As we all know, if the navy is the iron rice bowl in the world government system, then the CP0 that directly belongs to the Tianlong people and is directly responsible to the Tianlong people is the iron rice bowl in the iron rice bowl - and a job of this nature, whether before or after Polusalino's crossing, often cultivates a large number of lying flat people who are content with the status quo and do not want to improve.

In particular, the CP0's work also has the special attribute of dealing with the Draconians - no one understands the moodiness of the Draconians better than them. Therefore, contrary to what many people imagine, compared to the ministers who are closest to the Tianlong people and have to work hard every day, and the low-level executive level with the heaviest task and the highest risk, the most sought-after position level of CP0 internally is actually an ordinary captain level.

It's easy, oily, and status, but not responsible - if Polusalino is CP0, that's his highest pursuit.

Of course, there are a handful of volume kings in any group, and CP0 is no exception - the guy who just discovered the mission target Devil Fruit and wears a six-pointed star mask is one of them.

It's just that it's different from other volume kings who open the book on the surface (such as Spandain, who even py is willing to give). This CP0 belongs to the kind of person who shouts that he doesn't want to work hard, just wants to be content with the status quo, but behind the scenes, he is crazy and hard.

After all, although some people don't want to be in a high position, they see the progress of others, and always want to yin the other party and obstruct others...... In this case, it is still necessary to keep secrets while following the crowd.

In short, for this CP0, when he saw the seemingly ordinary superhuman Devil Fruit in the box, he knew that his continuous polishing of strength and his familiarity with the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book had paid off.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

……

The night has covered the sea, but it has not covered the people who are active on the sea. Although the sea is already dark, the city where CP0 chose to dock is still brightly lit.

And rightfully so, who made this city a resting place for many pirates that the navy tacitly approved? And the pirates don't have a sense of time. As long as the excitement comes, no matter what time it is, no matter where it is, the feasts and pleasures will not stop.

Coupled with the successive major moves of the Navy in recent years, many pirates are fighting on the sea with the mentality of having fun in time - how does that old saying come about? For an old fur seal, the most terrible thing is not to die, but to die when the money he has worked so hard to loot has not been spent......

Unlike the seriousness, coldness and even cruelty of wearing a mask during the day, after removing the triangular mask that resembles a seal, the leader of "Collector Team A" completely transforms into an ordinary man who can enjoy himself.

This kind of thing is also taken for granted, or it should be said, that such things are actually quite common among CP0s. After all, no matter how nice it sounds, the CP0s serve the Draco people - and dealing with those world nobles who can't be defined by normal creatures, if you don't seize the time outside of work to adjust your mentality and vent your emotions, it's easy to be turned crazy by your own mind before being killed by the enemy.

"Hahahaha, Obaisaigao! Sbarassi!

”

Holding a "nutritious warbler" in each hand, the CP0 captain took off his mask and disguised himself simply, his face was pink, and his mouth was full of wine. If it weren't for the two warblers holding each other, I don't know when they would fall.

"This place is quite impatient! Hiccup~"

Although he was already drunk, his hands were still moving wantonly, "It's a pity, I have to go back today, Hiccup~"

The six-pointed star mask CP0, who had also taken off his mask and performed a simple disguise, put down his wine glass with a smile on his face, took out two stacks of bills from his arms and handed them to the two ecstatic women, and then watched them trot away.

"It's just that the wine is a little worse~!

”

was so muttering, the CP0 captain who had lost the support of the "Liuying" slipped on the soles of his feet and almost fell to the ground like this, but the CP0 team member next to him stepped forward with great vision and helped him.

"Really, Captain Thatch, don't drink too much of it since it's not a good drink!"

Naturally, the CP0 team member complained - yes, I don't know if it was fate or coincidental, the CP0 captain's name was Thatch, and he had the same name as the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Wine is the essence of food, and once it enters the wine glass, not a drop can be wasted!"

Thatch immediately retorted with something very inconsistent with his identity, "Besides, whatever kind of wine it is, it's a good wine in my mouth!" Hiccup~"

"Yes, yes, wine!"

This kind of conversation, which is more like a conversation between good friends than superiors and subordinates, made the CP0 player's heart ripple slightly, but soon a trace of ruthlessness and perseverance flashed in his eyes, but he smiled on the outside:

"Anyway, let's call the other guys, and we'll go back to the ship together, Captain. Have a good night's rest and it's not too late to set sail tomorrow afternoon......"

"Hiccup~ Let's go! Let me go and see what their guys are doing~"

"Hahaha, everyone is a man~ How can I play?"

A good-natured laugh of good-natured teasing, a very natural expression of winning--Captain Thatch did have the best relationship with the CP0 team member, Kitty, in Collector A.

……

A thick darkness of night covered the shore, and the CP0s' boats were quietly parked on the shore, and there was nothing around. Of course, after all, at the moment when the mission of collecting Devil Fruits was completed, they had already hoisted the flag of the World Government - there were not many people in the whole world who dared to shoot at such a ship.

If there really is such a person here in the West Sea, maybe the CP0 will still question him - instead of competing with monsters in the New World for the vacant position of the Four Emperors to become famous, but nest here as a little pirate?

Regardless, the quick completion of the task, the pleasure that lasted most of the night, and the confidence in their own strength—and so on, caused the entire Collector A team to sleep deeply. On the huge ship, only the ordinary world government black suits who provide logistics services for the CP0s are awake.

Of course, their uniform has just been changed, and everything that can show the identity of the world government is presented openly after the mission - this can not only achieve concealment in the implementation of the mission, but also ensure that the follow-up is not disturbed and return home as soon as possible.

"Ahh

"Pain, pain, pain!

”

Some distressed voices rippled through the night, and Thatch, who was leading the team, walked out of the hatch, his eyes not darling, as if he were sleepwalking. He rubbed his head with his hands, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and he staggered out of the cabin door.

"Ah, it's still too inferior, my head hurts, really, can't the hops be used better-"

Thatch walked to the side of the boat in three steps, jumped on it, and stood on the side of the boat, his hand slowly stretched down.

With the sound of rattling, Thatch slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then shivered reluctantly.

"Captain Thatch, you have always carried the fruit we found during the day!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, "I didn't find it in the storage room or your room!" ”

Some of them were low, and they no longer reverted to the familiar voices of men who laughed in private on weekdays.

"Wow-"

Thatch was so startled that he almost fell under the boat.

But fortunately, although it is not possible to always be domineering even when drunk and completely relaxed its vigilance, the strength of the leader of Collector A team cannot be underestimated. He easily regained his balance, jumped off the side of the ship, turned around, and opened his eyes.

"Really, it scared me! Kitty! ”

Thatch complained, "You guy, can't you say hello when you show up?" ”

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, Captain Thatch,"

Chiti touched her head with a somewhat embarrassed look and took two steps forward, "I'm a little too anxious!" ”

"Luckily I've solved it,"

Thatch looked like he was in a hurry, "Otherwise, I would have been scared into the sea by you!" I don't want to fall into the sea, especially when I just on myself! ”

"Hahaha!"

Chiti smiled and patted Thatch on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, Captain Thatch!" So, that Devil Fruit is on you, right? ”

"yes,"

Thatch patted his waist, there was a bulging pocket, "Didn't I go to sleep directly when I came back, it suddenly occurred to me, I seem to have a little impression of this devil fruit, maybe it is the target of the first focus, so I was going to compare it with the simple illustrated book, but I fell asleep at the beginning, and then I was woken up by urine hahaha......"

"I mean, let me worry for nothing—"

"Huh? Ah——!h

！ ”

Thatch suddenly let out a scream, and an arm covered in pitch-black armed color had actually stabbed him into the heart from behind, and the alcohol-paralyzed brain was obviously unable to react in time to a sneak attack that was unavoidable even in normal times.

"I'm sorry, Captain Thatch,"

The arm was still in his captain's heart, and Kitty, the "six-pointed star" of Collector A, smiled.

"I'm also forced to do it!"

"Strange, Curious??!

！ ”

Thatch looked back in disbelief, not understanding why the subordinates who had been with him for decades suddenly attacked him—they were obviously old friends from the same CP training camp, and the relationship between them was ......

"Bang!

！ ”

Kitty struck a successful blow, but had no intention of stopping, using the shoulder of the blood-stained arm against Thatch's shoulder, and the other fist, covered with a powerful and domineering force, slammed into Thatch's defenseless head.

"Boom!

！ ”

"Kala!

！ ”

And then—

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Kala!

！

”

Punch after punch, as if to torture an enemy, Kitty's fist slammed into Thatch's head without reservation, accompanied by a muffled thud of broken bones.

"Smack!"

Chiti casually threw Thatch, who had completely lost consciousness and had more air in and less air out like a rag doll, on the deck, and took the pocket of the other party's waist, and took out the purple devil fruit with a snail's shell-like pattern, "Hummhahahaha!"

”

"Don't blame me!"

The man who had killed his companion said, "Captain Thatch, I'm forced to do the same! ”

"I found it! It chose me! ”

"This fruit...... Finally...... Your purpose turned out to be just ...... Chiti ......"

Thatch, lying in a pool of blood, struggled to raise his neck, even though his eyes were completely blurred.

"It's just?"

Kitty suddenly looked a little angry, but then he smiled again, showing a very smug and mocking smile, "That's right, how can a guy like you who thinks his life is complete when he is the captain of a third-level team, how can he pay attention to it?" ”

"The name of this fruit is a rubber fruit, I say that, captain, you understand, right?"

“！

！ ”

Although he could no longer think in complex terms due to the severity of his injury, Thatch briefly cleared his mind because of the name—he finally realized why he felt a little impressed with the fruit.

Since the founding of the World Government 800 years ago, there have only been a handful of Devil Fruits that have been the focus of every CP0. And they are not without exception powerful and terrifying abilities, or have had great abilities in history.

But among these particularly powerful Devil Fruits, there is a very eye-catching "ordinary" Devil Fruit - Superhuman, Rubber Fruit.

Not only is it the mismatch of knowing that it will not be very powerful just by imagination, but this fruit also has a very special record of multiple containment failures - no matter who or where it was found, it always disappeared again before it reached the red earth continent where Mary Joy was. Therefore, the adults of CP0 have even complained privately that this fruit is deliberately avoiding the world government as if it is conscious......

The last record of this Devil Fruit was reported by the CP9 years ago. And in the process of transportation, as if history repeats itself, an accident happened. And they were still robbed by the top man in the world, one of the four emperors, the "red-haired" Shanks - although I don't know why there are no well-known rubber fruit abilities in the red-haired pirates or even in the New World, but the top officials of the world government agree that the rubber fruit is indeed controlled by Shanks.

The combination of these reasons has led to the fact that this rubber fruit is almost not remembered by many people, let alone on the consideration list of the members of "Collector Team A" who specialize in collecting Devil Fruits. Even the reason why Thatch is still a little impressed can be regarded as his captain himself has an excellent memory......

"I was just going to kill you in the gentlest way possible, Captain Thatch, but who told you to go through the Pokédex for comparison?"

Kitty grinned, "So I'm sorry...... However, please rest assured, Captain, I will let others enjoy the same death as you, and finally present this fruit to the five elders alone, so that it will be my first step to the apex of the CP sequence! ”

"Bye-bye, captain in the way~"

Puff –

With such a sound, Thatch, who was completely unconscious, was thrown into a sea of urine mixed with his own urine by Kitty, completely out of breath.

……

Porusalino was on his way back to Marinfando aboard a warship of the Naval Corps of Engineers. Although he was still lying on the deck chair and looking leisurely basking in the sun, a series of information about the rubber (nika) fruit and what to do with it kept flashing through his mind.

A few years ago, in order to turn Luffy into a dark boy, Polusalino arranged for Robin to replace the rubber fruit that was originally found and escorted by the CP9 with the natural dark fruit, so Shanks looted something completely different or even opposite from the original plot from the CP9 team. And Blackbeard's dream was shattered, and then he was forced to eat the superhuman poop fruit, and became a terrifying "three-step god of war" on the sea, "an invincible man who doesn't make a move......

But when Robin later tried to use Bruno's space door to send this devil fruit with the "name of God" to Marin Fando and to Polusalino's side as soon as possible, this fruit caused the failure of Bruno's spatial ability the moment it entered the space behind Bruno's door - if it weren't for Porusalino's reaction and speed being fast enough, the crack like Whitebeard shattering space would have spread to Robin and Bruno along with the collapsed space.

Therefore, it was in this emergency that the rubber (Nika) fruit disappeared again. Polusalino's original plans for it were also shelved.

But I don't know why this "fruit of the gods" reappeared......

This time, Polusalino won't let it disappear again, and will experiment with it! And find the most suitable host for it!
