One Piece: God Killer

After roughly understanding the situation of the Star Kingdom and the King, Profik then asked the shopkeeper about the situation of the Black Constellation.

"Black Constellation is an organization that developed spontaneously on Xingxing Island. Speaking of which, its prototype has existed for a long time." When mentioning Black Constellation, the shop owner clearly showed his favorable impression, and even his tone was much more relaxed, "The official establishment of Black Constellation He, the former gang leader, founded Black Constellation probably not long after the late emperor ascended the throne."

"The former gang leader had a good relationship with the old king. It is said that when the old king was still a prince, he went to sea to go to another country and encountered a storm on the way. Fortunately, the gang leader risked his life to save him and was able to escape safely." The shop owner recalled, regarding these He had heard a lot about the matter, "It is said that it was precisely because of this fateful friendship that he received the strong support of the old king and was able to integrate the various forces in the Star Port and form the organization 'Black Constellation'" .”

"The period that followed can be said to be the best days of Xingxing Port," the shop owner showed a nostalgic look. "The old king and the former gang leader were both good people. With their efforts, Xingxing Port gradually became prosperous. Get up. Since the establishment of the 'Black Constellation', the security of Star Port has been their responsibility. Thanks to his protection, Star Port has maintained a rare peace. The former gang leader also founded huge industries, including shipyards, fruit cans The processing plant...my cannery store is supported by the 'Black Constellation'."

"I just don't know why they are so keen on fruits..." When talking about fruits, the shop owner showed a puzzled look. Black Constellation has purchased and planted fruits in large quantities for a long time. It is clear that other products are more profitable. "The fruit industry is Black Constellation's. One of the two pillar industries, from planting, to purchasing, to processing, everything is the same. Not only the fresh fruit industry, but also canned, dried fruits, preserved fruits, fruit tea, fruit wine, everything."

Profic nodded while listening. According to the cannery shop owner, the former leader of the Black Constellation was indeed a rare good person.

As for the store owner's doubts about Black Constellation's large collection of fruits, Profic also had his own guess. He felt that this must be the former gang leader of Black Constellation using this method to secretly collect devil fruits.

It seems that the Black Constellation organization has very big plans. Moreover, according to the boss, shipbuilding is also one of the pillar industries of Black Constellation. If you want to buy a boat, you have to deal with them, so be careful when dealing with them.

Buck, who had been listening carefully, suddenly asked: "Boss, you have been talking about the Qian gang leader, is there really anyone named Qian in this world?"

Obviously, Buck understood "former gang leader" as a gang leader named Qian, or a gang leader named Qian. The world of One Piece is different from the world of Profik's previous life. "Qian" is not common as a name.

"Haha," even the owner of the can shop couldn't help but laugh, "It's not called Qian, it's the former gang leader."

"So that's it," Buck suddenly realized, and then asked, "So now he is no longer the gang leader?"

"Alas," the owner of the can shop stopped smiling and sighed heavily, "It's a pity that good people don't live long. Five years ago, the former gang leader went to sea and died overseas for no apparent reason."

"Died overseas?" Profik frowned slightly and added, "Since he can maintain the peace of Star Port, he must be very strong, right?"

"Of course," when mentioning the former gang leader, the shop owner said with a look of admiration and mystery, "The former gang leader is a superpower. He can transform into a huge python. Those ferocious pirates are not his. opponent."

Sure enough, the shopkeeper's words confirmed Profik's guess. The former gang leader of Black Constellation was indeed an ability user.

"Superpowers? That's evil..." Buck was about to answer when Star blocked his mouth.

"What's wrong?" This is the shop owner asking.

"No, it's nothing. Please don't worry about it." Star blocked Buck's mouth tightly.

"Please go on," Profik said.

The shopkeeper nodded, and then his voice became deeper: "I can only say that things are unpredictable, and no one can say for sure about things at sea..."

"So, why did the former gang leader pass away?" Profik asked curiously.

"I don't know," the shop owner said truthfully. "When the former gang leader went to sea, he didn't bring many people with him, and no news was sent back to the island."

"Then how do you know he passed away?"

"The 160th Naval Branch discovered the wreckage of the ship and the remains of the former gang leader..." the shop owner said sadly, and then, as if he had come to his senses, "Why do you ask these questions?"

Profik smiled slightly and said: "It's just curiosity. That Mr. Heite just now has extraordinary moves. I also have some skills in boxing and kicking, but I don't think I may be his opponent. What's more, we also want to get out of the island. When buying a ship, I heard from the boss that the shipyard is also their industry. To buy or sell, you need to have as much information as possible to make it easy. Maybe your casual words can save me 10,000 berries. !”

The boss seemed to be quite satisfied with Profik's explanation. He nodded and said, "That's quite good. According to the new gang leader, what is it? Oh, yes - I heard that there is a saying called 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger'."

Ignoring the shopkeeper's sudden idioms and strange way of speaking, Profic seized the opportunity and asked about the new gang leader: "What's going on with the new gang leader."

"Listen to me slowly," the shopkeeper said calmly, "Before the old gang leader went to sea, he secretly made a will, stipulating that after his death, everything in the Black Constellation would be handed over to the deputy gang leader - also Mr. Heite is in charge. Mr. Heite did not covet the position of gang leader, but respected the old gang leader’s only blood relative—his ten-year-old daughter, Miss Vladimir, as the gang leader.”

"The current gang leader is a little girl?" According to the shop owner, the old gang leader passed away five years ago, when Miss Vladimir was only ten years old. In other words, now she is only fifteen years old, and she is even a teenager. adults. It is really unexpected that such a young child is in charge of a gang. "Is she also a person with super powers?"

"No, Miss Vladimir has never shown any abilities that are different from ordinary people," the shopkeeper denied Profik's guess, "but she is indeed a smart and beautiful girl. Soon after she became the gang leader, she expanded the black constellation industry, a larger caravan has been formed. However, in the past two years, there have been more and more pirates, the caravan has been attacked from time to time, and the number of trips to sea has been greatly reduced."

"Then what kind of person is she? What are the skills for dealing with her? For example, how can I get the price lower?" Profik pretended to be very interested in bargaining, but in fact, except for As for bargaining, he was now becoming more interested in the island's story.

"She is a bit childish, haha! But she is just a child," the boss said with a smile, "but it is not easy to bargain with her. I have tried to get her to sell me canned fruits cheaper several times! "

"Then it seems like I have to work harder!" Profik laughed, and then asked, "How is the situation on the island now?"

Speaking of the situation on the island, the boss shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, the situation at the port is really bad. In the past two years, more and more pirates have been causing trouble. The new gang leader is unable to take action. Sometimes it's dark. Mr. Te will also be stretched thin..."

Profik nodded and said, "Well, pirates who don't follow the rules are indeed a big trouble."

"However, the biggest trouble is still with the king," the shopkeeper changed the subject. "When the old king was still there, everything was fine. However, the old king died suddenly of a serious illness half a year ago. Since the new king succeeded to the throne, he has always wanted to Increase taxes on Star Port, and are dissatisfied with Black Constellation's control of Star Port. They plan to let the patrol take over Star Port, and also want to station administrative officials at the port. Now the two sides are fighting openly and secretly! You have to convince her to sell you cheaper , maybe we can work on this aspect.”

Profic shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "That's unnecessary. Don't be ridiculous." He has already seen the skills of Black Constellation's deputy gang leader Heite, and the king's side who can confront Black Constellation should obviously have it. Corresponding combat effectiveness. Under such circumstances, he had no intention of intervening in the internal affairs of the Star Kingdom. Moreover, even if he really planned to do something, he would not tell this boss who obviously had a close relationship with Black Constellation.

"Okay, that's all I can tell you." The boss picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and said, "Now, it's your turn to take out the money and buy cans."

Profik turned to look at Buck and Star, who were in charge of the money.

Star reached into the bag to take out the money. After taking it out for a while, he shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, the money is not enough."

Profik, Star, and Buck disembarked. In order not to attract unnecessary attention, they didn't bring much money with them. In addition to the fact that he had bought a lot of food earlier, although Star still had some change on him at this time, it was far from enough to buy the entire canned food in the store.

"Is it possible that you have no money? If that's the case..." The boss's kind face immediately turned gloomy, and his voice revealed dissatisfaction.

"Of course we have money!" Profic interrupted the boss. He didn't want to attract Heit. "But our money is all on the boat. So, I asked Buck and Star to go back to the boat to get the money. I Just wait for a while at the tavern opposite, what do you think, boss?"

Hearing what Profik said, the boss's expression softened. He nodded, but did not forget to "instruct": "It's best to go back quickly. If you dare to escape, then I will have to contact Mr. Heite." Got it!"
