The Pirate Garen

"Mysterious natural devil fruit?"

Galen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head without thinking, "I'm not interested."

Galen had already asked the system about whether he could eat a devil fruit, and the answer he got was:

Can be eaten, but not used.

To be precise, it cannot be used in data mode.

Because although the body in the digital mode communicates with Galen's physical body in terms of basic attributes such as life and strength, strictly speaking, it is actually just a game character manipulated by the player Galen, so he can play all kinds of characters that are contrary to reality. Operation of virtual settings.

Correspondingly, the devil fruit can only give the ability to Galen's body, and there is no way to add a skill to Galen in the digital mode.

Galen didn't want to waste a lot of money chasing a devil fruit that wouldn't work in battle.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing that the other party was still entangled, Galen impatiently scolded the human trafficker who turned into a salesman in front of him:

"I don't have the slightest interest in the things in your auction house!"

"If you dare to stand in my way again"

The trafficker's breath was stagnant, and the cold sweat that had just stopped dripping down his forehead like a waterfall.

"snort!"

Galen snorted coldly in disdain, turned around and carried Perona, who was trembling under his hands, to leave.

Turning around, Galen saw a familiar figure coming from the direction of the island.

It was a fat black man with a bold smile on his face and a chivalrous air, who was followed by a dozen younger brothers like stars and moons.

It seemed to be accidental and fate, at this moment, the eyes of both sides collided in the air.

After a brief astonishment, the two of them did not exchange any extra words, but they both fell into deep thought tacitly at the same moment.

As it stands, the relationship between Galen and Teach is complicated:

On the surface, they are rivals who have fought fiercely; in private, they are friends who call themselves brothers.

But in their hearts, they are wary of each other and have their own thoughts.

In view of such a complicated relationship, the two consciously kept a safe distance and did not approach each other.

But when Tiqi saw Galen, he still couldn't help but thumped in his heart, only feeling that there was a very bad premonition in his heart.

"."

Galen pondered for a moment, then turned to Nami and asked, "How much money does our company have?"

"how?"

Nami woke up suddenly, opened her eyes wide again and said:

"You don't really want to buy that natural devil fruit, do you?"

"Our company has no money to buy this kind of thing!"

An ordinary devil fruit is worth 100 million Baileys regardless of its attributes.

And the price of this devil fruit with unknown properties was introduced by the salesman just now:

The starting price is 500 million.

Galen didn't care about things all the year round, and he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Nami's answer:

"I can't even get 500 million. Is our company so poor?"

The East China Sea is the weakest sea, but definitely not the poorest sea.

On the contrary, the most peaceful and stable East China Sea is the most prosperous and peaceful sea area among the four seas.

Therefore, Galen, who made his fortune in the East China Sea, got used to counting money in units of "billion" early on.

"Galen, our company's funds are really tight."

Weiwei, who served as the administrator of the Rainland under Galen, couldn't help but echoed:

"Although our income is high, you spend too much money."

"Just the river-crossing bridge project and port expansion project you planned in Yudi will overdraft Yudi's fiscal revenue for the next three years."

"Not to mention, you have to build a railway in the East China Sea."

In addition to the example of infrastructure construction that brought the local government to the brink of bankruptcy, Miss Robin, the secretary who knows the boss's business and private affairs, explained the company's current difficulties to Galen in a unique way:

There was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and she pointed to the various shopping bags in Galen's hand and said:

"Galen!"

"If the company's funds are not tight, you will not only have such a little thing on hand."

"Forehead?"

Galen was taken aback for a moment, and then he looked at his hands:

I was pressing Perona who was still dishonest with one hand, and holding all kinds of clothing and jewelry that Nami bought today with the other hand

"What Nami bought, I, unexpectedly."

"Can it be held with one hand?"

Galen was stunned to discover this horrifying fact.

Galen did not go out shopping with Nami very often, but once Nami dragged him out, Galen had to carry a big bag that could crush a small pirate with a level of tens of millions to death every time before leaving.

The little thief cat Nami, who has completely changed her concept of money and liberated her desire for consumption, has already owned a dressing room more gorgeous than Weiwei, the princess of a big country, in less than a year.

But today, Galen accompanied Nami to go shopping for a long time, and it only cost 20,000 Baileys, just enough to buy Aaron's head.

"this"

Looking at Nami, Galen couldn't help but said with great emotion: "This is too frugal!"

"Unexpectedly, the company's finances are so difficult that even you have to save money to live."

"I've really wronged you, Nami!"

"Well"

Nami's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

As soon as she lowered her head, Nami saw the pair of high-heeled shoes she had just bought, worth more than three million Baileys. This price was equivalent to her stepping on a Perona.

"Galen."

Nami blushed and whispered:

"We just made a lot of money from Golden Lion, if you want to buy devil fruit, go and buy it."

Under Tiqi's displeased eyes, Galen and his party walked into the auction hall swaggeringly.

And Galen did make up his mind to bid for this mysterious natural fruit with the greatest malice towards Tiqi:

If it is a natural fruit of other attributes, then Galen will ignore it, and it is estimated that Tiqi will not be half interested.

If it is dark fruit.

Galen promised that when he got it, he would hide it deeper than one piece.

After entering the auction house, Galen looked around carefully:

The seats inside are already full, and the crowd is bustling, very lively.

Among these people, in addition to some nobles and wealthy merchants who were dressed in luxurious clothes and jewels, there were also many strong men with calm breaths, cold eyes, and extraordinary skills at first sight.

Obviously, most of them are sea bandits attracted by the mysterious natural fruit.

Galen and Hancock, the two princes Shichibukai walked into the venue side by side at the same time, and they were immediately stared at by these people in surprise, fear, or vigilance.

However, Galen didn't pay attention to the hostile gazes of these strangers at all. Instead, his expression became relaxed after observing:

It seems that because the selling point of this scene is the natural fruit rather than some interesting playthings, those world nobles who are obtrusive to the eyes did not appear on the scene.

except galen

Therefore, Galen should have become the focus of the auctioneer's staff.

Not long after entering the gate, Galen and his party were greeted by a group of auction house workers with the humility of serving their grandfather, and escorted all the way to the front row of luxurious seats.

Although the auction house was already bustling with people, few people sat in the first three rows.

The few people sitting sporadically, Galen could tell at a glance that they were quite strong, obviously they were not small.

As for the first row of luxury seats that the staff let Galen and others sit in, it seemed that no one dared to step forward and touch them.

"Master Galen, please sit down!"

The staff bowed respectfully:

"These seats are reserved for honorable people like you!"

Galen understood immediately that these seats were reserved for the Celestial Dragons.

But Galen didn't have a trace of timidity in his heart, and he couldn't feel any sense of awe for those guys with fat stomachs and brains, so he sat in the middle seat without changing his face.

Nami, Weiwei, and Robin also sat down next to Galen one after another, while Hancock was still standing aside blankly, his eyes were as blank as a puppet:

She had been to this auction house before, but it was only on the stage rather than off the stage.

But Galen didn't have time to pay attention to Hancock's reaction, and Perona, who was holding him in his hand, started making noises restlessly again.

Although Galen repeatedly emphasized that he was not a murderer, Perona still couldn't get out of her psychological shadow, and wanted to run away from him relentlessly.

"Master Galen?"

The staff on the side came up in a timely manner, and asked empathetically:

"Your slave seems a little restless, do you need us to prepare a set of 'reins' for you?"

"Need not."

Galen dismissed the disturbing waiters casually, and showed a dangerous smile in front of Perona: "I will take care of her."

Perona instantly settled down a lot.

But her body kept trembling in fear, shrinking like a weak, helpless child who was over 21 years old.

Galen shook his head helplessly, so he had no choice but to lift Perona, who had been completely reduced to his hand pendant, and then sent her into Hancock's arms.

Hancock was stunned for a while, but subconsciously hugged Perona.

Hancock, who is wearing high heels, is close to two meters tall, while Perona is only over 1.5 meters today.

Coupled with the difference in stature, Hancock really seems to have taken over a child from Galen and hugged him.

"After all, this guy is also Rayleigh's 'granddaughter', so please take good care of her."

Galen ordered a few words, and then subconsciously used a comforting tone to Hancock who was in a trance:

"Hancock, sit down first."

"If you're afraid of something, hold Perona tighter."

"kindness?"

Hancock was taken aback for a moment, and unconsciously used Perona in his arms as a pillow to relieve pressure, and quietly increased his strength.

Under Hancock's own fierce strength and chest strength, Perona was almost hugged into a coma on the spot.

"Galen."

A hint of fear and madness suddenly appeared in Hancock's eyes.

She clenched her teeth and whispered in Galen's ear, "Did you already know about me?!"

"Forehead?"

Galen snorted softly pretending not to know.

"Don't play dumb!"

"You know that old Raleigh!"

"And every time I lose my composure, you give me that weird look!"

Hancock gritted his teeth and said, the strength in his hand couldn't help but increased a little bit.

"pain pain pain"

Perona said tearfully.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her.

Galen just continued to say something to Hancock in front of Perona that she didn't understand at all:

"What is a strange look, me"

Galen hesitated to speak.

He just feels sympathy and pity;

Galen brought Hancock by his side, besides learning to be domineering and eye-catching, he also wanted Hancock to travel the Chambords Islands with a completely different noble status, so that she could face her inner fear and get out of the long-lost The psychological shadow of the existence.

"what you up to?!"

Hancock pursed his lips tightly, and said in a grief-stricken tone:

"You want to break my dignity and make me recognize my identity."

"And then enslave me as you please?"

"Well"

"Why do you think so?"

Galen blushed, "I'm almost heartbroken."
