Chapter 3: Diamanti

"Captain Ace, it's too bad, the Don Quixote family has been killed!"

A round fat man ran over and shouted at Ace with an anxious face.

"The Don Kid Family...... Did you find it so quickly? Ace got up, his face becoming serious.

Although he remembered that Ace's burnt fruit was obtained from an uninhabited island in the original plot, it may be because of the relationship he crossed over, Ace's way to get the burnt fruit became snatched from the Don Quixote family, so he also expected that the other party would come to find a field, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Rafi, don't panic, be calm." Ace raised his hand and wanted to pat the fat man on the shoulder, but found that the dead fat man was more than half a body taller than himself, so he had no choice but to put down his arm, pretended to be calm and said a word, and then walked leisurely in the direction where the fat man came.

"Huh? Didn't you take the Don Quixote family into account at all? Captain Ace is so reliable! The fat man Raffi looked at Ace's calm back, and little stars appeared in his eyes, shouting.

On the seashore, a luxurious ship more than 20 meters long was docked on the shore, and at the bow stood a man wearing a fur-brimmed hat with two facial lines on his face, and behind him was a group of small minions who were yelling.

In the open space in front of the big ship, a bald old man with a blue head is fighting with Gambi who is armed with a heavy sword.

"It's this old man." Seeing the old man who was fighting with Gambi, Ace recognized the other party at a glance, but he couldn't remember what the other party's name was, but he remembered that this old man was not a Devil Fruit powerhouse, and Gambi should be able to deal with it, so he had no intention of interfering, so he directly found a place to sit down and watch the battle between the two.

In the original book, the Tangjikde Pirates have a very high popularity, and among the cadres of the Pirates, almost all of them are Devil Fruit Abilities, and only a few people have not eaten Devil Fruits, this old man happens to be one of them, and Gambi is Ace's current partner, the strongest one, and the strength is comparable to Ace before he didn't eat the burning fruit, so it should be no problem to deal with this old man.

Ace looked up and looked at the man standing on the bow of the big ship with the flag of the Don Quixote family, if he remembered correctly, this person should be the superhuman Devil Fruit: the ability to flutter the fruit, it seems to be called Diamanti, the highest cadre of the Don Quixote family, but the strength is average.

Ace's eyes swept around the big ship, and he didn't find any other familiar faces, it seemed that this time the Don Quixote family only came to these two cadres.

"Boy over there, you're the captain of this pirate group?" Diamanti also noticed Ace's arrival, locked his eyes directly on Ace, and asked.

"Ah, I'm the captain." Ace looked up, smiled like sunshine, and replied.

"You pirates seem to have taken some things from us, I wonder if you can give them back to us?" Diamanti said.

With the intelligence ability of the Don Quixote family, such an important thing as the burning fruit was robbed, so naturally he would not be ignorant of the situation at all, he had already read Ace's intelligence before coming here, and knew that the one in front of him was from Rao. The boy who snatched the burning fruit in G's hand is a rising star on the sea this year, and if he can make it to the second half of the great voyage alive, he may be able to become one of the supernovas of this year.

Before coming, he spoke to Doflamingo, and Doflamingo gave him two orders, one was to bring back the burnt fruit, or the person who had already eaten the burnt fruit, and the other was to bring back the corpse of the other party.

However, Diamanti is self-aware, if the other party has not eaten the burning fruit, it is fine, if he has already eaten it, then it is not certain who will become a corpse, so he decided to test it first.

"You're talking about the Devil Fruit." Hearing Diamanti's words, Ace stretched out his finger, and a cluster of flames came out of his fingertips, grinned toothily, and said, "I'm sorry, I've already eaten it." ”

"I've already eaten it, that's a pity." Seeing the flames coming from Ace's fingertips, Diamanti knew that his mission had almost failed, but he still wanted to work hard, took a step forward, put his feet on the edge of the boat, and said to Ace: "Young man, you have two choices now, first, to join our Don Quixote family, and second, to be hunted down by our Don Quixote Pirates. ”

"Huh." Ace didn't speak, just smiled, and then put the hat hanging from the back of his neck on his head, and at the same time, clusters of flames ignited from all over his body.

"That's right...... Rao, come back, let's go back. Seeing Ace's expression, Diamanti knew that Ace had rejected his proposal, and shouted at the old man who was fighting Gambi, and then said to Ace, "Boy, we'll meet again soon." ”

"Diamanti, if you go back like this, what will happen to the young master's orders?" Rao. G returned to the boat and said to Diamanti with an ugly face.

The Burning Fruit is a Devil Fruit that the Don Quixote family spent a lot of effort to get, not to mention the value of the natural Devil Fruit, not to mention the very high Burning Fruit, and more importantly, the Burning Fruit was taken away from him, if he goes back like this, even if the young master is good to the 'family', I am afraid that there will be some punishment.

"Virgo isn't here, we're not strong enough to take down the new star who has already eaten the Burning Fruit, and we have more important things to bring to Dover than that." After Diamanti finished speaking, he turned around directly, "Go back, Dover will deal with it, no one can take anything from our Don Quixote family without paying the price." ”

Ace didn't stop Diamanti from leaving, he knew Doflamingo's character very well, and he also knew that he cared very much about every cadre of the Don Quixote family, if he just seized the burnt fruit, there was still room for buffer, at least he wouldn't immediately face the highest combat power of the Don Quixote Pirates, even if he refused the solicitation from Doflamingo, the other party should not immediately send someone to hunt him down, but if he took Diamanti and Rao. If G's stay, the Don Kid family will definitely immediately launch an endless hunt for him, and Doflamingo will personally take action, which Ace is not willing to face at the moment.

It's not that I'm afraid of the other party...... Well, he was a little scared, and there were two other factors in the Don Kidkde family that made him extremely jealous, one was Doflamingo's identity, and the other was their intelligence capabilities.

He has a secret that must not be exposed at present, so he has to buy as much time as possible to make himself stronger...... Or, find forces that are strong enough to protect yourself.
