Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

Three days later, on Xixis Island.

This is a beautiful but desolate island located in the middle of East Blue.

There are unique ocean currents near the island, causing any approaching ship to be swept in by wind and waves, making them unable to leave.

But for a ship as big as the Thriller Bark.

There are no worries at all.

Following Luke's order, thousands of zombies were dispatched directly, rummaging every corner of the island.

"Luke, is there really Devil Fruit here?"

Looking at the island, Robin was full of surprise.

"According to the information I received, there is a high probability that a Devil Fruit is here..." Luke shrugged.

He knew very well that Ace, who had been accidentally swept here by the waves, had gotten the Flame-Flame Fruit here.

But there's no way to know for sure if the Flame-Flame Fruit is currently on this island.

After all, it was two years early. Maybe the devil fruit would be blown by the wind and waves in the future.

But now that they are in East Blue, he can't miss it without trying.

"The legendary treasure of the sea... is worth more than 100 million Belly!"

Nami, on the side, clenched her little fist with shining eyes.

Although Arlong Park was destroyed early, she has become a money-grubber at this moment. 

"Nami, you are really a money grubber!"

Nojiko looked at her sister helplessly.

After three days, the two sisters have gradually adapted to life in the Netherworld Pirate.

It's just that they have to follow everyone for rigorous training early every morning. 

It's really miserable for them without any foundation.

Other than that, the others are good.

Regardless of whether it is Luke, Robin, Reiju, Perona and others, although they all have weird tempers, they are all surprisingly easy to get along with.

"Found it, Luke-sama!"

At noon, a zombie suddenly shouted, attracting Luke and others' attention.

He ran over while holding an orange-red spherical fruit with a spiral pattern that looked like a dragon fruit.

"This is... the Flame-Flame Fruit!" Looking at the fiery red fruit, Robin's pupils shrank sharply, full of disbelief.

She has read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, so she immediately recognized this fruit and was a little shocked.

"Hey, it looks like the information is correct... And it's a pretty good Logia fruit!" 

Luke chuckled as he took the Flame-Flame Fruit from the zombie's hand.

"Really?"

"Show me!"

"So this is Devil Fruit!"

Hearing the noise, Nami, Perona, Nojiko, and others who ran to the rest area were a little bored waiting.

They all ran over and looked at the Flame-Flame Fruit in Luke's hand with surprise.

"Here!" Luke smiled, and then he threw the Flame-Flame Fruit to them and let them take turns playing with it.

"Hiss~ Hiss ~ Hiss~, in this case, our Netherworld Pirate will soon have two top Logia devil fruit users!" Hogback said with a grin on his face, while full of excitement.

How could he not be excited?

You must know that the three Admirals who represent the highest combat power of Naval Headquarters are the top Logia devil fruit users.

Although the three Admirals themselves have quite amazing talent and strength.

But the power of Logia is self-evident.

"Well, I'm pretty lucky..."

Luke said with satisfaction.

He originally just wanted to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, he actually found it.

As for whether Fire Fist Ace will appear in the future, this has nothing to do with him.

"Little ones, get ready to set sail and leave here!"

Luke raised his right arm and gave orders there.

Now that they have found Flame-Flame Fruit, there is no need to stay here anymore.

"Oh-oh—"

Time flies; in the blink of an eye, another two days have passed.

The huge Thriller Bark moved slowly on the sea.

At this moment, Luke had no intention of giving the Flame-Flame Fruit or other devil fruit to the two sisters, Nami and Nojiko.

He had other plans for the two sisters.

After all, they were not expected to become such a powerful combat force from the beginning.

Relatively speaking, Luke planned to make the two sisters become auxiliary Paramecia devil fruit users.

For example, Book-Book Fruit, Castle-Castle Fruit, or even the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.

This type of auxiliary Paramecia Devil Fruit is more convenient, and we're very good.

"Damn it… let me go!"

This day, several zombies escorted a 13-14-year-old purple-haired girl with a gray face to the No. 1 training ground: "Robin-sama, we caught a thief!"

"Oh? A thief?"

Looking at this girl who is similar in age to Nami and Nojiko, they were full of surprise: "She is surprisingly young..."

It's not just Robin.

Nami, Reiju, Nojiko, and others present were all a little surprised…

They all came over and looked at the female thief, who was tied tightly.

"I'm really not a thief!"

Looking at the mature and beautiful Robin in front of her.

Carina was pitiful and begged for mercy: "I was just an ordinary girl who ended up here accidentally... Please let me go!"

"Yeah?"

Next to them was Luke, who had just finished training and received the report.

Looking at this purple-haired girl, he recognized her immediately and said with amusement, 

"You are not ordinary at all... Phantom Thief Carina!"

"Huh?" Carina froze.

Turning her head, she looked at the handsome man with his bare upper body and perfect muscle lines.

Cold sweat dripped down her face; had her identity been exposed?

"Phantom Thief Carina?"

Little Nami tilted her head and suddenly realized: "I think I've heard of it!"

In the past two or three years, in order to make up for the 100 million Belly agreement with Arlong, she had already started going out to sea alone to steal the belongings of pirates and merchants.

She has also heard someone mention the name of her colleague, Phantom Thief Carina.

It is said that she is a very smart, cunning, greedy, and tooth-gnawing female thief.

"Luke, do you know her?" Robin asked with a smile.

"Because when I was sorting out those intelligence materials in the CP organization, I paid more attention to the young and potential newcomers in the world, so I recognized her!"

Looking at Carina, who became panicked, Luke said nonchalantly.

Unexpectedly, there will be another little girl on his ship.

This girl has a flexible mind, is smart and alert, and is indeed a good talent.

He can consider letting Robin teach her.

After all, a team cannot be made up of reckless men who only know how to fight and kill.

Intelligence, logistics, management, etc. are all indispensable.

So next, at Luke's kind invitation.

Without any surprise, Carina happily agreed to join the Netherworld Pirate on the spot.

Moreover, at only fourteen years old, one year older than Nami, she showed excellent communication skills.

Soon, she got to know Nami and Nojiko, the two sisters of similar age.

As for whether this girl was thinking about running away, it's hard to say.

But as smart as she is, she has fully realized how powerful the Netherworld Pirates are.

If she is not completely sure, she will obviously not do such a stupid thing.
