Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

After the boss's wife roughly told the information, Hughes fell into deep thought.

""Devil Sheriff" Lafitte..."

No wonder Ed showed such gloomy and hateful eyes when he talked about the three demons of the West Sea.

"Give you."

The landlady suddenly handed over a piece of paper.

Hughes took it and took a look and found that it was a recent reward warrant.

"The crazy Ed has a bounty of 3100 million Baileys..."

Hughes stared at the string of bounty amounts, his eyes slightly absent-minded.

Before he and Ed broke up, the bounty for the pirates they hunted was only a few million.

Just over two years later, Ed himself became a big pirate with a bounty of over 3000 million.

Putting aside those evil elements, Ed's strength has definitely improved tremendously.

Although his strength grows faster, he has a golden finger.

Ed's own talent is not outstanding, but he has reached this level in just two years. The hardships are unimaginable.

The landlady seemed to know what Hughes was thinking, and she said softly:

"Strong faith can create miracles, and hatred is one of them!"

Hughes was noncommittal, raised his head and said, "I want to know Lafitte's specific abilities and strength."

The landlady shook her head slightly.

"Sorry, I don't know much about Lafitte. There are too few scenes of him fighting seriously."

"I only know that he is a flying animal type user with strong swordsmanship and proficiency in hypnosis."

Hughes was a little disappointed, then remembered something and asked:

"What information did Ed buy from you before?"

After saying this, the landlady showed hesitation.

"This... is the customer's privacy, I'm very embarrassed..."

What a embarrassment!

Hughes cursed angrily in his heart, why are you, an intelligence chief, talking about privacy?

And it’s only been a few days and you’ve forgotten about Bennett?

If someone buys their information well, you can turn around and sell it completely!

Even pretending to be confused in front of a client...

You bad woman, you are so shameless!

Hughes didn't waste any time and took out an extra stack of Pele and put it on the table.

Anyway, he borrowed all the money from the rows of pirate ships in the port, and he didn't feel bad about spending it.

Seeing that he was so sincere, the boss's wife finally relented: "Since you care so much about your friends, I will reveal a little bit."

"Ed asked me two questions." She raised a finger: "The first one is, what is the ability of the Devil Fruit that is about to be auctioned."

Houston was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know what kind of fruit that is?"

The auctioneer did not give a specific name for the Devil Fruit, but only attached a picture.

Except for a few specific fruits, he couldn't recognize the others.

Hughes was waiting for an answer when he saw the landlady looking at him with a smile.

Hey!

Hughes took out another stack of Baileys and threw it on the table, while saying unhappily:

"Don't go too far, you've already cost me a lot of money before!"

The treasures he borrowed from the pirate ships in the port were all exchanged for Baileys here.

And this woman actually took [-]% of his handling fee!

Black, really black!

The landlady took Bailey from the table and said with a smile:

"I'm not targeting you, that's the rule. After all, helping you people sell stolen goods is taking a lot of risks."

Hughes secretly spat, his fear of this woman deepening.

In addition to selling information, this bar is also a secret place for selling stolen goods.

No matter what the origin or the specifications, it will accept everything you order.

This proves once again that the organization behind this woman is definitely not a big deal!

"Can you tell me the answer?"

The proprietress explained: "The devil fruit to be auctioned is called the 'Chain Fruit'."

"On the sea, there are many fruit abilities that have side effects, and the Chain Fruit is one of them."

"If you want to use the power after eating the Chain Fruit, you must first make a wound in your body before you can shoot the chains from your body."

"Every time you shoot a chain, you have to hurt yourself once. The chain fruit is a veritable fruit of self-abuse."

"The last ability user died due to excessive blood loss in the battle!"

"Maybe the side effects are a bit serious. The auctioneer is worried that the bidding price will not rise, so they didn't disclose the name and ability."

Hughes frowned slightly when he heard this. This fruit looks a bit familiar. Has it appeared in the original work?

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and then heard the landlady say:

"Although the side effects are serious, the strength of the chains shot at the cost of hurting yourself is also very powerful!"

"And..." The landlady hesitated to speak.

"And what?"

Hughes looked at her unhappily, wondering if he would be punished by God if he said anything half-heartedly!

"Forget it, let me tell you, this is information that even the intelligence agencies behind me don't know!"

The landlady looked like "I'm only telling you because I know you so well".

"Do you know about fruit awakening?"

"Fruit Awakening?!"

Hughes was a little confused, as if he heard what equipment the level 10 dungeon BOSS would drop in the level 80 novice village.

He reacted, took a deep look at the landlady, and responded: "I know a little bit."

"You know?" The landlady was a little surprised.

"I'm getting more and more curious about you, Brother Hughes."

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business."

It's not a good thing to be stared at by a woman who doesn't know the depth at all!

"A user with chain fruit abilities will gain an ability after awakening.

He can release an invisible chain that connects his enemies to himself. "

"After the connection, whatever damage the esper receives will also cause the other party to suffer damage."

"If the person with the ability dies, the opponent will be dragged to death no matter what state he is in or how strong he is!"

Hughes blurted out in surprise: "Death together?"

"Yes, we will die together." The landlady affirmed.

"Tsk tsk...it is indeed the fruit of self-abuse!"

Even if this fruit was given to him for free, he wouldn't eat it!

Hughes then remembered something and asked, "Ed asked two questions, what about the other one?"

The landlady responded: "He asked Lafitte if he had landed in the Moro Islands."

"Is Lafitte here?" Hughes said a little solemnly.

"Come here. I landed alone on Island No. 4 yesterday. I have been staying in a small courtyard and haven't gone out. I must be waiting for the auction to be held."

"Island No. 4..."

He is now on Island 1, and the auction is held on Island 0, the center island.

Hughes couldn't help but ask: "I would like to ask, how did you get this kind of information?"

This woman's intelligence ability is a bit scary, as if she is monitoring the whole process, and you haven't noticed it at all.

The proprietress smiled without saying a word.

"Farewell."

He basically understood everything he wanted to know, and he didn't want to stay in this damn place for a second longer.

bang~

The door clicked and the room fell into silence.

The landlady sat quietly on the sofa, feeling a little uneasy inside.

She was trying to remember what a huge tree looked like.

The information about the awakening of the Chain Fruit was something she accidentally saw in the giant tree when she was a child.

It's a pity that the tree was burned up in the flames!

Thinking of that tree...

She thought again of the dark-skinned monster little girl deep in her memory.

The little girl she once threw a stone at...

That little girl who was so smart that she was a little jealous.

tata tao~

The landlady suddenly stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a stack of materials from a hidden corner.

Then I sat down on the sofa and started reading page by page.

She wanted to analyze something from it, but unfortunately she couldn't.

"Nicole Robin..."

"I haven't heard from you in eight months."

"You shouldn't have entered the Grand Line..."

The murmur gradually disappeared, and the room fell into silence again.
