The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"What a tragic battlefield, these traces -"

A few hours later, a naval fleet quickly approached Odense.A few kilometers away, the Commodore of the Beihai branch standing on the deck saw the dock that was almost in ruins. He was horrified and angry.

"It's Balfu Tani, we're late."

The colonel from the branch next to him took over the topic, and it was unclear whether he was regretful or thankful in his tone.

Encountering that white dragon at sea would be an unmitigated disaster for most pirates and navies.

As long as the opponent flies into the sky and breathes out, the battleship will immediately turn into a lump of ice. ——In this era, there are not many "air defense" means, and we can only rely on expert sniping.

"It seems that Akanlia's side has suffered a tragic victory."

As the warship continued to approach, the Commodore discovered that the people cleaning the battlefield were obviously civilians from Odense, and there were also a large number of pirate-like people tied up in a corner of the dock.

Originally, it seemed to the brigadier general that even if they arrived immediately, they would probably face a city that had been reduced to ruins and massacred, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"Have you ever heard of any strong men in Acanlia?"

"No,"

The colonel next to him shook his head and then added.

"It could be internal strife among the pirates, or it could be that they met a strong man passing by..."

"Sign up and prepare to dock."

"Let's see what's going on."

----

at this time,

Located behind the city of Odense, in a castle on the hillside.

"I'm very sorry. Since the king moved his office to the Lord's Mansion in the city 200 years ago, this place has been used as a military camp. The environment is simple, so please bear with me, heroes..."

A city official apologized to the 'teenagers' lying on the couch.

It is different from what most people think: a castle with exquisite murals, luxurious decorations, where princesses and princes love each other; the real castle is thick and thick, with narrow windows that make the interior dim, cold and damp, and completely devoid of any comfort.

After all, the original function of the castle was to serve as a military building to defend against foreign enemies!

"It doesn't matter, go and do your own thing."

Rossi waved his hand and at the same time picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.

If the environment was to be said to be bad, could it be as bad as the bilge of the ship where he and Dover lived?

For Rossi, Dover, Pica, Torepol, and Diamanti, who were all bandaged and eating and drinking, the environment here was already very good.

Although natural lighting is not available and a lot of windmills and generators have been destroyed, as the city's 'savior', Rossi and others must not be treated badly.

The hall is illuminated like daylight by the numerous candles on the surrounding walls, and a dazzling array of food is available for consumption.

Everyone's wounds were cleaned with the 'Water of Life', and were bandaged and sutured by Dover's thread power. They all munched to regain their strength.

"I said, I said,"

Even now, Torebol still looks unbelievable.

"Rosie, did you really defeat the 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani?"

That was the captain of the White Dragon Pirates, a legendary figure in the North Sea.Although Rossi's strength is good, compared with the Beihai Overlord...

"how is this possible?"

Rosie, who was covered in bandages, rolled his eyes. Don't look at the fact that he had defeated Balfu Tani alone and saved the entire city and was called a hero.

In fact, he was already seriously injured all over his body, but the other party's neck was only broken.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of people here. The most I can do is hold that woman back and make her retreat."

"And this is not just my strength: the fruit of Jorah's art, the fruit of inspiration from the poet deputy mayor, and the newly realized domineering power of knowledge and knowledge, I can defeat the opponent a few times in a short period of time."

"...That's pretty awesome,"

Diamanti sincerely lamented that he was the least injured here.

Although he was punched into the captain's room by 'Bald' Alok, he actually just passed out, which made Diamanti, who had always been quite arrogant, look sad.

His companions were all fighting hard, but he just lay down when the battle started... Even if no one blamed him, he still couldn't pass the test in his heart.

"Shouldn't it be a good thing for family members to become stronger?"

Dover pushed up his sunglasses and hooked his fingers, and a sausage on the table in front of everyone automatically flew to him.

"After seeing the first pirate group in the North Sea, I realized the gap between us and the strong ones."

"Catch up with each other, surpass each other, this is what we have to do next!"

This is true. Only after a person has a clear goal will he have the motivation to pursue it.

"Speaking of which,"

Rosie put down her knife and fork, picked up the beer and took a sip!

"I found that the Silence Fruit is still very useful when developed."

That is auxiliary training!

An important part of the practice of seeing and hearing color domineering is to abandon 'distractions' and concentrate.

To completely immerse the mind is a very metaphysical thing.

Generally, masters need a lot of time to polish their knowledge and skills.Or in a life-or-death situation or when your companions are in danger, your highly concentrated mind will automatically turn on.

"But my Silence Fruit can block 'distracting thoughts',"

"Although the effect on you will be reduced to a certain extent, it is still very helpful for practicing the domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color."

In martial arts novels, it would be a matter of one second to "fall into trance".

? !

"That's great, hey hey hey~~"

Torebol was overjoyed. As Pika and Vergo began to grow, he, the eldest person in the grade, was about to be at the bottom of the family in terms of strength.

Although he was laughing and joking on his face, he was actually just as anxious in his heart.

If you master the 'Seeing and Hearing Haki', wouldn't your strength be greatly improved instantly?

Especially the huge weakness of his fruit ability, which is afraid of fire, can be compensated to a certain extent. ——As long as you cut off the slime before the opponent tries to set fire, you won't be embarrassed by being killed instantly with a lighter.

"Let me remind you first that cultivation may not be smooth sailing."

Even Rossi himself realized the domineering power of seeing and hearing color only when he combined the fruit's abilities at the critical moment of life and death.

If others don't work hard on their own, it would be unrealistic to expect that once Rossi's fruit power is activated, everyone will see it instantly.

But when it comes to hard work, Dover is definitely not lacking. There is no need to worry about the taciturn Pica and the serious Vergo. All that is left is:

"Hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes?"

"I am a genius. I will be the first to learn how to be domineering and sexy when I see it!"

Facing the angry tall and thin duo, Rossi nodded.

"Okay, I trust you."

"You should look at us and say this, right?"

"Hey, don't turn your face away——"

It's not that Rossi deliberately provoked the two of them, but because the "Don Quixote Family" started from a too low level. They used to have no famous teachers and no resources.

After taking down the Jeddi family and starting to grow, everyone's strength was strangely inversely proportional to their age. If Torrebol and Diamanti didn't work hard, it's hard to say that their strength would still be at the bottom.

"Speak of dominance, Rosie."

The food in front of him was cut into several pieces out of thin air. Dover, who was exercising his fruit ability even while eating, looked at the brother next to him.

"Virgo seems to have awakened his 'Armed Haki'."

???

"Isn't it?!"

Armed color domineering is not based on the innate knowledge color, nor is it the overlord color that feeds on blood, but is the power generated by the combination of physical body and will.

Although Vergo will definitely master the armed color in the future, wearing "black and hard" will beat Smoker all over the ground.But Vergo is only 11 years old now. Isn’t it too scary to master the armed color Haki?

"No, I don't have it."

While several people were eating and discussing, Vergo came out with his arms wrapped in two big lumps, followed by Jorah in a dress.

Virgo's injury was the most severe, so treatment would take the longest.

Fortunately, Jorah's 'Art Fruit' can impart material properties and turn ordinary medical alcohol into 'water of life' with magical healing powers. Otherwise, Vergo, whose arm skin was burnt to a crisp, would have to have his arm amputated.

"If it hadn't been for the first mate's advice, maybe I would have simply thought that I was dizzy..."

Vergo recalled the previous scene,

"Rather than being armed and domineering, it's more like a 'miracle' achieved through perseverance."

Using 'perseverance' to resist damage, shouldn't it be a standard feature of the protagonist group?

In fact, this is already a sign of the awakening of armed Haki.

After listening to Vergo's story, Rossi guessed that he might have unconsciously burst into a brief armed look:

Many pirates, navy, and even ordinary people may suddenly burst out with strength far beyond their normal state under extreme circumstances, or withstand huge damage.

This should be the bud of 'Armed Haki', then——

"Virgo, remember the feeling at that time. If you can maintain that state, then your strength will truly soar instantly!"

This is armed and domineering. It is equivalent to covering the whole body with a layer of invisible steel armor. Needless to say, it improves the strength.

Moreover, it can also damage the natural element, and the ability to withstand all kinds of strange Devil Fruits is the ticket to a new world!

"Um,"

Vergo nodded and sat down. He was about to reach out for the food, but was stopped by Jorah behind him.

"Although your arm is saved, it's best not to move it."

The noble lady Jorah skillfully cut the bread, then put it to Vergo's mouth with a fork, which made the tough boy who could not move even under the flames was slightly stunned.

"···Thanks,"

"I should be the one to say thank you,"

"Without you, I and this city would be in doom."

After feeding Vergo and eating bread, the mature lady Jorah bowed seriously to Rosie and others.

"thank you very much!"

Why are you being so serious?

"Fufufu, there's no need to verbally thank you,"

"As for the reward for this battle, or the preferential treatment for future trade, please ask the queen to help us settle the matter."

What is a woman to Dover now?It will only affect the speed of his fruit development!

"no problem,"

After agreeing immediately, a trace of hesitation flashed across Jorah's face.

"However, this city has just suffered huge damage. The cost of reconstruction, compensation for casualties, and the compensation of other businessmen will add up to an astronomical figure. So..."

? !

"Hey, hey, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Torebol stood up angrily and asked, but Diamanti had already grabbed the Western sword next to him, and his wary eyes quickly wandered around.It seems as if the plot of "falling a cup as a trump card and jumping out of three cups with swords and axes" will be staged in the next second.

"Wait, please don't get me wrong."

Facing the Don Quixote family who were facing a formidable enemy, Jorah waved his hands in panic.

"It's not that I want to renege on the debt, but the city can no longer afford sufficient remuneration, so——"

"Please let me join the Don Quixote family and pay off my debts through work."
