The year 1512 of the sea round calendar.

West.

Alghero is a bustling, medium-sized town known for its handicrafts and flowers, a sizable naval base, a relatively safe environment and well-known produce.

It's June, and the sun is still hot at 3 p.m., even the stone pavement is baked, but the most popular bakery in town, Simon Cheese Circle, is not normal at the moment. Passers-by were curious to find several strong men standing at the door of the bakery, even if their faces were red from the sun, they did not dare to make even a little big move, just stared at the door of the bakery.

Rumble!!!!

With a loud noise, a tall figure slams through the door of the bakery and slams into the street, and several frightened passers-by boldly step forward to find that it is the town's notorious rogue Cartman who has fallen to the ground.

But the face of this ruffian bully could no longer see his usual arrogance at this moment, and blood was oozing out of his mouth, nose and even eyes and ears, and he was obviously extremely injured. He shuddered and shouted towards the door of the bakery, "Victor! Even you can't break the rules of the gang! Brothers who attack the gang at will will be punished with piercing!! ”

Da ...... Da ...... Da ......

With the sound of unhurried footsteps, a man appeared at the door of the bakery.

Compared to Cartman's three-meter-tall body, the man is about 1.8 meters tall. He was dressed in a modest black suit, his blond hair was combed back into his back, his age was between that of a teenager and a young man, and his handsome face, carved like a marble sculpture, looked very indifferent at the moment.

"You say I broke the gang rules?"

The young man known as Victor slowly pulls up his cuffs as he slowly walks towards Cartman slumped in the street, "I don't think so, Mr. Cartman. Because you're no longer a member of Coral. ”

The young man walks up to Cartman and looks at him condescendingly, with a hint of banter in his blue eyes, "To be clear, you were removed from the gang by order of the boss." ”

Cartman's face finally shows a hint of desperation when he hears this, and he screams and lunges at Victor, trying to fight his way out, only to see a flash in front of him, and a lightning-fast whip kick slams him in the chest.

With screams and bones shattering, Cartman the Rogue flies a full four or five meters in the air before smashing into a roadside flower bed and rolling to the ground. He barely raised his eyes to look at Victor, who was walking towards him, and begged for mercy: "Please, please, Victor...... Spare me......" Before he finished speaking, the black leather shoes stepped directly on his head, and a cold voice came from the top of his head: "I already said it when you teased my sister three days ago, you are dead, trash." ”

Before Cartman can beg for mercy, Victor kicks him in the throat. After a long time, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the brawny men who had been standing outside the bakery trotted over, bowed slightly to Victor in fear, and quickly carried Cartman's body away as it had ceased to twitch.

At this time, Victor noticed a young girl peeking into the door of the bakery, she was wearing a gothic dress, holding a small umbrella even in the house, her long pink hair was combed into a ponytail, and her eyes were round, so she looked a little cute. The girl was followed by a red-haired clerk holding a bag of bread, who did not pay any attention to the damaged door of her bakery, but stared at Victor's handsome face with a flushed face, as if she had seen an avid fan of the star.

Victor sighed slightly, took out two bills worth 100,000 Berry and gently put them in the hands of the female clerk, and said gently: "This is the money for repairing the gate and the flower bed, I'm sorry to disturb you, Miss Bell." Go back, Perona. He beckoned to the pink-haired girl and walked towards the Black Axe Bar in the center of town.

The pink-haired girl smiled and took the steaming toast from the female clerk's hand: "Ho ho ......ho ho Sister Bell, when you come back to your senses, your saliva is about to fall! I'll go, I'll come back to you again! She waved her little hand at the clerk and hurried after Victor.

A middle-aged tourist who witnessed the whole incident curiously asked the passers-by beside him, "This young man is really skilled, is he also a gangster?" The passer-by who was asked by him glanced at the tourist with disgust: "Uncle, you just came to this town, right?" Who on these nearby islands doesn't know the name of 'Mr. Victor'? ”

The middle-aged tourist was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "I did come from a distant island to play, can you tell me about this Victor?" Passers-by saw that the tourists had a good attitude, and they also talked about sex: "Mr. Victor is not very old, but he is a first-class master in the 'Coral' organization. And he looks cold and is actually very enthusiastic, and many people in the town have to take care of him. The pink-haired girl was Victor's sister Perona, a very lively little guy who everyone in town loved her. ”

"I see...... Who was the strong man he killed? ”

"That guy's name is Cartman, and he's a rascal ruffian who does anything evil. I heard that he seems to be a cadre of the 'Coral' organization, but I don't know much about the grievances between him and Mr. Victor. The passer-by shrugged his shoulders: "But Mr. Victor's skills are really powerful, I have never seen him lose, and it is estimated that the new colonel of the naval base is not his opponent." ”

The middle-aged tourist smiled when he heard this, thanked the passers-by, and walked slowly in the direction where the Victor brothers and sisters left.

I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing when I came to inspect the new jurisdiction in my spare time, the combat skills used by that young man did not look like they were blindly practiced by laymen, and the whip leg seemed to have a trace of the Lanjiao in the Navy Six Style, I hope it was just a coincidence...... Colonel Crohn, the new prefect of the Alghero Town Naval Base in Branch 91, secretly wrote down Victor's name.

Victor and Perona walked to the door of the Black Axe Bar, he groaned and turned to Perona and said, "Perona, you go home first." ”

Perona looked at Viktor worriedly: "Brother Viktor, is it okay?" Why don't I stay too, I'm already proficient in my Ghost Fruit abilities! ”

Victor rubbed the pink-haired girl's head and smiled: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary commendation ceremony." You go home first, obedient. ”

After seeing Perona leave, Victor's eyes turned cold, and he pushed the door and walked into the bar. There was no one in the bar, and he walked straight to the back of the bar and pushed open the door of the cubicle, and his vision suddenly opened up.

The cubicle inside the Black Axe Bar is a room specially prepared for gang cadres by the 'Coral' organization, and inside is a luxurious round table, which is empty, except for a small boxy box in the center of the table.

There were a few people standing behind the table, all of them cadres of Coral. There was also a man sitting on the sofa behind the table, this man was tall and mighty, with a cigar in his mouth, and his short purple hair was like a steel needle, and he didn't get up when he saw Victor push the door in, and said with an inexplicable smile: "My best subordinate, dear Victor, you are here, the movement just now is really not small, how is it?" It's a good thing for you, right? ”

"You've won the prize, boss. Cartman doesn't want to hand over the job, so I give him a ride. ”

"That waste actually dared to be greedy for the gang's money, he was so stupid that he died! Then again, you did a great job in the town of Catesuli, and all the brothers were convinced. Coupled with the two credits of Falling Bell Village and Ringing Pier, I agreed to your request as the boss. As he spoke, he pushed the box on the table in the direction of Victor, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Open it, this is a treasure of the sea worth 100 million baileys!" ”

Ignoring the smiling expressions of the people around him, Victor slowly opened the box. Lying quietly in the box was a small blue cantaloupe, covered with jagged stripes.

The surrounding cadres sneered, because the boss Pippin had already told them what the fruit's abilities were. Generally speaking, only a very small number of people can discern the abilities contained in a Devil Fruit based on its appearance, but this one is an exception. Because it is recognized as the fruit of waste – the fruit of the chain.

As the name suggests, the person who eats it will become a zipper person, and the ability is to open a zipper on an object that has been touched by himself. Six years ago, a Navy Colonel ate the fruit by chance, and not only did he get a useless waste ability, but he also became a landlubber and became a laughing stock, and was killed in a battle with pirates within a month.

After many years, this fruit reappeared on the sea, and was obtained by the 'Coral' organization Boss Pippin. Pippin was already an animal cow cow fruit buffalo form ability at that time, so he wanted to sell this fruit for a good price, but after 3 months, let alone 100 million berry, no one was willing to buy even 30 million berry, and after many inquiries, he learned that because the deeds of the naval colonel were too famous, everyone who knew the goods knew the specific appearance of this fruit, and how could he spend 100 million berry to buy back a useless garbage fruit. Pippin had no choice but to deposit the fruit in his own treasury and gradually forgot about it.

Back to Victor. Victor took the initiative to join the 'Coral' with his sister Perona two years ago, and relied on his invincible skills to complete many difficult tasks, the most amazing one was a month ago he alone in the town of Catesuri He single-handedly hit the six cadres of the 'Suleiman Family', another major gang in the West Sea, causing the 'Suleiman Family' to lose nearly eighty percent of its top combat power in an instant, and had no choice but to make concessions to the 'Coral', making the 'Coral' gain huge benefits. According to the rules of the gang, Victor's credit is 100 million even if it is exchanged for Berry, but Victor, who has always been indifferent to the reward of merit, made a request this time - he wants to get a Devil Fruit.

The boss Pippin was already very wary of Victor, for fear that he would snatch his own leadership throne, and how could he let Victor obtain the Devil Fruit to greatly increase his strength. But this time Victor's exploits are too dazzling, and if he refuses directly, he is challenging the rules of the gang. Just as Pippin was in a dilemma, one of his subordinates reminded him, "Chief, don't you still have a chicken waste devil fruit in your hand?" Just gave it to Victor, not only gagged him, maybe it also made his strength not increase but decrease! ”

Pippin was overjoyed after hearing this, and he was right! Even if Victor knew about the fruit's abilities, and he himself offered to get the Devil Fruit as a reward, then it would make sense for him to give the Chain Fruit as a reward.

In order to prevent Victor from being dissatisfied with the ability of the Chain Fruit and outbursting into harm, Pippin made two preparations, on the one hand, he brought several other cadres in the gang to suppress the battle, and on the other hand, he also gave Victor an extra gift - let Victor dispose of the rogue Cartman himself. Cartman embezzled the gang's property, and he already had the idea of getting rid of him, and it just so happened that Cartman had molested Perona before, and Victor probably wanted to kill him himself. Victor is his most powerful and strongest subordinate, so it is necessary to appease him.

In the secret compartment of the Black Axe Bar, under the gaze of everyone, Victor did not hesitate to pick up the fruit and bite it. Sure enough, the smell of the Devil Fruit was as disgusting as the legend suggests, but his complexion never fluctuated in the slightest. Because...... Everything is going according to his plan! He has been planning for two years, and one of his goals is the Devil Fruit in his hand.

Chain Fruit, a special superhuman Devil Fruit that is even rarer than a natural Devil Fruit!
