The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Tsk, you actually ran in front of me?"

Just as Rossi was about to approach the dock, he stopped.

Because a young man in a black suit, wearing a floral scarf, and with short black slightly curly hair slicked back stood in front of him.

Senior Pique,

The other party must have come from the orphanage, and could he get ahead of Rossi? In other words, could he have already eaten the 'Water Fruit'?

Water fruits sound like they are of the 'natural type', but they are not.

This ability will turn part of the ground or wall into a water-like rippled substance. The user can freely dive into the surface of the ground or wall, just like swimming, allowing himself to travel through different dimensions. of rapid movement.

To put it simply, you can think of this ability as the Devil Fruit version of 'Tokuyo Sun'.

Or it might be more appropriate to call it 'swimming fruit'.

It was precisely because he could swim in a straight line across the earth that he was able to stop Rossi.

"Whatever you want to say, there is no need, - for we will be leaving the city in a moment."

Now that he has decided not to wade into this muddy water, of course Rossi is not prepared to have any contact with the other party.

Regardless of whether Peake plays the role of a CP3 agent, a genius in an orphanage, or a bodyguard of the Queen.It has nothing to do with Rossi!

"and many more,"

Although Rossi didn't want to cause trouble, the boy opposite didn't think so.

Moving sideways, Pique stood in front of Rossi and assumed an attacking stance.

"Sneaking into the orphanage and approaching Miss Jorah twice, what is your purpose?"

Tsk, if it weren't for the appearance of you CP3s, who would have had nothing to do and go to the orphanage to investigate.

"For what purpose?"

"Humph, you shouldn't be qualified to question me, right?"

Now that the opponent had taken a stance, Rossi, who was not in a good mood at first, naturally stopped talking and just stepped forward and punched the opponent!

After getting enough nutrition, Rossi's body entered a period of rapid development.

You must know that more than 20 years later, Rossi is a "super general" with a height of 4 meters.Even now, judging from his appearance, he is already a boy in his 10s.

call--

The fist made a dull sound of breaking through the air.

Although it was just a simple straight punch, with Rossi's current strength, "killing a cow with one punch" is no longer a boast, but a real daily occurrence.

Bang!

The fist hit the opponent's face firmly, but Rossi was a little surprised.

No, since Peake is an agent of CP3, there is no reason why he can't even dodge such a punch——

As Rossi's fist hit his face, Pique's hands grabbed Rossi's arms at the same time.Then he suddenly spun and stumbled, sending Rossi, who had lost his center of gravity, hard into the concrete railing next to him.

I see,

In his pupils, the obtuse angle of the cement railing quickly enlarged, and Rossi suddenly realized something in his heart.

First let the opponent attack, and then grab the opponent and throw them to the ground or building during the pause.This is the fighting style of a professional wrestler.

Snapped,

Then this fierce move did not hurt Rossi. When he was about to touch the concrete railing, Rossi had already adjusted his posture in mid-air.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the railing, then his fingers began to bend, then his palms touched the cement, and finally his elbow joint began to bend - with layers of buffering, the fierce impact was eliminated.

? !

"It's my turn—"

The arm grabbed by the opponent suddenly expanded, and then contracted in an instant!

The muscles were crawling like snakes, and they suddenly broke free from Pique's grasp. At the same time, the whole person quickly crossed a semicircle, going around from the blind spot of Pique's sight to behind him.

"Take a trick from me,"

He wrapped his arms around Pique's waist, and the muscles in his legs suddenly tightened and exerted force!Rossi directly lifted the opponent off the ground, then threw his head back suddenly.

Back-to-back throw,

It is also the famous 'German style rear axle fall'!

puff,

As the back of the pickup truck's head kissed the ground, a dent was made in the cement floor!

"really···"

The cement floor formed a neat circular 'ring' pit, allowing half of Peake's head to fall into it.

The scene looks a bit like a 'comedy cartoon', but it would be impossible if Rossi didn't know what the other party is capable of.If you immediately withdraw your strength, then this back fall will not hurt the other party, but may injure your own neck bone.

Water fruit, the fruit most suitable for assassination!

In front of this fruit, both the steel fortress and the solid castle are useless.In terms of stealth ability, it is even more perverted than the 'Invisibility Fruit'.

As Pique's entire upper body sank directly into the concrete floor, Rossi had to let go of the opponent and turn over to retreat.

"Devil Fruit Ability?"

Rossi, who knew what he was asking, sneered.

"I thought you were going to play a tough guy showdown with me where you punch me and I kick you."

"···Feel sorry,"

Pique, who was on the rippling concrete floor, turned to face Rossi, with a hint of sadness on his face.

"If possible, I would also like to have a manly fight with you."

"But my identity does not allow me to do this,"

puff,

After saying that, his whole body sank and disappeared into the ground.As the 'ripples' on the cement floor calmed down, Peake completely hid underground.

Rossi was left on alert, not knowing where the opponent would attack!

"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you sneak underground?"

After a few steps, he rushed to the street lamp next to him. He reached out to grab the lamp cover while leaping upward. Rossi turned over lightly and squatted on the top of the street lamp.

Although the Water Fruit allows Pique to 'swim' in all substances, just like a whale cannot flop in a small puddle, it is also impossible for him to activate his abilities in substances that are significantly smaller than himself.

What about people? !

Pico's 'sight', which was swimming in the mud with his Devil Fruit ability, was almost equivalent to that in turbid water. Originally, he could only see an outline, but after a few steps of flying, there was no trace of the opponent's falling.

Did it stop at the top of a building?

puff,

The boy with black curly hair popped his head out from under the concrete floor and looked at Rossi who was squatting on the street lamp speechlessly.

It was his first battle, but he immediately found a way to deal with his abilities.

This is trouble...

"trouble,"

Rossi, who was squatting on the street lamp, frowned in displeasure. If he was eating the 'Thread Fruit', he could just cover the ground with threads and wait for the other party to 'fall into the trap'.

As for the Silence Fruit... it has almost no effect on Pique, who can sneak into the ground and buildings at will.

After a tentative exchange, both sides felt that the other was a difficult guy.

"Again, I have no interest in anything that's going to happen here."

Rossi squatted on the street lamp while thinking about how to deal with the 'water fruit', while impatiently having a 'showdown'.

"I won't delve into the city's problems, and I hope you won't dwell on them."

"...It seems that you really know a lot."

From the hints in Rossi's words, Pique already understood that the other party knew about the 'disaster' that the city was about to encounter.The irony is that this disaster has a share of 'credit' from Pique.

"I understand,"

The whole person emerged from the ground and stood firmly on the concrete floor. Pique, who originally thought that Rosie would be unfavorable to 'Miss Jorah', already understood the other side's position.

That is the passerby who accidentally learned the truth and just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

What's more, now that the arrow is on the line, so what if someone knows the truth?

"As long as you know."

Since the opponent no longer had the desire to continue fighting, Rossi also jumped down from the street lamp.

"Then, goodbye... no, never."

Just when Rossi was about to turn around and leave, there was a sudden 'dong' sound behind him.

?

"I don't know who you are, but I want to ask you a favor."

Rossi turned his head and saw Pique kneeling facing him.

? ?

"Hey, what kind of show is this?"

----

Don Quixote,

"Rosie, what's wrong with you?"

Rossi, who had a stinking face, pushed open the door to the captain's cabin and walked in, causing Dover to raise his head in confusion and ask.

"Don't mention it, I've encountered a lot of troubles——"

From the information gathered at the orphanage, it can be seen that at this point in time, 'Poriziano Giola' is definitely a good person.The reason why she became the noisy, narcissistic, cruel and neurotic aunt she later became was probably because of this disaster.

And Senior Pico is still a member of CP3, but since he will later become a cadre of the Don Quixote family with Jorah, he will probably betray the World Government in the upcoming events...

Perhaps it was precisely because of this 'betrayal' - not betrayal of the CP organization, but betrayal of Jorah's trust.Jean-Paul Piqué subconsciously concealed his true identity from his wife in the future, leading to a series of tragedies.

Just now, faced with the kneeling Pique's request to 'take away' Jorah, Rossi was so cunning that he did not refuse.

"Fufufu, I know what's bothering you."

Putting down the book in his hand, Dover pushed up his sunglasses.

"Rosie, you want to help this city resist pirates, right?"

···

"I said, I said, didn't I?"

Torebol, who was next to him, turned his head in surprise.

"That's a dozen pirate groups, and there are powerful people like 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani! Rosie, are you sure you don't have a fever?"

Faced with Torrebol's extended hand, Rossi rolled his eyes.

"Don't make trouble, I know the other party is very strong..."

If they were just passers-by, maybe Rossi wouldn't be so hesitant, but Jorah and Pique would have become leaders of the Don Quixote family in the 'original' timeline.

After discovering that both of them were rare 'good people', Rossi became even more confused.

To help or not to help, that is the question.

"Dover, what did you say?"

Diamanti, holding the long sword, looked at Dover. As for Vergo and Pika, they were still at the age where 'we will do whatever you say'.

Not everyone is as precocious as Rosie and Dover.

"Fufufu, of course -"

"Stay and see the best pirate in the North Sea!"

???

Amid the surprised expressions of others, Dover crossed his legs, gradually showing his bravery.

"If this city wins, we just sell them a favor and lay the foundation for future shipping transactions; if the pirate coalition wins, we will take advantage of the chaos and loot it first to make up for the loss of our cargo!"

"As for the detailed plan, that is your task, Rossi."

"Dover, you are too accommodating to Rosie..."

Torebol, who didn't want to face the North Sea Legend 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani, subconsciously complained, and Dover just laughed.

"Who makes Rosie my brother? Besides, I don't want to run away in such a disgraceful way - what do you think?"

"I'm in favor of staying,"

The high-pitched Pika was the first to agree;

"I agree too,"

Serious Virgo followed;

"To be honest, I prefer to bully the weak rather than challenge the strong."

Facing the family members present, Diamanti confided her true feelings without a care in the world.But everyone else said this -

"You all say that I am a genius, so let me meet that 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani!!"

No, no, no, no one says you are a genius at all, okay...

"You... what can I say?"

Torebol, who was wearing small sunglasses, rolled his eyes. Since everyone else had decided to have a "collision" with the pirate alliance that was about to attack the city, naturally he could only——

"Okay, let's use those guys as stepping stones for our 'Don Quixote Family' to become famous!!"

The Don Quixote family voted unanimously to stay and witness the future of the city.

And the reason is just for Rossi!

"···Thanks,"

Rossi looked around. In the final analysis, wanting to help the city, or wanting to change the fate of Jorah and Pique, was just his own wishful thinking.

However, whether it was Dover, Pika, Vergo, or even Torebol and Diamanti, they all chose to help him unconditionally.

——Didn’t even ask why!

"Thank you so much, please hurry up and come up with a detailed plan~~"

PS: It’s a bit lame, mainly because of the plot where “the protagonist gives an order and the others rush in”. I really can’t write it...
