Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 112 The Sandman's Request

The system suddenly starts to upgrade and maintain.

This is something Roger never expected.

According to his estimation, when he should become the most powerful group of people on earth, the system upgrade is possible.

To use game terms to describe it, it is at least until he clears the copy of the earth before the system can be upgraded to open a new copy.

But now, the development of things is completely different from what he imagined.

But he quickly calmed down.

Although he can't use the system during the system upgrade, it doesn't affect his strength.

The ability of devil fruit will not be sealed due to system upgrades.

Apart from being unable to deliver tasks and use the mall during the system upgrade, it won't have much impact on him.

After temporarily putting aside the matter of system upgrades, he refocused on the shiny fruit.

With the development experience of magma fruit, it is not difficult for him to quickly grasp the sparkling fruit.

But there is one thing he cares about, that is, he cannot use the elementalization of two fruits at the same time.

The colic just now almost made him see the revolving lantern of life.

That feeling, recalling it now, made him tremble involuntarily.

Although the system solves the problem that he can have multiple devil fruits at the same time.

But obviously, the system did not solve the compatibility problem of simultaneous elementalization of two natural fruits.

After getting used to the Shining Fruit in the training room, Roger opened the space door and returned to the building where he lived.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, he wrapped himself in a towel and left the bathroom.

Later, in the living room, he saw Sandman William Baker who was sitting like a kindergarten baby.

"How did you come?"

Roger frowned and looked at the Sandman, and asked in an unhappy tone.

A middle-aged man appeared at his home without saying hello, and he was still taking a bath.

"I... I'm having some trouble."

Sandman William Baker scratched his hair and said embarrassedly.

"What's the trouble?"

After taking out two bottles of Fat Boy's Happy Water from the refrigerator, Roger casually threw a bottle to the Sandman.

"In the confidential information of SHIELD, there is news about my whereabouts. The New York police are now looking for me all over the world."

"I'm now homeless."

After listening to the Sandman's words, Roger shook his head helplessly.

Sandman William Baker wasn't exactly a good guy, but he wasn't exactly a bad guy either.

Otherwise, with his ability, he would never have lived such a miserable life.

"Then what do you mean by coming to me, hoping that I can provide you with a place to live?"

Roger's perception of the sandman was not bad, but it was far from that of a friend or acquaintance.

He didn't feel obligated to help the Sandmen.

"No... that... I don't want you to help me for free..."

"Although I'm not particularly good at fighting, I'm definitely stronger than those ninjas under your command, and I'm also better than that lizard man. I can be your subordinate and help you do things, but..."

Looking at the squirming sandman, Roger began to wonder how he became a street gangster before.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't act like a bitch."

"I can solve the housing problem by myself, but I hope you can help my daughter, I know you have this ability."

"They are unwilling to accept the money I robbed, but my daughter's illness really can't be delayed any longer. If you are willing to help me, I can help you die forever."

The sand man spoke out his thoughts in one go.

However, after listening to his story, Roger did not answer him immediately.

Just when the sand man was getting more and more restless, he spoke.

"Go back, I don't need you to be my subordinate."

"Tell me your daughter's name, and I will add her name to the Don Quixote Group's medical assistance list."

When he was earning his reputation in the upper class before, Roger established a medical assistance fund in the name of Hand and Co., Ltd., which is specially used to help those in need who cannot afford high medical expenses.

This was originally just a small means for him to gain his reputation and wash his hands and make peace, just like those big bosses in the underground world like to hold charity parties from time to time.

After establishing don Quixote Group, he kept this medical assistance fund.

Although there are not very few people who can pass the application review, compared with the huge number of applicants, these people are always only a small part.

In fact, there are many such aid funds in New York, but the situation of each fund is similar, and the pass rate is not very high.

When he heard Roger's first words, the Sandman's face darkened instantly.

Then the next second, he heard Roger's willingness to help his daughter.

"Penny Baker, her name is Penny Baker."

The sand man said loudly with excitement.

"Well, I see, you can go."

"Okay, I'll go right away, thank you!"

While speaking, the sandman walked towards Roger quickly, and stretched out his right hand, trying to shake hands with Roger.

However, just as he was about to grab Roger's right hand, Roger moved his hand away.

He just got out of the shower.

Don't look at the sand man now looks no different from human beings, but his essence is sand.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Although he didn't hold Roger's hand, the Sand Man didn't take it seriously and continued to thank him.

Roger sighed silently when the Sand Man turned into sand and flew away from the window.

After changing into clean clothes, he opened the space door and came to the office of Don Quixote Group Building.

After reporting the name of Sandman's daughter to Jessica and asking her to arrange follow-up medical assistance, he turned on the TV and watched the final result of the hearing.

The proposal on how to deal with people with supernatural abilities did not reach the final result in the hearing.

However, the resolution on whether the American team Rogers and others exceeded the legal authority in the course of their actions has a result.

The official thanked the US team and others for their previous efforts, and no longer pursue specific incidents.

However, the special subsidies and allowances of the US team and others have been cancelled, and the corresponding privileges have also been cancelled.

Most importantly, Rogers' honorary title of Captain America was revoked.

To put it simply, starting today, Rogers and others are no longer agents, but a group of ordinary people.

Roger was not surprised by this result.

In any case, Rogers used to be a superhero that was strongly recognized by the government, and he was convicted and imprisoned as a criminal, but the government has not been able to do so for the time being.

Because this is not only a face problem of Rogers alone, but also a face problem of the American government.

After reading the results of the hearing, Roger made a phone call to Sharon Carter who has not yet returned to the Don Quixote Group.

"Go and contact those S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians who have been fired, and tell them that Don Quixote Group is willing to pay double the salary to hire them."

Roger didn't have much interest in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But those professional and technical personnel, he is still very interested.

And he can be sure that he is far from the only one who is interested in these technicians.

Combatants are easy to train, but these professional and technical personnel are not so easy.

After ordering Sharon Carter, Roger picked up the orthodox Hydra information provided by Norman Osborn and carefully browsed it.

The matter on SHIELD's side has been settled, and the rewards have already been obtained.

Then it's time to meet these orthodox Hydras for a while.

The upgrade of the system will not affect the tasks he is currently performing, at most it will not send the rewards so quickly.

But these are not a problem for Roger.

The Shining fruit is enough for him to digest for a while, as for the shaking fruit, it doesn't matter if it is a little later.

A few days ago, he got a small amount of orthodox Hydra information from Bucky and Winter Soldier 123.

However, Bucky and others are still just fighters, and they don't have much information.

But Norman Osborn was different.

Compared with the information provided by Bucky and others, the information provided by Norman Osborn is more than a little rich and detailed.

Daniel Whitehall, Sunil Bakshi, Gideon Malik, Helmut Zemo...

Looking at these familiar names, Roger began to quickly recall them in his mind.

and many more!

Something is wrong!

He reopened the information provided by Norman Osborn and focused on a name on the list.

Helmut Zemo?

Is this Baron Zemo?

Obviously, this Baron Zemo is not the same person as the Baron Zemo he remembered.

interesting!
After quickly browsing through the information provided by Norman Osborn, Roger sorted out the power he could use at hand.

Ninjas of the Hand...

Sharon Carter, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Erica...

Bucky the Winter Soldier, Winter Soldier 1, 2, 3...

He was supposed to have five Winter Soldier besides Bucky.

But it's a pity that two of them failed to survive the second brainwashing of five times the stimulation, and were beaten into idiots by Dr. Connors.

Judging from the number of people, he doesn't have many subordinates now.

However, it is barely enough to deal with the orthodox Hydra.

Soon, he decided on the next personnel arrangement.

Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Erica went to deal with Malik...

Bucky led Winter Soldier No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 to deal with Bakshi...

As for that ageless Daniel Whitehall, he'll settle it himself.

Whitehall's own strength is not very good, and even the extraordinary ability of not being old is transplanted to himself through special surgery.

However, Whitehall is very special, that is, he is the only leader of Hydra who has an understanding of aliens.

Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but think of Daisy Johnson, the alien with concussion superpowers.

After conveying the latest arrangements to Bucky and others through special channels, Roger opened the space door again and came to Norman Osborn's manor.

He is responsible for arranging the combatants, but Norman Osborn needs to help with other matters in the operation.
