"Hehe, the existence of powerful people in this world, I believe you know. Although there are many of you, there don't seem to be many capable people, and you can't stop me if I want to leave. ”

"I've seen the water, so what about your weapons?"

"This is it." Shen Xu pointed to the two one-meter-high machines in front of him and spoke.

"It's a solar-powered seawater filter, and as long as there's sun, you can filter seawater into drinkable fresh water."

"What are you kidding? I've never heard of such a machine. Outside the door, Joyce pushed open the door and shouted, "Chief, he's lying to us." ”

"Shut up!" Kou Sha looked at Shen Xu solemnly and asked word by word, "Are you sure it really has the function you said?" ”

"Why don't you try it?" Shen Xu chuckled.

Why are rebels rebels?

Their fundamental purpose is water, and weapons are only a means to their ends.

The rebels are very poor, but poverty does not mean that there are no good things, and what Shen Xu values is the number of people in Kosha's hands that is larger than the king's army.

There are so many things that can be done with this kind of number!

"What conditions do you have?" After seeing the machine's magical effects with his own eyes, Kosha's breathing became heavy.

"I need you to help me find an item, and if you can find it, all this water and machinery will be your payment."

"Tell me about it."

Shen Xu didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a picture of the devil fruit he drew himself, and said: "I need you to help me find a fruit with a similar texture, the shape of the fruit may be a little different, but the shape doesn't matter, as long as there is a natural texture, it's okay." ”

"This, Chief—" Joyce stopped talking.

Shen Xu saw Joyce's expression in his eyes, and he was excited in his heart, could it be that the rebels really had news of the Devil Fruit?

"Why are you looking for this fruit?" Kosha gestured to Joyce from a perspective that Shen Xu couldn't see, meaning to ask him not to say more.

"We don't seem to have a treaty in our deal that informs the other party of the purpose, does it?"

"Yes, no, but I'm also the leader of the rebels, and I still have this knowledge, this is a devil fruit, right?"

"Well, and then what?"

"I just wanted to tell you that we recently acquired a Devil Fruit, and since you know about it, you should know what it's worth."

"You're trying to say I don't have enough chips?"

"Do you think that's enough?" Kosha asked rhetorically.

"What do you want?" Shen Xu squinted and asked.

"You misunderstood, our previous deal was perfect, and I didn't want anything else, but I heard that you are very strong, we will soon launch an attack on Albana, I hope that when the time comes, you can provide us with combat power, not on the side of the kingdom."

"Chief, he just said he wanted to join us." Joyce spoke from the side.

Both Shen Xu and Kosha ignored Joyce's words, Kosha saw very clearly that Shen Xu came to him just to trade with him.

"You're saying you need me to be on your side if war breaks out, at least during the war, right?"

"What do you mean?" Kosha played with the cup in his hand with interest.

Shen Xu didn't answer immediately, he was thinking about the gains and losses.

If he doesn't find the Devil Fruit, there's only one way to increase the energy gauge - collect enough soul power.

The more powerful a person is, the more soul power they have, and the more soul power they can absorb after killing. But the problem is that these people are not easy to kill.

Instead of going to great lengths to kill the strong, it is better to rely on harvesting the souls of warriors on the battlefield, although warriors are ordinary people, and the soul power that individuals can collect is very little, but the most important thing on the battlefield is people.

Quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes, because soon after, a big war will definitely break out in front of the royal capital, and Shen Xu can make some arrangements before the war in the name of the rebels.

The Battle of Alabastan is a must-fight battle, and no contractor can stop it. Even if a contractor brings Vivi to Kosha now, there will definitely be various accidents.

The Battle of Alabastan is the designated battle of this experience, and no matter how much trouble the contractor makes, the war will definitely start.

"I have one condition."

"Please."

"I need real power." Shen Xu spoke slowly.

"You want military power?" Kosha's face sank.

"I'm not interested in military power, I want diplomatic power. I'm going to the kingdom of Alabastan soon, and I need to have an identity that makes Kobra value me. ”

"No problem, I will temporarily appoint you as a diplomatic adjutant, Joyce is the diplomatic chief, and I will also go to the Kingdom of Alabastan in a few days, so let's go together then." Kosha stood up and held out his hand.

"I don't mind if I'm free." Shen Xu also stretched out his hand.

[The contractor has joined the rebel lineup and will remain valid until the end of the war.] 】

After the hint of the dream-making space appeared, Kosha also showed a smile, they were unaware of the existence of the dream-making space, as if there was a force in the darkness that directly affected their senses.

"To be honest, I've been hesitant to eat this devil fruit these days, but now I don't have to worry about it."

Joyce brought over a wooden box, and after Kosha opened the wooden box, he took out a palm-sized Devil Fruit and handed it to Shen Xu.

"It's yours."

Shen Xu ignored Kou Sha's words, and he immediately checked the attributes of the Devil Fruit.

【Unknown Devil Fruit】

Quality: Unknown

Type: Energy Fruit.

Effects: After eating, there is a 1% chance to replace the original class, a 12% chance to generate a new skill, a 50% chance to gain a one-time ability, a 37% chance to fail, and a fear of the sea and the sea in the pirate world.

Rating: None

Cost: 20,000 Dream Bonds.

Devil Fruit is like this, I basically don't know the ability of the fruit before I eat it, unless I have the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, but Shen Xu has not mastered such knowledge, so the quality is unknown.

Shen Xu's search for Devil Fruits was naturally not for eating, but for increasing the energy slot, and after seeing the type of Devil Fruit, he felt stable.

The Demon God level can only be increased by absorbing soul power, and there is one more way to increase the energy slot, which can absorb high-purity or high-level energy.

After getting the Devil Fruit, Shen Xu was in an extremely good mood, and he took out another roll of Junior Water Curtain Tianhua and threw it to Kou Sha, such a huge population advantage, Shen Xu couldn't afford to waste it.

"You prop, you're very strong!" After seeing Shen Xu's demonstration, Kou Sha said solemnly.

"It's a pity that I lack the materials and can't make it." Shen Xu had some regrets.

"How do we work together? I provide you with the materials, but the scrolls made are half of us. Kosha asked.

"Of course, if you can find it."

Shen Xu will definitely not refuse such a profitable business, so many people are looking for materials together, I believe that most of the materials can be found.

The only problem now is that even if he finds all the crafting materials, he won't be able to craft them if he can't find energy that can replace mana.

Shen Xu just had the mentality of giving it a try, even if Kou Sha couldn't find an item to replace his mana in the end, he wouldn't be disappointed.
