I, the Fruit Snatcher

In the rainstorm, Long walked alone in Rogue Town, but no one noticed him.

"Sure enough, can't you find Qin Lang's origin?"

Under Long's coat, a small telephone bug made a voice:

"A person cannot appear in this world out of thin air.

If no clues can be found, someone must have covered up his life experience.

Commander, will Qin Lang be the secret agent sent by the world government to the new world?"

Long said calmly in front of him:

"Sabo, don't make subjective judgments before you have enough information.

Qin Lang gives me a very strange feeling.

The reason why I am curious about his background is because I want to know what kind of country can give birth to such a peaceful and open-minded strong man."

Sabo became interested in the Den Den Mushi:

"It's amazing that you, the commander, can praise him so much.

It seems that this is an extraordinary guy!

Since the commander is so interested, why not contact him directly?"

Long grinned and laughed:

"I did intend to do so.

But when he was fighting Smoker, I overheard his conversation with Smoker by relying on the wind.

Qin Lang said that he had eaten the gifted devil fruit and was a gifted person who could simulate other people with special abilities."

"Can you imitate other people's devil fruits? Is there really such a heaven-defying devil fruit?

I've never seen it in a devil fruit book! Satsuma on the other side of the phone was surprised.

Long nodded and said with a slight smile:

"I've also never heard of the existence of this devil fruit.

If a devil fruit of this level really appeared in history, corresponding records should be left.

But in history, there is no record at all about the fruits of talent."

"Are you suspecting that he is lying?"

Long shook his head:

"No, I saw him simulate Smoker's smoke ability with my own eyes. Moreover, the smoke fruit ability he developed is stronger than Smoker's real smoke fruit!"

Sumo said in disbelief:

"What?

The pirated ability is stronger than the original one?

This is not common sense!"

Long recalled the battle between Qin Lang and the smoker just now, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart:

"The ability of the talent fruit is stronger than you imagine!

Qin Lang is simply a nightmare for those with devil fruit abilities.

The ability of pirated copies is stronger than that of genuine ones, and it is only the first time Qin Lang has come into contact with the Smoke Fruit.

Smoker is a qualified warrior, and he can quickly adjust his frustrated mentality.

If it were someone else with a weak mind, it would probably be difficult to recover from the blow."

Satsuma kept sucking in the cold air:

"With this powerful fruit, Qin Lang may soon create his own reputation in the new world."

Long's expression returned to calmness and he said calmly:

"So I won't meet Qin Lang before I figure out his purpose of going to sea.

If he is an enemy, once he simulates my ability, things will become very difficult."

Sumo imagined an enemy with dragon ability.

"hiss……"

Sam was trembling all over, a little scared.

As someone who grew up with Long, he knew how powerful Long's devil fruit was.

Long:

"Therefore, it is better not for me to meet him before I understand his origin and purpose.

I will leave it to you to contact him."

Satsuma:

"Well, leave it to me! commander"

……

On the warship.

Smoker sat alone on the deck, looking at the phone bug in his hand, and said bitterly:

"Qingzhi, he makes me feel like I am facing you, making me look so weak and powerless.

You are all real monsters."

A lazy voice came from the phone:

"I obviously didn't do anything, but I left such a horrible impression on you. Smoker said in a low voice:

"Just because you guys don't make any effort and just deal with it casually, you can easily surpass the goals that normal people like me can achieve with all their efforts.

But you monsters are completely indifferent to this, and you even think it should be this way."

Qing Pheasant burst out laughing, not caring about Smoker's angry voice at all.

He took off his blindfold and started doing it, laughing loudly and saying:

"This new pirate actually scared you like this, it seems he is really a capable guy."

Smoker said in a somewhat irritable voice:

"You don't understand how I felt at that time!

If you could experience this, being completely crushed by someone who has just seen your ability, using the ability you have developed for several years.

You wouldn't be in such a smiling mood."

Smoker took a deep breath, calmed down, and said calmly:

"I don't want to experience that feeling of defeat and powerlessness again.

I have been stable for too long, and I need to fight constantly to stimulate me to comprehend new fighting skills.

The next time I meet Qin Lang, I will never let him use the power of the smoke fruit to play with me like I do now."

Qingji said lazily:

"So, the purpose of your calling me this time was just to tell me.

You, a naval captain in Rogue Town, gave up the town you were guarding and wanted to chase a new pirate?"

Smoker took a deep breath:

"No! I want you to issue a reward order for Qin Lang in the name of the Navy Headquarters."

Qing Pheasant said strangely:

"Qin Lang's bounty?"

Smoker nodded:

"right! I want to remind other navies not to make enemies of each other easily.

Therefore, I suggest that the reward order for Qin Lang should reach the same reward as the Qiwuhai, so that the ordinary navy can retreat in spite of difficulties."

Qingzhi's usually lazy voice became a little sharp at this time:

"Smoker, you want a pirate to reach the level of Shichibukai with his first bounty order?"

Smoker said seriously:

"Qin Lang is definitely a pirate with the same level of combat power as the Qiwuhai, or even worse!

How many pirates have you seen with overlord haki?

Such a special guy cannot be judged by the standards of ordinary pirates!

The Navy must pay attention to this dangerous guy. Don't be your enemy easily!"

Although overlord-colored domineering is very rare, there are still a lot of them.

Qing Pheasant felt that Smoker was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he sighed and comforted:

"Smoker, are you scared by this pirate? The high-ranking officers of the navy will definitely disagree with this."

Smoker said coldly:

"If they had seen Qin Lang's strength, they would probably be more timid than me.

He is not a person who can be judged by common sense at all!"

Qingzhi sighed and said:

"If you really insist, I can issue this order in the name of the admiral.

But don't you think that it would be counterproductive for an unknown pirate to be given such special attention from the beginning?"

Smoker sneered:

"How could a strong man with the strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea remain unknown?

In less than a year, Qin Lang's name will spread throughout the New World!

And I just spread his name in advance so that the navy will pay attention to him."

Seeing Smoker so serious, Aokiji lay back on the bed, put on his eye mask and said lazily:

"Then I will issue a reward order in the name of the admiral. Smoker said in a deep voice:

"Also, I have a bounty title that suits Qin Lang very well."

Aokiji took off his eye mask, glanced at Den Den Mushi, and said with a smile:

"You even thought of a name for the other party? Smoker, your mental state is very strange!"

Ignoring the squeeze in Aokiji's words, Smoker recalled the battle with Qin Lang just now and murmured:

"When fighting Qin Lang. The smoke fruit ability that belonged to me seemed to have been robbed by him. It no longer belonged to me, the smoke man, but it should have belonged to him.

The moves he displayed and the use of his abilities were completely beyond my imagination.

At that time I had a strange feeling.

It's like my ability was robbed by Qin Lang."

Several bolts of lightning flashed over the warship, awakening Smoker from his memories.

Smoker took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice:

"【fruit snatcher】！"

……

The next morning, the Navy Headquarters issued a new bounty order.

On the bounty order, a pirate in white clothes was holding a sword in both hands, looking at the camera with a smile, with extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance.

【Fruit Predator·Qin Lang]

Reward amount: 100 million Berry.

Reason for the reward: An extremely dangerous newcomer who defeated the Navy Captain [White Hunter Smoker] and the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates in Rogue Town.

……

This unprecedented bounty for newcomers caused a huge uproar among the pirates in the New World.
