The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Damn, is this the Grand Line?"

A pirate ship more than 30 meters long was swaying hard on the sea.

The sail was torn into tattered strips of cloth, barely patched together with sheets and clothes, and looked like some kind of abstract art.

There were many cracks on the side of the ship. Some places were barely fixed with wooden board nails, and some places were left with dark cracks exposed. You could even see pirates lying haphazardly inside through the cracks.

"Ahem, Captain, brothers can't stand it any longer."

The ship's doctor, who smelled of medicine, came over and whispered in the captain's ear.

"The drug reserve has bottomed out. If we can't find an island for repair..."

"Twenty comrades will be lost within a week."

Facing the conclusion given by the ship's doctor, the young captain irritably pulled off his tricorn hat, revealing a brown turban.

"what can I do?"

"Who knew the weather on this great route could be so bad -"

Raging storms, lightning and thunder, howling cold winds, and scorching sun... so many extreme weather conditions can occur in one day, invalidating all the so-called meteorological common sense and navigation experience.

Being able to persist until this point already shows how capable this pirate group is.

"Captain, there is a situation!"

The lookout at the top of the mast suddenly shouted:

"Island, there is an island ahead!!"

?

"Great,"

The young pirate wearing a turban looked happy and pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang.

"Brothers! Cheer up—"

"Ahead is the island: food, beds, wine... everything!!"

?

"Really, Captain..."

"Ahem, we're finally reaching the first island."

After hearing the morale-boosting words of the young captain, a group of bandaged pirates crawled out of the cabin. From their thick hands and feet, their previous occupations could be seen, and an abnormal blush appeared on their dark faces.

"Great!"

"Finally I can have a good meal and bask in the sun——"

"Wait, there is a situation!"

The lookout on the mast held the telescope and shouted again:

"There is a ship, a battleship, coming towards me!"

The pirates who climbed out of the cabin were stunned by the lookout hand's words, and the turbaned captain took out a monocular telescope and looked in the direction pointed by the lookout hand.

Sure enough, on the sea, a three-masted speedboat sailed straight towards them.

"Hmph, it's just a battleship -"

But standing on the observation deck of the mast, the observer who was also holding a telescope had already exclaimed:

"That's... the Double Dragon Flag, it's the Don Quixote family!!"

? !

The ordinary pirates on the deck looked confused, but the faces of the young captain and the ship's doctor beside him changed when they heard the name.

They are not the kind of reckless men who rush towards the great route with their heads down. They have done their homework before coming here.

The Don Quixote family is a newcomer to the "Pirates" who entered the Grand Line half a year ago. ——At least that’s what most pirates think.

But this 'newcomer' is so fierce!

As soon as he entered the Grand Line, he killed a 'Shichibukai' and occupied the territory belonging to that unlucky Shichibukai.

Singing all the way, he was about to reach the end of the first half of the great route: the Chambord Islands. He turned around and sorted out the route he had taken, firmly controlled several islands, and became a dominant force!

I don't know why, but the navy is actually indifferent to such a force.Doesn't it count as a pirate if he doesn't raise the skull and crossbones flag?

"dash forward!"

This information is only known to the 'core personnel' such as the captain, ship's doctor and lookout.

Ordinary pirates: Can the Don Quixote family be eaten?

They don't care who their opponent is. Anyway, if they can beat them, they will fight. If they can't beat them... they will die!

Swords and guns have no eyesight, and the aftermath of stray bullets will kill them, so why should they care about whether the other party is a master?

Just like the nobles who exploited them until they couldn't survive, they were eventually slaughtered like pigs under the sword of the captain... who was also the son of the hometown sheriff.

If you die, you will earn a living.

"Oooo!!"

"Kill them, log in and have fun——"

Amid the cries and howls of these pirates who had "transferred jobs" from fishermen, the injured pirate ship suddenly accelerated and sped towards the oncoming warship.

——Like two knights meeting on a narrow road,

---

"Is this a beggar's boat?"

On the patrol boat, Torebol glanced disdainfully at the pirate ship speeding towards this side. Such a broken ship... could only be dismantled and used as firewood.

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat,"

Next to him, Pique, who looked like a gentleman in a suit and floral scarf, lit a cigarette.

"Besides, it would be bad if the other party continues to wander along this route and hurts the family's transport ship."

"Hey hey, I'll leave it to you then."

Torrepol stepped back, making the large chair creak.

It must be said that the Grand Line is about 'nurturing people'. Torebol, who was originally only a little taller than ordinary people, has soared to nearly four meters in height.Under Rossi's supervision, his weight reached several hundred kilograms...

Fortunately, the outline of muscles was visible under the open coat, otherwise Rossi would have been trying to 'lose weight' again.

In this regard, Rossi once complained: It must be that the 'rays' of the Grand Line exceed the standard, causing all kinds of living things to grow freely.

"no problem,"

Torebol lay down and was lazy, and Pique was ready to take action.

First, squat down half-squat, support your hands on the deck, and make a catapult jump.

Bang!

call out--

The deck of the battleship suddenly rippled like water!And Peake had already leapt out, like a cannonball leaping towards the pirate ship on the opposite side.

"Follow up,"

As Peake flew away, the rippling deck returned to its original shape.

Torepol, who was lying in the sun, waved his hand, and the sailors immediately drove the patrol boat at their feet and galloped forward.

----

"That is···"

"No, it's a master!"

"Spread out and prepare for the impact——"

A figure flew towards them like a cannonball, causing the pirates on the deck to subconsciously scatter around and block their weapons in front of them, preparing to meet the impact of the opponent's falling.

poof,

But the strange thing is that the opponent landed on the deck of the pirate ship and did not smash through the deck forcefully, causing sawdust to fly!

Instead, it seemed to jump into the water, falling onto the deck with a thud, and even rippled in circles.

?

"This is···"

"Get out of the way, it's a person with abilities!"

The young captain strode over, and the long sword in his hand suddenly struck at the opponent with the roaring wind.

Clang!

However, the sword was blocked by an arm wearing a suit.

? !

"There is armor in the sleeves..."

The young captain jumped away quickly with a serious look on his face, while Peake, who emerged from the deck with his feet firmly on the ground, shook his head.

"Wrong, it's domineering."

Domineering?

what is that···

----

"Took three minutes and six seconds,"

When the patrol boat approached the pirate ship, the sailors on the patrol boat threw their hooks and hung them on the side of the pirate ship. They stepped on the side of the ship and pulled hard, forcing the two ships to come together.

Torepol, who was lying on the deck of the patrol boat basking in the sun, stood up. He could sense that the battle was over without looking at him.

"There is progress, keep up-"

"Torrey, it's time for you to practice your physical skills."

In response to Torrebol's 'praise', Pique reluctantly took out the cigarette with only the holder left in his mouth.

The Don Quixote family has been staying on the 'Fighting Beast Island' for almost half a year. The cadres have gradually begun to master the 'Informed Haki' and 'Armed Haki', and even cadres who have mastered the two Haki together have appeared.

But only Torebol, the Haki of the Hearing Color became stronger and stronger, but the Haki of the Armed Color showed no signs of movement.

On the opposite side of him is Vergo, whose armed color domineering power can cover his whole body, but when he sees the color...

"Ahem, as long as I react quickly enough, I can avoid the enemy's attack."

Torrebol awkwardly changed the subject,

"What is the background of the guy caught this time?"

"I don't know, maybe it's an unknown person with no bounty."

"you···"

Lying on the ground with his sword broken in two, the young captain's vision went dark.

How can you say that you are also a 'master' with a bounty of 3000 million, but in the eyes of the other party, there are only three words: 'I don't know'?

----

Fighting Beast Island,

In the huge Colosseum.

"Well, it's 'Sea Swordsman' Camille with a bounty of 3000 million."

Rossi looked through the reward list in his hand and finally found the face of the young pirate captain in front of him at the bottom.

"You can't tell, but he is still a swordsman who can cut iron."

In the navy's internal bounty order, this Kamil's evaluation is pretty good: although he also robs, at least he does not take the initiative to hurt others, and he is already considered a rare 'good guy' among the pirates.

"It's a pity that since you chose this path of plunder, you should have expected this day."

"This island belongs to our 'Don Quixote family'. Now, I give you two ways:"

Rossi put away the wanted poster in his hand,

"First, we will send him to the naval base to receive 3000 million beli."

However, going to Impel Down to eat in prison for life;

"Second, stay on this island and use your labor to repay the mistakes you made."

There is still a chance to correct evil and return to righteousness.

···

"What will happen to my mates...the crew?"

Facing Rossi's sentence, the restrained young captain did not answer. Instead, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"They will also be burdened with a certain amount of labor. After 3 to 5 years, as long as they do not continue to cause trouble, they can join the island ruled by our family as civilians."

Faced with this answer, the young captain took a deep look at Rossi.

"I hope you will do what you say,"

Originally, in the young pirate captain's opinion, he was doomed.

Most of his companions who escaped from the same village as him worked as coolies until they died!

But it’s just 3 to 5 years of hard labor?

Is it true or deception...

"Ha, are you questioning our Don Quixote family?!"

Of course Rossi didn't care, but Diamanti next to him was unhappy. He reached out and grabbed a gorgeous golden sword, wanting to teach the guy in front of him a lesson.

"Forget it, who can say clearly about the future of this world?"

Reaching out to stop Diamanti's movement, Rossi looked at the pirate captain in front of him who had a fairly positive reputation.

"As long as I am alive, I don't want to see my territory invaded by pirates. - As long as they work hard, the residents here can be safe, have enough food and clothing, and don't have to worry about being shot while walking on the street. "

"That's all."

Rossi put away the wanted notice. Of course, there are many scum in this world who pursue notoriety after going to sea, burning, killing and looting.But there are also many poor people who have been forced into desperation by the corrupt Celestial Dragons and nobles.

Labor is the last chance given to them,

It's up to them to choose whether to become a new human being or go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

----

"Rosie,"

"Analyze, what happened to that Pirate King?"

After finishing the matter, Dover, who was sitting in the main seat of the Colosseum, couldn't help but ask questions.

More than half a year has passed. The Don Quixote family has blocked the 'Fighting Beast Island' and sent countless pirate groups who chose this route to prison or to stay as coolies.

But as each day passes,

Even the calm-minded Dover couldn't help but start to doubt:

The 'Pirate King' Roger who has never shown up has really been killed, right?

"I'm analyzing a ghost..."

Rossi rolled his eyes at this.

I’ve already told you that Roger went back to his hometown to get married and spend his honeymoon, but you don’t believe it!

"But it should be almost done."

"The memory of the sea has 'time'. If the 'Pirate King' still does not show up, then not only his scenery will be forgotten by everyone. Even the existence of the 'Final Island' will be doubted by everyone, so..."

Roger, he should surrender to the navy soon, right?
