Pirate: I can copy fruit ability

Three days later in the evening, Rubick and Zoro landed on the island of Dry Leaf Village.

Rubick's eyes were half-squinted and his beard was unkempt. He said, "I'm finally ashore. I want to have a big meal!"

In the morning, the two of them had already finished their food, and the rest of the journey relied on perseverance.Zoro's situation is a little better, he has encountered worse situations than this, but Rubick, so far, has only been hungry in the mines.

"It's a little weird."

Rubick said in surprise: "There is no one at this pier?"

Sauron squatted on the side of the road and saw the signs of fallen flowers and plants and said, "Maybe the people are gone, so be careful."

The two of them walked along the dirt road towards the village, but saw smoke curling from the kitchen in the distance, and there were a few shouts from time to time.

Continuing forward, a small village appeared.The main road of the village is the dirt road at the foot of Rubick and Sauron. Along both sides of the dirt road, many wooden houses have been built far and near.

Smoke was rising from the chimneys of many houses, and some villagers gathered in groups. Although it was not obvious, their eyes were always looking at Rubick and Sauron, full of vigilance.

"Hey, you two are from outside?"

A middle-aged man with a cloth on his head and a beard came up to him. He said to Rubick and Zoro: "You two should be adventurers. Do you want to add some food? I am the village chief here. , whatever you want, I will take you there directly."

Zoro was an old man. He didn't speak, but quietly looked around.

Rubick started chatting with the village chief: "The village chief has a good eye and knows that we are here to buy supplies."

"Hi!"

The village chief said with a smile: "You two are armed and empty-handed. You must be here to buy supplies. Look at the watchtower on the mountain. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

As the village chief said, the village is built on the mountain. There is a stone watchtower on the top of the mountain. At this time, there are still two people standing vaguely on it.

Rubick nodded: "Well, take us to the tavern. We both have big appetites."

"Don't be so troublesome."

Sauron said: "Just give us raw food. We are used to cooking it ourselves."

The village chief was stunned, met Sauron's eyes, and then said: "No problem, is pork okay? How about we sell you a whole one directly?"

"make a deal."

Outside the village, on the seaside near the pier.

Zoro was hanging the freshly killed pig on a tree to bleed it. A hole had been dug on the ground, and the blood and pig water would be buried in it later.

Rubick was lighting a fire on the side, frowning slightly, probably because he was troubled.

Zoro saw Rubick's look, so he explained: "Uncle, have you been eaten by dogs for more than [-] years of experience? You can tell there is something wrong here, and you still want to go to their tavern to eat."

"You mean..."

Zoro sneered: "There are no children or old people here, and there are very few women. The villagers' eyes are fierce and a little bloodthirsty. Besides, the village chief's tiger's mouth is covered with calluses, which are obviously the marks left by years of using knives."

Rubick said in surprise: "You mean, they are all pirates!"

"Isn't that right? We'll find out later."

Rubick had an ominous premonition: "If these people are pirates, then where have those villagers gone?"

"If you're lucky, you might be able to find the body."

"how come?"

Rubick sat there, silent.With a very active mind, he had already begun to imagine those inhumane scenes.

Zoro used the knife he just bought to cut the pork into pieces, then picked up the two hind legs and started threading them on with bamboo skewers.In the current situation, we can only eat barbecue. Although it is not delicious, it is still full.

Zoro said: "Uncle, sometimes I think you are very mature, but sometimes you are just like a child. I really yearn for your hometown to live carefree to such an old age."

Zoro had noticed early on that Rubick was too old and had little social experience.

"It's true. My seniors used their lives and blood to bring peace to our country, so that our younger generations can live a carefree life. Speaking of which, if the son of prophecy hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have received the call. We went to sea for this mission.”

"What prophecy child?"

Sauron became curious, and Rubick explained: "The prophet of our country predicted that someone who can end the era of great pirates has appeared, and my task is to guide him to end this era of chaos."

Zoro laughed loudly: "End this era of chaos? Are you kidding? How could there be no pirates in this world? I think your prophets are almost the same as magicians."

Rubick said nonchalantly: "No matter what you think, that person is in the East China Sea now. I will go find him after a while. And you are the vice-captain I helped him choose."

"Don't be ridiculous, I won't be a pirate. Besides, if you ask pirates to end the pirate era, it seems like a fantasy. Uncle, let's be more pragmatic."

Rubick chuckled and thought of something.Then he said, "Zoron, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

Zoro was a little wary, and Rubick said: "Instead of talking about the son of prophecy, let's put it another way. What the prophet mentioned is actually a devil fruit. The person who eats that devil fruit is the son of prophecy."

"Devil Fruit? Is there really such a thing?"

Speaking of which, there are only a few people in the entire East China Sea who possess Devil Fruits.The only wanted person is Bucky the Clown, and this guy is so good at turtles that many people don't know he has eaten a Devil Fruit.

Rubick stretched out his right hand, and soon, the five fingers turned into smoke, and they did not float away with the wind.

"You see, this is the devil fruit."

Zoro was surprised for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "Hmph, even if he is a Devil Fruit user, I can still defeat him with my sword."

Rubick said: "Let's talk about the bet. Let's bet on whether this son of prophecy will meet you."

"Meet me?"

Rubick said categorically: "Yes, let's bet on whether he will meet you under the arrangement of fate. At that person's age, the time to go to sea should be next year. I won't follow him then, so let He goes out to sea alone to see if he can meet you."

Zoro saw that Rubick was so serious, so he said: "Okay, since it is fate, I will believe you for once. So, what are the characteristics of the son of prophecy?"

"He eats rubber fruits with super powers, and his whole body is made of rubber. He is not afraid of blunt blows, and bullets from firearms cannot hurt him."

Zoro said speechlessly: "Rubber fruit? You actually believe that a piece of rubber can end this era?"
