Chapter Twenty-Six: Devil Fruits

"What's going on?" Karp looked at the refugees who had just been rescued on the boat with a serious face, most of them were children, women and the elderly, and there was only one adult man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lord Navy, I, we've run into pirates."

One of the only adult men among the refugees said with some shock.

"The Crocker Pirates?"

Di Lu asked, some of these refugees had blood on their bodies, obviously they were not let go by the pirates, and there should be a majority of adult men on a ship, judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to guess that the adult men on the ship should have resisted the pirates, so as to create a chance for these women and children to escape. The Nine Snake Pirates are mainly female, and judging from Hancock's appearance, the men on the ship will not resist, and the chance of seeing blood is low, so Dilu can only guess that it was Crocodle, but the only doubt is that Klokdal's strength can not stop an escape ship?

"No, it's not, it's the Cheetah Pirates, and their captain says he's the captain of the fifth squad."

"Cheetah?"

Di Lu recalled the information he saw from Karp, but he was a little vague, at that time, he only saw the Nine Snake Pirates and the Crocker Pirates, and the other pirates were automatically filtered by Di Lu.

"The Cheetah Pirates are a large pirate group in the waters between Gaya Island and Shengting Island, the captain is the pirate 'Cheetah' Yukir, the ability of the feline family 'Black Panther Fruit', with a bounty of 80 million Baileys, in addition to the main ship Seal, there are seven pirate ships under its command, each ship has a captain, and the bounty is between 30 million and 40 million Baileys, and the whole team is about 500 people."

Seeing Dilu's meditative appearance, Kalifa, as a top student, fully embodied her memory.

Remembering is a necessary skill for a top student, and Di Lu is not surprised.

The bounty of 80 million Bailey is already considered a pirate in the first half of the great voyage, of course, this bounty is estimated to be related to the size of the pirate group, after all, there are 500 people, and a small town can be leveled, plus Yukir's character is very brutal, and the robbery never leaves a living mouth, in terms of harmfulness, the price of this bounty is not exaggerated.

"You don't look like a merchant ship, so why would the pirates be interested in you?" Karp was puzzled, looking at the dress of this group of people, they did not look like merchants or their families, in terms of temperament and image, they were closer to civilians, they usually took ordinary civilian transport ships, most of these transport ships were civilians at sea, there was no oil and water, they all took the 'official road' with naval patrols, and generally there was nothing to attract pirates, only merchant ships were their objects of plunder at sea.

The most important point is that most of the pirates who wander in a certain sea area will have several island towns or coastal towns of a certain country as strongholds and sources of income, and they mainly raid these places, and the battles at sea are mostly turf battles between pirates, not for plundering.

"It's all because of her!"

Perhaps Karp's question stimulated a certain nerve, and the man suddenly stopped stammering, and pointed to the lonely girl who had been hiding aside since he came up from the quilt without speaking.

"Yes, that's her!"

"She's a demon hated by the sea!"

"She is the one who brings us bad luck!"

The man's words lit a powder keg, and the refugees all pointed at the taciturn girl, cursing and complaining, as if she had brought all this disaster to her.

In the face of the vicious words and disgusted eyes of the crowd, the girl just sat there silently, her hands wrapped around her curled legs, and her whole head buried between her legs.

"What the hell is going on?"

Di Lu was a little angry, what the hell did this girl do to make so many people so ruthlessly accuse her, disgust her, and even curse her.

"Lord Navy, here's how it ......"

Although Di Lunian was young, the captain's naval uniform did not lie, and the only remaining adult man did not dare to underestimate it, so he told the whole thing in its ins and outs, although there were many personal subjective colors mixed in it, but everyone still understood what was going on.

They were originally residents of Willik Island, Willik Island is just a small island, although it belongs to Alabastan, but it lives a self-sufficient life, there are not many inhabitants on the island, there are about thirty families, more than a hundred people, although some are poor and backward, but this also makes the pirates not interested in this poor island, it is a relatively stable island town.

The cause of the matter was because of a fruit. A fruit that resembles a mango in shape was discovered and brought to the town by a villager in the town, and the whole town gathered around to see the strange fruit, marveling at the magical colleagues of the creator, who did not know that the fruit would bring them great calamity.

The news that the town of Wilk found a very rare fruit did not know who spread it, and the next day, the captain of the fifth squad of the Cheetah Pirates, 'Bloodthirsty Bross', came to this town, maybe the villagers didn't know, but as a pirate mixed in the great voyage, Bross knew that this strange fruit was likely to be a secret treasure - the Devil Fruit, which made him excited, as a pirate with a bounty of 40 million, if he ate the Devil Fruit and became an ability, his strength would definitely be able to go to the next level, Maybe you can become the vice captain of the Pirates in one leap, and then you can enjoy the happiness at the base instead of running around the sea all day like your grandson.

Came to this inconspicuous island with excitement, just to intimidate, so that these villagers peed their pants, and went to take out the fruit very familiarly, but at this time there was an accident, the devil fruit was eaten! It is a little girl named Shanti, usually favorite fruit is mango, when I saw my father take back a big 'mango', I was moved, although it looked weird, but she really hadn't eaten such a big 'mango', so she took advantage of the time when others were not paying attention, secretly took a big bite, swallowed it like a date......

When the fruit was brought up, Bross looked at the gums on the fruit and suddenly became angry, who doesn't know, the devil fruit can only be obtained by the first person who bites it, is it playing with him to take this bitten fruit? Since Bulos is called bloodthirsty, he must be very ruthless, and he ordered the village to be slaughtered on the spot, and the villagers panicked, but the village chief was still a brave man, and decisively organized some young men to resist, and the other part fled with the women and children who had no combat effectiveness in the village on the only transport boat, and as the culprit's father, Shanti's father became one of the people who stayed on the island, delaying their departure.

Of course, how can the dilapidated transport ship be compared to the pirate ship, after slaughtering the island, Bros quickly caught up with the transport ship, and then abandoned the guards, some of them stayed behind, and the other part fled, the people who escaped did not want to take the culprit with them, but Shanti's mother desperately stuffed her into the ship, and then turned around and went to fight with the pirates......

The next thing that happened was to meet Karp's warship, and then the group was brought up.

"Alas~" Di Lu sighed, he understood that it was all the devil fruit to blame.

Although Shanti's gluttony led to this tragedy, she can't put all the blame on a little girl because she can't take revenge, if nothing else, even if Bross gets the Devil Fruit. No one can guarantee that this 'bloodthirsty Bross' will still slaughter the village because of secrecy?

So Di Lu walked up to the girl, who had lost her parents and was condemned by everyone, squatted down and stroked her pale yellow hair, and asked in the softest voice possible:

"Your name is Shanti?"
