The Pirate Garen

Chapter 358 Devil Fruit That Recruits Thieves

Smoker's opponent is indeed an unknown pirate group in the New World.

but

He failed to fight.

Smoker, who barely rose to the rank of general, could only climb to the bottom of the food chain in the new world.

And the "unknown pirate group" in the new world actually has the strength of a bounty of over 100 million, and they are 100% daunting big pirates in the first half of the great channel.

After a fierce battle, the navy soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, and were eventually captured collectively.

Even Smoker and Dashiqi failed to escape the fate of being captured.

Smoker's body was pressed against his own sea-roof, weak and weak, and tightly bound by ropes.

Forced to kneel beside him, there are Da Siqi, the old village chief, naval soldiers and all the villagers.

For Smoker, this scene is very familiar.

Smoker's face was very gloomy, and he could only softly ask Da Siqi beside him:

"Da Siqi, did you call for help?"

"It's gone."

Dashiqi replied without thinking.

"but."

Da Siqi's expression was a bit perplexed:

"The headquarters heard that we are near the Whitebeard's territory, so let us think of a way first."

"Headquarters?"

Smoker was slightly taken aback.

Not only did his complexion not improve, but it turned even darker:

"What did you say?"

"I asked you to call for rescue, so you called the Navy Headquarters?"

"yes."

Da Siqi nodded innocently.

Smoker's voice became a little trembling:

"What about Galen?"

"that."

The expression on Da Siqi's face became a little embarrassed:

"I was caught by mistake just after talking with the headquarters, and I didn't have time to call."

Smoker's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help yelling at Da Siqi:

"We are thousands of miles away from the Navy headquarters, and you actually called the headquarters for help at the first time?"

"Major General Smoker"

"Didn't you say you wanted to ask the headquarters for help last time?"

Dashiqi said with aggrieved face.

"."

Smoker was completely speechless.

At this time, the leader of the group of pirates strode up to the crowd.

He has a body like a tiger and a bear, with a fleshy face, and has the standard bad pirate appearance.

However, the pirate leader did not come to embarrass Smoker, but instead approached the old village chief immediately:

"Old man!"

"I heard that some treasures have been discovered in your village recently?"

"Tell me, where is that thing?"

"."

The old village chief pursed his lips tightly and held back for a long time without answering.

"Asshole!"

The pirate leader picked up the old village chief from the ground impatiently, and cursed viciously:

"I even dare to break into the island with the white beard flag, do you think I dare not kill people?"

"If you don't hand over the things, you will all die!"

"Well"

The old village chief's face changed for a while, and he finally succumbed to the pirates:

"That thing is in the second house at the head of the village, hidden under the bed in my bedroom."

"Go get it yourself!"

"Hahaha good!"

The pirate leader laughed wildly.

He casually threw the old village chief back to the ground, and said excitedly to a cadre beside him:

"Go find it!"

"Bring me something back!"

The cadre left in a hurry with a few younger brothers, while the pirate leader stared vigilantly at Smoker and the captured navy, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It was quiet here for the time being, and Smoker and Da Siqi turned their heads to look at the old village head at the same time:

"Village Chief, what are you hiding?"

"How did you attract all the pirates?"

"well"

The old village chief sighed deeply: "It's a devil fruit."

Devil fruit, a popular hard currency in the sea.

In this new world where power is king, devil fruits are even more sought-after items favored by all major forces.

Any devil fruit with unknown attributes can be sold for a sky-high price of 100 million Baileys.

And those devil fruits included in the devil fruit illustrated book have different prices according to their different abilities and performances.

Powerful devil fruits can easily be sold for more than 500 million Baileys, and some rare abilities are even priceless, and they can't be bought even if they want to.

A devil fruit is indeed a treasure that is easy to attract thieves.

"Devil Fruit?"

Both Smoker and Dashiqi understood the value of this treasure.

And Da Siqi was a little puzzled and asked:

"Why do you keep this thing?"

"Isn't it good to take it out early and sell it, or eat it yourself?"

"this."

The old village head also had a little regret on his face, but he calmed down in the end:

"The young people in the village yearning for adventure have already gone to sea, and the rest are people who want to live a peaceful life. No one wants to eat devil fruit."

"And we can live such a peaceful life, isn't it because of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"This village has received too much kindness from Whitebeard in vain before, and everyone has always wanted to repay it."

"So after discovering this devil fruit, everyone agreed to give it to the Whitebeard Pirates as a gift, and it was temporarily kept."

"."

The expressions of Smoker and Dashiqi became a little strange.

They really appreciate the simple virtue of the villagers who know how to repay their kindness, but it is always difficult for them to accept who they want to repay.

"well"

The old village chief said with deep emotion:

"Looking at the current situation, the news has already leaked out."

"The people of the Whitebeard Pirates did not wait, and the disaster came first."

Before the three of them spoke for a long time, the cadre who went to search for the treasure brought back a small wooden box:

"Captain, we found it!"

"good!"

The pirate leader opened the box excitedly, and took out the devil fruit hidden inside to play with carefully:

This devil fruit is lavender throughout, covered with snail spiral patterns, and shaped like a pineapple.

Smoker's gaze shrank suddenly.

"this"

"This is the dark fruit of nature?!"

Stormy waves suddenly set off in Smoker's heart.

Out of curiosity, Smoker once read the devil fruit illustrated book.

Although he doesn't have the ability of photographic memory, he can remember the appearance of this dark fruit.

The reason is very simple. There are not many devil fruits recorded in the illustrated book, and the devil fruits recorded in the natural column are even more pitiful.

"Dark fruit?"

The old village chief didn't quite understand.

The Devil Fruit Illustrated Book is a very precious book, and poor people don't have much spare money to buy it and read it for entertainment.

"In short"

Smoker didn't lie to the old village head either, explaining in very common words:

"This is a very powerful fruit. If you exchange it for money, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for more than 500 million Pele."

"500 million Berries?"

The old village chief was taken aback.

And the pirate leader is obviously also a person who knows the goods.

He looked at it carefully, then held this dark fruit in his palm as if he had found a treasure, and laughed wildly again:

"Ha ha ha ha."

"This time I made a fortune!"

"This business is worth it!"

He ran here to rob at the risk of offending Whitebeard in order to get rich overnight.

But now that he has grabbed a natural fruit, his goal can be regarded as overfulfilled.

"very good!"

The pirate leader smiled from ear to ear, and pretended to be proud and said:

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't embarrass you fishermen!"

Then, he waved to his subordinates:

"Let these guys go!"

Hearing the boss's words, all the pirates withdrew their blades in front of the villagers and let them go free.

But the villagers did not leave directly after they were temporarily safe. Instead, they all cast their worried eyes on Smoker and the other navy.

"how?"

The pirate leader suddenly became a little unhappy:

"I let you go, you are still not willing?"

"grown ups?"

The old village chief swallowed, and cautiously asked the pirate leader: "These navies."

"Old man, don't meddle in your own business!"

The pirate leader shouted coldly:

"It is the greatest kindness for me to let you go."

"How to deal with these navies, it's not your turn to intervene!"

"But."

The old village chief was still a little reluctant, and none of the villagers wanted to escape alone.

Knowing how to repay kindness is the belief that these simple fishermen have always adhered to.

Smoker and Dashiqi traveled thousands of miles to send back the lost children, and fought against pirates to protect them. How could they bear to leave the navy behind?

"Still refusing to leave?"

The face of the pirate leader was completely cold.

He showed the blade in his hand, sneered at the villagers and said:

"Let me tell you the truth!"

"I'm worried that the bounty won't go up, and I just want to use the heads of these navy men to fuel my momentum."

"If you want to be buried with them, just stay here!"

The villagers were startled by the murderous intent of the pirate leader, and all shrank their heads.

But in the end, they hesitated to leave.

"Everyone go!"

Smoker clenched his fists and shouted again:

"Protecting the people is the duty of the Navy!"

"Even if you die because of this, there is nothing worth heartbroken!"
