One Piece Holy Lord System

"Devil Fruit?"

"Hahaha, Brother Bai Xiao is indeed well-informed. Yes, I do have a Devil Fruit here, and I plan to give it to you as a thank you gift."

Bartolomeo was very satisfied with the success in attracting Bai Xiao's attention and said with a smile on his face.

"It's true that I'm interested in devil fruits, but haven't you considered eating such a good thing yourself?"

"Uh, well, I've actually been hesitating about this for a long time, but I heard that eating that stuff will turn you into a landlubber. As a man, I don't want to be labeled as someone who can't swim."

"It's very difficult for me."

Speaking of this, Bartolomeo hurriedly added: "Of course, Brother Bai Xiao, you don't have to worry about it. Even if you don't plan to eat the Devil Fruit, this fruit can still be sold to the outside world. Find a reliable one." On the black market, you can earn a guaranteed 100 million beli.”

"Really, this is really a precious thank you gift."

Bai Xiao obviously didn't intend to refuse. If it was the fruit Bartolomeo took out, it was most likely to be the fruit with the ability of a 'rogue'.

Although Bai Xiao himself cannot obtain the ability of the Devil Fruit due to the Holy Lord System, there are many people who can eat the fruit.

"Haha, since big brother is interested, I'll go get it right now."

Bartolomeo quickly rushed to the room at the back of the tavern. Judging from his actions, the fruit happened to be hidden here.

After a moment, Bartolomeo turned back and found a locked black box in his hand. After opening it with the key, there was indeed a Devil Fruit placed inside.

The fruit is only slightly larger than an apple and has grape-like veins throughout.

Judging from the appearance of the fruit, Bai Xiao had no way of knowing what kind of fruit it was. After all, the number of devil fruits that had shown its shape in his memory was quite limited.

"This is my biggest trophy so far. Brother Bai Xiao, please accept it."

Bartolomeo handed the black box forward with both hands.

"I like this thing very much, so I won't say much more to be polite."

Bai Xiao was also very straightforward. It was rare for Bartolomeo to express friendship, and since it was such a high-quality thank you gift, refusing would only make him look like an idiot.

After accepting this unknown fruit, Bai Xiao stayed for a while. After drinking the wine to his heart's content, he stood up and said:

"Then don't bother me anymore, I still have things to do."

"Brother Bai Xiao, just go ahead and do it. I have a hunch that you will be a man who will make huge waves in this era."

Bartolomeo's face was full of respect, and he personally helped to observe the situation outside. After confirming that there were no problems, he let Bai Xiao leave.

As soon as he walked out of Bartolomeo's secret tavern, Bai Xiao went straight to the port west of Rogge Town. The Jueying was parked there. Nami was already waiting nearby, but most of the navy people had blocked it. the surrounding ports.

Based on Bai Xiao's understanding of Smoker, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily. No, it should be said that he has an almost crazy persistence and will never give up until he is found.

Whoosh.

A black shadow flashed, and two shadow ninjas suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xiao.

There is a unique connection between Bai Xiao and the Black Shadow Corps. Even if they are extremely far apart, they can exchange information with each other as long as they spend some time.

This black shadow ninja appears here because he was summoned by Bai Xiao.

"Eat it."

Bai Xiao opened the black box and took out the Devil Fruit. Sombra Ninja ate it without any hesitation. Devil Fruits were extremely unpalatable, but Sombra Ninja was never picky about his taste.

After eating the Devil Fruit, the Black Shadow Ninja's face did not change at all. This is not surprising. Ability users also need a little time to understand their own abilities, and then through a long period of development and strengthening to deeply explore the fruit's abilities.

Bai Xiao cannot eat the Devil Fruit, but the Black Shadow Ninja is completely unrestricted and is absolutely loyal to him, making him the perfect candidate to eat the fruit.

As for Nami? Bai Xiao didn't want to see this little thieving cat awakening to any strange abilities.

"Try following this gesture."

Bai Xiao demonstrated an action, and the shadow ninja immediately followed suit. He crossed his hands, with his middle and index fingers overlapping each other.

The moment the action is completed——

A smooth and flawless square transparent barrier suddenly appeared, with a width and height of three meters.

"It's true."

Bai Xiao was immediately convinced that Bartolomeo's thank you gift was indeed a barrier fruit, and the prerequisite for activating the fruit's ability was to make such a unique gesture.

Judging from the size of the barrier released by Sombra Ninja, the level is far inferior to Bartolomeo, let alone the previous fruit user Heitan Chanmaru.

This is not surprising, after all, it is just a preliminary grasp.

Generally speaking, after swallowing the fruit, fruit eaters can improve their abilities to a level in a relatively short period of time. This level can be regarded as the 'lower limit' of devil fruits.

Then comes the extremely arduous in-depth development process. The intensity of development depends entirely on the talent and efforts of the eater. Some gifted ability users can even use high-level techniques such as 'Devil Fruit Awakening' to complete the task. The sublimation of this fruit.

Regarding the talents and potential of the black shadow ninjas, Bai Xiao doesn't think there is anything to worry about. Their learning abilities are quite amazing, and as long as Bai Xiao finds more spells, he can upgrade them.

At this time, Bai Xiao raised his palm, the fiery red talisman was activated, and the explosive fire pillar suddenly shot out and landed on the barrier.

The barrier trembled slightly, and a large amount of smoke and dust flew up, but when the smoke and dust cleared, what Bai Xiao saw was that the barrier was intact.

This scene was not what Bai Xiao had expected. Even though the area of ​​the barrier that the Black Shadow Ninja could now deploy was limited, in terms of sturdiness, the starting point alone was already astonishingly strong.

"That's good news."

Looking at the black shadow in front of him, no, it should be called a 'barrier ninja', Bai Xiao was in a good mood. He turned his eyes and looked in the direction of the west port. The sky in the distance had already darkened and the rain was gradually falling.

There was a light drizzle at first, but soon it turned into a torrential rain, intertwining into a dense curtain of rain in Bai Xiao's field of vision. Pedestrians on the street held their heads and accelerated their pace under the sudden shower, and hid one after another. Go under the eaves, or run home in the rain.

The originally lively streets soon became empty. Bai Xiao rushed to the remote port in the west despite the wind and rain. Not long after he started his operation, the navy discovered his traces and quickly reported to Smoker through the phone bug. .

"The western port...just wait, you can't escape."

The Smoker engine car that received the call, amidst the hum of the engine, a burned out cigar swayed in the wind and rain in mid-air, and when it fell to the ground silently, the engine was already far away.
