The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"woohoo~~"

"Hahaha, Grand Line!"

Another pirate ship jumped over the Upside Down Mountain and rushed down the diagonal canal into the Grand Line.

I have to say that this is definitely the golden age for pirates: "One Piece" Roger's words started the great pirate era.The navy's strength was dragged down in the new world by those legendary pirates at their peak, and they had no time to take care of themselves.

Even the 'Nightmare' that was once the entrance to the Grand Route and the 'Island Whale' that kept hitting the Red Continent have become more at ease, allowing a large number of pirates to easily flow into the Grand Route.

"Hahaha, successfully passed the Twin Gorges!!"

The captain wearing a three-cornered hat laughed and slowly stopped the ship at the entrance of this great route, and shouted:

"Carmon, Carmon!"

"Captain...Didn't Carmon stay on the Rare Beast Island?"

···

"Yeah, that idiot."

The pirate captain slapped his forehead and laughed.

"I actually thought there were treasures hidden in those treasure chests on the top of the mountain... We had taken them away a long time ago. Fortunately, he was still hiding quietly."

However, in fact, his subordinate named 'Carmon' was originally going to open the treasure box on the top of the mountain, but accidentally fell down and got stuck in the treasure box, becoming a poor man like a 'mimic monster'.

Because he was stuck, he couldn't climb to the top of the mountain and could only look at the out-of-reach 'treasure' day after day.

"Since Carmon is not here, you-"

The pirate captain pointed at the guy who just spoke,

"Go to the lighthouse and ask the uncle basking in the sun for information."

???

"Okay...Okay,"

The pirate with a bitter look on his face had to put down the rope, row the lifeboat to the shore alone, and then go to get information from the uncle who was lying on the sun lounger under the lighthouse, wearing a hat, and a circle of hair at the back like blooming flowers. .

At first, the pirates seemed to be suffering from an occupational disease and were trying to 'intimidate' them.

Soon, in the eyes of other people on the pirate ship, the companions sent out neatly knelt down to 'listen' to each other's teachings.

···

"What did that person say?"

When the bruised and swollen pirate returned to the ship, the pirate captain immediately turned the rudder and walked away while asking his men.

"He said that if you want to plunder, go to the 'Whiskey Island' route; if you want to do business, go to the 'Fighting Beast Island' route."

The pirate covered his face and repeated the grumpy uncle's words to the captain.

"Is that so?"

The pirate captain wiped his sleek beard and finally made his decision:

"Let's take the route of 'Fighting Beast Island'!"

If what the guy guarding the lighthouse said is true, then the route to Dou Beast Island should be the safest route; what if what he said is false?That also shows that this route is occupied by pirates.

In this way, no matter how you think about it, it doesn’t hurt!

Unfortunately, just when this 'smart' pirate captain was preparing for a big fight, he didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.

----

"Lord Arnock!"

On Dou Beast Island, a group of people respectfully saluted the old fisherman who stepped off the boat.

"I will guard this place during this period."

"Yes, please sir."

News came from the family headquarters in the New World, calling for mid-level cadres from various islands to go to Dressrosa. On the surface, it was to test their strength and report on their work in the past year. In fact:

It's because the family recently obtained a 'batch' of Devil Fruits and is preparing to decide who owns the fruits through competition.

After hearing the news, the middle-level cadres under the Don Quixote family who thought they had a lot of skills were all gearing up and gathered in the Capital of Seven Waters, preparing to defeat others and gain recognition from the family.

That's a devil fruit!

When it comes to 1 million beli, these middle-level cadres can get it from their relatives and friends, but there is no place to buy devil fruits.

Most people who get the fruit choose to eat it immediately.

After all, wandering around with a secret treasure worth hundreds of millions is more dangerous than a child walking through a busy city with a lot of gold; it is better to eat it yourself and turn it into combat power.

As long as the fruit's ability is not too auxiliary and the eater doesn't work hard, he can basically become a 'human master' immediately.

Therefore, in this world, Devil Fruits are basically priceless and have no market. If you really want to sell them, you will have to start with hundreds of millions.

And those who dare to sell devil fruits are usually powerful forces: if you really buy them with money, it is common for both people and their money to be swallowed, let alone the fact that you haven't bought the fruit.

Of course, if you have the ability, you can also try to grab it: this is what Gilder Tezzolo, the 'Golden Emperor' in the original timeline, did.

Because a large amount of combat power left, 'Bald Sea Monster' Anok personally went to the starting point of this route, 'Beast Fighting Island', to take up residence.

With him here, not to mention ordinary pirates, even the 'supernovas' 20 years from now would be beaten to a pulp.

Unlike Devil Fruit eaters who can find ways to restrain themselves and find loopholes in their abilities, Anok's dual-color domineering skills are superb, and his body is as tempered as steel. A giant harpoon in his hand can knock over large sea kings, and stab pirates to death with ease.

"Everything remains as usual. If you encounter a strong enemy, contact me immediately."

After explaining, the old fisherman turned around and jumped into the sea, ready to find some sea kings to "stretch his muscles."The clerks and low-level cadres in charge of Dou Beast Island were amazed.

It's so reassuring to have this adult here!

----

capital of seven waters,

The back room of Tom's studio.

"I also need to go!"

Frame, a half-grown boy, pointed at the large 'robot' behind him in protest.

"I've already inquired about it. Weapons and technological creations can be used. Why can't I see them?"

"you···"

The mature iceberg rubbed his temples,

"This is an internal competition within the 'Don Quixote Family', and the prize is also a 'welfare' for the family. Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Also, about the fact that the prize is a 'Devil Fruit', did Gladius tell you?"

"Run to attend this competition. Are you sure you want to join the Don Quixote family?"

···

"Then why can old...Mr. Tom go?"

This is the reason why Frame is clamoring to go: Although he has a bold personality and likes artillery and machinery, the most important thing in his mind is Mr. Tom, the fish-man shipwright who adopted him.

Despite the usual quarrels with Tom, he couldn't sit still when Tom wanted to leave.

"Tahahaha, whatever a man wants to do, just do it with a bang!"

The tall fishman shipwright Mr. Tom opened the door and walked in. With the creation of a large number of sea trains and the protection of the Don Quixote family, the crisis in the Seven Waters City was naturally eliminated.

Although Mr. Tom doesn't care about other people's reputation,

But he is still very affectionate for this city where he has studied and lived for half his life.

Tom also had a teacher. When he took over the 'Pluto Design' from his teacher, he had already established a deep bond with this city.

"The Don Quixote family wants me to go to the New World and build a sea train. This kind of ship that can move quickly between islands is a tool for ordinary people to see the world."

Normal boat travel requires courage, strength, and luck when facing strong winds and waves, otherwise it will easily end up going to the bottom of the sea to feed fish.

In comparison, the safety factor of sea trains is much higher.

"If Frame wants to go, come with us."

"Mr. Tom, you indulge him too much..."

"Tahahaha~~"

Facing his disciple Bingshan's words, the fish-man shipwright just laughed, fully explaining what it meant to be "broad-hearted and fat-bodied".

Soon, a large number of 'experts' gathered in the Seven Rivers City. Because of the sea train project, the city had a very good impression of the Don Quixote family. Coupled with the regulation of Gilder Tezzolo, there was no trouble. What a mess.

And when the 'masters' from the six islands gathered together, they took a boat and set off for the Navy Headquarters——

If you are an ordinary pirate, you can only take the dangerous "Mishman Island" route.

But as subordinates of the 'Shichibukai', they can pass directly from the Red Earth Continent.Whether it is security or speed, they are all different.

----

After a few days,

In front of the 'Red Harbor' behind the Navy Headquarters, a ship flying the Double Dragon flag slowly docked.

"Here we go, everyone."

The leader is Gilder Tezzolo, a sunny and handsome man with short gray-green hair and a suit.

If it hadn't been for Rosie, he and his lover would have been captured in Mariejoia, the holy land at the top of the red earth, and then used as slaves until they were tortured to death!

"Please be careful with your words and actions, we represent the Don Quixote family."

"——If anyone brings shame to the family, the adults will not care about it, and I will never spare him!"

···

Everyone who got off the boat was silent. On the one hand: Tezzolo, as the clerk in charge of the development of the six islands, has the same status as 'Bald' Anok among the many cadres.

On the other hand, they know that Tezzolo and his wife were bought back from the slave market by Rosinandi. It can be said that they are a true reincarnation of grace and their loyalty is impeccable!

"Don't be nervous,"

At this moment, a voice came, making Tezzolo turn around in surprise.

"Mr Rosinandy?"

On the shore, I don't know when there was a figure wearing a black feather coat standing, with blond hair, a gentle face, and the third generation of Onei Tetsu on his waist.

——Who else is it if it’s not Rosie?

"Your Excellency Rocinante,"

"Mr. Rosinandee..."

"Um,"

Rossi nodded to a group of middle-level family cadres who immediately saluted him and greeted him. In addition to Tezzolo, there were also Mr. Tom, Frame, and many pirate captains and battle captains who had been impressed.

"Let's go,"

The reason why Rossi is here is to prevent accidents from happening.

After all, Tezoro was once a 'slave' of the Draco, and Tom was still a fish-man. If that crazy Draco jumped out to cause trouble, it's unlikely that all the middle-level cadres of the Don Quixote family would be trapped here.

Forget it for others, but Tezzolo and Tom are top talents in finance and shipbuilding, so Rossi went there personally.

If any Tianlong person dares to come out and ask for a slap in the face, then Rossi will grant it to him:

Unlike others, Rossi's fight against the Celestial Dragons could only be considered an 'internal dispute', so the navy naturally watched the show with a smile.

Unless the mysterious Im takes action, even if there is a general-level combat power in CP, it is impossible to easily defeat Rossi.

"Mr. Rossinandi, the bubble cable car is ready."

Major General Tianzheng walked over. Rossi nodded and led a group of people behind him towards the cable car.

"Who are those people?"

"It's Rocinante from the Shichibukai 'Don Quixote Brothers',"

"Tsk, such a huge team swaggered through the Red Earth Continent, and there were even fishmen..."

"Haha, if you have the ability to clean up all pirates in a route, you can also enjoy such majesty."

"...Forget it, I don't have this strength."

While a group of navy and kingdom people were whispering, a middle-aged gentleman on the second floor of the nearby tavern put down the black tea in his hand.

He was wearing a plum-red shirt, blood-red trousers, and a large blood-red cape with a blue rose on the collar, which was both gorgeous and evil.

Her black hair is braided into two braids and hangs down on her shoulders. Her eyebrows are red, and a gold chain hangs from her lips to her left ear. There is always a faintly evil smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"Rosinetti of Don Quixote..."

The middle-aged gentleman stood up and picked up the purple umbrella with a slender bat handle named 'Quiet Garden' that was placed next to the table.

"Let's go, Pa Dong."

"楸~~"

Next to him, a tanuki wearing pink clothes immediately climbed up his trouser legs, quickly landed on his shoulders, and then quickly transformed into a pen.

Putting this pen into his chest pocket, the evil middle-aged man disappeared into the air in a flash!

It's not some fruit ability, but simply extremely fast speed.

In front of his ghostly speed, not to mention ordinary people, not even the admiral could notice anyone passing in front of him.Only an elite lieutenant general can barely see a hint of purple.

In this era, one person is like a lone ranger of the Four Emperors——

Red Earl:

Barloric Redfield!
