Chapter 52: The Secret of the Sea

......

With the continuous treasure hunting, the four of them found a lot of various treasures, crowns inlaid with gems and gold, all canes made of gold, the most are silver and gold products, as for the self-defense weapon that Lacey is looking for, there is no trace of it.

"Hmm! What does it taste like? After searching for a long time, Lacey came to the darkest and deepest treasure of the treasure house, and immediately smelled a pungent smell, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, immediately covered his nose, and said in a deep voice: "What a thick sea smell!" ”

"yes, it's so pungent!"

"Isn't this a place for treasures? How can it have the smell of sea, isn't that seafood? ”

Bedo and Beo, who were covered with gold and silver jewelry behind Lacey, also hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and Ellie also sniffed the air and asked, just like the three, frowning lightly and covering her nose.

This batch of treasures that exude a pungent sea smell is the treasure that Saisco led his men to intercept during the day yesterday and belonged to the Duke of Jackson of the Goya Kingdom, and a small wooden box with a small iron cable locked is quietly placed on the edge of this batch of treasures.

"Lacey, are you still looking here?" Bedo asked.

"Keep looking, I can't believe I can't find a weapon!" Lacey raised the lighter in his hand, covered his nose and stepped forward to continue to pick up the treasure, looking for the weapon he wanted to defend himself.

....

After a while, Reis, Bedo, and Beo had to finish reading the last treasures, but no weapons were found.

"Have all the weapons been stolen? It's impossible, look at this batch of gold and silver treasures that exude a fishy smell and are scattered, they are very inconsistent with the neatly placed gold and silver treasures in front, obviously they haven't been searched yet, but there are no weapons inlaid with gold and gems! Reis frowned and pondered, because he remembered those movie scenes or TV scenes, the treasures were all weapons inlaid with gold and gems, and Reis didn't want to look for those gold and gems, he just wanted to find weapons that could be defended, but the strange thing was that there were no weapons.

If Lacey's father, Bets, was here, he would touch Lacey's little head and teach Lacey that delicate weapons were the favorite among nobles, and that any weapon inlaid with precious stones and gold would be collected by any nobleman in the world, and would rarely be circulated in the world. It's a pity that Viscount Betch is not here, and Lacey can only rely on this whole thing to meditate.

Syllable! There was a slight crashing sound.

Ellie, who was on the very edge, clearly felt that she had kicked into a wooden box, remembering the excitement of finding a treasure, and after adding that her brothers had not found it yet, she hurriedly shouted loudly: "Brother, brother, I have found a treasure here!" ”....

....

The location is in the East China Sea, the entrance to the Great Shipping Route, the town of Rogue in the East China Sea.

The afternoon sun is always drowsy and makes people feel unrefreshed, but the streets of Rogue Town are extremely lively.

The port of Rogue Town has a triangular torii with the inscription Logue Town, and the surrounding streets are lined with various shops, with porches in front of them, and hundreds of steel warships and thousands of pirate ships of various sizes in the sea near the port.

Walking in the most densely populated square in Rogue Town, a lieutenant commander in a naval uniform and a cloak of justice, under the protection of several soldiers beside him, stopped in the center of the square, looked at the towering execution platform in front of the large building of the city hall in the middle of the square, and sighed: "An era is finally coming to an end!" How many admirals are there in Rogue Town today? When else is there a release execution time? ”

This person who looked at the execution table and sighed was Lieutenant Colonel Luther of the Navy who led the order of the Navy Headquarters and quietly led the naval fleet in the waters near the Kingdom of Goya to leave.

"Report to Lieutenant Commander Luther, there are now admirals in Rogue Town, except for the largest Marshal of the Admiral Headquarters, I don't know how many admirals have come, but the world government and the Admiral Headquarters have announced the news all over the world that they will officially execute One Piece King Gore Brown at the execution table in Rogue Town in three days. D. Roger! A naval soldier behind Lieutenant Colonel Luther immediately replied.

"Three days later, the execution will be public! It's no wonder that even the Navy Headquarters couldn't even care about the safety of the Goa Kingdom, and summoned me, a small naval lieutenant commander, to Rogue Town, it turned out that this was the reason! ”

"The world is going to be windy, and the sea is going to be high, I hope that during this time, the Goya Kingdom will have no worries!"

Lieutenant Colonel Luther sighed softly, and then walked towards the garrison of the naval detachment in Rogue Town. But he never imagined that his departure would immediately plunge the Beirut family into a crisis, which he never imagined.

.......

Lacey held the lighter and sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the broken wooden box and the fruit stored in the wooden box blankly.

Under the light of the fire, Reis could see very clearly, this round fruit with its own small head size, the whole from the outer layer of the peel is covered with arabesque-like spiral patterns, the overall color is dark, in the firelight, the outer skin faintly exudes a faint reflection.

"My God, the sea is hidden, the devil fruit!" Lacey finally couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and blurted out, he couldn't have imagined that there was a devil fruit hidden in the small wooden box that his sister accidentally touched, and he didn't expect that a devil fruit that originally appeared on the sea would appear in front of his eyes in the inland of the Goya Kingdom.

"Fruit, what fruit? Brother, can you eat it? Ellie stood beside her brother, looked at her brother's happy face, and asked curiously, "Brother, it looks like fruit, I drool!" ”

"Yes, Lacey, I don't know what the devil fruit is, but I have heard the word fruit clearly, it seems that Lacey you also know that this is a fruit, then it proves that it can be eaten, it looks like this fruit is quite big, just so we can use it to quench our thirst!"

Beo was already thirsty and couldn't stand it, and wanted to pick up the Devil Fruit in the small wooden box to eat, but in fact, it was not only him, but even Lacey, Bedo, Ellie, and the two Kyle and Cayden, who were crying weakly, were also thirsty.

"But this is no ordinary fruit!" Lacey looked at his brother Beo's outstretched hand and was shocked, and hurriedly stopped: "This is not an ordinary fruit, this is a fruit that can save our lives, we can't eat it indiscriminately." ”

Faced with the confusion of several people, Lacey had to make up a lie, saying that he had read a certain book in his father's study, and only then did he know that the fruit in front of him was the devil fruit depicted in that book, and eating it could make people have extraordinary powers.

Listening to Reis's fantastical words, Bedo, Beo, and Ellie all looked at Reis strangely, and they didn't believe Reis's explanation, but they still let them extinguish eating this Devil Fruit that even Reth didn't know what kind of fruit type it was, and prepared to let his younger brother Reis eat it first.

Reis did everything possible to stop Bedo and Beo not for himself but for the good of everyone, this was his own thought after careful consideration, and he also told Bedo, Beo and his sister Ellie the legend of the Devil Fruit, just to keep this Devil Fruit, brother They are still skeptical, no matter which of them eats the Devil Fruit, Rey knows that none of them eat it well by themselves, they are only teenagers, and they have an age of nearly thirty, no matter how young their bodies are, However, the power of the fruit itself can still be explored by oneself and can be fully exerted.

Just looking at this devil fruit that emitted a dim black light in the firelight, Lacey couldn't stop talking.....
