Chapter 44: The Devil Fruit Illustrated Book

The Navy and the pirates have always been in a mutually hostile but complementary relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are two sides of the same coin.

To put it simply, where there are more pirates in the sea, there are also many navies in that sea.

Moreover, in an area with a high level of pirate strength in the North Sea, it is not unthinkable to meet the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, if the "pirates" here specifically refer to the Don Quixote family, then it is extremely common to encounter a navy of the level of Vice Admiral Tsuru.

After running wildly for some distance, Qiubai's boat slowed down again. Although Lieutenant General Crane is cruising here, in fact, this does not mean that Qiubai and the others are facing a great crisis...... As long as their pirate identities are not revealed, everything is fine.

Only when you are a thief will you be weak-hearted, but as soon as the pirate flag is removed, who would know that two or three big cats and kittens on such a small boat are actually lawbreakers? And a well-known admiral like Vice Admiral Tsuru probably wouldn't have fired at ambiguous targets.

Even if the two ships collided just now, and the Interne came and hit the stone with an egg, the people on the warship would probably have to save Qiubai, the three "ordinary civilians".

It was precisely because he knew that the commander of the warship was Vice Admiral Tsuru, that Qiu Bai waved to them so frankly and friendly, as if he was saluting the navy.

It is common sense for civilians to show goodwill to the Navy that has always protected them.

However, it is still necessary to keep a distance from the warship, and Qiubai will not really want to go to war with the vice admiral, and besides, there are only one person, one bear and one spy in that small boat.

Objectively speaking, after all, the navy is an official armed and violent group, with an all-round lead in terms of troops, force, armament and technology, generally speaking, the inevitable choice of pirates when they encounter the navy is to run away, unless the pirates reach the point of the four emperors or have a captain who has no brains to explode, otherwise it is rare for pirates to fight to the death with the navy.

First of all, the general pirates can't beat the navy, not to mention anything else, the artillery level of the two sides is not on the same level; Second, even if it has the strength to defeat a warship, the navy will try its best to find a way back, and after resisting the navy, it will be equivalent to being completely targeted by the navy, which even Doflamingo must try to avoid.

In fact, it is not without that kind of brain-dead pirates who take the navy as their lifelong goal and even kill the seamen, but that kind of pirates have undoubtedly been frantically retaliated against by the navy afterwards.

Imagine a situation where the navy is fully operational, and no matter how arrogant the pirates are, the final result can only be to feed the fish.

In the entire sea of the "post-Roger era", it may be said that the strength of the pirates and the navy is balanced, but the pirates are all scattered sand fighting for themselves, and what about the navy? It's as united as the abs of a fat house.

The forces that the navy can dispatch are not the same as the forces that a pirate group can dispatch, even if it is a pirate group like the Don Quixote.

To put it bluntly, things at sea have been the same throughout the ages, and it is nothing more than a big fish eating a small fish.

Therefore, even if Qiubai wants to find trouble, he can't pick the navy, he can only find some small shrimp peers to practice. There is no doubt that he would like to formally feel the atmosphere of "robbery" on the way back, and it would be better if he could also say by the way such life philosophy as "IPP, IC, IQ card, tell me the password".

However, his expectations were disappointed, and God did not give him that opportunity. Especially after re-hoisting Doflamingo's pirate flag, even if you see the pirate ship from a distance, the other party will just turn around and run......

Doflamingo is still relatively appealing on this sea, and the deterrent power of this flag is more significant than that of the navy. After all, the word "cruel" is rarely used in the Navy, but Doflamingo has these two words on his head almost all the time.

If there is no navy, the pirate flag in the North Sea Doflamingo can bring great protection, and Qiubai's round-trip voyage can profoundly illustrate this point.

It must be a good thing to be able to avoid unnecessary disputes, but Qiu Bai definitely doesn't think so, his brain circuit is not the same as ordinary people after all.

The journey was safe, so I was full of depression.

The first four are like trying to strangle him for people who have always pretended to have the word "trouble" in their hearts, so his mood is not very good.

Of course, no one cares about his mood except himself.

Although they had previously encountered the navy at night, the trio did not stop the night voyage for this reason, but they began to adopt a system of taking turns to rest...... After all, Peibo is not very reliable, and this bear says to sleep.

However, if two people are awake at all times, the safety of the boat can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

A few days later, Qiubai and the others finally returned to the Don Quixote family.

Qiu Bai walked off the ship with a face, as if everyone owed him hundreds of millions of Bailey, just after landing, he suddenly stopped again, and when Rosinandi walked past him, Qiu Bai whispered something as if talking to himself.

Because it was too difficult to communicate with Luo Nandi, and he was not a person all the way after all, Qiubai actually had very little communication with him along the way, but this sentence made the other party stunned.

Just when he wondered if he had heard it wrong, Qiubai had already walked away.

A short-legged hairy bear chased after Qiubai.

…………

On the side of Doflamingo's stronghold, there is a small library. It is said to be a library, but it is actually a bit similar to a navigator's library, where some documents and materials are kept relatively secret to ordinary people, but not too confidential to insiders.

For example, if Qiu Bai wants to find out what kind of handle Doflamingo is pinching the Celestial Dragon people here, then he will definitely not be able to find it.

But that doesn't mean that this library doesn't have any value as far as Qiubai is concerned.

In fact, many of the books here are very practical, and they are worth seeing, such as the ...... "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" that Qiu Bai is holding in his hand right now.

This kind of book and the knowledge it carries are very difficult to find among ordinary people, but for Doflamingo's side, there is no problem at all in keeping this kind of thing.

There is no name of the author or compiler in the book, but it will undoubtedly take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to classify and record such strange and unstructured things as Devil Fruits, and in fact, it seems that only the World Government can do this work.

Although the number of Devil Fruits is only a small part of the Pokédex, it can make this book an extremely useful tool.

Devil fruits cannot be eaten indiscriminately, and the "illustrated book" can at least provide some guidance.
