Chapter 148-149

Island No. 47.

About a dozen people were slowly pa.s.sing by the edge of the street and did not attract anyone's attention. Even the ordinary people who noticed these people immediately regained their gaze.

Many of the dozen or so people have a circular smiling face sign on their shoulders or behind their backs, which is the symbol of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo.

Walking for a while.

More than a dozen people met a black man who had been waiting here in a dark corner.

"Did you bring it?"

Among the people from the Donquixote Family, the leader Gladius walked forward and asked the black man.

The black man stood up and said, "How can the boss give me something so important to carry with me? I'm just here to connect with you and take you to our designated trading place."

"Huh, you are really cautious."

Gladius snorted.

The black man laughed and said, "After all, you are the famous Donquixote Family. We are just small-time people. We naturally have to be on guard. Did you bring all the money with you?"

Gladius stared at the black man for two flickers and waved. Several Donquixote Family members behind him stepped forward and opened the suitcase, which was densely packed with Berries of the largest denomination.

Looking at Berries in the box, the black man swallowed his saliva and said to Gladius, "The deal was 400 million Berries and 500 million worth of ammunition, but I only see Berries here."

Gladius's face remained unchanged. "Arms can't be traded here all at once. You can take us to the trading place, don't play any tricks!"

"Come on."

The black man smiled and said: "Our boss has prepared things for you."

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the black man, Gladius and others took up the loaded Berries and left the dark alleyway and headed for a sh.o.r.e dock.

Just before they left, a shadow in a cloak suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked in the direction of Gladius and others'departure, with a slightly weird smile on his face.

"Whoop, Donquixote Family, the next force to deal with… What on earth is such a large deal?

Just as Laffitte was about to follow him, The Den Den Mus.h.i.+ in his pocket suddenly sounded. He connected Den Den Mus.h.i.+ and on the other side came Robin's voice calling him back to the s.h.i.+p to a.s.semble.

"… Well, I know, but I've found something interesting here. A big deal for Donquixote Family could have an unexpected payoff for us."

After a moment of silence on the other side of Den Den Mus.h.i.+, Robin relayed Ross's message: "Captain says you can move freely and be safe."

"All right."

Laffitte raised a strange curve at his mouth, put the Den Den Mus.h.i.+ in his pocket, turned into a dark shadow and quietly followed Gladius and others.

Gladius and others moved more and more remote towards the outskirts of the island, but Laffitte's concealment and tracking abilities were beyond doubt and even so, he can still easily follow them, without anyone noticing.

Finally.

Gladius and the members of Donquixote Family came to a sh.o.r.e of the Sabaody Archipelago, where a medium-sized s.h.i.+p was parked alone on this remote sh.o.r.e.

"Boss, the people of Donquixote Family are here."

The leading black man came to the side of the s.h.i.+p and shouted at the s.h.i.+p. Then they heard footsteps sound coming from the s.h.i.+p. Soon a man with a Captain cap and a brown beard came down with twenty men and a wooden box in his hand.

Gladius glanced at the wooden box in the captain's hand, waved to his subordinates and asked them to open it again and revealed a large number of Berries in it.

"Well, 400 million Berries…"

The brown-bearded Captain looked at the box of Berries, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with greed and a smile on his face. He slowly opened the box in front of him.

In the dilapidated wooden box, there is a Devil Fruit, which has a big difference from Zoan and Paramecia. The whole body is khaki in color and the surface looks like sand.

Logia…Sand Sand Fruit!

Nearly two years after the death of the sand Crocodile, this Logia Devil Fruit finally appeared on the sea again!

Donquixote Family trades in the dark world, all over the sea. After Ace's death, they found his devil fruit, so it is not surprising that they will be able to find other devil fruits.

"This is Logia's, Sand Sand Devil Fruit."

Gladius looked at the exquisite Devil Fruit, and his eyes flashed. Although he had already eaten Paramecia's explosion fruit but for this 900 million Logia Sand Sand Fruit, he still showed a serious and solemn look.

With this Devil Fruit, Donquixote Family can easily cultivate a cadre or even a top cadre and expand its influence.

"Then, close the deal."

Gladius took a deep breath and signaled his men to deliver the money, while at the same time he reached for the devil fruit in the wooden box.

Whether the next step is to turn the tables directly, overturn the deal and recapture the Berries, or just complete the deal, this fruit is the most important, he has to get his hands on it.

However.

Just as Gladius was grabbing at the sand fruit, a thumb-sized cylindrical object suddenly flew over from a distance and landed in the field.

Bang!

Before it fell, it burst apart abruptly, instantly turning into a ma.s.s of fog and instantly covering the area of tens of meters squared.

The brown-bearded Captain was shocked. Subconsciously, he had to retrieve the wooden box in his hand. Gladius looked very mad when he saw it. He stepped forward and grabbed it.

But.

Just as his finger was about to touch the wooden box, a mahogany cane popped out of the mist, banged the wooden box in the brown beard's hand out, and knocked on the back of his hand.

Gladius had a pain in the back of his hand and a flash of anger in his eyes.

Who?

Who Dare to intervene in their Donquixote Family deal!

In anger, Gladius did not retreat, and his fingers shook, throwing a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, enveloping the area.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent explosion in the field blew and instantly dispersed the diffuse smoke, which was also mixed with the screams of the accidentally injured men, but Gladius could not care so much, the sand fruit must not be robbed.

While the after-effects of the explosion were still continuing, Gladius jumped through the smoke and charged towards the wooden box and picked it up with his right hand.

"Dare to destroy Donquixote Family's business…"

Grabbing the wooden box in his hand, Gladius regained his indifference and snorted coldly and looked down at the area which he had blown up.

When the mist cleared, there was no shadow in the area, only one cherry petal.

"He is quick to escape!"

Gladius looked slowly at the wooden box in his hand and opened it slowly.

But the moment the box opened, the expression on his face became stiff.

The box was empty, and Devil Fruit had disappeared, replaced by three pink cherry petals, echoing the flock of petals on the ground, as if laughing at him for being an idiot.

d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n it!!!!

"Who is it, who is it?!"

Gladius's face was blue and green as he gritted his teeth, his face showing sorrow and anger and he was about to launch his Devil Fruit ability to blow up the area, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any traces anymore.

The only thing that impressed upon him was the mahogany cane, the one hidden in the fog, and the only shadow of his figure.

Sabaody Archipelago

Ross doesn't know anything about Laffitte, but he's going to go against Donquixote Family sooner or later. It's easy to do it one step ahead of time. What's more, the deal Laffitte found may be something of high value, such as one of the Great Grade Swords.

Ross no longer needs to use his fist to stimulate the power of distortion after awakening his fruit power. He can easily concentrate the power of distortions on weapons such as swords, and then throw them out, just like Whitebeard's shock ability.

If he could get a good sword then it will be even better for him.

After letting Robin and Laffitte return to the s.h.i.+p first, Ross searched for a person's existence on the island according to his memory… Roger Pirates Vice Captain, Dark King Rayleigh.

Dark King Rayleigh's hanging bounty is as high as 2 billion Berries, but now Ross cannot defeat Rayleigh and will be beaten by him, he also has no plans of self-abuse, the reason why he intends to find Rayleigh is to see whether he can get some useful information from Rayleigh's mouth.

Ross knows a lot of secrets from his memory, but there are more things that he doesn't know. Compared to him, Rayleigh knows a lot more and a lot of information has a great effect.

Unfortunately.

After searching four or five islands, he could not find any trace of Rayleigh and a lot of time has been pa.s.sed and a Marine Admiral will be coming here soon.

"Time to go."

Ross didn't mind fighting Marine Admiral, but he didn't plan to fight Admiral in the Sabaody Archipelago. First of all, he certainly couldn't fight. Second, even if he could, what about another Admiral? Marine Headquarters is right next to Sabaody Archipelago.

And just as Ross turned around, judged the direction, and began to return, there was a strange silence on the road ahead.

Immediately afterward.

He saw that in the distant streets, pedestrians stopped, like dominoes, kneeling down one by one and bowing to the ground as if to welcome the emperor.

In the silence, everyone dared not breathe. At the end of the street, a man with bubbles on his head was sitting on the back of a slave, who crawled hard on the ground on all fours.

World n.o.ble…tenryubito!

The descendants of the "kings" who founded the World Government 800 years ago have the Supreme privilege, and all laws do not hold true for them and any offensive act will be regarded as a death penalty that can be killed on the spot.

"There is nothing fun today."

Saint Charles rode slowly on his slave and yawned, showing a silly look. Several subordinates beside him followed respectfully and did not dare to answer at will.

At this moment, he casually skipped and saw a young girl kneeling on the left side. His eyes flashed and his head looked at her for a second.

"It looks pretty good, Let's choose her as the wife of my new house."

"Yes."

The subordinate next to him immediately responded respectfully and said, "Go and handle the procedure for welcoming Mrs. 21 to Holy Land Mariejois right away."

At the same time, several subordinates with indifferent faces approached the girl on her knees, ignoring her panic expression, and seized her.

The people next to them saw this scene, all of them were full of horror, but no one dared to say anything. They were all sweating kneeling on the ground. The whole street except for the girl's panic and crying is dead silence.

It is a death sentence to commit a crime against tenryubito.

Offending a tenryubito will directly invite a Marine Admiral on their head!

TheSabaody Archipelago is the back garden of tenryubito. n.o.body dares to offend tenryubito here. Even the wicked pirate and Supernova in the first half of Grand Line who sailed here are all unanimous in their choice and tolerance when facing tenryubito.

As for those who have not yielded, they have fallen under the hands of Marine Admiral, paying the price for their actions, and writing a b.l.o.o.d.y warning for later generations!

No one dares to speak.

No one dares to do anything.

Everyone watched as Tenryubito's guards grabbed the girl and slowly moved on.

Some of the people who knew the girl gritted their teeth and their hearts were filled with grief. What was the point of their existence? But no one dares to stand up even if they are angry.

Despite the azure blue sky, the threats of tenryubito and the World Government, as well as Marine Admiral, seem like a mountain of black clouds, which are pressing against the sky, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

However.

In this silent repression, Tenryubito, sitting on a slave, suddenly flashed a glance of anger and looked ahead at the street.

"Hey, that fellow, don't you want to live? How dare you stand there!"

In front of a kneeling street, there is a figure standing there, standing is only the most common posture, but here, in front of tenryubito, it is extremely rare.

The people there, listening to the sound of tenryubito's anger, looked up in horror and at the figure standing in front of the street.

At this time, someone dared to stand?

"Humanity……"

Ross looked at Saint Charles with indifferent eyes. His voice was calm and gentle. He said, "How can you kneel down to the garbage?"

On a quiet street, Ross's voice echoed clearly and all the people who were kneeling there were all horrified and their eyes were wide open.

Who is this guy?

Didn't he know what would happen if he said that?!

Saint Charles was there and it was the first time he had ever heard someone dared to say such a thing in front of him.

In a moment of anger, his ugly face was completely deformed, his angry teeth were gnashed, his breath was aroused, and his hands were pinched dead.

"Tra…b.a.s.t.a.r.d…"

Seeing Tenryubito s.h.i.+vering and unable to speak clearly, the guards and attendants next to him were somewhat shocked. One of them shouted at Ross:

"Do you know what you said?! Do you know who he is, hurry and kneel down and pray for forgiveness!"

While squatting, several guards stepped forward.

But before they came to Ross, a strange force suddenly came and crushed several people's bodies into the street in an instant. Together with the area several meters square, it collapsed suddenly and a huge pit appeared.

See this scene, many people kneeling on both sides of the street, are showing some surprise, He dares to offend tenryubito, he is indeed not an ordinary person ah.

"He is…pirate…"

"Captain of Ghost Hand Pirates', Ghost Hand Ross…"

Some people looked at Ross and recognized his ident.i.ty. His eyes were slightly widened as no one thought that there would be a pirate standing up at this time.

No

It should be said that he never knelt down from the beginning.

"He's not afraid of Marine Admiral?!"

"If you offend tenryubito, you'll attract Marine Admiral."

Many people were in a trance, and once again there was depression in their hearts. A Pirate stood up and provoked Tenryubito, but what about that?

In the past, pirates have provoked tenryubito, but they have been overwhelmed by Marine Admiral. If the privileges and ident.i.ties of tenryubito are the sources of their inner grief, then the existence of Marine Admiral is like the heavy black clouds in the sky!

That will never fade, the dark cloud of despair!
