Saying goodbye to Nicole Robin's little sister, who was studying hard for the archaeologist's exam, Carlando turned to the side and imagined the progress bar.

"No growth? It seems that if everything goes well, where should it be the Devil Fruit. I don't know if it's the fruit of that line, I hope it's not too wasteful. ”

Putting away the progress bar, Carlando was ready to borrow the books, put the books home, and ran to the Northeast Scholar's residence to carefully investigate and confirm the location of the Devil Fruit, and then finish today's work.

Because I asked people who knew what the basic books of navigation were, I quickly found them, and there were about seven or eight books. With the thick pile of books in his hand, Carlando made his way to the library door again.

"Yo! Little Carlando, you want to be a navigator! With so many nautical books, it looks like you're going to have to study hard. ”

Grandpa Pence took note of the books he had borrowed, then took out Bailey himself, determined the amount, and put them in the cash box under his desk.

"Grandpa Pence, I'm rich!"

Carlando watched as Grandpa Burns pulled out Bailey and counted it into the cash register. The whole person is not good, am I betraying my father and crying too much? I didn't cry much, but the effect was unexpected.

However, the character that should be there can't be given up so simply, Carlando was just about to take out the prepared Bailey, but was severely stopped by Grandpa Pence.

"Don't think about these things, read a good book for grandpa, and strive to become a good navigator! You read the money for books, but grandpa still doesn't pay attention to it. ”

What else can I do? The hot-blooded boy responded to Grandpa Burns' words and walked out of the library with the book in his arms.

Looking at Uncle Bruns, who had been waiting at the door for a while, Carlando spread out his book and tied it to the back of his bicycle, and then took Uncle Bruns's return car.

"Borrowed a book? Little Carlando. ”

"Borrowed. Uncle Bruns, your library card, Grandpa Pence asked me to tell you that you have been going to the library more lately and reading more books. ”

Hearing little Carlando's words, Bruns pursed his lips, and rode his bicycle indifferently, driving smoothly on the bluestone road.

Seeing that Bruns didn't want to say more, Carlando didn't continue to ask, his mind was now all about the unknown Devil Fruit.

……

I changed into a more modest outfit and looked like an elementary school scholar, so it shouldn't be very conspicuous to wander around frequently in the scholar's residential area.

There wasn't much he cared about here, and it was still a place to live, and he had visited the northeast side of his residence in one day last time. And because the feeling of increasing the progress a little bit is relatively weak, he found that the progress bar change is still after coming back.

But this time it was different, and Calando squinted his eyes to bring up the progress bar and began a carpet search.

"Increased?"

Noticing the change in the progress bar, Carlando focused on the buildings in front of him. Slow down and start sifting through specific locations. It wasn't long before Calando came to the vicinity of a small cottage. This small villa is very exquisitely built, with a bit of the feeling of a European aristocratic house.

"It's an increase of 2%, and it's an increase of 7% just by getting close to here along the way, so it looks like it's going to be loaded."

O'Hara is an archaeological mecca known as the sea, and the people who live here are relatively cultivated, but it is not without petty thieves. You must know that in the previous life when the law was sound, the system was perfect, and Skynet was monitored, this kind of thing was still unavoidable.

The book town is not large, and when I first investigated the town, I knew that the population here was about seven or eight thousand. If you are found and treated as a thief, it will be difficult to get your hands on something that is suspected of being a Devil Fruit.

"You can't run into other people's homes in broad daylight, you're a stranger to them, and it's bad if you're accidentally taken for a thief. Although he wants to steal eighty percent, the things he stole are quite valuable, and he will need 100 million Baileys to say the least......"

Carlando thought about it and decided to investigate the information of the owner of this small villa carefully, and find out if there were any guards or something. It is also necessary to determine the escape route, and the Self-Defense Forces are also patrol security forces, and if they are caught, they will be over.

The market should also be checked, what lockpicking tools, climbing props, smoke and other things should be prepared. I also have to get a night walking suit, which is not recognizable.

"It's so troublesome......"

Carlando sighed, he wasn't a professional thief either, he didn't have much combat power. If it weren't for the fact that O'Hara was very peaceful, and the people who lived here were not vigilant, he would not have been sure.

"Why don't you come back in a year? With no one to guide me, I buried myself in penance for a year, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to master the content of the basic apprenticeship! In contrast, eating the Devil Fruit has good combat effectiveness, and it has the confidence to develop it for a year. The top floor of the library is much more difficult than this, and you may be able to run away if you meet CP. ”

Weighing the pros and cons, Carlando decided to make the vote anyway. Anyway, when the naval artillery washes the floor, the owner here is afraid that it will be cool. This Devil Fruit is either confiscated or reborn, it is better to strengthen yourself, and take revenge on the Navy and the World Government in the future, and you should be avenged.

……

Three days later, late at night.

Carlando was dressed in a pitch-black bodysuit, and his head was tightly wrapped except for his eyes.

Carefully climbing over the fence, Callando tiptoed closer to the house. After carefully looking around to make sure that no one was up at night, he took out a glimmering stone and reconfirmed the infiltration route he had planned for the past few days.

Fortunately, the style of this villa is exquisite, with windows, external pipes, protrusions, ornaments, and their own tools, a route with high probability is born.

Time passed, and Carlando, who was moving well, appeared by the window on the second floor. Take out the stone and observe the situation inside the house several times.

"It looks like it's the bathroom on the second floor, and there's no one."

Callando calmed his breathing and listened quietly for a while, noticing that no one was outside the bathroom. He gently pushed the slightly open window and climbed inside.

That's right! This window is open. Carlando, who bought a lockpicking tool, experimented at home for a day and found that quick lockpicking was a technical job. Even if the locks in this world are relatively backward, he still can't do it.

Abandon Carlando, who entered through the main entrance, and enter through the window instead. Based on previous experience, because of the unique smell of the bathroom, it is basically ventilated around the clock.

Heaven mercy, Carlando really found that the villa had a window that had been open for a long time, and now it looks like a bathroom. Leaning against the bathroom door, I listened quietly for a while. Carlando twisted the door open and dodged in.

Taking out the stone to illuminate the space slightly, Carlando took a closer look. Five rooms, plus a total of six behind him.

"Fortunately, I prepared a lot of sleeping liquid."

Pulling out a bottle full of pale green liquid from his backpack and a syringe to remove the needle, Callando put on his homemade gas mask and slowly made his way to the first room.

Draw a tube of liquid from the bottle and quickly close it. Carlando aimed the syringe at the crack in the door and sprayed it out.

After waiting for a while, and finding no surprises, Carlando began to repeat the previous steps. After all the rooms were processed, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no bloody accident. After waiting for a while, he cautiously walked up the stairs.
