Chapter 162 Vampire Devil Fruit
"It's like this. I want to find a fruit with a special pattern in Sleeping Ancient Town. If anyone can help me find it, I will reward him with 10 million Baileys!"
"Of course, if anyone dares to embezzle it, or if I can't find it here, don't blame my men for being rude."
"You are the mayor, you should know what to do, right?"
Li Yuan looked at the fifty or sixty-year-old man in front of him with a half-smile and said.
"You know, I will ask everyone in the town to help find it."
Mayor Arik Tapa looked at the more than 500 men with fierce looks and swords behind Li Yuan, swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly.
"Well, I'll wait for your good news."
"If I can find it, I will not only return the 10 million Baileys to the person, but I will also give 10 million Baileys to everyone who participated in helping me find it."
Li Yuan smiled.
For that devil fruit, it's okay for him to give you a little sweetness.
He will not give too much, otherwise, people’s hearts will never be satisfied.
"I understand, Your Excellency. I'm going to tell people to start looking for him."
The mayor of the town, Arik Tapa, said with some joy that at least the person in front of him was not an unreasonable person or a pirate, so it would be much easier to handle.
"Look for it in the forest behind you!"
Afterwards, Li Yuan asked the more than 500 people who came with him to search in the forest behind the town.
The place is inaccessible and there are wild animals. Ordinary residents will not go there at all, so they can only leave it to the people he brought to find it.
"Yes, Captain!"
The people brought by Li Yuan are very loyal to him, and they all know that what Li Yuan is looking for is Devil Fruit, so they also know their purpose.
"Li Yuan, how do you know there must be a devil fruit here?"
Xia Qi asked curiously.
She collected the information. She didn't even know there was a devil fruit here. How did Li Yuan know?
"I saw a piece of information in an ancient book before, saying that there is a powerful Devil Fruit hidden in this town, so I asked you to help me find it during the Rocks era."
Li Yuan casually found an excuse and brushed it off.
It was really hard for him to tell Xia Qi about this kind of thing, so he simply didn't say it.
Xia Qi also believed Li Yuan's words. After all, this was the only possibility. Otherwise, how could Li Yuan know something that even she, the intelligence chief, didn't know.
When everyone began to search for the Devil Fruit, Li Yuan also took several of his women and children to search.
It is said that I am searching, but I am just searching and playing at the same time. I have been in this world for so long.
He used to spend a lot of time practicing and fighting, and it was rare for him to have time to play with his woman and children.
This is a rare opportunity, otherwise we would have to start competing for hegemony, training, and fighting again after we go back.
It wasn't until the third day in Sleepy Ancient Town that everyone searched the town twice before they found the Devil Fruit that Li Yuan was longing for.
"Great, that's what I'm looking for."
"Mayor, I keep my word. This is 10 million. I will give it to you and distribute it to those who help in the search."
After getting the Devil Fruit he was looking for, Li Yuan readily gave 10 million beli to the mayor Arik Tapa in front of everyone.
"Thank you, sir!!"
The mayor of the town, Arik Tapa, happily took the 10 million Baileys and said.
"What's your name? These ten million Baileys are yours."
Then, Li Yuan looked at his subordinate and asked.
The person who found this devil fruit was not a resident of Suigu Town, but one of his subordinates.
"Captain, my name is Zelens Bisset!!"
Bisset held the 10 million Baileys and said excitedly.
"Well, Bisset, you are very good. Ten million Baileys is much less than the value of a Devil Fruit."
"Let's do this. You will be able to enjoy the benefits of captain in the next three years. I hope that in three years, I can see you becoming the captain of my Wuji Pirates!"
Li Yuan patted Bisette on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you Captain, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Hearing this, Bixi Te became even more excited.
You know, the welfare of the captain and cadres of the Wuji Pirates nowadays is not just as simple as monthly salary payment.
The unique permission to purchase medicinal baths in the Promise Pirates is a benefit for captains and cadres. This can truly restore injuries in a short time, and is best used after extensive training.
Those who became captains said that with the help of medicinal baths, their strength improved rapidly in practice.
This is also one of the reasons why everyone in the Wuji Pirates wants to become the captain. After all, no one is not interested in the improvement of strength. Also, captains and officers can now get discounts when purchasing items for their own pirate group's business operations.
Team leaders get a 95% discount, group leaders get a 10% discount, ordinary cadres get a 15% discount, and core cadres get a 20% discount.
This kind of discount may not be useful at first, but as the Wuji Pirates occupy more territory and expand their business, this authority can save them a lot of money.
Momentum, the most important thing is not these.
The most important thing is that once you become the captain, you will be able to obtain various swordsmanship, physical skills, and domineering training manuals collected by the captains of the Wuji Pirates.
These are the fastest ways to become stronger!
Compared to Bisette, Li Yuan was happier.
After getting this phantom vampire devil fruit, Li Yuan collected it and started to return home with everyone.
"I'll keep this Devil Fruit for now, and eat it later when my strength reaches a bottleneck."
"Otherwise, if you eat a Devil Fruit, you won't be able to enter the sea."
During the return trip, Li Yuan had been hesitating whether to eat this Devil Fruit. After all, this Devil Fruit was the most suitable Devil Fruit for him.
But in the end, he gave up temporarily. After all, once he ate it, he would not be able to enter the sea. It also gave him an obvious weakness, and he might be targeted and killed.
He clearly remembered Rocks in the Valley of Gods. Rocks, who had terrifying strength, was surrounded and beaten to death, and he couldn't even escape!
If he were Rocks, if he hadn't eaten the Devil Fruit, he would have definitely plunged into the sea and escaped.
After all, if he reaches the sea, the only people who can chase him into the sea are Roger, Garp, Gatorelli and Saint Garin at most.
If Rocks had Li Yuan's [Life Return·Water Swimming Form], those four people would be no match for Rocks in the sea, and there would be no problem escaping from the sea!
Even though many officers who want to kill Rocks are waiting outside the island, they are all Devil Fruit users (except Li Yuan).
There was no way to catch up with Rocks, and Rocks was able to escape smoothly.
Li Yuan is not strong enough now. If he eats the Devil Fruit, he may be blocked by Garp, Sengoku, and Zefa, unable to escape, and then be besieged to death.
For the sake of his own safety, Li Yuan felt that it was better not to eat Devil Fruit yet.
"Okay, that's it. I've decided that I'll eat Devil Fruit later when I have the strength not to be afraid of being attacked, or when my strength becomes difficult to improve. Anyway, I'm still young now and don't need to extend my lifespan."
The biggest use of the vampire devil fruit is immortality. He is only twenty years old, so he is not in a hurry in this regard.
After all, eating the Devil Fruit eliminated the possibility of Li Yuan escaping from the sea.
This is what makes him stronger than everyone at the moment.
Now that he has not eaten the Devil Fruit, he has no fear of anyone!
Even if he is now facing Roger, Garp, Rayleigh, Saint Garin and Saint Satan, who besieged Rocks in the past, he is still confident of escaping into the sea from the siege of the five of them.
This is his confidence!
"Li Yuan, I just got the news that your master, whom you asked me to find before, already knows about it. He is currently living in seclusion on Steller Island."
When Li Yuan and the others had just returned, Xia Qi received a message from his intelligence officer.
"Steller Island? It seems to be an island not far from the Red Earth Continent."
"Let's send the children back first, and then go to Steller Island to pick up my master."
Li Yuan said.
Since Xia Qi can find the hiding place of his master, then if the World Government wants to find it, I am afraid it can also be found.
Therefore, Li Yuan wanted to bring his master back to his own territory, which was safer than staying on Stella Island.
Although Louis was only his master when he was weak, no matter what, once a master, always a master.
It was impossible for him to remain unmoved after learning the news about his master, not to mention that his master might be implicated because of Li Yuan himself.
"Well, okay, I'll have people set up all the mirrors along the way!"
Xia Qi nodded.
Nowadays, all the islands involved in the Xia Qi Intelligence Network are equipped with many mirrors made by Xia Qi herself.
After all, only the mirror she made herself can connect her mirror world.
Although he cannot sense mirrors that are far away now, he can sense them within a certain range.
In the future, with Xia Qi's continuous development, even if she is sitting in the country of Wano, she will be able to connect to all the mirrors she made in the new world, and maybe even cover the whole world.
Steller Island:
In a small alley in the bustling street, many people have settled here.
After leaving Feqing Island, Louis, who came here, also lived here. He also got to know many neighbors over the years and lived a comfortable life.
When Louis came back from chatting with his neighbor, he saw two more figures in his home.
One of them was the disciple he had seen many times in the newspaper and made him proud and proud.
"Master, long time no see!"
Seeing his master who had been away for many years, Li Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. His past was all wrapped up in the words "Long time no see".
