People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

At dusk, the sun slanted westward.

Chambord Archipelago, Island 71.

On the second floor of a large villa, in a certain room, the door was open.

A gray wolf named Erha, with its head drooping, was lying in a luxurious black kennel, wagging its tail in boredom.

Its eyes would fall on the corner of the room from time to time, on an iron cage hanging from the ceiling, which contained a bat. That guy ate, slept, and ate every day, and when he was hungry, he would "squeak!" , living a pig-like life.

"what……"

In this villa, there will always be some strange sounds from time to time, Gray Wolf has long been used to it, but what it doesn't understand is why Tezzolo is so keen on Stella...?

Obviously that Stella has neither soft fur nor beautiful fangs and claws, any female wolf is much more attractive than her!

Um! ...Although Erha has the shape of a wolf, and the body is a rocket launcher, this does not prevent it from liking female wolves!

Swish!

Half of a blue-black long knife pierced through the void and appeared in the room.

In the invisible space around, with the blade as the center, ripples appeared and spread outward.

After a while, a space wormhole with a diameter of three meters and a light green inside appeared in the room.

With a box in his left hand, Sephiroth shook his head and muttered as he walked out of the world inside the door:

"No, this door opening speed is still too slow!

There is no actual combat value at all, the moment the space door is opened, people can launch an attack, or just run away..."

After sheathing the knife, Sephiroth squatted down, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his right hand towards Gray Wolf.

"Come on, Erha, shake hands!"

"Ow~!"

The gray wolf still looked listless, but it still raised its paw obediently and placed it on his palm.

"Why do you look listless?"

"Woo~!"

Hearing this, Gray Wolf immediately glanced at the direction of Tezuolo and Stella with resentful eyes.

Seeing this situation, Sephiroth suddenly realized, he jokingly said:

"Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it's the season for animals to reproduce...

Do you feel like you've been abused?

Do you need me to tell Tezolo to help you find a good-looking she-wolf?"

"Aww! Aww~!"

Hearing this, Erha suddenly howled twice, and its tail swung rapidly, turning into a high-spirited look.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I didn't expect you to be this kind of wolf... No! You're a bazooka..."

Sephiroth chuckled, and after rubbing Gray Wolf's head a few times with his hands, he stood up and walked out of the house.

After Erha howled those two voices, Tezolo and Stella stopped their movements.

Sephiroth was just in the corridor and took only two steps.

Tezzolo, who was wearing a purple pajamas, opened the door from a room, walked out, and nodded to him.

"Boss!"

"Call Stella, let's go to the study and talk about something."

"Uh!?...Okay!"

Hearing this, Tezuolo was stunned for a moment, but he turned around and walked into the room without asking any further questions.

…………

Villa, study.

Stella, who was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, held a pot of black tea on a plate, walked into the study, and made a cup of black tea for Sephiroth and Tezolo who were sitting on the sofa. .

"This time, I actually want to discuss two things with you..."

While speaking, Sephiroth, who was sitting on the single sofa, opened the suitcase on the table, took out the Snow Snow Fruit from it, and placed it on the table.

"This one is a natural snow fruit. Any part of the eater's body can turn into snow. Even if the body is defeated by a purely physical attack, it can be instantly reorganized with snow..."

After roughly talking about the fruit's ability and use effect, he turned his attention to Stella.

"Are you interested in becoming a devil fruit capable user...?

As long as you eat it, ordinary minions and physical attacks can't hurt you...

Of course, this will also mean that you will need to work for me in the future. "

Hearing this, Stella first looked at Sephiroth, then turned to look at Tezolo beside him, and the latter smiled:

"I respect your decision!"

Naturally, it is a devil fruit. It would be a lie to say that she is not moved, but after eating this fruit, it will also mean encountering more risks.

During the time with Tezolo, the other party never let her suffer any grievances, and always doted on her.

However, because Tezzolo is now a big shot in the underground world, many people regard him as an assassination target, and Stella was also implicated in it a few times...

If Tezolo hadn't tried his best to protect her, perhaps she would have died long ago!

In fact, she also wants to become stronger... at least strong enough to protect herself and not become a burden to Tezolo!

Thinking of this, a resolute expression flashed across Stella's face, she nodded slightly and said:

"I see, boss!"

After finishing speaking, she picked up the Xuexue fruit on the table, peeled off the skin and took a bite.

"Hmm~!"

The taste was so unpalatable that Stella almost vomited it out on the spot. She suppressed the nausea before swallowing it.

After the second bite, she didn't want to eat any more!

Anyway, as long as one bite of the devil fruit is effective, Stella put the rest of the devil fruit on the table.

Seeing that the other party had already eaten the Devil Fruit, Sephiroth took out two blueprints from the box and handed them to Tezolo, one of which was a map of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and the other was a map of the new world. The rough chart, the latter can only look at it casually, distance, size, direction... In short, there are problems everywhere!

The nautical charts of the great waterway are so cheating!

The meaning of watching the chart can only let you know that there is a certain island...

As for other things, it is basically impossible to be accurate!

When you use the record pointer as a navigation on the sea, when you go from one island to another, the trajectory of the ship is roughly a straight line, but when you use the record pointer to sail three or more islands...

The trajectory of the ship may be a curve, or even an arc!

Maybe, the first island you set off from, the island at your destination, is not as far away as you imagined, or even very close...

"This is... the new world?"

After Tezuolo took a rough look at the chart, he looked at the silver-haired boy with a puzzled expression.

"That's right! Do you think that if the Kingdom of Dressrosa agreed to the company's establishment of military factories and certain commercial buildings in their country, would the company be able to make a lot of money?"

"This one……"

Tezzolo did not give an answer right away, but quickly weighed the pros and cons of all aspects in his mind and made a rough analysis.

After a while, he nodded affirmatively and said:

"Boss, if your proposal can be realized, it will indeed bring great profits to the company...

However, the premise is that we can gain a firm foothold in the new world..."

The new world is nothing like a paradise, where the heroes are separated and extremely chaotic, there is no reason for others to beat you, and the rule of the jungle can be said to be brought into full play!

"So how much money do you think the company can make each year if this proposal is realized?"

Tezuolo pondered for a while before he said with certainty:

"A safe estimate is that it should be more than [-] billion Baileys!"

"Oh! That's fine..."

Sephiroth nodded, and with Tezolo's reference answer, his next plan for the new world can also be implemented.

"By the way, Tezolo! Recently, please help me to pay attention to whether there are any supreme sharp knives on the market......

In addition, I need you to help me find the trace of Moonlight Moria.

You can start with Xihai first, that guy should stay there now..."

"Okay, I will use the intelligence network of the underground world to find out..."

For the task assigned by Sephiroth, Tezolo did not ask too much about the reason, and directly agreed.
