Chapter 034: Devil Fruit

That's how to say it.

But if you don't make a splash anywhere, Luffy won't be Luffy.

When he saw the execution table where Roger was executed, Luffy immediately forgot Nami's advice and climbed up in twos and threes.

And shouted out that bold sentence:

"One Piece! I'm determined!! ”

It's been a long time since Saitama was stationed in Rogue Town, and there hasn't been such a pirate as well.

Now that Saitama has just left, the pirates have come to make trouble, and the face of the new official Smoker can be imagined to be very ugly.

Less than three minutes.

The police and navy stationed there were all dispatched and began to hunt down the straw hat maniac.

The chickens and dogs in the city are jumping, so lively.

……

Of course, Saitama, who was already on the Great Voyage at this time, didn't know that Rogue Town had become so lively.

Standing on the deck and looking at the suddenly snowy sky, I was a little surprised.

"The weather here ...... It's weird......"

Saitama caught a few flakes of falling snow and poked it with her finger: "Although it is true that the newspapers say that the climate changes frequently on the Great Route, this is the first time I have seen snow in summer......"

"Anything is possible on the Great Route."

Next to him, Dusty smiled beside Saitama and said: "Whether it is the ocean current, the direction of the wind, or the reference of the sea is not credible, ordinary sea ships want to pass the great route, they must have a 'permanent pointer', of course, thanks to Dr. Vegapunk, our navy's warships will be much more convenient to sail." ”

"Oh, that's pretty good."

Saitama nodded, no longer paying attention to the weather: "So...... Where are we going now? Going straight to Alabastan? ”

"Alabastan is also on the list, but the first stop is not there......"

Dusty took out a small notebook from his arms, opened it and pushed his glasses and said: "According to the information given by the World Government, the whistleblower who called himself 'Princess of Alabastan', the last place where the signal was cut off was the town called 'Whiskey Mountain' at the entrance to the Great Shipping Route, and our first stop was there, Mr. Saitama." ”

Speaking of this, Dusty saw the contents of the small notebook and suddenly remembered something.

"That's right, Saitama-sama!"

Dusty saluted Saitama Tachimasa in a bit of a panic and said, "When I came back, Mr. Karp asked me to bring you a personal gift, I forgot it in the cabin and didn't take it out, please wait a minute!" ”

Saitama watched with some dazed eyes as Dusty trotted into the cabin, and then ran back with a small box in his arms.

The little box looked very delicate and was decorated with ribbons.

It doesn't look like Karp can be packaged.

"That's it!"

Dusty blushed apologetically, stuck out his tongue, and handed the box to Saitama: "Open it and take a look, Mr. Saitama, this gift looks very exquisite!" ”

"I wasn't expecting much of it......"

Saitama remembered Karp's thick and leafy appearance, laughed dryly, wondered if he would give him a pack of senbei or something, and then unpacked it.

When opened, there is a card at the top of the box.

It also has the words written on it -

"To the Naval Hero Karp, justice will surely float on the sea - the world government, the sea calendar 1500 years."

1500 years of the sea calendar?

Saitama touched her chin and thought about it.

If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have read it in the naval logbook, and that year was the time when One Piece Roger was executed, and it was also the era when the golden lion Shiki was captured alive by Karp and Sengoku and imprisoned in Advance City.

In other words, the contents of this box are the commendations given to Karp by the world government for those two things?

……

It's really not a valuable thing.

Saitama laughed dryly.

The old man must have thrown it in a corner without even opening it, and then suddenly remembered that he had given it to himself as a favor.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have left this card inside.

"Gifts......"

Saitama took the card and opened the package, and a fruit with a strange pattern lay there quietly.

It's been twenty years, can this thing still be eaten......

……

"Ahh Mr. Saitama! ”

Next to her, Dusty also curiously leaned over her little head, and when she saw the contents of the box clearly, she immediately covered her mouth in amazement: "This...... Could it be the legendary 'Devil Fruit'!? Mr. Karp is so kind to you that he is willing to give you such a precious thing......"

"Devil Fruits?"

Saitama blinked: "It's just that if you eat it, you will become a landlubber, and then you will get the fruit of some kind of ability......" Speaking of this, Saitama tilted his head: "I'm not interested." ”

Dasty was stunned: "Alas? Doesn't Mr. Saitama like such a precious thing? ”

"Ah, I believe in the power of humanity itself more than this kind of thing."

Saitama said that, and handed the box to Dusty: "This is for you, just as a gift in return for you to buy me so many gifts." ”

"Huh? It's too precious! ”

Dusty was about to excuse himself, but he bit his lip and thought about it, and then accepted the Devil Fruit: "But...... Since it was something that Mr. Saitama gave me...... I'll keep it for good! ”

Saitama waved his hand casually: "Don't be so stubborn......"

As he spoke, the snow had stopped unconsciously.

On the surface of the sea, which was originally obscured by heavy snow, the figure of a small island that seemed to be composed of several huge cactus balls was slowly imprinted into the eye.

Whiskey Mountain.

It's here.

At the same time, the residents in charge of the lookout on the island also spotted the shadow of the Saitama warship.

"There are boats on the sea! Is it a pirate!? ”

Unlike ordinary civilians, their tone of voice when they mention the pirate ship is very excited and aggressive.

However, after seeing the flag of the naval navy logo of the warship through the binoculars, a group of people stopped firing at that time.

"What...... Is it the Navy? ”

"Are you here to arrest the criminals?"

"We don't have any members here who have been involved in criminal operations, have we?"

"Probably not, everyone here is just catching pirates in exchange for bounties and eating for food......"

……

That's right.

The townspeople are not ordinary civilians.

All 100 people in the team are bounty hunters who target pirates who have newly entered the Great Voyage and exchange bounties from the World Government.

Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer pirates entering the Great Voyage, and they have more or less to share their credit.

It's barely a cooperative relationship with the Navy.

The warship was docked at the pier.

Saitama and Dusty and the others disembark.

Although it wasn't the pirates who were a little disappointed, but with a different mind, the mayor of Whiskey Hill still came out to welcome the arrival of the navy.

"Welcome to the righteous navy."

The mayor with long curly hair bowed respectfully to Saitama: "I am the mayor of this town, Igram...... Excuse me...... Everyone, what is the matter with Whiskey Hill? ”
