Chapter 682 Rubber Fruit! Got it!
After some careful and thorough thinking, Shanks, who felt he was outmatched, decided to present the facts and reason with Adrian.
So Adrian calmly pulled out the [Pale Emperor] from the void.
After a period of strange growth, the blade of the [Pale Emperor] directly broke through the diameter of the Redfors's hull from head to tail. It seemed that it could cut off the sails and cut off the mast with just one swing. The bright blade shook the red-haired pirates. You all feel dizzy for a while.
Real 40-meter ship-killing sword!
Adrian held the pale emperor in his hand as if he were holding the legendary deviant sword that could open up the world, and showed Shanks a friendly smile that was full of the truth, goodness and beauty of the sea.
"You say it, I'm listening."
Ben Beckman, who seemed to be calm but actually panicked, stepped forward. While holding Shanks' shoulders, he forced a business smile towards the white ghost.
"Mr. White Ghost, those things are the trophies you deserve. Our red-haired pirate group is about to go to the next travel destination. Do you want to go with us?"
As the captain's deputy, Ben Beckman knew very well how much Shanks valued the rubber fruit. For this reason, he even led the entire red-haired pirate group to rob the treasure ship in the sky!
But it is very obvious that the fruit is now also taken by the white ghost!
Facing the deputy commander who could easily eliminate CP0 within half an hour, and also eliminated the deadly ghost of a thunderstorm and tsunami, Ben Beckman adopted the most rational and appropriate attitude.
Following the steps handed out by Beckman, Shanks had no choice but to walk down even if he was unwilling to do so.
"A good deputy~" Adrian commented with a smile, "Beckman, do you want to come and work with me?"
As the only "vice-captain" among the Yonko Pirates.
The recruitment value of Ben Beckman is very high!
It’s not a bad idea to try...
Shanks tried to say something, but Beckman quickly held down his shoulders.
"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Mr. White Ghost, but before the red-haired pirates finish their journey, I will not consider a second pirate group." Ben Beckman's attitude was just right.
"I didn't realize you had such an excellent deputy in the past..."
Adrian glanced at Bucky, who was huddled in the crowd. This Senryo Daoka, who controlled the "overlord's luck", was still with the red-haired pirates for unknown reasons.
"So you are going to the East China Sea next?"
Shanks felt that Adrian's topic changed too quickly, but now that all his debts had been settled, he only hoped that he would never meet Adrian again in the second half of his life, so it was naturally impossible for him to reveal the secret. The specific voyage of the pirate group.
"It's not..."
Shanks laughed and denied what Adrian said. In fact, Bucky's idea was to go back to the East China Sea first. Red Nose was fed up with the days of wandering on the Grand Route. He now wanted to return to the East China Sea to find the The treasure of the legendary gold thief Wu Nan.
"We plan to go to the Kingdom of Xinoxia first. I heard that there will be a food competition for the new year..."
Adrian showed no other attitude.
Due to his interference, the red-haired pirates were not that seriously damaged during the robbery of the Sky Gold, and Shanks himself did not suffer serious hidden injuries.
The most important thing is...
The red-haired pirates did not steal the rubber fruit from the World Government!
In this way, will Shanks continue to go to Donghai Windmill Village, meet Luffy, and inherit the straw hat and will like in the original work...
Also became a mystery.
Adrian was vaguely looking forward to this.
If nothing else, Luffy has lost any possibility of obtaining the rubber fruit.
If we lose the legacy of red hair and the alternation of straw hats again...
Will Luffy still be the passionate young man whose life dream is to be "One Piece"?
Maybe...
Maybe Luffy will become a "Navy King" under the guidance of a legendary old marine who has lost his heart?
With some wicked expectations for the future timeline, Adrian left the deck of the Redfors, shattered the ice around the treasure ship in the sky, and brought the tribute ship filled with rare treasures toward the Sailing in the direction of the Abyss.
When the white ghost's figure gradually turned into a small black dot on the sea, everyone in the red-haired pirate group was finally able to breathe heavily.
"Shanks, is that rubber fruit really that important?" Ben Beckman approached his red-haired captain and asked in a low voice.
Shanks frowned at first, and then immediately relaxed. As an optimist, he never liked to show any "heavy", "sad" or "uncomfortable" emotions in front of his partners.
"To be honest, I don't know much about it. There is just a very special prophecy about that fruit. According to the prophecy, the rubber fruit must be in the hands of a specific person in order to be effective. As for Ah Derian..."
Shanks thought seriously for a while before shaking his head.
"Although I don't know where Adrian learned the importance of the rubber fruit, it is known that he is already a ghost fruit user, and it is impossible to eat the second devil fruit... so the rubber fruit is waiting It won’t be him.”
Ben Beckman didn't say much, just nodded silently.
"Speaking of..."
Shanks suddenly stretched his waist greatly, and his smile became more real.
"Since Adrian will not eat the rubber fruit, then put the fruit with him... There is no more reliable treasure trove in the sea than the White Ghost's fortified city treasure house!"
The big stone in Ben Beckman's heart finally fell to the ground.
Frankly speaking, even if he has super intelligence, he doesn't want to face an enemy as terrifying as the White Ghost!
Still a loner!
……
Not long after, Adrian dragged the gold treasure ship in the sky back to the Abyss.
Although everyone on the ship is used to the fact that their captain disappears from time to time and then brings back some strange objects, this is the first time that he has directly brought back a large and luxurious ship.
Especially this ship...it looks like it was expensive to build!
"Boss! Did you rob a super rich man?" Xiao Runti, a die-hard pirate, asked, "You are indeed a big pirate!"
"This is not a 'car' that the rich can own, little Runti." The knowledgeable Robin observed the details of the ship in detail for a while, "The logo engraved on this ship belongs to the world's nobles - the Tianlong people!"< br>
Runti was stunned for a moment. After she realized that the Tianlong people were harmonious beings, her cheers actually rose to a higher level.
"The boss is even more powerful!"
Adrian called to Rumi and asked him to collect this golden treasure ship in the sky into the strong city fortress.
On the way back, Adrian had already used his super high speed to search the treasure ship in the sky in all directions and without blind spots, and found the small locked treasure box containing the rubber fruit.
Ripples appeared in the void, and the remaining treasures of the golden treasure ship in the sky were hidden by Rumi in the fortress, waiting for subsequent inspection.
The small treasure box was opened directly by Adrian, revealing the Devil Fruit with a lavender skin and a strange spiral arabic pattern inside! Superman type rubber fruit!
