The Pirate Garen

Early the next morning.

Nami let out a long sigh of relief, and blurted out a bad line similar to Reiju's.

"Thanks a lot."

Galen comforted Nami softly, and turned his attention to the fruits of their labor that night:

Devil fruit, a devil fruit that can take up half a room when stacked.

No one in this world has ever seen such a spectacular sight.

Among these fruits, the most powerful thunder fruit and the fluttering fruit with the widest applicability are mostly, the number is as high as thousands, enough to equip an entire fleet.

There is also a small part, which is a copycat version of the dark fruit used for production work.

"Hahaha"

Galen didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Nami asked a little puzzled.

"So many dark fruits"

"Maybe Tiki will have a heart attack when he sees it?"

Galen smiled gloatingly, without the demeanor of a righteous knight in the past.

Nami didn't understand the grievances between Galen and Tiqi, she just followed Galen's eyes to look at the pile of dark fruits, feeling nauseated in her stomach.

She ate all she could eat last night, and she has already had a psychological shadow.

Reiju knew about the warm interaction between Galen and Tiki at the banquet yesterday, so she couldn't help asking:

"Galen?"

"Aren't you brothers with that Tiki? What?"

"They're just superficial brothers."

Galen said casually:

"That black fat man looks simple and honest, but behind his back, he is so bad that the soles of his feet are bleeding."

"Having two hearts broken by a red dog, you still don't want to live a peaceful life, and you still want to eat the dark fruit?"

Galen was slightly taken aback, as if he suddenly thought of something:

"etc."

"Since he doesn't give up when he sees the Red Earth Continent, then I will completely block his ambition!"

Reiju was already familiar with Galen's habits, as soon as she saw the smile on Galen's face, she knew that "good brother" Tiki might be in trouble again.

So, she tentatively asked:

"how?"

"Are you going to give him this fake dark fruit?"

"No."

"To block his ambition, we must completely cut off the possibility of him obtaining the dark fruit."

Galen shook his head, and took another dark fruit from the table that Nami took a small bite of:

It was completely cut in half, and although it had lost the effectiveness of the devil fruit, the outer kiwi skin looked intact.

"Reiju, Nami?"

Galen couldn't wait to ask: "Do we have another devil fruit here?"

"Another devil fruit?"

Both Reiju and Nami were puzzled.

"Really."

Galen added.

"There should be none on the airship."

The two replied in unison.

Although natural devil fruits are not rare for big shots, they still need to be collected deliberately.

"Nevermind."

Galen also expected this:

"Then I'll find another chance next time and give Brother Tiqi a 'gift'."

"Wait. Galen?"

Nami suddenly thought of something:

"When you left Punk Hazard, it seemed that you came back from the island with a devil fruit?"

"No one eats that fruit, it seems to have been placed on the airship all the time."

"oh?"

Galen's eyes lit up, and he also thought of the useless devil fruit:

"very good!"

"Call Luo over here, we have to wrap this 'gift' properly!"

After a long time, it was already the morning when the sun was shining brightly.

Whitebeard's fleet has been repaired here for a whole night, completely recovered from yesterday's fierce battle, and is ready to sail away.

As friends, Galen naturally boarded the ship to bid farewell to Whitebeard and the others.

"Galen."

Seeing Galen appear, "good brother" Tiqi's eyes turned red again.

He knew that the dark fruit he dreamed of was likely to be in Galen's hands.

Needless to say, Galen, who has been secretly stumbling him and pretending to go back to help him find the dark fruit, will definitely crush his dream with a light "I didn't find it".

"hateful."

Tiki clenched his teeth, and looked at Galen so angry that he almost spit fire.

In the anger that Tiqi could hardly suppress, Galen bid farewell to Whitebeard, Ace and others one by one, and finally walked in front of him again:

"Brother Titch."

Galen smiled broadly.

Just when the anger in Tiqi's heart was about to explode, Galen said:

"I went back to look for it yesterday, and I found a devil fruit on the warship."

"Look carefully, is it the dark fruit you want?"

As he spoke, Galen waved to Luo who was following him:

"Ro!"

"Take out that fruit."

"yes."

Luo endured the weird expression on his face and handed over a box, and lifted the lid of the box in front of Tiqi.

"What, what?"

Only then did Tichi realize what Galen had just told him:

"Really found it?"

Tichi stuttered suddenly with excitement, with an expression of disbelief all over his face.

That Galen, who was so stuck that he couldn't stand up, actually sent the dark fruit over in a normal way?

Tichi subconsciously felt that Galen was plotting against him, but when he looked at the devil fruit carefully, he had to believe:

The pineapple shape, lavender skin, and even the intricate and detailed patterns are exactly the same as in his impression.

That's right!

Really dark fruit!

Tiqi snatched the box from Luo without saying a word, held it in his palm as if he had found a treasure, and opened it back and forth for inspection.

No matter how you look at it, it is undoubtedly a dark fruit.

He held the devil fruit carefully, as if holding his fragile dream.

Then Tiki looked up at Galen nervously and asked:

"You really give it to me?"

"Of course!"

Galen laughed boldly:

"It's just a devil fruit, am I not willing to give it?"

"Besides, this is a gift prepared for you by the Saatchi brothers, so you can accept it with confidence!"

Galen behaved very boldly and straightforwardly, which attracted Ace and other captains to echo him.

The atmosphere was jubilant.

"Thanks!"

Tiki thanked Galen with tears in his eyes.

This didn't feel sincere, because he was always wary of Galen, for fear that Galen would set him up again.

But this fruit does seem to be a dark fruit, and Tiqi is still Whitebeard's good son, with his father and a group of brothers watching him, so it is impossible for Galen to poison this fruit.

So, in the spirit of long nights and many dreams.

Tiki picked up the "dark fruit" and brought it to his mouth without hesitation.

The corner of Galen's mouth suddenly became a little more smiling:

This "dark fruit" is naturally a fake.

Galen asked Luo to use the ability of the operation fruit to completely peel off the skin of a copycat version of the dark fruit, and then glued it to another devil fruit intact.

Luo's ability can even suture broken limbs with ease, let alone packaging a Devil Fruit with an OEM label, and the production is almost seamless.

And Tiqi, who has a bold temperament, obviously doesn't peel the fruit before eating it.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw the whole devil fruit into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

The special "fragrance" of the devil fruit fills the mouth, and a mysterious power resides in Tiqi's heart, and quickly spreads to the whole body

"Is this the power of the dark fruit?"

Tiqi was so excited that tears even flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He has already fantasized about repairing his heart, winning the Zhenzhen Fruit, becoming the new Four Emperors, and reporting to Galen.

kindness.

Ticky suddenly lost interest.

Because he suddenly realized that even if his dream came true, he might not be able to seek revenge from Galen.

And at this time, something happened that made him even more dispirited, even shocked and desperate:

Tiqi only felt the energy of the devil fruit in his body agitated, causing drastic changes in his flesh, bones, hair, and even every corner of his body.

"What?"

In Tiqi's exclamation, his skin turned into hard fish scales, his legs turned into snake tails, his hands and feet transformed into eagle claws, and two antlers grew between his forehead.

"dragon?"

"How did Brother Tiqi turn into a dragon!"

The brothers shouted in surprise and inexplicably.

Tiqi transformed from a fat black man more than three meters tall into a four-clawed dragon about ten meters long.

It's just that this dragon doesn't look mighty at all, but it's pink all over, with big eyes and wide mouth, like an immature baby dragon.

"."

Tikki was completely dumbfounded.

"how so?"

Galen cried out in "horror":

"Isn't this the dark fruit?"

Of course, this is not the dark fruit, but the artificial dragon fruit that Galen brought back from Punk Hazard.

This fruit is a failure left by Vegapunk. It was eaten by a little bastard in the original book, and it has not shown any usefulness.

It's just right to use it to trick people.

And Galen’s words also provide everyone with a way of thinking:

"Too."

"Some devil fruits do look alike, but the patterns are a little different."

"Brother Tiqi is too impatient and ate the wrong devil fruit?"

Ace and the others speculated.

"I"

Tiki was about to cry when he heard that.

His mind was at a loss, and he couldn't say a word.

The heart is broken, and there may be a chance to heal it.

The dark fruit was eaten by others. Although the chance of success is small, he can still kill the capable person and wait for the fruit to be reborn.

However, if he has already eaten another devil fruit.

Then his dream will be completely shattered!

Tiqi's dragon's head tilted, and the whole dragon fell on the deck in a daze, like a dried salted octopus.
