Traveling Merchant On The Grand Line

Shanks didn't say no.

He was also a little curious about the silver-haired boy in front of him.

Let Beckman take everyone to the island to purchase food and water.

He followed Kahn to a quiet shop called [Wanjie Grocery Store].

"This is my shop. It used to be a famous guy, but now it's her nap time."

Kahn invited the redhead to sit down at a table in the shop, and brought out a bottle of wine and two glasses.

The two sat opposite each other.

Shanks, who was wearing a straw hat, looked at the young store manager opposite, his eyes were more sharp and Haki than when he was at Makino Tavern.

"So, what do you want to say to me?"

Kahn didn't answer in a hurry, but filled the glass in front of him with crystal clear wine from the emerald green wine bottle.

"How much do you know about that Rubber Fruit?"

Shanks was taken aback when he heard the words, "What about Rubber Fruit? What do you mean?"

Kahn pushed the full wine glass in front of him and said, "Don't you know? Another name for that Rubber Fruit."

"Another name?"

Shanks was a little curious, "What's it called?"

He looked like he really didn't know.

Kahn's eyes moved slightly. 470 "Before I tell you, can you tell me where you got that Rubber Fruit?"

Just got it by accident. "

Kahn smiled when he heard the words, "Accidental? I don't think it was a coincidence?"

"As far as I know, a warship escorting the treasures of the Celestial Dragons was attacked before, and the treasures inside disappeared. That should be your handwriting.

"Captain of the famous Red Hair Pirates of the Grand Line, the great pirate, the red-haired Shanks."

Listen to him.

Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly.

An invisible and domineering aura radiated from him, covering the whole store in an instant, the shelves swayed, and the whole store vibrated slightly under the astonishing Haki.

Robin, who was taking a nap on the second floor, was also awakened.

But the next second.

The suffocating momentum and vibration disappeared instantly, like a flash in the pan.

Robin was full of surprise.

what happened?

First floor of the grocery store.

Accompanied by a snap of the fingers that Kahn just snapped.

An invisible barrier separates the first and second floors, enveloping the area where Kahn and Shanks are located.

Shanks stared at the silver-haired boy across the way.

Intense Haki exudes from all over.

"Don't show such a scary expression, don't worry, I'm not your enemy."

Kahn looked at him with a relaxed smile and said:

"I'm just a businessman who advocates fair trade. If you tell me what I want to know, then I will also tell you some things that I don't know, such as the secret of Rubber Fruit, why Marine specially used warships to transport this fruit to To Mariejois . . . or something."

Shanks stared at him for a while.

He put away the domineering aura on his body, and supported the straw hat on his head with his hand.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a person as Your Excellency in such a remote place. It really is someone other than others."

"Okay, let's exchange information then."

Hear him say that.

Kahn breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is still 6 years before Hongfa becomes the famous Four Emperors of the world, judging from the aura that Hongfa released just now, even if his current strength is not at the imperial level

But I'm afraid it's not that far off.

In the event of a fight, Kahn would not only have to use some trump cards, but he might also consider running away with Robin.

"The acorn (cffb) fruit was indeed obtained by me from a warship escorted by the World Government's internal secret service organization CP9.

Shanks spoke, answering Kahn's previous question.

"Then why did you rob that warship? Is it just for Rubber Fruit? Or is it for some other reason?"

"There is no other reason."

Shanks took a sip of his wine and said, "I went here just for that Devil Fruit.

"I received information and learned that there is such a Devil Fruit on that warship, which can make the world government pay so much attention to it, and it takes so much effort to get it, and a Devil Fruit escorted by a warship is absolutely extraordinary. If If you get it, it must be of great value!"

Kahn nodded.

"I see."

This reason is the same as Doflamingo's desire to seize Op-Op Fruit as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the World government, and it makes sense.

Shanks looked at him, "I've answered your question, can you tell now? What do you know about the secret of Rubber Fruit?"

Kahn didn't hide anything either. As agreed, he told Shanks about Rubber Fruit's other name and its secrets.

After listening to everything.

Shanks didn't speak for a long time.

"The fruit with the name of God, the human fruit Phantom Beast - Nika form, the liberation warrior, the sun god Nika

Shanks took a sip of his wine and murmured:

"I see, this is the secret of Rubber Fruit..."

"No wonder the World government pays so much to get it...."

"Nika...is that the name that was erased by the government?"

at this moment.

A string of memories rose from the bottom of the heart lake like foam.

Pictures and words came to mind.

It made Shanks' heart skip a beat.

He raised his head slightly, covering most of his face with a straw hat.

"Is it......"

"The passage Captain Luo Jie said...so that's what it meant!"

"finally, I understand.……."

After a while.

Shanks straightened his straw hat and looked at Kahn opposite him with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Kahn, can you please not reveal this thing about Rubber Fruit? Especially Luffy.".
