Chapter 148: Snatching (Fifth Update)

Island Forty-Seven.

About a dozen people were slowly walking past the edge of the street, not attracting anyone's attention, and even ordinary people who noticed these people immediately withdrew their gaze.

Among the more than ten people, many of them have a round smiley face logo on their shoulders or backs, which is the symbol representing Doflamingo, one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty.

Walked for a while.

More than a dozen people met a man in black who had been waiting here for a long time in a dark corner.

"Did you bring anything?"

Among the people of the Don Quixote family, the bomber led by Guladius stepped forward and asked in a deep voice at the man in black.

The man in black spread his hands and said, "How could the boss of such an important thing be handed over to me to take with me, I just connect with you here, and then take you to the place we have set for trading." ”

"Hmph, you're really cautious."

Guladius snorted coldly.

The man in black smiled and said: "After all, you are the famous Don Quixote family, we are just small people, of course we have to be vigilant, have you brought all the money?" ”

Guladius stared at the man in black for two moments, then waved his hand, and several members of the Don Quixote family behind him stepped forward and opened the box he was carrying, which was densely packed with the largest face value of Bailey.

“……”

The man in black looked at Bailey in the box, showing a touch of greed, swallowed his saliva, and said to Guradius: "400 million Bailey and 500 million worth of arms, there is only Bailey here." ”

Guladius's face remained unchanged and said: "It is impossible to trade so many arms here at one time, you can take us to the trading place, don't play any tricks!" ”

"Come on."

The man in black smiled and said, "Our boss has prepared things for you." ”

Led by the man in black, Guladius and the others put away the Bailey, who was loaded with money, and left the dark alleyway and walked towards a dock on the shore somewhere.

And just as they walked on their front feet, a cloaked shadow suddenly appeared in the dark street, and he gently lifted the cloak, looking in the direction where Guradius and the others had left, and a slightly strange smile appeared on his face.

"Ho ho, Don Quixote, the next force to deal with...... What is such a large transaction? ”

Just as Lafitte was about to follow, the phone bug in his pocket suddenly rang, he answered the phone bug, and the voice of Robin asking him to go back to the ship was heard on the other side.

“…… Well, I see, but I've found something interesting here, a big deal for the Don Quixote family, and there may be unexpected gains. ”

Robin, who was on the other side of the phone bug, was silent for a moment, and then relayed Rhodes's meaning: "The captain said that you can move freely and stay safe. ”

"Okay."

The corners of Lafitte's mouth raised a trace of evil arc, put the phone bug in his pocket, turned into a black shadow, and quietly chased after Grudius and the others.

Guladius and the others became more and more remote, gradually walking towards the outskirts of the island, but Lafitte's concealment and tracking skills were unquestionable, and even then he still easily followed behind without anyone noticing.

Finally.

Culradius and the members of the Don Quixote family arrived on the shore of the Chambord Islands, where a medium-sized ship was lonely.

"Boss, the Don Quixote family is here."

The leader of the men in black came to the side of the ship and shouted at the boat, and then he heard a sound of footsteps from the ship, and soon a man wearing a captain's hat and a brown beard stepped down from the ship with twenty men, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Guladius stared at the wooden box in the opponent's hand twice, waved at his subordinates, and asked them to open the box again, revealing a large number of Baileys inside.

"Well, 400 million Bailey......"

The brown-bearded captain looked at the boxes of Bailey, his eyes flashed with greed, and a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly opened the wooden box in front of him.

In the dilapidated wooden box, there was a devil fruit, its appearance was quite different from that of animals and superhumans, and its whole body was earthy yellow, and it seemed to be covered with sand.

Department of Nature...... Rustling fruit!

Nearly two years have passed since the death of the sand crocodile, and this natural devil fruit has finally reappeared on the sea!

The Don Quixote family's transactions in the dark world are all over the sea, and if they can find the Burning Fruit after Ace's death, they naturally have the ability to find the Rustling Fruit!

"This is nature's, the fruit of the rustle."

Guladius looked at the delicate devil fruit, his eyes also flickered, although he had already eaten the superhuman explosion fruit, but for this ninety-billion-worth natural sand fruit, he still showed an extremely serious and solemn look.

If they can get this devil fruit, the Don Quixote family can easily cultivate another cadre or even the highest cadre, and expand their power even more.

"So, deal."

Guladius took a deep breath and motioned for his men to deliver the money as he reached out and grabbed the rustling fruit in the wooden box.

Regardless of whether the next step is to turn the other cheek directly, overturn the deal and recapture Bailey, or just complete the deal, this fruit is the most important, and you have to get it in your hands first.

However.

Just as Guladius reached out and grabbed the rustling fruit, a cylindrical object the size of a thumb suddenly flew from a distance and landed in the middle of the field.

Bang!

Before the thing fell, it suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of mist in an instant, instantly enveloping an area of tens of meters in total.

Captain Brownbeard was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw the wooden box in his hand, but Guradius's expression suddenly tightened when he saw this, and he took a step forward directly, reaching out and grabbing it.

But.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the box, a mahogany cane popped out of the fog and thud the box in Brownbeard's hand and slammed it into the back of his hand.

The back of Guladius' hand ached, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

Who?!

How dare they meddle in the dealings of their Don Quixote family!

Angry, Guladius didn't back down, his fingers flickering, and he threw a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, enveloping the area.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The violent explosion roared in the field, and it also dispersed the smoke in an instant, mixed with the screams of the people who were injured by mistake, but Guladius couldn't care about it so much, and the fruit of the rustle must not be snatched away!

While bombarding those who dared to snatch the fruit of the rustle, Guradius leaped through the smoke and rushed into the air where the box had been flown into the air, reaching out with his right hand and grabbing it.

"Dare to sabotage the business of the Don Quixote family......"

Gradiaus, snatching the wooden box in his hand, Guradius' face returned to indifference, and he snorted coldly, looking down at the area he had bombed.

The fog lifted, and there was no one in the area, only cherry blossom petals.

"Pretty fast!"

A cold glint flashed in Guladius's eyes, and then he slowly looked at the wooden box in his hand and opened it slowly.

But the moment the wooden box was opened, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.

The wooden box was empty, and the Devil Fruit was long gone, replaced by three pink cherry blossom petals, echoing the cluster of petals on the ground, as if mocking him for being an idiot.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it!!! ”

"Who is it, who the hell is it?!"

Guladius's face turned pale, his teeth gritted, his face fierce and furious, and he almost activated his Devil Fruit ability to blast the area open, but no matter how much he searched, he could no longer see any trace.

The only thing that impressed him was the mahogany cane, and the dark shadow hidden in the fog, with only a little figure visible.
