November 23, 1506 in the sea calendar, sunny.

The last time Qiubai went to sea was the end of summer, but I didn't expect that by the time I went to sea again, winter was already coming, to be honest, this kind of routine is contrary to the law of pirate activities - summer is the season when trade, parades and other sea ship activities are most intensive, but I didn't expect that there are still pirates who choose to take a break at this time.

Fortunately, Qiubai finally got a new task.

What exactly the rest of Don Quixote's cadres were going to do, Qiubai didn't ask, but if it was a fairly significant operation, this kind of information would have been leaked to the navy - as long as Rosinandi still existed.

Therefore, there are certain advantages to acting alone, at least the "unknowing" self can be excluded from the suspicion of being a naval spy. Originally, when Qiubai didn't know it, the intelligence of the major operation was leaked, which can explain at least two points, one is that there are really spies in the family; Second, the spy is not a rather suspicious Qiubai, but someone else.

"Blood" is a magical connection, and in any case, Doflamingo's tolerance for his own brother is definitely different from that of the others, and he doesn't want to do anything to his blood relatives without completely angering him...... This should be true.

But if Qiubai's neuroticism is questioned, then the result is not easy to say, what if he is given a "I'd rather kill by mistake than let go"?

So if you run a task by yourself, Qiubai is very happy to travel...... Of course, the main thing is that if he acts alone, no one will restrict him, and he can do whatever he wants.

So the participants in this operation are all "their own people" to Qiubai - only Ain and Peibo, he can bring a group of younger brothers, but there is no need for that, and Qiubai feels that those people will only hinder his actions.

The news that the "Childlike Fruit" will be auctioned is believed to have been widely circulated on the black market, and it is not surprising that Doflamingo can get such information, and it is even less surprising that Dover is interested in Qiubai, who knows some details about this Devil Fruit.

The function of "Childlike Fruit" is to turn the person it touches into a puppet, but its real meaning is that when the hostile target is turned into a puppet, it will also erase the memories of the person from the minds of all who know him, whether it is a wife, children, parents or close friends, who will not remember that such a person ever existed.

This is much more interesting and meaningful than directly killing a person, and it is especially suitable for dealing with those important people who must not be taken - in a sense, the fruit of childlike fun can really make a person "evaporate from the world".

Therefore, because of the particularity of this fruit, it is best to hold it in your own hands in every sense, so Dofra decided to let Qiubai do it for Mingge.

This task is not big or small, if Qiubai is in charge, it can be regarded as a kind of trust, right?

…………

"First of all, let's lower the pirate flag."

After leaving the coast for a short distance, the Interna headed for the islands marked on the chart, and the first thing Akibaku did was remove the pirate flag from the ship's mast.

Safety is a priority, pirates are the existence that most people dare not hate.

Now that Qiubai and the others are going, the place they are going to is outside the sphere of influence of Don Quixote's tradition, and this swaggering pirate flag may not be able to scare people, but it is easier to get themselves into trouble.

And there is another point, although the three of them did not have a bounty on them, it was difficult to keep that the super bounty hunters passing by were interested in the boat, and then drowned them easily.

Bounty hunters are an important force in maintaining the balance of the seas, and there are naturally strong and weak ones, which is one of the reasons why the navy will continue to increase the bounty for powerful pirates...... In order for the bounty hunter to choose a target based on his own strength and bounty amount.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to raise the bounty of pirates after 300 million, because few bounty hunters will kill such pirates, but this is not absolute, in fact, the bounty of about 500 million is still meaningful enough.

There are countless strong people in the "ordinary folk", and who knows when a monster will pop up. For example, a person named Fuji Tiger with no name, one day he urgently needed a large sum of money for some reason, and with his character, he would not go out to rob, and at this time, he happened to hear the head of an extremely evil pirate passing by him worth 500 million, so what if he made a cameo appearance as a bounty hunter on a whim?

No one can say for sure that this kind of thing will never happen, and in fact, there are many seemingly powerful pirates who have been killed by such unknown circumstances.

Of course, Qiubai can't reach that level, but that doesn't prevent him from wanting to encounter that kind of unclear thing. He has two or three big cats and kittens on his boat, but he can't withstand any wind and waves.

"What are we going to do next?"

Ain looked at the pirate flag that was first soaked by the sea and then sunk to the bottom, and asked Qiubai - that's right, just to be on the safe side, and in case of a naval boarding inspection, this cargo directly threw Don Quixote's pirate flag into the sea.

"When the time comes, let's collect some intelligence at the destination first, and the rest can only take one step at a time." Qiubai said as he greeted the already cold sea breeze.

It's really hard to judge how much confidence he has in his words about the success of the mission, because this mission does require improvisation.

In the eyes of those who know the trade, the value of the childlike fruit may be between hundreds of millions and billions, but Doflamingo didn't give Qiubai a dime, so he needs to find a way to get the fruit himself - in fact, there is no point in giving money, and it is difficult to keep it if you only rely on funds to obtain this fruit.

Qiubai probably needed to do something more out of the way, and he began to think about what to do about it......

At this time, the navigator Peibo was sailing.

If the weather conditions are right, Peibo can already slip away from the thief of the boat, so the Interna runs fast on the sea, and even reaches the legendary smooth sailing realm.

In fact, they have plenty of time, and the specific time of the fruit auction is at the end of December, and the interval between this time must be enough for the three of them to arrive in the Meow Galapaz.

But in general, it is better to get the fruit as soon as possible, as Qiubai said, how to get the fruit needs to be talked about at that time, that is to say, they need a certain preparation period, in order to be as complete as possible.
