"Devil Fruits?"

"Hehaha, Brother Bai Xiao is really well-informed, that's right, I do have a Devil Fruit here, and I plan to give it to you as a thank you gift."

Successfully attracting Bai Xiao's attention, Bartolomeo was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile.

"I'm interested in Devil Fruits, yes, but aren't you considering eating this kind of good stuff yourself?"

"Well, well, I've been hesitating for a long time, but I've heard that if you eat that thing, you'll become a landlubber, and as a man, I don't really want to be labeled as a can't swim."

"It's hard for me."

Speaking of this, Bartolomeo hurriedly added: "Of course, Brother Bai Xiao, you don't have to have any scruples, even if you don't plan to eat the Devil Fruit, this fruit can be sold to the outside world, find a reliable black market, and you can earn 100 million Baileys with a guarantee." ”

"yes, that's a precious thank you."

Bai Xiao obviously didn't intend to refuse, if it was the fruit that Bartolomeo took out, it was very likely that it was the fruit with the ability of a 'scoundrel'.

Although Bai Xiao can't obtain the ability of the Devil Fruit by himself because of the Holy Lord System, there are people who can eat the fruit.

"Haha, since the eldest brother is interested, I'll go get it."

Bartolomeo hurried to the room at the back of the tavern, where the fruit was hidden, judging by his actions.

After a few moments, Bartolomeo, who had turned back, had a locked black box in his hand, and after opening it with a key, there was indeed a Devil Fruit placed inside.

The fruit is only slightly larger than an apple and has a grape-like texture.

Judging from the appearance of the fruit, Bai Xiao had no way of knowing what kind of fruit it was, after all, the shape of the devil fruit that he had shown in his memory was quite limited.

"This is the biggest loot I have gained so far, Brother Bai Xiao, please accept it."

Bartolomeo handed the black box forward with both hands.

"I like this thing very much, so I won't say much if I am polite."

Bai Xiao is also very simple, it is rare for Bartolomeo to be affectionate, and it is such a high-quality thank you gift, refusing can only make him look like an idiot.

After accepting this unknown fruit, Bai Xiao stayed for a long time, and after drinking the wine to his heart's content, he got up and said:

"Then don't bother, I still have to do something."

"Brother Bai Xiao, let it go, I have a hunch that you must be a man who will make huge waves in this era."

Bartolomeo's face was full of respect, and he personally helped observe the situation in the outside world, and after confirming that there was no problem, he let Bai Xiao leave.

As soon as he walked out of Bartolomeo's secret tavern, Bai Xiao went straight to the port west of Rogue Town, where the Shadow was parked, and Nami was already waiting nearby, but most of the people from the navy had blocked the ports around him.

With Bai Xiao's understanding of Smoker, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily, no, it should be said that he has a kind of obsession that borders on madness, and he will definitely not give up if he doesn't find him.

Sou.

The black shadow flashed, and two black shadow ninjas suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao and the Black Shadow Corps have a unique sense, even if they are far apart, as long as it takes some time, they can exchange information.

This Dark Ninja appeared here, just because he was summoned by Bai Xiao.

"Ate it."

Bai Xiao opened the black box and took out the Devil Fruit, the Dark Ninja didn't hesitate, just eat it, the Devil Fruit was extremely unpalatable, but the Dark Ninja was never picky about his taste.

After eating the Devil Fruit, the face of the Dark Shadow Ninja did not change in the slightest, which is not surprising, and the ability also needs a little time to understand their own abilities, and then after a long period of development and enhancement to dig deep into the fruit ability.

Bai Xiao couldn't eat the Devil Fruit, but the Black Shadow Ninja was completely unrestricted and absolutely loyal to him, making him the best choice to eat the fruit.

As for Nami? Bai Xiao didn't want to see this little thief cat awaken any strange abilities because of this.

"Try it with this gesture."

Bai Xiao demonstrated a movement, and the Black Ninja immediately learned it, crossing his hands, and his middle and index fingers overlapping each other.

The moment when the action is completed -

A transparent barrier of smooth and flawless squares suddenly appeared, both three meters wide and high.

"That's right."

Bai Xiao was immediately sure that Bartolomeo's thank-you gift was indeed a barrier fruit, and the prerequisite for activating this fruit's ability was to make such a unique gesture.

Judging from the size of the barrier released by the Black Shadow Ninja, the degree is far inferior to Bartolomeo, not to mention the previous fruit user, the Black Charcoal Cicada Pill.

This is not surprising, after all, it is only a preliminary mastery.

Generally speaking, after swallowing the fruit, the fruit eater can increase his ability to a level in a relatively short period of time, which can be regarded as the 'lower limit' of the Devil Fruit.

Then, there is an extremely arduous process of in-depth development, and the intensity of development depends on the talent and hard work of the eater, and some people with extraordinary abilities can even use the high-level technique of 'Devil Fruit Awakening' to complete the sublimation of the fruit.

Regarding the talent and potential of the Black Shadow Ninja, Bai Xiao didn't feel that there was anything to worry about, their learning ability was quite amazing, and as long as Bai Xiao found more charms, he could level them up.

At this time, Bai Xiao raised his palm, the fiery red rune activated, and the blasting fire pillar suddenly blasted out and landed on the barrier.

The barrier trembled slightly, and a large amount of smoke and dust splashed, but when the smoke and dust dissipated, what Bai Xiao saw was a scene where the barrier was intact.

This scene was not as Bai Xiao expected, even if the barrier area that the Black Shadow Ninja could arrange now was limited, but in terms of sturdiness, just the starting point was already amazingly strong.

"That's good news."

Looking at the black shadow in front of him, no, it should be called a 'barrier ninja', Bai Xiao was in a very good mood, his eyes turned and looked in the direction where the port to the west was located, the sky in the distance had already been overcast, and the rain was gradually slipping down.

At first, there was a drizzling rain, but it didn't take long for it to turn into a torrential rain, intertwined into a dense rain curtain in Bai Xiao's field of vision, and the pedestrians on the street held their heads under this sudden shower and quickened their pace, hiding under the eaves, or running home against the rain.

The originally lively street didn't take long to become empty, Bai Xiao rushed to the remote port in the west in the wind and rain, and not long after he launched his operation, a navy discovered his traces and quickly reported it to Smoker through the phone bug.

"Westside Harbor...... Wait, you won't be able to escape. ”

The Smoker engine car received the call, and when a burned-out cigar swayed in the wind and rain in the air and fell silently to the ground in the hum of the engine, the locomotive was already far away.
