Pirate Traveling Merchant

The winter in Cote Island is very unusual this year, the snow is getting heavier and heavier.According to the old people in the town, they have never seen such an amount of snow in their entire lives here. It can be said that it only happens once in a hundred years.

The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, already half a meter thick. After Nolan got up early in the morning, he went out to clear the snow at the door.Holding a shovel, he dug shovel by shovel.

"Whoo~~~~~~"

After Nolan finished clearing the snow at the door, he looked up at the sky. "This snow has no intention of stopping. It seems that we have to go to the village to buy food and be prepared not to go out for a few days."

After putting the shovel back in the utility room, Nolan put on a thick gray coat, scarf, and fur hat.Opening Long Yi's room: "Master Long Yi, I'm going to the town to buy some food."

Long Yi hadn't gotten up yet and was still lying on the bed. "OK, all right."

Nolan looked worriedly at Long Yi, who had not yet stood up.According to Long Yi's previous schedule, he got up early at this time, went shopping first, and came back as soon as possible.After making a decision, Nolan straightened his scarf and opened the door and went out.

Click, the door closed.

Long Yi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes slightly.Now he was covered in sweat and his breathing was a little short. "It seems I can't hold on much longer. Ahem." After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

On the other hand, Nolan was running on the snow, partly to save time and partly to exercise himself.During the days when Long Yi's health deteriorated, Nolan hardly went to training and stayed at home as much as possible every day, although Long Yi told him not to worry and that he could go exercise.But Nolan still didn't go out. His intuition told him that Long Yi's situation was not very optimistic.

No matter how Long Yi promised that it was okay, Nolan just didn't go out. After persuading him to no avail, Long Yi had no choice but to give up and let Nolan do whatever he wanted.He knew that if Nolan was stubborn, he wouldn't be able to pull ten cows back.

It took Nolan 10 minutes to arrive in the town. When he first entered the town, he actually met James, the owner of the grocery store. "Hi, little Nolan, long time no see." Uncle James greeted Nolan.

"Yeah, the weather has been so bad recently, so I haven't come to town much." Nolan greeted him with a smile and explained why he hadn't come to town much.

Uncle James put his hands on his hips, "Well, the snow is so weird this year. By the way, what are you doing in town today?"

"I'm going to buy some food today and go back to store it. Otherwise, if the snow keeps falling like this, it will be troublesome to go out." Nolan pointed to a shop selling food not far away.

"Go on, be careful on the way back. I have to go do some work." Uncle James said quickly and left.

Nolan smiled and shook his head. Uncle James was such a fiery character that he didn't give people any time to react. Nolan also started to go into the store to buy food.

Not long after, Nolan returned with a large bag full of food.

Long Yi, who was at home, had returned to normal at this time, no longer sweating in pain like in the morning.Holding a book, Long Yi looked at it as if nothing happened.

Click, the sound of the door opening. "Master Long Yi, I'm back."

Long Yi responded from the room: "Well, thank you for your hard work."

Nolan, who was coming in to put down the food, frowned and looked at Long Yi's door with a solemn expression.Long Yi has been becoming more and more gentle to him recently, which makes Nolan feel very uncomfortable. Although Nolan has been telling himself in his heart that he thinks too much, Long Yi's various behaviors make Nolan have to think wildly.

After adjusting his somewhat uncomfortable mood, Nolan continued to work.

After finishing things, Nolan usually sits in the hall, either in a daze or reading a book.Always pay attention to the movement in Long Yi's room. As long as there is any disturbance, Nolan will rush in immediately.

What was different today was that just when Nolan was about to sit down and rest, Long Yi called him in.

"Little Nolan, come in."

"Um...Okay" Nolan opened the door and went in, coming to Long Yi's bedside.

"Help me take down the locked box on top of the cabinet." Long Yi pointed to the top of the wardrobe in the room.

"Okay." Nolan knew about this box. He tried to open it secretly several times, but he was caught by Long Yi and lectured severely. Long Yi didn't let him know what was inside at all.

Nolan handed the box to Long Yi, who stroked the box and said, "Do you know why I never let you know what's in this box?"

Nolan shook his head and said nothing.

Long Yi continued: "Because the things inside cannot be taken out for others to see. If you don't, you will be arrested by the CP organization."

"What's inside?" Nolan has always wanted to know what is inside. Now that he heard what Long Yi said, he wanted to know even more.

"This thing was passed over from the hands of the Celestial Dragons during the Marie Joa incident." Long Yi opened the box, and there was a very strange fruit inside. It was square in shape and covered with things similar to houses. pattern.

Nolan took a closer look, "What is this?" Nolan had never seen such a fruit before. It had a strange appearance and strange patterns. It didn't look like something very edible. It should be some kind of craft. products.

Long Yi took out the fruit and said, "This is the devil fruit."

Nolan suddenly jumped up and said, "Ah, this is the devil fruit."

This is the first time Nolan has seen a real Devil Fruit. He has always wanted to own a Devil Fruit. Among the people who have fought with him before, those with Devil Fruit abilities are very difficult to deal with. Nolan wants to He must also get a powerful devil fruit so that he can beat Chris later.

"Well, yes. But what's special about this Devil Fruit is that it's a Devil Fruit with unknown abilities. It's an unknown Devil Fruit."

"The unknown is so mysterious, so we should be able to sell it for a good price." Nolan touched his chin and said. Ordinary devil fruits can be sold on the black market for a high price of [-] or [-] million beli, and this unknown devil fruit It must be possible to sell it at a higher price.For Nolan, who is obsessed with money, the first thing that comes to his mind is not whether he wants to eat it, but how much he can sell it for.

"Alas..." Long Yi sighed helplessly, "I knew you would think so, but I advise you not to do this. This devil fruit was taken from the Tianlong people. In addition, It is another undiscovered devil fruit. As soon as you take it out and sell it, people from the CP organization will come to your door."

Nolan's shoulders suddenly slumped, "Well, that wouldn't be interesting."

"You brat, I didn't take it out for you to sell. I asked you if you want to eat it."

"Yeah" Nolan sat up straight, staring at this unknown devil fruit.He hesitated. In his heart, he really wanted to have the ability of the Devil Fruit, but he didn't want to have an ability that was useless or difficult to use. In that case, it would be better not to have it, not to mention eating the Devil Fruit. After that, they will be abandoned by the sea and will never be able to swim again.

"What type of ability does this devil fruit have?"

"I don't know about that." Long Yi shook his head.

Longyi gave the fruit to Nolan and said: "Think about it carefully. Eat it if you want. I just don't know what kind of abilities you will get. It is impossible to sell it. Don't underestimate the intelligence of the CP organization. Ability, as long as you dare to sell it, they will find it immediately. If you don't eat it, just find a place to throw it away. "

After once again hitting Nolan's idea of ​​selling the Devil Fruit, Long Yi asked Nolan to take the fruit back to his room.

After Nolan returned to the room, he was still confused.Putting the fruit on the bed, Nolan lay on the edge of the bed, "Ah... it's so difficult." Nolan really wanted to sell this devil fruit, but he couldn't. Sell.He wanted to throw away the fruit, but he was reluctant to part with it. Maybe the ability of this fruit was a very good ability.

"Ahhhhhhhh...ahhh...ah...ah...ah..."

Nolan was so tangled that he grabbed his hair and rolled on the ground.
