Of course, Luo Jie is not interested in the [Silent Fruit]. The initial ability of this fruit is very low and can only be used to isolate sounds within a certain range. It may be possible to develop stronger skills later, but most people who eat this fruit will not be interested in it.
No one with this fruit can survive to the later stage with this initial ability.
If it were replaced by the [Shashao Fruit] in the original work, it would be a different matter.
"No dogs will eat the fruit if you burn it" is a joke. Any natural fruit thrown into the player market will be a hot commodity that breaks the head.
Therefore, exchanging the [Silence Fruit] for the [Twelve Skills of the Supreme Sharp Sword] is definitely a good deal for Luo Jie.
"make a deal."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jie took a long, deep breath into the humid sea breeze at night.
In fact, even if there was no deal with "Luo", he would definitely participate in this fighting competition.
In the original work, all eliminated contestants will fall into a trap below the arena in the name of physical examination or treatment. After a certain number of people are imprisoned, "Sugar" will appear and turn all the imprisoned people into slaves.
toys.
In other words, this is the only opportunity to come into contact with "sugar".
Of course, from the perspective of another mission, it is also the only opportunity to come into contact with "Sword Princess Rebecca".
…
The whole journey was silent.
A few days later, the "Bei Ming Youyu" arrived in the waters of "Dressrosa".
""Doflamingo" may not think that we will take the route of "Dressrosa", but the [Northern Hades Fish] has appeared in the "Icefire Island Bank Restricted Area" before, and he will definitely be interested in it.
We are on guard."
In the conference room, Luo Jie summoned all the crew members except "Snow Girl Monet" and officially announced the next mission arrangements as the captain.
"Due to the fighting competition during this period, a large number of pirate groups will gather in Dressrosa, creating an excellent opportunity for us to get involved... But the goal of everyone acting together is too big, so I decided
Divide into three groups.”
"The first group is the investigation group, consisting of "Karina" and "Perona". You two have only one goal. Find the [Children's Fruit] ability user "Sugar", record her whereabouts, and report to me
."
"The second group is the left-behind group, which is composed of "Red Silk", "Al Rita", and "BABY-5". Your mission is to guard "Snow Girl Monet" and protect the safety of "Beiming Youyu"
."
"The third group is the support group, consisting of "Boa Hancock", "Boa Sandasonia" and "Boa Marigold". Your mission is to disguise yourself in "Dressero"
"Sa" lurked and appeared as an ambush after the full-scale war with the Don Quixote family."
"The fourth group is a special group, consisting of "Bonnie", "Kalifa" and the dog "Xiao Ke". They assist me in all my actions in "Dressrosa". I will discuss the specific tasks separately later.
Arrangements for you."
After allocating the personnel and tasks, Luo Jie released the small single-masted ship [The Dying Seagull] that had not been used for a long time, carrying everyone except the left-behind group, and landed unnoticed under the cover of night.
The coast of "Dressrosa".
Since you are sneaking in secretly, you must disguise yourself.
In order to prevent the poor quality of the cross-dressing from being seen through by interested people, Luo Jie simply asked the dog "Xiao Ke" to perform a certain degree of plastic surgery on everyone, changing the beautiful faces with different styles into looks that would disappear from everyone.
However, in order to ensure normal combat effectiveness, the body shape has not been changed in any way. If you identify it with the sound, you will not be mistaken.
"Remember, before the official battle with "Doflamingo" begins, except for the investigation team, everyone else should try not to use the devil fruit abilities with obvious characteristics to avoid exposing their identities."
Watching the two teams of the investigation team and the support team disappear quickly into the darkness, Luo Jie called "Bonnie" and "Kalifa" and returned to the "Dying Seagull".
"Brother Night Dire, why don't we enter "Dressrosa" directly from where we landed just now?" "Bonnie" asked a little confused.
"Because to participate in the fighting competition, you must have a formal identity. No one will care about this in the preliminary round, but once you enter the finals, the Don Quixote family will definitely conduct a secret investigation. Everyone will have normal entry records by then, but...
I feel like I fell from the sky, do you think they will be suspicious?"
While talking, Luo Jie put his head into the mouth of the dog "Xiao Ke", changing his appearance into another ordinary one.
In fact, it was not that he had not considered making himself into a handsome boy, but after thinking about it later, he gave up this somewhat vain idea.
After killing "Doflamingo", "Violet" and "Rebecca" will definitely know his identity. Too much contrast in appearance may lead to a serious psychological gap between the two women.
The mistake caused the "light of the soul" to disappear, and he probably fainted in the toilet from crying.
At this time, "Big Stomach Girl Bonnie" also followed Luo Jie's previous request and used the [Susui Fruit] to transform herself into a fourteen or fifteen year old, while "Iceberg Secretary Kalifa" was regressed.
Around eighteen years old.
"Very good, what I told you before - from now on, I am "Ye", a hunter from an unknown island. I heard that you can get generous bonuses in the arena of "Dressrosa".
A little sister who depends on each other comes to the big city to live a good life. "Kalifa", remember to call me brother too, don't let it slip."
As the eastern sky lit up with a hazy fish belly white, the Dying Seagull, an old sailboat made of broken wooden boards, slowly sailed into the "Dressrosa" surrounded by many luxury sailboats.
Southern seaport.
A rare flat-bottomed flat-bottomed ship with hard sails passed by the "Dying Seagull". A young man with an orange haircut stuck his head out from the side of the ship and threw an apple core towards the deck of the "Dying Seagull".
, smiled at Luo Jie and said: "Hey, boy, are you a pirate too? I haven't seen such a small ship for a long time, and it's actually a little cute."
"Buwu, don't laugh at young people with dreams. The ancestors of our Babao Navy also started from such a small boat."
A burly old man who was more than five meters tall walked from the deck of the flat-bottomed ship to the side of the ship. His appearance with a bald head and white beard gave him a kind and friendly appearance.
"Young man, I apologize to you for my grandson's rudeness. Please consider this money as apology."
While talking, the bald old man with white beard dropped a gold ingot weighing half a catty.
Luo Jie stretched out his hand to catch the gold ingot firmly, smiled at the bald old man with white beard, and pretended to be honest: "Thank you, old man. My sisters and I finally have no worries about the room and board expenses this month."
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the bald old man with white beard. He twirled his beard and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, young man, if you have nowhere to go, you might as well consider joining our Eight Treasure Navy. I can't say that I will make you rich, but at least you can provide food and clothing for your family."
No worries."
The fleet ahead was congested, and the large flat-bottomed ships with hard sails also slowly stopped. On the contrary, the "Dying Seagull" took advantage of its small size and quickly squeezed through the gap in the large ship into the open area in front.
"Grandpa, he is just a little pirate who just went to sea. Do I need to apologize to him?" Orange Shamate was a little confused. In his impression, grandpa had never been so polite to a stranger he had just met.
"You know nothing! I'm trying to save you!" The bald old man with a white beard slapped the orange Shamate on the back of the head with his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and said with hatred: "Do you think this is the West Sea? I'm telling you
How many times have I said that in the new world in the second half of the Grand Line, anyone who dares to go to sea alone should not be underestimated!"
Orange Shamate touched his head inexplicably: "But my "Historical Haki" doesn't feel abnormal?"
"That's because that young man's "Henan and Hearing Haki" is deeper than your cultivation, and he has been able to detect you first without alerting your "Hearing and Hearing Haki"... and on top of the ingot of gold he just threw
The "Armed Haki" that entangled me, and that young man can easily catch it, means that his "Armed Haki" cultivation level is much higher than yours."
Orange Shamate couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue, but he was still a little unconvinced and said: "But... what if I compare it with you, grandpa?"
"Hmph! Who do you think I am?" The bald old man proudly stroked his long snow-white beard, "Thirty years ago, I was a great pirate with a bounty of 542 million beli!"
port.
Luo Jie docked the "Dying Seagull" at the berth of a small ship, paid a small amount of parking fees to the management, and walked onto the dock with "Bonnie" and "Kalifa".
Naturally, he recognized the bald old man with white beard just now. He was one of the contestants in the fighting arena in the original work, the official pirate from the Flower Country of the Western Sea and the leader of the Eight Treasure Navy "Green Pepper".
The orange Shamate is one of his grandsons "Bu Wu", and there should be another grandson "Cai Yi" on the ship.
However, the chance encounter with this group of people has nothing to do with what he will do next, nor will it affect his plan. It is just an insignificant episode.
The terrain of "Dressrosa" is very strange. The periphery of the island is basically mountains and plateaus much higher than the sea level. Only the central area is a circular basin. More than 90% of the country's population lives there.
this area.
In the center of the basin, there is a huge flat-topped stone mountain, known as the "King's Heights". The royal palace of the Yuanliku royal family was built on it, but now it has become the residence of the "Don Quixote Family" and no civilians are allowed.
near.
Take a carriage and drive into the city. As far as you can see, you can see neat buildings and bright flowers everywhere. Young men and women are singing and dancing in the streets. Children playing with toys have happy smiles on their faces. The noisy and bustling scene is like a
