The Pirate: Throne of Bones

Under the dim starry night, a huge steel beast was sailing on the empty sea.

With the shipgirl Artoria here, no matter it was day or night, it would not have much impact on Warspite's navigation.

Aboard the Warspite.

Shipgirl Arturia controlled the voyage of Warspite in the main control room of the battleship, while Verless was lying on the side of the ship near the deck, thinking about the awakening of Devil Fruit abilities.

Milena, on the other hand, ran into the storage room of the Warspite.

"Bailey...gold...jewelry...artwork..."

"Money for milk powder, money for milk powder, money for milk powder..."

Milena squatted on the ground, counting her current wealth, and kept muttering "milk powder money" in her mouth.

Obviously, Milena has never used the phrase "money for milk powder" mentioned casually by Velez before.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Why are there so few!!!"

After counting all the money and gold and silver jewelry in the storage room, Milena slammed her hand on the ground and let out a heart-rending wail.

According to Milena's inventory, there is really not much money left in the hands of Milena and Villes.

Without counting the value of those jewelry and works of art, and only counting Pele, it is "only" a little over 15 billion Pele.

As for gold?

Because of the shipgirl Artoria, the gold was directly confiscated by Verles.

"Alas~" Milena sighed quietly, with a bit of expectation in her tone, "I hope the pirates on the Grand Line can be richer and have higher bounties on their bodies."

For the "milk powder money" that Villes calls, Milena can't wait to meet a big pirate with a high bounty right now, and then she can twist off the other person's head and go to the naval base in exchange for a large number of baileys.

Emmmm......

The crazy Milena cannot be offended.

This is also the reason why Velez ran to the deck, preferring to think about the awakening of the Devil Fruit while blowing the sea breeze, rather than counting the money in his hand with Milena.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the sea, Milena, who had spent the whole night alone in the storage room of the Warspite, came to the deck of the Warspite carrying a small box.

"Villes, what type of devil fruit is this?"

"If it's not important, we'll sell it."

For Milena now, as long as it is not the Devil Fruit that Villes values, they can all be sent to the auction house for sale.

A devil fruit costs at least [-] million beli.

Although "not much", the money for milk powder definitely adds up.

On the deck of the Warspite, Villeless looked at Milena who had become "inexplicably" obsessed with money. Although he had a headache, he couldn't help but feel amused.

Think about the labels Milena wore before...

Arrogant, sinister, venomous, cute, irritable...

Now adding the label of "money addict" doesn't feel like a big deal.

【Eh? 】

[Milena, who looks obsessed with money, is also very cute~]

【Speaking of...】

[Do all navigation geniuses in the pirate world have money-loving attributes? 】

[If this is the case, judging from the figure of a certain orange-haired little thief cat...]

[You can still look forward to Milina’s “future”~]

Smiling, she reached out and took the small box from Milena's hand, opened the box and took out the devil fruit inside.

Verless raised the Devil Fruit in his hand to his eyes, compared it with the Devil Fruit illustration in his mind, and carefully distinguished the type of Devil Fruit.

“Coat color…”

“Spiral texture…”

"Fruit stalk..."

"..."

After comparing them all, Velez reluctantly found a similar devil fruit category in the devil fruit illustrated book.

"Milena, I didn't find the exact same picture of this devil fruit in the devil fruit illustrated book."

"However, in the Devil Fruit illustrated book, there is a description of a Devil Fruit that is more than 90.00% similar to this Devil Fruit."

"If there are no surprises, this Devil Fruit should be one of the branches within the Devil Fruit category."

After throwing the Devil Fruit in his hand to Milena, Verles did not show off and directly expressed his judgment.

"Nine times out of ten, this devil fruit should be one of the branch forms of the animal **** fruit."

"As for which form it is, I can't tell."

"Of course, we can't rule out that this devil fruit is a kind of phantom beast from the animal **** fruit."

At the end, when he mentioned the "Phantom Beast Species", Villes himself couldn't help but laugh.

After all, it was just a Devil Fruit seized from a gangster's vault, so the possibility of it being a phantom beast was too small.

This sea is huge, but there aren't many animal-type Devil Fruits from the Phantom Beast species.

"It's a pity. The possibility of this Devil Fruit being an animal **** fruit is too high."

"Otherwise, if you change it to a flying animal-type Devil Fruit, you can keep this Devil Fruit and give it to your junior brother as a meeting gift when you meet Teacher Zefa."

Mentioning Zefa, Villes had to say with emotion, Zefa in this life is really the kind of winner in life!

As a little butterfly that keeps flapping its wings, Willes doesn't know whether it has any impact on the general trend of the pirate world.

But because of the appearance of Villes, Zefa, the naval admiral, was greatly affected.

The simplest situation is that Zefa, as a naval admiral, did not encounter the fucked-up situation in the OP plot, resulting in the death of his wife and children at the hands of pirates.

As of now, Zefa's wife and children are still alive and well.

However, according to the information received by Velez, Zefa's wife and children still encountered the situation in the OP plot a few years ago and almost died at the hands of pirates.

However, in this life, because of the little butterfly Veles, Zefa's wife and children had Elena, a natural-type Burning Fruit ability user, by their side when they encountered the pirates!

And then?

As Zefa's student, Sakaski's lover, and a user with the natural ability of the Burning Fruit, it is completely easy for Elena to kill those pirates and protect Zefa's wife and children.

As for when Zefa's wife and children were attacked by pirates, why was Elena present?

This…

Let’s ask Elena what she thinks!

God knows why after Elena joined the navy, not only did she not rise as quickly as Sakaski, but she gradually fell into silence.

Forget about the silence, Elena, who was transferred to a civilian position, actually became involved with the wives of Marine Fando at the Navy Headquarters.

What's even more interesting is that, with an age gap of 20 years, Elena actually became good friends with Zefa's wife.

As a result, they were almost inseparable, and since they went shopping together, shopped together, and traveled together, it made perfect sense for Elena to be present when Zefa's wife and children were attacked by pirates when they went out.

In this way, perhaps it was Elena's intention. Within the Navy, Elena gave people the impression of being more like the "nanny-type navy who relies on connections".
