Chapter 218: Devil Fruit That Can't Be Spoiled
Thor and they have been waiting for the development of the situation between the bigmom pirates and the navy in the country of flowers, and by the way, this time can be regarded as a vacation, after all, the country of flowers itself is a resort.
However, because of the definite news of the war between the two sides, the seven-day holiday that had been scheduled before had to be shortened to three days.
At this time, the Orange Pirates were about to arrive at the island of Gurakos, where Ace was located according to the intelligence.
The information purchased by Thor from the Black Market is:
Thatch, the captain of Whitebeard's fourth team, was leading his men to fight against a cult on Gurakos Island, and it seems that there are not a few people who have been bewitched by the cult, and it is a little difficult to deal with.
But what's even more difficult is the head of the cult, the guy who calls himself the dark god seems to be very powerful, at least the intelligence sources who escaped secretly are very afraid of this dark god, and even think that he is stronger than the strongest man in the new world, Whitebeard.
Of course, many of them were frightened, and they had never seen the world, so the description was a bit exaggerated, but there was no doubt about the strength of the cult leader.
Therefore, Thatch, the captain of the fourth team, asks for help from Ace, the captain of the second team with whom he has the best relationship, and intends to fight side by side with Ace of Fire Fist to defeat the dark god.
Thor expressed some interest in the dark god described in the intelligence, as he felt that the dark god's abilities always felt familiar.
However, this was already a week ago, and it was a week after Thor saw Gurakos Island.
……
On the shore, two pirate ships of different shapes but with distinct whitebeard pirate markings docked there.
Originally, because a week had passed since the statute of limitations of the information, Thor was worried that Ace had defeated the cult leader and left, but now it seems that he was lucky enough to be caught by himself.
This saves you the trouble of looking for it.
Not long after the last time he was separated from Ace, his crew still recognized the logo of the Orange Pirates, and the watchers who stayed on the pirate ship on the shore saw through binoculars that it was the Orange Pirates, so they immediately went to the island to inform Ace.
When the Golden Merry docked, Ace could be seen walking towards the shore.
"Ace!"
Thor jumped directly onto the shore and ran over to hug him warmly, as if he hadn't seen his friend for many years.
"Thor! Why did you bastard get here? ”
Ace was stunned for a moment, but also hugged him warmly, and asked with some doubts.
"I heard from others that you seem to be in trouble, so I thought I'd come and help you." Thor said casually, looking at the smile on Ace's face that was a little tattered, and said, "But it seems to have been resolved, right?" ”。
"That's right, it's a cult leader, his ability is very special and powerful, and he was just defeated at noon today." Ace said directly.
Ace was also a little surprised that Thor could come to help him, but he had a good personality, and after the last time they met, although he always regarded Thor as a competitor, he was the kind he had a good impression of.
The first partner he met after going to sea, Ace had a very special feeling for Thor, although he played a prank on himself, but Ace didn't pay too much attention to it, just thinking about being able to defeat Thor, but he has been watching the Orange Pirates grow and become famous, and he has regarded Thor as his target to catch up.
"Go, come with me, I'll introduce you to Brother Thatch, the second captain of our Whitebeard Pirates, he is super nice, and we are holding a celebration banquet, you are just in time."
"Oh, ah, yes."
I wanted to greet him first and then ask about the matter, but Ace pulled himself so enthusiastically that he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to plan to mention the red history text after a while.
Following Ace to the ruins of a town called the town, Thor and they had already felt that the scale of the battle Ace had experienced before was definitely not small, and all kinds of explosion traces and traces that seemed to have been swallowed by something were all over the town.
"Big Brother Thatch! Big Brother Thatch! Guess who I brought here! Far away, Ace shouted.
As he shouted, almost all the people who were holding the banquet turned their eyes on Thor.
"It seems to be...... Son of Evil! ”
"That's right, I had a fight with the captain last time, and I know him."
"Oh? How did the Son of Evil come about? ”
"I don't know, but judging by Captain Ace's attitude, there shouldn't be any problem."
Ace went to the shore to pick up Thor and didn't take the team with him, so many people here recognize Thor well.
Listening to the discussion of the people around him, of course, Thatch, the captain of the fourth team, also heard the identity of the person next to Ace, and he was very curious about the topic of conversation a few months ago.
"Hello, I'm Thor, the captain of the Orange Pirates." Thor smiled as he held out his right hand to Thatch, who had a strange airplane hairstyle.
"Hello, I'm Thatch, Captain of Whitebeard's Fourth Team." For the people introduced by Ace, of course, Thatch will have some innate favor.
Of course, the title of Devil's Child is only a casual after-dinner conversation for the people under Whitebeard's command, and they don't think too differently about Thor.
After introducing each other, Ace then told Thatch why Sol came, and Sol also showed a pity that he was late.
Saul's casual nonsense won more of Thatch's favor, and they all regarded Saul as a righteous person.
However, only Saul's companions know that Saul's acting skills are superb again.
Talking casually, the banquet was about to officially begin, and when Thor was about to eat and drink first and then pull Ace down to the grove to ask about business, suddenly his eyes were keen to see something special.
"Devil Fruits?"
Next to the campfire, a wooden box was placed on a blue tropical fruit with a circle pattern, although it was impossible to tell whether its original shape was a pineapple or a cantaloupe, but such a unique shape was definitely a devil fruit.
"Ah, you said that devil fruit, it's a coincidence, just defeated the cult leader Dark God at noon today, and Big Brother Thatch found this devil fruit in the grass, you say it's a coincidence!" Ace said with a smile.
"This ...... It's the fruit of darkness! Thor couldn't tell whether he was sure or uncertain.
The Dark God described in the previous information, his abilities seem to Thor to be very similar to what Blackbeard used after obtaining the Dark Fruit, but it is weaker and slightly different.
And in addition, the Dark Fruit was discovered just after the death of the cult leader, so it seems that Ace should not know the mechanism of the Devil Fruit generation.
When a Devil Fruit Capable person dies, there is a chance that the Fruit Ability will randomly attach to a similar fruit and become a new Devil Fruit.
So much evidence points to one answer - it's probably the legendary Dark Fruit.
