Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

If anyone thinks that it is the big pirates who cause the greatest harm to civilians, they are very wrong.

You know, there are only a few people in the whole world who can be called great pirates.

Most of these pirates have their own territories, and they run them like a kingdom.

On the contrary, the middle-level and lowest-ranking pirate groups are the most serious threat.

It's not how strong they are, but how many...

There are so many of them!

Even if the navy had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around the world, it would still not be able to handle everything.

This type of pirate is the one who is most keen on looting and killing civilians.

This is also the greatest value of Rhodes 1518 type, because it can allow marines to completely crush the pirates of the same lower class, thereby suppressing the existence of the greatest threat to civilians.

Come to the place where Dolly fell and pick up the Flame-Flame Fruit on the ground.

"Is this the Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit? It's quite beautiful."

Looking at the fruit in his hand that looked like pieces of flaming scales, Luo Lan couldn't help but admire it.

The only pity is...

Luo Lan himself can't use it.

Otherwise, he really wanted to eat it.

Although in the original work, the performance of the Flame-Flame Fruit was somewhat useless, and was even completely suppressed by Akainu's Lava Fruit, Luo Lan always believed that it was Ace's wrong development route.

How many degrees is lava?

700-1200 degrees, which means the highest is 1200 degrees, right?

What about the flame?

Indeed, ordinary flames are only 300-500 degrees, which is not enough in front of the lava fruit, but...

It's just a normal flame, okay?!

Obviously, Ace suffered from the lack of education and knowledge.

Otherwise, if you use your imagination a little more, the Flame-Flame Fruit could be even stronger, after all...

There is actually no upper temperature limit for flames!

The Lava Fruit is a superior version of the Flame-Flame Fruit. Are you really that sure, Akainu?

"Ian, here you go!"

With a slight smile on his lips, Luo Lan directly threw the Flame-Flame Fruit over.

This really scared someone.

After a flurry of activity, he finally caught it in his hands.

"Colonel, are you saying that you gave me the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

At this moment, Ian was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Truly, the impact of Luo Lan's words just now was too great.

This is a natural fruit!!

There are only four naturalists in the entire navy now, and three of them are admirals.

It was that guy Smoker who lowered the standard of the nature department a bit.

But no matter what, there is a consensus on the nature system in this ocean, that is...

As long as you obtain a natural devil fruit, even if you can't become the strongest person in the future, you will definitely be a top-notch person.

Unless you seek death yourself, you will be killed before you grow up.

And now, his own colonel directly gave him the Flame-Flame Fruit?

"Nonsense, you know my physique, who else can I give it to except you?"

"Hehe, that's right, does this count as a bargain for me?"

"What do you say?"

Luo Lan glared at him unhappily.

Soon...

Ian took out a small knife, carefully peeled the skin of the flaming fruit, and then cut the flesh into pieces.

Finally, he took out a handkerchief from somewhere, opened it and stuffed it into his collar.

Watching this scene, Luo Lan suspected...

Luo Lan was speechless, thinking...

If this guy happened to have a knife and fork with him, he would definitely take them out.

However, in the next second, Ian actually took out a fork and put a piece of fruit into his mouth.

Numb...

Luo Lan was really annoyed.

Although my adjutant is more particular about food than me, his food has never been so exaggerated.

It's just a devil fruit, is it necessary?

Besides, you know that you only need to eat one bite of the devil fruit, but why did you eat three pieces in a row? No, this guy is still eating, and it's already the fourth piece...

The most important thing is, this thing doesn't taste like shit, but your intoxicated expression means something...

(Ian: This is a natural devil fruit, how can you eat it without a sense of ritual? As for the taste... it is a bit weird, but when you think about the natural fruit you are eating, even shit is sweet and delicious, okay?)

After five full minutes.

Ian finally finished eating all the fruit pulp, stood up and wiped his mouth.

The next moment, a flame shot up into the sky and enveloped Ian completely.

Luo Lan moved closer and felt the temperature.

Lost in thought...

The temperature is not high, it is still within the range of ordinary flames.

It seems that if you want to use the devil fruit well, you still have to learn math, physics and chemistry first...

"What do you think, Colonel?"

Ian asked with excitement on his face as the flames dissipated.

Luo Lan glanced at him.

"That's terrible. Starting tomorrow, you have to go to the Research Institute for three hours of classes every day. I'll have Silas arrange for someone to teach you!"

After saying this, without waiting for Ian to react, Luo Lan turned around and left.

Someone is in a mess...

Attend class?

What the hell is going on!!

------

the next day.

Ian is reporting on last night's harvest.

"Colonel, we have completed all the inventory work."

"A total of 5780 million peso in cash and about 2500 million peso worth of property were seized from Dolly's ship."

"The only problem now is what to do with Dolly's body. After all... there's a bounty on him!"

The jobs Ian had done before were all about selecting pirate groups that had no bounty and a low sense of presence, so he didn't have to worry about collecting the bounty.

But Dolly is different. Although his strength is just so-so, he is the second captain of the Click Pirates and has a bounty of 480 million Beli.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

Let alone anything else, just going to the sea restaurant Barati is enough to be cool and stylish dozens of times, right?

Ian didn't want to waste it.

"Well, this is indeed a problem, but it is also quite troublesome to get the money."

"Colonel, how about we go through the Bounty Hunter Guild..."

Ian suggested.

Luo Lan fell into deep thought.

Of course he knew about the Bounty Hunter Guild.

In fact, many people who find it inconvenient to go and collect the bounty themselves after killing a bounty hunter will seek cooperation with the bounty guild.

The method is also very direct. The Bounty Hunter Guild arranges people to collect the bounty, and finally everyone splits it 50-50.

Everyone is happy, right?

However, Luo Lan was somewhat unwilling to have 50% of his profit taken away by others for no reason.

Secondly, Dolly is very special. After all, all the organizations or pirate groups with some strength in the East China Sea now know that this guy has a natural devil fruit.

The Navy's intelligence system also knew this.

There is no guarantee that the Bounty Hunters Guild will not be petty in this matter, especially the Navy. If someone delivers Dolly's body...

Do you think they will follow this line and investigate thoroughly?

You know, that's a natural devil fruit!!

And throughout the whole process, no matter how careful you are, there is no guarantee that something won't be discovered.

"We can cooperate with them on the Dragon issue, but not on Dolly. It's only 480 million..."

"Let's follow the old rules and send his ship into the doldrums together!"

------

All the pirates' bodies were transported into Dory's pirate ship.

Then lock the rudder and hoist the sail.

Heading towards the doldrums.

Three hours later.

A sea king with a body length of several hundred meters is emerging from under the sea...

Quickly approach the pirate ship that has lost power and is stuck due to lack of wind.
