The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

Pier 3,

Workers were constantly moving boxes off the Pinta, while Weeks, a businessman wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood aside with a list in hand and quietly counted the quantities.

Originally, a 'big shot' like him didn't have to do it himself, it was enough to just send one of his subordinates.But today he had to discuss cooperation with the two brothers by himself.

"Mr. Wesker, we already understand your situation."

Next to Wesker stood a tall man with bulging muscles.

The man was also wearing a black suit, sunglasses and a cropped haircut. He looked a bit like a governor in Rossi's previous life.

Judging from his appearance, this man should be from the same group as the previous 'professionals'.But on the metal buckle of his belt, the low-key '66' metal pattern shows his identity.

People from Germa 66 Security Company!

That's right, not only Blackwater Security Company, but also many 'security' companies in Beihai are actually subsidiaries of this mysterious organization.

After receiving the report from the D-class personnel, Blackwater Security specially dispatched a B-class personnel who retired from Germa 66 to restore the guests' evaluation of them.

Due to his injuries, the combat effectiveness of this man named '8674' is no longer as good as before, but this soldier, who is said to have fought in the New World, is considered a real elite in the world!

"I will evaluate the opponent's strength and give an appropriate response plan..."

The serious attitude of the man named '8674' makes people feel very safe.

"No, there is no need to deal with them, just ensure my safety."

But Wesker, who had a very high opinion of Rossi in his heart, shook his head. In this chaotic age of navigation, it is not easy to meet a rational transaction partner.

The businessman believes that as long as the brothers survive, they will definitely achieve great success in the future.

The 'investment' now may turn into huge returns in the future——

Boom! !

At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from the distance.

The black suit next to him had immediately blocked Wesker's body. He looked at the place where the explosion came from with his sunglasses: between the two buildings at the junction of the garbage disposal area and the dock, there were flames and black smoke rising. .

Black smoke rose more than ten meters high, even forming the shape of a mushroom cloud.The powerful black suit could even see the remains of the house being thrown away, disintegrating and decomposing in the air, and then falling in a clatter.

At the same time, countless sparks sprayed out in all directions in the explosion, like a volcano erupting, and the golden flames erupted in the process of falling, making them dazzling.

When these flames fell around, they began to burn violently, making the black suit frown.

"Someone used a powder keg?"

As a qualified businessman, Wesker could tell at a glance that the scale of the explosion would require at least several barrels of ordinary gunpowder.

Of course, if it were replaced by the special explosives of the Grand Line, this large quantity would not be needed.

"No, it's not like an explosion caused by dynamite."

The man in sunglasses who looked somewhat similar to the 'Governor' observed it for a few seconds before shaking his head and rejecting Wesker's judgment.

"The scale of the explosion's flames was too large, far exceeding the destructive performance of the shock wave, and those flames were not normal, and were more likely to be caused by splashing burning materials..."

"My judgment is that some kind of flammable and explosive substance was suddenly detonated."

Although this sentence sounded a bit strange, Wesker, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, nodded in understanding.

Explosives are not the only things in this world that can explode. Many things can cause flames and shock waves...but this should have nothing to do with him being an 'ordinary' businessman.

···

However, a few minutes later, Wesker realized that he was wrong.

This explosion may be 'related' to him.

"Mr. Rocinante, what are you two...?"

"Haha, it's okay."

"I just met a few gangsters."

Roman, who appeared at Pier 3, patted his sportswear that looked like a beggar's outfit. The burnt holes in it were still smoking.

"Humph, these guys don't know how to live or die!"

Dover, who was also smoky next to him, snorted coldly, followed by anger and murderous intent, causing the surrounding workers to subconsciously avoid the two of them.

Well, it turns out that the explosion just now was related to these two people.

"Mr. Wesker,"

After Rossi and Dover got on the boat first, the 'Governor', a man in sunglasses and a suit from Germa 66, whispered in the businessman's ear.

"I do not propose to have a conflict with these two gentlemen..."

"I see,"

Wesker pushed up his glasses and looked back at the direction of the burning explosion in the town.

It seems that these two are more dangerous than they realize!

And powerful.

----

"Cough cough,"

"Everyone...are you okay?"

Next to the explosion site, which was filled with flames, three pitch-black figures were staggering forward, supporting a thin figure.

"I said...I said..."

"Why...that guy would know..."

The skinny figure whose whole body was almost charred opened his mouth and spat out a stream of green smoke. From his "I say, I say" habit of speaking, we could tell that this 'coke' was the 'fat man' wearing a blue coat and holding a cane. 'upstart.

Torrepol!

He is a person with the ability of 'Superman and Sticky Fruit'. He usually wraps himself in the slime created by his ability, and fakes the image of a 'fat man'.

These slimes can defend against low-intensity attacks. When faced with high-intensity attacks, they can also dodge like a 'natural type', ignoring the attacks. In the future, even the three-color domineering Luffy was frightened.

However, in the eyes of Rossi, who knew the details, Torebol was the weakest of the four.

It can even be said that he is a typical 'pig teammate'.

His slime is very afraid of fire!

Once it encounters an open flame, it will immediately ignite and explode.

As we all know, dogs will not eat Shao Shao fruit!

Ahem, mainly things like flames, not to mention 'Fire Fist Gun', 'Fox Fire Knife', 'Devil Wind Leg'...

Even the Creek Pirates and Team Leader 'Iron Wall: Balu' who cut down fifty ships in the East China Sea for fun after dinner by Hawkeye in the future can produce flames out of thin air.

And Kabaji, one of the "three big posters" under the Clown King Bucky, can also breathe fire...

Even ordinary people are no stranger to the use of flames.

Rossi took advantage of this. During the battle, he directly took out a lighter and threw it at Torebol, who was caught off guard. In an instant, he blew up the leader of the "Four Colors Family" whose strength was not inferior to the two of them.

This is the limitation of Devil Fruit's ability: once someone knows the details of the ability, they can deal with it in a targeted manner.

"Ahem, now is not the time to think about... why the other party knows your abilities,"

The second-in-command of the family, Diamanti, wielded a Western sword. He was closest to Torebol and was the most severely affected.

Torrebol, who was shocked by his own abilities, was carried by Pika, who was only 10 years old and over two meters tall.

"Virgo, go find Dr. Batty."

Although they call themselves the "Four Colors Family", in the final analysis they are just gangsters. They cannot go to the hospital openly and can only seek help from doctors who are willing to make extra money.

"Yes,"

The steady Vergo nodded, with a dagger still stuck to his cheek, and left in a hurry.

----

On the Pingta,

"Regarding the repair cost of the ship, it will be deducted from the profit of the ore..."

After carefully looking through the list prepared by Swick, Rossi handed it to Dover.

At the front of the ship, in the navigator's room, two children were talking seriously with a businessman wearing gold-rimmed glasses.The scene seemed a bit funny, but the people involved took it seriously.

"Also, we need to purchase a batch of guns, gunpowder, lead bullets, dried meat, and rum-"

Because the ship's 'previous' captain planted explosives in the captain's cabin, the Pinta had to undergo a repair.This expense will naturally be borne by Rossi and Dover.

Just the consumption of Dover and Rossi, the inferior version of the 'Explosive Rock' on the ship and the supplies left behind were enough for them to use for a period of time.

However, considering that manpower will be recruited in the future, material reserves are also necessary.

Not everyone can go to sea with just a wooden barrel, and there are noble people everywhere to help with food, clothing, housing and transportation.At least Rossi didn't think he was so lucky to be able to pick up a bunch of SRR characters at the beginning.

"Then these things will trouble Mr. Wesker."

After discussing these chores, Wesker stood up to leave. After a few pleasantries with the other party, Rossi returned to the cabin and saw a frowning Dover.

"What are you thinking about?"

"The plan is going very smoothly. The next step is to recruit people and build up power——"

"Rosie,"

Dover, who was thinking hard, raised his head and looked directly at his brother.

"you've changed."

···

"People change. You used to like all kinds of barbecue, but now..."

"do not talk!"

Dover's face was extremely ugly as he covered his mouth, but his frown relaxed a little.

As Rossi said, he loved barbecue when he was a kid.

But now:

After almost being made into a 'barbecue jerk' by a crazy civilian, Dover has developed a very disgusting psychological reaction to barbecue!

"I just... I just think you have changed too much during this time..."

If you were an ordinary child, you might not think much about your brother who suddenly became 'reliable'.

But Dover is different. His experiences in the past few years have made him very precocious.Therefore, regarding Rossi's changes, he always had a complex emotion of confusion and a hint of fear.

"Don't think about it, Dover."

Walking over and patting the little boy in sunglasses on the shoulder, Rossi sighed.

Although he often complains that the Silence Fruit is rubbish, if Dover hadn't given him this Devil Fruit, Rossi might have become a time traveler who would starve to death again as soon as he came to this world.

Later, when he stole the food, if Dover hadn't reacted quickly, Rosie would have been chopped to death by the head chef.

and so--

"We are brothers, I won't harm you."

"Let us work together to turn this world upside down!"
