One Piece Talent System

Island number forty-seven.

About a dozen people were walking slowly from the edge of the street without attracting anyone's attention. Even ordinary people who noticed these people immediately turned their eyes away.

Among the dozen or so people, many of them have a circular smiley face logo on their shoulders or behind their backs, which is the symbol of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Wuhais under the King.

Go for a while.

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

"Did you bring something?"

Among the members of the Don Quixote family, Gradius, the bomber headed, walked forward and asked the man in black in a deep voice.

The man in black spread his hands and said, "How could the boss give me such an important thing to carry with me? I'm just here to connect with you, and then take you to the trading location we set."

"Hmph, you are really cautious."

Gradius snorted coldly.

The man in black smiled and said: "After all, you are the famous Don Quixote family. We are only small people. Of course, we have to be vigilant. Have you brought the money?"

Gradius stared at the man in black, his eyes flashed twice, he waved his hand, and several members of the Don Quixote family behind him stepped forward and opened the box they were carrying. Bailey.

"..."

The man in black looked at Bailey in the box, showing a touch of greed, after swallowing his saliva, he said to Gradius: "For 400 million Baileys and arms worth 500 million, there is only Bailey here. "

Gradius said with his face unchanged: "It is impossible to trade so many arms here at one time. You can take us to the trading place, but don't play tricks!"

"bring it on."

The man in black smirked and said, "Our boss has prepared something for you."

Under the leadership of the man in black, Gradius and the others put away Bailey who was carrying the money, left the dark alley, and walked towards a pier somewhere on the shore.

And just as they left, a cloaked shadow suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked at the direction in which Gradius and the others were leaving, with a slight expression on his face. Weird smile.

"Hohoho, the Don Quixote family, the forces to be dealt with next... What exactly is such a large transaction?"

Just as Lafitte was about to follow, the phone worm in his pocket suddenly rang, he connected the phone worm, and from the other side came the voice of Robin asking him to return to the ship to gather.

"...Well, I know, but I found something interesting here. A big deal from the Don Quixote family may have unexpected results."

Robin on the other side of the phone worm was silent for a while, and then relayed what Rhodes meant: "The captain said you can move freely and pay attention to safety."

"OK."

The corner of Lafitte's mouth raised a sinister arc, put the phone bug into his pocket, turned into a black shadow, and quietly followed Gradius and the others.

Gradius and the others went more and more remote, and gradually walked towards the periphery of the island, but Lafitte's concealment and tracking ability was unquestionable, and even so, it was still easy to follow behind without being noticed by anyone.

finally.

Gradius and members of the Don Quixote family came to a shore in the Chambord Archipelago, and a medium-sized ship was parked alone on this remote shore.

"Boss, here comes the Don Quixote family."

The leading man in black came to the side of the boat and shouted at the boat, and then heard footsteps coming from the boat, and soon a man wearing a captain's hat and a brown beard walked off the boat with twenty subordinates. Down, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Gradius stared at the wooden box in the other's hand, waved at his subordinates, and asked his subordinates to open the box again, revealing a large amount of Baileys inside.

"Well, 400 million Baileys..."

The brown-bearded captain looked at the boxes of Bailey, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. He slowly opened the wooden boxes in front of him.

In that shabby wooden box, there was a devil fruit in full bloom. Its appearance was quite different from the animal type and superhuman type. The whole body was khaki yellow, and it seemed to be covered with sand.

Nature... rustling fruit!

Nearly two years have passed since the death of the sand crocodile, and this natural devil fruit has finally reappeared on the sea!

The Don Quixote family's transactions in the dark world are spread all over the sea. After Ace's death, they can find the burning fruit, and naturally they have the ability to find the rustling fruit!

"This is the natural system, the fruit of rustling."

Gladius looked at the delicate devil fruit, and his eyes flickered. Although he had eaten the superhuman-type explosion fruit, he still showed extremely serious and solemnity towards this 900 million natural-type rustling fruit. look.

If they can get this devil fruit, the Don Quixote family can easily cultivate another cadre or even the top cadre, and expand their power.

"Then deal."

Gradius took a deep breath, motioned his subordinates to deliver the money, and at the same time reached for the rustling fruit in the wooden box.

Whether the next step is to turn his face directly, overturn the transaction to take back Bailey, or just complete the transaction, this fruit is the most important, and it must be obtained first.

However.

Just as Gradius reached out and grabbed the rustling fruit, a cylindrical object the size of a thumb suddenly flew over from a distance and fell into the field.

boom!

Before the thing fell, it suddenly burst open, and instantly turned into a cloud of mist, instantly covering the entire area of ​​tens of meters.

Captain Brownbeard was startled, and subconsciously he was about to take back the wooden box in his hand. Seeing this, Gradius suddenly tightened his expression and stepped forward to grab it.

But.

Just when his fingers were about to touch the wooden box, a mahogany walking stick suddenly protruded from the fog, slammed the wooden box out of Brownbeard's hand, and knocked on the back of his hand at the same time.

Gradius felt a pain in the back of his hand, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

who? !

How dare you intervene in their Don Quixote family's transactions!

Under the anger, Gradius did not step back, his fingers flicked, and he suddenly threw a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, covering the area.

boom! boom! boom!

The violent explosion roared in the field, and instantly dissipated the diffuse smoke, and there were also screams of people who were accidentally injured, but Gradius couldn't care so much anymore, and the fruit of rust was absolutely impossible. was robbed!

While bombing the person who dared to snatch the rustling fruit, Gradius jumped, passed through the smoke, rushed into the air where the wooden box was picked up, stuck out his right hand, and grabbed the wooden box.

"Dare to destroy the business of the Don Quixote family..."

Grabbing the wooden box in his hand, Gradius' face returned to indifference, he snorted coldly, and looked down at the area he bombed.

The fog dissipated, and there was no one in that area, except for a spot of cherry blossom petals.

"It's pretty quick to escape!"

Gladius' eyes flashed coldly, and then he slowly looked at the wooden box in his hand and slowly opened the wooden box.

But the moment the wooden box was opened, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.

The wooden box was empty, and the Devil Fruit had long since disappeared, replaced by three pink cherry blossom petals, echoing the clump of petals on the ground, as if mocking him for being an idiot.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!!!"

"Who, who is it?!"

Gradius' face was ashen, his teeth were clenched, his face was full of rage and fury, and he was about to activate the devil fruit ability to blast this area, but no matter how he searched, he could no longer find it. see any traces.

The only thing that left an impression on him was the mahogany cane, and the dark shadow that was hidden in the fog and only saw a little figure.
