The Flower Capital of Wano Country.

Inside a private house.

“?! Am I dead? Hehehe~” An old man felt his body up and down.

Opposite him sat several figures.

"Grandpa, you're not dead!"

After hearing this, the old man looked at the people in front of him and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Did you save me? Hehehe~"

There was still a hint of caution in his tone.

He remembered that he was supposed to die at the hands of Kurozumi Orochi's soldiers.

At this moment, I was still sitting in the house safely. I thought it must be the group of handsome people in front of me who saved me.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, a man who wants to be the Pirate King!"

Seeing that Luffy was so unreserved, everyone could only hold their foreheads.

The old man searched in his mind, then shook his head and said: "Monkey D. Luffy? I don't know him, I've never heard of him, but thank you for saving me anyway. Hehehe~"

Luffy was not angry, but said again very seriously: "It's okay, this name will resound throughout the world in the future!

By the way, Grandpa, why did those people arrest you? "

When the old man heard Luffy's question, he lowered his head and his voice slowly sounded:

"I originally had a daughter. During the last garden party, Kurozumi Snake saw her and asked to take her back to marry him. Hahahaha.

But my daughter doesn't want to, and I don't agree either, hahaha.

But Kurozumi Orochi forcibly separated us father and daughter despite our opposition, and I took my daughter to the general's mansion, hahahaha.

I know that once I am taken into the General's Mansion, there will be almost no chance of coming back.

This time, I just wanted to see my daughter, but they disagreed, hahahaha."

Luffy asked again: "So what do you mean by the return of the Kozuki family?"

At this time, Fei Che explained to everyone: "Twenty years ago..."

After listening to Fei Che's explanation.

Luffy couldn't help but sigh that Tamada was truly a man and worthy of being the respected general of the River Country.

Ace also nodded. He had heard such a story once before.

But after listening to it again, he would still admire what Kouyuki Yuda did, and feel extremely angry at the actions of Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi.

"This Kaido and Orochi are really abominable. Hey, Loto, I'm going to beat Orochi and Kaido away right now."

Luffy's tone was filled with indignation.

“You should leave Wano Country as soon as possible, Kaido and Orochi are both very powerful, hahahahaha.

If they hear you want to deal with them, they might lose their lives. Hahaha."

The old man's tone was very serious, but his face was filled with smiles, and he was almost laughing with tears in his eyes.

But who is Luffy? The only word in his dictionary is "do it", and he has never been afraid of the strength of his opponent.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest with an extremely confident smile on his face, "Hahaha, no matter who he is, I'm going to beat him up! What's the point of playing One Piece if I back down whenever I meet someone casually?"

The old man looked up at Luffy's appearance, and for a moment he was actually infected, as if no enemy could stop this young man.

"Hahahahahaha."

"Grandpa, I just felt very strange. You seemed to be laughing from beginning to end. It was such a serious matter. Why were you laughing?"

Luffy's words expressed the doubts in everyone's mind.

Robin, Hancock, and Ace all looked at the old man strangely.

Indeed, the old man had never stopped laughing since they met him.

And a lot of times that laughter is totally inconsistent with what is being said or done.

Each of them has Observation Haki. Of course, they know that the old man is not happy.

Then there must be something wrong with this old man since he keeps laughing.

The old man's eyes darkened, and he slowly said, "Last time, the men of Kurozumi Orochi gave us a basket of fruits with strange patterns on them.

We were wondering at the time why someone as stingy as Kurozumi Orochi would be so generous in distributing fruits to us.

It turns out that there is something wrong with these fruits.

There were more than a hundred of us who ate it.

Hahahaha.

Two of them were taken away by Kurozumi Orochi's men, and the remaining ninety-eight of us were deprived of our expressions.

Hahahaha.

All our emotions were replaced by laughter.

Ha ha ha ha. "

After hearing the old man's explanation, everyone became even more indignant towards Kurozumi Orochi.

At this time, Lotte slowly said: "Let me explain it to you.

In order to dominate the world, Kaido strengthens the power of the Beasts Pirates.

He plans to build a corps of people with special abilities in his own pirate group.

However, it is still very difficult to obtain devil fruits in this world.

However, the Devil Fruit can be artificially created."

When everyone heard Lotte's words, they were all stunned.

They didn't expect that the devil fruit could be created artificially.

If that were true, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

If a group or organization has thousands or tens of thousands of people with special abilities, dominating the pirate world will be a piece of cake.

Robin frowned and asked, "If devil fruits can really be mass-produced, then this world will be in danger."

Lotte chuckled, and then said: "The interesting thing is that devil fruits are created by nature and are the collection of human wishes.

Nature cannot be easily created by humans.

The only devil fruit that can be created is an animal-type devil fruit.

The inventor of this technology is Vegapunk, and Vegapunk himself said that this technology has a huge flaw.

The flaw is that less than 10% of the artificial devil fruits created have the ability to successfully gain devilish powers after being taken by humans.

The remaining 90% cannot gain any abilities, and eating these failed devil fruits will result in a side effect.

Stripped of all expression, replaced entirely with smiles.

What’s even more incredible is that the name of this artificial devil fruit is smile.”

When everyone heard what Lotte said, they finally understood why the old man in front of them only smiled and had no other emotions.

It turns out that the fruit that Kurozumi Orochi gave to these people was an artificial devil fruit.

And this old man is the loser among them.

Stripped of all emotions, only laughter remains.

"Damn it! Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi!!"

Even Ace was extremely indignant at this moment.

When the old man heard what Lot said, he understood. It turned out that all this was designed by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido!

He also thought that the fruit that Kurozumi Orochi gave them to eat was the Laughing Fruit, and he wanted to enjoy everyone's laughter.

I didn't expect that they were just experiments of Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido.

If the animal-type devil fruit ability is awakened successfully, he will join the Beasts Pirates' corps of capable people.

If you fail, you will naturally be abandoned!

And he will become a smiler with no other expression except a silly smile!

"These guys!" Ace clenched his fists so hard that they made a clattering sound.

However, Luffy stood up and walked outside.

"Hey! Luffy! What are you going to do?" Ace asked hurriedly.

"I'm going to beat the black charcoal snake away!"
