Chapter 8: The Protagonist Group

“……”

At this time, Heiko was like a clay sculpture and wood carving, numb and speechless for a long time.

He swore that if the hateful fat old man in front of him was not a Devil Fruit ability, he would definitely take out his gun on the spot and destroy the head of this bastard who was playing with him.

"That's probably the identity, as for why you asked the old man to come to you......"

Lao Gan didn't pay attention to Heiko's ups and downs of his mental journey at all, and after a moment of silence, he said to himself, "The main thing is to see with your own eyes whether the young master's chosen partner is still in the past." ”

"You guy is still quite interesting, greedy for life and afraid of death, not enterprising, only has wine and meat and women in his head, but he is not stupid to the point of being at home, he can clear the current affairs, and there are fetters that cannot be let go, which can be used as a handle to grasp our hands."

Lao Gan looked at Heiko when he said this, and said with a smile, "All in all, the young master's vision is still as accurate and spicy as ever, and there will be several naval colonels who will serve in various branches during this time, and you are indeed the most suitable one." ”

"I'll just compliment me......"

Heiko rubbed his temples with a helpless expression, but soon realized that something was wrong, and his expression froze, "Bond? Handle? What does this mean? ”

"The reason why you chose to take the sea train to work is so that you can meet a certain woman named Anna while you are transiting in the water capital, right?"

Lao Gan was still laughing, but the information revealed in his voice made Heiko shudder, "You have been orphaned by the death of your parents since you were a child, and you haven't made any true friends over the years, so it can be said that you have no worries, and the only weakness that you can't let go of is the girl you once admired when you were a teenager." ”

"It's a pity that the other party has already married a wife, this time you only dared to wander at the door of her house, did not dare to visit, and waited until the other party came back in the evening, you looked at it from a distance at the entrance of the alley, and it was already very satisfied, so there were no regrets, and you stepped on this train to Pulai Town Station."

"The girl's address, I want to think about it, I can't remember it clearly when I'm older, it seems to be the northeast block of the water capital, the twenty-sixth room from the right of Lane 15 of Third Avenue?"

“……”

Heiko was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Originally, I saw that you let go of the driver of that train, and I thought that although you were a bandit, you still had a principled bottom line for doing things well, but I didn't expect the means to be insidious to such an extent......"

"A bandit can be a bastard with no conscience than a pirate, it seems that little Heike still has a little misunderstanding of our profession." Lao Gan shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, who told you that we let the old driver go?" ”

"Huh?" There was a look of confusion in Heiko's eyes, "But he's left the Plettown station now, and he's rushing back......"

"And when you were about to return to the Water City, you accidentally bumped into the train robbers?"

Lao Gan smiled and helped him take it, "Or the sea king, the storm or something, disappeared into this world silently, until the fishermen of the water capital went out of the port to catch the sea, accidentally saw the wreckage of the sea train, and hurriedly reported it to the city hall, and then traced this tragedy." ”

"You see, this kind of script is much more reasonable, right? If he doesn't get you to the station, we will kill you, and it will inevitably arouse some unnecessary suspicions......"

Looking at Heiko who was in a stupor, Lao Gan smiled even brighter, "Is there anything else to ask?" The old man's time is still quite precious, it's time to make it clear to you now, I've said it all, if it's nothing, I'll go first. ”

Heiko was silent, and just as he thought he had nothing to say, and was about to turn into a raven and fly away, he suddenly heard something like this, "You mentioned two names earlier, one is called Seti and the other is called Arno, right?" ”

"Yes." Old Gan turned around again and glanced at Heiko with interest.

Began to take the initiative to ask these questions, is a sign of completely giving up the heart of luck and beginning to fully cooperate, it seems that the young master's previous vision is really not wrong at all, this guy is indeed not as fat and stupid as he looks on the outside, but he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and he knows a little bit.

"Seti is the tall one, isn't she? Being able to pinch and explode a hard skull with one hand, this kind of terrifying power is not like an ordinary human can have, he has the blood of a giant? ”

Heiko's expression was complicated at this time, as if he didn't want to ask these questions, but he had to seize this opportunity to take the initiative to obtain more information, "Who is Arno?" Was it one of the few people that Master Vito brought with him last night? ”

"Hey, that's the point."

Lao Gan raised his eyebrows, "Seti does have a quarter of the giant blood, but his strength is not only innate, this guy is a shield fruit ability, and the whole person is a humanoid mobile fortress, pinching and exploding the heads of your few waste followers, it's not easy to ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of Lao Gan's mouth twitched without leaving a trace, not because of anything else, but he suddenly remembered that since Seti followed the young master, there had not been a few opportunities to exert that fruit ability at all.

The biggest use on weekdays is to use the air above as an invisible shield when it rains and snows, to shield the young master from the wind and rain, and to keep his clothes clean and tidy.

For example, this attack on the sea train, if it weren't for Seti's ability, then even the young master wouldn't be able to smoke a whole cigar in the icy rainstorm and let the bullets fly slowly for a while......

"As for Arno."

Facing Heiko's gaze, Lao Gan quickly retracted his thoughts and continued to answer, "It's the black-robed young man who pointed a gun at you last night, this little ghost is not easy to mess with, he was born to be an assassin, I don't know how much dirty work he has secretly dealt with for the young master over the years, and he is so angry that when you see him in the future, the old man advises you to forget about the unpleasantness on the train and treat him with respect." ”

These words immediately evoked the fear of imminent death when the muzzle of the gun was pressed to his eyebrows, and he nodded his head again and again, indicating that he would take this warning to heart.

"The henchmen and cadres brought out by the young master this time, in fact, except for the old man, most of them were on the carriage last night, you have seen them."

Lao Gan thought for a while, and then spoke, "Hathaway, that little girl, you should know, right?" ”

"Yes."

Heiko's eyes lit up, and he replied without hesitation, the visual impact of the scene of changing from a cat to a human under the orange light last night is still engraved in his mind and is unforgettable.

"Speaking ......"

At this point, Heiko finally noticed something wrong, or a terrible resemblance among Vito's men.

"You...... You're a Raven Fruit Ability, that Seti is a Shield Fruit Ability, and then there's a one who can turn into a cat, so does that mean you're all Devil Fruit Abilities? ”

That's a Devil Fruit with a minimum starting price of 100 million Bailey on the black market! Even on the great voyage, it has never been a bad street, a group of bandits who came out of the deep mountains and old forests, can they be rich and powerful to this extent?

"It's just a little bit of possessions that the young master has saved."

Lao Gan seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile, "We are bandits, so many years of robbing houses and robbing houses everywhere, and also annexing so many cottages of our peers, it is very reasonable to collect a few devil fruits, right?" ”

"Besides, among the people that the young master brought out this time, only the three of us have the ability of devil fruits, and the Arno you just mentioned doesn't have it."

Lao Gan pouted, "Actually, the young master also rewarded him, but that little ghost is very stubborn, he just can't look down on these foreign objects, and he always thinks about relying on his own strength, no matter how much he persuades, it's useless......"

Is there still such a guy?

Heiko felt that his three views were a little subverted, he couldn't understand this strange idea anyway, if he had changed himself, he would be lucky enough to be rewarded with a Devil Fruit by his own boss, and he would have gobbled it up without saying a word.

That's a good thing that can give ordinary people demonic powers, and on this sea, if you don't catch the opportunity, who wants to live this life doing nothing?
