The Scourge of Pirates

The base price of a Devil Fruit is 100 million Beli.

According to the difference of ability and department, the price will double.

Even so, there is no market.

The most common occasions for Devil Fruit to appear are basically auctions that have a reputation and are sufficiently hard backstage.

It’s just that people who are eager for Devil Fruit usually push the bidding price to a price that ordinary people cannot afford.

It is also thanks to some means by Arthur that he can find some sellers in Underground World who are unwilling to auction Devil Fruit.

It’s a pity that the fate is bad, or he was born with Devil Fruit insulation attributes. Arthur struggled for that many years and never succeeded in buying a Devil Fruit.

Now, Maude, a major collector of Devil Fruit, is in front of him, and he must consider whether this is the only opportunity he has in his life closest to Devil Fruit.

In order to seize this opportunity, he was very hot-headed, so he squatted at the port in advance, waiting for Maude’s arrival, and then made a request to purchase Devil Fruit.

But Maude knows that Arthur has no money now.

Although he now holds five Devil Fruits, he is not generous enough to sell it cheaply.

The most important thing is that he is not short of money at all.

So, in response to Arthur’s request, Maude said, “Do you have any money,” is a blatant refusal.

Arthur’s mind cooled down, but he was desperately eager for Devil Fruit, and he didn’t want to miss this opportunity anyway.

He even thought of a way to write a promissory note to Maude, but he quickly rejected it by himself.

“I don’t have money, and I want to’get’ a Devil Fruit from Maude, what exactly should I do…”

Arthur’s head was fast in an instant Turn it up.

In this situation, few methods can be thought of.

And only one method with higher probability is difficult for Arthur himself to accept.

But after all, the desire for Devil Fruit has gained the upper hand.

In less than a second or two, Arthur raised his eyes and looked towards Maude, with a solemn expression: “I have no money, but I can sell this life to you!”

“Your life?”

Maude shook his head slightly. It was not that he looked down on Arthur. Based on his requirements for members of the team, Arthur was still a long way from qualified.

To put it ugly, Maude doesn’t need Arthur’s life at all.

When I was about to refuse, Maude suddenly thought of “blacking” Arthur’s permanent pointer in the Leviathan Island bar, as well as the [line skills] that Arthur was proficient in, and stopped in time. Discourse.

Seeing Maude shaking his head, Arthur’s heart sank directly to the bottom.

Sell your life to Maude, even if you become a slave of Maude, this is the only way Arthur can get Devil Fruit from Maude.

But even so, it failed.

Recalling the bad experiences in the past, Arthur felt that he was going to be depressed.

“Get on the boat, I will give you a chance to embody your’value’.”

Just when Arthur’s heart was dead, Maude’s sudden words seemed to break the night The dawn made Arthur’s whole heart alive in an instant.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes were full of bright rays of light.

“Boss, I won’t let you down!”

He has been in Underground World for many years, so he changed his name directly to Maude Boss.

Maude expressionlessly said: “I haven’t recognized your’value’ yet, so don’t rush to call my boss, and don’t be too happy too early.”

“If you show it The’value’ cannot meet my requirements, I will immediately let you disembark. Relatively, if you can show the value that satisfies me, it is nothing to give you a Devil Fruit for free.”

Hearing Maude’s words, Arthur narrowed the rays of light in his eyes, nodded.

The people around Maude Pirates, even if they do not agree with Arthur’s ability, will not disagree with Maude’s decision.

“Get on the boat.”

Maude strode towards the Underworld.

In Leviathan Island, Maude had a serious shortage of funds to build a ship, and it happened that Arthur sent him the permanent pointer of Little Garden.

At that time, due to insufficient funds, Maude could only use a few tricks and hacked the permanent pointer of Little Garden directly from Arthur.

Afterwards, Maude collected two waves of EXP in Little Garden, and also mastered vital hegemony skills.

It is these things that make Maude willing to give Arthur a chance.

If Arthur can get his approval, then he doesn’t mind giving [Spin ​​Fruit] to Arthur.

As Arthur watched Maude walking towards the back of the Hades, his fighting spirit was like a raging fire.

“I absolutely must seize this opportunity!”

Arthur muttered to himself in the heart.

Under the gaze of the Neptune family and many residents of Fishman Island, the Maude entire group boarded the Hades one by one.

After a while.

The sails are raised, and the Maude Pirates flag painted on the sails swells up with the sails, becoming quite three-dimensional.

Maude stood on the side of the ship, calmly watching Neptune and the others in the harbor.

From today, he has one more promise to fulfill.

For this, he has to become stronger, strong enough to fulfill all the promises he has promised.

Whether it is from Fishman Island, or from Big Bear and Sunny…

The Underworld slowly sailed away from the port to the deep sea outside Fishman Island.

As the Hades continued to rise, the Fishman Island below gradually became a small spot of light.

Laffitte and Jim are nervous, their attention is highly concentrated.

One of them is the Navigator and the other is the helmsman, taking on the safety of the entire team.

Even if they had completed a successful voyage to Fishman Island, they still did not relax in the deep seabed under these ten thousand meters.

In contrast, other people are much more relaxed, enjoying the deep sea wonders outside the bubble film while drinking wine.

The Haunted Earth slowly and steadily ascended until it successfully boarded the Shanghai Current, and its ascent speed instantly increased several times.

“There will be no problem in this way.”

Successfully sent the Hades to the upwelling current, Laffitte’s pressure eased a lot.

Following the rising currents, the sailing is very smooth.

Finally, the Underworld jumped out of the sea like a flying fish, and immediately fell heavily, shaking up large waves.

After jumping out of the sea, the scene before everyone’s eyes was a thunderstorm, violent wind erupted, and stormy sea everywhere.

“hong long long ——”

In the sky with black clouds surging, there was a deafening thunder, and one after another lightning scurried away in the thick black clouds.

“It’s pretty bad weather.”

Maude came to the bow and looked up at the sky of lightning flashes and thunder rolls.

His calm look is in stark contrast with the busy crew behind him.

“en?”

Suddenly, Maude’s eyes narrowed slightly.

On the sea surface of the Up Ahead of the Underworld, a visible naked eye cyclone appeared.

This kind of cyclone, Maude has seen many times in voyages, is a precursor to the formation of tornado.

Maude was about to remind Laffitte, but saw the original slender tornado cyclone, in just a second or two, it unreasonably expanded several times.

Every second, the tornado cyclone expands at an astonishing speed, while simultaneously rolling up a huge amount of seawater.

“Good fellow.”

A flash of surprise flashed in Maude’s eyes.

Rao has seen many waterspouts in the Grand Line, but this is the first time he has seen such an abnormal expansion speed and scale.

This is New World…

So, it’s better to go empty in the future.

At the same time.

Somewhere in the sky with clear weather.

The terrifying three-masted ship is quietly suspended above the sea of ​​clouds.

The trip to Fishman Island, with the size of a terrifying three-masted ship, cannot be coated to the sea.

So, the terrifying three-masted ship can only stay in New World and wait for the return of Maude entire group.

Jaya, who is responsible for controlling the terrifying three-masted ship, as it should be by rights, will also stay in New World.

Still with her, there are the crews of Mad Monk Pirates, Red Heart Pirates, Hawkins Pirates.

During the time Maude went to Fishman Island.

Jaya continued to embed the black stones of Thundergod Island one by one into the hollow hull area of ​​the terrifying three-masted ship to improve Fuwa Fuwa no Mi’s ability.

The other crew members, as coolies, are responsible for improving the image of the terrifying three-masted ship.

First of all, there are large and meaningless forests of gloomy coldness.

Secondly, there are very dazzling tomb areas and architectural ruins.

Their first task is to flatten these areas, and then wait for Maude and the others to return to transform the vacated areas.

With their efforts, the landscape of the island is changing.

Castle Yang on platform.

Jaya stood quietly, her long hair and skirt waving in the wind.

She held a life card in her hand.

“Maude…has an accident happened over there?”

Isolating the oncoming strong wind from the palm of his hand, Jaya noticed the direction the life card was pointing, and suddenly turned to The other side.

Although life card is business as usual, this sudden change makes Jaya a little worried.

“Should it be swallowed or taken away by the Sea King, right?”

Jaya worries to himself, and immediately follows the direction of the life card and uses his abilities , Changed the course of the terrifying three-masted ship.

Her main task is to meet Maude and the others who are back to the sea as soon as possible.

I thought there was a guideline for the life card, it shouldn’t be difficult to reunite.

After all, this is a more dangerous New World, and it is possible to usher in disaster at any time.

……..

Five days later.

An island in New World.

Clear sky ten thousand li, seagulls hovering over a simple harbor.

The severely damaged Hades was anchored in the harbor.

Its main mast broke, a large piece was lifted on the left side of the hull, the cabin shell was damaged to varying degrees, and the main sail and auxiliary sail were torn in large areas.

“Hey, the material of the entire hull is basically Treasure Wood Adam. This is too damn rich.”

On the wooden bridge on the shore, one dangling The short Little Old Man holding a pipe, extend the hand stroking the hull of the Underworld, couldn’t help but explode.

There is no other reason, but the Haunted Earth is too moat.

“I don’t know what you encountered that caused such a’sturdy’ ship to be damaged like this.”

“Are you sure you can fix it?”

Maude stood behind the short Little Old Man and did not mean to explain. Instead, he asked questions about repairing the Underworld.

The short Little Old Man looked back at Maude, nodded and said: “As long as you don’t mind material problems, maintenance is a trivial matter.”

“Then I’ll trouble you, please as soon as possible Fix our boat.”

“The money is in place, and everything is easy to say.”

The old man looked back, but he was a little surprised.

He recognized Maude, but absolutely didn’t expect. The rumored Great Pirate would be so kind to him as a trifling old ship repairer.

It’s been a long time to see you.

old man in the heart sighed with emotion.

Maude moved towards old man nodded, immediately turned and moved towards the building not far away.

Five days ago, the unreasonable super-large tornado they encountered in the stormy sea almost killed them on the spot.

Fortunately, the Underworld is so strong that it didn’t let them get on the boat and destroy them.

It’s just that people are out of danger, but the Haunted Earth is seriously damaged.

In desperation, Maude can only choose to rest on the island found in the vicinity Sea Territory.

On the one hand, the Underworld was repaired, and on the other hand, it was waiting for Jaya to come to them on the terrifying three-masted ship.

This island, which is temporarily closed, does not occupy a large area.

Just look at the port facilities, they are simple and backward.

The small town not far from the port is even more sparse with only twenty-thirty buildings.

When I first landed on the island, Maude’s first impression of the town was barren.

Of course, there is no alternative.

Compared with the first half of the Grand Line, New World’s navigation is more thrilling and demanding, and it is naturally difficult to build a stable trade route.

As a result, islands with inherently poor environmental conditions are difficult to develop.

Even if it can develop to a relatively prosperous level, it will be targeted by Yonko, who is king of New World.

After all, a site means a protection fee income.

The island where Maude is located is obviously not qualified to be seen by Yonko.

Maude followed the dusty road to the tavern only a hundred steps away from the port.

Next to the pub door.

Luo cried the ghost in his arms, leaned back against the wooden wall outside the tavern, and looked at Maude who came by.

“Is the old man reliable?”

“The tone is not small, it should be a bit of ability.”

Maude laughed.

Regardless of whether the old man at the port can repair the Underworld, they have no choice in their current situation.

Luo took out a newspaper from his shirt, his expression was a little dignified, and said, “I asked for a newspaper from the tavern. It was yesterday.”

“Why, we almost In the past few days when the ship was destroyed and killed, has there been any major event?”

Maude looked at Ronaldo’s solemn expression.

Luo threw the newspaper to Maude and said, “Read it for yourself.”

“…”

Maude caught the newspaper and spread it out directly Look.

The eye-catching headline is related to Marine.

“Did Sengoku abdicate…”

Maude glanced over the headline and looked at the headline.

Maude, who holds the intelligence of the future, is not very surprised by Sengoku’s abdication.

However, the reason for Sengoku’s abdication was not the defeat of the top war, but the fact that he attacked Mariejois to abduct Celestial Dragon and killed two Celestial Dragons.

“Akainu took over as Sengoku’s Fleet Admiral, precognition withdrew from Marine, and Issho uncle succeeded in Admiral…”

Although it was reported yesterday, the Marine Headquarters changed. But it happened a week ago.

And Marine Headquarters froze for a week before exploding this eye-popping news.

Maude groaned.

After the top war ended, some developments became different, and some developments quietly returned to the right track.

Without much thought, Maude continued to browse the newspaper.

Another section of the report content points to the news of Gura Gura no Mi.

“oh?”

Maude’s sight is immediately fixed on a photo.

The person in the photo is Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Wilgo.

But Maude knows that Vergo is Doflamingo’s spy in Marine.

“Gura Gura no Mi… was eaten by this guy.”

Maude eyes slightly narrowed.

Gura Gura no Mi, who was so red-eyed by countless people, finally appeared…

It’s just that the way it appeared was very unpleasant.

Luo looked at Maude and calmly said: “It happened that this guy ate Gura Gura no Mi, Maude, what are you going to do?”

Maude did not immediately answer Luo’s question. Instead, continue to read the newspaper.

Except for the huge changes in Marine Headquarters and Gura Gura no Mi’s report.

This newspaper issued yesterday also published several other explosive news…
