19 Picking Up A Devil Fruit For Free
On a deserted island.
Zoro, Kuro and Eldoraggo were dueling each other, and they had to use the battle to determine their status on the ship. Only the strong have the right to speak.
Facing Eldoraggo's provocation, neither Zoro nor Kuro refused, because each of them was very confident in their own strength.
"Haha! I will not be merciful. So don't die under my sonic cannon!"
Before the battle, Eldoraggo was full of confidence and extremely arrogant, because he believed that no one except Basire could stop his laser sound waves.
But the result made the swordsman Golass drop his jaw to the ground!
Apart from wounds all over his body, Eldoraggo couldn't win a single fight!
Although the attack power of his sonic cannon is very powerful and has the terrifying destructive power to defeat the enemy in one strike, his agility and reaction speed are too underwhelming.
Facing the speedy Kuro and the genius swordsman Roronoa Zoro, he only managed to fire a single sonic cannon move, and the battle was over without hitting even their shadows.
Eldoraggo was covered in wounds as he sat next to a big tree with a pale face. He continued to look at Zoro and Kuro's extremely fast battle with dull eyes. The afterimages let him know what fighting speed meant.
Being accustomed to the pirate battle mode of bombarding ships whenever they met, he had once thought that his sonic cannon was invincible.
Unexpectedly, today, he lost three times in a single day, which makes him unable to accept this fact.
"It's too slow! Can your charging time be shortened? Maybe you don't need such a thick energy wave. Wouldn't it be faster and more penetrating if it were smaller?"
Basire took a rare opportunity to enlighten this new crew member. He didn't want him to be beaten into depression on the first day.
"I haven't tried it. I just think the bigger the better!"
He said confusedly, because before, when he bombed other people's ships, the bigger his attack was the better the result would be, and the distance between the two ships gave him enough time to accumulate power.
"Practice hard in the future and develop sonic cannons of various sizes and speeds. Also, forget your speed difference, your defense is so poor. You have grown such a tall and rough body in vain!"
Basire looked at the beast-like Eldoraggo, how he was chopped down by Zoro and Kuro in just a few seconds.
Unfortunately, there is no ship's doctor on the ship now, so he can only bandage it casually and rely on himself to heal the rest…
"I will definitely become stronger!"
He gritted his teeth and said, he didn't expect that he was a pirate captain yesterday, and today he can only be the fourth-in-command. He just couldn't accept it.
"Then work hard. Not only can you challenge me every month, I will also check your strength at any time."
"Don't just stand still, otherwise I won't show mercy."
Basire told him calmly, and the duel between Zoro and Kuro finally came to a close.
After a while, Zoro, a pirate hunter with monster-level physical strength, defeated the agile Kuro and established himself as the second-in-command on the ship.
Kuro's face looked a little ugly, while Zoro showed a victorious smile.
Sure enough, apart from Basire, the turtle shell, he is the strongest person!
"Okay, now that this is over, let's have a party!"
Basire ordered, and Jango, Golass, Buchi and Sham immediately started getting busy. These pirates with a little bounty on their heads were only worthy of being minions on this ship.
Basire took out the sea chart and determined their current position.
Yotsuba Island waters, close to Shells Town under the jurisdiction of the 153rd Marine branch...
"There is a trash pirate group wandering nearby. The trash captain of the 153rd Marine branch is a guy I defeated long ago. There is just no excitement in this sea area. When are we going to fight the Krieg pirate group?"
Kuro accepted the fact that he lost to Zoro, and when he saw Basire looking at the map, he began to play his role. Even if he couldn't defeat Zoro, only he could be responsible for the intelligence gathering of the ship.
"That's really no good opponent. I'll go see if there's any meat I can hunt."
Basire put away the sea chart and saw that the Nyaban brothers were grilling fish again. What the hell is this? Moreover, this guy Kuro also likes to eat fish. He is indeed a kitten from the Black Cat Pirates.
He walked towards the forest to see what prey there was to add to the banquet. Zoro had no requirements for food, as long as he had something to drink he was happy…
Seeing Captain Basire go hunting, they also wanted to enjoy the captain's efforts.
"What's the name of the nearby pirate group? How much is the bounty?"
Zoro was happily biting a piece of grilled fish and holding a bottle of wine. As the second most important person on the boat, he was going to enjoy the first grilled fish when Basire left.
"It seems they are called the Alvida Pirates. Their captain is a big fat woman and her bounty is only five million beri, she can't even compare to the Nyaban brothers."
Kuro completely despises this trash pirate group and has no desire to take action. He thinks that if they kill the Krieg pirate group, they can go to the Grand Line immediately.
"Five million is indeed a bit low, but if there was no food in the past, I would still cut them off in exchange for food money!"
Zoro said with emotion, because of him lacking a sense of direction (not that he would ever admit it) he often loses bounty criminals, so he will chase every pirate group he can see and never let go of any opportunity, otherwise he will really starve to death in the middle of the sea.
It was also this madness that allowed him to slowly reach his current fame.
He used to think that wandering alone was cool, but he didn't expect that now after forming a group, he knew what a normal human life was.
"I know, green algae head idiot!"
The corner of Kuro's mouth tilted, revealing a contemptuous smile. Being around in the sea, having no sense of direction is indeed a laughing matter.
"Asshole! Number 3, how do you have the right to laugh at me, I'm the number 2!"
Zoro felt Kuro's smile and immediately cursed. Although he was a fool, he was not that stupid. He could see Kuro's disdainful eyes at a glance.
"..."
Kuro's expression really changed. Damn it, Number 3. Being strong in a one-on-one challenge doesn't mean you are really strong. I have other ways to kill the enemy!
On the other side, Basire, who was wandering around the deserted island looking for prey, seemed to have discovered a great thing!
"Pink Devil Fruit? Slippery fruit?"
Basire immediately ran over and picked up a pink peach looking fruit with a smooth and shiny surface.
"I didn't expect that I could be so lucky? I can actually find a Devil Fruit even when I'm wandering around a deserted island?"
Basire was holding the Devil Fruit, and felt a little hopeful in his heart. Was he about to turn his fortune around?
He thought of what Kuro had just said about the trash pirate group wandering nearby. Could it be that fat lady Alvida?
When this fat woman was punched away by Straw Hat Luffy, did she end up on this deserted island?
Basire was no longer in the mood to continue looking for extra prey. He picked up a Devil Fruit worth hundreds of millions for nothing. What a blessing!
If this Paramecia Slippery Fruit were put up for a large-scale auction, with its exaggerated beauty effect, it would be estimated that it would fetch 1 billion beris from those rich women.
If Celestial Dragons knew about it, they might be able to get 2 billion beri without any problem!
However, if a man eats it, what would happen, would he become several times more beautiful than the pirate Cavendish of the Beautiful Pirates?
