Chapter 20: The Strange Apple

The battle went well, and the NEO Navy did not lose anything at all, except for the consumption of some shells. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For such a result, the crowd of the NEO Navy was very satisfied.

However, just as they were sending out small boats to salvage the loot, they discovered something strange.

When the soldiers of the NEO Navy placed one of the metal boxes containing a large number of strange apples in front of Shunan and Zefa and opened it, Shunan was stunned.

Of course, it would not be possible to attract the attention of so many people if it were just ordinary apples, but these red apples in front of me have a lot of circular patterns on them.

Zefa and the others thought they were Devil Fruits at first sight, but when they saw that the big box was full of such apples, they instantly felt that they were a little ridiculous.

If these chests are full of Devil Fruits, how strong will the Don Quixote family be?!

And how is it possible to send only these people to escort?

However, just as they dispelled this idea, Shunan took out an intact apple from most of the apples that had been damaged by the shockwave, and put it in his hand to look closely.

Although there is a slight difference in appearance and color, such a fruit Shunan is familiar.

Isn't this similar to the Devil Fruit that I brought out of Punk Hasad Island?!

"I've seen things like this, but they're a little different from these. With an excited face, Shunan told Zefa about the animal-based devil fruit he had obtained before.

However, Shunan didn't dare to imagine that the fruits in this box were all the same as the ones he had encountered before, all of which were devil fruits.

"You're saying these could be Devil Fruits?" Zefa looked surprised, if he had been involved in naval affairs, he might have been able to learn that Dr. Vegapunk had tried to create artificial Devil Fruits.

But at that time, Zefa had already retreated into the background, so he didn't know anything about it.

"I can't be sure, but these are all exactly the same patterns that make people have to wonder. "It's as puzzling as the dragon fruit that Shunan saw before that it was placed in a sophisticated instrument, and these apples are no different at all except for a little subtlety.

"Anyway, let's take these things back first. Maybe Holder knows a little bit about that. Shunan said.

There was no way those scientists in the Navy could have made artificial Devil Fruits for pirates, so it was obvious that these things were made by someone else.

So Shunan is going to bring these things back to the scientists in the NEO Navy, maybe those who have worked with Dr. Vegapunk will know something.

Having obtained these suspicious apples, the NEO Navy turned to prepare to return to the island of Sassaria.

......

Royal Palace of Dressrosa a few days later.

Doflamingo, who was lying on a chair and basking in the sun leisurely, was stunned after answering a phone bug.

"Hey, clown, didn't you say that the artificial Devil Fruit had already been delivered?" an angry tone came from the phone bug.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting?

"Jack, I've indeed sent someone to deliver the goods, but it's still a few days before I get out on the road, and isn't it not yet the deadline?" replied Doflamingo.

He was naturally clear about this matter, and he attached great importance to the deal with the Hundred Beast Pirates.

So Doflamingo was very helpless about Jack's use of phone bugs to urge him now, how could he ensure that the arrival time of the goods would be fixed in the new world.

He had spoken to Rao the other day, and knew that they had been delayed for some time due to the weather, but they were indeed able to meet the deadline, so Doflamingo was not in a hurry.

But Jack was in a hurry, he didn't want to delay this matter too long.

"Fart, do you know how precious Lao Tzu's time is? Hurry up and tell your people, Lao Tzu will see the goods by tomorrow. Jack didn't care about Doflamingo's reasoning, and yelled.

Doflamingo was also speechless for this man whose brain was full of muscles, but this was the characteristic of the Hundred Beast Pirates.

In desperation, Doflamingo could only calm Jack's emotions, and then took out a phone bug that could contact Rao.

But what happened next made his eyes widen behind his sunglasses.

No matter how long he waited, he didn't wait for someone to answer, which gave Doflamingo a bad feeling.

After discovering that Rao could not be contacted, Doflamingo broke out in a cold sweat.

Whether it's something wrong with his family or angering the Beast Pirates, it's not something Doflamingo can afford.

However, Doflamingo was relieved to find out about the loss of Rao's cargo early on.

If the Hundred Beast Pirates didn't receive the goods in the end, it would be difficult to explain, and it is estimated that the first unlucky one to be the Don Quixote family at that time will be.

So Doflamingo decisively took out the artificial devil fruit that was originally intended for the others and let Buffalo fly all the way to the island where Jack was, this time he didn't dare to be careless and sent Diamanti, the top cadre of the Cube Army.

When he had done all this, Doflamingo sat back in his chair with a gloomy expression.

Not to mention how to face Jack's anger tomorrow, the news of the loss of news from his family also made Doflamingo extremely angry.

"I'm going to find out what happened to Rao by to-morrow! Otherwise, you wouldn't have to live, understand?" said Doflamingo with a smirk of rage to his trembling men standing beside him.

"Yes, yes! Hearing Doflamingo's order, the men ran out of the house.

For a while, the originally lively royal palace fell into a state of tranquility.

"Who the hell is it......" Doflamingo muttered to himself as he lay in his chair.

It's no secret that the Don Quixote family has a close relationship with the Beast Pirates, and it's no secret to the people of the New World.

No one dared to beat the idea of the Don Quixote family when it was transported.

Especially when you know that the ships heading in this direction are all ready to transport goods to the Hundred Beast Pirates.

These ordinary pirates can't even be provoked by the Don Quixote family, let alone the Four Emperors Pirates at the apex of King's Landing New World.

That's why Doflamingo was relieved to let Rao and Deringer deliver the goods, but every time the smooth sailing also made Doflamingo a little careless, but he didn't expect something to go wrong this time.

Doflamingo didn't care about the massive amount of artificial Devil Fruit that he had lost, after all, he could still produce it again.

But once something goes wrong with the family, it's not a trivial matter, these cadres are like family to Doflamingo, and they won't just let them die in vain.
