Chapter 91: Human Traffickers
After sending off the academic training group, the next thing Qiubai and the others had to do was not to continue to go deep into the "Great Voyage", but to move towards the entrance in turn, and they had to retreat to a deserted island west of Shengting Island for the handover of "goods".
Doflamingo's contact and action instructions had arrived, and the time for the two sides to hand over and merge had been roughly determined, and Qiubai, who was the receiving party, could only arrive early and not late, so his time was still a little tight.
And more importantly, with Peibo's level of navigation, if they sailed at night on the Great Route, it was basically the same as looking for death, so they could only use the time during the day to sail, and at night they tried to find a suitable place to stop the ship.
In this way, the already limited time is even more limited.
However, the so-called "hard work does not live up to the sky", after sacrificing themselves and paying the price of dozens of catties of fat, they still arrived at the designated place on time.
Immediately, within five days at the latest, they can wait for the goods they are waiting for.
In the evening, the boat rested quietly in the small bay of this desert island, and Qiu Bai sat on the side of the boat with his head resting on his arms and looked up at the sky.
With his level of education at the beast level, he can whisper a famous sentence at this time...... There are two things, the more often we ponder them, the more they are infused with the soul of man, the more he refreshes them, the more they are filled with admiration and aweβthe starry sky above our heads and the moral law in our hearts.
It's just a pity that there is indeed a starry sky overhead, but Qiubai himself does not necessarily have a conscience, let alone a moral law.
Aine was resting with his eyes closed, and the continuous voyage did make it easy to get tired.
But Peibo, who should have been most tired, was still in good spirits, and now he sat cross-legged in the middle of the boat, admiring the treasure between his legs......
A Devil Fruit.
Every time Qiubai lowered his head, he could see the hesitant appearance of the woolly bear:
"Haven't you made a decision on whether to eat or not?"
This is the Devil Fruit that was snatched out that day, and after a little research, Qiubai gave it to Peibo...... According to his personal judgment, this is a very practical Devil Fruit, which is worth enduring the torture of taste and swallowing it.
However, although the fruit is very valuable - this is also a matter of course, otherwise it would not be hidden in the vault, but whether to eat it or not is still up to Pei Bo to decide for himself, and Qiubai certainly will not force anything.
According to Qiubai's understanding from the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, there is a great possibility that this superhuman fruit can make the realization of eating it as small as Thumbelina, as big as the giant clan-Oz-Bald Sea Monster-Giant Battleship Sacred Lake An......
Well, the above is a mustache based on the "ideal state".
The fruit that changes the volume and weight of itself or other things is called the "doubling fruit" (different from the 3D2Y Momo fruit), and the information in the illustrated book states that its change rate is between "0.1 and 10", that is, it can change the range of 10 centimeters and 10 meters of a one-meter-long stick...... Based on this alone, it can be said that this fruit is definitely the most practical type of Devil Fruit. To put it simply, after eating this thing, Pei Bo can go to the Ultraman set to mix.
"But...... If you eat a Devil Fruit, you won't be able to swim. β
It's not the taste, it's the shortcomings that all Devil Fruits have that are the reason for Peibo's hesitation.
Not being able to swim and becoming an absolute landlubber is definitely the worst curse for everyone who sails.
"This ...... Inevitably, there is always a sacrifice when there is gain, in short, you can think about it before making a decision, which is also a big deal. β
Of course, Qiu Bai didn't have no solution to the price that must be paid for this ability to obtain a Devil Fruit, but if he was to say it, such a powerful ability would be enough to offset the curse it brings.
And although Pei Bo seemed hesitant, it was conceivable that he would eat it in the end...... Because even when faced with a choice that may have a 50% chance of getting benefits and a 50% chance of bringing about a vicious change, human beings hesitate and hesitate, and in the end most people will still choose to try.
First, everyone has a fluke mentality; Second, everyone has curiosity. This is a subconscious judgment of tendencies.
What does it feel like to gain competence? Don't want to give it a try?
What's more, this fruit is much better than the five-five blooming situation, it is a known ability that appears in the illustrated book, not the kind of complete unknown......
So in the hesitation of whether to try the flavored fruit, Peibo fell asleep groggily.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Early the next morning, half-asleep, Qiubai suddenly stood up from the ship.
He heard the slight sound of water, and immediately looked up, and through the thin mist, a ship several laps larger than the Interna sailed into the harbor.
The man he was waiting for came.
He spotted the other party and the other party also spotted him, and after approaching a close distance of about 20 meters, the boat stopped.
"Don Quixote's man?"
A man with a three-cornered hat and a face scarf covering his face with only his eyes showing was standing on the boat and asked in a loud voice...... The ship was silent, as if there was only one person.
At this time, Ain and Peibo also woke up.
"Yes, 'Delivery Man 02'?"
Qiubai asked the other party's identity, and after he nodded, the two sides began to exchange code words...... The code words are different, and only when the dynamic password and static password are correct, the identities of both parties will be truly confirmed, and the "goods" can be handed over normally.
It is impossible to make a mistake about this kind of code language, but even if his identity is confirmed, he still maintains a vigilant attitude...... This kind of thing is all too common.
THE MAN GLANCED AT QIUBAI, THEN CHUCKLED IN A LOW VOICE, "DON'T BE NERVOUS, DON QUIJOTE IS THE OBJECT OF OUR LONG-TERM COOPERATION, AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE UNAVOIDABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, WE WOULDN'T OFFEND JOKER." β
As long as anyone with brains will not easily offend Doflamingo, and when Dover is serious about business, it is best not to try to play any tricks with him.
Therefore, no matter what attitude the delivery man has in his heart towards Dover sending such a little boy to do such a big task, he will not show this attitude.
Anyway, it is enough to hand over the goods.
Qiu Bai nodded, but was unmoved by the other party's words.
"Lean in." He tilted his head and said to Peibo.
The freeboard of the opposing ship was high, and the Interna could just stop under that ship to unload...... Qiubai is actually the same as the other party, he is only responsible for the matter in front of him, as for how Dover and the other party make money settlements, that is not his scope of work, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
As the other party said, this is not their first collaboration with Don Quixote.
After there was no problem, the other party's movements were very numb, and an iron cage that was not too small slowly hung down from the boat with the sound of the iron cable sliding.
"The inventory is good, there are eleven tails in total, and we are not responsible for the lack or death or injury after delivery."
After the cage fell, the man said very simply.
Cooperating with Dover, in fact, their attitude was also very nervous, for example, the ship in front of them could never be the other party's mother ship, it belonged to the kind of delivery ship that was used and lost, and the real ship was parked there, of course Qiubai could not know.
But he didn't care about that, and when the cage fell to the ship, the Intern's draft was deeper.
Qiu Bai looked at the "goods" in the cage with a curious look, and then he tapped the iron fence with his index finger and made a crisp sound:
"Ahem, excuse me...... Is Seto Chan there? β
This is the first time Qiu Bai has seen this legendary creature, and now what he sees in front of him is a living mermaid, that is, not a fish man, let alone a dugong.
