Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 193 Unqualified Devil
Although it was a completely unfamiliar number, Roger knew that it was probably a call from S.H.I.E.L.D. without answering it.

As for whether it was Natasha or Gwen, he couldn't guess right now.

After pressing answer, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Roger, is that you?"

Gwen's voice was the same as before, but it sounded a little more tired.

"Yes, it's me."

Roger replied calmly.

"that……"

The phone was connected, but Gwen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Roger didn't speak either, and the two remained silent in a tacit understanding.

After nearly a minute, Roger took the initiative to break the silence.

"I heard that you are now the person in charge of the S.H.I.E.L.D. sub-base. How are you doing? Are you still getting used to it?"

Gwen didn't expect that Roger would take the initiative to bring this up, she was taken aback for a moment, and then continued: "It's okay, but I'm a little busier than when I was Spider-Woman."

After speaking, Gwen smiled wryly.

"Are you free tonight, do you want to come out and have dinner together?"

Roger took the initiative to invite.

"Okay, you can arrange the time and place."

"Okay, then I'll contact you later."

After finishing speaking, Roger hung up the phone and sighed helplessly.

Although some unpleasant things happened between him and Gwen, in general, he doesn't dislike Gwen.

If I have to say it, I can only say that everyone has different ideas.

And I don't know if it was because he was back in New York, back in the apartment where he lived before, and he suddenly became a little sentimental.

Although he is now much stronger than before, but thinking about it seriously, he was not particularly strong at the time, but he was actually quite happy.

After silently expressing emotion in his heart, he dialed the number of the person in charge of the Hand in New York.

Although the Hand did not move to Dressrosa with the Don Quixote Group, the current Hand is no longer the ninja killer organization it was before.

To some extent, the current Hand Association is actually a foreign company that pays taxes legally.

Roger doesn't know who the Hand is currently in charge of in New York, but this doesn't affect his control over the Hand.

After knowing that he was asking someone to have dinner tonight, the person in charge named Sato quickly arranged everything.

After booking the restaurant for dinner, Roger sent the time and location to Gwen.

After doing all this, he didn't go anywhere, just sat in the living room and watched TV boringly.

time flies.

When night fell, he left the apartment and drove to the restaurant by himself.

As for the driver arranged by Sato, he sent him back at will.

Although he hadn't lived in New York for a while, at least he spent his initial novice period here. He knew the streets and alleys of New York very well, but he didn't get lost.

As soon as he drove to the door of the restaurant, he saw Gwen who had just gotten off the taxi.

The two superpowers who used to like to swing around the high-rise buildings in New York are now using the most ordinary means of transportation.

"long time no see!"

Looking at Gwen, who had obviously matured a lot, Roger was the first to say hello.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Gwen didn't expect to bump into Roger at the door of the restaurant, and replied with a smile.

"Let's go in and talk."

After speaking, Roger made a lady-first gesture.

Inside the restaurant.

Roger and Gwen sat opposite each other, and neither of them spoke much.

This is a well-known French restaurant, although there are many customers, it is not noisy.

More importantly, the taste of the food here is very authentic, and the environment is also very good.

Neither Roger nor Gwen used any disguise, and not long after they sat down, some guests recognized their identities.

But they didn't care about this, they still looked at each other without saying a word.

In the end, it was still Roger who couldn't stand it.

"How is Boss Joe doing recently?"

"It's okay, Dad rarely leads the team on missions in person now, it's relatively safer."

Gwen replied calmly.

Then, there was another long silence.

"Does he know you're working for S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Roger asked again.

"I know! At the beginning, he didn't agree very much, but then he didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Roger suddenly became curious.

Based on what he knew about Boss Qiao, Boss Qiao shouldn't be the one to compromise so easily.

"How did you convince him?"

"I didn't convince him, I just moved out like you. Although he didn't agree very much, he could only agree in the end."

"After all, my previous identity has been exposed, and it is not realistic to find an ordinary job."

Gwen said it lightly, but Roger could see that she was not as indifferent as she appeared.

From childhood to adulthood, except for concealing that she is Spider-Woman, Gwen can be said to be an out-and-out obedient girl.

Don't talk about rebelling against Boss Qiao with actions, even if she talks back, she seldom does it.

"That's not necessarily the case. With your ability, if you are willing to make a movie, those directors will definitely grab you." Roger suggested with a smile.

"Forget about making movies, you should know that I'm not very interested in movies."

Gwen thought for a moment and rejected Roger's proposal.

"Let's not talk about me, what about you, how are you doing recently? It's now said that you have become the king of Wakanda." Gwen asked Roger back.

"It's not a king, it's just an elder, and it's a nominal one."

Roger was telling the truth, but obviously, Gwen didn't believe it very much, and he almost didn't write the word lying on his face.

Looking at Gwen's current expression, Roger thought for a few seconds, and asked with a serious expression: "If there is a chance for you to become an ordinary person again, would you consider becoming an ordinary person?"

After hearing Roger's words, Gwen froze for a moment.

After serious consideration, she slowly said, "No!"

"If it was before my parents were kidnapped, or before my identity was exposed, I might consider being an ordinary person again."

"But right now, I need that power to protect the people I want to protect."

As soon as Gwen finished answering, the waiter in the restaurant came down with the food.

"Let's eat first!" Roger said silently.

In the following time, he didn't talk to Gwen about any serious issues, nor did he intend to inquire about information from Gwen. He chatted casually about some past events.

He originally planned to meet and see if he could find out some useful information, and then lure Gwen to sign a contract to give his soul.

But now, he changed his mind.

After dinner, he drove Gwen to a pedestrian path beside the Hudson River, and walked with Gwen casually.

After strolling for a while, he suddenly said to Gwen: "If I tell you now, I have a very special mission now."

"After this task is completed, it can make me stronger, but to complete this task, you need to sacrifice your soul. Will you agree?"

"Need me to pay my soul?"

Gwen stopped in her tracks and looked at Roger suspiciously.

"To be precise, it's your and Natasha's souls?"

"You should know the devil. It is an evil creature in myths and legends that tempts people to give their souls. The task I have to do now is similar to that of the devil."

Roger would not disclose the existence of the system to Gwen, but he chose to disclose part of the mission content to Gwen, allowing Gwen to decide whether to sign the contract.

"Okay, Mr. Devil, then what method are you going to use to lure me to give my soul?"

Gwen asked with a smile.

Obviously, she took what Roger said just now as a joke.

"I don't know." Roger answered honestly.

"I don't know? You devil looks very unqualified?"

Hearing this, Gwen became more and more determined that Roger was joking.

Seeing Gwen's expression of disbelief written all over his face, Roger sighed helplessly.

"I'm really not kidding."

As soon as the words fell, he used the ability of the human fruit devil form and entered the half-truth form.

I saw a cloud of black mist gushing out of his body and wrapping around his head.

When the black mist dissipated, what appeared in front of Gwen was a devil's head with four curved horns, golden vertical pupils and a mouth full of fangs.

"This is my devil form, you should believe it now!"

Roger thought that after seeing his devil's head, Gwen would more or less believe what he just said.

However, he never expected that when he showed his devil's head, Gwen said with a smile: "Is this the new ability you cultivated in Wakanda? It looks scary."

While speaking, Gwen also raised his right hand, held the sharp horns on his head, and twisted slightly.

After confirming that the horns on his head were not some illusion, she opened his eyelids with her right hand and looked at his golden vertical pupils.

Finally, when Gwen tried to flick the fangs in his mouth with his fingers, Roger stopped her curiosity.

Too much!

Now he is a devil showing part of his real body, not some other kind of pet.

"I believe you are the devil now, tell me, what do you want my soul to do?"

That said, but judging from Gwen's expression, Roger could be sure that she still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

"do not know."

When he said this, Roger himself felt that he was a bit unqualified now.

The task only required him to lure Gwen and Natasha to sign a contract to give their souls, and did not require him to do anything to the souls of Gwen and Natasha.

He had considered this issue before, but it turned out that he didn't know what to do after getting the souls of Gwen and Gwen.

He just ate the human fruit in the form of a devil, and he was not a real devil. He didn't have any need for such things as a soul.

If it wasn't for the requirements of the mission, he wouldn't consider using the soul as a reward at all.

Compared with things like the soul, he prefers something that can be seen, touched, or used in daily life.

For example, super powers, life span, physical body and so on.

If it really doesn't work, money and antiques are also fine.

"You don't know what to use to lure me, and you don't even know what to do after you get my soul. Even if you are a real devil, you are still a very unqualified devil!"

Gwen gave a serious evaluation.

"I really haven't figured it out yet, but you can't doubt my ability just because of this!"

After speaking, Roger used the ability of the devil form to create a piece of parchment and a quill out of thin air.

When the parchment and the quill appeared, he quickly started writing without any hesitation.

He did not use the devil's words full of traps, but wrote the entire content of the contract in English.

"Sign it, and when the contract is completed, your soul will be mine."

The remuneration given by Roger in the contract can be said to be very simple, or it can be said to be very complicated.

a wish!
A wish without any limits!

After Gwen signs the contract, as long as he can fulfill Gwen's wish, he can get Gwen's soul.

"Can any wish be allowed?"

There is not much content on the contract, and it didn't take Gwen long to read it.

"No, it must be within the scope of my ability. I will definitely not be able to fulfill the wish that is too exaggerated."

Roger is well aware of his current abilities.

Only one wish was written, purely because he didn't know what to write, and left the decision to Gwen.

"Is it okay to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Gwen asked again.

"No, this is absolutely not possible! Although this is within my ability, I will not do such a thing that goes against my heart."

"You really are an unqualified devil!"

Gwen's voice sounded again.

"Don't you have any other wishes?" Roger urged.

He doesn't mind maintaining the devil form of a partial real body for a long time.

But some people don't want him to do that.

For example, Master Karma Taj in the New York Temple.

Not long after he showed his devil form, he received a reminder from Gu Yi using magic, indicating that he should return to his normal human form as soon as possible.

"Come to the movies with me, if you can do it, I will sign this contract now."

Gwen thought for a while, then said slowly.

See a movie?
"I want to solemnly remind you that this contract is real. Once you sign it, you will really lose your soul."

Roger frowned.

"Are you going to take my soul immediately, or after I die?" Gwen asked indifferently.

"Uh... whatever, after signing the contract, I can take whatever I want."

It used to be that others couldn't keep up with his own thinking, but now, it's Roger's turn to be unable to keep up with Gwen's thinking.

Does she even know what this means?
This is no April Fool's joke!

"okay, I get it!"

While speaking, Gwen took the initiative to take the parchment and quill in Roger's hand, and quickly began to write.

She first crossed out the description of a wish and changed it to watch a movie with her.

Then, in the position where the signature was signed, I signed my name.

In the end, she returned the parchment and quill to Roger with an indifferent face.

This……

Until Gwen put the parchment and quill back into his hands, Roger still felt unreal.

Looking at the contract in his hand, and then at Gwen in front of him, he sighed helplessly.

The contract to sell the soul has come into effect!
