Chapter 100: The Truth (2)
"Devil Fruits?" Several people repeated Ley's words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"That's right."
Cesar wondered, "So, what kind of Devil Fruit ability can fight so many rebel armies and still win?" β
Ley: "This...... I don't know the specifics. β
Usopp: "You just said that you can't resist, why don't you leave this island?" β
Ley: "If you leave, it's even more impossible. Gretel stipulated that if anyone wanted to go to the island, they had to pay 10 million Bailey's relocation fee, or they would have to live on the island until they died. β
Nami: "10 million Bailey? This...... That's too overbearing, isn't it? β
Ley continued: "On this island, the commoners are only allowed and not allowed to leave, and once you are on the island, you will become a citizen of the [Food Country], and you will be subject to the king's control. β
Utanka sneered: "So, we are now also a citizen of His Majesty's King?" There are five of us, and if we want to go down to the island, we have to give him 50 million Bailey, right? β
Ley's face was a little embarrassed: "Theoretically, that's what it looks like." β
Usopp was in a cold sweat and ran down his neck: "Are we going to starve every day?" β
Ley frowned, "Kids, you're pirates, aren't you?" β
Cesar: "That's right. β
Ley: "It's a pitfall, there were a lot of pirates who came to this island, no matter how famous and powerful he used to be, and now, all of them are living miserable lives. β
Usopp: "Can no one beat the king?" β
Ley shook his head: "No..... Alone. β
Cesar then asked, "Well, if the price of food is so high that people can't afford it, won't many people starve to death?" β
Ley: "Many people do not hesitate to use cattle and horses for those nobles and powerful people for a bite to eat, and they even give all their physical strength and even their children, just to get a bowl of boiled white porridge, or a mouthful of raw rice balls. β
Nami's face was full of shock.
I can't imagine that this island full of food has such a dark side.
Next, Ley uttered even more jaw-dropping words.
There are many slaves who work day and night for food, they are either starving to death or dying of exhaustion, and every time these horrible factories disappear and a large number of people disappear, these upper echelons will go to other islands to gather more people who work day and night for food, repeating the tragic fate.
At this time, no one noticed that after hearing these words, one person's face had turned iron...
Long Yan's fist slammed on the table, resounding throughout the room, and he stood up and said, "That one called Gretel is in the palace, right?" β
"What are you going to do?"
"Beat him up!" Long Yan clenched his fists and said.
Ley was helpless: "Don't be naΓ―ve, child. β
"Huh?"
"You can't be his opponent at all."
Cesar: "Auntie, you underestimate our captain, he's very strong. β
Ley: "It's not that I'm beating your pride, I've seen Gretel's open mouth eat more than 100 troops!" β
Usopp couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat on his face: "He... Eat them all? β
"That's right." Ley said lightly.
Cannibalism?! Usopp and Nami were terrified.
According to Ley's description, Long Yan thought carefully about the ability of this Devil Fruit, and the first thing he thought of was the Superhuman Devouring Fruit.
However, he overturned his idea in the first place.
Because, in the original book, the guy who will use this fruit ability is called Valpo, the king of the Magnetic Drum Country and the Brikik Pirates, and it is unlikely that he will appear here. Moreover, judging from the description, Valpo does not have such strength and courage, you must know that he will be scared to abandon the country and flee if a pirate invades him in the original book.
So, if it weren't for him, who would it be?
Long Yan couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.
At this time, he who was familiar with anime understood that this island was not mentioned at all in the original book, and this island was relatively closed from the perspective of geographical location, and there were not many people who knew about his existence.
Then there is only one possibility, this person on the island is an unknown strong enemy, and the fruit ability is unknown.
But, that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?
A pair of little brothers and sisters who were rescued by Long Yan just now, the boy is named Hanks, who is six years old this year; The girl's name is Jenny and she is five years old.
Jenny flashed a pair of big watery eyes and looked at Long Yan: "Big brother, don't go, I also heard that the king is very powerful." β
Long Yan touched her head: "Don't worry, my brother is better than him... More powerful. β
Ley finally couldn't hold back his emotions: "Don't you understand? His strength I have told you very clearly, are you going to die in vain? Moreover, the Protector General under Gretel's command is a powerful swordsman, and he is not something that a few of you imps can deal with at all! β
"Jianhao?!" Hearing the word "Jianhao", Utanka's spirit was shocked.
"If we don't go, will we be slaughtered here?" Cesar said earnestly, "If I were to choose a life like that that that is not as good as a dog, I would rather die in battle!" β
Hearing this, Ley sighed heavily: "Okay, I understand, you have made up your mind, then I can only pray for you." β
"Big brother, take care." Jenny's cute little face looked up at Long Yan.
Long Yan touched her head: "Don't worry, if my brother defeats that guy, he will invite you to a big meal, a big meal with all kinds of delicious food." β
Jenny's eyes flashed: "Really? β
"If you don't believe me, we'll pull the hook."
Jenny's brother Hanks was a little shy, he stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Long Yan's clothes, "Big brother, can you promise me one thing?" β
Long Yan: "What? β
Hanks: "There was a very beautiful cook sister in the palace, and she would often secretly give us some food, for which she was punished by the king many times. β
Long Yan scratched his head: "Beautiful sister? β
Ley walked over: "The man Hanks is talking about is called Poetic Curty. β
Next, Ley introduced them to the female chef.
Shi Curti, who was seventeen years old at the time, was the female chef that Cesar and Long Yan noticed earlier. She learned cooking with her father since she was a child and loves to cook. When she was eleven years old, her father died tragically, and he became an orphan.
Tenacious by nature and not overwhelmed by grief, she won the National Culinary Contest at the age of twelve, and was selected for the Royal Restaurant...
