*****

Suzuki opened his mouth and spat out a large iron box, and put the body of the Zoan-type Porcupine Fruit user into it.

Then he swallowed the iron box without changing his expression, and ate himself again.

The same closed-style coercion, the same half-hour wait.

Inside the Munch-Munch Fruit's inner space, the Porcupine Fruit was reborn on a certain fruit in the space.

"One..."

Suzuki looked deeply at the Devil Fruit. His purpose this time was to hunt down Devil Fruit users and seize Devil Fruits.

Even if it was just a preliminary plan for the main body, at least dozens of Devil Fruits were needed to carry it out.

Now that he had effortlessly obtained the first one, Suzuki couldn't help but feel a little joy for this unexpected harvest.

However, there were too few Devil Fruit users in the East Blue. It was difficult to find Devil Fruits that no one had eaten in the vast sea, so Suzuki planned to go to the Grand Line to hunt down Devil Fruit users.

Now, the era of the great pirates had just begun, and it had even become more intense after a year of precipitation. Many pirates who had eaten Devil Fruits had been fighting in the four seas, and now they were all full of enthusiasm and yearning for the Grand Line.

So...

"It's the harvest season~"

Suzuki sighed, while carefully storing the Porcupine Fruit in an iron ball.

Thinking that these seedlings might be heading to the first half of Paradise in a steady stream, he didn't waste any time and immediately left this different space.

After coming to the outside world, Suzuki ignored the dead pirates and just casually picked up the golden cannon.

He had already been offered a bounty by the Navy. Although he could still go to collect the bounty through the Transformation Jutsu, this small amount of money was not worth a special trip for him.

Soon, Suzuki returned to his small boat. With a sound of air hitting the water, the silver-white metal boat sailed quickly like an arrow off the string again...

...

Grand Line, Reverse Mountain.

When Suzuki traveled from the Grand Line to the West Blue before, he took the channel of Mary Geoise. Later, when he went from the Grand Line to Loguetown, he directly crossed the Calm Belt.

Therefore, this was his first time here.

Normally, the water flow on the mountain flows down, forming streams or waterfalls.

However, at this moment, the sea water in front of him was like a miracle. It all flowed from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain!

This endless, retrograde water flow even violently impacted the rocks on both sides of the waterway, causing water splashes and a rushing sound, like a warrior fighting against the sky, venting his blood.

Looking at the magnificent scenery of Reverse Mountain, even Suzuki, who had been to Sky Island, couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

The wonders of nature are truly beyond words.

Suzuki slowed down and carefully adjusted the direction of the boat, slowly heading towards this incredible mountain.

The moment he entered the retrograde waterway, the silver-white metal boat Suzuki was riding in was driven by the strong water flow and sailed quickly towards the top of the mountain.

After a while, Suzuki reached the top of the mountain.

There are five waterways at the top of the mountain. The water flow of the four waterways flows to the top of the mountain. These four waterways connect the four different sea areas of the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue. The last one flows down into the Grand Line.

Suzuki slightly adjusted the direction of the boat and slid down towards the waterway of the Grand Line.

Soon, he passed through Reverse Mountain and came to Twin Capes.

At this time, Suzuki heard the cry of a whale. He turned his head and saw the giant whale Laboon calling out in a low voice.

Crocus, whom he had met on Sky Island, was examining its body carefully on the shore.

A smile appeared on Suzuki's face. He didn't say hello directly, so as not to disturb the careful treatment of the Pirate King's doctor.

He put away the boat, stepped directly on the water, and then walked towards Crocus.

After approaching, he waited politely for a while. Seeing that Crocus had finished the examination, he smiled and greeted him:

"Dr. Crocus, we meet again!"

Hearing someone greeting him, Crocus immediately turned his head. When he saw Suzuki, a joyful smile appeared on his face:

"Hahahaha, I thought it was someone, it turned out to be you, boy!"

"Long time no see, Suzuki!"

Crocus walked over with a smile and patted Suzuki on the shoulder.

After coaxing the whale Laboon away, Crocus said with a sigh:

"When Roger died, you went to Loguetown, right?"

"Shanks and Buggy also seemed to have gone to the scene. I saw it on the Den Den Mushi."

"It's also good to have a group of acquaintances to send off."

Suzuki smiled, and then said gently:

"It should be."

"Speaking of Shanks and Buggy, when I left, I left with Shanks. There was also a swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk."

"After Shanks learned swordsmanship with me in the East Blue for a while, he said he was going to find his companions, and then he left. As for Buggy, Buggy and Shanks separated in Loguetown. He should be looking for treasure in the East Blue now."

Crocus sat down on the ground casually and said with a big laugh:

"Really, those two treasures are separated, hahahaha~"

"But it's normal, after all, they've all grown up."

Speaking, Crocus looked at Suzuki with some amazement:

"Suzuki, you don't know how surprised I was when I saw your bounty order. Tsk, more than 80 million!"

Suzuki smiled modestly and sat down as well:

"It's okay, by the way, what's wrong with that whale?"

"You mean Laboon? Sigh~"

Hearing Suzuki ask about this, Crocus's face showed some sadness, and he slowly told the story of the whale Laboon and the Rumbar Pirates...

"Since then, Laboon has been waiting for his former companions to return, and even wanted to use his head to smash the Red Line to find them. Alas~ I have also been treating Laboon's injuries. It has been more than 20 years in a flash."

Suzuki nodded while listening.

After listening, Suzuki smiled gently and told Brook's whereabouts:

"You said Brook, I should know where he is."

"He was trapped in the Devil's Florian Triangle Area. Because he ate the Revive-Revive Fruit, he is now a living skeleton."

Hearing the news of Brook, Crocus immediately showed a surprised expression. You must know that when he boarded the Roger Pirates' ship, one of his main purposes was to help Laboon find the members of the Rumbar Pirates.

I thought that after so many years, the members of the Rumbar Pirates were all dead. I didn't expect that there were still members alive. Crocus seemed to be relieved and looked at Suzuki gratefully:

"Suzuki, you really helped me a lot this time! Laboon has been waiting for them for so long, and now he has finally waited~"

Suzuki waved his hand slightly, indicating that there is no need to be polite.

After all, Crocus also gave an assist at the beginning, allowing him to successfully learn conquerer's haki, and Suzuki had never forgotten this.

He had known about Brook's affairs, and even took the initiative to say hello to Crocus this time, and deliberately asked about the whale Laboon, in order to convey the news to Crocus. It was just a small favor.

Afterwards, the two continued to chat for a while. Suzuki was about to leave. He stood up and said goodbye to Crocus:

"Dr. Crocus, I have something to do, so I'll go first. I'll come to see you again when I have a chance."

Crocus also stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and said with a big laugh:

"Hahahaha, okay, thank you for this time. I'll go find Rayleigh later and bring Mr. Brook back from the Florian Triangle."

"Okay, I wish you all the best."

Suzuki smiled gently and left a blessing. He waved to Crocus, then left Twin Capes and embarked on a journey to harvest capable people.
