Rain

So that's it.

My hands are still handcuffed behind Hailoushi, and I am sitting upright on a deep red single sofa.It's not a matter of integrity. In this case, leaning back lazily will make your arms numb.

Sitting across from him was Lu Qi with his legs crossed, pouring amber whiskey into the glass.The strong aroma of the wine that overflowed immediately after opening the glass cork showed the high value of this bottle of wine. I half-closed my eyes to suppress my untimely gluttons.The problem that the little guy gave me is not serious, but it is not small... I swallowed the saliva in my mouth dryly, trying to divert my attention.There is no one that has been stored in the cellar for 40 to 9 years, and this fragrance cannot come out.It seems that cp[-]'s salary is really good.Tsk tsk, if it weren't for my dark history hanging there, maybe job-hopping wouldn't be impossible...

The empty room didn't have much decoration, there were gaudy double knives hanging on the wall, and rows of steel guns in the corner.There is a huge bookcase densely packed with books.Just when he was about to squint to see the title on the side of the book, Lu Qi gave him a cold look.She rolled her eyes in embarrassment, and sneered at it in her heart. If you don't want others to see it, don't put it on the bright side, okay?

Kalifa and Kaku sat on the sofa beside them, one with arms crossed, the other pushing his glasses. Ever since Lu Qi revealed my identity in front of everyone, he never took his eyes off me.Maybe they are also preventing me from disappearing without anyone noticing?However, the corners of my eyes seemed to twitch after seeing me swallowing saliva subtly.If only I had that kind of means... Really...

At this moment, Kaku and Kalifa are facing the two devil fruits in front of them with complex expressions.There are odd swirls on the surface, one resembling a banana and the other the size of a fist-sized olive.A precious fruit with a price but no market. It is produced in the sea. After eating it, it can have incredible abilities.The downside is...it will become a landlubber that becomes weak when it comes into contact with sea water.

I was lucky enough to see the devil fruit illustration on the old ship, which records all the devil fruits known to the world.But the two in front of me are not on it.In other words, they don't know what effect these fruits will have.

The two next to me are also struggling with this.

I am interested in this shortcut to reach the sky in one step, but I am hesitant to bear such an obvious weakness from now on.

"No matter what kind of ability you have, the key lies in how you use it..." Lu Qi tore off his tie with one hand, and threw it on the back of the chair casually, "Nine times out of ten, your ability will increase and you will become a landlubber." There's nothing wrong with that... I don't know how many crew members died in order to find a devil fruit..."

He was right.The appearance of devil fruits has no rules to follow, and they can only be salvaged on the great channel.But a devil fruit can sell hundreds of millions of Baileys, and if it is a relatively powerful fruit recorded in the illustrated book, it can even be doubled.The huge wealth that has been squandered for several generations has made people flock to it and take risks for it.But there are too few lucky ones who can catch the fruit, and there are often news that the entire fishing fleet has been wiped out.And the navy also intervened in the devil fruit trade, trying to monopolize the devil fruit as much as possible so that it does not leak out.This also pushed up the market price of Devil Fruit even higher.These two fruits were given by their chief Sapadam just now, and they are called task rewards.But even I can see the fanatical and greedy light in his eyes, and he completely regards these few people as his own army.Come on, he has neither blood nor righteousness, so he can't control these guys at all, unless they are in a good mood and willing to obey orders.

I stared straight at the Devil Fruits, and my heart trembled when I thought how long these two small fruits would be enough for the little guy to eat.Hey, why am I not so lucky?It's better to be treated as a civil servant...

The other three cp9s I met just now crowded around the door and yelled, but they didn't come in.The previous man with long braids was named Gabra, and he slammed the door: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, it's useless at all!" Well, it would be better if the expression on his face wasn't so ugly.The owl with a zipper on its mouth rolled its eyes and said bluntly: "Gabra, are you worried that Kaku will become stronger?" Excited at the Achilles' heel: "No! What nonsense are you talking about!"

There was a lot of noise over there, Kaku and Kalifa were silent for a while, they both picked up the fork, cut the devil fruit into pieces and ate it without hesitation.

"Hmm...it's interesting."

"If you win the lottery, you will be prosperous."

The two of them suddenly froze in place, their pupils shrank sharply, and their expressions were extremely painful.

I looked at the empty plates with regret, and of course I understood why they showed such expressions.

Apart from not being able to touch the sea, there is probably one more weakness of Devil Fruits, right?

That's just too unpalatable...

In the past, out of curiosity, I wondered whether devil fruits could be made into meals.Then it is natural to ask the ability users he knows, what is the taste of the devil fruit.All the people I asked had bad faces when they recalled eating it, and some even shivered.You know, these are all iron-blooded men who have experienced many battles?I was most impressed by the answer Ace gave me at the time.

"Like burnt rubber... with rotten stinky fish and a soapy texture?"

This explanation stuck with me for the rest of my life.

What's even more frightening is that many people don't know that a devil fruit can gain power just by eating one bite.

Most people eat the hideous fruit whole.

It's sad.

Lu Qi looked at the two who were so disgusted that they wanted to take their breath away, they seemed to be in a happy mood, and the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.I almost forgot that this guy is also an ability user.Are you gloating?Sure enough, he was subtly happy?He took a sip of the wine in his glass and raised his eyebrows: "I'll feel the changes soon, I'm really looking forward to it..."

Kaku Kalifa and the two were covered in cold sweat. They didn't know whether they were disgusted by the taste in their mouths, or their bodies had indeed changed.They looked down at their hands thoughtfully, and Lu Qi added lightly, but his eyes met mine this time: "There will be a chance to practice soon... Bruno seems to be unable to wait..."

I didn't move my eyes away and looked at him coldly.

Sure enough, he knew that Luffy and his party had come to Judiciary Island.

In their chief's office before, I felt something was wrong when I saw the phone bug that hadn't hung up the receiver.But there was something odd about this.

If he knew that the Straw Hat Pirates had come to the island, he would have known that ordinary soldiers would not be able to take them down after a short fight.I also noticed that the handset was not hooked up properly, but as a subordinate, he ignored it without reminding him. This attitude is very interesting.

It seems that cp9 and they don't accept Sapadam?

The rest of cp9 and his party retreated one after another with insight, and only Lu Qi and I were sitting face to face in the room, with a table in between, and Hadori resting on his shoulders.Two people, one pigeon and one bottle of wine, can they make a doggerel?Lu Qi gently turned the wine glass with his left hand, allowing the amber liquid in the glass to flow up the side wall of the glass, and then slowly flow down.The ice cubes floating on the wine collided, making a slight pleasant ding-dong sound.Lu Qi locked my eyes, took out a recording pointer from his pocket with his right hand, and played with it in his hand.

My pupils shrank slightly, my face was expressionless, but I kept smiling wryly in my heart.

Oh no.

The old record pointer, the grain direction on the blackened wooden case, and the tiny scratches on the glass are all correct.Isn't this the record pointer to the Wally Lab hidden in my luggage?

The author has something to say:

That's right, I'm trying my best to write.

If you don't save your manuscript, you will post it when you finish writing it.

Hope you enjoy watching.
