A wonderful adventure that begins with a pirate

Of course, people who go fishing at sea are related to the fish market. This is natural. In fact, Otis, who had learned the news from Irene, originally had this plan in mind, so after the fruit shop owner made this suggestion, Otis Dis then simply said goodbye to him and headed to the fish market.

"Of course you know, Anilu. He is very close to my house. If you really want to find him, I can take you there by the way when I go back after I finish my work here today."

This was the reply Otis got when he asked the third stall owner after arriving at the fish market. Things seemed to go more smoothly than expected.

Otis had nothing to do, his only and most important purpose was to follow Enelu and find the Thunder Fruit, so he didn't say much and just waited for him to finish as the stall owner said.

Of course, Otis would not wait dryly. The fish market was so busy. He turned left and right. He was able to pass the time, chatting with others, and seeing all kinds of novel and even weird aquatic products. It was much more interesting than watching people rushing into the sea in the video in his previous life.

After a brief walk around the fish market, half a day passed like this. When the stall owner who had made an appointment to take Otis to find someone saw him come back, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, Otis, what do you want to do with Enero?" What"

The stall owner's name is Matt. He is a rough man with a beard. Like his appearance, he is usually very carefree. Probably because of this, he is not as sensitive to Otis as the people he met before. Dis, a Qinghai native, has the best attitude.

"Are you looking for him?" Hearing the other party's question, Otis turned around and said, "Nothing, just a meeting."

Matt didn't believe it: "How is it possible that you have nothing to do?"

Otis smiled when he heard this and said, "It seems true that you have nothing to do."

He paused for a while and then asked: "You know I'm from Qinghai, right?"

"Of course, you Qinghai people look different from us, you can tell at a glance."

Otis nodded: "Then you must also know how dangerous it is for us Qinghai people to come to you from below, so you said, if we weren't so busy, how could anyone come to Bika?"

As soon as these words came out, Matt also knew that Otis was joking, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Indeed, you are a guy with nothing to do."

He laughed for a while, and couldn't help but feel that there was some truth to what he said, so he added: "So the Qinghai Pirates are really a bunch of idiots, haha."

Matt amused himself, and Otis couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. After laughing, he pretended to say: "You didn't include me in your sentence. I'm not crazy, and I don't want to be regarded as a Qinghai pirate. Then he was captured by your god team."

Matt laughed when he heard this and patted Otis on the shoulder, "Of course not. If I thought you were one of those bastards, I wouldn't have talked to you for so long."

He said this with a smile, and suddenly he was confused: "Then why did you take the risk to come to us? You are not a life-threatening bastard like pirates."

It does make people curious, and it's hard not to notice thick lines like Matt's.

As for such a question, Otis had actually already thought of his words, even specially prepared for Enel and the Thunder Fruit, but since he was being asked now, it didn't matter if he said it.

I saw Otis shrugging his shoulders at first: "So, I have nothing to do."

Then he formally explained: "Actually, this is really not a joke. I came here to verify and experience life in the sky."

Matt was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised: "Is that the reason why you are so serious?"

Otis seemed to smile smugly because of his surprise. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Of course it's not just that, there's one more thing by the way."

"What" Matt asked as he came to his senses.

In fact, he has already begun to assume that the key is behind the scenes, and feels that this is reasonable.

As expected, Otis said: "You can regard me as a tourist or adventurer, and then I can barely be regarded as a businessman."

"merchant"

Otis said naturally: "Skills and courage are of course necessary for travel and adventure, but you can't live without income for a long time. I'm not a pirate who can just rob, so I have to find a way to make some money myself. ”

Matt seemed to understand and guessed: "Reselling and price difference"

Otis nodded: "Because I will continue to adventure and travel to different places, so I can use and resell various local goods and specialties."

"That's true." Matt suddenly realized.

But he then asked: "But how do you go on an adventure alone without a boat and no one? Can you make money by bringing something by yourself?"

"There are a lot of troubles on the road alone, but it's not impossible to solve. After all, I'm still very strong." Otis smiled and gave Matt the answer to the first question, although the ambiguous reply was missing. How convincing the other party must be.

Then he answered the second question: "As for things, it depends on how you choose. For example, in your place, although certain fruits and fish from the White Sea are also specialties, they cannot be regarded as goods because the food is not good. It’s not convenient to store and take away, and the profit is still low, it’s the same with Shima Cloud and so on, but it’s different with Bei.”

I saw Otis taking out a cloud shell and saying: "It is unique in the sky and is small and portable. It is practical and has very special functions. As long as I come back down there, this kind of thing can easily be sold for a big price."

Hearing this, Matt was already nodding his head: "Indeed, if this is the case, even if you are the only one, you can make a lot of money by choosing Bei."

It can be seen that Matt has almost believed what Otis said, but this is not enough for Otis, because the real highlight is the final content.

"Of course, I have a lot of experience." Otis first accepted Matt's affirmation of himself, and then said, "But it's not a big deal. If you want to really make a fortune, you have to be a devil." fruit"

"Devil Fruit"

"Yes, do you know, this secret treasure of the sea?" Otis asked mysteriously.

Matt scratched his head: "I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't know much about it. I just know it's a magical fruit that seems to give people strange abilities."

Otis was not surprised by Matt's unconfident answer.

You must know that even in Qinghai, not everyone knows the information about Devil Fruit. Only on the Grand Line do more people know about it. As for the more isolated and backward places like the Four Seas, let alone seeing it with your own eyes, it is from There are many people who have never heard of it, and although Bika is included in the Grand Line, its geographical location at high altitude is quite isolated, so it is not surprising that people here only know about Scale Claw.

In fact, Otis, who had been in the clouds for more than a month, was sure of this before he thought of the whole story.

"To explain it simply, it's pretty much what you said." Otis first confirmed Matt's statement, and then turned back to explain his previous words to him. "But that's not the point. The point is, this The things are down there, that is, we in Qinghai have already fetched sky-high prices, and any Devil Fruit starts at 100 million Baileys."

"What?" Matt was shocked and asked with his eyes widened. "One hundred million beli is one trillion Egus coins so expensive?"

Otis nodded: "Yes, as long as it is a Devil Fruit, if you sell it, it will be at least 100 million. This is just the starting price. You must know that the value of Devil Fruit varies greatly due to different abilities, so if it is some known and capable It is normal for strong fruits to continue to multiply many times on this basis.”

"What a fucking exaggeration." Matt finally couldn't help but cursed because of the shocking news. He asked in disbelief, "This thing is so valuable. Although we have heard rumors and know that it is quite magical, we still don't know." I really didn’t take it seriously, after all, there have been so-called ability users who came to the island, but those who caused trouble two or three times, I heard in the end, were easily solved by the priests.”

Matt's reaction was very strong, which was exactly what Otis wanted. As for the information he revealed in the second half of his words, although it was a bit shocking, it did not surprise Otis.

After all, over the years, it is reasonable that there are some individuals with abilities among the pirates who have ascended to the sky, and it is normal for these people to run into obstacles in front of the priests who have mastered the code of mind, that is, the domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color.

Otis quickly connected in his mind, and his understanding of Bika became a little deeper, while Matt in front of him didn't think much, only a rather exciting mood under Otis' deliberate guidance.

Under the impact of the huge amount, Matt's face turned red. After taking a few breaths, he shook his head and said, "When you said that, I became curious and wanted to see what this thing looks like."

"You want to see what one trillion Egus coins look like," Otis said with a smile.

"You kid." Matt first pointed at Otis and cursed, and then laughed to himself, "But you're right, originally, who doesn't want to get rich? If things are like what you said, and then there is a devil fruit. In front of me, isn't that a lot of money falling from the sky?"
