Chapter 379: The dark fruit stirs up the storm!
Chapter 379: The dark fruit stirs up the storm!
In the new world, in a certain sea area, after less than half a month, the three "odd species" of Sachi, Teach, and Lucci finally came together.
At this time, a banquet was being held on the flagship of Captain Sage of the Fourth Division, the Flash Little Master.
Tiqi was dragging Sachi to drink like crazy, as if he was planning to get him drunk. Lucci was chatting with them and eating barbecue at the same time, and he didn't drink much wine.
He seemed to be planning something secretly.
"You have prospered this time, Saatchi. Next time you go drinking, it's your turn to pay for dad's drink." Tiqi put his arm around Saatchi's shoulders and said in a very pleasant tone.
Through constant chatting, he had confirmed that Sage had not eaten the Dark Fruit, and now the fruit was still in Sage's cabin.
Ha, wait a minute and get rid of Saatchi. Marshall D. Teach's wish for many years will be fulfilled!
Those with the ability of the Dark Fruit may be a beautiful thing!
"Hahahaha, it's all thanks to the intelligence from your second division. Without such intelligence, how could I have caught such a big fish? Don't worry, daddy, I'll cover all of his drinking money this year!" Saqi Said happily.
"Then I have to be a witness, thief hahaha. By the way, speaking of which, you got a devil fruit? Are you going to ask me to come and have a look?" Tiqi laughed and joked at first, and then changed the subject. .
Saatchi had no defense against Tich at all. When he said one thing, Saatchi suddenly shook his head and said sadly: "Yeah, I feel a little ashamed to say it. I have been a pirate for so many years, and this is the first time." The second time I seized a Devil Fruit, the last time was seven or eight years ago.
I didn't eat it at first, but sold it to exchange for wine money. Now that I think about it, I regret it.
I have thought about it, since the sea has sent this devil fruit to me this time, as long as the ability is not too bad, I will eat it and become a person with abilities..."
At this point, Saatchi paused again, and then continued: "We, we have to become stronger as soon as possible. The situation in the new world is no longer what it used to be. Dad's strength is no longer what it used to be. We sons , you have to take responsibility.
I even heard during this period that my father started hanging medicine bottles?We can't let him worry about us every day, right? "
After hearing this, Tiqi also fell silent. While drinking, he felt somewhat emotional in his heart.
To be honest, although on the way here, he said some radical words to Lu Qi, as if he wanted to give Lu Qi some help.
However, the contradictory nature of human beings is reflected in this kind of place.
The conflict between emotion and ambition.
In fact, Teach still has feelings for Newgate and the Whitebeard Pirates in his heart.
He once admired Whitebeard's power, the power of the era of suppression, and because of this, Teach respected this father from the bottom of his heart.
He even considered that if he didn't have that fate and couldn't find the Dark Fruit, it would be quite good to just hang around on the Moby Dick for the rest of his life.
But Teach himself may not have noticed this. After Newgate lost to Louis on Jam Island and lost his reputation as the strongest man, Teach's awe and admiration for Newgate had dissipated a lot.
In Teach's heart, he is a person who admires strong people and wants to become such a strong person.
Become the undisputed strong man with power that others cannot match.
This is also the greatest desire deep in his heart.
I used to admire Newgate because he was the strongest.
But now, he admires Louis as an admiral even more.
The most intuitive expression is that he once thought about grabbing Newgate's Shock Fruit after seizing the Dark Fruit.
But the strength shown by Louis made Teach change his mind. He planned to see if he could arrange a wave of Louis, the admiral, after seizing the Dark Fruit.
Rely on the dark fruit to catch him by surprise.
After all, Teach has been observing Louis for a long time. He thinks that what makes Louis great is actually his power to crush everything.
If you can decipher Louis's messy moves, be more cautious, bold and careful, and then use the Dark Fruit to trick him, you will definitely have a chance to defeat Louis.
When the time comes, he will secretly hold the fruit in his left hand and crush the fruit in his right hand. Will he not be invincible in the world?
But what he didn't know was that Louis had similar thoughts to him.
This matter, it seems a long time ago, happened after Louis awakened the Shattered Fruit during the battle with Newgate on the Queen of Spring Island.
He found that the fruit he ate was very different.
Maybe it was because the fruit was given to him by the system that had run away, or maybe it was because of the characteristics of the broken fruit.
In short, Louis thinks that he seems to be able to eat a second devil fruit!
Although I don't know why.
But Louis didn't bother to explore this.
After feeling this way, he began to think about what his second Devil Fruit was.
After thinking for a long time, I finally settled on the dark fruit.
This is the mission that Louis assigned to Doflamingo.
The purpose is to find the dark fruit.
Let’s get back to the topic, in short, because of the war on Jam Island, Teach’s top priority for the next fruit is already Louis’ crushed fruit.
If you want to get rid of Louis, it is best to use the power of the Whitebeard Pirates, otherwise, it will be too difficult.
Therefore, during this half-month trip, Tiqi also thought about a lot of things. He changed his mind and did not kill Sachi directly. Instead, he accepted Lucci's suggestion and prepared to chat and communicate with Sachi first. communicate.
Therefore, there was the tentative inquiry just now.
But Sage's emotional words after drinking at this time completely made Teach cut off other thoughts.
As Sage's 'good friend', Teach understands him quite well.
This guy is very stubborn and stubborn. If he says he wants to eat the Dark Fruit, then he will definitely eat it.
Then if he says anything else, it won't have any good effect. On the contrary, it will most likely arouse Saatchi's vigilance.
I won’t talk about the index.
Do it directly!
And Tiqi's ruthless side was also revealed at this time. In the face of his own ambition and such an opportunity, this so-called good friend and the friendship he had built for many years were all in vain.
He is an out-and-out tycoon, cruel and ruthless.
Now that he has decided to snatch Saki's Dark Fruit, Natic also plans to eradicate it.
After all, after snatching it, there is a high probability that the two sides will become enemies. Even if this matter is brought to his father, Thachi will not take care of it. Who said that Thachi got the Dark Fruit first.
So Tiqi weighed it in his mind and roughly simulated some subsequent scenarios. As long as he robbed it, his father would definitely not favor him. Rules were more important than anything else. Even if his father really favored him, then the rest What would the crew think?
Instead of doing this, it would be better for the Whitebeard Pirates to take the initiative to break up, and then find a way to trigger a war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Headquarters, or with other forces.
When the time comes, I sneak into the battlefield, take advantage of the fire, fish in troubled waters, and maybe I can really bring down Louis or Newgate.
Whether he got the Zhenzhen Fruit or the Shattered Fruit, he made a profit, right?
"Then don't blame me for being disrespectful, Thachi..." A ferocious color flashed in Tiqi's eyes, and he murmured secretly in his heart.
But he still said carelessly:
"Hahaha, thief, don't worry. I have the Devil Fruit illustrated book with me, keeping it in a safe place. After this banquet is over, I will get the illustrated book for you and give you the eyes myself.
I hope it's a powerful ability, preferably of the natural type?Or a fantasy beast species?Or perhaps dad’s powerful superhuman type would be great too. "
Seeing this, Sa Qi also put away his emotion just now, patted Tiqi on the shoulder and said: "Yes, it's best to have a powerful ability. Then I can protect you. Tiqi, what will you do in the future?" If you have any trouble, come to me anytime."
At the same time, in the sea not far away from the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Doflamingo's figure fell from the sky and landed on a merchant ship.
Facing the dazed merchant ship crew on the deck, Doflamingo didn't say anything nonsense at all. The parasitic thread burst out from him and instantly controlled everyone on the ship. Then he quickly ate some food. , added moisture.
He had been doing this for more than half a month of pursuit. Whenever he encountered a ship on the way, he would use it to replenish his body's energy.
After the eating and drinking was over, Doflamingo used a parasitic thread to control the captain of the small merchant ship. He raised the corners of his mouth, licked his lower lips, and smiled evilly:
"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"
Although the merchant captain was controlled, he still couldn't stop his trembling body. It was obvious that he recognized Doflamingo at this moment. After all, Doflamingo is a famous figure in the new world...
"I understand..." the captain said tremblingly.
"Very good, have you seen the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates?" Doflamingo asked directly.
The captain was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly said:
"I've seen it, I've seen it! A few days ago, he just walked east from here. I was so scared and thought I was going to die. Who would have thought that they would ignore us at all..."
Of course, he is also very scared now...
"Fufufu, that's because they just had a 'full' meal not long ago...did they go east? Very good..." Doflamingo still said with an evil smile.
The captain also looked at Doflamingo in fear, but Doflamingo did not kill him after all. Then he asked for some details and confirmed that the captain was not lying. His Yaksha-like figure that day quickly Pulled towards the clouds and rushed towards the east...
When Doflamingo started on his way again, the party on Sachi's ship had also ended.
Although he was a bit drunk, Sachi was not really knocked down. After chatting and laughing with Tiqi, he returned to his cabin, and Tiqi also made an appointment with him, and soon he would take the devil Find him in the Fruit Manual.
Returning to his boat, Teach quickly called Lu Qi into the power room inside the boat.
He looked at Lu Qi with a very serious expression and said, "I just tested it out. That guy Sachi has already made up his mind to eat the Dark Fruit, so I have to take action, Lu Qi..."
After a short pause, he added:
"You know what kind of person I am..."
But before he could finish speaking, Lu Qi said:
"Once you attack Thatch, you will never be able to look back. Senior Teach, you will be hunted to the ends of the earth by my father... The only iron rule on our ship is that we cannot harm our companions."
Tiqi was silent for a moment and did not speak. He just looked at Lu Qi with oppressive eyes. After a long time, he suddenly laughed and said: "Hahahaha, you are right, Lu Qi. Dad, he will definitely not You will forgive me, but...so what?"
Then, perhaps because his wish for many years was about to be fulfilled, or perhaps because he was finally released today from his long-term depression, Teach thought boldly:
"The Whitebeard Pirates are no longer the invincible pirate group in the past. There are always places where he can't catch up to the ends of the world, right? What's more... well, I've decided to do this anyway!
And Lu Qi, you are already on my ship. From the time you told Sachi about the caravan, and from the time you left the Moby Dick with me, you have been on my ship. 'Yes.
Lu Qi, now I don’t hide it anymore. Now I ask you again, do you want to follow me and turn this era and this dirty world upside down? ! "
"...Is the confusion turning upside down?" Lu Qi murmured softly, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, if he hadn't met General Louis first, if he had been a pirate since he was a child, a confidant trained by Teach since he was a child, then Teach's highly seductive speech would definitely make his heart beat!
Even at this moment, he was a little excited.
However, Lu Qi stuck to his heart after all.
Of course, he still smiled at Teach on the surface, and said with an expectant expression: "Isn't this an obvious answer? Senior Teach... No, maybe I should call you captain?"
"Hahahaha, thief, captain? It's a good title, but I prefer the title 'Admiral'.
Luqi, just wait and see. I will form a pirate group that is as powerful as the Whitebeard Pirates and as powerful as the former Golden Lion's flying fleet. When the time comes, I will let you come. Become my deputy admiral, thief hahahahaha..." Tiqi laughed wildly.
After laughing, Tiqi calmed down and then said:
"It's a long night and a dream, I'm going to get the devil fruit illustrated book now, and then use this as an excuse to go to Sachi to help him see the devil fruit.
Thief, hahaha, just wait for me here, ready to launch the ship at any time. After the incident is completed, let’s take advantage of the night to escape..."
"Okay, no problem." Lu Qi nodded.
Upon seeing this, Tiqi nodded and turned around to leave without saying anything else.
He still trusts Lu Qi very much, partly because when Lu Qi came to the Whitebeard Pirates, this guy was still a brat, and it was he, Tiqi, who brought him up.
On the other hand, because Lucci is already a Devil Fruit user, Teach feels that he will never compete with him for the Dark Fruit.
These two points were the basis for his trust in Lu Qi.
Otherwise, he would not have brought Lu Qi with him in this operation.
But after Teach left here, Lu Qi put on a meaningful smile and quickly activated his ability. His figure turned into a big cat, elegant and agile, and left the boat silently, rushing ahead of Teach. , came back to Saatchi's ship...
