The gourmet among pirates

A circle of people gathered around him, pouring water on him to extinguish the small flames that burned from time to time on his body.

After Maureen arrived at the scene, he took a brief look at Ace and then started rummaging around.

After a while, in the basket in the corner, I saw half an orange-red spherical fruit that smelled bad and seemed to have rotted.

Seeing the countless small flame-shaped spiral fruit patterns on the skin forming a Devil Fruit coat, Mo Lin was speechless.

[Here I go, it’s really a burning fruit! ! ! 】

Molin stretched out his finger and poked the burning fruit that Ace had bitten off most of.

As a result, this half of the Devil Fruit, which seemed to be severely spoiled, quickly turned black and rotted into a mud-like thing.

Looking at this pile of rotten things, Mo Lin, who always had a big appetite, felt a rare nausea.

"Sure enough, the true essence of the Devil Fruit was transferred the moment it was first eaten?"

After shaking his head, Maureen pushed through the crowd, picked up Ace, and walked back.

Buddy: "Colonel, Esther..."

Mo Lin waved his hand: "It's nothing serious, it's just the sequelae caused by eating a terrible fruit! It's okay, everyone should leave!"

In this way, Maureen carried Ace and walked out of the slum.

on the way.

Maureen saw many children in the slums, or women hiding in corners, looking at Ace with worry.

From their slightly bulging pockets and the fruits on their hands, Molin seemed to understand something.

When walking out of the slums.

He said to Buddy who was following behind him: "I remember that we have enough reserves on board for a month!"

Buddy paused for a moment, then said: "What you said is too little, our reserves are enough to last for one and a half months, and... this is calculated according to your standards, according to our reserves of warships of the same type Calculated, our reserves are enough to support the soldiers on board for three months."

Maureen turned her head expressionlessly, stared at Buddy and said, "I know I eat a lot, you don't need to remind me of this!"

After giving Buddy a "cold" look, Maureen turned back and sped away.

After Molin walked away, a voice that belonged to Molin suddenly sounded in Buddy's ears.

"After replenishing the half-month lack of reserves on our ship, don't increase the load on the Sturgeon. By the way, let people distribute the remaining food to these people in the slums. We won't need it anyway. , don’t waste it.”

He heard Molin's restrained voice ringing in his ears alone.

Mr. Buddy was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his steady face.

After tightening his coat, Buddy scanned the slums and thought.

[Winter is coming soon. With this batch of food, many people will die in the slums of Rivers Kingdom this year! 】

[By the way, we need to tell those little cubs to do their work quickly. There is so much food that can’t be divided in a while. 】

Next, return to your hotel.

Maureen threw Ace into the hotel bathtub and ignored him.

This lucky guy was able to get a priceless natural devil fruit so easily, and even if he suffered a little, it was easy for him.

Although the natural devil fruit initially took a lot of time because it had to completely transform the user's body to give the user the elemental ability.

But it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s too long.

About half an hour after Maureen came back with Ace.

Ace woke up leisurely in the hotel bathroom.

After waking up, Ace looked at himself naked, and couldn't help but let out a panicked cry.

"what!!!"

boom!

A few seconds after Ace shouted, Molin, covering half of his ears, threw them in.

He said with a headache: "Why are you making so much noise? I'm so annoyed."

After seeing Molin come in, Ace covered his vitals with both hands in panic and shouted: "Get out quickly, didn't you even knock on the door when you came in?"

"Tch, little bean sprouts are so shy!" Molin rolled his eyes mockingly, and then placed the set of clothes he had just bought on the small stool in the bathroom.

"By the way, I put the clothes on the stool. Once you're done wearing them, you can come out by yourself!"

After speaking, Maureen turned around and walked out of the bathroom without waiting for Ace to answer.

When going out, Maureen did not forget to slam the bathroom door shut.

After Maureen went out.

Ace, who was hiding in the corner of the bathtub and shivering, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just when Ace subconsciously relaxed.

The bathroom door was opened instantly, and then Molin, who was holding a camera in his hand, pressed the shutter of the camera at a speed that was too fast to cover his ears.

"click";

"click";

"Click"······

In less than a second, Molin's shutter flew up.

The continuous camera flashes almost blinded Ace's big eyes.

Then, when Ace reacted, he closed and locked the bathroom door with a bang!

······

Looking at the camera in her hand, Mo Lin had an unscrupulous smile on her lips.

"If Ace's childhood 'collector's edition' photos were in his previous life, I don't know how many otakus would have rushed to buy these photos."

"Hehehe, I have to hide these photos, otherwise if Ace finds them, they will be burned down."

······

After Mo Lin closed the door again, Ace felt that he had been "stained". His face was brushed first, losing all color and becoming extremely pale.

Then the next second, unquenchable anger arose in Ace's heart.

"Ahhh! Bastard, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you bastard!"

Ace, who was furious, felt as if he had turned into soaring rage at this moment, and his whole body was on fire.

No.

It wasn't just his feelings. At this moment, Ace's whole body was really on fire.

Clusters of orange-red flames continued to emerge from Ace's body.

Even his hands turned into a blazing flame at this moment.

·······

After feeling the amazing temperature coming from the bathroom.

Mo Lin touched his chin and thought: "This is a hotel. If it is burned down, you will have to pay for it. Well, we can't let Ace destroy public property, otherwise I won't have money to compensate him."

Thinking of this, Morin returned to the bathroom again, turned on the shower, pressed Ace's head with his arm wrapped in sound armor, poured his incomplete elemental body, and poured it all over with a basin of water. cold.
