Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

There was indeed a uniquely shaped... fruit inside!

No, it is indeed a Devil Fruit.

Xia Che looked surprised for a moment, then looked up at Mo Ke and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

Although I was a little surprised, something good had already happened today, so there was no need to be too excited.

"I got this from the group we brought back last time," Moke scratched his head, seemingly recalling something, and frowned as he said, "That old man... I think he mentioned... oh right, we got it in the forest!"

As Moke recounted his fragmented memories, Xia Che finally understood what had happened.

In short, it was something an old man accidentally found in the forest, and then Mok brought it back with him and the item.

only.

Because they were in such a hurry, they completely forgot about it.

Xia Che nodded, not paying any attention to Moke's stumbling memories, and picked up the Devil Fruit from the treasure chest, examining it curiously.

At this time.

Having finally finished explaining, Moke also curiously came over and looked at the Devil Fruit in Boss Shache's hand with the same curiosity.

Moke knew about Devil Fruits; aside from Robin, he had seen quite a few Devil Fruit users during this time.

For example, the bear...

He really liked Big Bear's abilities, thinking that if he had Big Bear's abilities, it wouldn't be so troublesome to capture people. He could just slap them and send whoever he wanted to the boss.

Unfortunately, that was already Bear's ability.

As for Devil Fruits... this was the first time he had ever seen one.

Moke blinked, asking in confusion, "I heard this thing is worth at least a hundred million Berries?"

The voice just fell.

Before Xia Che could say anything...

"What? One hundred million Berries? Where is one hundred million Berries?" Nami's curious voice came from behind. Then, as if sensing something was wrong, she looked around in confusion. "Where's Robin? Why isn't she here today?"

"Ahem, it's nothing." Xia Che coughed twice, looked at Nami who walked in, waved the Devil Fruit in his hand, changed the subject, and said, "This is 100 million Berries."

"Devil Fruit?!"

Nami, whose attention was immediately drawn to the fruit, stopped worrying about where Robin had gone and turned to look at the strange fruit in Shattrath's hand. Her eyes lit up and she curiously leaned closer.

Having seen the world, she now naturally knows what a Devil Fruit is.

He even met several Devil Fruit users, just like Moke, who was seeing a Devil Fruit that hadn't been eaten yet for the first time.

just.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Mok brought it!"

After Xia Che's brief explanation, Nami finally understood where this thing came from. Then, as if remembering something, she said with some emotion, "I never expected to be so lucky."

She pouted again, her voice tinged with melancholy, "If I had found something like this back then, maybe I wouldn't have had to work so hard!"

"Don't even think about it. The dragon and Colonel Rat won't let you go." Xia Che interrupted Nami's fantasy with annoyance. "They'll just steal all the money you've saved up, and then make you start saving up all over again!"

The words fell.

“That’s right, those guys will definitely try to steal it.” Hearing Shache’s words, Nami seemed to recall how she had saved up enough money, but the dragon hadn’t kept his promise. She sighed, then raised her fist and said angrily, “Damn it, I should have given that dragon and that rat a good beating back then!”

She was extremely desperate after learning that the dragon and the rat colonel were in cahoots.

But then

As if remembering something, Nami's lips curled up slightly, and a grin appeared on her face.

At least……

In her moment of despair, she met her own companion.

Everyone is doing better and better now, so she is very happy. The only regret is that... Bellemere can no longer see it.

"One hundred million Berries?" Nami, having composed herself, turned her gaze back to the ocean treasure, blinking her eyes and asking curiously, "What kind of Devil Fruit is this? On the high seas, a Devil Fruit is worth at least one hundred million Berries, but I've also heard that some fruits are completely useless. If you accidentally eat one, not only will it be useless, but it will also make you unable to swim!"

"What kind of power does this Devil Fruit have?" Hearing Nami's question, Moke curiously leaned over, scratched his head, and carefully examined the Devil Fruit. "Is it useful or useless?"

Just as the two were watching curiously.

Xia Che took another sip of his black tea and said, "I do know about the power of this Devil Fruit."

He had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia; Robin even had one in her collection!

I never expected to actually encounter this fruit.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly.

Nami and Moke immediately looked up and stared intently at Shache.

"What kind of fruit is this? Could it be a valuable Logia-type fruit?"

"Boss, can I eat it? I've never tasted a Devil Fruit before!"

"..."

Xia Che stared speechlessly at the two people in front of him.

One person's eyes gleamed, while another drooled.

Speaking of which, the strongest Devil Fruit circulating on the high seas right now is the Logia type, but he knows that... in the later stages, the version's chosen one will become the Mythical Zoan type.

As for the Devil Fruit in front of us...

Xia Che looked at Mo Ke with a strange expression and said, "You can eat it if you want!"

"Huh? Can I really have some?"

“Of course you can, but this ability…” Looking at Mok, who was excitedly preparing to taste the Devil Fruit, Xia Che hesitated for a moment and said, “The Silence-Silence Fruit, you probably won’t like it.”

"The Fruit of Silence?" Mok scratched his head, looking at Shacher in confusion. "What is this?"

"The Fruit of Silence..."

That's right, this one is the Fruit of Silence!

Trafalgar Law's adoptive father, Corazon, was once a fruit of his labor.

A fruit that can create a soundproof barrier invisible to the naked eye, blocking out all external sounds, so that people inside the soundproof barrier cannot hear any external sounds, and those outside cannot hear any internal sounds.

Unexpectedly, instead of finding it, Xiao Luo found his adoptive father's fruit!

As for this fruit, it's not entirely useless; it does have some use, but as for its usefulness, ordinary people have no idea how to use it.

Although the extent to which a Devil Fruit's power can be utilized depends on the user's own strength, and some people on the high seas even shout, "There are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless users!", most people can't figure out how to develop such a seemingly useless fruit.

Anyway, Corazon is very effective at improving sleep quality...

"..."

Upon hearing Xia Che's explanation, the burly Mok looked at the Silent Fruit with disdain.

He's already the most discreet man on the sea; there's no need for him to keep his mouth shut anymore.

Nami, upon hearing this, also lost interest and pouted, "What's the use of this thing? Why don't we sell it?"

I thought I was just lucky and it was a Logia-type Devil Fruit!

however.

At this time.

Just when neither of them was interested in the Devil Fruit.

"No, this Devil Fruit is actually quite useful." Xia Che, holding the Silence-Silence Fruit, narrowed his eyes and a slight smile played on his lips. "I have a crazy plan!"

Looking down at the Silence Fruit in his hand, his eyes lit up slightly, and under the puzzled gazes of Nami and Moke, he spoke with a meaningful tone.

"If we succeed, we'll have everything!"

The voice just fell.

"?!"

Upon hearing that it had everything, Nami, who had initially been somewhat disdainful, immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at the fruit in Shattrath's hand, excitedly asking, "What plan?"

"Stealing...someone!"

Chapter 64 It’s you

Nowadays.

The 16th Naval Branch was bustling with activity.

It was that time of the month again for performance evaluation and commendation, so everyone in the 16th branch of the Navy was full of energy early in the morning, with expectant and excited smiles on their faces.

"I wonder who will win the title of outstanding model worker this time?"

"Let's not even think about it. I heard the selection process is a little different this month."

"That's right, that's right, I've heard that this selection process isn't easy. It seems that you have to have mastered at least one of the six styles, or the Silent Step, to be eligible for a nomination!"

"That's it, I don't know anything, it's too difficult! From today onwards, I must study the Silent Step properly."

"..."

But Kro didn't pay much attention to the lively scene before him, simply watching calmly.

After recognizing the truth and gaining everyone's recognition through his persistent care for the sick little girl, he successfully became a full-fledged employee.

Now he has become a formal training instructor in the 16th Division of the Navy, teaching marines at the training camp how to use silent footwork and some combat techniques.

Of course, he will also teach him one of the Six Styles of the Navy, Shave. After seeing the training materials of the 16th Branch of the Navy last time, he quickly learned Shave based on his understanding of Silent Step. Although he is not yet proficient, it is enough to teach the group of guys in front of him.

Thinking of this, Chloe sighed inwardly.

The commander of the 16th Naval Base—Colonel Shacher—is really bold!

They dared to openly publish training manuals that were not supposed to be circulated within the Navy Headquarters, simply by changing the name and turning them into training materials for the branch.
