Grand Route, Hasalik Island, beach station.
The Roger Pirates held a lively banquet on this island for three days and three nights.
During these three days, Rocks and Barrett thoroughly understood the madness of Roger's pirate group.
Of course, it’s the madness of the banquet.
Every member of Roger's pirate group was extremely enthusiastic about holding the banquet.
As soon as the party started, they almost forgot everything else, completely letting go of everything, drinking and bragging like crazy, and even doing some made-up dances around the fire due to their nature.
Today, all the members of Roger's pirate group have recovered from their drunken stupor and started to collect supplies and transport them to the ship.
"Hey, Galan, look what I caught today? A huge, fat bison!"
"Tsk, what's there to be proud of? Didn't I catch a wild donkey, too?"
"Hey, Shanks, this time I found something good!"
Buggy walked up to Shanks triumphantly and placed a strange fruit in front of Shanks.
Shanks exclaimed immediately when he saw the strange fruit.
"Wow! Buggy, you are so lucky! Isn't this a devil fruit?!"
Hearing Shanks' exclamation, all the members of Roger's pirate group who were on the beach gathered together.
"Wow, it really is a devil fruit! Buggy, you are so lucky!"
"This is the first time I've seen a devil fruit! It's worthy of being called a secret treasure of the sea, it looks really good!"
"Hey, hey, Buggy, don't you want to eat it? If you eat the devil fruit, you can become a special ability user!"
The members of Roger's pirate group gathered around Buggy and talked a lot, constantly pointing at the devil fruit in Buggy's hand.
Buggy looked at his companions gathered around him, grinning triumphantly and laughing.
"Hehehe! I won't eat a devil fruit. I'll sell this! My dream is to find all the treasures in the sea. I don't want to eat a devil fruit and become a landlubber. Besides, if I sell this thing, it's worth at least 100 million berries!"
"Wow, 100 million berries! Isn't that more valuable than my head?"
Hearing what Buggy said, Mr. Momola exclaimed and then burst into laughter.
"That's right, Momola, this fruit is much more valuable than your head, hahahaha!"
"Momola, you have to work harder! In this pirate group, your bounty is one of the lowest, hahaha."
Momola didn't care about the teasing of her companions, but she knew very well how mean her companions were.
"By the way, Rocks, it seems that you, Barrett, and Erida Sasaki are the only ones on this ship who have Devil Fruit abilities."
Dongqino smiled and turned to look at the Rocks group of four.
"Yes, that's right. We are indeed the only ones on the ship who have special abilities. What's the matter?"
Rocks responded to Donkino calmly, not knowing why he asked this.
"How is it? How does it feel to eat the devil fruit? How does the devil fruit taste?"
Dongqino asked curiously.
After hearing Dongqino's question, Rocks also thought about it for a while.
"Well, I was injured so badly that I forgot about it. I just wanted to eat something and recover quickly, so I forgot what it tasted like. Barrett or Erida Sasaki might know better."
"Oh, the taste of the devil fruit? It's really unforgettable. I strongly suggest that you find the devil fruit in the future and taste it yourself. If you don't eat it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Eredar looked at his companions with a cunning look in his eyes and smiled with narrowed eyes.
Looking at Erida's nostalgic and happy eyes, Barrett and Sasaki shuddered at the same time.
For Barrett and Sasaki, who had eaten the devil fruit, it was indeed not something worth recalling.
However, seeing Ereda like that, Barrett and Sasaki did not expose Ereda's bad taste, and they also cooperated with Ereda very seriously.
"Yes, the taste of the devil fruit is indeed very good and very worth savoring."
Sasaki nodded seriously, with a look of certainty on his face.
"Hahaha, that's right, the taste of the devil fruit will definitely make you remember it for the rest of your life."
Seeing the three of them truly reminiscing and looking so happy, everyone else swallowed their saliva.
"Gudong"
“Is it really that delicious?”
Bucky swallowed and asked curiously.
Erida looked at Buggy's eager expression and smiled even more happily with her eyes narrowed.
"That's right, Buggy. The taste of the devil fruit will indeed be unforgettable. How about trying it?"
Erida's words were like the devil's whispers, constantly stimulating Bucky's beliefs.
"Gudong, but, but, if I eat the devil fruit, I will become a landlubber. Then, I won't be able to get the treasure in the seabed!"
Buggy seemed to be struggling. He wanted to eat the devil fruit and taste the deliciousness that Ereda and the others had talked about, but he also didn't want to become a landlubber and not be able to go to the sea to look for treasure.
Looking at the conflicted Bucky, Erida prepared to give him one last provocation.
"Baki, you have to know that the treasures in the sea are countless, but you can only taste the taste of the devil fruit once."
Hearing Erida's words, Bucky was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, that's right. Ereda is right. The treasures in the sea are countless, but you can only eat a devil fruit once in your lifetime."
Having made the decision in his mind, Buggy immediately brought the devil fruit to his mouth, and then took a bite under the expectant gazes of the other members of Roger's pirate group.
"????"
When Buggy took the first bite of the devil fruit, his eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face.
"vomit!!!!"
After being stunned for a while, Bucky started vomiting violently, with tears and snot all over his face.
Everyone looked at Buggy and saw that after swallowing a mouthful of the Devil Fruit, he was so moved that he shed tears and had a runny nose. They immediately believed Erida's words and completely ignored Buggy's vomiting.
"Hey, Buggy, how does it taste? You look so touched, it must be really delicious!"
The members of Roger's pirate group asked curiously.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh, damn it! Ereda, you liar, you still owe me 100 million berries!"
Bucky roared and rushed directly towards Erida.
"Hahaha! Buggy, are you kidding me? Besides, you ate the devil fruit and gained a superpower!"
Ereda laughed and kept dodging Buggy's attacks, teasing Buggy.
"Damn it! Ereda, you actually lied to me. This thing is so disgusting, even worse than shit, and you actually lied to me! Give me back the 100 million berries!"
When everyone heard what Buggy said, they exclaimed in disbelief.
Just as Erida and Buggy were fighting and the others were watching and making a fuss, a navy ship with a dog's head on its bow slowly appeared on the sea surface.
On the bow of the navy ship, a tall and sturdy man in a white suit and a dog-head hat stood with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the Roger Pirates in the distance with a smile on his face.
"Hahahaha! Roger, you bastard, it's so hard to find you!"
