The gourmet among pirates

After hearing this, Mo Lin, who had his legs crossed, couldn't help but sit up a little straighter in surprise.

The tavern owner smiled: "What's so surprising about this? The New World is the place where Devil Fruits are most concentrated. Although it was a bit of a fluke that I got this Devil Fruit, it's nothing at all."

"Of course, I will not hide something like Devil Fruit openly in a tavern. After Mr. Morin agrees to exchange it, I will have to send someone to take it out before giving it to the Governor."

As if he was a little worried about Mo Linqi's intention to kill people and get goods, the tavern owner Po'er specially added a sentence at the end.

After hearing the boss's hidden meaning, Mo Lin didn't pay attention and simply nodded in agreement.

Although Devil Fruit has a market value of 100 million beli, most of the time it is often expensive but not available.

There are actually very few people who can endure the temptation of becoming an esper and hide or sell devil fruits.

In this world, only some big forces, or organizations that specialize in selling Devil Fruits, have Devil Fruits left.

Even when Maureen wanted to buy Buddy a reliable Devil Fruit, it took a long time.

The total bounties on the criminals on the first floor of the tavern may exceed 100 million Baileys, but in Molin's eyes, none of the Devil Fruits are important, not even the weakest animal-type Devil Fruits. .

Thinking of this, Mo Lin nodded and agreed to the deal: "I agree to exchange the devil fruit. Then tell me what ability that devil fruit has!"

The tavern owner Po'er shook his head, "I don't know the specific abilities."

Mo Lin just raised his eyebrows, and the tavern owner Po Er quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I really don't know what kind of devil fruit this is. Although there are things like devil fruit illustrations in this world, that thing is not like me. The only thing I can be sure of is that a small person can see it, this is a superhuman Devil Fruit."

"Superman Devil Fruit?"

Mo Lin looked at the tavern owner quietly for a long time before retracting his gaze.

He wasn't sure if the tavern owner was lying to him, but Molin was sure that this guy was definitely hiding something.

He can determine the general type of Devil Fruit, but does he really know nothing about that Devil Fruit?

Even if he doesn't know, he still can't use the power behind it to find out what kind of devil fruit this devil fruit is?

However, even if he hides something, Morin will not give up a devil fruit he obtained.

"Forget it, hurry up and get the Devil Fruit, and I'll leave quickly. By the way, since you can open a tavern of this nature, you must be running an intelligence business. Tell me about the recent news of the Whitebeard Pirates. whereabouts."

"Where is the Whitebeard Pirates? No problem, I can tell you this now."

The tavern owner nodded, took out a shit-colored phone bug from his crotch, and after making a call, he spoke a bunch of code words that Mo Lin couldn't understand to the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone.

Then, without any nonsense, he directly told Mo Lin the information about the Whitebeard Pirates.

"As far as I know, a conflict broke out between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beast Pirates some time ago. If Kaido hadn't stayed alone and bought time for the Beast Pirates to retreat, The Beast Pirates are expected to lose their numbers due to the three major disasters.”

Hearing this, Mo Lin asked curiously: "What happened in the end? Was Kaido the Beast killed by Whitebeard?"

"How is it possible?" the tavern owner said in surprise: "Although Kaido of the Hundred Beasts is not Whitebeard's opponent, he is also a Yonko. How could he die so easily? If he was killed so easily, there would be no immortal Kaido." So many titles.”

"Oh!"

After sighing in disappointment, Maureen sat back again.

He thought that his arrival would bring some changes to the situation where the Four Pirate Emperors and the Shichibukai coexisted, but he didn't expect that in the end, the world would still look like a bird.

The Yonko are still the same Yonko.

Kaido was not beaten to death by Whitebeard because of this accident.

Seeing Mo Lin sit back in disappointment, the tavern owner Po'er looked confused.

Kaido Kaido was not killed by Whitebeard, why are you so disappointed?

But there were some things that the boss wisely didn’t ask.

"After beating Kaido of the Beasts to a pulp and escaping with a bruised nose and face, the Whitebeard Pirates cleaned up all the pirates who had not escaped due to various accidents. They plundered a large number of the Beasts Pirates. Wealth, the Whitebeard Pirates should be on their way back now."

As he said that, the tavern owner took out a huge sea map from the corner of the room and circled several places on the map.

"This morning, I just received information that the Whitebeard Pirates have passed through White Sand Island. Judging from the current route of the Whitebeard Pirates, they will pass through Huangmen Island, Dark Moon Island, Ice and Snow Island, and then return to To the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, Absinthe Island..."

Through the introduction by the tavern owner, Morin had a certain understanding of the Whitebeard Pirates' next route. Of course, this was on the premise that the Whitebeard Pirates did not change their route.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!

"Boss, I got the stuff back."

The tavern owner, who had finished speaking, heard this voice and said directly: "Come in!"

Under Molin's gaze, a lean, monkey-like man took out a red box from the black hat on his head, handed it to the tavern owner Pall, and quickly retreated. Go down.

As soon as he got the thing, Lao Pole's expression changed instantly.

The weight is wrong.

As a professional, he knew exactly how much the box in front of him weighed when he hid it.

But now, the fruit has become lighter.

After quickly checking the box, Pall found that the sealant around the box showed no signs of damage, and the multiple locks that he had closed personally showed no signs of damage.

Po'er, who looked ugly, took off his shoes, took out three keys from the hidden compartment on the soles, pointed them at the locks and opened them.

He opened the red box directly, but after the scene in the red box came into Pall's eyes, he was so angry that his blood pressure rose rapidly, and he almost died of anger.

"Is this... something happened?"

Maureen, who was lying on the sofa, raised her eyebrows, got up and walked over.

As soon as she walked in, Molin noticed a green figure among the luxurious red boxes.

A small green insect was lying on a pile of silk stained with black rot, resting leisurely. This insect was very courageous. After the box was opened, it didn't seem to be afraid at all.

From the appearance, this is just a very ordinary caterpillar that can be seen everywhere, commonly known as cabbage worm.

This caterpillar looked malnourished at first glance. It seemed that it had been hungry for a long time and was several times smaller than any caterpillars Mo Lin had ever seen before.

"Insect... Insect!"

Pall, the owner of the tavern, looked at the green worm in the center of the box, his eyes were red, and his deep hatred seemed to want to burn the worm to death.

After taking a look at the empty box and the green worm with a strange aura.

Mo Lin had a strange expression on his face and glanced at Lao Pole with sympathy.

After a while, Mo Lin couldn't hold it back anymore and asked Lao Pole.

"When you... stored the Devil Fruit, didn't you check whether there were any insect eggs on the Devil Fruit?"

Although I didn't see what happened with my own eyes, I looked at the box and saw the frightened red caterpillar and the stains that were obviously caused by fruit rot.

Mo Lin could guess what happened.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, the caterpillar that ate the devil fruit. 】

Molin didn't know if the greenworm in front of him was the first bug to eat a Devil Fruit since ancient times (there are so many Devil Fruits in the world, it must be the first time a bug has eaten a Devil Fruit), but it was Molin. The first animal I saw that ate a devil fruit.

Thinking about it, Mo Lin swallowed unconsciously.

[Animals that eat Devil Fruits. I haven’t eaten this magical existence yet. I don’t know if there will be anything special after eating it. 】

Thinking of this, Mo Lin looked at Qingworm and his eyes began to look evil.

As if feeling Mo Lin's malicious gaze, the head of the caterpillar in the box shifted from Old Pole, who wanted to kill it, to Mo Lin for a few seconds, but soon it moved again. His eyes turned back.

After all, compared to the old Pole who was so angry that he couldn't speak, Mo Lin's intention to kill the caterpillars was definitely not as serious as Pole's.

······

An hour later, after receiving a bounty of 130 million Baileys from Old Pole, Molin left the "Port Country" Farnes.

Since the Devil Fruit that Lao Pole wanted to trade with Mo Lin was caught first by a small insect, naturally the transaction between him and Mo Lin could not continue.

After getting the Bailey that Lao Pole took out his old capital and saved.

Molin took out the permanent pointer that he had just received from Old Pole as a companion, pointing at the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates - Absinthe Island, and flew straight out of the city.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to taste the bug in the end."

Mo Lin, who was flying in the air on the moon steps, clicked his mouth.

Suddenly, he felt an itch on his back. Molin stretched out his hand to scratch it, and unknowingly he scratched out a soft, skinny, seemingly malnourished little caterpillar.

"Hey, isn't this the bug in the tavern? When did it run into me?"

Putting the caterpillar in his hand in front of his eyes, and after carefully identifying it, Maureen discovered that this insect was the caterpillar he saw in the tavern, the one that ate the devil fruit.

"Hey, is this food delivered to your door?"

Thinking of this, Mo Lin picked up the caterpillar and wanted to put it into his mouth.

What's wrong with the bugs? It's not like Maureen has never eaten them.

Thinking of eating a bug alive and chewing it into a soft, chewy texture that explodes with just a little force, Maureen couldn't wait to try the taste of this Devil Fruit ability bug.

In order to ensure the original flavor and prevent loss of nutrients, Mo Lin even skips the process of pinching off the head and tail.

When Maureen opened her mouth wide and tried to put the caterpillar into her mouth, she seemed to feel the danger of death.

Subconsciously, a pool of dark green liquid was produced.

"Holy shit, is this urine??"

After seeing the pool of unknown liquid, Mo Lin instantly threw the caterpillar into the sky and tilted his head to avoid the pool of unknown liquid.

Maureen could accept eating bugs raw because a man who stood at the top of the food chain in his previous life once said that if you pinch off the head and tail of bugs and stuff them into your mouth, they are all meat.

The protein content is still twenty times that of chicken.

But being able to accept eating bugs raw does not mean that Maureen can accept eating bugs' feces and urine.

This is not the same concept at all.

The former is a ruthless person, and the latter is a pervert.

"Dry!"

Mo Lin avoided the puddle of caterpillar urine, but because the distance was too close, the small puddle of caterpillar urine "weeded" on the hilt of the Onitsuru sword at Mo Lin's waist.

"Yeah, I escaped the pee, but I didn't expect you to get wet."

When Molin took out a small Bailey and planned to wipe off the dark green liquid on the hilt of Guite's sword, he found that the liquid was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye in Molin's field of vision, and was Guite absorbed it.

"Boom!!!"

After absorbing this pool of liquid, Gui Che, who had been nourished by Mo Lin's domineering air for many years, actually let out a sword cry.

From the sound of the sword, Mo Lin seemed to hear a kind of joy, a feeling of... dissatisfaction with desire.

Heck.

After being "nourished" by this insect, Gui Te was also "nourished" by urine, was he addicted?

With strange thoughts, Morin drew his sword out of its sheath, wanting to see if Guite was contaminated by something weird.

But when Mo Lin's hand touched Gui Che's scabbard again, his expression changed instantly.

"how is this possible?"

"Guite's strength has actually increased."

As his favorite sword, which he has worn for the longest time and which he personally crafted into a black sword, Mo Lin knows Kitetsu very well.

Even the slightest difference was as obvious to Mo Lin as a speck of red among the greenery.

"Not only has the strength of the Kite sword been increased, but the level of armament and domineering it can accommodate has also been increased."

"This sword seems to be able to hold more armed domineering energy."

After trying to penetrate a pure armed color Haki into the sword body of Oni Tetsu according to the method of making a black sword, Morin found that the amount of armed Haki that Oni Che could hold actually increased.

Is this change the dark green "pee"?

Thinking of this, Mo Lin's heart moved.

After stepping hard with his feet, he stepped on the air explosion and directly caught the green insect that was thrown away by him, and then pressed it on the blade of Gui Tetsu's sword.

It doesn’t matter whether this caterpillar can understand it or not.

He said directly to it: "I don't care if you understand it or not, give me a little more of what you just made on the sword, otherwise, I will eat you directly."
