One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 263 Three Fruits? A Challenge to Hawkeye!

Chapter 263 Three Fruits? A Challenge to Hawkeye!
As Rayleigh spoke, his eyes were already filled with tears.

The Snake (巳蛇) naturally understood why the King of the Underworld was behaving this way at this moment.

Because the truth about Ravdru was now laid bare before him.

He could almost see the Pirate King laughing.

He suddenly understood the choice Roger made in the end.

He chose to surrender, thus ushering in the Great Pirate Era—he revealed the existence of Laugh Tale to the public, causing everyone to set sail for the sea.

Joy Boy left that 'joke' to the next generation of Joy Boy.

Roger did not live in the same era as Joy Boy.

But
His legacy, however, ushered in that era.

"Roger only took a few pieces of sand from the island in the end—he said he wanted to keep them as souvenirs."

Rayleigh shook his head as he finished speaking and turned his gaze to the Snake.

"This is the 'truth' that we, the Roger Pirates, have seen—are you satisfied with this in exchange?"

"."

After hearing Rayleigh's words, Roy fell silent.

The 'truth' that Roger's crew witnessed was of great significance to him.

Although there are still many unclear 'doubts'.

For example, even now, Roy still doesn't quite understand Joey Boy and Davy Jones' specific plans to fight Im.

All he could be certain of was that the 'First World' that Joy Boy eventually went to was definitely a key part of that plan.

“Joy Boy said he would place the world’s hopes on Laugh Tale—now it seems he was referring to the ‘First World’ at the bottom of the ocean.”

"According to his last words, at least three Devil Fruits and three Ancient Weapons are needed to complete his and Davy Jones's plan."

"In addition, the 'seed' kept by the David family on the Abyss is definitely an essential part as well."

Roy pondered to himself.

He almost instinctively recalled the ancient song that Moria had mentioned before in the Devil's Triangle, a song passed down through generations of the Kozuki clan.

On the final island, the colossal entity formed from the black sun will devour it, sounding the drums of liberation.

"Three fruits. The Nika Fruit symbolizes the sun, while the black color symbolizes the 'Dark-Dark Fruit'?"

This aligns with Roy's earlier speculation.

These two special fruits are very likely two of the three fruits that Joy Boy mentioned.

"These three fruits were most likely bestowed upon Davy Jones by Im when the agreement was made between them."

"Since what Im and Davy Jones signed was not a 'contract' but a more equal 'agreement,' these three fruits may be able to break free from Im's 'binding' to some extent."

"The David family must have inherited this information, which is why Blackbeard in the original story was so determined to obtain the 'Dark-Dark Fruit'."

Roy analyzed it this way, and at the same time became even more curious.

First, what happened in Dressrosa convinced him that Blackbeard had given up on the 'Dark-Dark Fruit'.

But now, after getting a glimpse of Joy Boy's plan from Rayleigh, he finds it even more incomprehensible why Blackbeard gave up the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Furthermore, besides the Nika Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit, Roy was also eager to know what the last fruit was and where it was.

What role did the seeds of the Pillars of Creation play in this plan?
"."

Thinking of the huge 'tree pit' in the First World, Roy had some guesses in his mind.

But there is no doubt about it.

"I am very satisfied."

He was already quite satisfied with the information Rayleigh had provided.

So he looked at Rayleigh.

"I will report the matter of Nine Snake Island to the leader, and someone should be able to 'take care of' it in a while."

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh smiled.

Judging from the Snake's reaction, he could guess that the zodiac sign seemed to have learned something from his story.

But clearly, Rayleigh had no intention of asking any further questions.

As he had previously stated, he was already planning to retire.

Informing the Twelve Constellations about Laugh Tale was the last thing he did for this era.

At this moment, outside Nine Serpents Island.

"Hello? What's the situation?"

"Judging from what they just said, 'Pluto' must have lost?"

"I still find it a bit unbelievable. That's Silvers Rayleigh, the Pirate King's right-hand man! Even though he's old, he's still a 'legend,' isn't he?"

"You're a Marine, is it alright for you to idolize pirates like this?"

"It seems the Sword God is even stronger than originally thought!"

On the naval warship, the sailors were discussing amongst themselves. The three vice admirals did not stop them, but instead looked solemnly at Amazon Lily.

They had just witnessed the 'Sword God' sever Rayleigh's sword and knock him down.

The entire Nine-She Island fell into a state of tranquility.

Neither the sounds of battle nor the domineering aura could be heard any further.

So at this moment, they are also waiting for the outcome of the battle.

"The Sword God is not a pirate—if 'Pluto' really loses, then we might have a chance to capture him."

"That's what Onigumo said."

His idea was simple—if he could take this opportunity to capture and execute the Pirate King's right-hand man, it would undoubtedly be a great event that would demonstrate 'justice' for the entire sea.

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, he saw a blue slash transform into a dragon shape and fly out from the distant Nine Serpents Island.

【Frost Moon ·Dragon Shadow】

"boom!"

The slash sliced through the waves in an instant, hurtling in.

"!!!"*3
The three lieutenant generals immediately became serious.

But as vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, their reaction was naturally extremely quick!
"Spider Kill!"

"Iron Block Rat Tail Sword!"

"Three rounds of high-ranking officials!"

The three men drew their swords almost immediately.

Yes, it's somewhat of a coincidence.

The three vice admirals here are Onigumo, who is skilled in the spider-like 'Eight-Sword Style'; Momonga, who created the 'Rat Tail Style'; and Stromberg, who is skilled in the 'Dual-Sword Style'—all three of them are swordsmen!

At that moment, they all swung their swords in unison, meeting the slash head-on.

With each swift movement of their blades, they were giving it their all.

But
"Clang!" *3
The next moment, all three saw that their slashes crumbled almost instantly upon contact with the incoming blue dragon shadow.

Before they could even mount an effective response, the enormous dragon soared past, cleaving their warship and all the surrounding naval vessels in two, starting from the hull!
Their figures, along with those of all the marines, plummeted as the warship was torn apart.

After they finally managed to regain their footing, they had no time to pay attention to the damage around them, and instead turned their wary gaze to the distant Nine-She Island.

To their relief, the incoming slash was a single strike, and no further attacks followed.

But what made their expressions even more solemn was...
They had already seen the figure flying out from Amazon Lily.

Just as they guessed—the one who emerged victorious from the battle on Amazon Lily was 'Sword God'.

But their ideas differed from theirs.

After defeating Hades, this mysterious swordsman did not choose to leave immediately as he had in the past, but instead...
"Sword God, what are you doing?!"

Onigumo watched the figure with outstretched wings, wielding a black sword, approaching relentlessly, and hissed, "We are the Marines, here on orders from the World Government to apprehend criminals—are you attacking us to make an enemy of the world?"

"Attack?"

But at that moment, Onigumo had just finished speaking.

Then he heard the Sword God's calm reply.

"If someone wants to kill you, you will not have the chance to talk to them."

His gaze fell upon the three lieutenant generals below, his words showing complete disregard for Onigumo's threat.

"As for making enemies of the world, I don't mind, but I didn't stop you for such a trivial matter."

He said, "I need your navy to pass on a message for me!"

"Pass on a message!?"

At this moment, the relatively calmer flying squirrel and Storoberry quickly pulled back the angry Onigumo and asked in confusion.

"Yes."

"The Navy definitely knows Hawkeye's whereabouts."

"The Sword God said in a cold voice."
