One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

The city of the queen of spring,

A crowd gathered on the busy street, and an "acrobatic show" was taking place on the open space in the center of the crowd.

The members of this acrobatic troupe each have their own characteristics.

Among them, there is a huge giraffe for children to climb. This giraffe seems to be very human-like, allowing naughty children to play on it freely and even grab its horns. It does not show any resistance and even has a very anthropomorphic smile on its face.

Next to the giraffe, a gray wolf was equally eye-catching. It jumped nimbly through fire circles, drawing cheers from the crowd.

In addition to these two beasts, there is a chubby giant whose mouth is a zipper. He is doing the same job as the giraffe, using his peculiar body to attract children to climb and play.

The remaining one was a man with long pink hair, pale skin and naked upper body. He kept waving the Zen stick in his hand and making strange noises, causing the children around him to scream in surprise.

The last man can be said to be the most normal one compared to other members in appearance. His only distinctive feature is his hairstyle, which looks like a pair of black horns.

His job is to shout and attract more audiences to watch, and when his companions are performing, he will also encourage the audience to "reward" them.

However, no one would have thought that this group of people were members of the former intelligence organization CP5.

Under the sun, the five people performed with sweat pouring down their faces until lunch time came, when the crowd around them began to gradually disperse.

The man with the horn hairstyle, Bruno, was nodding and bowing to the crowd to ask for the last wave of tips.

As the gray wolf behind jumped over six fire rings in a row, the final climax of the performance was directly ignited. The crowd around became excited and took out Baileys from their pockets and threw them to Bruno.

Bruno accepted Bailey with a smile on his face and thanked him repeatedly.

After the crowd had completely dispersed, he put the Baileys in his arms on the ground and carefully arranged them according to their denominations.

At this time, Weidori and others in the back also finished their performance. They all gathered behind Bruno, stretching their heads and staring at Bailey on the ground.

Kaku and Gabura took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the place and simultaneously released their fruit abilities and returned to their human form.

As soon as the ability was released, Gabra immediately started to be sarcastic towards Kaku.

"Hey! Are you being lazy again today? I feel like it's the same here with or without you! You can only attract some little brats, if that doesn't work, go to the port and do some porter work! You'll definitely earn more than this!"

Kaku was furious when he heard this and said,

"What did you say? You, a stupid wolf, ate all those children's parents?!"

"Nani!? Square Head, who are you calling stupid!?"

"Who else could it be but you!?"

The two of them would have such a quarrel after every performance, and Weiqu and the others were used to it. Bruno knelt on the ground, and after counting Baileys, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he said,

"Great! We've gained a lot today! With these, Lucci's injury will heal quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Weiqu and Owl cheered. Kaku and Gabra immediately stopped arguing and wiped the sweat from their heads with a look of relief.

Bruno carefully put the Baileys on the ground into his pockets one by one, saying,

"Okay, it's time for lunch. Let's go pick up Kalifa first, and then buy some delicious food. Lucci should be hungry too..."

As he was speaking, a pair of black boots suddenly appeared in front of Bruno.

Bruno was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a tall man wearing a black turtleneck windbreaker.

The man had his hands in his pockets, and under the cover of his collar, one could only see a pair of pupils as bright as gold, which looked even more dazzling under the sun.

This outfit immediately aroused the vigilance of Gabra and others. You know, they are all criminals now, and their identities are special. They were all spies before. There is no guarantee that the person in front of them is sent by the World Government to arrest or execute them.

The owl, who was very sensitive to scent, concentrated and sensed it for a while, and only nodded implicitly after confirming that there was no dangerous aura from the man in black.

Gabra and others were also slightly relieved.

Bruno calmed down and said with a smile,

"Hello sir, what can I do for you?"

The man in black chuckled and said,

"I heard from people here that your performance is very exciting, so I want to come and take a look."

The voice sounded very young, and Gabra and the others felt a lot more relaxed. When they heard that they were here to see a performance, they all smiled immediately. They knew that one must have a good attitude towards the audience!

Gabra stood up, folded his hands on his waist, bowed to the man in black, and said apologetically,

"Excuse me, sir, our performance today is over."

The man in black tilted his head and said,

"Really? That's a shame... Can't I pay extra to watch it?"

Bruno shook his head and said,

"Sir, this isn't... huh!?"

Bruno's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the black-clothed man's hand as he slowly took it out of his trouser pocket. To be precise, he stared at the three bundles of banknotes in his hand!

The face value on the banknote is 10,000! That is the maximum face value of the banknote!

Judging from the color, these three bundles of bills are most likely all worth ten thousand. Looking at the thickness, Bruno estimated that these three bundles of bills together must be worth at least three million Baileys!

Gabra and the others behind him all had the same expression on their faces as Bruno, staring at the three bundles of banknotes in the black-clothed man's hand in amazement.

There was no way, they were so short of money now that they didn't even notice how the man in black managed to take out three such thick bundles of banknotes from his slightly tight trouser pocket.

Bruno swallowed and said,

"Sir, are you going to use this money to watch our performance?"

The man in black quickly opened three bundles of banknotes. His hands were so steady that he showed no sign of being unable to hold so many banknotes.

He opened his mouth and said,

"Yeah, but it's really late now. You guys should go have lunch, right? I think we should just forget it."

As he said this, the man in black was about to put the banknotes back into his trouser pocket. At this moment, Gabra, with green eyes, howled like a wolf.

"Do not!!!"

The man in black paused, and Gabra fiercely kicked Bruno in front of him. Bruno finally came to his senses and hurriedly shouted,

"Perform, perform, perform! Let's perform! Don't worry, sir, we will give you a performance of the highest level!"

After saying this, as if they were afraid that the man in black would go back on his word, Gabra and the others had already flashed to the back and got into position one by one.

The man in black smiled and stuffed the three bundles of banknotes into Bruno's arms. In Bruno's dull eyes, he said,

"This is the deposit."
