The era of pirates

Chapter 12 The Conspiracy Under the Fruit
From time to time, there will be devil fruits for auction on the grand auction site of the Grand Desolo, and the price is usually around [-] million Baileys.

I don’t know what kind of abilities these devil fruits will gain after eating them. It may be the elemental system recognized as the strongest among the three systems, or the animal fruit Eudemons system that is rarer than the elemental system. Of course, it may also be Trash Superman Department or ordinary animals, in short, the gameplay is similar to opening a blind box.

However, for real experts, it is not difficult to judge the type and type of devil fruit.After all, there are three types of fruits of nature, animal and superhuman, and each devil fruit has its own unique shape.

Especially those devil fruits with special effects, or those that once belonged to a top powerhouse, even have special fruit albums left in the world.

For example, the transparent fruit that can unscrupulously peep into the women's bathroom, the dark fruit that has unique effects, and the dark beard that created the new emperor's black beard, and the surgical fruit that can make people live forever are all recorded in detail in the atlas.

Li Zhao would pay attention to these auctions from time to time, to see if he could be lucky enough to find a top prize, but it was a pity that the results were zero.

Later, through the identity of the top cadre, it was learned that the truly valuable devil fruit would not flow into this blind box auction at all.

Basically, the ones sold at the meeting were some ordinary animal-type and superhuman-type devil fruits that are recognized as relatively bad. Not to mention the phantom-type and element-type devil fruits will not appear at all, and even some of the more famous superhuman-type fruits will not appear. have.

Although there are no garbage fruits, there are only garbage users, but after all, each person can only have one fruit, and a person only has one chance in a lifetime, and Li Zhao has no interest in hoarding ordinary fruits.

"Looking at your appearance, you should know this fruit?"

"Ace's burning fruit, I don't think there are many people who don't know it."

After the initial shock, Li Zhao's head quickly recovered, and he roughly guessed what Tesoro was thinking.

"Boss, did you get this fruit and sell it to Doflamingo?"

"You're only half right. Doflamingo did order this fruit, but the deal isn't complete yet."

Tesoro took a deep puff on his cigar and continued, "Because I haven't received the money yet."

"So, I will not only escort it to Dressrosa and hand it over to Tian Yasha, but also be responsible for collecting the payment from the Pirate King, right?"

Li Zhao casually tossed the fruit worth billions of Berries in his hand, and the eyeballs of Baccarat, the goddess of luck, almost jumped out.

"That's right, are you sure you can complete this task? My 'top cadre', Mr. Bobby Fanku." Tesoro said meaningfully.

Li Zhao pondered for a while, and did not directly choose to accept or not, but asked, "So, what about my reward?"

".As much as you can come, it's your reward. What do you think?"

This time, not only the goddess of luck behind Tesoro opened her mouth, but even Li Zhao was taken aback. The Golden Emperor did not play cards according to common sense, but Li Zhao figured out the reason after a little thought.

Looking at the arrogant attitude of baby-5 and Rafalo just now, coupled with the domineering character of Tian Yasha and the good money of the golden Tesoro, this burning fruit with inestimable value, Doflamingo obviously has no intention of growing old. Pay honestly and according to market conditions.

Although the burning fruit does not have a clearly marked price like the operation fruit, the reward is 60 billion Berry, which is almost the combined worth of the two four emperors, but if it is put up for auction, how can such a famous element system like the burning fruit be worth it? It can also sell one billion eight hundred million.

There is no doubt about this.

In the original anime, Doflamingo held a martial arts tournament with burnt fruits as prizes, but almost all the masters from dozens of surrounding countries were attracted to Dressrosa.Just to fight for this fruit.

Although Doflamingo is the lord of a country, his ambition is too big, so there are many places to spend money, otherwise he would not be crazy enough to make underground deals with dangerous elements like Kaido the Beast.

Therefore, it is normal for him to treat a wealthy Kaizi like Golden Emperor Tesoro even if he asks the other party to give him free burning fruits. That Tian Yasha asked for [-] million to save face.

Although he had thought through these issues thoroughly, Li Zhao still didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he accepted the task gladly, and left Tesoro's resplendent and murderous reception room with the golden safe.

"My lord, do you really want to do this?" After Li Zhao left, Baccarat, the goddess of luck, immediately said cautiously to her boss: "Excuse me for being bold, I don't suggest you do this."

Tesoro smoked his cigar one after another, and said lazily, "What's the reason?"

"My lord, we still haven't found the elder brother of the killer brother, Kelly Fanku. He has a high probability of controlling the huge intelligence network that Bobby Fanku said. But what we know about the two brothers is There are very few, such as why he can master the "six forms" of the world government, whether he is a member of the Tianlong spy agency CP0, and we don't even know whether this Mr. Bobby is a fruit-capable person. There is no guarantee of your loyalty at all, and you just hand over the burning fruit to him, isn't it a bit too risky? What if he steals it himself."

"Hahahaha"

Tesoro laughed loudly and said: "You are right. To be honest, I also doubt that he is the mouse sent to me by CP0. It's just that he didn't care about exposing the fact that he is proficient in Six Styles. I intend to hide my little loyalty to me. Ordinary spies don’t seem to be so stupid. Forget it, whether he is a spy or not, you heard what Doflamingo’s two lackeys said just now. They I have already regarded the burning fruit as Doflamingo's property. If Bobby guards against it, it is equivalent to offending Doflamingo and me at the same time. No matter whether he is a spy or not, there will be no more threats in the future. Yes. Even if he loses the Shao Shao fruit on the way, I can explain to Doflamingo, after all, I sent one of my only four top cadres to serve as the escort officer. And"

At this time, Golden Emperor Tesoro finally revealed his true face, and said with an extremely sinister smile: "Besides, if this fruit can be snatched away on the way, that would be the best result for me." Don’t you? Bacala, help me contact the treasure hunter Mad Treger, and tell him to stop searching for the Golden Heart first, there is a fortune waiting for him.”
