The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

On the Jackdaw Flamingo,

"It's been a long time since the family members acted together, right?"

Standing on the deck, Virgo, who looked like a 'tough guy', suddenly felt emotional.

As he grew older, he became taller and more muscular.Wearing a white plaid coat and sunglasses.With short black hair and lightning-shaped sideburns on both sides of his face, he already looks like a mature man.

"There's nothing we can do about it,"

Walking to Vergo's side, Rossi looked at the huge 'forest' ahead.

"Now the family's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and manpower is needed in many places: after we establish a base in the New World, we can bring everyone to the New World."

On Beast Fighting Island, 'Bald' Anok and Tezzolo were left in command, both civil and military. In Rossi's view, the loyalty of both of them was trustworthy.

After all, Anoke cares about Tani, and Tezzolo can sacrifice everything for Stella.

This determines that they will not betray the Don Quixote family easily.

The 'Food Island' and 'Carnival Island' at the back also had personnel stationed there. They were all masters who had mastered the basic level of domineering and had a strength of about [-] million. Rossi did not believe that there were so many 'supernovas' coming to cause trouble for his family.

Torrebol led Pika, Jorah, and Pique to sit in the Capital of Seven Waters to protect Tom and Dr. Tisdeno as they built the sea train.

The remaining Rossi, Dover, Vergo, Diamanti, and the Gladius siblings were all on board the Jackdaw Flamingo.

"Well, next we will go to Fishman Island with front coating."

Oni, who had her mask hanging sideways on the left side of her face, pointed at the 'forest' on the horizon in front of everyone.

In addition to Rossi and others, there are also Oni and her sister 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani on the ship, one as a combatant and the other as a 'navigator'.

The 'forest' ahead is naturally:

Chambord Islands.

Although it is called an island, it is actually a group of mangroves, with a total of 79. Each tree is equivalent to a small town. Because of Roger's words, plus this is the only way to the new world and Fish-Man Island. .so:

"Lawlessness,"

As the Jackdaw Flamingo slowly approached, the warship surrounded by three pirate ships appeared in front of everyone.

"Obviously this is so close to the Navy Headquarters..."

Faced with Gladius' doubts, Rossi explained to him casually:

"First, the Shampoo Islands are composed of 79 mangroves. The town on the ground, the 'tree roots' below the town, and the 'canopy' above the town can easily hide people."

"With the complex environment and the fact that there are new faces every year, the navy is not very effective at suppressing them."

"Secondly, of course it's because most of the forces here are inextricably related to the Tianlong people."

It was clearly three against one, but the pirate ship was at a disadvantage.Seeing that he was about to be defeated, the captain of a pirate ship suddenly shouted:

"Navy, listen up, this is the goods of Saint Rozwald!"

"Can you afford the responsibility for damaging that gentleman's property——"

? !

The warship that was spitting out gunfire paused for a moment, and the attack intensity instantly dropped by several levels.

This is why a place like Shampoo, which is adjacent to the Navy Headquarters, has become a sinful place where careerists and slave traders are rampant. The "protection" of the Tianlong people is a big reason.

"Oh, Tianlong people."

Just when the navy's attack intensity was reduced and the pirate captain breathed a sigh of relief, a sneer suddenly came from behind.

"Who?!"

"Who dares to look down on the descendants of the Creator and doesn't want to live——"

The pirate captain turned around, his yell stuck in his throat, and his bulging eyes looked at the ship behind him.

The bow of a flamingo wearing red sunglasses has black wings on both sides of the ship, and the double dragon flag on the mast is flapping in the sea breeze.

These are not the most important, the most important thing is the two slender figures on the deck!

He wears a black feather coat, white casual clothes, a long knife hanging on his waist, and a gentle and handsome face under his blond hair.

Wearing a pink feather coat, a crisp black suit, red sunglasses under short blond hair, and a faintly evil smile on his lips.

???

"The Don Quixote family?!"

"The Black King and the Red King..."

As he murmured these two words almost in a groaning voice, the pirate captain had only one thought in his mind.

Ruined!

Others are afraid of the Celestial Dragons, but the Don Quixote family dares to hijack the 'Heavenly Gold' and force the World Government to give them the title of 'Shichibukai'.

How could such a madman care about the majesty of the 'Celestial Dragon'?

"Fufufu, if you offend the Tianlong people, you are indeed worthy of death."

?

The already desperate pirate captain was stunned. Just as a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, a red line suddenly appeared in the world in his sight, and then began to tilt and collapse.

why···

At the end of his life, he couldn't understand why the 'Red King' of the Quixote family had said such words, yet he still wanted to kill him.

Puff, puff, puff——

Dover just hooked his finger, and the sound of tearing flesh and blood was heard, and the battlefield that had been filled with loud killings just now became silent for an instant.

On the three pirate ships, only the flesh and blood that fell all over the decks were left.The pirates were easily torn into pieces, causing the marines on the nearby warships to tremble and tighten their weapons.

"Don... Don Quixote..."

"I'll leave it to you to clean the deck,"

Facing the fearful and frightened naval colonel who forced himself to ask questions, Rossi waved his hand.

"These three boats are our trophies. Remember to give them to the people in our family later."

"what?"

"okay···"

When the naval captain subconsciously agreed, the Jackdaw Flamingo had already passed through this quiet battlefield and headed towards Tree Island No. 50.

Tree islands No. 50 to 59 are where the Shampoo shipyard and coating craftsmen gather.

If you want to enter the second half of the Grand Line: the New World, you must coat the ship here, dive into the [-]-meter-deep sea, and pass through the red earth continent from the hollow where the Fish-Man Island is.

Although Rayleigh should have started to work as a 'coating craftsman' in Xia Qi's blackmail bar on Tree Island No. 13, Rossi did not try to seduce the legendary pirate.

The captain had just died, he was in his prime, and his temper was probably not very good.

If you don't make sense, wouldn't it be unjust to be beaten?

Although Rossi is confident in his own strength, he also knows that there is still a gap between him and those truly top players.

and so:

After recruiting the best coating craftsmen from Tree Island No. 50 to coat the Jackdaw Flamingo, the Don Quixote family lowered the rudder and quietly dived into the vast sea.

----

"Wow, this is the ocean."

Not to mention the fact that the younger Gladius was surprised, even Rossi, Dover, and Virgo, who had always been calm and composed, all looked up.

"We are about to enter the 'twilight layer'. I really admire the first captain to do deep sea diving."

This situation made Rossi squint his eyes and sigh.

The 'Jackdaw Flamingo' shrouded in a huge 'bubble' is continuously descending into the deep sea.Surrounded by various large and small sea fish, sea beasts, sea kings, and 'island whales' several hundred meters long slowly swam by.

In this quiet deep sea, the 'Jackdaw Flamingo' is like a small ordinary fish, made even smaller by various giant beasts. It is definitely a nightmare for those with macrophobia.

"Although the 'membrane' around the hull will not be broken easily, you must be careful of being attacked by the Sea Kings."

As an ability user, diving deep into the sea is simply risking your life.No, even if you are not a person with abilities, you are risking your life in this deep sea!

The reason why Rossi dared to stand here was not because he could ignore the sea, but because he believed in other people.

"Once the 'membrane' is damaged, Diamanti——"

"Uh-huh, leave it to me then!"

Diamanti, covered in golden armor, raised her thumbs, revealing a row of shining teeth.

Although his long face has nothing to do with handsomeness, he has proven his reliability with actions along the way.

golden fruit,

In order to maximize his abilities, all the gold obtained by the Don Quixote family was given to him to train his fruit abilities: in addition to the blinding gold suit on his body, there was also a lot of gold stored in the ship's warehouse. gold.

If an accident does occur, Diamanti will make the gold into a 'submarine' and take everyone to escape to heaven.

At the same time, Vergo, Gladius, Baini Sarna, and Oni are not ability users, and they still have certain combat effectiveness even if they fall into the water.

On the contrary, if Rossi and Dover, the strongest members of the family, and Tani, who had just joined, really encountered an accident in the deep sea, not only would they be helpless in fighting, but they would probably have to be rescued by others.

"Fufufu, my life and Rosie's life will be left to you——"

Facing Dover's words, Vergo's muscles bulged, and he tore his coat into pieces with a domineering sound.

"I am not as domineering as Garp."

"No matter what enemy he is, I can beat him to a pulp!"

Vergo's words made Rossi roll his eyes habitually.

"You haven't seen Garp yet, hey,"

"If something unexpected happens, Oni will take care of your sister."

Rossi's words made the green-haired cunning girl with the mask tilted on her head nod vigorously.

"no problem,"

But Tani, who was wearing a white mask and folding her arms, said nothing: Even if she was a 'white dragon', she would be useless in this deep sea.

While everyone was chatting, the 'Jackdaw Flamingo' had descended into the deep sea where the sunlight disappeared, and the surrounding area turned into darkness, with huge sea beasts constantly circling around with malicious intent.

"Virgo, I leave it to you."

Vergo, who shattered his coat with his domineering force, turned around coldly, stepped forward, and rushed out like a cannonball, passing through the 'bubble' surrounding the Jackdaw Flamingo with a sound.

Only small-sized objects passing through the bubble will not damage this membrane.

Anyway, in Rossi's view, this kind of thin film that can resist [-] meters of sea pressure is already very unscientific, and it is normal to have any unscientific properties.

At this moment, the Jackdaw Flamingo swayed slightly.

In the sea water outside, Virgo, who was full of muscular lines, just as he said, beat the vicious sea kings around tens or hundreds of meters into a pulp!

It stirred up the deep sea and caused the Jackdaw Flamingo to rise and fall.

"Brother Vergo is so awesome,"

Gladius looked at the battle outside with envy... No, Vergo, who was violently torturing the sea kings, although his strength was pretty good, he was no better at dealing with these sea kings that were over [-] meters above sea level.

Vergo in the deep sea easily beat a group of Neptunes into corpses, then pulled a small Neptune with a head full of bruises and hung the two chains in front of the 'Jackdaw Flamingo' on the Neptune's body. body.

Capturing Neptune species as 'coolies' for pulling boats is a common method used by many masters.

"Fufufu, it's a pity that we can never touch the sea water."

Dover, who put his hands in his pockets, looked outside the bubble, easily defeated many sea kings, and then caught a small sea king to pull the boat. Vergo, a trace of envy flashed under his red sunglasses.

Of course, just for a moment.

"Everything is gained and something is lost,"

Next to him, Rossi shrugged.

"Essence users can easily develop combat effectiveness in the early stages, but domineering power can only be slowly revealed in the later stages."

"When we first arrived in Beihai, you couldn't beat Vergo. - As soon as he ate the 'Thread Fruit', he immediately became the family's number one fighting force."

"But now, the family's number one fighting force is you."

Dover raised his hands in front of him, recalling the sparring session on Beast Fighting Island.

"The advantage of fruit ability in the face of domineering will become smaller and smaller——"

"Don't panic, there is 'awakening' on top of the fruit."

Rossi comforted him that once awakened, the fruit's ability would immediately enable large-scale assimilation.This ability is very powerful, equivalent to an absolute home battle.

"But...how to wake up, Rosie, do you have any idea?"

Faced with Dover's question, Rossi spread his hands.

"how could I know?"

"I still want to wait for you to develop awakening and then tell me the secret!"

···

Fufufu,

Do you really believe that I will be able to awaken?

Dover pushed up his red sunglasses and looked at Virgo, who tied the little sea king to the front of the Jackdaw Flamingo, walked through the bubbles in the water, and leaped back to the deck. Dover spoke in a brisk tone.

"No problem, I'll tell you when I 'awaken'."
