( Achilles' Pov )

" You think it will be disrespectful for us to take the gold from his dead body?" I asked Bullet while we were standing over Eldoraggo's dead body. The man had gold all over his body and it didn't feel right just leaving them there to rot on a corpse. But at the same time, I also don't want to take things from a dead man as well.

I was also hoping that his devil fruit would reincarnate somewhere on this island but, I guess that was hoping for too much. The chance of the same exact fruit type being on this island was minuscule, and I wasn't going to bet on non-favorable odds.

But on the map, there was a green marking on Eldoraggo's ship showing there was a devil fruit on it. The marking was there since the ship docked on the island.

This means it's not Eldoraggo's fruit, but another random one. Just knowing there's a devil fruit on the ship makes me quite happy as this will be the first time for me to see a devil fruit.

" From what I heard about this bastard, he was no worse than pirates. It's just he had some connections within the marines so his crimes never got reported." Bullet answered me by taking the golden armor off Eldoraggo's body.

" Ah, in this case, might as well just take everything," I said with Bullet smirking, knowing we were both about to become rich. And I didn't feel bad for doing it either since a person like him doesn't deserve anything.

" Oh right, leave a marking of our Jolly Roger, I don't want a constant stream of bounty hunters chasing our ass," I asked Bullet since his fruit was perfect for things like this. I knew setting an example like this would show the other bounty hunters us two aren't that easy to mess with.

Bullet merged some of the trees into our Jolly Roger in less than a minute as the design was rather simple.

The Jolly Roger has a large circle within it was two smaller stars one was colored white whilst the other was golden and in the middle was a smaller golden star to bring it all together.

[ Jolly Roger's Image ]

[ A/N: I forgot to write the Jolly Roger like an idiot so I just wrote it here in this chapter. In case anyone is wondering, jolly rogers without skulls in one piece are very very rare but they do exist.]

My mom and dad helped me design the Jolly Roger so it looks a lot nobler than you would imagine when you hear the word pirates. To mom, skulls in jolly rogers represent your average run of the mile raping, pillaging, and murdering pirates; mom didn't want that with me.

So that's why my Jolly Roger doesn't have a skull in it. And dad came up with the color scheme. Gold and white represent my two heritage. One rules the world whilst the other was white-outed from history. It was a pretty cool colour scheme now that I think about it

[ 5 Minutes Later ]

" Hahaha, we are about to become rich," I said to Bullet laughing with joy as we reached inside the ship's vault which was located right next to Eldoraggo's room.

Gold bars, coins, money, rare luxury items, and diamonds were all inside the vault. Anything you can imagine was probably inside it.

" Combine all the gold bars into one along with all the diamonds. As for the rest, we'll just take them as they are." I said to Bullet before going to Eldoraggo's room which is where the devil fruit marking is.

' Huh, his room is cleaner than I thought it would.' I thought to myself looking around the room. Before noticing a devil fruit sitting on a desk. Next to it was a book titled Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

' Looks like I hit the jackpot.' This way I wouldn't have to explain how I know devil fruit names and how they look to anyone in the future.

When I grabbed the devil fruit, all the information about it appeared in my head.

[ Zoan- Ancient Model: Spinosaurus ]

" Wow, okay, I wasn't expecting this, an ancient zoan and a good one at that." Looking at the devil fruit, I was surprised at how light it was. I thought it would be a lot heavier. Before I headed out, I grabbed the book. As I did, a letter fell out.

Normally I wouldn't care but this letter was an invitation to an auction that will be debuting a brand special slave.

' So that's why that bastard didn't let anyone eat this fruit. He wanted to trade this for the slave.'

As I continued reading, I knew exactly who it was just based on the ability the slave had that was written on the letter.

[ The auction will start 3-20 at 8:00 PM at Spider-Island in the port town of Spider Miles. Please arrive on time. ]

[ No weapons will be allowed ]

" Achilles, I'm done. I got everything." I heard Bullet shout out from the vault ruining my thoughts.

" I'm coming. Give me a minute." I answered back making sure I didn't miss anything else and left with the invitation letter in my pocket, that devil fruit, and the book in both of my hands.
