Infinity starting from giants

The Sweet Fruit is the Devil Fruit that the "Pirate Empress" Boya Hancock originally ate when she was a slave of the Dragon People.

The presence of this fruit among the spoils of war can be said to be both unexpected and reasonable.

This time the empress was possessed by Medusa when she was a child. If she would be kidnapped by a mere human trafficker, she might as well kill her with a piece of tofu.

Because the master and slave are in different worlds, Medusa will become much weaker if she loses contact with Ren, her master.

But no matter how weak she is, she still has the strength of a vice admiral.

It’s easy for the empress to use the power of Medusa in her body to bring down a group of human traffickers.

As a gorgon, Medusa possesses the "Petrification Eye" that can turn people into stone, which is enough to instantly kill those who are not strong enough in armed color. This effect is almost exactly the same as the sweet fruit.

Therefore, the empress is still the same empress, and she can still turn people to stone, but in a different way.

However, since Mary Jo was not captured as a slave, this superhuman sweet fruit that was originally in the hands of the Celestial Dragons would naturally not be eaten by the Pirate Empress.

So how did it end up on the sea?

"Fruit should not be judged by its appearance. It looks fresh, but it tastes like poop."

Ren took the bright red strawberry fruit covered with spiral patterns from Wen Xi's hand and looked at it carefully for a while.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, but I always feel like I'm looking at a fresh pile of Xiang...

He could feel that there was some special energy and rules contained inside the fruit, which was quite magical, but he didn't have much interest in research and picked up the instruction paper.

The above briefly explains the effects and origin of sweet fruit.

18 years ago, this Devil Fruit was indeed in the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

Although there is no empress, the Celestial Dragons do not lack slaves. When a dancer was a slave, she was forced to eat "sweet fruits" during a performance to entertain her.

However, she was tortured to death by the cruel Draco before she could survive until the fish-man hero Fisher Tiger climbed to the holy land of Mariejoia with his bare hands to free the slaves.

From this perspective, the original pirate empress Boya Hancock was really lucky. After four years of suffering, she was miraculously saved and was not tortured to death by the Celestial Dragons.

It is known that the Tianlong people would rape civilian girls as playthings, but I don’t know if they would rape female slaves. If they did, then the original empress would probably be ruined and humiliated...

After the poor dancer was tortured to death, the sweet fruit reappeared in the new world and was obtained by an underground organization.

Needless to say later, due to Ren's robbery, it fell into his hands from the Don Quixote family.

Ren held the sweet fruit, stared at Marcel and Wen Xi with a smile and asked:

"Which one of you wants to eat this fresh shit?"

Marcel:?(;′Д｀?)

"Please, boss, don't say it in such a disgusting way, okay?"

Wen Xi looked at the captain with a resentful look. It was over. Now he had no idea of ​​trying.

Then Marcel also shook his head firmly:

"Not to mention the taste, I don't want to become a landlubber. Human energy is limited. For me, kendo is enough to study for a lifetime."

This answer was within Ren's expectation.

In this world, swordsmen don't like eating devil fruits.

"Eagle Eye" Joracol Mihawk, Red-haired Shanks, Foil Bista, "Pluto" Rayleigh, "Momo Usagi" Gion... the powerful swordsmen are basically not able users.

Even Ame no Shiru didn't eat the Devil Fruit in the first place.

"And you."

Renn tossed the sweet fruit in his hand casually and looked at the navigator.

"Don't eat."

Wen Xi touched his round, unshaven face, then looked down at his tall, muscular figure, and shook his head: "I heard that those with sweet fruit abilities in the past were basically women, and only women used it well...

I still like myself as I am now, masculine, strong, mighty, and more masculine, and I don’t want to be a pretty boy like the captain who at first glance looks like he has kidney deficiency.”

"You're just a pretty boy."

Renn patted his forehead, opened a space door and threw the sweet fruit in, "Then leave it for now."

He didn't attach much importance to this fruit.

The Sweet Fruit is only average in power among the Superman-type Devil Fruits, and is incomparable to the Shock Fruit and Gravity Fruit, which are devil fruits with incredible effects.

More than what is lacking is more than what is lacking.

The Pirate Empress and it are a perfect match. The effect may be worse if it is replaced by another person, but now Hancock obviously has stronger power and can no longer use it...

But as long as it is a devil fruit, it is very valuable.

Sweet fruits are still very attractive to women who love beauty.

After Ren put away the devil fruit, he smiled slightly:

"Take out the phone bug that Rao G contacted and call Doflamingo to start blackmailing."

"hey-hey."

Wen Xi grinned, his eyes excited.

He carefully took out a communication phone bug from a beautiful box and dialed Tianyaksha's number.

"Polupolu..."

The cute phone bug starts working.

After the call was connected, the phone bug's face immediately imitated Doflamingo's appearance.

It was wearing a pink flamingo robe, and the expression on its face was a bit evil, a bit cynical, and a bit in need of a beating.

The most important thing is the iconic pink sunglasses.

It is said that glasses are the true identity of Brother Ming.

Well, there is also a kind smile like a good brother (who killed his younger brother) and a good son (who killed his father), which adds a lot of charm to Doflamingo's face.

"Long time no see, Dover!"

Ren greeted him cordially, as if he was a good brother who had been with him for a long time.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... don't scream so affectionately, I don't know you."

Brother Ming smiled evilly, but his voice was a bit cold.

The phone bug will imitate the appearance of the person on the call. Of course he knows that the other person is not one of his subordinates. After all, the person shown this time is not the shiny bald head of Rao G.

Ren shrugged: "Don't be so open-minded, Dover, soon we will be good brothers who can help each other."

"..."

It seems that he has never seen such a familiar person. Brother Ming was speechless for a moment, and his face began to turn cold, "Where is Rao G?"

"He was very unlucky. He was beaten half to death. I hate people who don't respect the elderly and care for the young the most. So I drew my sword to help when I saw an injustice and saved the old man's life from the pirates... Of course, I also did the transport ship.

I took it over for you."

Ren opened his eyes and lied, his face not red, his heart not beating, "Let me introduce myself, I am Ren, the captain of the Lionheart Pirates."

"Oh, is it so?"

Brother Ming was obviously not stupid, and said in a conspiratorial tone, "Then what do you want to do when you call me? Make friends?"

He was sure that something must have happened to Rao G, and it was the Lion Heart Pirates who appeared out of nowhere.

"It's nothing. In order to save your men, we also suffered heavy losses."

Ren rubbed his hands and said eagerly, "Can you give me some money for helping others? This way I can pay homage to my dead brother."

"You want to blackmail me?!"

Brother Ming adjusted his glasses and almost laughed angrily.

Angry or not, his tone was more of a sense of absurdity.

Someone actually beat his people and dared to blackmail him.

He was willing to help others, was it because he couldn't carry the knife, or did the other party take advantage of the Celestial Dragon's courage?

Ren said plausibly: "This is not blackmail. Treating the wounded requires medical expenses. You so many combatants also have to eat every day..."

"Stop!"

Doflamingo interrupted his nonsense, perhaps because he felt that this fact was extremely ridiculous. Instead of being angry, he showed a playful smile on his lips, "Captain Lane, what if I don't give it to you?"

"Then there's no way."

Ren shook his head regretfully, "There is not much food on the ship. In order to prevent my people from starving to death, I can only throw Mr. Rao G and the combatants of the Don Quixote family into the sea to feed the fish."

"..."

These words made the phone bug, no, made Brother Ming's eyes completely cold.

The color of the phone bug's skin became redder, like boiling magma, which also symbolized the anger gradually rising in Tianyaksha's heart, but he still had an evil smile on his face:

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa long time, I haven't encountered such a ridiculous thing, and it still feels a bit fresh.

Little devil, you succeeded in pleasing me.

However, do you know what you are doing? Or do you think that the Don Quixote family and the King Shichibukai's money is easy to get?"

"There is no need to remind me of your background and power."

Ren sat on the chair and calmly looked at the phone on the table and said, "Don Quixote Doflamingo, one of the King's Seven Sea Warriors, used conspiracy to seize Dres ten years ago.

Rosa's throne.

With the help of the authority granted to Shichibukai by the World Government, he engages in illegal activities such as drugs, human trafficking, and selling large quantities of killing weapons in the underground society. He does all kinds of evil, both black and white, and his influence network spreads all over the world...

Is there anything else you’d like to add?”

Dover: "..."

The situation is somewhat unexpected.

Only then did he realize that this was not a newcomer who had just come from the first half of the Grand Line and didn't know the heights of the world...

Tianyaksha narrowed his eyes, and before he could speak, Ren stood up and walked to the phone bug, giving it a kind smile:

"Why do you think you can scare me?

Is it because of your noble status as a former Celestial Dragon? Or is it because of the fact that the Shichibukai, who are obviously under the name of the World Government, secretly colluded with the Yonko Kaido, so you have the confidence? "

What a joke, give him a chance and he would dare to blackmail Kaido of the Beasts...

"..."

At this time, even Doflamingo's palace changed slightly.

The identity of a Celestial Dragon is nothing, others may still be able to find out if they check carefully, or even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter.

But he secretly colluded with the Beast Pirates, and that was a big secret. Even few people in the Don Quixote family knew about it, and all of them were his absolute confidants.

Because the King's Shichibukai System was established by the World Government specifically for the Four Emperors.

Brother Ming's collusion with the Four Emperors as King Shichibukai is as ridiculous as selling drugs and running a drug rehabilitation center at the same time.

Once this incident is exposed, he will definitely not get any good results. Not to mention that the World Government may cause trouble for him, and it is almost inevitable that he will be revoked as the King of the Shichibukai.

Doflamingo obviously put aside his contempt and said for the first time in a formal negotiation tone, "What do you want?"

"Your people + hush money, at least one billion Baileys." Lion Lion opened his mouth and slaughtered the fat sheep, "In addition, add a Devil Fruit!"

The people refer to the lives of Rao G and the others, and the hush money refers to the Don Quixote family's secret collusion with the Beast Pirates.

Rao G is not worth a billion beli at all, but the latter is enough.

"Where do you plan to trade in a safe place?"

Doflamingo emphasized the word "safety" with a sneer on his face, "Don't tell me it's in Dressrosa."

He was deliberately sarcastic, not wanting to be too passive and trying to regain the dominance of the conversation.

For fear of being ambushed and killed by the Don Quixote family, the other party would definitely not dare to trade in his territory. This would implicitly show weakness in his attitude, and it was also a silent threat.

"Of course it's in Dressrosa."

Ren picked his ears and said nonchalantly, "My ship will land in half a day, and I don't want to change places midway."

He didn't have time to scheming with Tenyaksha. Once he got the money, he would go to the Shampoo Islands to have fun and try out Kizaru's skills.

Brother Ming:(?_?)

Did he mean that he just robbed his ship and came here non-stop to extort money?

Being so arrogant, does Tianyaksha have no respect for him?

This answer obviously made Brother Ming a little surprised.

He was not sure if the other party was bluffing, or if he was not smart enough to think that he might be ambushed and killed, or if he really had two tricks and was not afraid of Don Quixote's family?

Never heard of the Lionheart Pirates...

Renn...this name seems a bit familiar, but I just can't remember it for the moment.

"Baaaaaaaaaaa..."

Brother Ming laughed evilly again, "Okay, I'll prepare the money and devil fruits, call all the members of the Don Quixote family, and welcome Captain Renne together, how about that?"

"no."

"Could it be that you're afraid?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong." Ren raised the corners of his mouth and said with his nostrils pointing upward, "I mean this is not enough!

Remember to call the palace's guard of honor, and have the people of the kingdom line up in the dock area, and prepare fireworks... In short, the scene must be grand and grand!

It’s best to have loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people... all the people will welcome the arrival of the king of the new world, do you understand?"

Brother Ming: "..."

[○?‘Д′?○]

He thinks that he has been traversing the sea for many years and is an old pirate who is used to big winds and waves, but he has never seen anything like this today...

Everything that happened today was so ridiculous that it made him feel like the whole world was broken.

'Return the king of the new world? Whitebeard, even Kaido wouldn't dare to brag like that...'

Brother Ming's face twitched crazily a few times, and veins twitched on his forehead.

He didn't know whether he felt angry or funny.

I always feel very tired, as if I haven’t woken up...

After a few perfunctory conversations and confirming the time for the transaction, the call was interrupted.

………

Dressrosa, King's Heights.

This is the location of the royal palace. It is built like a luxury resort and is located at the highest point of the kingdom. It is also the villa of the Don Quixote family. Members of the family and above are eligible to live here.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, the pool was sparkling, and the water was crystal clear.

Brother Ming put down the phone with a gloomy face, stood up from the white recliner, and waved to the guard:

"Send Violet over here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard received the order and left in a hurry.

Not long after, a sexy and tall woman came over.

She has extraordinary appearance, with long flowing brown and black hair, beautiful light brown pupils with gleaming light, a red flower on her head, and a flamenco dance costume that cannot hide her graceful and hot figure.

Sister Yu is mature, intellectual, and every move she makes is elegant and appropriate.

Violet, the dancer of Dressrosa and the assassin of the Trebol Legion of the Don Quixote family.

Her true identity is the daughter of King Riku and the former princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

However, King Riku has been replaced by Ming Ge, and the kingdom has been occupied by the Don Quixote family. She is now just a princess in distress. In order to save her father's life, she can only choose to serve Doflamingo.

"Dover, what's the matter?"

Violet bowed gracefully like a maid and asked in a soft voice.

She didn't call him Your Majesty or Young Master, but instead called Dover affectionately.

There are rumors that she and Brother Ming have a physical relationship. If it is true, it can only mean that Brother Ming is very lucky...

Doflamingo glanced at her lightly, as if he was not moved by the princess's beauty at all. He knew in his heart that this woman would not be his confidant, but he still needed her for now.

"Violet, search the sea area on the channel. There is a pirate ship approaching here. We found a young man with short black hair, blue eyes, and regular features. His identity is the captain..."

"Understood."

Violet was a little confused, but she immediately activated her fruit ability to search for pirate ships on the waterway.

She is a superhuman type with the ability to stare at the fruit.

The destructive power of the Staring Fruit is average, but its function is very unnatural. It can see through things, read minds, and see through all lies. Although it has limitations, it is still very scary.

Moreover, people with abilities are usually in a state of clairvoyance, which allows them to use their vision as the center point to conduct long-distance observations and searches within a radius of 4,000 kilometers.

Advanced radar, lie detector, capable of taking X-rays... This is why Brother Ming will keep her by his side.

This woman is so useful...

"I saw."

Violet looked out, as if staring at someone through many obstacles.

"His name is Wren."

Doflamingo thought about it and said slowly, "He seems to be somewhat famous. You can go to the intelligence office to search for information based on his appearance. The more detailed the better!"

"clear."

Violet nodded, turned and left.

But soon she ran back, handed him a few worn pieces of information paper, and explained, "That's all. He doesn't seem to be a big shot."

Doflamingo was noncommittal.

He unfolded the document, and there was a lot of information written under a black and white photo of a bright smile.

Name: Francis D. Lane

Age: 25 years old

Birthplace: Chambord Islands

Occupation: Explorer, bounty hunter.

Bounty: 5 million Baileys

After reading some of the information, Doflamingo had a question mark on his face.

He thought it was some kind of dragon crossing the river, but this is what happened?

How dare you just come to blackmail him?
