Chapter 49: The One Who Has the Ability to Bear the Fruit
Martin's ship stopped, and the oncoming Redforth slowly stopped, and the two pirate ships looked at each other from afar.
On the Redfuss, a man in a yellow straw hat and a black cloak waved his left hand at Martin at the bow of the ship.
"Hello, friend, can I talk to you?"
As he spoke, the straw hat man jumped suddenly, lightly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and flew down on the deck in front of Martin.
Needless to say, it was none other than the red-haired Shanks.
Shanks is well-proportioned, has red hair, and has a short stubble around his mouth.
He wears a white shirt, often buttoned only halfway, brown cropped trousers with a pattern, flip-flops at his feet, and the famous sword "Griffin" at his waist.
Shanks is still wearing Roger's straw hat, which should not have been given to Luffy yet, and the other party's left arm is still there, and it seems that there has not been an attack by the King of the Sea.
According to Martin, Shanks has a bold and generous personality, is informal, and is often very idle in both clothing and attitude.
He has a very good temper, always smiles, treats his subordinates as equals, and does not get angry at the rudeness of others.
Now it seems that the future Four Emperors are indeed full of smiles and politeness, not like a pirate, more like a businessman, but hiding a wild nature.
"What do you call your friends in Lower Shanks?"
"Martin, the knifesmith."
"Oh? You're a swordsmith, I don't look like it, you have a sword hero's momentum. ”
"I just know a little bit about swordsmanship."
"Drink, why are you chasing Jarrita?"
"This fat woman captures the people of our town, and wants to burn and loot in the town, such pirates deserve to die."
"Martin, Yarrita and I had a relationship, and she did something wrong...... Can you give her a face and let her go? ”
As soon as Shanks said this, Martin didn't know what to say, but wanted to laugh: "In the end, it is a man who eats the fruit of face, and he wants me to give face when we first meet." ”
Legend has it that there is such a fruit in the world of pirates, it is not a Devil Fruit, but it is more bullish than any Devil Fruit, and that is the "Face Fruit".
The Face Fruit can make any creature (even the sea) give face to those who are capable. In most cases, the other party will give face and make concessions, and the face fruit will give a certain reward; If the other party insists on not giving face, they will suffer different degrees of blows, and even lose their lives in serious cases.
And the bearer of the face fruit is Shanks.
Martin naturally knew that this was a metaphor, and it was also an affirmation of the redhead's strength and charisma.
So that he can solve many thorny problems with his "face", even the naval headquarters has to sell him face, and even the sea beast has to give him face. Not only the Navy Headquarters, but even the Five Old Stars took time out of their time to meet the red-haired Shanks during the World Conference.
"Hey, Shanks, dinner is ready, or let's talk while we eat."
On the Redford at sunset, someone was shouting loudly.
"Mr. Martin, can you enjoy a thin noodle and dine together?"
Seeing that the other party did not reply, Shanks invited the other party with a light smile.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the redhead who is one of the future Four Emperors, is so polite, he has already activated the face fruit ability, Martin simply nodded: "Jason, you guard the boat, whoever dares to move on the boat will be killed!" ”
It just so happened that his stomach was also hungry, and Shanks's face fruit was implemented at the right time.
Shanks jumped lightly and jumped back onto the Redforth, and Martin dodged with a shaved and appeared beside Shanks.
"Oh? One of the Navy Six Style Shaved? ”
Shanks smiled, a hint of something else in his eyes.
"Welcome, Mr. Martin, please come with me to the dining room."
A man of medium physique with curly hair beckoned.
Jesus Cloth!
Martin, with his thick lips, with the exception of his nose, recognized each other, who called Jesus Bu and Usopp father and son were strikingly similar in appearance.
He also wore a headband with his name on it, a cloth collared shirt and trousers, and a flintlock pistol around his waist.
It looks quite energetic.
In his memory, Shanks first used the "Face Fruit" ability against Usopp's father.
Shanks found Jesus and said to him, "So please him... I hope he can give me a face."
Jesus Bu soon left his family and appeared on the red-haired boat and became the red-haired companion.
Martin followed Shanks and Jesus Bu into the cabin living room.
The table inside was already full of food, and a fat man wearing small tinted sunglasses, a green hat, and a green and white striped shirt was tidying up the table, and he was biting a piece of meat in his mouth.
This is none other than Rachi Lu, a nimble combat chef and one of the future Four Emperors.
Martin is also not polite, he eats when he is hungry, and he is polite to the pirates, and then he holds a wine glass in his left hand, and eats big flesh and bone in his right hand.
During this period, he also drank a few glasses of wine with Shanks, and the future Four Emperors poured himself a few glasses of wine in a row, which was considered to be enough face.
Halfway through the meal, the fat woman Yarrita was brought up by the other crew members, she was wrapped in bandages, and when she saw Martin, she immediately knelt on her knees and cried loudly: "Spare me, Mr. Martin, I know it's wrong......"
"Mr. Martin, may I ask how you can let Yarrita go?"
Shanks, who was interested in mediation, asked: "If you have any requests, you can ask me, and if you want money, I have it here." ”
Martin put down the big bone stick in his hand and opened his mouth: "I'm not the kind of person who is short of money, if I let this fat woman go, it's okay." ”
"You can find me a Devil Fruit."
Yes, Martin simply opened his mouth.
"Devil fruits? I've got a rubber fruit here, but ......."
Shanks nodded.
"What? Rubber fruit! ”
Martin almost couldn't control his little heart and forced his expression down.
Rubber fruit still there?
Luffy, that kid shouldn't have eaten that magical fruit yet.
You must know that after the awakening of the rubber fruit, it is the legendary Nika fruit, which can change life against the sky, and as long as the person who eats it is the protagonist.
At the beginning, he also wanted to eat this fruit to change his life, but unfortunately the red-haired Shanks had no fixed place, and his strength was mediocre and he couldn't get the other party, so he had to give up.
The effect is better when eaten now, yes, this fruit has many benefits for double cultivation, it can be said that this is a powerful fruit that can make people reach the peak of life, so that the future empress was thrilled when she saw it, and she was fascinated.
Ahem......
Therefore, this rubber fruit is bound to be obtained by someone on my horse!
"Where's that rubber fruit? As long as I get the fruit, I will write off the grievances, Alital, don't kill it! ”
Martin patted his chest and assured.
Shanks was a little embarrassed, and he hadn't finished his words just now: "That rubber fruit ......"
At this time, a shrill voice came from the wine barrel next to the table: "I ate that rubber fruit!" ”
Martin immediately looked over, and when he looked closely, he saw a head sticking out of the barrel not far away, and also stretched out a slender hand, directly snatching the meat and bones in his hand and locking them back.
Then a little boy jumped out of the barrel and munched on the piece of meat.
The little boy has short black hair, looks a little messy, has a scar under his left eye, wears a red tank top, blue shorts, and open-toe straw sandals.
It is none other than the future One Piece, Luffy, who is only seven years old this year!
"His grandfather's, quickly spit out the rubber fruit to Lao Tzu!"
Martin rolled his eyes, looked at the seven-year-old rabbit cub Luffy, and was angry, and went up to pick up the other party and picked up the little thing's pants......

Here's what happens to those who don't give face to the fruit of face→_→:

The King of the Offshore Sea doesn't give the redhead face, bites off the redhead's left arm, and is knocked out by Luffy with a punch ten years later.
Akainu gave the redhead face on top and did not fight the armistice, so two years later, Akainu obtained the buff effect of the red-haired face fruit and became a marshal.
Although the yellow ape ignored the red-haired face on the top and drove the submarine that chased Luo with an eight-foot Qiong Goyu, the red-haired gave face when he appeared, and he raised his hand to give up, which was considered to be half of the face, and the merits were offset, so the official position remained unchanged after two years, and he was still a general. (In addition, the yellow ape raised his hand in the face of the threat of the red-haired deputy Beckman, and this paragraph also derived the stalk "Do not move the fruit")
Qingzhi directly ignored the red-haired face, drove a submarine to chase Luo with the Ice Age, and suffered bad luck two years later, and was broken by Akainu and lost his position as a general.
Sengoku and Karp gave the redhead face on top, did not fight the truce, and retired with peace of mind after two years, and Sengoku was able to recall his beloved disciple Corazon with Luo.
Overall, the Navy gave the Redhead face, and the Whitebeard Pirates stopped hunting down the Whitebeard Pirates in the top war, and became stronger two years later.
In the Seven Martial Seas, Don Quixote Doflamingo and Moonlight Moria fought without giving face, and both of them eventually lost their titles in the Seven Martial Seas, one was defeated by Luffy and imprisoned, and the other lost his companion again. And Jorakol Mihawk (Hawkeye), Boya Hancock (Empress), and Bartholomy Bear (Tyrant) maintained the status of the Seven Martial Seas, and also gained certain benefits, Hawkeye took Sauron as an apprentice, the Empress took care of Luffy's recovery, and the tyrant protected Luffy's ship.
Among the pirates, although Blackbeard had a lot of grudges with the redhead, he wisely gave the redhead face on top, and two years later he became the Four Emperors.
Marco stepped forward to prevent the redhead from giving face, so he was handcuffed by Hailou Shi during the battle and was seriously injured; But after the red hair came out, he gave face, stopped fighting with the navy, and two years later he was not caught by Blackbeard, and he successfully joined the protagonist's group.
Kaido gave the redhead face, did not participate in the top war, and became the strongest creature in the world.
Bucky the Clown gave the redhead face and gave the straw hat to Luo, and 2 years later his strength increased greatly to become the Four Emperors.
The redhead was kind and persuasive, Whitebeard not only didn't give the redhead face, but also spoke ill of the redhead, and waved a knife at him, not only did the top die tragically, but the Whitebeard Pirates suffered a big loss, and two years later they were kicked out of the Four Emperors, and the pirates under their command were all wiped out.
Kidd didn't give the redhead face, and formed an alliance with Apu and Hawkins to prepare to challenge the redhead, and finally met the beast Kaido, and after being defeated, not only was he seriously injured and almost died (he was captured alive by Kaido and imprisoned), but Apu and Hawkins both betrayed Kidd and took root in Kaido.
It can be seen that the fruit of face is the fruit of the law of cause and effect, and it may be the strongest fruit in history!
