Twenty-three: Devil Fruit in hand

The time was almost up, and on the high platform, a simple chef with thick eyebrows and big eyes began to speak to the phone bug in front of him.

The speeches at these conferences were the same as those of Cardo's previous life, the same, without the slightest change.

After the greetings, the rules that this guy talked about made Cardo listen carefully.

"Precious ingredients will be cooked on site by renowned chefs"

"After the appraisal of the conference, the top 10 precious ingredients can be given priority to taste the food."

"Every food supplier has the opportunity to taste the prey they have caught"

In a large speech, these few sentences are still a bit reliable, it seems that the chef alliance does not directly confiscate the ingredients, but secretly cooks by itself, and invites people to taste the cooked things.

"Hehe, I don't know what my miscellaneous goldenrod tastes like, I must taste it for a while" Cardo laughed strangely in his heart, proud of his little trick.

After coming over for a while, the guys on the stage also felt that the time was almost up, and announced the start of the evaluation.

The impatient crowd of people who were waiting finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the focus of the conference finally began.

One by one, pirates or others who specialize in the competition transport their ingredients to the high platform of the Chef Union.

Some of the ingredients are frozen in ice cubes to keep them fresh, while others are exposed to the outside, allowing the smell of blood and fish to permeate everywhere.

Cardo's goldenrod was packed in a bag, tightly covered, and Cardo was afraid that something would happen at the end.

This conference also made Cardo grow a lot of knowledge, and saw a lot of strange things, including whales of dozens of meters, lobsters of a few centimeters, and crabs with a grinding plate, anyway, as long as it is something in the sea, you can see it here.

There were even people who directly carried the overlord class to participate in the competition, but it surprised Cardo a lot.

One by one, the ingredients were identified by the chef alliance, some people lost their souls, and the things they got were either not precious enough, or they were simply inedible, and more people had smiles on their faces, although they knew that they were unlikely to win the championship, but they were satisfied to be able to taste the things cooked by these famous chefs for free.

"Participation first, competition second, little brother, don't be discouraged, it's the same whether you win the championship or not"

A strong man with a tall stature, seeing the backpack Cardo was carrying, thought that Cardo had obtained some inedible ingredients, and was afraid of being embarrassed, so he didn't dare to let people look at it, so he actually comforted Cardo.

"Uh-huh, definitely, definitely"

Haha, sending the enthusiastic strong man away, Cardo wiped a cold sweat, what is this called, I put the ingredients in my backpack, must be too garbage to see people.

After lining up for a long time, and finally it was his turn, Cardo threw his backpack in front of the judge who had just spoken, and shouted:

"Devil fruits, bring them quickly, I still have something to do."

"I haven't seen it yet, who knows what you're up here?"

The thick-eyed guy glanced at Cardo with resentment, and Cardo felt a chill and pimples.

"God, what kind of sin have I created, and I actually ran in front of this kind of sissy to evaluate"

Although he regretted it extremely in his heart, he couldn't snatch it back directly from others, so Cardo could only let the guy in front of him identify it.

"It's been a morning of appraisal, and there are no good goods, which makes people so tired."

The judge took the package slowly, intending to take a look.

"Oh my God!"

A shrill scream resounded throughout the square, and the judge exclaimed as if he was about to be raped.

"This, this is gold" The judges looked at the glittering piece of gold in their pockets, and they trembled when they spoke: "No, no, this is a golden-scaled goldfish."

"Oh my God, this must be the golden fish, a precious ingredient that is rare to see for decades, I thought this kind of thing only existed in legends, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

The judges breathed a sigh of relief and said in a much more normal tone.

"Come, come, get out of the way, let me see too"

"Don't get in the way, you should get out of the way and let me pass."

"Damn, whoever stepped on my foot can't slow down"

In an instant, more than a dozen judges rushed to Cardo, surrounded the pocket containing the golden-scaled goldfish, and squeezed into a mess, and even Cardo was squeezed open.

"Oh my God, it's true, it's goldenrod"

"I'm so tired, I didn't expect the old man to be able to cook this legendary ingredient one day," an old man burst into tears.

"Who said that you should cook, what qualifications do you have to cook, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye" Another old man, scolded: "If you want to cook, I will cook, for your stinky level, cooking goldenrod is a waste."

"Don't rob everyone, everyone has a share, declare first, I want a fish head"

"I want tenderloin"

"I want a fishtail"

"Why do you want a fish tail, I still want it, just come to make my specialty braised fish tail"

In an instant, chaos happened again.

The crowd around them were all stunned when they watched this unprecedented scene in the field, some judges on the high platform pulled and pulled together, some scolded each other, and some even fought.

"Stop it!"

Cardo yelled, and finally, the judges stopped.

"Now is not the time for you to divide your things, hurry up, give me the Devil Fruit, not give me the Devil Fruit, this goldfish, none of you have a chance to cook" Cardo said.

"Oh, yes, why are you still stunned, hurry up and give it to him"

"But the hunt isn't over yet."

"What are you waiting for, it's good that this legendary ingredient can appear once, do you still expect one to appear to compete with this?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that"

"Then don't give it to him quickly," the old men urged loudly.

The sissy judge froze for a moment, then finally pulled a women's bag out of her bosom, took out an apple-sized object from it, and handed it to Cardo.

"Here, it's yours, and the golden-scaled goldfish" After the sissy said a word, she suddenly turned around and pounced on the golden-scaled goldfish: "You people, leave some for others!" ”。

"What, it's so easy to get it" Cardo looked at the Devil Fruit in front of him, with a look of disbelief: "I wiped it, I knew that they weren't in some secret place, I would have stolen the Devil Fruit a long time ago, and it would take so much trouble there."

Cardo regretted it, he didn't expect that these chefs would just put the Devil Fruit in such a lady's backpack at random, originally, he thought that these guys would definitely treasure the Devil Fruit and put it in a secret place.

Cardo turned his head to look at the pirates staring at the high platform, thought for a moment, and put the Devil Fruit in his mouth.

"I'm grass, it's disgusting, what does it smell like?"

An indescribable taste spread from Cardo's mouth to his whole body, just like Cardo had accidentally eaten a rotten egg before, and it was so bad that it was to death.

"Sure enough, this thing is really unpalatable, it seems that it should be a real Devil Fruit" Cardo wanted to come, in the cartoon of his previous life, he also said that the Devil Fruit was difficult to eat, and the shape was different, and this apple-like thing in his hand should be the Devil Fruit.

Enduring the discomfort and eating all the Devil Fruits, Cardo couldn't help but test his new abilities, but now there are too many people here to test it, Cardo opened his legs, waved his hand at Feite and Sanji, and ran directly in the direction of Cardo.

"Chase after it, this kid is going to run away, Boss Snow Bear said, no matter what, this guy must be caught." This is the people of the Snow Bear Pirates

"Brothers, follow me, this guy has a Devil Fruit, let's grab it" This is a pirate who doesn't know that Cardo has eaten the Devil Fruit

"Dare to defeat our captain, I want you to live rather than die" This is the remnants of the Cuckold Pirates.

"Brothers, strong onlookers, there is a lively look" This is the crowd of onlookers pirates.

", I knew these guys weren't okay."

Cardo turned his head to look at the swarming pirates behind him, his legs faster, and he ran away in a puff of smoke.

"What kind of ability is it?"

Cardo pinched himself, there was no sense of change, it shouldn't be natural.

"Animal, Transformation"

Cardo shouted, and after shouting, Cardo's face turned red: "Damn, why am I still chanting a spell!" ”。

The body is still the same as usual, there is nothing different, to be sure, it is not the ability of the animal department.

Then there is only Superman, and Cardo is running while checking his body.

PS: Spoiler, lock lock fruit, and Bruno's door fruit is just the opposite, our protagonist locks things, of course, not just locks the door.
