Chapter 136: Three Devil Fruits!

{T/N: Listen!

Guys, i know you all are very knowledgeable people. The story below will have slight changes from the canon in naming, or maybe it is called like that in Chinese edition. IDK. I have provided the text from which it was translated from.}

Sengoku's Den Den Mushi was abruptly disconnected. When it rang again, the face that reappeared on the Den Den Mushi was that of a middle-aged man with a high, white mustache that curled upwards. His forehead bore dark marks resembling tattoos, exuding an imposing and dignified air.

Adrian slightly squinted his eyes.

The Five Elders!

It was Mikhail, who was in charge of politics and diplomacy.

而且是专门负责政治与外交的米哈伊尔!

{I thought it was Topman Warcury based on description}

The five leaders who hold the highest power in the World Government are collectively known as the Five Elders. They are the pillars of the World Government, with a status far higher than the World Government's Commander-in-Chief !

Military, intelligence, politics, history, law - each of the Five Elders has their own dedicated area of responsibility.

　　军事,谍报,政治,历史,法律,每一位五老星都有自己专门负责的事务方向.

As for why no one is in charge of handling the economy...

Who in their right mind would care about the economic development of the pirate world? {I know that the bald head is in charge of economics on the wiki, but this is what was written in the novel.}

Anyway, back to the topic.

The one who called at this time was one of the Five Elders in charge of political affairs!

The man with a distinctive mustache resembling Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev!

Upon connecting with the Den Den Mushi of the Five Elders, his voice carried a clear sense of displeasure.

"Sengoku, I didn't expect that even you couldn't handle that low-level pirate! After this matter is resolved, you should take some time to reflect at the Marine headquarters!"

Sengoku frowned, walked silently towards Adrian, and positioned the Den Den Mushi parallel to Adrian's line of sight.

The Five Elders took the initiative to speak: "White Ghost, your demands are too much!"

Adrian feigned innocence: "Respected Five Elders, don't you think it's a profitable deal to exchange a few items for a noble Celestial Dragon?"

"You have no idea how precious the items you want are! Natural-type Devil Fruits are already extremely rare, and Mythical Zoan types are even rarer than Natural-types, let alone Fish-Fish Fruits… Heh, you're really bold!"

Adrian slowly said: "Anyway, these are the things I need."

Reiterating his conditions, he said: "If you still care about the life of Saint Rosward, then be straightforward!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, followed by a cold voice: "Even the World Government doesn't possess the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords. We can exchange them for the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords. The other Devil Fruits are acceptable. Don't play any tricks, White Ghost."

Adrian responded: "Shouldn't I be the one to clarify this? At least compared to the World Government, I believe my personal reputation is much better."

Click!

The Den Den Mushi was abruptly hung up.

...

The weather was sunny and beautiful when I landed on Sabaody Archipelago, but now the sky has become overcast, with a sense of impending rain.

On the rolling sea, a warship was cutting through the waves.

Under the watchful gaze of Mini Ghost: Starry Cruise, the warship slowly docked at the coast of Sabaody Archipelago's 13th Island. One by one, World Government agents dressed in black suits disembarked from the ship.

At the forefront were three CP0 members dressed in white robes and wearing masks. They held three wooden boxes and a snow-white long sword in their hands as they walked towards the interior of the island.

After a while, the three of them arrived in front of Adrian.

The leader immediately asked, "White Ghost, where is Saint Rosward?"

Adrian sneered, "Sorry, this isn't a mafia deal. Paying with one hand and delivering with the other?"

"How can we trust you then?" another questioned.

Adrian replied, "As long as you don't want the Celestial Dragons dead, you have no choice but to trust me."

During this conversation, two other CP0 members activated their Observation Haki to its fullest, continuously scanning the area around Sabaody Archipelago, attempting to locate the true identity of the White Ghost.

Unfortunately, even something Admiral Sengoku couldn't achieve, these CP0 members were utterly powerless to do.

"Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know about the current condition of Saint Rosward's body," Adrian said. "I suggest you ask Vice Admiral Borsalino over there, who just got stabbed in the back by your black knife of justics. He's quite knowledgeable."

The three CP0 members immediately turned their attention to the severely injured Admiral Yellow Ape.

Backstabbing?

Nonsense!

That's called offering the heart for the greatness of the Celestial Dragons!

Under the cold gaze of the CP0 members, Borsalino remained silent for a moment, then said in a slick manner:

"The speed of my fruit is really too fast. I didn't see Saint Rosward clearly."

"Borsalino, Vice Admiral! Watch your words!"

"Oh… So what?"

Adrian suddenly interrupted and scolded Borsalino: "Big Yellow, don't be sarcastic because people are throwing stones at you. It's not good!"

"White Ghost, I swear!!"

Borsalino tried to kill Adrian with his eyes.

After a silent struggle, the CP0 members were also afraid to continue delaying. Their main task was to save Saint Rosward.

"This is one of the twenty-one great swords, [Shuxue]!"

{I am going with this one, Shuxue (袖雪), (snow on sleeves)

{from Loguetown was (雪走, Yubashiri, Snow Chaser)}

A wisp of blue energy emanated from the disguised ghost's hands, holding up three wooden boxes and a long sword. He brought them in front of him and examined them one by one.

'Shuxue', the blade, guard, and handle were all pure white. The blade was straight, and the oval-shaped hilt was evenly distributed with six hollows. The front of the handle was adorned with a hook-shaped pattern, and the end was connected to a silk-like white ribbon.

This great sword did not look like a killing weapon at all, but rather was beautiful like a work of art.

As for the three Devil Fruits.

Adrian, referring to the [Devil Fruit Encyclopedia] he had once read in Ohara, found out their real names one by one.

Logia: Numa Numa no Mi {Wiki says Swamp Fruit!}

　　自然系·沼泽果实!

Zoan: Fish-Fish Swordfish Form!

　　动物系·鱼鱼果实·旗鱼形态!

Special Paramecia Type: Toro Toro no Mi {Wiki says liquid Fruit}

　　特殊超人系·浆糊果实!

{Regular search>image>Baidu>Google lens image search>Honey queen>One piece wiki}

"The sword is a good one, but these Devil Fruits are quite… sticky," Adrian muttered.

"Although it was clear from the start that the World Government's people wouldn't trade any good Devil Fruits, these Nature and Special Paramecia types are really underwhelming, aren't they? The only one that's acceptable is the Swordfish Fruit, and I made sure to emphasize that!"

Suddenly, Adrian lifted a wooden box containing Devil Fruits and approached Borsalino.

Sengoku hurriedly ran over, blocking the path ahead, "White Ghost, what are you up to again?"

"I just want to test the authenticity of these Devil Fruits. What if the World Government gave me fakes?" Adrian innocently said, "I just want to find a user to test them, that's all."

Sengoku couldn't help but gave a glare, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if these Devil Fruits are real, Borsalino?"

"Who cares what happens to him?" Adrian shrugged.

Adrian decided to drop the matter, mainly because the panel also acknowledged that these three Devil Fruits were all intact and effective. Otherwise, there might be some trouble.

The Ghost Warrior instantly switched positions, taking all four items with him and leaving only a lingering sound.

"Want a Celestial Dragon? If you want it, go find it! I left him there…"

"At Sabaody Archipelago, the Human Auctioning House!"
