The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

above the sea,

The Jackdaw Flamingo rode the wind and waves and quickly reached its destination.

"This is Dressrosa?"

Peake glanced at the huge island not far away surrounded by a large number of mushroom-shaped 'fungus rocks'.

"It's easy to defend but difficult to attack. If it's rich in resources, it's indeed a good place to use as a family base."

"Hey hey, it looks good, but -"

As the Jackdaw Flamingo approached the Dressrosa Pier under construction, Torrebol's eyes fell on the faces of Vergo and Diamanti, whom he had not seen for a while.

"You two, what kind of look are you doing?"

On the dock, because of the phone bug contact and Violet's staring fruit.There is already a group of people waiting here: the leaders are naturally Vergo and Diamanti.

It's just that Diamanti's face is covered by a golden helmet, only the sealed shape of her eyes is exposed, while Vergo has a large piece of gauze on his cheek, which doesn't look like his usual "stained ability" comedy.

"Fall...I fell down,"

From the golden helmet, Diamanti's roaring voice came.

"Being beaten,"

Virgo was not so particular and calmly told the truth.

?

"Ahem, I...I, the minister, did not grasp the right balance during the discussion with the two adults..."

Behind the two of them, Cyrus, who was bandaged under his cloak, took a step forward, with a bit of embarrassment on his serious face.

? !

"Cyrus...you have learned the art of armed domineering."

Rossi could tell at a glance that Cyrus's temperament was different from before: if before, Cyrus had the irrepressible ferocity of a beast and the iron-bloodedness of battlefield competition, now these two momentums have disappeared.

It's not that Cyrus has become weaker, but that he compressed these two auras on the surface of his body and turned them into invisible armor defense: that is, armed domineering!

"No wonder,"

Cyrus was on par with Vergo and Diamanti before, but now he has learned to be armed and domineering: Judging from the appearance of Vergo and Diamanti, he must have suffered a loss.

As for why Cyrus learned Armament Haki?

Of course it was Rossi who gave him the relevant information!

As for Cyrus's physical fitness, the only difference was in his finishing touch.

"Very good, Cyrus."

Even Dover nodded, which made Vergo and Diamanti's faces even more shameless: they couldn't understand why they had worked so hard, fought all the way from the North Sea to the Grand Line, and had seen strong winds and waves. Quite a few.

However, as soon as he entered the new world, he met Cyrus, who was no equal to him.Especially after Cyrus learned the Armed Haki, Vergo and Diamanti were caught off guard and were beaten very embarrassed.

I have to say that the New World is really a training place.

In particular, Cyrus won 3000 consecutive victories in the Arena of Dressrosa. He learned all about color without a teacher. He is simply an expert in PVP. After learning the armed color and domineering skills to make up for the last flaw, it is even more terrifying.

"Progress can only be achieved through fighting. After a while, everyone will go to the arena to fight Cyrus."

"Cyrus doesn't need to hold back: normal sparring and training will prevent our family from losing this level of courage."

"Yes,"

Cyrus nodded in agreement.

Just as Rossi said, although Cyrus had mastered the Armed Haki, he gained the upper hand in the sparring with Vergo and Diamanti, and beat the two who were caught off guard with bruises and bruises, but the two did not say anything.

They were just a little uncomfortable with Cyrus who suddenly became stronger, and it couldn't be said that they were defeated.If you are really angry, two against one Cyrus is no match!

In addition, there is a mysterious masked huntress in the Don Quixote family who defeated Cyrus in a bare-handed fight: Although the opponent's hands that suddenly turned into claws obviously used some kind of fruit ability, he lost.

Cyrus' intuition told him that even if he mastered Armament Haki, he was no match for that woman.

The other party hides his strength!

"No, you want to play in the arena again?"

After hearing Rossi's words, Torebol screamed strangely. Even Vergo had his face wrapped in gauze. Diamanti even had no face to see anyone. The others... no, let's just say Torebol was against the superior. Lu Shi, what else could be possible besides being beaten even worse?

----

bullfighting arena,

"Hey hey hey,"

"Look at how powerful my slime sea is—"

However, when the fight actually started, everyone was shocked: in the audience, a group of family cadres who liked to wear sunglasses took off their glasses and wiped them again and again, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Cyrus was suppressed by Torrepol!

The entire bullfighting arena was filled with surging mucus. Although Cyrus, who was holding a long sword, could cut it off with a wave of his hand, he was quickly covered in the endless stream of mucus.

lost!

Of course, this is based on the environmental factors of the arena: under normal circumstances, Cyrus would have jumped out of the arena and wandered to dodge.

"This···"

Diamanti, who got the 'Water of Life' from Jorah to eliminate the swelling on her face, looked down and spoke for a moment.

Seriously speaking, Torrebol's strength is definitely not as good as Diamanti's.In previous sparring matches, Diamanti would dominate Torebol and win quickly.

But now, Cyrus, who was able to beat Diamanti into a very embarrassing situation, was actually defeated?

"This is what Devil Fruits do, and the issue of compatibility between two people."

Rosie opened her mouth to explain,

"Although Cyrus has mastered Armament Haki, his fighting methods are basically close combat, and his swordsmanship is mainly about fierce slashing."

This is the disadvantage of Yeluzi's birth. Flying Slash is a skill that a swordsman with a bounty of about 5000 million can master. Cyrus, who can even defeat Diamanti, actually doesn't master it!

"This is the shortcoming of Cyrus. He does not have a large-scale attack method. Moreover, at the beginning, the cautious Cyrus did not launch a direct attack, giving Torrebol time to release the slime."

If we fight again, Torrebol will definitely lose.

With all kinds of strange Devil Fruit abilities, it's easy to do things like 'kill at first sight'.

But if the fruit's ability is discovered, its power will be greatly reduced immediately.

"So domineering and physical strength are the foundation. In many cases, 'power can work miracles'. If it weren't for the rules of the arena that prevented Cyrus from escaping, with his excellent two-color domineering, he wouldn't have been able to lose to Torebol so easily. .”

"Hey hey hey, no matter what, I won."

Torrebol, who returned victoriously, approached Vergo and Diamanti:

"The powerful enemy who beat you up was easily defeated by me. Are you angry, are you angry?"

So angry...

Snapped,

"Since you are so relaxed, let's have a spar."

When Diamanti rolled his eyes wildly, Vergo had already stood up, grabbed Torebol's shoulders, and clasped his fingers on his collarbone.

"Choosing the day is worse than hitting the sun, let's do it now."

? !

"No--"

The complacent Torebol was dragged down by Vergo to "play the second game", which would definitely end with a bruised nose and a swollen face.Rossi shrugged this and ignored their 'reunion and intimacy', but left the arena with Pika and Jorah.

----

"Here it is,"

In addition to the urban area located in the center of the island, Dressrosa actually also has a large area of ​​wasteland: these wastelands are covered with a variety of flowers: honey, perfume... these things are the outlet of Dressrosa 's flagship product'.

On the coast near the north of the island, several people stopped.

"Dr. Tisdeno, what you want is on its way. Let's set up the research laboratory first."

As Rossi handed the design drawing to the tall Pika, Pika nodded sharply after looking at it.

"give it to me,"

I saw the tall and burly Pika squatting down and placing his hands on the ground.

"Shishi High-Tech Research Laboratory!"

bang bang bang ~~

As Pika activated the power of the Stone Fruit, the earth rumbled and trembled, and the earth and rocks began to rise.

Rocks pierce the ground and are shaped like plasticine into various shapes: corridors, columns, walls, ceilings, and towers that look like spears piercing the sky.

In front of a few people, a rock castle covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters rose from the ground!In just a few minutes, the fort walls and towering fortress appeared in front of everyone.

"Next is me,"

Jorah took out a paintbrush, and as he swung it, dots of light fell from the tip of the pen, aiming at the rock fortress in front of him.

"I'm going to paint you with color—"

“Black symbolizes mystery and tranquility, white symbolizes purity and light;

Red symbolizes passion and warmth, yellow symbolizes clarity and nobility;

Green symbolizes life and youth, blue symbolizes profoundness and reason..."

As Jorah's brush flew across the sky, streaks of color appeared on the huge fortress, and soon the rocky fortress was transformed into a brightly colored fairy tale castle.

After being blessed by the 'Art Fruit' ability, people living in this castle will gain buffs such as 'Positive Mentality', 'Quick Thinking', 'Strong Body'... etc.

This kind of subtle blessing with little obvious effect is of course of no use to strong men like Rossi, but it is very necessary for scientific researchers with average physiques like Dr. Tisdeno.

Unless the doctor one day realizes the truth of "flesh and blood are weak, machinery ascends" and completely transforms himself into a technological creation, then he does not need the blessing of this fruit.

"Okay, the research room is already there, and the next step is various instruments and materials."

Rossi led a few people into this building created by ability users, and then took out a pocket:

"Pockets, pockets, spit things out."

As Rossi recited the spell, a large number of research instruments, test tube platforms, and various sample liquids came out of his pocket...

Bang bang, bang bang,

"Is this the venom of the deputy director of Impel Down City and related research materials?"

The tall armored robot stepped forward and casually scanned the research instruments, then picked up a document on the table and looked at it.

"Well, Devil Fruit is synonymous with unscientific: so many different types of venom, even with conflicting properties, can actually be produced from the same person's body..."

"The artificial Devil Fruit and the repair of Devilsaur need to wait for various materials,"

After releasing the venom brought from Impel City, as well as the instruments and data from the entire laboratory, Rossi looked at the doctor.

"Then let's start with 'improving poison resistance of family members' as a recent project, Dr. Tiesdeno. If you need anything, just ask."

"At the same time, one of the world's top 'famous doctors' will come to us recently, and he...or she and the doctor will work together to formulate a 'poison resistance training' plan for the family's cadres."

"no problem,"

Theoretically speaking, it is very troublesome to make people resistant to poison, but the physiques of Rossi and others cannot withstand it. Compared with ordinary people, they are two kinds of creatures: the ability to lift battleships, supersonic speed, and facial expressions. The hair style is not messy when receiving cannonballs...

Ordinary people burst into tears when they saw it and called it a monster!

With their physical fitness and scientific exercise methods, they will definitely have a certain degree of resistance to various toxins.
