The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

Dressrosa,

"Be careful and hang up the colorful flags..."

"Put more balloons over there--"

The entire city was plunged into a sea of ​​celebration, as men set up ladders and hung strips of colorful flags across the streets.The women placed flowers and hung balloons... while giving the extra balloons to the eager-looking children next to them.

The annual Harvest Festival is coming soon. This year, the whole country has rare good weather, and not even a pirate can be seen: this is a matter of course. Anyone who dares to approach this sea area will be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. .

At the same time, another big thing is going to happen:

"They are all protected by the royal family of Don Quixote~~"

"Yes, yes, Minister Riku is also very kind..."

What ordinary people want is just a stable life, without separation between life and death, and without bloodshed; although it may be a bit boring, this is what most people want.

As for those who dare to pursue their dreams and embark on the path of killing:

"I'm coming!!"

Near the edge of the city, someone ran over and shouted.

"The royal family's cadres scattered on other islands have arrived at the dock, and Mr. Rosinandi is personally leading the team!"

? !

"Quick, quick, let's go to the pier too~~"

The crowd who were preparing for the celebration immediately rushed towards the pier, asking the girl in the alley next to her to close one eye.

"It seems that people have become accustomed to the rule of the Don Quixote family,"

"Feel sorry,"

Next to the girl, the statue-like Cyrus answered dryly.

"What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault. And -"

The girl turned around playfully and stretched out her hand to the tall man behind her.

"Lord Cyrus, can you please go with me to the dock to interview 'cadres of the Don Quixote family'?"

"It's my pleasure, Miss Scarlet."

The young man and woman walked out of the alley hand in hand, mixed in with the crowd, and headed towards the pier.

Along the way, people who saw them wanted to say hello, but after seeing the hands held together, they all turned their heads with smiles and pulled away the naughty children who wanted to disturb them.

----

"Rosinandi~?7?9"

"Lord Rosinandi! Look at me~~"

"Lord Rosinandi, I want to have a monkey with you——"

On the pier, Rosie, who had just gotten off the boat, was immediately warmly welcomed. A large number of beautiful women cheered, blew kisses, and even flower petals and handkerchiefs flew away like rain, which made the leader Rosie's face look a bit stiff.

"Cough, let's go."

With Rossi taking the lead, he was followed by the talented Gilder Tezzolo, the tall fish-man shipwright Mr. Tom, and Frame, who was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks and a beach suit.

Then there are the middle-level cadres of each island: tall, short, fat and thin, with knives and guns on their backs. They are all muscular. Everyone exudes the aura of a 'strong man', which makes the residents of Dressrosa feel relaxed and happy.

The stronger the Don Quixote family is, the more stable their lives will be.

"Come on!!"

"Let everyone see your heroic appearance!"

The noise from thousands of people roared into a loud torrent that shook the docks of Dressrosa.It even spreads far to the sea and among the mountains, bringing with it a long-lasting billowing echo.

With such enthusiastic cheers, even these 'masters' were more or less infected by the atmosphere, and their faces became rosy.

"Dressrosa is known as the country of 'love and passion', and it deserves its reputation."

Among the team, there was an indistinguishably handsome androgynous 'beautiful girl' Pete with long blond hair. With a gentle smile full of sunshine on his face, he waved to the cheering people and chatted casually with his colleagues next to him.

"But the excessive persistence of love also creates strong jealousy in women. As long as they are betrayed by a man, they will commit horrific acts of assassinating him."

Next to 'Beautiful Girl' Pete, she was four meters tall, with dark skin wrapped with steel-like muscles.A black and white beard, and a left hand with missing index and middle fingers.

'Eight-fingered' Oba,

The two of them were once cadres of the White Dragon Pirates, and later joined the Don Quixote family together. Because of their previous experiences, their relationship was better than the others.

Of course, it's only a little better.

"Haha, a woman's betrayal..."

After hearing Oppa's serious answer, the neutral 'beautiful girl' Pete, who had long blond hair, twitched the corners of his mouth and looked up at the sky.

"Do you care?"

···

"Let's not talk about it. I heard that the reward for this competition is the 'Devil Fruit'."

"It is indeed a very attractive reward,"

'Eight Finger' Oppa nodded, even for cadres like them, it is not easy to possess a Devil Fruit.So both of them are determined to win, and even the other is the biggest obstacle!

As former supernova cadres, the two of them are definitely top notch in strength: just mastering the basic level of Haki is not an advantage that others can match.

"The reward is mine."

"Oh, reward..."

Unlike Oppa who looked serious, the 'pretty girl' had a trace of sarcasm on her lips.

It seems that even Oba is content with the status quo. That's right. After all, they are just 'ordinary' strong men.As long as there are people to rely on, it is no different from these cheering civilians.

"Let's go, the fun is about to begin."

----

"This country is good,"

Standing on the top of the tallest building on the pier, the sea breeze blew the man's wide blood-red cloak, making him look like a legendary vampire.

But Baloric Redfield is a real non-ability person. With an umbrella in his hand as a weapon, he can keep pace with monsters like Whitebeard, Roger, and the Golden Lion!

With the addition of pets...or companions: the raccoon cat Pa Dong, one person is strong enough to defeat a legendary pirate group!

However, this man nicknamed the "Red Earl" has a very idle personality. He has no interest in the throne of "One Piece" and does not want to establish his own power.

All because of his powerful source:

Naturally domineering and knowledgeable!

Unlike the little girl Aisha from the future sky island who can cover the width of an island, the future Miss. Golden Week (the partner of the third brother Candle) can control the mind, and the princess of Fishman Island can change the appeal of others.

Redfield's Haki of Wisdom and Knowledge focuses on mental perception.

Intuitively speaking, Red Earl is born with the ability to passively hear other people's inner voices.

Later, he even developed the ability to read other people's memories through contact.He has simply trained his knowledge to the point where it is comparable to the 'Memory Fruit'!

"Well, hearing such a 'bright' voice makes me feel a little better."

The 'hope', 'longing', and 'excitement' in the hearts of the people below... made Redfield, who was standing at the top, narrow his eyes slightly.

The Red Earl's domineering power of knowledge and knowledge has a shortcoming that is not a 'flaw': that is, he can passively listen to other people's thoughts, and among humans... who doesn't have any dirty thoughts?

So often what he hears is:

"I want to sleep with the woman next door..."

"I want to get rich and trample everyone under my feet..."

"That guy who stole business from me, it's best if his whole family is killed by pirates..."

"Humph, they are just untouchables, they are just beasts. I can kill them with just one watch..."

For the Red Earl, hearing these noises every day and not turning into a world-destroying demon king is considered to be mentally firm.So he hates a bunch of people gathering together, unless they can resist what he sees and hears.

"Roger is gone, and one less friend is left."

When the Red Earl was feeling emotional, the civet cat on his shoulder conscientiously comforted him.

"Boss, I will always be with you."

"Haha, Pa Dong."

The red earl's eyes were full of tenderness as he touched the top hat's head lovingly.

Only the civet cat "Padong" who was once a "pen" and later ate the "Dog Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Civet Cat Form" due to Vegapunk's skills can accompany the Red Earl.

Because Pa Dong has a simple mind and is the same on the outside.

Lonely,

This is the price of power.

"Oh? I heard some noise."

The Red Earl's eyes fell on the man with long blond hair in the team below, and the corners of his evil mouth raised slightly.

"boring,"

None of this has anything to do with him. He is here for——

His eyes shifted to the front of the team, Rossi, who was wearing a black feather coat.

"Devil fruits are indeed incredible."

It seems that what he is pursuing lies in this young man.

Ok?

In the team below, Rossi tilted his head and looked at the top of the tallest building on the dock next to him.

Nothing at all···

illusion?

No, seeing, hearing, sex and domineering have already been practiced to the point of 'predicting the future'. How could such a low-level reaction as 'illusion' occur?

There was indeed something there just now!

----

King's Heights,

"Yes, you all work seriously for the family."

Dover, who was sitting on the throne, put down the report in his hand. Below him was a group of mid-level cadres half kneeling on the ground.No matter what identities they had and what experiences they had, they are now members of the Don Quixote family.

"I think you all heard about it,"

As Dover snapped his fingers, Torebol next to him took out a glass treasure box.

? !

After seeing what was inside, the people below immediately became uneasy.

Devil Fruit!

And this number...a full six! !

No way, this is too generous.It’s incredible just to collect so many Devil Fruits, but it seems like they actually take them all out as rewards...

For a moment, everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement!

I originally thought there would be one for everyone to compete with, but since there are six...many people who think they are not weak can't help but look happy on their faces.

"Fufufu, this is the family's reward for those who are loyal."

"But I want to remind you first, these are not 'devil fruits'."

? ?

"But 'Artificial Devil Fruit'!"

···

After many of the shocked middle-level cadres left, Dover turned to ask Torebol next to him.

"Where are the Rossi people?"

"Um...he said he was a little uneasy, so he was touring around the palace."

"What do you mean?"

Even Dover frowned in confusion.

"With the strength of our family, who can sneak in? Admiral, legendary pirate... impossible!"

----

Just as Dover took a sip of poisonous milk, Rosie had already patrolled to the top of the palace.

"Strange, am I really neurotic?"

Standing on the rooftop of the palace, looking at the entire Dressrosa, Rossi was puzzled.

Impossible. After all, he was also a person who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood (physics).Even the millions of corpse puppets of Accardo the Impaler didn't make Rossi frown. How could there be such a hallucination——? !

in a split second,

Rossi saw a palm fall on his head from behind! ! !

call out------

"Hey, failed?"

In an instant, Rossi appeared on the other side of the castle and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on his vest. The third generation ghost in his hand was placed in front of him, and his pupils contracted violently to lock the position where he was standing before.

"Red Earl???"

Wearing a big red cloak like bat wings, blue roses on the chest, a devilish smile, a gold chain hanging from the corner of the mouth, a slender umbrella in his hand, and a very similar to Chopper on the shoulder, but a real tanuki——

"Baroric Redfield..."

This name is a real 'nightmare' on the sea.

I wish you go to sea and meet the Red Earl, who is the most vicious curse for all three parties: navy, pirates, and merchants.

Two years ago, an unlucky 'Shichibukai' met him, and then...

There's no after that.

"What are you doing here?"

Don’t blame Rossi for overreacting, it’s just that the Red Earl is too powerful!

You must know that this guy was able to overturn the current Navy Marshal "Song" by himself, and then had a battle with Garp who came over, and was imprisoned in Impel Down due to lack of physical strength.

With this record, even Roger and Whitebeard would be ashamed...

Don't ask why Whitebeard is the 'strongest man', because the entire sea has tacitly expelled the Red Earl from his 'humanity'!

Just by looking at you, I can clearly understand what is in your heart; by touching you, I can read your entire life's memories... Is this still a human being?

"Take it easy, kid."

The Red Earl, who failed to read the memory, smiled evilly.

"I'm here for the power of a devil fruit."
