The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Awesome, Dover!"

"Winning a game easily——"

Facing the cheers of the crowd, Dover smiled coolly.

"But I won against a nobody, fufufu~~."

That was no unknown person, and the other guests around him had serious expressions. 'Wind Blade' Moritz is definitely not weak, but he was defeated by the opponent's move.

Although he didn't know the opponent's abilities, the strength of the blond kid wearing arrogant red sunglasses should not be underestimated.

Is a strong enemy!

Others quietly raised Dover's threat level to another level in their hearts.

At the same time, he began to secretly inquire about information about them.As people continued to come in and out, words such as 'Don Quixote Family', 'Doflamingo', and 'Rosinande' soon spread among the audience.

At this time, the center of everyone's attention: the Don Quixote family was chatting through 'team voice'.

"I said, I said, the Vinsmoke family won't regret it, right?"

Relying on Rossi's 'silent shield', Torebol expressed his worries to the others.

"That's a superhuman devil fruit worth 10 billion. If it were me, I would send someone from my own family to win the game at the end..."

"Won't,"

Rossi shook his head directly.

If it was Torrebol, a 'dog-headed strategist', of course he could do such a thing.

But the Vinsmoke family will definitely not do this, because Rossi knows very well that although Vinsmoke Gage on the rostrum is arrogant and ruthless, he is also a man who repays kindness and promises a thousand dollars. .

After being rescued by the Straw Hats in the future, the BIGMOM pirates, one of the "Four Emperors", were blocked from behind. All members were captured without flinching.

In short, he is a person who takes the face of the 'royal family' very seriously.

It is absolutely impossible to engage in such dirty tricks as breaking one's promise to get rich.

"That's a powerful stone fruit,"

"It's not like when we got the 'Thread Fruit' before, we didn't dare to eat it without knowing the name."

Diamanti was also puzzled. For gangsters like them who were born on the streets, the other party's behavior was too 'abnormal'.

"Why don't the Vinsmorks eat it themselves?"

Faced with Diamanti's question, Rossi touched his chin.

"This question starts with the nature of devil fruits, not... the nature of living things."

???

Not to mention Torrebol and Diamanti, even Dover and Jorah had question marks on their faces.

Aren't we discussing why the Vinsmoke family didn't eat this Devil Fruit themselves?Why did he suddenly bring up such a lofty topic as 'the nature of living things'?

"That prince,"

Raising his chin towards the podium, Rossi explained to the others:

"Vinsmoke Gaji once joined a research team called 'MADS'."

"They are all top scientists. In their research, they have discovered the essence of life, which is genes... life factors."

"By analyzing the 'life factor', they can even make weapons 'eat' Devil Fruits, give ordinary people the same abilities as Devil Fruits, and even try artificial Devil Fruits..."

This is not Rossi talking nonsense, but real technology in this world.

The five sons and daughters of the Vinsmoke family in the future all possess super powers such as 'lightning', 'fire', 'air pressure', and 'toxin' like devil fruits, but at the same time they are not espers.

Because their bloodline factor, that is, their genes were changed during fetal life, they were born with 'iron bones', 'high-speed healing', and extraordinary abilities...

"Understand, the Vinsmoke family has a way to 'create' strong men with abilities similar to Devil Fruits, so of course they look down on Devil Fruits——"

The weakness of the Devil Fruit is so obvious that the whole sea is taboo. Once it falls into the water, it will be GG immediately.

And there are things like sea floor stones, so there are many people who choose not to eat devil fruits.

The Vinsmoke family goes one step further. While they possess various 'superpowers', they are not afraid of sea water and sea rocks at all. It can be said to be an epoch-making technology!

"Understood,"

A group of people nodded in unison, "Suddenly enlightened."

Although I don’t understand the entire list above, it’s enough to know that the Vinsmoke family doesn’t like Devil Fruits.

"So, doesn't this Devil Fruit belong to us?"

"Hey hey hey~~ Diamanti, Vergo, Pica,"

"Who among you three are going to eat?"

···

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I heard incredible information."

On the other side, as the short-haired and capable girl retells, the girl with a broad forehead who covers the lower half of her face with a folding fan flashes her sly eyes.It's a pity that this is not the West Sea, otherwise we can try to obtain this technology——

The girl is not just dreaming. There are eight official pirate groups from "One Treasure" to "Eight Treasures" in the Flower Country, and the leaders (pillars) are all strong men with hundreds of millions in bounties.

With such strength, even in the new world, it is a first-rate power.By joining forces with other naval forces, even if there is a head-on conflict with the Vinsmoke family, I believe they will not be at a disadvantage.

"Well, a strong dragon won't overwhelm a local snake."

"We'd better attend the banquet honestly. Uncle Sao Feng, do you want to go down and have fun?"

The girl called 'Xiao Feng' was an inconspicuous 'old man' behind her. From Rossi's domineering perception, he was indeed an 'ordinary person'.

The bowler hat covered half of his face, leaving only two beards hanging down.Although he changed into a black suit as the Romans did, his habit of clasping his hands in front of him made him look like he was from the Flower Country of the Western Sea.

"Miss Linglong,"

"If I take action, I'll be destroying the Vinsmoke family."

The man known as 'Xiao Feng' raised his head slightly, his eyes sparkling. He was not an old man at all.

Xiao Feng, the 'Chief of Staff' of the Babao Navy.

It was supposed to be a burly man with a formidable martial arts, but behind the girl was a hunched-over, seemingly unremarkable little old man.

This is not a Devil Fruit ability, but a camouflage technique that uses exquisite control over the body to change the shape of the body's bones and muscles.

"Just like the Vinsmoke family won't end up on their own, it's not easy for a secret 'guard' like me to take action."

If you encounter someone with Devil Fruit strength at sea, just grab it.

But on the Vinsmoke family's territory, you naturally have to follow other people's rules.

"Is that so,"

The girl shook her folding fan and looked at Rossi and the others.

"It seems that if you want to be the final winner, I need to take action myself."

···

"Kill him!"

"This is how we should fight, no, we can only fight like this!"

"Next, who's next? Hurry up—"

The people who came to attend the Wensmoke family's engagement ceremony were basically powerful men, or simply bounty pirates.At the beginning, I still had the idea of ​​"sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" and "the fisherman will benefit".

But as others begin to compete, sword skills, fighting, guns... and even devil fruit abilities come to the fore.The audience cheered one after another, and hungry and thirsty masters jumped into the arena.

The atmosphere is getting heated!

The Vinsmoke family's medical technology is famous throughout the North Sea.

As long as they are not beaten to death on the spot, they can basically be saved, and even broken limbs can be recovered.

——Under such circumstances, there is no 'calculation' or 'planning', it is better to go down and have a good fight!

Anyway, if you don’t have enough strength, you won’t be the final winner.

---

In the blink of an eye, most of the day passed.

"Don't be frustrated. Only when you play against masters will you know your own shortcomings."

Rossi patted Pika who was carried back, facing this opportunity to test his strength, improve himself, and make a name for himself.Naturally, the Don Quixote family also sent people to fight one after another, with some losing and some winning, and Pica fought the hardest in this game.

"If you encounter someone with animal abilities in the future, be careful of their teeth."

"Um,"

On the stretcher, Pika, who was covered in blood, nodded slightly. The sides of his neck were chewed to pieces and were bloody. His trapezius muscles were severely damaged and he couldn't even lift his arms.

Of course, his opponent didn't have it easy either. The maritime merchant leader who ate the 'Animal Type·Cat Fruit·Lion Form' received a lot of heavy blows from Pika. If it weren't for the rough skin and thick flesh of the Animal Type, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. One step down.

Although Pika looked miserable, everyone was used to seeing blood and knew that he was fine, so they began to review and discuss the battle just now.

"Keep the distance and use long-range attacks?"

"If you're fighting the opponent hand to hand, it's best to use techniques like throwing—"

"It's not just the teeth,"

Rossi recalled the group of animals in 'Future' CP9 and reminded others:

"The tails of many animals can also be used as weapons, so be careful if you encounter one."

It won't work behind closed doors, and real battles are not turn-based battles. Kicking, inserting eyes, clawing and biting are all normal operations. You can never expect what dirty tricks the opponent will use.

Go out and fight, and while you are being severely beaten, you will also think about how to deal with the same problem next time. This is improvement.

Not only did the people fighting below gain a lot, but even everyone watching the battle was mesmerized.

The essence of this world...or any world is that whoever has the biggest fist is the 'just' one.

The pursuit of power is engraved in the bones of any ambitious person.

As people continued to die and people were taken away for treatment, the level of the battle became higher and higher, and the time became longer.When a strong man covered in golden armor wins three games in a row, no one will continue to play.

In this world, gold is harder than steel. Most of the people present would have to work hard to break through steel armor. They were helpless in the face of gold armor.

However, this strong man has long physical strength and slow reflexes. He can fight three times in a row without blushing or out of breath. He seems to be quite invincible.

Is he the winner?

----

"Sixteen B-levels, seven B+ levels, and three reached A-level standards..."

On the rostrum, next to Vinsmoke Gaji, who was sitting at attention, a scientific researcher in a white coat read out in a low voice an assessment of the strength of everyone who had fought in the arena.

"Coupled with our combat uniforms, they can collectively improve to a level."

The Vinsmoke family has powerful technology. The combat suit made of high-strength fiber can resist ordinary lead bullets, knives and guns; the 'elastic boots' with high-strength springs installed inside can make people run like flying and jump several meters. ···

Put it on these 'masters' present, and they can immediately transform into killing machines!

As the man in the white coat said, it would be easy to raise their strength to another level.

"Yes, Not Bad."

The young Vinsmoke Gaji nodded lightly,

The reason why he took out the 'Stone Fruit' as a reward was to find out the strength of the people present and then customize suitable battle uniforms for them.

Of course, all this is not free, because everyone present is related to his next plan.

"Elite soldiers, as many as you want."

"But we lack 'generals' who can break through the enemy lines."

And the guests in the entire arena are his 'sharp knives' who will attack Beihai next!

As for someone who refuses to cooperate?

Vinsmoke Gaji never thought that as long as he captured the entire North Sea, money, land, beauties... anything could be rewarded to them.And if they don't know how to praise, then the Vinsmoke family doesn't have strong people to make them realize the reality!

Raising his hand, his five fingers covered the entire arena.

In the eyes of the young prince on the rostrum, there is quite a kind of heroic spirit of "all the heroes of the North Sea are in my hands".
