One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 161 The Momo Fruit changes hands, but it's not Wald

"The gap...how...can it be...so big!"

Moriah's eyes were bloodshot and he was pinned to the beach, unable to move.

He struggled to resist, but the five-meter-tall bear man crushed him like a mountain, and the originally soft sand became as hard as stone under the intense pressure and friction.

The amplitude of his struggles became smaller and smaller, and the parts of his body that could move became increasingly limited.

In the end, he couldn't move his body even a centimeter. He could only struggle with his hands and feet, enduring the pain and twisting and hitting Tru who was pressing on him.

"No!"

"Help, Captain!"

"Damn it, I can't resist at all, I can't see their movements clearly!"

“Woo woo woo, the beautiful vision has just begun!”

The sound behind him was getting smaller and smaller. Moria couldn't see the situation behind him clearly, but he could guess a little.

There were screams and wails, but no begging for mercy.

"Damn it, you bastards in the navy, I..."

"Don't worry, Moria. We are going to capture you alive. Your companions will be fine, but they will have to spend a few years in jail with you."

Before Moriah could sink into sorrow, Tru interrupted him with a silly smile, twisted his hips twice, and squeezed Moriah's bones so hard that they creaked.

hateful……

Moria was crushed to tears, but he was also relieved. Just capture them alive? His companions might have just fainted and not been slaughtered.

But why?

The navy can claim the reward as long as they have the head, so the life or death of the pirates is actually not important. It is best to capture them alive, but if not, that's fine too.

Only those with special abilities would follow the principle of catching but not killing. Moria had some understanding of this.

But he didn't think about it too much. As long as everyone could survive, that was more important than anything else.

He could accept his companions' death in pursuit of their dreams, and he could accept their glorious death in battle, but he could not accept their meaningless death.

The entire battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the entire Moria Pirate Group was captured.

"Take a nap. We'll have dinner when you wake up."

Tru saw that the rest of the people had almost finished their work. All the ordinary pirates were tied up with ropes and thrown into a pile.

He did not stand up, but winked at Potter who was still maintaining the eagle form beside him.

Potter understood, stretched out his bird claws and pressed on the back of Moria's head!
The sudden force made Moria's eyes go dark. Before he could come to his senses, his whole body suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and a huge fist appeared behind his head.

"bump!"

The iron fist smashed down, and Moria was knocked unconscious by the punch, unable to get up again!
"Hello, this is the communications room of the 67th Marine Division. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Tohru, a lieutenant colonel at the Marine Headquarters. We are currently in the approximate location of... the sea area... There is a group of pirates who have been subdued here, the Moria Pirates, who have a bounty of 30 million. Tell your base commander to quickly send an escort ship over!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Tru! Okay, no problem. The base commander is in his office right now. He has been collecting information about you these days. I will notify him immediately!"

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, Tru threw it into the arms of his teammate beside him, and after returning to his human form, he sat on Moriah.

The 67th branch was the branch they were in at the time.

The four sea divisions of the Navy share a sequence number, but it is not in order, but is arranged according to the order in which they were built.

Furthermore, whether it is destroyed or not will not affect the sequence. Unless it is specially adjusted, it will still inherit the current serial number after being rebuilt on the original site.

Tru was not in a good temper, because the Marines in that branch were all bad. If the top was not upright, the subordinates would be crooked too. There was no need to speak to them in a friendly tone of reporting a mission. The right thing to do was to do whatever made him feel good.

Things here have come to an end.

In the sky, Ross was sitting on a cloud, holding a blank notebook and a pen and writing. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well translate some of the Analects of Confucius first, and then there were some classic sentences.

Ross was not a top student in his previous life. The vocabulary he could remember was limited, so he could only translate and write as much as possible.

"Well, the Moria matter has come to an end. Tru and the others have gained enough experience. We can spend the rest of our time in some marginal branches and rectify the atmosphere in the East China Sea."

He felt the movement ending below, paused to write, and then spoke slowly.

I always feel that every time he takes these little guys out on a field trip, he'll run into something "familiar".

Perhaps it’s because the waves of this era are about to reach their peak?

There are only a few years left before Roger's death. The sea is not calm now, and many people who will be familiar to you in the future are beginning to show their own talents.

For example, Marco, the "Phoenix" of the Whitebeard Pirates, has a huge bounty now, and his mythical beast-type devil fruit has attracted great attention from the Navy and the World Government.

If he hadn't been by Whitebeard's side almost all day and had air superiority and high mobility, they would have sent people to target him with all their strength long ago.

There are also "Hawkeye" Mihawk and "Sea Man" Jinbe, who both began to show their prowess under the adventure team formed by their son Alexander, and defeated several pirates with bounties of tens of millions or even just over 100 million on the Grand Line.

And there is also the former Shichibukai who Ace will defeat in the future, an ancient devil fruit user and collector, who is also one of the people that Rose is waiting to fatten up and slaughter, and he is also beginning to emerge.

The only thing that made Ross curious was Bondiwald. He hadn't caused any trouble so far, and even the bounty on him was only a pitiful 20 million, which was not even as high as Moria's.

As the owner of the Momo Fruit in the original work, Ross had done some investigation on him, or in other words, he had investigated some of the more dangerous criminals in the original work.

As the first pirate who dared to kill the Celestial Dragons between 1491 and 1493 in the original novel, such a reward is too shabby.

He should have eaten the Momo Fruit for several years by now! He shouldn't be so unknown.

Unless... the Momo Fruit chooses a new owner, but who would that be?
Ross was very curious, would the devil fruits in the original book also choose a new master? Could it be among their own children? This was the most likely possibility!

After all, the orphans he adopted were all locals, and they were not "factors" that should not exist in this world.

But except for his eldest son Yatuo and his second son Alexander, his other children did not seem to be old enough to eat the fruit.

wrong!

In the original novel, Nico Robin ate the Flower-Flower Fruit when she was very young! The choice of a Devil Fruit's master has nothing to do with age. It will appear when it is time.

"No matter what, they are my own children. With Barrett on Yun Island, nothing will happen. He will contact me. With Zhan Guo on Walter's side, it doesn't matter much.

As for Yatuo, I have already told him that I will find the Golden-Gold Fruit for him. It will take at least 8 years for the fruit to appear.

Is that Alexander? He's out there now, and the chances of him encountering the Momo Fruit are very high."

Ross put down the notebook and pen, and after a while he turned to the last blank page of the notebook and slowly wrote down the development direction of the Momo Fruit.

If he could get the Momo Fruit, and if there was no suitable mythical beast-type devil fruit, he would just give it to Barrett to eat.

He believed that his children would definitely consult him on such an important matter, unless the devil fruit was unethical and directly possessed the fruit in their hands.

Although the Momo Fruit cannot compare to the blessing of the mythical beasts for strong physical fighters, it is also extremely good for domineering monsters and physical masters like Barrett.

He could easily magnify the mass and volume of the weapon in his hand by a hundred times, and then use armed color domineering to fight the enemy.

In low-end games, he can mow down enemies without any slashing, and in high-end games, he can also deal considerable damage.

Another thing is that the Momo Fruit increases one's own speed and can also boost strength, which can be regarded as the youth version of the Sparkling Fruit!

No matter who eats the Momo Fruit, Ross will have reason to customize some development directions and ideas for him to avoid wasting meaningless time.

…………

"Is this a devil fruit? I just picked up an apple and it turned into a fruit? It's amazing!"

When Walter got home and was about to wash an apple to eat, the washed apple in his hand suddenly began to change a second before he put it in his mouth.

Fortunately, he has quick reaction, otherwise he would have become a person with special abilities!

This is not good. He has heard from his sister Mona that she almost went berserk once. If her body is too small, she will not be able to perfectly control the power of the fruit.

After a long time, Walter placed the fruit on the table in front of him and looked at it carefully.

This is an entirely black apple, covered with orderly circles of spiral patterns, completely different from the disordered patterns of ordinary devil fruits.

Especially the apple orange above, the top is cracked into two halves, one shaped like a + and the other shaped like a -, very strange.

"No, I have to inform Dad! It's like this devil fruit found me, it's too weird!"

After observing for a while and memorizing the general appearance of the fruit, Walter first found a corner to hide it, then got up and ran towards the headquarters building.

Walter's thinking is different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people might just think that this is an accident or even a chance, but he thinks it is a bit too deliberate and coincidental.

Something is wrong. It's absolutely wrong!

Dad is one of the few people who have awakened the Devil Fruit. He should know about this, right?
Walter was just a child after all. When he encountered something beyond his understanding, the first person he thought of was his almost omniscient father in his memory.

Not long after, he arrived at the headquarters building. It was almost time for lunch, and many sailors were filing out of the building.

But after seeing the little guy Walter, they all consciously made way for him. They had heard that this magical little guy was doing something to promote justice!

At this time, he should be looking for the Warring States general again, right?
