I really don't want to be the pirate king

The Xuanwu warship left the Blue Flame Islands, crossed the vast sea, arrived at Femor, and docked on the coast. A large number of people immediately got off the ship and carried things on the coast into the ship.

"Mr. Lafitte."

A figure walked to the shore, put the cigar into his mouth, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome."

"Mr. Palmer, we meet again." Lafitte held his hand with a smile on his face.

"This time there are thirty artillery pieces in total."

Palmer looked at the big guy being carried onto the ship and said: "It's all made of fine iron. It has a large caliber, a long range, and high accuracy. The ammunition is powerful and not easy to damage. It can be said to be a high-quality product. But the output is too small. , I can only raise thirty artillery pieces for you in three months."

"Compared with the artillery used by naval warships, I wonder which one is better?" Lafitte asked curiously.

"Compared with the navy's latest artillery, we are indeed a little behind."

Palmer said with a smile, "But compared with the artillery installed on most battleships, we are not inferior."

This is the most advanced artillery produced by the Don Quixote family arsenal. They are the largest arms dealers themselves, and they also have the fruits of weapons. They often improve artillery weapons to reach a higher level.

"enough."

Lafitte said: "We are only arming the Xuanwu and conducting defense on the coast."

"In addition to the artillery, there are twenty long guns, forty short guns, and corresponding ammunition. We can only get so much goods for the time being."

Palmer took a puff of his cigar and added, "Of course, there are also two types of shell-loaded ammunition, totaling four thousand rounds."

"enough."

Lafitte said, "What about the last thing we want?"

"Found it for you too."

Palmer clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought a box and handed it to Lafitte.

"Another Devil Fruit!"

In the castle, Aaron took the box. After opening it, a blue oval fruit appeared inside, with complex patterns carved on it.

"Two hundred million Baileys."

Lafitte said: "He asked for [-] million Baileys for this fruit alone, and the total purchase amount this time has reached [-] million Baileys."

"money is not a problem."

Aaron picked up the fruit, looked at it and said: "In the past six months, we have gradually taken over the industry, and our profits have continued to grow. Our monthly profit exceeds one billion Baileys. What I am more worried about now is who will eat this fruit. .”

"Based on seniority..."

Caitlin put down the bullet and said: "The fruit should be given to Brian. He joined us in the West Sea and usually completes your mission with all his heart."

"Yes, regardless of merit or qualifications, this fruit belongs to him."

Aaron nodded, and then said: "But his strength is a bit weak, and it will be difficult for him to exert his full ability."

It has been three years since Brian joined the pirate group, and his strength has improved slowly. If the strength is measured by bounty, it is only between 500 million and 2000 million beli, which is the lowest level in the pirate group.

Moreover, he is almost 40 years old, has average talent, and will have limited growth in the future.

Give him the fruit and you can use some of your strength.

"In the pirate group, there are not many people who are stronger than him and haven't eaten the fruit."

Lafitte said: "Jack, Ashley, Swader, Faerenburger and Delvin are roughly on the same level as him. Oh, yes, and Caitlin, you haven't eaten the fruit yet."

"I use firearms to fight, and there are very few people whose abilities match mine."

Caitlin held the spear and said, "If I eat it, it will be a waste, so I might as well give it to others."

"Sward is a fish-man, and he has extraordinary fighting ability underwater. He suffers more than he loses."

Lafitte said: "Jack and Ashley are stronger than Brian, but their qualifications are relatively junior, and their strength is not that big of a gap."

"Ashley is actually pretty good."

Caitlin said: "I have been working with her for a while. She is serious in work, generous in character, and has a sense of justice. Moreover, her strength is good, much higher than the bounty. She has a breakthrough when fighting me, and she is young. The talent is also better.”

"You think highly of her and can put her on the list."

Aaron nodded, and then said: "But I thought of one person, Plante."

"Almost forgot about him."

Lafitte said: "He is very strong, at least I am not sure that I can defeat him in a head-on battle."

Plant's strength is very strong, and when converted into a bounty, it can reach about [-] million beli. If he is given another suitable ability, then he will have no problem dealing with the Vice Admiral.

So Aaron called him, but Plante refused, "A year ago, I might have eaten the fruit, which would have helped me become stronger and allowed me to take revenge on Kalopos. But now If so, forget it, I don’t want to become a landlubber.

Now that Plant has successfully taken revenge and obtained a legal identity, he no longer has any thoughts of becoming stronger.

"He rejected it."

Aaron put down the receiver and looked at the fruit. Two figures appeared in his mind, Ashley and Brian.

The former is stronger and more talented, but the latter is more loyal and has a deeper relationship with him.

How to make a decision?

"Boss, you are looking for me!"

Brian entered Aaron's study, and his eyes were immediately attracted to the fruits on the table. When he realized something, his expression became excited.

"We recently made a deal with Palmer to purchase arms and devil fruits."

Aaron smiled and said: "This fruit costs a full [-] million beli, and I plan to give it to you."

Brian's combat power may be relatively weak, but he is very capable. He is good at dealing with gangsters and can control the villains. He has done well in the wine business and flower street that he has entrusted to him.

Giving him fruits to increase his strength can increase his prestige and intimidate his subordinates.

"Thank you boss."

Brian looked extremely excited. He yearned for the fruit very much because he discovered his own limitations and it was difficult for him to make any big breakthroughs in strength.

If you eat a devil fruit and find the right ability, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds.

Animal type is best, but other abilities will work too.

"Then just eat it."

Aaron grabbed the fruit and handed it to Brian.

"it is good."

Brian stepped forward and took it with both hands. Just as he was about to eat it, he realized something and said, "Is this fruit a waste for me?"

"Why do you say that?" Aaron looked at him.

"I'm so weak, I won't get much stronger even if I eat the fruit."

Brian looked hesitant and said: "Why don't you give this fruit to others, it can help the pirate group become stronger."

"Brian, you have been with me since Xihai. You have done a lot for me and always fulfilled my requests with excellence. Moreover, you work hard and never complain, never seeking credit, and putting the team first."

Aaron smiled and said: "I see all this, so how can I treat you badly? This fruit is given to you as a reward for all your efforts."

"Boss."

Hearing this, Brian was a little moved. It turned out that everything he did was seen by him.

Brian no longer hesitated and took the fruit, intending to eat the fruit, work hard to develop it, use the fruit to become stronger, and do better things for the captain.

He opened his mouth, bit off the pulp, chewed it twice and swallowed it, and quickly swallowed a piece of fruit.

"belch."

Brian stood there, burped, and then his face contorted.

"what happened?"

Aaron looked at him, smiled and asked, "What is the power of the fruit?"

"me……"

Before Brian could finish speaking, he started coughing violently and kept retching.

Aaron was confused, what kind of fruit was this and why did it hurt him so much?

After a while, Brian calmed down and said with a sad face: "Boss Aaron, this is the sniffing fruit. After eating it, you can get a super sense of smell and can smell more smells, even small smells. I can smell it clearly. So now I smell dozens of smells, and it’s particularly uncomfortable now.”

"So it's just an increased sense of smell?"

Aaron's expression became angry, "What kind of broken fruit is this? You dare to ask me for two hundred million beli just for this?"

This fruit is completely useless for improving combat power, and it will also affect combat power in a short period of time.

"I didn't know what the fruit was capable of until I ate it."

Instead, Brian comforted him and said, "I can only say that I have bad luck."

do not know?

Others don't know, but the fruit in Palmer's hand comes from the Don Quixote family. The latter has a fruit illustration. How come they don't know what the fruit's power is?

No one wanted such a piece of shitty fruit, even 1000 million beli, but it actually cost me [-] million.

Aaron will not simply accept this boring loss, and must find a way to make up for it.
