The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Careless,"

After the Eight Treasure Marines and the others left, Rossi touched his chin.

"I didn't expect that there is such a skill as 'lip reading'... In other words, they have 'overheard' a lot of our previous conversations, right?"

Fortunately, the other party is from Xihai and has no conflict of interest with the Don Quixote family in Beihai.

This was also the reason why the other party chose to tell Rossi about this weakness before leaving.

Anyone with abilities is more or less confident in their abilities, even Rossi.

After eating the 'Silence Fruit', Rossi used the fruit's ability to block sounds, never expecting the possibility of being 'eavesdropped'.

"The skill of reading the content of a conversation from the movements of the lips—"

In the hall, everyone was sitting or standing in a circle, and Vergo's eyes under his sunglasses scanned other people's faces.

"I can do it too!"

···

"That's because we know each other very well and can guess what the other person is going to say next."

Rosie rubbed her temples helplessly.

"Although you can use the 'Seeing and Hearing Haki' warning at the same time, if you encounter a master or a person with abilities, you may not be able to sense it."

In fact, given Rossi's cautious character, he has kept the Haki on almost all the time since he mastered it.Although it consumes a lot of energy, it can be regarded as a kind of 'exercise'.

Even so, he was not aware of the Babao Navy's 'eavesdropping' because the other party had an 'insect-like' animal devil fruit user whose excellent eyesight could covertly observe everyone's movements.

"Hey, hey, isn't this simple?"

Torrepolpi smiled, his teeth clenched, his lips moved, and a slightly muffled sound came out of his mouth.

"As long as you do this while speaking, you can circumvent the other person's 'lip reading' skills."

"...Well, theoretically yes."

Rossi first affirmed Torebol's proposal.

but--

"Are we going to have to gnash our teeth when we speak from now on?"

Not to mention the inconvenience, this look almost says "I am a miscellaneous fish" written on my face.

"Gradius, tell me."

Rossi turned to signal Gladius who raised his hand to speak.

"Brothers,"

Gladius, who was only five years old, lowered his arms and

"If covering your face can prevent eavesdropping, wouldn't it be enough to wear a mask?"

···

"It's not impossible, it's just——"

Rossi turned around in his mind and imagined all the members of the Don Quixote family wearing masks.

Those who knew it said it was a 'family characteristic', but those who didn't knew it thought it was a new crown from another world...

"How about a mask?"

Qiao La waved her hand, and various exquisite dance masks appeared in her hand.

If you wear this when you go out, you are not a member of the Cowherd Group...

"Forget it, I choose to practice domineering hard."

At the end of the discussion, Rossi decided to continue to strengthen the practice of seeing and hearing. As long as the seeing and hearing were strong enough, no one would be able to spy on his conversation.

"Fufufu, when discussing secrets in the future, pay attention to your surroundings."

Dover didn't want to wear a mask, nor did he want to speak through gritted teeth. ——Then from now on, let’s develop the habit of spreading silk threads as a covert detection method.

"I'd better get a mask,"

As a child, Gladius paid special attention to the interests of the 'family'.

"If you accidentally leak the information, you will be the sinner of the family!"

"Everyone should be more careful when discussing things from now on. Sideways techniques like 'lip reading' will not be common."

"In the next period of time, the most important thing for the family is to focus on training——"

As he spoke, Rossi looked around.

"Have you all seen the true power of a strong man?"

nod! X9

In the previous battle at the Palace of Parada, Monkey D. Dragon was whipping up the sea with howling winds, Sao Feng who was so domineering and indestructible, and so fast that no one could catch him, and even Vince, who was wearing high-tech equipment. Mok Gajji...

None of these strong men with different styles can compete with the current Don Quixote family.

Even the 'weakest' Vinsmoke Gaji can easily defeat anyone in the family.

The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation.

His battle suit made of 'memory metal' can withstand the domineering attack of the pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions without any damage. If he hadn't encountered the ceiling of Monkey D. Dragon, his defeat would not have been so ugly.

"Coupled with the fact that we obtained Sao Feng's 'Baqi' training manual and the three days of guidance promised by Long, the improvement in training has surpassed that of fighting at sea."

In the past, there was no information or famous teachers, so we could only break through and become stronger through fighting.

Now that there are conditions, it is natural to stop development.

"That's right, it's time to settle down."

Torebol nodded like a green onion. This time when he went out, he encountered powerful people from all walks of life that opened his eyes.All of them were as strong as monsters. The battle in the palace was like a natural disaster, which made him feel a little afraid in his heart.

"What's the point of fighting frequently? We are still young, take your time..."

"Tore, double your training volume."

? !

Facing the suddenly petrified Torebol, Rossi rolled his eyes.

"We are indeed still young, but the enemy will not let us go just because of our age."

The 'Battle of Adwal' has ended. Although I don't know why Sengoku and Garp intervened, the Roger Pirates retreated completely and the Golden Lion Pirates escaped with severe injuries. However, the result is different from the original timeline. 'almost.

Then, the next step is that the dying Roger 'borrowed' Kozuki Oden from Whitebeard, preparing to seize 'ONEPIECE' and become the Pirate King!

Although Rossi wanted to go to 'Raff Drew' to see what made everyone in the Roger Pirates laugh, but his strength obviously did not allow it.

——If Rossi remembers correctly, Douglas Barrett soon left because Gol D. Roger was terminally ill and worried that he would not be able to fulfill his oath. After failing to challenge Roger, he became famous as a newcomer.

Then he met Shah Crocodile and had a big fight with no winner...

Lao Sha at this period must be a strong man who is skilled in dual domineering!In terms of age, he is only five or six years older than Rossi and others, so:

"If you don't work hard, you will be 'abandoned' by the times!"

Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime.

"Okay, a thousand push-ups, a thousand squats, a thousand..."

Vergo walked to the side and put his hands on the ground.

"If you can't do that, just run around the town of Spidamayruz ten times!"

"I'll accompany you."

With a shrill voice, Pika fell to the ground, and the hall trembled with a bang, and everyone was shaken.

"Two big brothers, I'm coming too—"

Gladius, who had short light blue hair, also joined the sweating team.

"Uh hahaha, just continue with this basic training, I'm going to the factory to 'break steel'."

Diamanti is older and her body is almost fully developed. What she needs to practice is her skills. Cutting iron with a sword every day in the Don Quixote family's factory is like a human steel rolling mill!

It can exercise and produce.

"Compared with now, CP's training volume is just like playing house..."

Pique also took off his scarf and took off his suit, revealing his well-proportioned muscles.

It's not that CP still pays attention to 'humanized' exercises, but because the upper limit of ordinary people's talents is insufficient, excessive exercise will only be counterproductive.

"Then, I'll prepare salt water, medicine, and supplementary food."

Jorah is in charge of both medicine and food in the family. There are so many combatants anyway, and she doesn't care if she is missing one.

"Bani Sharna, follow me."

The girl with long light blue hair left, and among the enthusiastic iron-playing team, Torebol was the only one who looked at the sky speechlessly.

"This is different from the life I imagined..."

It's more like Gym Mania than The Dark Family.

The port town of Butreg,

While Rossi and others were developing with peace of mind, the situation in Beihai was also quietly changing.

This port city, which was once invaded by Rossi and others, instantly fell into chaos due to the withdrawal of the Vinsmoke family.Fortunately, because the 'pirate' connection in the North Sea suffered two losses, no one has come to attack the city yet.

However: the plundered city was already short of food and clothing, and many merchants died in the aftermath of the battlefield at Pelada Palace, causing shipping in the entire North Sea to almost come to a standstill.

If the city lacks transportation, it will soon turn into a huge stone and wood coffin. Fishing, hunting and a few surrounding farms cannot satisfy the lives of tens of thousands of people.

If there are no accidents, someone will soon take risks.Driving a ship out to sea, then raising the skull and crossbones flag in hunger and thirst, and becoming a scumbag who burned, killed, and plundered.

Anyway, they no longer have their hometown or relatives... What else can restrain their inner beastly desires?

Fortunately,

Before this happened, a huge merchant ship without any flag sailed into the port.

"Thank you very much for your assistance,"

He looked away from the huge merchant ship that was anchored in the port and was unloading a large amount of food.

The man with bloody bandages wrapped around his body and wearing a tattered military uniform took a step forward and was about to kneel down to the figure in dark green robes in front of him.

The country has been destroyed, the city has been destroyed, and now the refugees here have nothing to trade with except themselves.

Compared with life, the so-called 'dignity' is worthless!

"No need to bow down to me,"

The man in dark green robe raised his hand, and a gentle breeze lifted the bandaged soldier in front of him.

"I'm not your 'king', I'm just looking for like-minded partners."

Lifting the hood, revealing a serious face without eyebrows, Monkey D. Long's voice was mixed in the wind, rolling out in all directions, and clearly falling into everyone's ears.

"Everyone—"

"You work hard, you work seriously, your profession is farmers, fishermen, workers, soldiers... and all you want is a stable life, without killing or sorrow."

The breeze lifted the dragon, making his figure appear in everyone's eyes at the same time.

"Such a wish is difficult to realize in this world!"

"A large number of pirates, enemy troops, greedy nobles, bullies and powerful..."

Long's gaze swept across the faces of each one, regardless of gender, age or child, with confusion and expectation in their eyes. ——But even these people don’t know what they are expecting.

For ordinary people, meeting a powerful king is the luckiest thing.

Even if this kingdom is cruel and unkind, it can at least protect them from dying at the hands of pirates and enemy soldiers.

Totland, established by future 'Big Mom' Charlotte Lingling, must surrender one month of her life every six months as a fee for BigMom's protection, which still attracts countless people.

In this world, if a country is not protected by a strong person, even living to the age of 30 is a luxury.

"It's all because the 'rules' of this world are wrong!!"

"I personally saw the so-called 'Celestial Dragons' in the Holy Land of Mariejoia,"

? !

Under the horrified gazes of these ordinary people, Long continued speaking without fear.

"Celestial Dragons are human beings too, they will also get old, sick and die!"

"They are not invincible, and the 'rules' they set are not correct. The tragedy that happened to you was caused by them!"

"The world government levied high amounts of heavenly gold to deal with pirates, causing a large number of countries that could not make ends meet to go bankrupt. People in bankrupt countries became pirates and plundered everywhere, making life in more countries even worse..."

"In this constant consumption, the dragons and nobles will always dominate. This is wrong!"

After saying that, the dragon suspended in the air opened his arms, overflowing with domineering power.

"Workers of all countries, unite!"

"for freedom--"
