Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 192
Even the 084 that I worked so hard to collect before, fearing that it would fall into the hands of other people, has been used as a reward. It can be seen that the current S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed not as good as it used to be.

Since SHIELD went underground and lost official support, the decline of SHIELD has become an inevitable thing.

Not to mention that S.H.I.E.L.D. has lost various official rights, the materials needed to maintain the entire organization alone are an astronomical figure.

Although ideals can fool people, ideals cannot fill the stomach of reality.

Not to mention, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still an external action agency.

Every external action will further consume their resources.

So over time, S.H.I.E.L.D. has become weaker and weaker, which is a matter of course.

After browsing through the files in his hand, Roger randomly selected three items from it.

One of them is the obelisk that fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.

For ordinary people, the obelisk is a dangerous object that will kill you if you touch it, but for aliens, it is a prop for awakening superpowers.

There are several such obelisks in Dressrosa.

After Roger chose the reward he wanted, Natasha and Barbara's expressions became much more relaxed.

Since Roger is willing to accept these things, it means that they can continue to cooperate.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Roger took a sip of the black coffee in front of him and asked casually.

"We're now trying to find a way to pinpoint the exact location of those people, and once that's pinpointed, we'll launch a raid."

"They have a lot of people, and they also have some special equipment on them. It is not an easy task to deal with them."

"So when we act, we hope that you can go there together and help us solve them!"

Natasha fixed her eyes on Roger and said slowly.

"Is it to kill or capture?"

Roger continued.

Those alien enemies in the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D. are all his subordinates.

Although he wants to complete the task on Natasha and Gwen, it doesn't mean that he will sell his subordinates directly.

Although he usually looks like throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper, no matter how he throws his hands away, he has no habit of betraying his subordinates.

"It is of course best to be able to capture them successfully, but judging from the fighting power they have shown before, it is not easy to capture them."

Natasha frowned and said.

In terms of actual combat quality, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are pretty good.

But it's a pity that what they are meeting now is a team built according to the standards of the Interstellar Special Forces.

In Roger's original plan, the Ayasha Legion under Baki's control was aimed at the Nova Legion.

If he hadn't consumed all the nova energy accumulated by the super life computer "Heart of the World" in one go in order to awaken the line fruit, the strength of the Tianyasha army would be even stronger.

"In this case, let's wait until you lock the target!"

Roger said indifferently.

He wasn't worried that S.H.I.E.L.D. would find his men.

What's more, now he is personally undercover in S.H.I.E.L.D.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. had found all of this, then there was no need for him to keep those people in the Tianyasha Legion.

"Let's talk here beforehand, let's talk about personal matters now, when did Gwen return to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Roger asked Natasha.

Although Gwen was considered a secret agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. before, strictly speaking, Gwen was not considered an official agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but only cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D.

But Natasha told him in person yesterday that Gwen became an official agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the person in charge of a certain base.

"She officially joined us shortly after her family was kidnapped."

"If you've been paying attention to the news in New York, you should have noticed that Spider-Woman hasn't been on the headlines for a long time."

Natasha was not surprised that Roger would ask this question, and said it directly without any concealment.

"I want to meet her, can you arrange it?"

Although he has no specific plan to get along with Natasha and Gwen, but before that, he plans to meet with Gwen first to learn about Gwen's specific situation, and then see if he can find a suitable opportunity.

It might seem sinister to lure Natasha and Gwen into selling their souls, but Roger doesn't think it's going to have serious consequences.

The reason is simple, because he is not really the devil.

He will not torture the souls of others like the devil in hell.

He also doesn't have the perverted hobby of hell devils getting pleasure from the pain of others.

Because of the contract, the souls of Natasha and Gwen will fall into his hands.

But as long as he doesn't do evil things to their souls, it doesn't make much difference whether the souls are in his hands or in Natasha's and Gwen's own hands.

To put it simply, after possessing the souls of both of them, he can do some bad things to them.

But if he didn't do anything, it wouldn't have any effect on the two of them.

"This should be fine, but I need to consult Gwen himself first."

Natasha did not directly agree to Roger.

Although she wished that Gwen would meet Roger, if Gwen didn't want to, she couldn't force Gwen.

In terms of combat experience, Gwen may not be as good as Natasha.

But if they really fight, the loser must be Natasha.

"Yes, I will stay in New York during this time, you can contact me at any time."

After speaking, Roger took out a mobile phone and told Natasha the number.

"it is good!"

After getting Roger's contact information, Natasha and Barbara quickly left the restaurant and quickly disappeared from Roger's sight.

After they left, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number, contacting the person in charge of the Hand in New York.

Half an hour later, a Bentley appeared outside the restaurant, and two Asian men in black suits got off from it.

This is the car sent by the Hand to pick up Roger, and the two men who look like bodyguards are ninjas from the Hand.

When Roger got into the car, the two Hand ninjas got back into the car, started the car and left.

S.H.I.E.L.D., in a base in New York.

Gwen, who was dealing with the daily affairs of the base, suddenly received a call from Natasha.

After listening to what Natasha said, she first frowned slightly, and then slowly said: "I have no problem, anytime is fine."

Natasha called Gwen, of course to ask Gwen's opinion.

Although Gwen didn't know about SHIELD's cooperation with Roger before, after listening to Natasha's story, she didn't think there was anything wrong with SHIELD's decision.

In the past, she only needed to deal with the crimes she encountered, or help New York citizens out of danger.

However, when she became an official agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and became the head of one of the bases, her ideas matured a lot.

In the past, she could only see black and white, and thought that all things and people in the world could be simply distinguished by black and white, good and bad.

But now, she finds that besides black and white, there are many gray areas in the world.

What Roger did, in her opinion now, was a typical walk in a gray area.

The change in concept eliminated some of her previous misunderstandings about Roger.

After hanging up the phone, Gwen, wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, left the office and came to the training room in the base.

Gwen is now not only the person in charge of this small base, but also the newcomer training officer in the base.

Former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.

Now, however, everything can only be resolved by themselves.

The base that Gwen is in charge of now is not big, and there are not many members of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even with the support staff, there are only 50 to [-] people.

Among them, there are less than 20 people who can go to the field.

When Gwen came to the training room, all the field agents who were undergoing combat training in the training room stopped and nodded slightly to her.

When Gwen first came to the base, especially after knowing that she was the new person in charge of the base, the agents in the base did not particularly trust her ability.

In his early twenties, he has never performed the mission of S.H.I.E.L.D., nor has any experience in leading a team...

Although the agents in the base would not openly oppose the appointment of the headquarters, during the period when Gwen first arrived, the agents in the base, especially those senior agents who already had extensive operational experience, more or less had some Yin obeys yang and violates.

However, this situation of obedience to yin and yang in violation was quickly resolved by Gwen.

She didn't deliberately make things difficult for the agents, but called them all to the training room.

However, alone, with his bare hands, he beat all the agents to the ground.

Since then, there has never been any incident of yin and yang in the base.

Most of those who are currently undergoing combat training in the training room are field agents.

There are also a few newcomers who have no experience at all.

These newcomers were personally recruited by Gwen after she became the person in charge of the base, and several of them were her college classmates.

Although the current salary of S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot be compared with that of the past, compared with ordinary jobs, the salary is quite generous.

Aside from being a bit dangerous, being an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is basically a decent job.

After coming to the training room, Gwen took off her jacket, revealing her not-so-proud but graceful upper body.

Afterwards, she began to personally teach these newbies who had just entered S.H.I.E.L.D. how to do melee combat.

Time passed little by little, and Gwen didn't put on his coat again until after completing this newcomer's fighting training.

Just as she was about to return to the office, a blond man in his early twenties came in front of her.

"Gwen, I bought two tickets for a stage play today, do you want to watch it together?"

The man who spoke was Jack, one of Gwen's college classmates.

Jack wasn't originally in Gwen's recruitment plan.

But Jack, relying on his own ability, found the location of the base and expressed a strong willingness to be counted.

After conducting some basic assessments and investigations on him, Jack joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Sorry, I have work to do tonight."

Gwen calmly declined Jack's invitation.

"Okay, then let's find a chance to go together next time."

Being rejected, Jack didn't show any displeasure, and said with a smile.

In this group of newcomers, Jack is undoubtedly the best one.

With his ability, even if he doesn't join S.H.I.E.L.D., he can still find a very good job outside.

Gwen knew exactly why Jack wanted to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, Jack had been courting her a lot since he was still in school.

After knowing that she is Spider-Woman, Jack's pursuit became more and more violent.

However, no matter what he did, Gwen's attitude towards him was always lukewarm.

Before becoming the person in charge of the base, Gwen rejected Jack's confession several times.

But Jack didn't care about this at all, and continued his fierce pursuit, and finally even found the location of the base directly, and joined the S.H.I.E.L.D.

For Jack's insistence, all Gwen can do is to reduce her private time with him as much as possible.

Seeing Gwen's back gradually disappearing into the aisle, Jack frowned slightly.

Then, a confident look appeared on his face again.

The existence of superhuman beings is now well known.

Among transhuman fans, some want to be superheroes, and others want to be superhero men.

Jack is that guy who wants to be a superhero man.

More importantly, he is not the kind of person who only fantasizes, he has excellent execution ability.

Not only Gwen is very clear about his little thought, but most of the people in the base are also very clear.

If SHIELD didn't need fresh blood now, Gwen would never let Jack join SHIELD.

After returning to the office, Gwen sat down and looked at the phone number on the post-it note.

It was Roger's number that was written on the note.

Natasha did not help them arrange the time and place to meet, but told Gwen Roger's number and let her decide when to contact Roger.

Just when Gwen was considering whether to contact Roger, Roger was sitting bored in the living room of the apartment.

Although he has now moved to Dressrosa, the Hand in New York has not forgotten his previous apartment.

According to the two Hand ninjas before, special personnel will come to clean the apartment every week.

As for the rent, the Hand in New York has been helping him pay for it.

This is not his arrangement, nor is it the arrangement of Jia Yi, but the decision of the hand in charge of New York.

Looking at the apartment that hadn't changed in front of him, Roger felt a little bit emotional.

How time flies!

In the blink of an eye, he has been in this world for several years.

The sparring with Sharon Carter, the Sandman's attack, Thor's domineering visit...

What happened in the apartment once appeared in his mind like a movie scene.

Thinking of this, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call to Jia Yi who was far away in Wakanda.

"Help me find out the latest whereabouts of William Baker, and investigate the situation of his daughter Penny Baker by the way."

The last time he saw William Baker the Sandman was in the living room of his apartment.

If he remembered correctly, the sand man was sitting in his current position at that time.

After calling A Yi, he put the phone aside casually, came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the scenery outside.

Not long after, the phone rang.

With a slight hook of his right index finger, the mobile phone he had placed on the table flew towards him and landed firmly in his hand.

He thought it was a call from A Yi, but on the glass-like transparent screen, a completely unfamiliar number was displayed.
