Shanks, who has always been calm, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this sentence, staring at the flicker in front of him with wide eyes.

How did he know about Nika Fruit?!

Shanks was incredulous.

Nika, the legendary warrior of the Lunarian tribe, was revered as the "Sun God Nika" 800 years ago for freeing the enslaved people and establishing a huge kingdom.

And the former Nika was so strong that his will and strength seeped into the fruit he ate, making this fruit the so-called Phantom Beast Seed Nika Fruit.

The body of the Nika Fruit has rubber-like properties, and it can fight in unrealistic ways at will, and is known as the "Liberation Warrior".

The one chosen by Nika's fruit ability will also be the destined liberator, leading everyone to true freedom, and will be the greatest enemy of the world government.

It was also before Roger turned himself in that he told Shanks the secret of the Nika fruit he had seen on the Island of the End.

This gave Shanks the idea of finding the Nika fruit and its users.

But Shanks didn't understand how the suddenness in front of him, who had just become a lieutenant general for a few years, knew this secret.

The World Government had completely blocked information about the Fruit because it was afraid of it, and only the Five Elders and those who had been to the Final Island knew about the Nika Fruit, and even changed its name to the Rubber Fruit.

Therefore, it is impossible for Su Su to know the information about the Nika fruit, and it is impossible to know that he Shanks is looking for the Nika fruit.

"Don't be so nervous, I still know a lot of things." Suddenly, he looked at Shanks, who was so nervous in front of him, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You can't possibly know." Shanks gradually calmed down, and said word by word against the flickering in front of him.

"Hahaha......" Suddenly he couldn't help but change from a smile to a laugh, and he didn't choose to explain anything, "Look at you like this, you shouldn't have found the Nika fruit yet, so let's get here here today." ”

After saying that, he picked up the box containing the four devil fruits and walked out slowly.

To put it a little more metaphysically, the Nika fruit is the fruit that carries the destiny of heaven, and it is also the fruit that is infused with Nika's personal will.

As stated in the original One Piece manga, Nika Fruit seems to have a consciousness of its own, as if it has been hiding from the search of the World Government for 800 years, and has never been found by the World Government.

And now Luffy, who carries the mandate of heaven, has just been born for a year, and it is estimated that only when Luffy eats the Devil Fruit in the original book will this fruit be found by the World Government, and then snatched by the red-haired Shanks, and finally delivered to Luffy's mouth by mistake.

Although he was still curious about the Nika fruit, there was a high probability that Shanks hadn't found it yet, so there was no need to continue pestering here.

…………

watched as he suddenly returned to the merchant ship, and then the merchant ship gradually drove away, disappearing into the range of everyone's domineering perception.

The red-haired pirate crew breathed a sigh of relief before they looked at Captain Shanks and asked curiously about the so-called Nika fruit.

"Well, that's a secret that Captain Roger told me back then......" Shanks sighed and began to explain as he looked at the curious and expectant eyes of the many cadres in front of him.

…………………

A few days later, near the kingdom of Alabastan in the first half of the Great Voyage, a merchant ship slowly sailed by.

"Looks like I'm a little late." Suddenly, he held his chin and looked at the port where the merchant ship was approaching.

Ahead is the rape flower market, the port city of Alabastan, the superpower of the desert kingdom of Alabastan, in the first half of the great shipping route.

"There were fluctuations in time and space about a week ago, and it seems that the future Vivi, codenamed [Mirror], has traveled to a week ago." He smiled and muttered to himself.

He specially took a three-month vacation to come here, just to fulfill the future he deserves, accompany Princess Vivi to grow up and make her his speedster.

After all, Wei Wei has traveled back in the future, and if he doesn't complete this space-time closed loop, it will inevitably cause a certain paradox.

Suddenly, he can keep running away to avoid the obliteration of the paradox of time and space to catch up with him. The future Vivi, codenamed [Mirror], can probably run away.

But it's really troublesome to keep dodging the obliteration of the paradox of time and space.

"Speaking of which, Princess Vivi is quite beautiful, and she should have been very cute when she was a child." He smiled slightly, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Not long after, the merchant ship docked.

"It's good to have orange planting bases in the East China Sea and the Great Route, I can bring a boatload of oranges to sell when I come to the Great Voyage from the East China Sea, and I can also bring a boatload of oranges to sell when I return to the East China Sea from the Great Route. And on the way back and forth, you can also collect money along the way and pull some people to go where they want to go. The owner of the merchant ship was chatting with the guest next to him, when he suddenly noticed that the merchant ship had stopped.

The owner of the merchant ship immediately stopped chatting, apologized to the guest, and then immediately ran in the direction of the sudden.

"Oh? Do you want to give it away? ”

He was about to disembark, but when he spotted the owner of the merchant ship who had arrived, he retracted the steps he had taken.

"I really thanked Lieutenant General the other day." The owner of the merchant ship whispered a thank you, then handed over a card.

"What is this?" Suddenly, he took the card, looking a little curious.

It was a transparent plastic card with a concentric circle pattern of three circles printed on it.

"The thank you gift, although not precious, is still useful." The owner of the merchant ship introduced, "This is an identity card, and for the members of the East China Sea Merchant Alliance, seeing it is like seeing me." ”

"Still don't know you are?" He suddenly looked at the card, and then at the merchant ship owner in front of him.

"The future heir of the East China Sea Business Alliance, Mick Huggis." Mick straightened up and said, "If you have any needs, as long as you can solve them with money, most of us can solve them." ”

Mick Hughes is confident in this statement.

Their family co-opted many merchants in the East China Sea, starting with the sale of oranges, and gradually developed into today's East China Sea merchant alliance, which sells almost nothing.

It may be inferior in terms of force, but its economic power and political influence can definitely be said to be behemoths.

"Well, I have a heart."

He nodded suddenly, then put the ID card away.

The existence of the East China Sea Business Alliance was not seen in the original book, and it is obvious that this organization did not survive under the washes of time, and I don't know why it disappeared.

Suddenly, it is speculated that it is most likely the cause of the oppression of pirates or nobles, after all, most of the bad things in this world can be attributed to the oppression of pirates and nobles.

"Help me search for all kinds of devil fruits for a long time, and I won't refuse to come." Suddenly, he said to Mick in front of him, "This is an anti-bugging phone bug that can only contact me, and you can consider contacting me if you have any major matters of life and death in the future." ”

With that, he threw Mick Hughes a phone bug, then turned and left the merchant ship.
