Straw Hat Deputy Captain of One Piece

"Hahaha, so funny John, look at this guy, so funny~~"

Along the way, Luffy was attracted to all kinds of toys, and now he was playing with a soldier toy with a broken leg, which made John very annoyed.Please, we are not children anymore, nor are we adult toys. Ahem, what's so exciting? Don't delay the business, okay?

In desperation, John pulled Luffy aside and secretly told him about the Fire Fruit. For a moment, Luffy became quiet and looked serious.This surprised Nami who was secretly observing from a distance. What did John say to Luffy to make Luffy do this?

"Let's go to the arena quickly," Luffy said.

"Yeah." John nodded and looked at Luffy's anxious look, "Wait a minute, let's change our clothes first."

"Why the change of clothes?" Luffy didn't know why.

"Um... This is hard to explain for a while. In short, we are participating together. I am in the light and you are in the dark. In the end, no matter who wins the championship, he will get the Fire Fruit. This is the safest way. plan." John explained.Of course, the real reason is that John thinks that he is the one who has been appointed, so he definitely cannot change his costume. After all, with the degree of blindness in the pirate world, no one would recognize him even with a slight beard.

In comparison, Luffy's characteristics are too distinct. If Doflamingo's people see John participating in the competition with Luffy, what will Ming Ge think? Will he regard John as himself? Man, if Doflamingo's leaders don't let go, can Ace's Fire Fruit be easily obtained?

"Listen to you."

At this moment, John discovered that Luffy had really grown up.In the past, Luffy would have said impulsively that no matter who it was, he would just shoot them all away.Today's Luffy, while having confidence, is no longer blindly arrogant. He knows that there are people outside the world, and he knows the priorities of things. The more he cares about something, the more he must be calm and the more he must choose a reasonable strategy.

After a while, the two people, who had changed their costumes, arrived at the gladiatorial venue.

"Enter, John."

"Participate in the competition, the road is west"

"Okay, here's the number plate."

After the two entered the arena,

"I want to sign up too, my name is Nanako~~" Nami also entered the venue wearing a mask.

Nami originally thought that John was going to the audience to trade with others, but now it seems that is not the case.Originally, Nami was unwilling to follow her. After all, what if she was in danger? But when she thought about John possibly making a deal with someone behind the scenes, it was really hard for Nami to endure it for a while. In the worst case, her identity would be exposed, and Luffy would follow her. John and two thugs are here, who can do anything to Nami?

With this idea in mind, Nami also followed in.

Once inside, John gestured to Luffy, and the two of them acted separately.Watching Luffy being led towards the rest area, John thought to himself that with Luffy's taunting buff, even if he changed his costume, it would probably cause quite a stir.But that's okay, Luffy helps attract attention, and John can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and act in the dark.

So now, should we go say hello to Doflamingo's leaders first?

Just as John was thinking this,

"Senior John~~~~"

A familiar voice sounded, and a lewd rooster-combed head was seen, like a wild dog pouncing on its food, bah, pouncing towards John.

"It's you boy"

John's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming. Isn't this a crazy fan of their Straw Hats? Bartolomeo who helped John back then. Good guy, John still recognizes Bartolomeo's strength and respects him.

John's character, heck, his loyalty to him is also outstanding. With such a big helper, this gladiatorial meeting is simply a sure thing.

"I was so moved that I could see my senior's face again." Bartolomeo hugged John excitedly. The unknown people next to him saw it and immediately stayed away.Not to mention Ba Tuo's notoriety, the people around them didn't dare to disturb them when they saw the erotic scene between them.

Heavy taste, the vice-captain of the Straw Hats, obviously looks like a human, but I didn’t expect the taste to be so heavy that I can’t offend him, I can’t afford to offend him.

"Okay, okay, why are you here?" John quickly stopped Bato's sensationalism, otherwise it would be endless.

"Of course I got the news. I guess John-senpai is here for that. The Fire Fruit must be dedicated to Luffy-senpai," Bartolomeo said matter-of-factly.

John frowned,

"You also got the news. This is not a secret."

"Of course it's not secret. Otherwise, why would there be so many powerful people? Senior John, it seems that your father also brought people to participate." Bartolomeo said.

"My father is here too"

John's expression changed.There is another one of our own participating in the competition, and he is also a strong one. Logically speaking, the chance of winning the championship should be more stable.However, since his father came to participate in the competition in person, he was obviously determined to win the Fire Fruit. In the end, the championship may have been won as soon as he said it, but John was in a dilemma and was not a good person.

John originally wanted to give the Fire Fruit to Luffy, no matter what Luffy did with it.Although it is just a guess, maybe Luffy, as the protagonist, can eat two Devil Fruits. But he may not have any feelings for his father, John in the past, but since he went back last time, his father would rather disobey the world government to protect himself, and even He also secretly taught him the Fist of the King in an unusual way. John is not a cold-blooded animal, so he would not feel anything in his heart.

Therefore, if his father also hopes to get the Fire Fruit, John will really have a hard time.

However, before that,

"The news about the Fire Fruit probably didn't spread just recently, right?" John touched his chin.

"Yes, we also got the news and came here from a very far away place." Bartolomeo replied.

John was silent,

"Then why do you think Doflamingo got the Fire Fruit and didn't keep it for his own people to attract so many strong men here?" John vaguely felt that there was a conspiracy here, and it was quite big. conspiracy.If the purpose was to lure Luffy here, the Straw Hats had no news at all beforehand. Instead, it was John who brought them to Dressrosa.Unscientific, really unscientific

"No matter what, with so many powerful people here now, even Doflamingo can't come up with a fake one," Bartolomeo said.

John nodded, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Could it be an artificial Devil Fruit? Since Caesar has developed an animal-type artificial Devil Fruit, it is not ruled out that natural-type artificial Devil Fruits may also appear, right? It's just a natural-type artificial devil fruit. The fruit may still be in the research stage, so Doflamingo uses this method to attract strong people to help them test the semi-finished product.

Holding the conspiracy theory, John felt that this possibility seemed very high.It seems that even if you get the Fire Fruit in the end, you have to be more cautious.

During the exchange between the two, it turned out that John's father sent someone to find him.

John smiled bitterly, he still had to face what he had to face. If he had known better, he would have just come here in disguise.However, at this moment, John did not expect that his father called him over and was not talking about the Fire Fruit.If it was just a fire fruit, it would not be enough for the king, Elizabeth II, to personally take action.
