The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Huh...huh..."

"These guys... stopped?"

In the sea of ​​blood below the castle, the sixth daughter Charlotte Custard, who was dizzy from exhaustion and almost out of strength, supported her body with her long sword and barely raised her head to look above the ruined castle.

As for Charlotte Moscato, the 16th son who was weaker than her, the moment the blood puppet stopped, the breath she was holding disappeared and she collapsed in the sea of ​​blood on the spot.

Unfortunately, neither of them could see the situation above the castle as they were surrounded by blood puppets, so they could only pin their hopes on their second brother, Katakuri.

At this time, Katakuri also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far in front of him was Bram Stoker, a user with the ability of the 'Door Fruit' who fell to the ground, his swords missing, and covering his abdominal wound.

"Ha, I saved a life."

Facing Katakuri who stopped, the man covered in wounds smiled mockingly to himself, but there was regret in his smile.

Not for himself, as the former captain of the bodyguard of the 'Piercing Duke' and now the housekeeper, he has long been very open-minded about his own life.What he regrets is:

"Elizabeth..."

Facing his 'lover' who had just been resurrected and kidnapped, the middle-aged Accardo looked complicated.

If he gives up resistance and falls into the hands of the white-robed assassin (Rossi) and the second son of the Charlotte family, it is almost equivalent to falling into the hands of the Golden Lion and BIGMOM, and the end will never be happy.

And if he continued to fight... First of all, he was not sure of defeating the white-robed assassin.Secondly, the newly resurrected 'Elizabeth' will definitely not survive.

For Rossi, the domineering energy in her body has been exhausted. If she continues to fight... she may have to call Tani to "turn into the wind" and leave here.

As for Katakuri, although his condition is slightly better, in the sea of ​​blood below, his two younger siblings can no longer even stand up. If the fight continues, they will definitely die!

All parties were worried, and for a while, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

"Are you considering giving up on this woman?"

In this silence, Gary, the good girl with cat ears who held the lady hostage, spoke first, leaving everyone present stunned.

"Acardo the Impaler, your country was destroyed many years ago. Your story has been spread across the sea for decades."

"So this woman is a copy of your former lover 'Elizabeth'?"

? !

Hey, hey, hey, you shouldn’t say this now, right?

Rosie was startled under the hood, and quickly raised his brows at the cat-eared girl, as if he was acting according to his expression. However, because of the hood made by Jorah, others could only see his chin. Mysterious.

"No...it's not a replica, it's a resurrection..."

Accardo, who covered the entire island with the power of one man and waved his hand with thousands of troops, suddenly turned pale and forced himself to speak:

"Stop lying!"

But the cat-eared girl Gary interrupted him directly,

"She is just an individual who is based on your memory and uses the 'brain chip' to embody the person in your heart!"

"Even if that person just doesn't have any basis in reality, it's the same as a figment of imagination. So what you created is just an illusion, a beautiful fake vase, just a beautiful fantasy in your mind."

？ ！！

At this time, not only Rossi, but Katakuri who was still calm was shocked.

If Akkado goes crazy, the younger siblings below who have separated will die soon...?

"Bram Stoker!"

Before Aka, who was also shocked, could say anything, the cat-eared girl turned to look at the embarrassed man next to her who was wearing strips of noble lace.

"You were once the captain of the Impaler's bodyguard. Please tell me about Elizabeth's character flaws."

"Ah...ah...this?"

"Say!"

As the titanium alloy knife in the cat-eared girl's hand was pressed against the noble lady's neck, the captain of the guard subconsciously raised his hands and spoke quickly.

"I said, I said!"

"Mrs. Elizabeth... Well, sometimes she can be a little willful. For example, because she witnessed animals being slaughtered in the kitchen, she stubbornly asked the entire court to only eat cake..."

"Also...also, one time the guard reported that people in the slums couldn't eat bread, and the lady curiously asked why they didn't eat cake..."

"Although Madam likes to read and collect classics, she just... takes a look at it casually, and most books will not be read a second time..."

"No, that's not the case..."

Just when Accardo was denying it in his heart, the noble lady had already said this to Elizabeth.

Her face was pale, and the tears in her eyes could not help but fall.

"I don't have such memories, I'm not such a person..."

"Of course you didn't,"

The cat-eared girl Gary looked at Accardo, whose face was pale and without a trace of blood, and his whole body was shaking.

"These are the memories that belong to 'Accardo,'"

"If it is a real person, it must have the shortcomings of a real person, such as unruliness, willfulness, jealousy, suspicion, etc..."

"But you don't, because you are a 'copy' born from Accardo's memory. You will rely on him, you will obey him, you will always be loyal to him, never betray him, and you are willing to give everything for him—— "

After saying that, the cat-eared girl pointed at the sea of ​​blood below.

"The proof is here!"

"According to rumors, 'Elizabeth' is extremely afraid of blood and will faint from fear just by seeing blood!"

"However, you are not afraid of blood, and you are not even afraid of corpses, because 'The Impaler' Accardo hopes so..."

"enough!!!!"

Acardo, with a distorted face, stared at the cat-eared girl, the scarlet red in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to take your blood and make it-"

"That's really sorry, I didn't know that 'vampires' don't even spare engine oil."

?

Facing the furious Accardo, the cat-eared girl just calmly swung the knife in her hand, causing the former "Piercing Man" to subconsciously take a step, and then stop abruptly.

"It's just a 'replica', why are you so angry?"

"As long as you find my 'father', he can make countless 'Elizabeths' for you. It's not worth getting excited at all, right?"

···

"She is right, dear... Mr. Accardo."

The eyes of the beauty who was held hostage dimmed.

"Although 'I' was resurrected by you and have the name 'Elizabeth', my memories...are almost all of the time I lived with you, even the captain of the guard——"

The beauty turned her head and glanced at Bram Stoker, who was smiling wryly next to her.

"I was supposed to 'know' him, but I couldn't recall the past with him at all. So:"

The elegant beauty looked at Accardo and smiled sadly.

"You don't need to embarrass me,"

While saying this, this classical beauty stepped back step by step.

"I am not 'Elizabeth', and I do not wish to be your constraint, Your Majesty."

???

"Stop!!"

Unknowingly, the classical beauty had retreated to the edge of the city wall, behind which was a city wall dozens of meters high!

Perhaps for the masters present, this is not just a 'small obstacle' to jump over, but for the classical beauties, it is a desperate situation where they will be shattered into pieces.

"don't want--"

"Goodbye,"

From the two voices that sounded almost in tandem, the classical beauty who had just been 'resurrected' fell backwards, and her white dress spread out like flowers.

The pupils of the middle man named Accardo shrank to a point in an instant, and he subconsciously rushed out, reaching out to grab the falling figure.

This is my castle, can I save—? !

"Ghost Slayer·Breaking!"

A long black knife struck fiercely from the side, blocking Accardo's charge.

Pfft! !

The long knife instantly cut across Accardo's outstretched arm, causing his hand and his lover to fall downward at the same time, and then disappeared from sight.

"Do not!!!"

Disturbed by Rossi's intense dominance, Accardo had no time to use his abilities and watched helplessly as his lover fell and disappeared.And with Elizabeth's physique...he didn't even dare to use his knowledge and color to find out.

"Ahhhh, piercing -"

brush,

Pfft! !

A large number of spikes of blood suddenly stabbed out, but Rossi's figure was no longer where he was.

"very good···"

Accardo, who had broken one arm, lowered his head, his bright red pupils shining brightly under his long gray hair.

"Everyone is going to die, there will be no survivors here, including me!!"

"You care so much about the 'copy' you made—"

Pfft! !

A bloody javelin shot toward the cat-eared girl, interrupting her next words.

"She's not a replica, she's Elizabeth!"

When she disobeyed Accardo's 'order' and was willing to jump back for Accardo, she already had her own 'soul'.No longer a copy of anyone, but a living being.

"That's good,"

Facing the arrogant Accardo, the cat-eared girl breathed a sigh of relief.

? !

call--

With the sound of flapping wings, a pair of dragon wings flew out from under the city wall.

Next is Tani holding a classic beauty!

"This this···"

With rage still on his face, Accardo stared at the tearful beauty in stunned silence and subconsciously reached out his hand.

"Dear!" X2

Throwing the classical beauty in her hand forward, Tani, with a look of disgust on her face, fell next to Rosie and tilted her head to look over.

"Don't look at me. This is what Miss Gary meant. I'm just doing a favor."

As he spoke, Rosie took a small snail off his shoulder.

There is no doubt that this is a 'phone bug', but it is much smaller than normal, and it is also equipped with a pair of small mechanical wings on its shell.

It was through this thing that the cat-eared girl Gary asked everyone present to help her "act in a play".

"No matter how she was born,"

Facing the noble men and women hugging each other and crying, the cat-eared girl took a step forward and spoke softly.

"Please don't forget your current feelings. Since you brought her into this world, don't let her down."

···

"Hahaha,"

"I will remember your words, little girl."

The ups and downs of Accardo smiled. As the handsome middle-aged man raised his head, the red mist in the sky disappeared completely, and the sun shone on his body, coating him with a layer of gold.

"Thank you,"

If it weren't for this 'drama' prepared by Gary, Accardo wouldn't be able to face his heart.

Kneel down on one knee and hold the hand of the classical beauty.

"Elizabeth, I don't deny that you were once the substitute of the deceased, but now, I hope to accompany you, no matter whether we are sick or healthy, rich or poor, we will always be loyal to each other until we leave the world - "

"Do you want to?"

···

"I am willing!"

Amidst the beautiful pear blossoms and rain, the two hugged each other again.

Hey hey hey, what is this?

Rossi next to him rolled his eyes. In the middle of the fight, he ate all the dog food?

"Bram Stoker,"

Immediately afterwards, the man named Accardo turned to look at his loyal captain of the guard and butler.There was a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Ha, I can finally rest."

The man who fell to the ground smiled and waved,

"Your Excellency, go on your honeymoon and let my old bones rest. You know, I'm tired of living a long time ago."

"sorry,"

After apologizing to his loyal guard captain, Accardo turned to look at Rossi, Katakuri, Gary, Tani...

"I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

"From now on, there will be no 'Piercing Man' Accardo in this world, and BIGMOM should be satisfied."

After speaking, the handsome middle-aged man spread his right hand.

"You know, the power of Devil Fruit is in the blood - at least for animals."

Blood kept gathering in his palms,

"As a person with the ability to control blood, let's use this as an apology."

Soon, the blood gathered and took shape, turning into:

A purple-red devil fruit covered with cloud patterns.

? !

Damn it, this is okay...

Under the hood, Rosie was shocked.

He knew that the 'Dark Fruit' could deprive other fruits, but he didn't expect that there were fruits that could be peeled off by oneself?

"Miss Gary,"

The purple-red Devil Fruit in his hand was thrown to the girl with cat ears. The middle-aged man with long gray hair turned to gold and his pupils returned to gray-brown, took the hand of his lover next to him.

"Thank you, I hope you can also relieve the regret in your heart."

"Then, farewell—"

As a door appeared behind the two of them, Accardo, who had returned to adulthood, led his lover into the door.

And the other side:

"Phew, I can finally take a nap."

As Accardo left, the Menmen fruit user named Bram Stoker leaned against the wall behind and slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, 'Bram Stoker' is long dead.

Many years ago, he died in the hands of a powerful enemy.

It's just that he was 'made' into a puppet by Accardo's fruit power: of course, he is a puppet that retains all his soul and memory, which is equivalent to an alternative 'resurrection'.

Now, as he said: finally able to get some sleep.

"So,"

Rosie moved her sore shoulders.

"This battle is finally over."

They obviously just came to move the base, but they got into an inexplicable fight.But fortunately, I learned how to 'predict the future', and——

The cat-eared girl on the other side, and the devil fruit in her hand:
