After correcting the direction to Rogue Town according to the nautical chart and compass provided by Nami, El also lay down on the deck and began to take a nap.
Until late at night, a sudden cannon shot broke the silence and woke Al up from his dream.
"Pirate ship over there, stop and hand over your food, or I will let you die in the sea!"
In the distance, a huge, dilapidated sailing ship was looming in the darkness, with wisps of green smoke coming out of the cannons on one side.
Fortunately, the shot did not hit the hull, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
The girls who heard the loud noise of the artillery shells woke up and walked out of the cabin to see what had happened.
"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of short-sighted pirates who want to steal our food," El soothed.
"Since your ship is already in tatters, just sink it to the bottom of the sea."
Looking at the approaching ship, El transformed into a blue dragon and spurted out countless sharp wind blades, cutting the ship into pieces.
As the big ship gradually sank into the sea, Al discovered that at the stern, there was a small boat trying to escape the scene under the cover of night.
"Since you have chosen to take action, you must be prepared to fail. You can't escape."
Riding the flaming cloud, he flew towards the small boat that was trying to escape.
With a breath of hot air, the boat and the people on board were engulfed in flames.
The pirates who had fainted after being burned by the heat were captured and brought back to the ship and tied up together.
"Captain, are you still human? How did you turn into such a huge dragon?" Nami couldn't help asking with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
El turned around and smiled, "This is the power of a devil fruit. Kaya and I are both users of devil fruits. If you also want this kind of power, I can help you find a fruit that suits you in the future."
Nami opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Are you talking about the devil fruit worth hundreds of millions? Kaya, what kind of devil fruit did you eat? Can it also change its form like El?"
Keya said shyly, "My fruit is quite ordinary. It just makes my skin smoother and more beautiful."
After hearing this, Nami couldn't help but exclaimed: "That's the ability that girls dream of, right? I've always envied you for being so beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be the ability of a devil fruit."
In the night, the lights on the deck softly illuminated their faces, and Keya's velvety skin looked even more crystal clear under the light.
"Girls, go back and get some rest. I will interrogate these pirates and send them to the naval base tomorrow."
"Good night, Captain." Nami and Nojiko smiled at each other, said goodbye to El, and returned to the cabin with Kaya.
Their expressions revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal, and they wanted to learn more about the abilities of the Devil Fruit.
Chapter 11 Inviting Dashiqi (Please recommend and collect)
After some interrogation, Al learned that these people were actually the remnants of the Creek Pirates.
More than a week ago, they had just set foot on the Grand Line when they encountered Hawkeye Mihawk and were almost wiped out.
Because they were extremely hungry, they decided to rob and targeted El's new ship, which was flying the flag of an unknown pirate group.
"You really overestimate your own abilities. In that case, you can be my welcome gift to Colonel Smoker. Want to eat? The prison food there is enough to fill your stomach."
After enjoying the breakfast carefully prepared by Nojigo, the group arrived at the naval base in Rogue Town.
Nami is responsible for contacting the navy and exchanging pirate bounties.
Al requested an appointment with Colonel Smoker.
Soon, a soldier in navy uniform came and led Al to Smoker's office.
Smoker had two thick cigars in his mouth. Amidst the smoke, he stared at Al with his usual domineering eyes and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Al looked directly at the other man and said, "Colonel Smoker, I am Al from Shields Town. This time I came here to invite a sailor from Rogue Town to go to sea with me."
Smoker raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by Al's appearance: "It turns out to be you, kid. You can even get Kuzan to come and say hello in person. Tell me, who do you want?"
"If possible, I would like to go out to sea with Sergeant Dashiqi."
After hearing this, Smoker frowned, and said with an unquestionable firmness: "That woman won't work. Although she is a little slow, she is a capable assistant I brought from the headquarters. I don't feel comfortable handing her over to a stranger."
Al didn't expect that he would be rejected just as the matter was getting started.
Otherwise, think about it, Smoker is just such a reckless person and will not compromise easily.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only person with the ability of a nature fruit in the entire navy besides the admiral, but only hold the position of colonel.
So he decided to try another method. "Colonel Smoker, if I can get the consent of Sergeant Dashiqi herself, can I take her with me?"
Smoker was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Al to make such a suggestion. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
"Although she is my subordinate, if she is willing to follow you, I will not stop her. However, you should give up. That slow-witted woman has always upheld the justice of the navy. It is impossible for her to follow you and become a pirate."
After getting Smoker's confirmation, Al already had a plan in mind. All these plots of One Piece were not watched in vain.
"Then please let me meet Sergeant Dashigi!"
Smoker responded calmly, "She should have gone to get the knife this morning. You can wait for her at the base, or go to the street to find her yourself."
"Then I'll take my leave, Captain Smoker. I need to take my crew on a tour of the Pirate King's hometown."
"Go, I'll give the orders. The navy here won't attack you." Smoker waved his hand, indicating that Al could leave.
After leaving the naval base, they first went to buy some daily necessities needed on the ship and asked the boss to arrange for them to be delivered to the naval base, and then they would move them back to the ship themselves.
After purchasing these utensils, under the leadership of Nami, El and his group went straight to various clothing stores in the town.
Earning tens of millions of berries overnight made Nami, Nojiko and Kaya feel more at ease when shopping and they enjoyed the fun of shopping to the fullest.
For the next morning, Al became a loyal taster of the drinks offered by the owners of various clothing stores, while also not forgetting to play the role of an automatic answering robot.
“This one looks great!”
"This is a nice one, it looks good on you."
"It looks great on you!"
“Excellent!”
"very beautiful!"
He kept repeating these words of praise, encouraging the three girls to make their choices.
For him, now that he has become a pirate, Berry is the thing he has the most.
If you go along this Grand Line, you will find gold, silver, treasures and various bounties on the pirates. With their own strength, they can definitely earn enough berries to cover the expenses of these girls.
Under Nami's guidance, Kaya, who was going on a long journey for the first time, had a lot of fun and bought a lot of new clothes.
When they had almost finished their walk and were about to find a restaurant to reward their hungry stomachs, Al suddenly saw Sergeant Tashigi, who was wearing glasses and holding the sharp sword Shigure.
He picked up the three large packages on his back and blocked Dashigi's way.
"Hello, Sergeant Dashiki, my name is Al, I just came from Colonel Smoker and I want to discuss something with you."
Dashiqi raised her eyes and looked up in surprise, "Really? I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk?" Al suggested.
Under Nami's guidance, they entered an elegantly decorated restaurant.
Several people sat around a dining table, and Al introduced Nojiko, Nami and Kaya to Tashigi one by one.
"It's like this, Sergeant Tashigi. I have accepted a special mission from the Marine Headquarters and I need your assistance. I have already communicated with Captain Smoker, and it will be fine as long as you agree."
Dashigi seemed a little confused. "Secret mission? But I'm just an ordinary sergeant in the headquarters. I shouldn't be able to help you with anything."
Al looked around and said in a low voice: "Actually, the order I received was to form a pirate group to go to the New World to obtain the latest pirate intelligence. I invited Sergeant Dashigi to join because our team lacks a swordsman like you. I hope you can fight alongside us."
After hearing this, Dashiqi said modestly: "It's just that my strength is not strong, so I may not be able to provide much help."
"You can do it, Miss Tashigi. As long as we defeat the pirates, all the seized swords will be yours." Al said in a somewhat tempting tone.
Dashiqi asked curiously, "How do you know I like famous swords?"
El explained: "It is precisely because I have heard of you that I want to invite you to go to sea with me. Only a swordsman like you can be trusted with our backs."
There was a hint of hesitation in Dashiqi's eyes, and she whispered, "But my strength is really not good enough, let me think about it again."
Al smiled and replied, "Okay, Sergeant Dashiqi, just take your time to think about it."
At this time, when the food was brought to the table one by one by the waiters, everyone enjoyed the food and the fatigue from shopping was immediately diluted a little.
Just as Al was about to enjoy his meal, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure outside the window. It was Bartolomeo.
His unique green cockscomb hairstyle was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. As the biggest gangster boss in the vicinity, he was now strolling unscrupulously on the street with a group of younger brothers.
Chapter 12 Obtaining the Barrier Fruit (Please recommend and collect)
Bartolomeo, who was originally the gang leader of Rogue Town, became Luffy's die-hard fan after witnessing the execution of Luffy in Rogue Town.
El's focus is not on this, but on the barrier fruit ability that Bartolomeo will possess in the future.
I don’t know whether Bartolomeo has obtained this fruit now.
Al opened his system interface and began editing a new task, trying to see if he could use it to find the barrier fruit.
[Mission Name: Tracking the Trace of the Barrier Fruit]
[Task type: Search for objects]
[Mission Objective: Search for the Barrier Fruit hidden in Rogue Town]
[Quest Reward: Barrier Fruit]
"System, the task setting has been completed, please generate it now."
[The system confirms that the task reward matches, and the task has been successfully created]
With the system's confirmation, Al's heart settled down.
He said to everyone, "Wait for me here for a while. I'm going to look for something. If I'm not back soon, you and Tashigi should go back to the naval base first. I'll come as soon as possible."
After saying that, Al left the restaurant first and ran towards the central square of Rogue Town.
The better to fight for the Devil Fruit sooner rather than later. If someone else gets there first and swallows it, it will be troublesome.
Standing in front of the execution stand in the center of the square, Al looked around, confirmed his position, and said silently in his heart: "System, activate detection skills."
[Detection skill has been activated, duration is 10 seconds, two times remaining. ]
As the system detection skill was activated, a number "1576" appeared in his field of vision.
Al paced back and forth according to the prompts, and after confirming the direction, he quickly moved towards the location indicated by the numbers.
As the distance shortened, he came to a place called Gambia Orchard.
After making sure that there was no one around, he leaped lightly into the orchard and began to search carefully for the barrier fruit.
Shortly after Al successfully found and quietly took the fruit away, Bartolomeo came to the orchard with a few of his brothers.
"Mother-in-law, we are here to help you pick fruit." Bartolomeo's voice sounded outside the orchard.
Here, he put away his gang leader's aura, transformed himself into a well-behaved helper, and concentrated on helping to pick fruits.
However, without his knowledge, the opportunity that originally belonged to him had been taken away by Al.
When Al returned to the restaurant, Kaya, Nami, Nojiko and Tashigi had already finished their lunch and were leisurely drinking tea and chatting.
Seeing Al coming in, Nami immediately raised her hand and said excitedly: "Captain, Miss Dashiqi has agreed to join our team."
"Really? That's great." Al responded in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be such good progress during the time he was away.
Nami had a smug look on her face and said proudly, "Of course, don't you see whose credit it is."
"Thank you, Nami." El expressed his gratitude sincerely, and then said: "I also have good news to tell you."
As he spoke, Al took out the devil fruit he had just found in the orchard from his pocket, placed it on a plate on the table, washed it with tea, and handed it to Nojigo.
"This... is this a devil fruit?" Tashigi looked at the strange fruit in El's hand in surprise, her eyes full of curiosity and disbelief.
"Yes, Nojigo, this fruit should be a barrier fruit. I think it is most suitable for you to eat." El explained.
Then, he turned to Nami and said, "Nami, I know a fruit that is very suitable for you. When we reach the Grand Line, we will go find it together."
Nojiko took the fruit and asked curiously, "So this is the devil fruit. If I eat it, will I become as beautiful as Kaya?"
El smiled and shook his head, explaining: "No, each fruit has different abilities. This fruit can create a barrier, and only the strongest people in the world can break this barrier."
"So powerful?" Although Nojiko heard that this devil fruit did not have the same beauty effect as Kaya's, her strong defensive ability also made her excited.
Nojigo picked up the devil fruit. Even though Kaya had mentioned before that the taste of the devil fruit was extremely difficult to swallow, only by experiencing it personally could one truly experience that indescribable taste.
