Somewhere on an island.
On the shabby street, more than a dozen people gathered together. The leader was sitting on a wooden barrel, holding a strange-shaped fruit in his hand and placing it in front of his eyes, squinting to appreciate it. With.
"You said... for such a small thing, the Don Quixote family offered 200 million beli. Is this thing really worth that much, or what?"
"If it didn't have that kind of value, the Don Quixote family wouldn't have offered such a high price. After all, this is the legendary devil fruit. It is said that if you eat it, you will gain special abilities and you will be cursed by the sea. .”
A person next to him looked at the Devil Fruit in Tamori's hand, and said with some greed: "Speaking of which, boss, if you eat this Devil Fruit, you may become stronger. Maybe we don't have to sell it to others."
"Qi."
Tamori cut it, glanced at the Devil Fruit in his hand, and said: "So what if you get special abilities? Can you get 200 million beli? Unless you go to sea to become a pirate... But you also know that there are now pop-ups in the East China Sea. Here comes a pirate hunter, I don’t know how many great pirates have died in his hands.”
Having said this, Tamori grinned and said: "With 200 million beli, I can go to a big city and become a noble, and I still need to take risks to become a pirate!"
"That's true, but boss, you won't abandon us..."
Several people nearby looked at Tamori pitifully.
Tamori smiled, held the Devil Fruit, and said, "Of course not, I will take you all out of this broken town."
A dozen or so of them were gangsters in this town. They usually made a living by cheating and stealing from passers-by or docked merchant ships. Unexpectedly, they accidentally discovered a Devil Fruit.
After the news spread, someone quickly contacted them and offered to buy the devil fruit for 200 million beli. Tamori was also shocked at the time because he almost couldn't help but eat it himself.
"It's almost the appointed time, so they should be here too."
Several people around him were a little nervous and anxious. After all, they were about to design a deal worth 200 million beli. This was a huge wealth they had never seen before.
Tamori said he was not in a hurry, but in fact he couldn't wait any longer. Just when everyone was looking forward to seeing what was going on, footsteps finally came from the front of the street.
Da da da.
I saw about a dozen people walking towards this side. The leader was dressed strangely, with a fat beer belly, shouting a strange pacifier, and wearing a baby's hood.
Tamori and others had strange expressions on their faces when they saw the image of that man, and some couldn't help but want to laugh. However, when they saw that the ten men in black behind him were all holding firecrackers and were not angry, they suppressed it. I stopped and didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"Is it Tamori's gang?"
The man who shouted the baby's pacifier stepped forward and spoke to Tamori and the others. He was none other than Senior, the leader of the Don Quixote family. Because it involved something as important as the Devil Fruit, he wanted to do it in person this time. Bring the team over.
Tamori resisted the urge to complain about Senior's weird image, stood up from the barrel, and said, "Yes, I am Tamori, are you from Don Quixote?"
The underground forces of the Don Quixote family are all over the world. Although Tamori and others are just small gangsters, they have heard of Don Quixote's name when they come into contact with the edges of the underground world.
Senior nodded, not caring about the looks of Tamori and others, and said, "Where are the things?"
"it's here… "
Tamori opened his palm, revealing the devil fruit tightly held in his palm.
Senior stretched out his hand to take it, took it in front of his eyes and said, "Well, it is indeed a Devil Fruit. It looks like it should be superhuman..."
Although I haven’t memorized the Devil Fruit illustrated book, it is quite easy to distinguish among the animal, superhuman and natural types of devil fruits. Among them, the superhuman type is the most complex and diverse, while the natural type is known as the strongest series. People who don’t know how to use domineering It is almost powerless to fight against the natural system.
After seeing Senior confirming the authenticity of the Devil Fruit, Tamori rubbed his hands slightly nervously and said: "Well, the Devil Fruit is for you, and the 200 million Baileys..."
"Oh, here it is."
Senior glanced up at Tamori and gestured to his subordinates behind him.
Just when Tamori and others thought that the subordinates in black suits at the rear were going to send money, the other party suddenly raised the firecrackers in their hands and pointed them at everyone.
"?!"
Tamori and the others' eyes widened instantly, showing a trace of horror.
But before they could react, the men behind Senior fired in unison. The bullets poured in, covering Tamori and the others, splashing blood.
Plop! Plop!
Tamori's younger brothers all fell to the ground. He was also shot several times, and he knelt on the ground dripping with blood. He looked at Senior with difficulty, spitting blood at his mouth, and said angrily and desperately: " But... damn... you Don Quixote... you don't keep your word..."
Senior held his pacifier in his mouth and calmly looked at Tamori who was kneeling in front of him. He took out a pistol, pointed it at his head, and said: "There is no need to keep your word when dealing with a gangster, not to mention who would know. , I think you got the money and went to a big city to become a noble."
If it is a transaction with a country, or a transaction with a large force, it will naturally be completed according to the credit of the transaction, but for ordinary gangsters who cheat and kidnap, there is no such need, they can be eliminated easily, and It's like cleaning up some garbage.
As soon as he finished speaking, Senior pulled the trigger.
boom!
Tamori fell back with a hateful look.
[You will not end well either]
Naturally, the look from an ordinary gangster in the East China Sea could not cause any fluctuation in Senior's heart. After killing Tamori, he took back his pistol and said, "Let's go."
The dozen or so subordinates at the rear also put away their firecrackers.
But at this moment.
Senior's expression suddenly changed, and he felt a sense of danger, and then he heard several sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly coming from above the roof.
Although he didn't know what was flying over, the feeling of danger still made him jump forward without hesitation, activated his swimming fruit ability, and suddenly dived into the ground.
However, Senior dodged the attack, and Don Quixote's subordinates behind him were just ordinary people, with almost no time to react or dodge.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Many of Don Quixote's subordinates, who had just killed a group of gangsters, lay dead on the ground.
"The Don Quixote family... really has some fate..."
Ron's figure appeared on the roof on one side, holding the elf wand in his hand. He was looking at the street of blood and corpses below, and let out a light tut.
The pirate group that he happened to meet and killed was planning to steal the Devil Fruit from this gang of gangsters, but Ron didn't expect that the gang of gangsters had already contacted Don Quixote.
But so is the thought.
The Don Quixote family originally had a mission to collect Devil Fruits, so the news of the appearance of Devil Fruits could not be ignored by them. Without him, this Devil Fruit would have fallen into the hands of the Don Quixote family without any surprise.
Now that he is here, some 'accidents' will probably happen.
