Chapter 339: Devil Fruit Ability?!

"Hey, are you sure you saw the 'Demon Girl'?!"

"No, I'm not... not really, but it's very similar and the age is the same, even if it turns out I was wrong, it's still worth it, because it's a chance to get 79 million belli!"

Some people were walking down a dark alley, heading towards where Yeruashi lived.

One of them was very excited.

Another hesitated, "That's certainly good, but as they say, the Demon Girl alone sank six warships, we definitely can't handle it..."

"Stupid!"

The agitated man said disdainfully, "Do you really think an eight year old girl is capable of destroying six warships? I think this child may have some information that matters to the World Government..."

As he said that, he tapped the gun on his belt and smiled, "This time, we'll win the grand prize if she really is the Demon Girl!"

79 million belli!

People who have such a high bounty in the first half of Grand Line are usually evil pirates or leaders of underworld forces.

Even the most well-known pirate hunters act with extreme caution against such individuals.

Definitely not something ordinary bandits like them can deal with.

But Nico Robin, the Demon Girl, is different!

Even if this eleven year old girl has some power, they have weapons!

"Makes sense, let's go find her."

Some people agreed with him and began to wander down the street, opening the doors of the houses one by one.

At that moment, not far from them, on the wall, a human ear turned into petals, disappearing without a trace.

In the kitchen.

Robin, who was carefully chopping vegetables, stopped abruptly.

She turned her head, looking at Yeruashi in the living room with undisguised tension, and continued preparing the food as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, many thoughts went through Robin's mind.

She was already thinking about the best way to escape if her identity was really revealed.

At the same time.

Yeruashi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked towards the kitchen and smiled slightly as he continued to quietly drink his tea.

In about half an hour.

Several bandits looking for Robin had arrived at the house where Yeruashi lived.

Piquet approached the door and knocked loudly.

Yeruashi continued quietly reading the book without even raising his head, but the door latch slid back noiselessly.

Phew!

Piquet knocked again, but this time the door, previously locked from the inside, was pushed open abruptly.

There was no one in the hallway outside the door, only Yeruashi sitting on the sofa in the spacious living room, quietly reading a book.

"I apologize for the trouble."

Piquet immediately noticed that the room was very clean and tidy, and the owner clearly seemed like an out-of-the-ordinary person to him, so he politely addressed Yeruashi, without showing the slightest arrogance and cruelty, "I want to ask you something, have you seen an eleven-year-old girl? She looks like this..."

He pulled out Robin's flyer.

At this moment.

Robin, who was preparing food in the kitchen, abruptly stopped moving and bit her lip.

This day has come again?!!

Once her true identity was revealed, Yeruashi would probably behave like the rest of the people before him, trying to get a bounty on her head, so she should be ready to run so she wouldn't end up in a difficult situation.

She opened the kitchen window using the devil fruit skill and jumped onto the kitchen table, intending to climb through the small window with her skill.

At the same time.

Yeruashi's calm voice echoed in the living room.

"Yes, I recently picked up this girl, did something happen?"

"Picked her up?!"

Piquet and the others were very surprised to hear Yeruashi's words, and some of them couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Boss! This really is the Demon Girl! 79 million belli!!!"

The similarity with the portrait and the age match, moreover, was collected. Now he's more than ninety percent sure that it's Nico Robin, the Demon Girl!

"Shut the fuck up!"

Pique yelled at his subordinate, at the same time drawing his gun, and looked at Yeruashi, "Where is she? talk!"

Robin bit her lip as she heard voices coming from the living room and was about to go out the small window.

But...

At that moment, she heard Yeruashi's voice.

"Why would I have to tell you?"

Yeruashi put the book down on the table, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, as if he hadn't seen the gun in Piquet's hands.

Piquet raised his gun and said, "The World Government is looking for you! Concealment is considered a crime! Your head is worth 79 million belli!"

"Oh, really?"

Yeruashi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "The day I picked up this girl, she became my person, so.... I must reject you."

Piquet chuckled coldly, "Ha, it seems like you want the 79 million just for yourself, but now it's impossible! Hand her over to me, quick!!!"

After saying that, he pointed the gun at Yeruashi.

At the same time, Yeruashi raised his head.

It was the first time he had looked at them since Piquet and his men had entered the house.

Just one look from Yeruashi made a big impact on Piquet and the others.

Looking at those blue pupils like beautiful stars, they felt as if they were looking at a raging, boundless ocean.

Bang!!!

Panicking, Piquet accidentally pulled the trigger with a trembling finger.

The bullet aimed at Yeruashi, but stopped in mid-air half a meter away from him.

He looked at Piquet and the others with indifference, and then waved his hand in their direction, as if brushing away an insignificant dust.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!!!

The bandits were enveloped and lifted into the air by an invisible force, and then began to rapidly compress their bodies into a point, with the sound of exploding tomatoes, until they were all compressed into a small black ball, the diameter of a finger.

Boom!

When Yeruashi lowered his hand, this ball fell with a clatter, shattering the floor.

In the kitchen.

Robin, who was half leaning out the window and observing the situation in the living room with the devil fruit skill, froze in place, stunned.

"Skill... the devil fruit..."

This image clearly showed that Yeruashi definitely had the devil fruit ability, just like her!

Under Robin's surprised gaze, Yeruashi calmly placed the teacup on the table and picked up the book, then said without looking up, "It's no good to stop cooking in the middle, Robin."

"I'm still hungry."
