Chapter 321: Luring the Wolf into the House
"Team 4 is back! Captain Thatch is back! ”
In the port where the Whitebeard Pirates are stationed, on the flagship Moby Dick, a voice sounds, and then the entire ship is boiling.
The fourth team returned from a successful mission, and the people who stayed on the Moby Dick naturally came to meet him.
In fact, the matter of exterminating such a hostile pirate group as the Scar Pirates is not worth paying much attention to, with the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates, any captain can easily capture them, but the reason why Thatch's return this time will cause a sensation is because before they returned, everyone had already learned that Thatch had gotten a Devil Fruit from an enemy ship.
Among the Whitebeard Pirates, there are still a lot of people with Devil Fruit abilities, and their abilities are also varied, and everyone is not too surprised that Thatch can get a Devil Fruit, but what they are surprised about is that the Devil Fruit that Thatch got is a fruit of what kind of ability, so when Thatch returned, many people came to watch as a melon eater.
When Thatch jumped aboard the Moby Dick, he was treated like a hero, and his companions cheered on the Whitebeard Pirates.
Thatch wasn't a flamboyant man either, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed at the welcome.
Now on the Moby Dick, it is most of the backbone members of the various teams, Ace is also there, he is holding a big meat bone in his hand, eating happily, when he saw Thatch, he leaned over and asked everyone's common heart: "Thatch, have you eaten the devil fruit you got?" ”
"Not yet! I haven't decided if I want to eat it yet! Thatch said.
"Oh? Then take it out and take a look! Foil Bista twisted his beard and smiled, "You can help you take a look, in case you recognize what the fruit is, it would be the best!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The rest of the team captains also coaxed.
In the crowd, although Titch was also eating food at the table, he had been paying attention to Thatch, and he was also curious, not knowing what kind of devil fruit Thatch had gotten.
And the white-bearded father, who was also on the deck at this time, carried the wine barrel in one hand, and watched his sons laugh while drinking, with a happy look on his face.
This kind of happy atmosphere is the favorite of Whitebeard's father.
Being asked by everyone to do so, Thatch couldn't shirk it, so he had to take out the small box containing the Devil Fruit, open it, and hold the Devil Fruit in his hand for everyone to see.
"Yo, purple?" Everyone looked at the Devil Fruit and was amazed: "I really haven't seen a Devil Fruit of this color and shape before!" ”
Although he said that he was helping Thatch take a look and identify it, in fact, most of the people present had not seen many Devil Fruits, and these guys were just messing around, and Ace was one of them.
"The roasted fruit I ate was red!" Ace's cheeks bulged, and he raised his hand while eating meat.
"The one I ate was blue!" Another man raised his hand.
People who have eaten Devil Fruits have made a fuss about describing the color and appearance of the Devil Fruits they ate at the beginning.
However, there was only one person, but he stared at the devil fruit in Thatch's hand, and there was an inexplicable hideousness in his eyes.
This person is Marshall M. D. Teach!
When he saw the Devil Fruit in Thatch's hand, Titch's mind flashed like a thunderbolt from the sky!
A crazy voice yelled in his head: "This is it! That's it! This is the fruit! ”
How many years? How many years have you been waiting on this ship yourself!? Is it finally still there!?
But...... Why!? Why didn't you get it, but Thatch, the bastard!?
If I had known this was the case, I should have gone on this mission with Thatch!
Titch lowered his head, afraid that the gaze in his eyes would be seen by others, and only after suppressing the crazy desire in his heart a little bit did he dare to raise his head again and look at Thatch.
At this moment, Tiqi was actually a little desperate in his heart, his original judgment was really correct, this fruit was really obtained by the Whitebeard Pirates, but he finally looked forward to the appearance of this fruit, and the person who got it was not himself!
For a moment, Titch was a little disheartened, wondering if he would just stay in the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life......
However, at this time, after talking for a long time, they found that no one could recognize this fruit, so they coaxed it and asked Thatch to eat it and see what kind of fruit it was.
As a result, Thatch was a little embarrassed by this request, scratching his head and saying, "However, I haven't decided whether to eat it yet, I don't want to be a landlubber!" ”
Except for those who don't know and eat the Devil Fruit by mistake, in fact, many people will hesitate when they really face the Devil Fruit, especially Thatch is in the Whitebeard Pirates, and he has seen many people eating Devil Fruits, so he knows best.
One is because it's unpalatable, and more than one person says it's unpalatable, it's everyone who says it's unpalatable! Ace also described the taste of the roasted fruit that he was fooled by Ian before, and the description of "barbecue poop" made many people who ate the devil fruit feel related after hearing it.
The second is because of the side effects of the Devil Fruit, which will become a landlubber and will be affected by the Hailou Stone, as a pirate who has been fighting at sea for a long time, it is quite worrying that he can't swim.
As for the last concern, that is ability, since you can't identify what kind of fruit it is, then it is actually risky to eat it, because it is very likely that you will find out after eating it that you have obtained the ability of chicken ribs, which is not uncommon.
So that's what Thatch is hesitating about now.
As soon as they heard Thatch say this, Ace and the others immediately collapsed, with an expression that wanted to watch a good show but couldn't get satisfaction.
Only Tiqi in the back, but after hearing this sentence, his spirit suddenly perked up!
Ace was a little unwilling, and said to Thatch: "Eat! What's the big deal? You see, I'm also a Devil Fruit ability, it's not the same! ”
Hearing Ace's persuasion, Titch was startled, for fear that because of his words, Thatch would change his mind and eat the Devil Fruit on the spot, so he rolled his eyes, opened his toothless mouth and laughed: "Captain Ace, that fruit belongs to Thatch, don't make a mess, do you want to eat it, you let him think about it!" ”
Ace said a little depressedly, "Teach, aren't you curious about what kind of fruit this is?" ”
"Curious!" Titch took a bite of the flesh and said: "But if you calculate it, it's nothing more than those three, I think, even if it's a natural system, it is estimated that it will not be much stronger than your burnt fruit, if it is a superhuman system, it will definitely not be as good as Daddy's shock fruit, but if it is an animal department, you have to think about it, in case it is a mouse fruit or something, we will call Captain Thatch 'Thatch Mouse' in the future!" ”
As he spoke, Titch bent over with a smile on his stomach as he pretended to amuse himself.
He pretended to be joking and said this, but everyone didn't think it was abrupt and rude, because after all, Titch was an old man who had been with his father for more than 20 years, and he was an old friend with the captains of various teams, and it was common for them to joke with each other.
So, instead of doubting what he said, the crowd laughed along.
Moreover, not only that, but everyone also felt that what Tiki said made sense, in the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace's Burning Fruit was considered the top fruit of the natural system, and if the superhuman system was concerned, with Daddy's Shock Fruit here, who would dare to say that there were other superhuman abilities that could surpass him? Being misled by Titch like this, everyone suddenly felt that this fruit might not be too powerful.
Only Daddy Whitebeard glanced at Titch a little strangely, and he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Titch's words.
However, when he heard that everyone called his shock fruit ability the strongest superhuman fruit, Daddy's mind was also a little crooked, he suddenly thought of Ian's ability, after Ian left, the name of his fruit has gradually spread recently, what kind of kryptonite fruit, it seems that Ian himself took it, obviously, the ability of this kryptonite fruit should also be superhuman, but it can use the thunder and fire power of the natural system, which makes Whitebeard Daddy can't help but think, the strongest superhuman ability, Maybe it's not his Shock Fruit, but Ian's Kryptonite Fruit, right? ……
It was because of this distraction that he didn't think about Titch's words......
After being disturbed by Titch, the crowd stopped reluctantly Sach, gathered together and laughed for a while, and after making fun of Saatchi, they dispersed.
Thatch had just returned from a mission, and naturally needed to rest, and when everyone dispersed, he planned to go back to his ship to rest, but what he didn't expect was that not long after he entered the cabin room, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, there was a harmless and innocent grinning Titch standing outside the door, carrying a large wine barrel in his hand!
"Thatch! Lao Tzu has come to you for a drink! Tiki raised his hand and greeted, "Anyway, the Devil Fruit you got is at least worth a lot of money, it's worth celebrating!" ”
After hearing this, Thatch laughed and said, "What you said seems to be right, come in!" ”
Thatch stepped aside and let Titch in, but what he didn't know was that this was what it meant to "lure the wolf into the room......
