Chapter 786 Extra Sixty-Six S-Class Challenge Mission: [Red-Haired Shanks]
Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two Devil Fruits on the table, feeling slightly surprised.
The superhuman-type Shadow Fruit, this devil fruit ability that once belonged to the hero of the West Sea, Moonlight Moria, originally caused a lot of trouble for the fledgling White Ghost.
Later, Moonlight Moria fell under the attack of the "Negative Ghost", but the Shadow Fruit also disappeared in the sea.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of wandering around, this Devil Fruit actually appeared in front of Adrian again, but in the form of a Devil Fruit.
There is no doubt that the Shadow Fruit is a Devil Fruit with great potential, and it is in line with Adrian's long-standing habit of fruit fusion - enough for the underworld.
(Okay, there are only so many underworld devil fruits)
But what really surprised Adrian was not the Shadow Fruit, but the other one——
Natural type·Shao Shao fruit!
This is Ace’s fruit power in the original work!
There is no record in the comics where or when Ace obtained the ability to burn the Burning Fruit. It is only said that after entering the Grand Line, he quickly became a super rookie and received an invitation from the King's Shichibukai.
From this, it is easy to deduce that Ace obtained the Sha Shao Fruit in the East China Sea or in the first half of the paradise!
(Actually, in the official One Piece extra "The Legend of Spades", Ace obtained the location of the Burning Fruit in the [Ant Nest Hell] in the East China Sea, with Masku, the doctor (and first crew member) of the Spades Pirates. Discovered together with De Deus)
The pseudo-protagonist Red-haired Shanks, who possesses the limited [Lucky Halo], obtained this Devil Fruit in the East China Sea that will belong to Ace in the future. It is not that difficult to accept.
"Both of these Devil Fruits have great potential. Two for one, used in exchange for rubber fruits... It does seem like a deal worth doing."
Adrian nodded slightly, put the rubber fruit into the treasure box, and pushed it in front of Shanks.
The ability of the Shadow Fruit is very versatile, and the ability involves the soul, with huge potential...
As for burning the fruit.
Don’t look at the strange people with the ability of fire in the sea, just like the crucian carp crossing the river...
But...
Okay...
Even the dogs won’t eat the Shaoshao fruit!
Gan! (I’ve finished the book, and the old thief Oda is backstabbing me! I’m vomiting! The ending of my book is that the ‘Sun God’ and the ‘Moon God’ are in the same group!)
As the saying goes...
When you think you are stupid, never forget that there is a "flame" that uses his life to resist the burning of "magma" for the "Sun God".
Ahem...
Judging from the setting of this book, the Shao Shao Fruit + Shadow Fruit, used in exchange for the Rubber Fruit, is indeed a good deal.
If Shanks planned to transfer the rubber fruit to Luffy, Adrian would never proceed with the transaction.
After all, he took away the rubber fruit just to see what kind of fate changes the protagonist of Destiny would suffer if he lost the Destiny plug-in...
But now Shanks plans to give the rubber fruit to Ace!
Even after he had already paid Estor the straw hat!
"But I have one - no, two demands."
Adrian pressed the palm of his right hand on the lid of the treasure box, and at the same time raised his left hand and raised two fingers.
Shanks took a deep breath, "Say it!"
"First, I need to see Portcas D. Ace eat the rubber fruit with my own eyes!" Adrian said his first request.
Two small question marks appeared on Shanks' head, and Adrian didn't understand why.
But soon he no longer cared.
"It doesn't matter! This is a trivial matter! If you are willing to go to the East China Sea with me later, I will..."
Just as Shanks said this, he suddenly recalled the scene where he received the education of White Ghost and Thunder Lion on board the Abyss, and he shuddered involuntarily.
"Ahem! I agree to this request! But you can't be in the same boat with us!"
This time it was Adrian's turn to have a black line on his face.
"Second request!"
Adrian's tone increased.
"Let me test your mettle! See how much you have grown over the years."
After hearing this, Shanks had an expected expression on his face.
"Of course! The basis of trading is strength! This is normal! Come on!"
Adrian threw the treasure box containing the rubber fruit directly to Shanks, and stood up from his position without paying attention to the Shao Shao Fruit and Shadow Fruit on the table.
White Ghost's movements instantly attracted the attention of others on the field.
Especially the members of the red-haired pirate group who have been observing here.
Shanks hurriedly took down the rubber fruit, walked to the edge of the banquet, and handed the rubber fruit into Beckman's hand.
"Shanks, do you want us to come with you?" Jesus Bu, who has gained the trust of others after spending more than half a year together, asked in a low voice. He also knew the captain's plan.
Jesus Bu, who had had brief contact with Adrian in Xiluobu Village, only then recognized that the "strange stranger" from back then was the powerful pirate emperor White Ghost!
"I think..."
Before Shanks could finish his words, he was interrupted by another voice.
Adrian's words floated from afar.
"It's best not to move around, the rest of the red-haired pirates. This is a one-on-one battle between me and your captain. If anyone else dares to intervene, he may not see the sun tomorrow. You say Yes, Mr. Jesus ”
"Everyone heard it too."
Shanks twitched his lips. He also understood that this group of partners would not play a big role in the battle at the "Yonko level". It could even be said...
Except for Ben Beckman, if anyone else interferes in the battle, there is a high probability that they will directly become a negative burden!
Adrian threw another sentence from a distance.
"Of course, except for Mr. Ben Beckman, I also really want to see the strength of the vice-captain of the Yonko-level pirate group... and see how big the strength gap is between Mr. Beckman and Mr. Rayleigh."
Shanks immediately looked at Beckman, who nodded without question.
The battle is about to begin.
When the giants of Elbaf heard that the White Ghost was about to fight the red-haired pirates, they were so excited that they immediately opened up a large open space.
Fighting or something...
My favorite!
Adrian stood on the ground of the Kingdom of Giants, with the [Pale Emperor] in his palm, looking at Shanks and Beckman, the best partners on the other side, from a distance.
The prompt for the long-lost S-class challenge mission sounded on the panel.
[You have triggered the S-level challenge mission [Red-haired Shanks]! 】
Adrian casually glanced at the information on the panel and let out a breath.
"Huh...
“The golden leeks that have been growing for more than ten years are finally ready for harvest!
I just hope...it hasn't expired! "(End of Chapter)
