How about you join Marine?

The crowded crowd pushed each other and retreated to both sides of the main road under marine's instructions. 

An old woman with a cane and a vegetable basket in her hand was unfortunately unable to move as quickly and was knocked to the ground.

But the people standing in front of her continued retreating back and they were about to trample on the old woman.

"Stop it! Don't hurt anyone!"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Gion cried out in shock.

The execution has not even begun yet and people have already started to have causality, isn't this a slap in the face of Marine?

As she said that, she was about to rush over there, but just as she was about to perform "shave", she stopped suddenly.

In front of the old woman, a figure stood there, like a large rock, and the retreating crowd was like a rushing river that hit the large stone lying in its course but couldn't shake it even a little bit, so they had to divert in front of the stone.

Thankfully the old woman was not harmed under the protection of that guy. 

Afterwards the man knelt down and helped the old woman up. He helped her pick up the fallen vegetables and handed the vegetable basket to the old woman.

After thanking him from the heart, the old lady gave the man a small cloth bag before leaving.

"Not bad, you have a sense of justice. Do you want to join Marine, I think you have some strength!"

Gion came over and patted the man on the shoulder appreciatively.

The man turned his head, and Gion's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yo, you're still a handsome guy!"

"How about it, want to join Marine? I'll be your referral. "

"Me? Are you sure?"

Will pointed to himself, his face full of disbelief.

What happened to marine these days, is Marine so open?

I am a big pirate offering a reward of one billion Baileys, and the other party actually invites me to be a Marine?

And the one inviting him, the woman Marine standing in front of him is none other than the future Admiral candidate, Momousagi Gion no less. 

But it's no wonder that Gion didn't recognize Will for a while. After all, the photo on the reward order is his appearance in Impel down.

Messy long hair, unkempt beard.

Except for the seventy to sixty percent similarity in the face and eyes, he looks like a completely different person as compared to the photo on his reward order. 

But after today, his bounty should be updated too. 

"That's right, Marine needs a righteous person like you!"

She admired Will's performance just now.

"Huh?"

As if noticing something, Gion was surprised again, and looked at Will curiously.

"Are you a swordsman too?"

She pointed to Enma and Ame no Hakibiri hanging on Will's waist.

There was a curious gleam of light in her eyes. These two knives gave her a very unusual feeling, at least, they were undoubtedly famous knives!

"Double-knife style?"

Gion probed curiously. 

"Hehe, I just barely know how to use swords, it's not that great!"

Will pinched his nose in embarrassment and answered humbly. 

"What are you carrying? Luggage?"

Gion noticed the two packages on Will's back again, which gave her a strange feeling.

Will: "..."

"It's a gift!"

Will answered after a momentary pause, maintaining his innocent smile. But he was crazily complaining in his heart,

'What happened to this Gion? Why are you talking about these things with him, a celebrity pirate no less? Don't you have to maintain order? "

"Gift?"

Gion felt a little strange, but didn't say anything, and then turned her attention to the small cloth bag in Will's hand.

"Crack!"

She patted Will on the shoulder, sighing.

"This is a thank you gift from that grandma. If it weren't for your timely help just now, she might..."

She didn't continue talking, and changed the subject with a smile, "Open it and have a look!"

"The sense of accomplishment after saving someone, the feeling gratitude and opening gifts from others, they all add up to triple happiness!"

Will shook his head helplessly but still followed Gion's words, and opened the small cloth bag.

Gion: "..."

Will: "..."

Gion's eyelids twitched wildly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her smile stiffened.

"Haha, this, is really a big surprise! Ha ha...! "

Gion said with a forced smile but in her heart, she was crazily complaining while cursing her luck. 

"f**k, I have done countless good deeds by being a good person, why didn't I encounter such a good thing?"

Will was also speechless while looking at the contents of the bag and couldn't help but murmur. 

"So, Bullet, what exactly are you doing at Wano country?"

Wrapped in the small cloth bag, is a fruit! But it is not an ordinary fruit!

It is the secret treasure of the sea, the Devil Fruit that countless people are crazy about!

And the one in his hand, Will still has an impression. It was the barrier fruit that brought him a little trouble not long ago!

"So, that grandma just now must be the one that Bartolomeo mentioned in the anime more than once?"

"More importantly, why is the barrier fruit reborn here, so far away from Wano country? And why did she pick up the barrier fruit?"

"Forget it, let's take it as a surprise."

Before Will travelled over to the world of one piece, Devil Fruit's rebirth theory among the anime fans was that they tends to be reborn nearby.

That is, the devil fruit will randomly respawn in the fruit that is close to the place of death of the last host.

But this statement is actually not very tenable.

In the original plot, after many capable users died, their fruits did not reappear nearby, such as barrier fruits and simulated fruits.

One appeared in East Blue, and one appeared in the first half of the Grand Line.

If you have to say.

The two Devil Fruits crossed the ocean and appeared in front of Bartolomeo and MR·2, so Will had nothing to say.

Moreover if after the death of the ability user, the Devil Fruit is supposed to be reborn nearby, then there would have been a frenzy of hunting and killing the ability user in the sea and people just have to scour the nearby area to get their hands on the devil fruit. 

He couldn't believe that no one had discovered this characteristic even after hundreds of years.

But nothing like this happened in the sea.

Therefore, Will is more inclined to believe that after the death of the ability user, the Devil Fruit will respawn randomly. Some people are just lucky and encounter a situation where the respawn is nearby.

Clearing these thoughts from his mind, Will rewrapped the barrier fruit as Gion watched eagerly.

"Well, you're going to join the Marine, right?"

She grabbed Will's sleeve coquettishly. A swordsman with two famous knives should be quite strong, and now he got another Devil Fruit.

If the other party is allowed to leave, it will be a big loss for Marine!

But hearing her words made Will speechless, girl, you really need to update your general knowledge. 

"Your colleague is looking for you. I have something else to do. Let's go first!"

After speaking, regardless of Gion's persuasion, he turned around and mixed in the crowd.

"Gion, who are you talking to?"

With a wary look, Tokikake stared at Will's back as he disappeared into the crowd.

"Go, go, you are everywhere!"

Gion said impatiently. 

She was already annoyed by the relentless pursuit of Tokikake but now that a good seed has slipped away from her hands because of his interruption, she feels even more upset with him. 

"Do not bother me!"

Seeing that Tokikake was about to say something, Gion glared at him, turned and left.

Tokikake opened his mouth to say something but finally closed his mouth back in defeat, muttering something under his breath. 

"What did I do now?"

Near noon, several black spots appeared on the shore of Logue town.

After Marine raised the flag, the people in the town looked over there, and their spirits lifted immediately.

"Marine is coming!"
