Pirates: Rush to the Peak

He weighed it in his hand for a few times, feeling its heavy weight, then frowned and asked, "Why did he give it to me? Is he asking me to eat it?"

After saying that, he actually opened his mouth and pretended to put the little bit of fruit into his mouth.

This action scared the butler next to him so much that he jumped up like a frightened rabbit and snatched the devil fruit from Saint Charlos' mouth in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Chief, stop messing around. How can you eat this?!"

At this moment, the housekeeper's face was pale, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

He widened his eyes and stared at Saint Charlos nervously, as if he would step forward without hesitation to stop him if he made any rash moves again.

Saint Charlos, whose fruit was taken away, seemed a little unhappy. He pouted in dissatisfaction, then sat heavily on the back of the huge monster wolf below him, and deliberately straightened his body to express his dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! If you don't want me to eat it, what do you want me to see?" Saint Charlos roared with his eyes wide open, his face full of flesh shaking with anger.

"How dare you tell me that it is a major family matter? Are you deliberately playing tricks on me?" He roared and glared at the butler in front of him.

The butler was shocked when he saw this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Seeing that Saint Charlos was about to get angry, he hurriedly explained in panic: "No...it's not like that, Patriarch, this time I really have something very important to report to you!"

As he spoke, the butler approached Saint Charlos cautiously and continued in a low voice, "It's like this. Lord Pollis sent someone to say that he wanted to exchange the devil fruit for the slaves we have imprisoned. And as far as I know, other families are also involved in this matter."

At this point, the butler showed a hint of pride on his face, as if he had discovered a huge business opportunity: "But, it's different from us! They just obeyed the orders of the Five Elders and gave the slaves to the other party for free. But we are different, Master Chief, we can get precious devil fruits through this transaction! Isn't this a great thing?"

However, at this moment, Saint Charles's face did not become excited as the butler expected. On the contrary, his brows were tightly knitted, and he was secretly troubled.

The slaves the butler was talking about were not ordinary slaves, but descendants of his race who had been carefully transformed by him.

These descendants have special meaning and use to Saint Charlos, so how could he possibly exchange them with Saint Pollis?

"I will never replace these slaves because they are still of great use to me. You should return this devil fruit as soon as possible." Saint Charlos refused firmly.

Hearing this, the butler was slightly startled at first, with a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he did not expect to get such an answer.

Then, he frowned slightly and asked with some confusion: "Chief, I have checked those guys before. They are as pale as paper all day long, lying on the ground listlessly and sleeping soundly. What use can you have for keeping such a group of people?"

Facing the butler's question, Saint Charlos simply responded lightly: "You don't need to worry about this. Can't I just keep them for fun?"

However, the butler did not seem to be willing to give up and continued to persuade: "But the clan leader..."

Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her rudely: "Enough! Stop talking so much nonsense! This clan leader said no, and that means no, you ungrateful thing, get out of here right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Charlos swung the whip in his hand violently. In an instant, the huge, ferocious monster wolf seemed to be injected with endless power. After roaring to the sky, it rushed out with all its four hooves like the wind.

Its muscles were tense, and every jump created a gust of wind, while Saint Charlos sat steadily on the monster wolf's broad back with a smug smile on his face.

"Hurry up and leave, it will be troublesome if we get entangled with this guy!"

As soon as the butler saw him leaving, he immediately chased after him.

"Master Patriarch, please wait a moment! Let's discuss this matter carefully!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs and waved the devil fruit in his hand desperately, trying to attract the attention of Saint Charlos.

However, Saint Charlos turned a deaf ear to the butler's cries at this time.

Keep urging the monster wolf to speed up.

The butler tried his best to catch up with Saint Charlos and the monster wolf who were getting farther and farther ahead.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped to watch this amazing scene. Some opened their mouths in surprise, some pointed and whispered, and some cheered for the butler.

For a moment, the streets were in chaos!
