One Piece: Arrival on Sky Island at the beginning

Drum Kingdom.

The soldiers of the entire Drum Kingdom got busy and started knocking on the door one by one.

The villagers who were knocked on the door by the vicious soldiers were shocked at first, but they relaxed when they learned that the purpose of these soldiers' coming was to ask if they had any medical books and information at home.

As a major medical country on the Great Line, most people in the Drum Kingdom know some medical skills, so they also retain some medical information.

These books are not worth much to them.

So, in order not to get into trouble, everyone obediently handed over the books at home.

From noon to when the sun was about to set in the evening, a large warehouse of books had been piled up at the port of the Drum Kingdom.

But even so, compared to the hill next to it, which had as much gold as the hills, these books and materials looked quite shabby.

According to the pirate's request, the surrounding villagers were called over to sort the books into categories and remove duplicates.

This is not an easy project, but the villagers are very enthusiastic.

Firstly, it is obviously much easier than working, and secondly, there is still money to be paid, so the villagers have no reason to refuse.

Everyone was doing it enthusiastically, but one person was getting more and more anxious.

The young Prince Valpo watched helplessly as the books in a warehouse began to become less and less as everyone sorted them into categories and eliminated duplicate books. Sweat kept falling on his anxious face.

"It can't be... If this goes on, my gold... Jess... Chromamon, please find a way for me..."

The man named Jace is a man with wavy thick lips like a circus clown, long arms, and a bow and arrow on his back. He is Valpo's staff officer.

The man named Cromarimon is a man with an afro and boxing gloves. He is Valpo's affairs officer.

Today was a complete surprise for the two of them.

As Valpo's personal guards, the two of them can be said to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Originally, because of the existence of the eldest prince Musulu, the two of them did not have much expectations for their future.

After all, a country can only have one king. As long as the eldest prince Musulu is there, Valpo cannot become the king, and the two of them can only exist as idle officials.

But just today, good news came. The eldest prince Musulu was killed by pirates, and the second prince Valpo became the king's only son.

This means that it is certain that their master Valpo will become the future king of the Drum Kingdom.

And they will achieve enlightenment one by one, ascend to heaven like chickens and dogs, and control the power and wealth of the entire kingdom.

So, after knowing the news, the two people ran anxiously from the palace and came to Valpo to serve him and please him.

Hearing his master's question, Jace said anxiously to please.

"Don't worry, Prince Valpo, I will ask the soldiers to try their best to get what the pirates want."

Cromarimon, who was like a boxer, said with some disdain after hearing this.

"How much are those useless books worth? Even if they were piled together, they wouldn't be worth 20 billion berries..."

"Aren't there still Devil Fruits... and that famous sword!!!"

Jace said tit for tat.

After hearing this, Cromarimon showed a strange smile on his face and said to Valpo.

"Your Highness, do you really want to hand over the Devil Fruit to those pirates?"

Valpo looked at his men in a daze and asked.

"Cromarimon, what do you mean?"

Chromamon immediately said pointedly.

"Those are Devil Fruits, Prince Valpo. One fruit is worth at least 1 million berries, and three is worth at least 8 million berries. If you get it at an auction house, it can be sold for at least million berries. ..”

Valpo's eyes widened immediately. He really didn't expect that these Devil Fruits were as precious as gold.

At this time, Cromarimon said even more.

"Even if we don't exchange it for money, we can eat it ourselves. Prince Valpo, have you forgotten? His Majesty's captain of the bodyguard, Dalton, is a Devil Fruit user. Prince, you have seen his power... .”

As soon as these words came out, Valpo didn't have much reaction.

After all, as a prince, he has always been domineering and not so eager for power, but Jace next to him immediately looked at Chroma Mon with bright eyes.

At this moment, the two reached a consensus silently.

"Yes, Your Highness, Dalton has always been against you. Now, with His Majesty the King here, he may still listen to you. But if His Majesty the King dies and Dalton wants to rebel, we can't stop him. Live him..."

As soon as Jace's words came out, Valpo really felt a sense of crisis. You know, since he was a child, Dalton often spoke ill of his son in front of the king, and the two of them often opposed each other.

"Then what should we do?"

Looking at the helpless Valpo, Chromamon finally revealed his purpose.

"We can eat Devil Fruits ourselves, Your Highness. Of the three Devil Fruits, you will naturally eat the strongest one, but the other two can be given to us. When we master the power of Devil Fruits, the entire magnetic field will be destroyed." No one in the Drum Kingdom will dare to oppose you."

After hearing Chromamon's words, Valpo immediately danced with joy.

"Yes... Chromamon, you are right..."

But soon, he became sad again.

"But in this case, those gold..."

At this time, Jace's eyes suddenly brightened and he said.

"Prince Valpo, I have a way to get you gold without giving anything to the pirate. Maybe you can make more than a billion beli..."

Valpo looked at Jace with wide eyes and asked anxiously.

"What can you do, please tell me..."

"It's very simple, Prince Valpo, they are pirates, and they are pirates for whom the World Government and the Navy are offering bounties. If we tell the World Government and the Navy about their traces, and they are caught by the Navy, wouldn't the gold be yours? Have you? Moreover, their bounty is 1.42 billion Berry. If we help the World Government and Navy catch them, why should the World Government and Navy give us part of the bounty?"

At this moment, Valpo's face was filled with happy smiles.

"That's great, Jess... Your idea is great... But my father will definitely not agree to the call bug who contacted the World Government..."

"It doesn't matter, Prince Valpo, don't forget, there is a navy branch next to our Drum Kingdom. As long as we find a way to notify them, it will be fine."

"Yes...yes...but do you have a phone bug from the Navy branch..."

"This...is available...but it's strange. No matter how I call, the phone bug doesn't respond..."

At this time, Chromamon, who had never interrupted, volunteered and spoke.

"Prince Valpo, I request to go to sea for you and inform the surrounding navies of this news..."

Seeing this, Jace also spoke anxiously.

"I can do that too, Your Highness."

"Great, then you go out now...tell the navy around to catch them...By the way, be sure to negotiate the bounty first..."

"Don't worry, Prince Valpo, we won't let you down..."

Both of them had happy smiles on their faces. There was no way they could not be greedy for some of the bounty.

For the pirate group with 1.42 billion berries, even if the Navy is only willing to give half of it, it would still be 700 million berries. Then the two of them would each take away 100 million. Isn't it very reasonable!

So, the three of them sneaked to the soldiers stationed at the port. As a prince, Valpo forced the soldiers to dispatch a warship.

As the sun set, Valpo excitedly watched the warship gradually go away. His heart was filled with the joy of getting gold and bounty, and the smile appeared on his face again.

But just when he turned around and was about to go back...

Above the sea, a loud explosion resounded throughout the Drum Kingdom...
