I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Figo chuckled: "Alright, alright, it's not your place to worry about me, Xiao Kong. I came back under the cover of night and asked you to come see me secretly because there's something else I need you to do... Marine Headquarters, you should have a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, right?"

Kong paused, then nodded: "You want to see?"

“It’s not that I want to see it.” Figo paused for two seconds and said, “Around 10 a.m. tomorrow, a large ship carrying dozens of Devil Fruits and various treasures will sail from the Calm Belt, 200 kilometers to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. Go and gather some trustworthy marines and go to that area tomorrow to collect the goods.”

Why did you so readily leave behind Cheryl Rohringer?

It's all about positioning!

Figo wants to retrieve the Red Poneglyphs, so he doesn't have the spare hands to take Devil Fruits, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want Devil Fruits!

He himself wasn't very interested in Devil Fruits, but the younger generation could greatly improve their strength after eating them. Besides, there was no reason to leave those Devil Fruits to the Celestial Dragons, right?

He felt that if it were him, after learning that the Valley of the Gods had been exposed, he would at least have moved the treasures of the Valley of the Gods away, even if he didn't care about the slaves. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for Figo to take them as he pleased.

Saint Cherrolin, who remained there, would be an excellent candidate to transport the treasure.

How much of the mountain of treasure, rare swords, and Devil Fruits could one person take?

Figo chooses to form a gang and take them all!

Of course, it's also possible that Figo misjudged the situation, that the Five Elders anticipated his move, and that they would be disappointed the next day.

But Figo can also go to God Valley as quickly as possible. Figo has also marked the more powerful Celestial Dragon slaves in God Valley!

If Figo can get away with this by feinting, then I'll admit defeat and consider the Five Elders to have won a round against him!

Kong stood there stunned for a long while.

Dozens of Devil Fruits? Since when did extremely rare Devil Fruits, worth hundreds of millions, become counted in the dozens? Heading to the Holy Land?

After a moment of realization, he understood what was meant and stared at Figo in shock.

Wasn't it supposed to be a four-month truce?

Chapter 92 53 Devil Fruits

Wow, that's amazing!

Lingling carefully took a dough figurine from Ba Jin's hands, her big eyes shining as she looked at the lifelike figure. She then carefully placed it between two other dough figurines—one of Mia and the other of Figo, a family of three.

Then, with a clap of her hands, flour flew through the air as she enthusiastically declared, "Next, let Lingling sculpt a statue of Sister Ba Jin!"

Standing to the side, Ba Jin smugly said, "Making a dough figurine is easy. I can learn it in no time. I can even make that guy's chains!"

Thinking of this, her eyelids suddenly twitched again, and she sighed inwardly, "What am I doing? I wanted to become a famous pirate, but how did I end up at Marine Headquarters playing with a kid?"

That day on Pleasure Street, she sensed something was wrong. When she saw Lingling being taken away by CP0, she gritted her teeth and followed. This choice ultimately saved her own life, but afterwards, she had no choice. No one considered her opinion, and she gloriously became Lingling's little follower.

Well, at least this kid has some conscience; he knows to create a replica of me... Hmm, where am I?

She looked up, staring blankly at Lingling's empty hands, then at the chewing motion in Lingling's mouth, and murmured, "Eaten?"

Lingling looked guilty: "I didn't make it well, but the taste of Sister Ba Jin... is quite good."

Heh. Ba Jin was internally hysterical.

"Lingling, you can't eat raw noodles." Mia's voice came from the living room: "Also, your Grandpa Figo is back."

"Really?!" Lingling's face lit up with surprise, and she ran out quickly.

She opened the door, and sure enough, Figo was standing outside. She cheered and rushed into Figo's arms. Figo took the opportunity to crouch down and hug Lingling's legs, picking her up in his arms.

"You seem to have grown a little taller and heavier. It looks like Sister Mia has been buying you a lot of good food," Figo said with a smile, lifting her up in his hand.

With Figo's arms around her, Lingling's head almost touched the ceiling. She had obviously never been held like this before. She was stunned for a moment, then happily hugged Figo's neck... If it were anyone else, they probably would have died on the spot.

Figo had it easy.

Although it's a bit strange to hold a child who is several sizes bigger than yourself, as long as he's not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

He turned his head and smiled at Mia. Decades of tacit understanding allowed Mia to immediately sense the confidence in Figo's smile, and her worries about the increasingly urgent situation in recent days immediately subsided.

No need to ask more questions, no need to rush.

She just laughed and said, "Put Lingling down quickly. I can smell the seawater on you from afar. Did you catch sea monsters again? I have two sets of your old clothes here. You should still be able to wear them. Go wash them first."

Upon hearing this, Lingling took a deep breath, and drool suddenly seeped from the corner of her mouth: "And there's roasted meat! Grandpa Figo still smells of roasted meat on him!"

Figo put her down: "Lingling, you should have eaten your fill tonight. Tomorrow, Grandpa Figo will grill some meat for you."

"Hmm!" Lingling patted her tummy, responding with a hint of regret, then asked, "By the way, where's Grandpa Fatty? Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, Bagington, who was crouching by the door, looked nervous, yet also somewhat gloating. "You dare..."

“He’s dead,” Figo said.

"Really?" Lingling said sadly, and whispered, "Grandpa Fatty doesn't seem like a bad person."

Huh? That's all the reaction you've got? Ba Jin asked in surprise.

Although 10-year-old Lingling's speech and mental development appear to be like that of a five or six-year-old child, it would be a mistake to treat her as a child entirely.

After all, she trained at CP0 for five years and knew everything she needed to know. Moreover, with her extremely strong Observation Haki, it would be a waste if she couldn't even see the tension between Figo and the King of Gluttony.

She clearly preferred Figo to Gluttony and was also very sensible.

"So, how about Lingling and Grandpa work together to give people like Fatty Grandpa, who want to be good people but don't have the chance, a chance to be good people?" Figo patted her gently to comfort her. "Grandpa Figo will go take a shower first, and then he'll spend time with Lingling later."

He quickly washed up and changed into clean clothes. Mia looked him over and teased, "Now that's more like the 'Naval King.' The Impel Down jailers might not care about your previous appearance, but the marines would be disappointed."

Figo straightened his clothes and said, "He is indeed handsome, as expected of me. Here's what we'll do, Mia, can you help me make a sign and put it up in front of your house tomorrow? It will say, 'Naval King Gaston Figo is here. Please pay 10000 Berries to visit.' We'll earn some money for Lingling's food so she can eat well."

Mia smiled.

Lingling's eyes lit up: "Really? Someone will pay you? Lingling will write it! Can I write more, 100,000 Berries?"

"Hahaha……"

Laughter immediately filled the room.

……

The next morning, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the atmosphere among the Five Elders was deathly silent.

Listening to Figo's voice in the Den Den Mushi, they were filled with anger and disgust.

And there's a profound sense of powerlessness.

“It was quite an accident; Saint Cherrolin has been captured by me for the second time. Let’s talk.”

Screw you!

"My conditions this time are very simple. Let me see... 1, 2, 3... Hmm, I want 53 Devil Fruits, 13 top-tier swords, and some miscellaneous fancy weapons..."

"Utterly arrogant!" Raiola slammed the Den Den Mushi shut, too lazy to listen anymore.

Just tell me you want that whole ship of stuff!

We were so careless. We thought that Figo only carried that one stone tablet because he didn't care about the other things. After all, stone tablets are not easy to move. If Figo wanted them, he could have taken some other treasures first and then gone back to get the stone tablet.

I didn't expect Figo to try and take them all down!

The item is already lost, so there's no point in arguing anymore. What can five people do to Figo if he broke his promise of a four-month truce?

The key question is what to do next.

"What exactly is his method of pinpointing other people's locations from such a long distance? No one has ever developed their Observation Haki to that extent before. Even Lord Cheryl didn't realize he was being watched! Damn it!"

"They might have tampered with the body of Saint Mendespin, but we must also be wary of Saint Tycottamp, whom he released earlier..."

"Yes! The Valley of the Gods has already been exposed. What if that guy finds the Mountain of the Gods again..."

The five people were still shaken.

Raiola said bitterly, "I don't want to live like this for another day! He's at Marine Headquarters now, not far away, Lord Im really can't..."

Saint Neilboro shook his head: "Lord Im is very reluctant to leave the Flower Garden now; I'm afraid he can no longer conceal his body odor. If Figo hadn't said he would come to the World Conference in a little over three months, Lord Im might still..."

"So... we just have to endure it?"

"We have no choice but to endure it! It's only three months! During these three months, we will warn your juniors that no one is allowed to leave the Holy Land! We will ignore all the Navy's operations and pretend we don't see them. After three months, we will take back everything!"

"hateful……"

……

Meanwhile, Figo bid farewell to Cheryl Rohrmann once again and returned to the ship of harvest.

Marshal Kong personally led his fleet here and personally counted the dazzling 53 fruits, comparing them with the illustrations.

"How was the harvest, Xiao Kong?"

"There is only one Logia-type Devil Fruit, while there are the most Zoan-type fruits, with 34. I wonder if there are any Mythical Zoan types among them... There are 18 Paramecia-type fruits, but only half of them are listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

Logia-type Devil Fruits are relatively high quality, and the Celestial Dragons digest them internally; having even one is considered good. Figo looked at them and asked:

"What kind of Logia-type fruit is this? Are there any other particularly good ones?"

"It's a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit. Among the other fruits... this Paramecia-type Hormone Fruit, according to records, has excellent medical effects and can save lives in critical situations, but... it's prone to causing some side effects. And then there's this one..."

Old Sand and the Transgender King? Figo was taken aback.

"How should we arrange these fruits?"

Chapter Ninety-Three: Let's Have a Chat While Handcuffed

"Lord Naval King is back?"

"Really?!"

At the naval headquarters, several marines on duty near the dock were chatting together when they suddenly heard the news, and their expressions became excited.

The marine, under the watchful eyes of everyone, was a little nervous but forced a confident tone, saying, "Of course it's true! My neighbor's brother-in-law's father was a former subordinate of Vice Admiral Ferlow. How could his information be false? Didn't you see that there weren't many officers of the rank of colonel or above passing by today? They must have been summoned by the Navy King!"

"It seems so..."

"I'm so envious! I really want to meet that legendary figure. I heard he was a naval hero who captured a great pirate 35 years ago..."

"I heard that his strength alone is even greater than the combined strength of all the marines in our Navy Headquarters. I wonder how powerful he is..."

The soldiers envisioned a tall and imposing figure with three heads and six arms.

The marine who initially brought the news couldn't resist adding, "Not only that, I heard that Lord Navy King has collected hundreds of Devil Fruits during his month-long trip. All the officers and generals who were summoned by him were able to obtain the appropriate abilities!"

"Devil Fruits? Hundreds of them?!"
