The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Wono Country?"

"Kaido Pirates...?"

The entire Dressrosa has become a huge 'field hospital'. The air is filled with the smell of disinfectant and alcohol. A large number of residents have vacated their living rooms to accommodate injured soldiers and patients.

Although the Black Death spread by Captain CP0's 'Disease Fruit' was immediately stopped by the Demon King, it still brought a large number of wounded.There was damage from other battles, and the entire city was spinning at high speed.

The worst thing was the King's Heights, which was turned into ruins after being hit by Gamenio's "Shocking Power".

If Rossi hadn't dealt with Gamenho as soon as possible, he would have destroyed Dressrosa with his 'shock ability' alone.

Sitting in front of the ruins of King's Heights, Dover, who was dealing with various matters, pushed up his red sunglasses.

"It shouldn't be possible in a short time. The Red Earl is still 'playing' here with us."

"It's certainly a problem, but it's not impossible."

In front of the ruins, several sofas and tables pulled out from under the boulder by Pika formed a temporary 'command center'.It was filled with all kinds of reported information. Rosie pulled up a chair and sat down, and began to handle matters with Dover.

Treatment of the wounded, compensation for the dead, reconstruction of the city, distribution of loot, and information on the forces behind the attack, etc...

Thousands of clues, if you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, you can do it, but neither Rossi nor Dover have that kind of personality.

"As expected, Devil Fruit abilities can only be developed through constant use—"

For example, Dover's Thread Fruit, not to mention various control skills and damaging skills in battle... Even after the fight, everyone needs his Thread ability to mend wounds.

Even later, Dover even used threads to wrap around buildings, trees, and even clouds to form an 'airway' while rushing.I spent a lot of time using the fruit ability, so it developed so quickly and reached the point of awakening.

And Rosie's Fruit of Silence... most of the time, there's no place to even use it!

Do you want to put a silent shield on yourself, and then be stabbed in the back without reacting?

Therefore, the development level of Rossi's fruit is very low. Only when he meets a strong person and uses his ability to block the opponent's domineering power can he have a certain degree of development.

To put it simply, Rossi needs to use the fruit's ability to shield the powerful from seeing and hearing in order to gain the fruit's 'proficiency'.

Usually there aren’t many opportunities to use abilities, but it’s different now——

"Now I have to put the 'Silent Shield' on Red Earl every day, and my fruit ability has also made great progress."

Rossi clenched his fist. Although the ability to silence was invisible and intangible, as an esper, Rossi could clearly feel the development of his fruitful abilities.

"Now I will put a 'silent shield' on the Red Earl, and it can even last for three days."

"If you continue to train like this, even if you can't create a permanent 'silent field', there will still be no problem in maintaining the 'silent shield' on the Red Earl for a longer period of time." At this point, Rossi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the 'proficiency' of my fruit ability was actually gained from the Red Earl.

"That's good,"

"It's best to maintain it for more than a year and let the monster go to the sea to harm other people."

Baloric Redfield is too strong.

Even the current Rossi and Dover are capable of becoming 'general candidates' in the Navy, and even the future Four Emperors will be second in command.But facing the Red Earl...

Even if the generals and four emperors come, they still have to consider how to retreat.

Otherwise, being overturned by the Red Earl's car would be the only outcome.

In the sea of ​​this era, the name of the monster "Aloof Red" is not blown out, but spoken out.

So even though the Red Count travels around every day and looks like a gentleman on vacation, the entire Don Quixote family is tense, and even Dover wants him to get out of here.

"Well, it lasts for a year..."

Rossi put down the documents in his hands and rubbed his temples.

"Let's discuss how to make fruit awakening more realistic."

···

When it came to this topic, Dover was speechless on the spot.It is obvious that he has awakened the fruit ability, but he himself cannot explain how he awakened it.

Every time Rossi learned a new skill, he taught everyone the use of advanced weapon color domineering, overlord color entanglement, predicting the future... When Dover came here, he couldn't say anything, and he acted as if he was hiding something.

Fortunately, at this time, Jinbe came over.

?

Behind Jinbe, there was another fishman... no, a mermaid.

This is a male mermaid with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his hair is tied into a sky-high ponytail, and his chin is shaved livid.The facial features that were supposed to be ferocious gave people an intellectual feel.

The lower body is a fish tail with khaki spots, swimming left and right like a snake.

Hey?

This is not that...Aladdin!

Yes, that's the name, the future second generation of the Sun Pirates.

Of course, the 'first generation' of the Sun Pirates, Fisher Tiger, has not yet been captured as a slave somewhere and has witnessed and experienced the madness and cruelty of mankind, so the 'Sun Pirates' have not yet appeared. .

"What's wrong, Jinbe?"

Facing Rossi's inquiry, Jinbei took a step forward and spoke frankly.

"I'm here to resign."

? !

"what--"

"Brother Jinbei, what are you talking about?"

As soon as these words came out, Torebol, Jorah, Gladius, and others who were also working in the open air here stood up in surprise and hurriedly asked.

"Why are you leaving..."

"Do you also want to create a pirate group of your own?"

Unlike the cold Tani, the reliable Jinbe was highly praised by the family cadres. When they heard that he wanted to leave, everyone almost subconsciously stopped him.

"You guys stop,"

As soon as Dover opened his mouth, he silenced the others.

"Jinbei, I thought we got along quite happily in the past two years. Is it just my imagination?"

Facing Dover's angry question, Jinbei shook his head with a magnanimous expression.

"Do not,"

"Dover, Rosie, everyone."

"I don't want to betray the family, nor do I want to establish my own power, but because-"

"Mishman Island is already very dangerous."

···

As Jinbei slowly spoke, everyone understood the dilemma of Fish-Man Island.

Several years have passed since Roger, the "Pirate King", shouted "Do you want my treasure?" on the execution platform. Several years have passed since the Great Pirate Age. A large number of pirates who passed through the first half of the Grand Line arrived at the Shampoo Islands. .

In the face of these lawless desperadoes, even the Chambord Islands near the Navy Headquarters became a half-white and half-black chaotic place, not to mention the only entrance to the new world:

Fishman Island!

In addition, the price of a mermaid is tens of millions of beli. If you catch a few, you can collect the money of a devil fruit and build a new ship. With such a temptation, how can the pirates let it go?

During this period of time, it can be said that Fish-Man Island and the passing pirates have been fighting three times a day and one big battle every three days!

Even if the fishmen have geographical advantages in the water, and even if the fishmen are naturally strong, they still face an endless stream of human pirates, including all kinds of strange ability users and swordsmen...

He was also beaten to the point of exhaustion.

After all, Fish-Man Island only has a population of several million, of which only about [-] are capable of fighting.

And what about humans?

Alabasta has an army of one million, and the population of the entire One Piece world ranges from billions to more than a billion. In the face of sheer numbers and an endless stream of masters, what can Fish-Man Island do, which is itself a high-priced commodity?

"Whether I am the former captain of the Dragon Palace Navy or a fishman, I have the obligation to go back and defend my homeland."

After saying that, Jinbei directly took out a wine glass from his arms.

"I've had drinks with you many times, but this time..."

It's hard to swallow,

Because this is the 'perfect wine'!

"and many more,"

Just when the scene was quiet for a moment, Rossi put down the documents in his hands and stood up.

"Jinbei, you left because of Fishman Island, right?"

"right,"

Jinbei nodded, and suddenly thought of the 'prophecy' in his heart.

Is it—

"That's easy,"

"With the current reputation of our Don Quixote family, if we lend our flag to Fish-Man Island, no one will dare to do anything wrong."

Of course, there must have been some unscrupulous people provoking him at the beginning.Then use their heads to embellish the reputation of the Don Quixote family until no one dares to cause trouble on Fish-Man Island!

!

"Hey hey, that's right~~"

"Let the family protect Fishman Island, so Jinbei you don't need to leave."

"Yes, whoever dares to challenge the majesty of the Don Quixote family, I will blow him to the bottom of the sea!"

···

"This?"

Jinbei was stunned and thought of what Rossi once said when he passed by the Fish-Man Island: It is very simple to solve the problem of the fish-men, seek the protection of the powerful forces at sea.

Now, in the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and Jinbei, as a member of the Don Quixote family, is naturally very clear about the strength.

In addition to the strength established by those old legendary strongmen, the Don Quixote family is the most powerful force on the sea!

Moreover, the Don Quixote family is young and has a bright future...

"Thank you!"

Although Jinbei cannot represent Fish-Man Island, he also understands that the Don Quixote family protects Fish-Man Island for his sake.This thank you was for himself.

"Thank you for everything. I told you we are partners. Right, Dover——"

"Of course, since it is a family issue, the Don Quixote family cannot just sit idly by and ignore it!"

Now that the tone is set, then:

"Rosie, please take a walk."

Not only does Dover want to sit in Dressrosa, there is another reason:

"By the way, let the Red Count go out for a walk, and we will be responsible for the reconstruction."

"exactly,"

"Yes, yes, Fish-Man Island is a good place. Hurry up and let that family... Your Excellency go and relax."

The others nodded repeatedly. Facing a top expert whose memory would be read just by 'touching his head' was much more exciting than ordinary people getting along with tigers. Recently, the nerves of everyone in the family have been stretched to the extreme. In addition to the big battle just now. ——

Let the Red Earl leave so that everyone can have a good rest and relax.

"no problem,"

Rossi nodded. Anyway, his daily 'exercise' now is to apply the Silence Shield on the Red Earl. In the confrontation with the opponent's domineering power, the proficiency of the fruit continues to increase, which makes Rossi unable to stop.

"Then it's settled, I'll go find the Red Earl."
