Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

Scud was the fastest among the people who came to hunt Lin Mo.

In an instant, Scud's legs were cut off.

The eyes of the group of people who came with him almost popped out of their sockets, and everyone took half a step back unconsciously.

A lot of cold sweat broke out on Batman's forehead.

"Who are you?" Batman asked with an ugly face.

Lin Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and smoothly turned the second-generation ghost in his hand, and threw it towards the bat-man without hesitation.

The bat-man was startled and reflexively avoided it, but before he could do it, his left wing was cut open by the second-generation ghost.

"Hiss..." The bat-man screamed in pain, his center of gravity was unsteady, and he almost fell from the air.

Lin Mo caught the falling knife handle of the second-generation ghost, and struck the bat-man again.

The batman was so frightened that he quickly flapped his wings and ran away. Those who surrounded Lin Mo saw that the leader had run away. No one dared to stay here anymore and immediately dispersed. Those who ran were faster than the other.

Batman's speed was still a bit slower than that of Scud, but he reacted quickly and ran ahead of time. Although he avoided fatal injuries, his right leg was still slashed by the sword energy of the second generation Ghost.

Deep scars on the bones are visible.

Seeing that these pursuers ran away consciously, Lin Mo didn't have the leisure to chase them.

Now there are only him and Scud, who can't escape smoothly without his legs.

Scud thought he was dead.

But Lin Mo just walked away as if he didn't see him.

Looking at Lin Mo's retreating back, Scud didn't know whether he should be happy or sad now.

Lin Mo's current state is to wander around aimlessly. When he encounters villages and small towns, he goes in to check them out. When he is hungry, he goes to rob some relatively wealthy people. If it is close to the manor, he goes to the manor to get it. Sometimes he eats when he is full.

If there is still more food, he will also throw some to the children begging on the roadside depending on his mood.

After wandering around freely for two days, Lin Mo accidentally transferred to Jianlu Village again.

It just so happened that two carts of junk supplies that no one wanted were delivered to Boluo Town. People from Pickle Village rushed over in a swarm, waiting for the people in Boluo Town to throw the supplies on the ground. Only in this way could they pick them up.

Two piles of food that smelled of rot were discarded on the ground. Most people would not pick up these leftovers.

But the people living here are tortured by hunger all day long. As long as they can eat it, even if it is rotten, they will treat it as a treasure.

From afar, Lin Mo saw people from Jianluo Village picking up supplies. Not to mention that they were broken, but they had been eaten, so Lin Mo was disgusted.

However, among the two piles of 'garbage', there were some fresh-looking apple-like fruits, which caught Lin Mo's attention.

Those strange apples have several spiral patterns on them, and strangely, those apple-like fruits are all lost after being bitten.

Is it possible that those fruits are unpalatable?

If that were the case, if it tasted bad, just one would be enough. Why would you eat so many? And each one only took one bite.

Lin Mo was wondering.

The voice of Ah He, the proprietress of the teahouse in Jianlu Village, suddenly came from the side: "The people in our village only survive by relying on the things they don't need from Jianboluo Town from time to time. Even though the food doesn't seem to be good,

For us, having a bite to eat is already a gift from God.”

Lin Mo glanced at Ahe and said expressionlessly: "The less you resist, the more passive your situation will be."

Ahe shook his head and said: "We have no way to resist now. All we can do now is to survive as much as possible."

Lin Mo shifted his attention to the food thrown on the ground and continued: "Those fruits are all fresh, aren't they delicious? Why are they only eaten in one bite?"

Ah He's originally relaxed expression gradually turned serious: "That's not a good thing. If you eat it, you will have to wear a mask for the rest of your life."

Lin Mo asked strangely: "Mask? What mask?"

Ahe replied: "A mask that loses all emotions and can only laugh."

Lin Mo: "..."

It doesn't sound like it's really a good thing.

But why does that strange fruit look familiar to him?

It seemed as if I had seen it somewhere before.

Seeing that something was wrong with Lin Mo's condition, Ah He asked, "Xiao Jiliang, are you okay?"

After coming back to his senses, Lin Mo shook his head and said: "It's okay, I seem to have seen this kind of fruit somewhere."

"This kind of fruit cannot be found on the market in Wano. It is only available from Kaido and Orochi, and they all use it secretly. How could you have seen it?"

"I have seen it." Lin Mo said with certainty, "It's just that I can't remember it now."

As he spoke, Lin Mo looked at his hands. For some reason, he felt like there was something else he could do.

Then, under the surprised gazes of himself and Ahe, a complete smile artificial fruit appeared out of thin air in his hand!

Lin Mo: "!"

Ahe exclaimed: "Ah? Where did you come from? Hide it quickly, this thing cannot be discovered by others!"

Ah He quickly looked around and saw that no one noticed them, so he quickly pulled Lin Mo into the teahouse.

In the teahouse, Ahe asked in a low voice: "Xiao Jiliang, tell me honestly, where did you get this thing?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "I don't know, I just wanted to take it out, so I came out."

As he said this, Lin Mo had another artificial fruit in his hand.

Ah He didn't believe it at first, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was also confused.

"Uh, this...how is this possible..." Ahe said in disbelief, "Have you been to Kaido's factory? Or to Huadu?"

Lin Mo continued to shake his head: "I haven't been there."

"Then why..."

"have no idea."

"Ah, forget it." Ahe said helplessly, "Since you really don't want to say it, I won't force you, but there is a sentence you must listen to. This is an artificial devil fruit called smile. If you eat it,

People will be abandoned by the sea and unable to swim, but they will have the power of animals and become cruel, which is a very terrible fruit."

Hearing this, Lin Mo asked expressionlessly: "It can make people stronger, isn't it good?"

"Not good." Ahe sighed lightly and continued, "Allowing people to gain power will definitely be accompanied by risks. After all, artificial Devil Fruits do not have as high a success rate as natural Devil Fruits. People who can truly obtain the abilities of artificial Devil Fruits

, only 10%, and the other 90% of people who are also unable to swim will not only not have their abilities strengthened, but will also lose their emotions and can only laugh their whole life."

When Ah He said this, Lin Mo understood.

Sure enough, this thing is not a good thing...
