Chapter 765: The Compassion of the Forty-Five White Ghost
North Sea, Mignon Island, a decaying ruin somewhere on the east side.
Floating snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the earth with a thick layer of white, and the top floors of the dilapidated and ruined buildings seemed to be sprinkled with a glistening layer of icing sugar.
Many figures wearing felt cloaks and holding long knives and guns patrolled back and forth among the ruins. Their vigilant eyes scanned everything in the ruins, and there was an almost fanatical emotion hidden deep in their eyes.
And from the very sophisticated weapons in the hands of these people, it is not difficult to see that this group of people is definitely not an ordinary North Sea pirate!
This is also true!
The true identity of this group of people is that they are sailors from a naval branch base in Beihai. They just followed their leader and defected from the navy.
In the center of the ruins, a group of well-preserved buildings stands, a brightly lit scene.
And inside the building, it was a lively and noisy scene!
"Young ones! Bring the wine!"
Inside the spacious hall, a tall man with short brown hair was sitting on a huge wooden sofa, his right leg raised frivolously on top of his left leg, and a wooden treasure box was placed on his knee.
"Do you know how much this thing can sell for?"
Dies Barreiros shook the treasure box in his hand and looked around at his subordinates with an extremely arrogant expression. There was no trace of the fact that he was an honest and peaceful North Sea naval officer some time ago.
"This is the legendary secret treasure of the sea!"
"At an auction, you can easily sell a treasure worth hundreds of millions of Baileys for a sky-high price!"
"Boss! Did the World Government people raise the price again?"
The minions who participated in the banquet immediately responded to their boss's question and started talking in a variety of ways.
Dies opened the treasure box and took out a small and exquisite bright red fruit. Its skin was covered with a strange spiral pattern of Tang grass. It was shaped like a heart that stopped beating. It bloomed under the bright lights and made people dizzy. A blinding gleam.
Superhuman type·Surgery fruit!
"Five billion Baileys!"
Dies shook the Devil Fruit in his hand, a flash of desire flashed in his eyes, but was immediately covered up by a more fanatical desire for money.
"This is the final price offered by the World Government! I have decided to trade with them!"
"Five billion Baileys? Have the people in the government lost their minds?" A strong man with a slanting scar above his right eye mocked.
"If we can get such a big sum of money, there is no need for us to be pirates anymore!" Another companion wearing a horn helmet next to him responded.
"Hahaha! That's right! If we divide the points randomly, each of us can become a rich man!"
"This fruit requires a doctor to be effective! It's useless for us bosses to use this ability! Money is the most practical thing!"
The fanatical banquet in the ruined building lasted for a whole night. The fallen navy, including Dies Barreiros, were all dazzled by the "Five Billion Baileys" they were about to get. They drank Drunk and unconscious.
In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, even the attention of the patrolling pirates dropped to the lowest level.
A "silent" figure passed through the patrolling pirates, bypassed a large number of eye spies, broke into the central building, and passed through Dies Barreiros who was sleeping like a dead pig. In his arms, he easily took away the treasure box containing the fruits of the surgery!
Immediately afterwards, the thief "silently" passed through the outer layer of defense, carrying the surgical fruits without disturbing any patrols along the way, and walked out of the ruins to Mignon Island. On the outer snow.
However, just when the "Silent Thief" was about to climb over the mountains and jump off a small snow hill, his right foot suddenly slipped, and then his whole body fell over, like a star on the snow. Roll down like a bowling ball.
What is very strange is that even after tumbling and falling, this "thief" still did not make a single sound.
Even when he slid from the snow hill all the way to the outermost edge of the ruins, he fell into the surroundings of several pirate minions.
If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly appeared in other people's field of vision like a big black mouse, the pirate minions wouldn't even have been able to discover the existence of this "silent thief".
"Who is this guy! He suddenly appeared! I was shocked!"
"Where did he fall from? Why was there no sound at all?"
"The fruit in this guy's hand looks familiar... Isn't this the devil fruit that the boss got some time ago? Why does it appear in this guy's hand?"
As soon as these words came out, the pirates who were surrounding them were all excited. At the same time, they raised their muskets and pointed them at the enemy. Six or seven black muzzles were pointed at the man who was still lying on the snow, as if he had not recovered. The body of the "big black mouse".
Rosinandi opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at the minions in front of him, secretly clenching the fruits of the surgery in his hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The pirates opened fire without hesitation, aiming at the man in black who was suspected of stealing the boss's treasure. Several bullets accurately penetrated the latter's body, sputtering out strange and dazzling lights on the white snow. red blood flower.
Rosinandi's body was shaken by the impact of the musket, but fortunately, the results of the operation were completely protected by him.
And when he was about to counterattack, a cold air that was thousands of times more terrifying than the ice and snow on Mignon Island spread out suddenly, freezing all the pirate minions around him on the spot!
"Alala..."
The one who made the iconic mouth sound was not the blue pheasant Kuzan, but the white ghost falling from the sky.
Adrian looked at Rosinandi, who had several bloody holes in his body, with a strange look on his face.
"As the adopted son of the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a naval officer who has received professional training, how did you manage to be hit by a pirate's musket? Don Quixote's heart, Mr. Miguo of the Navy Headquarters?"
Musket?
bullet?
Can this thing really hurt?
And it’s not a bullet shot from the hands of some powerful pirate, this is really just a group of ordinary North Sea pirates!
Adrian really didn't think that Rocinante had been injured by Dies Barreiros' men in advance before he was killed by Doflamingo...
This is the captain of the Navy Headquarters!
That's it?
"White ghost?!"
Rosinandi's pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant, and his vigilance and hostility were not concealed in his eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"I originally wanted to take the opportunity to collect an ownerless treasure..."
Adrian glanced slightly at the surgical fruits "hidden" by Rosinandi.
"But now it seems that fate has its own self-healing ability..."
Tell the truth.
Adrian originally planned to collect the fruits of the operation himself.
However, Rossinandi and Trafalgar Law, who had been wandering around the first half of the Grand Line some time ago, actually appeared on the battlefield of the North Sea to compete for the surgical fruits, as if they had been modified by fate.
Moreover, Rosinandi also successfully sneaked in and stole the fruits of the operation just like in the original work...
In this case, Adrian is not prepared to take this [Ultimate Fruit] from the hands of Rosinandi and Trafalgar Law.
On the one hand, it's because the surgical fruit has very high requirements for its ability users. Even under Adrian's command, there are basically no such sophisticated medical experts (Chopper has already taken the Everyone Fruit, Reiju After eating the poisonous fruit, the others are not interested in medical treatment).
On the other hand...
The "Ragami" who ate the fruits of the operation will grow into a ruthless character who penetrates the Yonko in the future!
A leek with high-level potential!
Adrian occasionally showed "compassion".
What's more...
The dead surgeon who lacks the fruits of his surgery...
Definitely scarier than the Straw Hat boy without the rubber fruit... (End of chapter)
