Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Give me some more food, I'm still very hungry."

"Ok."

Pokton asked Yuri to sit down, and he began to carry some easy-to-eat and digestible food from the hill and placed it in front of Yuri.

Seeing the food, Yuri started to eat it eagerly. Pokton watched him eat with a smile, then pushed the remaining food to Kuro.

“Is this enough food?”

"Eat first and see."

After saying that, Kuro picked up several cakes with one hand and stuffed them directly into his mouth. Steak, rice balls, fried chicken, Kuro ate all the food in front of him like a locust within a few minutes.

He ate so much that he turned into a fat man.

"boom."

Kuro fell on the deck, rubbing his swollen belly with his hands, a satisfied expression on his face. After a while, he took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Life returned!"

The food in the body was quickly broken down into energy as he exhaled and replenished to various parts of Kuro's body. In the blink of an eye, the obese Kuro returned to his original state.

Pokton was surprised when he saw Kuro showing the process of returning his life.

"Don't look at me yet, Pokton. Is there any food left? I'm still hungry."

"Yes, do you need so much more?"

"Give me more. What I just had is still too little."

"it is good."

Pokton went to get the food. He took a few special glances at Yuri as he passed by. When he saw that there was still a lot of food left in front of Yuri, he nodded silently.

"This is a normal human being. The guy just now was definitely not a human being."

Kuro didn't know what Pokton thought of him. He was looking at his hands with a serious expression.

"What's going on? It seems like I have gained a new devil fruit ability."

Kuro looked at the ball of golden light flowing in his palm. He was very familiar with it.

"Did you copy the Great Buddha Fruit from the Warring States period as well?"

Only then did Kuro realize that the shock wave he had blasted out not long ago was the Buddha's shock of the Great Buddha Fruit.

“Buzz~Kakaka!!!”

Then he clenched his fists and the ability of the Tremor Fruit was revealed, and the air around him continued to vibrate.

"No wonder I couldn't recover my strength just now. Now I am feeding three devil fruits. It's a good thing they didn't suck me dry."

Kuro clearly felt that the physical strength he had just recovered was rapidly draining away while he was using two abilities.

“This situation is not right.”

Kuro stood up and walked towards Yuri.

Yuri, who was eating, suddenly felt a deterrent force coming from behind, and he was so scared that he slowly turned his head.

"Bloodblood, Mr. Bloodblade, what can I do for you?"

"You're a colleague of Vegapunk, right?"

"We can't say we are colleagues, we just do research together."

“That’s a colleague.”

Kuro said as he picked up Yuri's unfinished food on the ground and started eating it.

"Since you are colleagues, you should know something about his research on devil fruits, right?"

"Devil Fruit? I know something about this. When he came to Egg Point Island with the results of his research on the system factor, he shocked all of us. After that, he began to..."

At this point Yuri suddenly remembered something, lowered his head and continued eating without saying anything else.

"Go on, what happens next?"

"Nothing, those are his research, I'm not too sure."

Yuri smiled. He suddenly remembered what the World Government threatened them when they formed Egg Point Island.

"No information about Danjian Island needs to be leaked, otherwise he will be hunted down by the entire navy."

Yuri quickly shut his mouth when he thought of this. He was now full of fear of the World Government.

"Next time you lie, can you pay attention to your facial expressions? You are almost telling me you are lying."

With a guilty expression, evasive eyes, and a forced smile, this guy perfectly interpreted the word "against one's will", even with a bit of affectation.

"No, I really don't know anything about devil fruits. My research project focuses on the development of new energy sources. I really didn't lie about this."

"Then you are admitting that you lied?"

Yuri was stumped by Kuro's question and looked at him awkwardly without saying anything.

Kuro labeled this guy as brainless in his mind.

"Forget it, let me talk to you in another way. If I want you to research something similar to a devil fruit, can you make it?"

"That's not something I can do."

Yuri smiled and shook his head. If he could do such a thing, he would not have been sent to Wano Country.

Kuro felt a little disappointed after hearing this. He thought Yuri would be as familiar with bloodline factors as the people in Mads.

But it doesn’t matter. After all, they are researchers that I tried my best to protect, so I still have to take good care of them.

"Under the current circumstances, you probably won't be able to return to the World Government. Just live well on my ship from now on."

Kuro's serious tone touched Yuri a little. After all, his body was completely disabled now. Not to mention scientific research, even eating was inconvenient for him.

"Thank you, Mr. Bloody Blade."

"Call me Captain. I still prefer the name used among pirates."

"Okay, Captain Bloody Blade."

The two smiled at each other, and just at this moment, Pokton came back pushing a bigger mountain of food.

"The food is coming."

"Wow!"

A large amount of food was brought to Kuro. Kuro tore open the packaging and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Yuri was already full, so he just sat quietly beside him, watching Kuro eat with a grim expression.

Polkton came up to him.

"You also think this guy is not human, right?"

"How to say?"

Yuri turned around and wondered why Pock-ton said that.

"Look at how much this guy eats. My database tells me that he can't eat as much as ordinary wild animals."

Pokton stretched out his little hand to gesture at the mountain of food in front of him, then pointed at Kuro who was eating frantically, and shook his head seriously.

Yuri laughed at this expression and nodded in agreement.

"You have a point."

"Right? My database was compiled by Dr. Thales using information from the entire continent. There is absolutely no way it can be wrong."

When mentioning Dr. Thales, Pokton showed a proud expression on his face, but Yuri was not familiar with this name and only thought that it was the builder of this ship.

Time passed slowly. Luo searched in the sea for a day and a night, and finally floated back to the surface reluctantly.

After waiting in the air for a day and a night, Clo quickly flew up after seeing the submarine.

“Dangdang~Bang!”

The submarine's hatch opened and Luo walked out with a tired look on his face.

"How about it?"

Chloe asked nervously.

"No, we searched for a long time under the sea, but we still couldn't find Master Kuro."

Luo shook his head and said helplessly, and Clo clenched his fists after hearing this.
