The gourmet among pirates

What's such a coincidence?

Robin was a little confused.

Mo Lin smiled but didn't explain, and there were some things that he couldn't explain.

Could he still tell her that he was a time traveler who had traveled from a certain world?

Looking at Peter Parker's information, and the Spider Fruit, the Devil Fruit in the form of the Black Widow.

Maureen said to Robin: "Interesting, in that case, let's tentatively designate Peter Parker as the user of this animal-type, spider-fruit, and black-widow form fruit!"

When Nicole Robin heard this, a trace of thought flashed through her shining eyes.

Just giving a Devil Fruit quota in this way, does this Peter Parker have some unknown relationship with the Governor.

In the past few years, Molin had seen Robin's lost look more than once.

But he didn't bother to explain anything.

Walked a short distance again.

Lieutenant Colonel Buddy, standing upright, appeared at the entrance of the gate below the Fortress of the End.

"Governor..."

Buddy, who had just given a military salute to Molin, before he could say anything, Molin interrupted: "Buddy, you came just in time, I was just looking for you. Come on, come in with me."

With that said, Molin pulled Buddy and entered the "Final" Fortress together.

Go straight through the first, second, and third floors of the "Final" Fortress...and then.

Molin, Buddy, Robin, Taoyao, Ace, Fujitora and other core senior officials of the Fortress of the End gathered in Molin's large office in the center of the fifth floor of the Fortress of the End.

Oh.

This time there is one more Kurokas.

At the end of the crowd, Ace looked at Kurokas with a wary expression.

After a while, when he saw that Kurokas didn't leave at all, he couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Teacher, who is this old man?"

"He!"

Mo Lin glanced at Kurokas, and then said: "He is Kurokas, the lampkeeper of Twin Gorges, and also the top doctor in the world. I invited him over to teach Taoyao medical skills. of."

"Doctor, did you teach sister Taoyao medical skills?"

Ace was slightly startled when he heard this, but after learning the identity of Culokas's top doctor, most of his inexplicable hostility towards him dissipated.

The strong in this world are respected.

People will always be more tolerant of those who are truly capable.

Even Ace is no exception.

Therefore, although he already felt that the old man Kurokas was a bit weird, his tolerance for Kurokas was a little higher.

It's normal for a capable guy to have a few quirks.

Of course, the premise is that Kurokas doesn't offend him.

But Molin's next words caused Ace's attitude towards Kurokas to change again.

"Of course, he also has the identity of being a former crew member of your bastard father. The reason why he agreed to come here this time is actually because he wants to meet you. Well, in order to draw him over, I will share your identity with you. He said, Ace, you won’t mind..."

After saying that, Maureen looked at Ace with an apologetic look.

Ace: "······"

[I said I mind, teacher, will you send this old man away? And why did your apologetic look last for less than three seconds before disappearing. 】

Ace originally thought that he would be very angry when he heard that his beloved teacher had sold him.

But for some reason, Ace seemed to feel that he had nothing to be curious about.

[Forget it, the teacher is also doing it for Sister Taoyao. Sister Taoyao is usually so kind to me, so just think it is for Sister Taoyao. If you are sold once, you will be sold once! 】

After gritting his teeth, he glared at his teacher.

Ace comforted himself a few words in his mind.

Then he silently made up his mind to go to the cafeteria later and wipe out the entire Neptune class banquet that Sister Robin asked the cafeteria to prepare specially for the teacher.

Not even a drop of water is left for his teacher.

······

On the other side, Kurokas frowned a little when he heard Molin directly reveal his identity, and also glanced at the other people in the room warily.

At the same time, he cursed Mo Lin in his heart.

[Damn, is this guy an idiot? Ace's identity is a secret among secrets. He said in public that he was Ace's father's crew member. If Ace's identity was exposed, wouldn't everything be over? 】

Molin glanced at Kurokas's wary eyes and knew what he was thinking.

Of course, he wouldn't talk about Ace's identity casually in front of others.

But after getting along with each other for several years, they also experienced the Celestial Dragon Incident in Marie Joa.

Taoyao, Robin, Buddy, Ace and him had long established an indescribable trust.

They have long become Mo Lin's trusted companions.

Of course, he is also Ace's trusted partner.

Moreover, after several years of getting along day and night, they may have already guessed about Ace's identity. After all, Ace is usually very carefree and has no precautions against them.

There are things that should be said and things that should not be said, but a lot has been said.

As for Fujitora, I smile.

This kind of domineering power can break through the atmosphere and capture monsters like meteorites in space.

If he really wants to hear something, can he not hear it even if he is not in this room?

Fortunately, Mo Lin still has full trust in Fujitora Yixiao's character.

Moreover, he seems to have a good relationship with Ace.

Mo Lin said this in front of him this time, which was actually part of his attempt to test Fujitora.

Maureen never thought that Ace would hide his identity for the rest of his life and live in the shadow of Gol D. Roger.

Sooner or later, Maureen would let Ace uncover the shadow that had been hanging over him.

Face yourself.

······

After Maureen revealed Kurokas's identity.

Ace didn't know what he was thinking. After coming over for a while, he gritted his teeth and walked up to Kurokas and said to Kurokas:

"Hey, old man, can we talk alone?"

Let’s talk alone?

This was what Kurokas wanted, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

After agreeing, Kurokas followed Ace out of Molin's office, and went to have a quiet chat somewhere.

Ace pulled Kurokas away.

Maureen didn't say anything.

······

He turned around and patted Buddy on the shoulder, pointed behind Fujitora, the big mahogany box made by Taoyao using the fruit ability, and said: "Buddy, come on, there are seven Devil Fruits in here. You can choose your own." Which one do you like?"

"Seven...seven devil fruits???"

Buddy didn't even hear what Morin said after that, and was immediately shocked by the number of seven devil fruits.

"Well, that's right, seven..."

Animal Department·Bird Fruit·Goshawk Form.

Animal type·Bear fruit·Bear form.

Animal **** fruit·husky form.

Animal type·Snake fruit·Bamboo leaf green form.

Animal type·worm fruit·dung beetle form.

Superman type·Net fruit.

Superman type·Steel Fruit.

·······

It took Buddy a while to recover from the shock.

In the end, he followed Mo Lin's suggestion and chose the superhuman steel fruit.

After letting Taoyao take out the steel body fruit.

Buddy's eyes were red.

Buddy, who knew nothing about Devil Fruits for a long time, knew very well how precious this Devil Fruit was.

It can be said that even if you sell him, you can't afford this devil fruit.

But Morin didn't say anything and gave the Devil Fruit to himself.

This kindness moved Buddy extremely.

"Governor, I..."

Snapped.

Mo Lin directly patted Buddy's shoulder hard, gritted his teeth to hold back the strong desire to devour, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to become stronger, eat quickly. If you don't eat, I want to eat it!!!" "

Robin heard this and said strangely: "Mr. Governor, haven't you already been a Devil Fruit user? Why do you still want to eat this..."

Mo Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You also know my appetite."

Robin frowned immediately after hearing this and said: "According to records, no one has ever been able to obtain two devil fruit abilities at the same time. If a person with devil fruit abilities takes a devil fruit again, his body will burst and die. Some scholars speculate that it is two devil fruits. It’s caused by the conflict of abilities within the Devil Fruit user’s body.”

"Governor, your appetite is dangerous!" Robin said seriously.

Hearing this, other people also looked at Mo Lin.

Taoyao even showed a worried look.

No wonder!

No wonder Maureen asked me to create a completely sealed box to store devil fruits, so that's it.

Faced with everyone's concerns and worries, Mo Lin himself had nothing to worry about.

Because he himself knows his situation.

If you are really a Devil Fruit user, it will indeed be very dangerous. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I am a Devil Fruit user now.

After silently complaining about myself in my heart.

Maureen patted Buddy on the back again and urged: "Look, if you are really worried about me, just eat quickly!"

"what!!"

Buddy was patted again by Maureen.

After reacting, he didn't hesitate, picked up the devil fruit, and bit into it without even peeling it.

The Devil Fruit had just entered his mouth, and Buddy looked moved just now.

His face turned ugly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

vomit·····

The bad taste, which was worse than shit, wildly stimulated Buddy's taste buds and stomach.

Buddy almost spit out the Devil Fruit in his mouth.

"Gudong!"

Buddy, who had difficulty swallowing his first bite of Devil Fruit, looked pale.

That look on his face was even worse than eating Xiang.

Although he had heard that Devil Fruit tasted extremely bad, Buddy didn't expect it to be so hard to swallow.

Looking at the remaining devil fruit in his hand.

A flash of determination flashed in Buddy's eyes, and then he quickly swallowed the remaining Devil Fruit, including the flesh and skin.

Although there are rumors that as long as you take a bite of a Devil Fruit, you can gain its abilities.

But is taking one bite really the same as eating an entire Devil Fruit?

Buddy didn't know and didn't want to gamble.

Therefore, Buddy did not dare to waste any of this extremely precious Devil Fruit.

What's wrong with it? It tastes like shit.

Has he ever eaten something unpleasant?

This little thing can't hit Buddy.

Don't say it's not shit, even if it's really a piece of shit, he will eat it without hesitation as long as it makes him stronger.

······

Looking at Buddy who had eaten all the Devil Fruit, a hint of approval flashed across Maureen's face.

Then he poured a glass of water with his own hands and handed it to Buddy.

"Here, water!"

Several people present had eaten Devil Fruit, and they all knew the terrible taste.

After receiving the water from Maureen, Buddy drank it in one gulp.

"call!"

After exhaling a breath with a "flavor", Buddy smiled bitterly and said: "This thing is really unpalatable!"

The moment Buddy exhaled.

Mo Lin, Taoyao, Robin, and Fujitora quietly moved their steps to be three feet away from Buddy.

Robin even used his fruit power to silently open all the windows in the office.

After smiling bitterly, Buddy raised his head and was shocked to find out.

Mo Lin, Taoyao, Robin, and Fujitora all leaned against the window at some point.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are going too far!"

·······

After some laughter, Buddy went to the bathroom in Molin's office to clean his breath.

When he appeared in front of Molin and the others again, Buddy could already turn his right arm into an iron wall.

Looking at Buddy's silver-white metallic arm, Molin smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

"I don't know how to put it this way, but I feel that I am stronger than ever at this moment!"

·······

ten minutes later.

In the training ground of the Fortress of the End.

Buddy, who could turn half of his body into steel, was ruthlessly blasted away by Mo Lin again.

Buddy rolled around on the ground several times.

Not only was he not discouraged at all, but he shouted excitedly: "Come again!"

"it is good!"

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

Half an hour later, Molin looked at Buddy, who was collapsed on the training ground, sweating profusely and panting, and asked:

"Do you want to come again?"

Buddy, who was struggling to sit up from the training ground, smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not coming. I have no strength at all now. I didn't expect that using the ability of the fruit to turn myself into steel would give me such good physical strength. After persisting for half an hour, I ran out of energy. I usually train for half an hour without panting."

Mo Lin smiled when he heard this and said: "It's normal. Using the Devil Fruit ability doesn't consume anything at all."

"You have just taken the Devil Fruit, and you can use it in battle for half an hour. It is already very good. Once you become more familiar with it, you will be able to last longer. Next, you can do more physical training. "

"By the way, you need to be more proficient in the ability of the Steel Fruit, and strive to make your whole body steel as soon as possible. In this way, your strength and survivability will be greatly improved."
