I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"Ruff,"

"Here, devil fruit salad platter."

On the autonomous ground-effect aircraft, the blond chef placed a fruit platter in front of his captain.

"I don't want-"

Facing the delicious food, the one-armed boy tilted his head.

"Don't be a child and give it to me!"

After getting acquainted, the female navigator who had "no respect" for her captain began to roll up her sleeves and prepared to pick up the plate directly.

"Ruff, I know you don't want to eat alone, but:"

Zoro, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, folded his arms and closed his eyes to relax, raised his eyelids.

"You are our captain."

"Although I feel a little reluctant to say this, your strength is far superior to ours."

I still remember that when they first met, the strength of the two was almost the same; but now Rufu has begun to fight against the ghost-level powerhouse: even though it is just an 'illusion', and he did not attack with all his strength.

But it would be very dangerous for them to even get close to that battlefield.

Whatever the reason, it is what it is.

"So you deserve it."

This is the 'artificial devil fruit' they traded from Roman, and is given to Luffy first.

But it was obvious that Rufu didn't want to enjoy it alone, which made the atmosphere at the scene awkward.

"Um, can I have an opinion?"

The long-nosed sniper raised his hand and made his proposal under the gaze of everyone.

"Ruff, you eat first."

"After eating, write a 500-word testimonial."

ah? !

In an instant, the one-armed boy who had been tilting his head in anger just now had a look of shock on his face and broke his guard on the spot.

"Five to five hundred words?"

What a joke!

Does he seem like a guy who could write that much?

He has been dancing with swords and sticks since he was a child, exercising with his father, and learning to shoot. After the advent of the extraordinary era, a militia was established to protect the people from retreating. Now he is fighting fiercely with the Nine-Tails forces every day. This kind of experience made him write a 500-word food testimonial?

"You are bullying the disabled!"

The young man with only one hand gave up on the spot and slapped the table loudly.

"Wait, wait, Ruf."

The long-nosed sniper explained as he picked up the fish tank on the table to prevent the shock from shocking the 'King of the Offshore' who was sleeping in the fish tank.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about a question?"

"This 'artificial devil fruit' must have an upper limit on consumption."

?

"Tell me in detail,"

Several others were stunned, and even Zoro opened his eyes completely.

"Think about it, if there is no upper limit on the consumption of artificial devil fruits, shouldn't the Cervantes family just eat it and become extraordinary masters?"

However, the actual situation is that the average level of the members of the Cervantes family is indeed higher than that of other forces; the head of the family, Roman, is one of the "Shichibukai", but his strength is not much higher than the others. It can even be said that there is a big gap between him and the strongest Rufus and Teach.

Among the Shichibukai, there are also strong and weak ones.

"yes,"

The navigator girl came back to her senses,

"There must be a limit to these artificial Devil Fruits!"

"If you eat a certain amount every day, it will have no effect, or if your strength reaches a certain level, you will no longer be able to continue to improve."

"Quick--give me something to eat quickly, and then tell us how you feel!"

He picked up the plate and poured it directly into his captain's mouth.

"Ooooooo, no~~"

"Chew, chew, yummy!"

The 'Artificial Devil Fruit' was stuffed directly into his mouth. Luffy swallowed it in several mouthfuls and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

"You can feel the strengthening of your physique, but it's much weaker."

"Well, if the normal Devil Fruit is 10, then the artificial Devil Fruit is only about 3."

"Very well, continue."

The navigator girl tilted her head and signaled, and the blond chef turned to the kitchen to prepare the second portion.

"Try it and see how much you need to eat before the effect fades."

As for being eaten directly by Rufu?

Then it’s time to finish eating!

Anyway, these artificial devil fruits that their adventure group exchanged were originally used to 'feed' the captain.

Only Luffy can withstand the powerful enemy of the Nine-Tails Force.

at the same time,

The non-concierge southern island is shrouded in super fog covering an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers.

It is said that this fog is formed by a cursed 'artifact', which is invulnerable to wind and rain, and is invulnerable to water and fire; even if the 'gap' state is created by the explosion of a nuclear weapon, it will be covered again in just ten seconds.

Yes, nuclear bombs have been hit here, and they were also powerful strategic nuclear weapons.

But it's of no use.

The super fog covering 100,000 square kilometers, even if Ivan the Great comes, he will still scratch his head. It is impossible to expect nuclear weapons to blast the non-conservative south into the sea, right?

If it can't be done, it would be good if nuclear weapons can scrape off a layer of land; to blow up the 14th largest island in the world, unless we wait until some time, we can point out black technology such as the 'continental shelf oscillator'.

Over a certain city in the fog, a super 'Bi Yao' hundreds of meters long was floating in the air.

He, no, there are a large number of hexagonal holes in her body, and countless demons are drilling in and out of them: a large number of demons are flying into them with various broken limbs and corpses; and there are more new ones. The demon got out and spread out in all directions.

Yes, this is a ‘mother’!

Or should I say, this is the real Bi Yao: those who usually are her offspring.

If the mother body is killed, the number of beyons will be suppressed; but it is obvious that in this huge fog, there is no technology at all that can locate the existence of the mother body.

As for individual investigation?

Stop it!

Otakemaru didn't want to step into the fog.

Being besieged by six great demons, even the young master of the Sea Kingdom would suffer.

On top of this huge 'monster body', giant bone spurs grew out and intertwined into a 'palace'; in the palace, a meeting belonging to the great demons was also going on.

"The country of the sea opens the way with the 'Fog-dispelling Pearl',"

"Continuously encroaching on the coverage area of ​​the 'Ama no Haiya', intending to drive us out of this area,"

The Great Onmyoji "Blood Hakama" was the first to speak. Around the round table made of chitin exoskeleton, sat several great demons belonging to the Nine-Tails force.

The 'Eye of God' Hinata Toneri, the strongest 'Martial Arts School' Guren, the Great Onmyoji 'Genge Hakama', Tamamo-mae's maid 'Kajimai', and the human Takahashi Ai Rei.

As for the other great monsters: the 'wave arrow' is the mist covering the entire island, the sea anemone wanders in the depths of the sea, and the pseudo-dazzle is on guard outside.

These three big monsters didn't have much IQ, and they couldn't speak well. Meeting to discuss such things would be in vain.

"Our original plan was to move south and collect souls, but now -"

But he encountered a sniper attack.

In the face of multiple great demons, technological weapons are simply unable to withstand them.

After all, these big monsters know all about modern weapons and would not be stupid enough to catch a nuclear bomb with their face.

"Hmph, the opponent only has one big demon, and he can't beat him?"

The 'sheren' with white clothes, white hair, fair skin and white eyes spoke coldly, speaking condescendingly.

"Hehehe, you don't have to be too harsh on them~~"

'Guren', who was like a huge black lion, squatted on his seat, licked his paws, and his eyes drifted towards Xue Hakama and Takahashi Ai Ling.

"After all, they are just two amateur demons."

"you--"

'Xue Hakama' suddenly turned his head, and on the curtain that covered his face, the dark word '三' was written thickly.

"Calm down, everyone, now is not the time for internal strife."

Zhiwu stood up waving a small folding fan,

"Otakemaru is watching with eager eyes, and that old guy Hai Ming is helping from the side."

"Sheren, Honglian, and Pseudo-Duan must stay on guard."

The remaining sea hyenas have no IQ and can be just as good at abusing food. It is unrealistic to expect him to fight against an expert: the sea hyenas are so large and are clearly designed to destroy the environment. They have no advantage against small extraordinary beings with high mobility. It can be said.

On the contrary, it is easy to fill up, and various large-scale spells can cause damage.

"Then, how about I take charge of the southern offensive?"

Zhiwu took the initiative to ask for help, but in fact there was no one left, unless the Nine-Tails forces continued to resurrect other tails.

However, the reality is that collecting souls is not enough.

"you?"

Hong Lian glanced at Zhi Wu, her eyes filled with thunder revealed disbelief.

After all, 'Zhi Wu' is not a diligent being, otherwise with the large number of magic weapons in her hands, the great demons would not be in such a passive situation.

"Hehehe~~ Don't worry, even if I don't use brute force, I still have many ways to defeat the enemy."

Paper dance folding fan covers the face, talking and laughing.

Seems like you already have a plan in mind?

This made Takahashi Ailing, who was holding Nekomata's Photon, tilt her head.

Forget it, what do these things have to do with her? Anyway, just listen to Sister Zhiwu and it will be fine.

Queen Anne's Revenge,

Captain's cabin.

"The party is over, hero?"

As Tikki pushed open the door, a childish voice that was arrogant and mocking sounded.

"Haha, it's just a boring social interaction."

The little giant-like pirate captain sat down cross-legged casually, facing the little girl sitting on the throne.

"Your Excellency Jiukong, is my performance in this operation considered adequate?"

"It's just average,"

The little girl sitting on the throne held her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at the ambitious man in front of her.

"So, what reward do you want from me?"

“It’s not about rewards, it’s about cooperation.”

Sitting cross-legged, Tiqi had a serious look on his face. He lost his usual laughter and pretended to be flattering, revealing his true true face of ambition.

"I have a plan,"

"If the plan succeeds, I will become a ghost-level strongman!"

?

Hearing Tiqi's words, Jiukong Yaoai couldn't help but sit upright.

"Tell me and listen,"

Ghost level,

That is, the great demon.

Only at this level can one be considered a strong person, possessing the strength to ignore modern armies; whether it is destruction or assassination, it is unbearable for any country.

Only ghost-level experts can practice their will in this extraordinary era.

Kafka single-handedly changed the image of the island nation’s army as a weakling.

Master Zhixiong founded a sect and preached scriptures and Dharma.

Yuluo is the signature of Huakaiyuan family;

As for Yuu, he has transcended the ghost level and is the reason why the island country can still exist.

After all, there are only a few dragon-level ones, only three or four. Among them is Abe Seimei, Kuukora's "enemy" and his former "mentor".

If you want to take revenge on Qingming, you need to have ghost-level strength; otherwise, if you can't even save your life with an onmyoji, how can you talk about "revenge" in your dreams?

"This plan is very bold and dangerous."

"The success rate is infinitely close to zero!"

After listening to Tiqi's plan, Jiukong Yaoai also looked serious.

"But it's not zero, right?"

The little giant sitting opposite her grinned.

"Then it's worth the gamble, thief hahaha~~"

"Not bad,"

Seeing that the other party was so courageous, the little girl Jiukong Yaoai also became interested.

"Then I'll help you once, collaborator."

"First, let you become the 'hero' of this sea area."
