Chapter 16 I Am A Soldier, You Are A Thief
"Adams Dylan?"
Not long after leaving the door of "Shakky's Ripped-off Bar", a woman's voice sounded behind Dylan.
A woman who was about 40 tall was standing on the corner of the street, with a hood over her head.
Dylan looked at her and didn't speak.
Today is the day when Linlin and him agreed to "pay the money", and the people who came should be from the Charlotte family.
So tall, long-legged?
"Smoogey?" Dylan raised his eyebrows. It seems that there is no such thing as a three-star dessert at this time, but Smoothie should also be very high in the ranking of the Big Mom Pirates.
Sending this kind of guy, could it be that Linlin wants to prostitute for nothing?
The woman standing against the wall shook her head. "I'm Charlotte Snamon, and Smoothie is my sister."
"HO~ What, it turned out to be a nobody, did you bring anything?"
Anger flashed across Charlotte Snarmon's hooded face, but it didn't flare up.
After all, this man can easily defeat Daifuku Big Brother, and it is really difficult to compete with her strength.
"Do you check the goods here?"
"Hmm..." Dylan didn't intend to inspect the goods at first, but the other party seemed to have a deep meaning: "Go to the bar in front."
Charlotte Snamon silently followed Dylan into "Shakky's Ripped-off Bar".
"Miss Boss, Dong Peili."
When Shakky behind the bar saw the two of them, he was startled for a moment, and then smiled freely.
"Ah, what a rare distinguished guest, thank you for taking care of me."
Rayleigh who was sitting in the corner narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Dylan walking in: "Brother Marine..."
"It's none of your business, old man, drink your bar."
After choking Rayleigh back, Dylan walked to the front of the bar and sat down, looking at Charlotte Snamon: "What good things do I need to inspect? Could it be Logia? Or a phantom beast?"
In the corner, Rayleigh cocked his ears and followed Dylan's every move.
"It's the Paramecia fruit—the fruit of the city." Charlotte Snamon opened the suitcase in her hand, revealing a gray-white Devil Fruit, and the pattern on the surface of the fruit showed the same texture as a slate.
Dylan took the Jiancheng fruit and looked at Shakky: "Miss Boss, is it a genuine product?"
Shakky covered his mouth and smiled: "It is indeed the fruit of the strong city, it is a fruit with a very unique effect."
"Hey, I asked you to help inspect the goods. I didn't ask you to add value to him. It's difficult for me to do business like you, lady boss."
"Is that so?"
Shakky elegantly exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Brother Marine, then, Dong Pai Li will be my treat."
Dylan was playing with the Fortress Fruit in his hand, and turned his head to look at Charlotte Snamon who was standing beside him: "It's kind of useful, but... there is no saying that a mere Paramecia fruit is worth more than Daifuku's life, right?"
Charlotte Snamon shook her head: "Of course it doesn't mean that. It's just to ensure the face-to-face transaction, and also to show the sincerity of the Charlotte family. Mom means that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"HO~ Is that so?" Dylan stroked his chin, examining Charlotte Snarmon.
The BIG MOM pirate group, although one of the Four Emperors groups after a few years, is the weakest.
Linlin itself is extremely unstable, with cravings, a nun, and six relatives who have gone mad.
Even every member of Totto Land has to surrender his soul and lifespan to Linlin.
Many unstable factors make this seemingly huge pirate group full of loopholes.
"Go back and tell Linlin that the deal is over. As for the rest, let's talk about it later."
Dylan waved and Charlotte Snamon walked out of "Shakky's Ripped-off Bar" in silence
Shakky crossed his arms over his chest, watching Dylan tap his fingers on the bar.
Rayleigh in the corner sat down next to Dylan without moving.
"Brother Marine, have we met? You seem to have an inexplicable hostility towards me?" Rayleigh put one hand on the bar and held the bottle in the other.
"You are a thief, I am a soldier. Isn't it normal for me to be hostile to you? Is it because you are 'Roger's right arm - Pluton Rayleigh' that I should abandon my beliefs and positions?"
Dylan put the Fortress Fruit back into the box, stood up and shook his cloak: "You and I are naturally opposed, but you have stopped for many years, and Garp didn't kill you all back then, which means that you are not evil. But Rayleigh... "..."
"Shanks should have come to you, right? I'll say the same thing to you again, and only once. I don't care if you raise your old age, but don't cross the line. You have your persistence and waiting, and I have mine .”
Hearing the word "wait", Rayleigh's glasses flashed: "Oh? You..."
Before he could speak, Dylan pushed the door open and walked out, leaving Rayleigh sitting there in deep thought.
Shakky came around from behind the bar and walked behind Rayleigh and stroked his back lightly.
"What? Are you worried about the 'fire' of the new era? This is not like you."
Rayleigh raised his head and took a sip of his drink. After a moment of silence, he asked Shakky, "Shakky, were we this strong when we were young?"
Shakky thought for a while with a cigarette in his hand, then shook his head: "He didn't make a move, I can't judge, but what is certain is that at the same age, he is far stronger than you and Roger."
"Yeah..." Rayleigh looked a little lonely: "He should be a few years younger than Shanks. Since Shanks met him, the will of 'Tinder' has been shaken."
"Rayleigh..." Shakky sat down with his back against the bar, and looked sideways at Rayleigh: "Your mission has been completed, the 'fire' has been passed on smoothly, and the next thing should depend on fate arranged."
"Fate?" Rayleigh laughed at himself: "It turns out that one day we can only silently wait for the arrangement of fate."
"It's always been like this, isn't it?"

Holy Land - Mariejois.
In the huge palace, the Five Elders are gathered together.
"According to CP's intelligence, Adams Dylan appears to have made some sort of deal with Charlotte Linlin and made contact with 'Pluton' Rayleigh."
The bearded Five Elders shook the information on his hand: "What do you think?"
Five Elders, holding a long knife, said casually while wiping his weapon: "I don't think you need to care about it. From his past experience, he is indeed not a pedantic person. Trading with pirates, as long as it is beneficial to the stability of the world It’s not impossible.”
Five Elders, who had a birthmark on his head, crossed his hands and seemed to disagree: "This man... is still shrouded in fog. His strength is unquestionable, but some of the special abilities he displayed have to be worrying." ... Is it possible that he is also one of the 'Lamps'? Or ... 'Tinder'?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, but I don't think the chance is high. After all, after joining the Marine camp, it will be difficult for him to get the recognition and help of those ancient families. It is almost equivalent to losing the right to become a 'fire seed'."
The scene fell silent for a while, and the blond Five Elders said after thinking for a while: "Since it is difficult to distinguish, then... let's ask Lord Im for instructions... I believe he will give us the correct guidance. "
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
······
G5 base.
After two months of construction, the base has taken on a new look.
Inside the base, Bellmel sits in Dylan's office with his legs crossed, wearing the cape of Lieutenant Commander.
"Rear Admiral, I heard from the people in this department that you are like a demon king in East Blue. Why has there been no movement for so long on the great route?"
Dylan put his feet up on the table and glanced at Bellmel and Shiryu.
"Do I have to say it's because you are too weak? This is the 'New World' not the 'Paradise', let alone the world. If you go out to 'hunt', you will easily come into contact with the big pirates. With G5's current level ,not enough."
"So that's it. G5's usable combat power is really not much." Shiryu said while wiping the blade of "Thunderstorm".
"Ah~~ I'm really underestimated." Bellmel leaned back on the sofa, humming boredly.
Shiryu turned his head slightly to look at Bell Mel, paused and said: "Although I don't know why Dylan values you so much, I think you should go to battle to improve better. After all, your talent is better than that of the boatman outside. It’s really far from it.”
Hearing the word "boatman", Bell's expression froze.
Tom that guy...
After mastering the armed color hardening, it is matched with his incomparable strange power.
In terms of strength alone, even monsters like Dylan are slightly inferior to him.
Even at this point, Dylan still requires him to practice his armor hardening and strength uninterruptedly.
So near the G5 base, you can often see a fat body carrying two warships on its shoulders doing leapfrogs along the beach.
As for the armed color...
Tom simply covered and stood still and let Bellmel attack him. It was Bellmel himself who was injured.
"Damn! Aren't we all human? How could the gap be so huge!" Bellmel slapped the table.
poof~~~~~
Shiryu exhaled smoke: "That guy is not human, he is a murloc."
Bell Meier looked up at Shiryu: "What about you, you are human, right?"
Shiryu squinted his eyes and clamped the cigar with three fingers: "Even human beings are very different. Like him."
Shiryu raised his chin in the direction of Dylan: "Even if there is no fruit, he is the top existence in the sea in terms of Haki, swordsmanship, and physical skills alone. And..."
Shiryu put Lei Yu back into the scabbard: "How old is he?"
Hearing Shiryu's words, Bell broke his guard and quit the group chat cursing.
After Bell went out, Dylan shook the chair and said to Shiryu: "You are right, her potential cannot be stimulated through exercise, so let her go to West Blue in two days. Go to Flower Guo Lian Lian Shou, you follow quietly, unless you are in danger of death, otherwise you don't have to worry about him."
"The Kingdom of Flowers... Is it the Eight Treasures Navy? I heard that there are also some troublesome guys in it."
"It's not a big problem." Dylan stretched his body, "With your current strength, you should be able to deal with green peppers."
"'Chief' green pepper?" There was a red light in Shiryu's eyes.
Sensing the madness in Shiryu's emotions, Dylan frowned:
"Your task is to keep an eye on Bell Mel, not to vent your desire to kill blindly. The 'will' of 'Ashura' is to challenge the strong, not slaughter the weak for no reason, Shiryu."
"To understanding!"
Shiryu nodded slightly, signaling that he understood.
