Devil Fruit

1512 of Age Pirates calendar.

West Sea

The town of Alghero is a prosperous medium-sized town, famous for its handicrafts and flowers, with a sizable naval base stationed in the town, a relatively safe environment, and well-known specialties that attract tourists from all over the world.

It was June, and the sun was still hot at 3:00 p.m. Even the stone pavement was baking hot, but the town's most popular bakery, Simon's Cheesecake Circle, was quiet and unusual at the moment.

Passers-by were curious to find several strong men standing in front of the bakery, and they didn't dare to make even the slightest movement even though their faces were red from the sun, just staring at the bakery door.

"Boom!!!"

With a violent sound, a tall figure crashed directly through the bakery door and fell into the street. A few frightened passers-by courageously walked up and found that the man fallen on the ground was the town's notorious hoodlum Cartman.

But this landlord bully's face now no longer sees the usual arrogance. His mouth, nose, and even eyes and ears are oozing blood out, obviously suffered a serious injury. He shivered and shouted toward the door of the bakery, "Victor! Even you can't break the gang's rules! Randomly attacking the gang's brethren is punishable by impalement!!!"

"Da... da... da... da..."

With the sound of unhurried footsteps, a man appeared at the front door of the bakery. Compared to the rogue Cartman's huge body, which was three meters tall, this man was only about one meter eight meters tall. He was dressed in a decent black suit, full of blond hair combed back into the back of the head, his age between teenagers and young people, like a marble sculpture like the knife carved handsome face but his handsome face at the moment look freezing.

"You say I broke the rules of the gang?"

The young man called Victor slowly and methodically rolled up his cuffs while slowly walking towards Cartman, who was slumped in the street, "I don't think so, Mr. Cartman. Because you are no longer a member of the 'Coral'."

The young man walked up to Cartman's body and looked at him from above, with a hint of teasing in his blue eyes, "To be clear, you were removed from the gang by order of the BOSS."

When Cartman heard this, a trace of despair finally appeared on his face. He roared and lunged at Victor, trying to fight for his life, but he only saw a flash before his eyes, and a lightning-fast whip leg struck him hard in the chest.

With a cry of pain and the sound of broken bones, the rogue Cartman flew four or five meters in the air before smashing into a roadside flower bed and rolling to the ground. He barely raised his eyes to look at Victor, who was walking towards him, and opened his mouth to beg for mercy, "Please, please, Victor... spare me..." Before he could finish his sentence, the black leather shoes stepped directly on his head, came in a cold voice, "Three days ago when you molested my sister I already said, you're dead, trash."

Without waiting for Cartman to make another sound to beg for mercy, Victor kicked him directly and crushed his throat. After a long time, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the burly men who had been standing outside the bakery trotted over and bowed slightly in fear to Victor before quickly carrying away Cartman's body, which had gradually stopped convulsing.

Victor noticed a young girl poking her head in the bakery's door, wearing a long Gothic dress. Even inside the house, she was holding a small umbrella, long pink hair combed into a partial ponytail, eyes very round so look a little dumb.

The young woman was followed by a redhead clerk holding a bag of bread. She didn't pay any attention to the damaged door of her bakery, but gazed at Victor's handsome face with a flushed face as if she was an ardent fan who had seen a star.

Victor sighed slightly, took out two 100,000 Bellies, and gently placed them in the clerk's hand, saying gently, "Here's the money to repair the door and flower bed. Go back, Perona." He waved at the pink-haired girl and walked toward the Black Axe bar in the center of town. The pink-haired girl grinned strangely and took the steaming toast from the shop girl. "Hehehe~, Sister Bell, come back to your senses, your mouth is drooling! I'm off. I'll come back to you later to play!" She waved her little hand at the female shopkeeper and quickly chased after Victor.

A middle-aged tourist who witnessed the whole incident curiously asked the passerby beside him, "This young man is good is it, is he a gang member too?" The passerby he questioned gave the tourist a disgusted look. "Uncle, you're new to this town, right? Who doesn't know the name of 'Mr? Victor' on the islands around here?"

The middle-aged tourist was not annoyed, and smilingly asked, "I am indeed from a distant island to visit. Can you tell me about this Victor?" The passerby saw the tourist's attitude was good, also talked, "Mr. Victor does not look old but is a first-class master in the 'Coral' organization. And he looks aloof but very warm-hearted. Many people in town have been in his care. That pink-haired cute girl is Victor's sister Perona, a vivacious little girl. The town folks are very fond of her."

"So that's the case... and who is that strong man he killed?"

"The guy called Cartman, a guy who does evil. I heard he that also seems to be the cadres of the 'Coral' organization, and I know little about the feud between him and Mr. Victor." The passerby shrugged his shoulders, "But Mr. Victor's hands are really powerful, I've never seen him lose, I guess the new naval base colonel is no match for him."

The middle-aged tourist smiled at his words, thanked the passerby, and then strolled in the direction where the Victor siblings had left.

He didn't expect to come to inspect the new precinct in his spare time and come across something so interesting, the fighting skills that teenager used didn't look like something an amateur had practiced blindly, and the whip kick seemed to have a trace of the Rokushiki, so I hope it was just a coincidence... 91 Branch Alghero Town Naval Base's new officer, Colonel Krohn, secretly noted Victor's name.

Victor and Perona walked to the door of the Black Axe bar. He pondered for a moment, turned his head to Perona, and said, "Perona, you go home first."

Perona looked at Victor worriedly. "Brother Victor, is it okay? Or I also stay, my ghost fruit ability has been practiced very skilled!"

Victor rubbed the pink-haired girl's head and showed a smile. "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary commendation ceremony. You go home first, do as I told."

After seeing Perona leave, Victor's eyes turned cold and pushed the door into the bar.

The bar was cold and empty, and he walked straight behind the bar and pushed open the compartment door, and the view opened up. The compartment inside the Black Axe bar was a special room prepared by the 'Coral' organization for the gang cadres, and there was a luxurious round table with an empty top, only a small square box in the middle of the table.

Several people were standing behind the table, all of them were cadres of 'Coral'. Another man was sitting boldly on the sofa behind the table, this man was tall and imposing, with a cigar in his mouth, his short purple hair looked like steel needles, he didn't get up when he saw Victor pushing the door in, and said with an inexplicable smile, "My best man, my dear Victor, you are finally here, what a commotion just now, how is it? How's that for a job that's just as easy for you?"

"You are too much, BOSS. Cartman does not want to hand over the work, I sent him a ride according to the rules."

"That punk dared to embezzle the gang's money, he's so stupid, he's dead! That said, you did a superb job in the Alghero town that battle, all the brothers are convinced. Plus the credit for those two times in Falling Bell Village and Rattling Sound Pier, I as the BOSS agreed to your request." He said. He pushed the box on the table in Victor's direction and squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Open it, it's a sea treasure worth 100 million berries!"

Victor ignored the smiling expressions of the people around him and slowly opened the box. In the box lay a blue cantaloupe, small, its surface covered with jagged stripes.

The surrounding cadres showed ridicule because their boss had told them what this fruit's ability was. Only a very few people can identify the ability in the Devil Fruit based on its appearance, but this fruit is an exception. Because it is recognized as a waste fruit - The Zipper fruit.

6 years ago a navy captain ate this fruit by chance, the result is not only a waste ability without the ability to attack but also became a duck, completely become a laughingstock, not more than a month in the battle with the pirates were killed.

After many years this fruit reappeared on the sea, and for the 'coral' organization BOSS Pippin get. Pippin has already the zoan-type devil fruit, bull fruit buffalo form of ability, so he thinks of this fruit to sell at a good price, but after 3 months, not to mention 100 million berries, even 30 million berries are no one willing to buy, after many inquiries only to learn that because of the Navy captain's deeds are too famous, but everyone all knows the gods know the specific appearance of this fruit, and how they were willing to spend 100 million berries to buy back a useless Garbage fruit. Pippin had no choice but to put the fruit in his vault and gradually forget about it.

Back to Victor. Victor joined the 'Coral' with his sister Perona two years ago, and by his unmatched skills he has completed many difficult tasks, the most amazing one is a month ago he was alone in the town of Kasturi and beat another major gang in the West Sea 'Suleiman family The six cadres of 'Suleiman family' instantly lost nearly 80% of their top fighting force, and had no choice but to make concessions to 'Coral', making 'Coral' to gain huge benefits.

According to the rules of the gang, Victor's credit even if it was replaced by Bailey, would be as great as 100 million, but Victor, who had always been indifferent to the reward of credit, made a request this time-he wanted to get a devil fruit.

The BOSS Pippin was already very wary of Victor, for fear that he would seize the throne and how willing to let Victor get the devil fruit to make its strength increased. When Pippin was in a dilemma, one of his men reminded him, "Boss, don't you still have useless devil fruit in your hand? It's a good idea to give it to Victor, not only to shut him up, but also to make him less powerful!"

Pippin was delighted to hear this, and it makes sense! Even if Victor knows the ability of this fruit, he proposes to get the devil's fruit as a reward, so he gave him the Zipper fruit as a reward is also reasonable. So he immediately held an award ceremony to formally reward Victor at the Black Axe Bar. To prevent Victor from being discontented with the ability of the Zipper fruit, Pippin made two preparations, on the one hand, he brought together several other cadres in the gang to press the battle he also gave Victor an extra gift - let Victor get rid of the rogue Cartman himself.

This guy, Cartman, has been embezzling the gang's property, and he has already had the idea of getting rid of him, just before Cartman also molested Perona, and Victor probably wanted to finish him himself.

Victor is the most powerful of his men, it is necessary to appease them. In the secret compartment of the Black Axe bar, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Victor did not hesitate to pick up the fruit bite down. As expected, the taste of devil fruit is as disgusting as the legend, but his face did not have a single fluctuation.

Because... everything is going according to his plan! He laid out a plan for two years. One goal in the hands of this devil fruit.

Zipper fruit, a special fruit rarer than the Logia Devil fruit!
