The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

Half a month later,

Chambord Islands,

"Shampoo Soap Park... It's a pity that things have changed."

Dover, wearing a sexy pink coat and a crisp black suit, stood under the island tree at No. 33 in Shampoo Land, looking at the bustling amusement park in front of him, feeling dazed for a moment.

"What's the matter, Dover?"

The long-blue-haired Baini Sarna held Dover's left arm and saw this expression on Dover's face for the first time.

"···nothing,"

Many years ago, Dover, who was still a child, and Rosie, who was being held in his arms, played in this playground.

In the blink of an eye, the two children have become strong men who are feared by countless people, and the innocent and kind couple are no longer here.

"Let's go, have a good time today!"

···

"Strictly speaking, this is not actually an island."

While Dover and Baini Sarna were enjoying their 'two-person world', Rosie in the back was giving a group of family members some knowledge about the island beneath their feet.

"Rather, it consists of a plant called 'Archmangrove,'"

"That means... we are standing on a group of 'trees'?"

Torebol raised his head and glanced at the lush greenery above his head. It was indeed a vast world filled with wonders.

"Yes, the Shampoo Islands are composed of a total of 79 largest mangroves in the world. The place we set foot on is the 'city' formed by the intertwining roots of these trees. At the same time - "

Rossi stretched out his hand and hooked it to the side, and a huge bubble that just emerged from the roots of the tree flew over.

Although it is just a superficial expression of domineering, it can already do many convenient things.

"These bubbles are special natural resins secreted by the roots of the Yarkman mangrove tree due to respiration. When exposed to air, they expand to form bubbles, which will continue to fly into the sky."

With a slight jump, Rosie sat directly on the bubble, crossed her legs, and her black coat fell down, making it look like she was floating in the air.

"On this island, bubbles are the most convenient means of transportation."

"But be careful: since the bubbles are only suitable for the climate range of the Argentine mangroves, once they leave the climate range of the Chambord Islands, the resin component will explode because it cannot fully exert its power."

After saying that, Rossi waved his hands to everyone, put his domineering back and center, sat on the bubble and floated out.

"I'm going to go around the island, and you and Dover can relax and play in the playground."

"Be safe and remember to travel in groups of three."

As for Rossi herself?

If he was as cautious as him and could be quietly brought down, then no one in the entire family would be able to resist.

----

"Let me think..."

An unknown black feathered coat, with a long knife hanging from his waist.

Sit on a bubble and fly through the air, shuttling between the Shampoo Islands.

Just Rossi's 'big boss' look is enough to scare away anyone he meets.

What's more, the reputation of the Don Quixote family as the 'Two Kings' has spread to the New World.It's not like the bounty hunters, pirates, and even marines hanging around in Xiangbo Land wouldn't be able to recognize him.

The journey was uneventful, and Rossi was not aimless. He was looking for someone.

Not Raleigh!

That guy Rayleigh should be eating and waiting to die in 'Xia Qi's Blackmail Bar' on Tree Island No. 13, and the owner Xia Qi... is also a legend.

Although she looks like a young woman who likes to smoke, she is actually in her 40s. She was a pirate 20 years ago and was chased around by Garp.Now Jinpen has washed his hands and opened a bar part-time to sell information.

Even after 20 years, this 'lady' Xia Qi is still as young as ever, which makes Rosie have to wonder if she has eaten some devil fruit that fixed her appearance?

Thinking too far...

Shaking his head, Rossi concentrated on dispersing his domineering aura.Street by street, island by island.

Although it also attracted the attention of some experts, most of them chose to ignore it after discovering that Rossi's knowledge was only glanced at.

"Logically speaking, it should be nearby..."

Rossi made a half-circle, searching for Tree Island No. 33, where the Shampoo Soap Bubble Park is located, to Tree Island No. 7.And his goal is:

Gilder Tezzolo!

In the future, he will create a maritime entertainment kingdom, and he is also the king of the giant ship 'Gran Tezoro'. He controls 20.00% of the world's Baileys. He is the richest man on the sea and is nicknamed the 'Golden Emperor'.

That's right, he is the 'future' person with the golden fruit ability.

And his golden fruit was snatched away from the 'auction' held by the Don Quixote family a few years later.

but--

"The Golden Fruit has been eaten by Diamanti, then... Tezzolo."

Just let me 'compensate' you,

I believe you will be happy to accept it.

After all, in the future, you will have the greatest wealth in the world, but you will not be able to buy back the one you love.The ten fingers are covered with rings, but the ring finger of the left hand is always empty.

Tree Island No. 2,

This place is adjacent to the slave auction on Tree Island No. 1... Ahem, no, it should be called the 'Talent Introduction Center'.

In short, the streets here are filled with various cages, and the people imprisoned in them are not ferocious animals, but people.

There are all kinds of people, including skilled craftsmen, captured pirates, beautiful women, and even handsome boys... and these are just 'ordinary' goods placed on the street. That’s all.

Inside those gorgeous shops, there are also strong fishmen, pure mermaids, tall half-giants, 'fur people' with various animal characteristics, and even 'little humans' that are only as big as a thumb...

As long as you have money, you can find even the most exotic 'goods'!

"Looking into the distance~

It's a pity that the scene is no longer bright~

Frustrated, disappointed~

Keep hiding~

The panic hidden in the crowd~

Germination, heat…”

Outside a cage, a young man with short gray-green hair was singing loudly.

It must be said that his magnetic voice performed the song "Caged Bird" very well, making the slaves locked in cages on this street listen quietly.

When the song ended, there was crackling applause from all around.

Even though they were slaves, everyone did not hesitate to praise this sunny young man.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

The young man put one hand on his chest, bowed to everyone around him, and finally knelt down on one knee, looking at the cage in front of him with clear eyes full of affection.

"Listen to me, Stella."

"Today I negotiated another deal. It turns out there are so many ways to make money..."

"Please give me a little more time. It won't take long before you can be free! Then, together we will..."

Build one of our own,

happy family!

Please be patient a little longer, my lover, this day will not be far away!

"Well, I believe you."

Locked in the cage was a beauty with long golden hair.

The thin blue dress could not hide her slim curves; of course, this was also the shop owner's way of 'showing off' the charm of the product.

Facing the promise of the young man with short gray-green hair and wearing cheap linen clothes outside the cage, the blonde beauty in the cage smiled slightly.

"As long as I can hear your singing, that is the happiest thing for me."

As for the others...the beauty named Stella has never had the extravagant hope.

She is just a 'commodity', and it is normal for her to be bought anytime.Even if the young people outside the prison work hard to make money, how can they possibly compare with the wealth of those big businessmen and nobles?

"Watch your body, Tezzolo."

The woman in the cage stretched out her hand to smooth the dark circles around the young man outside the cage, but was stopped by the collar around her neck. She only made a futile effort to pull the chain connected to the wall with a rattling sound.

"You don't have to fight for me. My fate has already been determined."

That is, one day it will be bought by a businessman or aristocrat who likes it.

"Only my heart will not be bought -"

However, most buyers don't care about the 'heart' of the product at all, what they want is the 'people'!

Just like the crowd strolling in now, and a series of flattering words.

"This way, please, Saint Fructu Oso."

"These are just ordinary goods, the real 'fine' ones are ready..."

The slave trader with his waist bent at ninety degrees and a charming smile on his face... No, the boss of the talent introduction center is leading the way.

A group of guards covered in plate armor, holding spears, and not even a trace of skin exposed opened the way. Under the protection of two black suits, they were wearing white swollen gowns, with Gill hairstyle that rose to the sky, and their heads were shrouded in 'fish tanks'. 'The man came slowly.

Who is a serious person with a fish tank on his head? In this world, only the Celestial Dragons would do that!

? !

'World Nobles···'

'It's a Celestial Dragon——'

A group of slaves in a cage communicated with each other with fearful eyes, not daring to move!Lower your head and try your best to reduce your presence.

Although they are all 'commodities', we can at least hope that the buyers will have some humanity and give them slightly better treatment.

But the Celestial Dragons won’t!

In the eyes of the Tianlong people, even ordinary people are not considered 'human beings', let alone slaves like them?

Falling into the hands of the Celestial Dragons, the only remaining question is when they will be tortured to death, which is definitely the ending that all slaves fear most.

none of them!

Oops···

The young man with short gray-green hair also changed his expression and immediately fell to his knees.

But worry about his lover behind him made him make a wrong decision——

He moved his body slightly, trying to cover the cage behind him.

"Um···?"

However, it was this small move that attracted the attention of the 'Dragon Man' who was wearing a 'fish tank' helmet and combing his hairstyle.

Snapped,

The footsteps stopped, and when a bad premonition arose in the young man with short gray-green hair, a commanding voice sounded:

"Bring me that blonde woman,"

Blonde woman?

Is it...

"Go away!"

Just as the gray-green short-haired young man kneeling on the ground suddenly shed cold sweat, a cold shout sounded in front of him, and at the same time an iron boot kicked out, knocking him aside mercilessly.

"what···"

The young man with short gray-green hair screamed in pain and just got up when he saw a desperate scene!

His lover, a blond beauty named Stella, was dragged out of the cage by the boss here like a dog, and then presented the chain to the Celestial Dragon holding the fish tank with a flattering look on his face.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

The young man didn't even care about the 'etiquette' that the Celestial Dragons had to kneel down when they saw it, and hurriedly got up and rushed forward.

"Boss, it was agreed that Stella will be left to me -"

brush,

Bang!

As soon as the figure flashed, a man in a black suit appeared in front of the young man with short gray-green hair. At the same time, his fist hit his abdomen mercilessly, instantly beating the young man into the shape of a shrimp!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The young man who fell to the ground clutched his stomach as if his intestines and stomach had been torn apart. His saliva and snot flowed down uncontrollably. There was only one thought left in his blank mind. :

Stella,

We must not let the Celestial Dragons take Stella away!

"Walk,"

However, for the fat, ugly Celestial Dragon, this was just an insignificant decision in his life.Turning around, he pulled the chain connected to the female slave's neck, thinking about how to 'tune' this toy when he got home.

"wait wait wait!"

"Asshole...bastard! You can't take Stella away!!"

The young man on the ground raised his head and tried to stop it with his last bit of strength.

? ?

For a moment, the whole street was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

crazy!

crazy! !

This is-

"Insulting a Celestial Dragon will be directly reduced to a slave according to the law."

The man in black suit who punched the young man turned his head indifferently and gave instructions to the armored guard next to him.

"Take it back, this is the property of 'Fluctu Oso Saint'."

"You...you——"

Before the young man holding his stomach could react, two iron-gloved hands grabbed his arms from the left and right and pressed him hard to the ground.

"Stella..."

Even at this time, the young man still tried hard to raise his head and look at his lover.

"thanks,"

The woman who was about to be dragged away had tears in her smile,

"With your kindness, I will be very happy."

With the pull of the chain, the blonde beauty named 'Stella' finally ushered in her destiny.

brush,

a flash of light,

"found it,"

In a dull voice, a black feather coat appeared on this slave street.The third-generation ghost in his hand just waved it lightly——

wow,

The chain of fate is broken.
