One Piece Talent System CHAPTER 148 ROBBING

Island No. 47.

About a dozen people were slowly pa.s.sing by the edge of the street and did not attract anyone’s attention. Even the ordinary people who noticed these people immediately regained their gaze.

Many of the dozen or so people have a circular smiling face sign on their shoulders or behind their backs, which is the symbol of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo.

Walking for a while.

More than a dozen people met a black man who had been waiting here in a dark corner.

“Did you bring it?”

Among the people from the Donquixote Family, the leader Gladius walked forward and asked the black man.

The black man stood up and said, “How can the boss give me something so important to carry with me? I’m just here to connect with you and take you to our designated trading place.”

“Huh, you are really cautious.”

Gladius snorted.

The black man laughed and said, “After all, you are the famous Donquixote Family. We are just small-time people. We naturally have to be on guard. Did you bring all the money with you?”

Gladius stared at the black man for two flickers and waved. Several Donquixote Family members behind him stepped forward and opened the suitcase, which was densely packed with Berries of the largest denomination.

“…”

Looking at Berries in the box, the black man swallowed his saliva and said to Gladius, “The deal was 400 million Berries and 500 million worth of ammunition, but I only see Berries here.”

Gladius’s face remained unchanged. “Arms can’t be traded here all at once. You can take us to the trading place, don’t play any tricks!”

“Come on.”

The black man smiled and said: “Our boss has prepared things for you.”

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the black man, Gladius and others took up the loaded Berries and left the dark alleyway and headed for a sh.o.r.e dock.

Just before they left, a shadow in a cloak suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked in the direction of Gladius and others’departure, with a slightly weird smile on his face.

“Whoop, Donquixote Family, the next force to deal with… What on earth is such a large deal?

Just as Laffitte was about to follow him, The Den Den Mus.h.i.+ in his pocket suddenly sounded. He connected Den Den Mus.h.i.+ and on the other side came Robin’s voice calling him back to the s.h.i.+p to a.s.semble.

“… Well, I know, but I’ve found something interesting here. A big deal for Donquixote Family could have an unexpected payoff for us.”

After a moment of silence on the other side of Den Den Mus.h.i.+, Robin relayed Ross’s message: “Captain says you can move freely and be safe.”

“All right.”

Laffitte raised a strange curve at his mouth, put the Den Den Mus.h.i.+ in his pocket, turned into a dark shadow and quietly followed Gladius and others.

Gladius and others moved more and more remote towards the outskirts of the island, but Laffitte’s concealment and tracking abilities were beyond doubt and even so, he can still easily follow them, without anyone noticing.

Finally.

Gladius and the members of Donquixote Family came to a sh.o.r.e of the Sabaody Archipelago, where a medium-sized s.h.i.+p was parked alone on this remote sh.o.r.e.

“Boss, the people of Donquixote Family are here.”

The leading black man came to the side of the s.h.i.+p and shouted at the s.h.i.+p. Then they heard footsteps sound coming from the s.h.i.+p. Soon a man with a Captain cap and a brown beard came down with twenty men and a wooden box in his hand.

Gladius glanced at the wooden box in the captain’s hand, waved to his subordinates and asked them to open it again and revealed a large number of Berries in it.

“Well, 400 million Berries…”

The brown-bearded Captain looked at the box of Berries, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with greed and a smile on his face. He slowly opened the box in front of him.

In the dilapidated wooden box, there is a Devil Fruit, which has a big difference from Zoan and Paramecia. The whole body is khaki in color and the surface looks like sand.

Logia…Sand Sand Fruit!

Nearly two years after the death of the sand Crocodile, this Logia Devil Fruit finally appeared on the sea again!

Donquixote Family trades in the dark world, all over the sea. After Ace’s death, they found his devil fruit, so it is not surprising that they will be able to find other devil fruits.

“This is Logia’s, Sand Sand Devil Fruit.”

Gladius looked at the exquisite Devil Fruit, and his eyes flashed. Although he had already eaten Paramecia’s explosion fruit but for this 900 million Logia Sand Sand Fruit, he still showed a serious and solemn look.

With this Devil Fruit, Donquixote Family can easily cultivate a cadre or even a top cadre and expand its influence.

“Then, close the deal.”

Gladius took a deep breath and signaled his men to deliver the money, while at the same time he reached for the devil fruit in the wooden box.

Whether the next step is to turn the tables directly, overturn the deal and recapture the Berries, or just complete the deal, this fruit is the most important, he has to get his hands on it.

However.

Just as Gladius was grabbing at the sand fruit, a thumb-sized cylindrical object suddenly flew over from a distance and landed in the field.

Bang!

Before it fell, it burst apart abruptly, instantly turning into a ma.s.s of fog and instantly covering the area of tens of meters squared.

The brown-bearded Captain was shocked. Subconsciously, he had to retrieve the wooden box in his hand. Gladius looked very mad when he saw it. He stepped forward and grabbed it.

But.

Just as his finger was about to touch the wooden box, a mahogany cane popped out of the mist, banged the wooden box in the brown beard’s hand out, and knocked on the back of his hand.

Gladius had a pain in the back of his hand and a flash of anger in his eyes.

Who?

Who Dare to intervene in their Donquixote Family deal!

In anger, Gladius did not retreat, and his fingers shook, throwing a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, enveloping the area.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent explosion in the field blew and instantly dispersed the diffuse smoke, which was also mixed with the screams of the accidentally injured men, but Gladius could not care so much, the sand fruit must not be robbed.

While the after-effects of the explosion were still continuing, Gladius jumped through the smoke and charged towards the wooden box and picked it up with his right hand.

“Dare to destroy Donquixote Family’s business…”

Grabbing the wooden box in his hand, Gladius regained his indifference and snorted coldly and looked down at the area which he had blown up.

When the mist cleared, there was no shadow in the area, only one cherry petal.

“He is quick to escape!”

Gladius looked slowly at the wooden box in his hand and opened it slowly.

But the moment the box opened, the expression on his face became stiff.

The box was empty, and Devil Fruit had disappeared, replaced by three pink cherry petals, echoing the flock of petals on the ground, as if laughing at him for being an idiot.

d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n it!!!!

“Who is it, who is it?!”

Gladius’s face was blue and green as he gritted his teeth, his face showing sorrow and anger and he was about to launch his Devil Fruit ability to blow up the area, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see any traces anymore.

The only thing that impressed upon him was the mahogany cane, the one hidden in the fog, and the only shadow of his figure.
