In the first half of the Grand Route, a huge pirate ship was traveling at high speed on the sea.
On the sail of the pirate ship, you can clearly see the pattern of a white ape holding a pirate skull.
On the pirate ship, a tall, middle-aged man with white hair was standing on the deck, looking into the distance, "Crino, when will we arrive in the South China Sea."
"Captain Sakai, hurry up, we are about to enter the windless zone. I think in two days, we will be able to pass through the windless zone and enter the South China Sea."
When Sakai heard what the navigator said, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, speed up. We must rush to the South China Sea as soon as possible. The incident has probably spread. If we don't do it as soon as possible, we will be very passive by then."
of."
"Yes, Captain."
After hearing Sakai's order, Crino responded.
Then he rushed towards the control room of the pirate ship.
After Crino left, Sakai stared sharply in the direction of the South China Sea.
"I didn't expect that a natural devil fruit would appear in such a barren place in the first half of the Grand Line."
"God is really helping me. If I give this natural fruit to Boss Kaido, Boss Kaido will definitely be happy."
"My status will definitely be improved when the time comes. Maybe the three disasters will become four disasters."
...
Windmill Village.
Jiang Feng continued his usual training, practicing using the Overlord's color and domineering energy.
Suddenly, two small figures appeared behind Jiang Feng.
"Brother Feng, I have good news for you. Grandpa Garp is here."
Feiya looked at Jiang Feng happily and said.
Hearing Feiya's words, Jiang Feng's brows changed slightly, "Garp is here, what is he doing here? He is here to pick me up, right?"
"That's not like Garp's style."
"let's go!"
Jiang Feng held Fiya and Ace's little hands and walked towards Windmill Village.
From afar, I saw a conspicuous naval warship docked on the shore.
When he returned to the village, he saw some sailors wearing navy uniforms, so Jiang Feng walked over.
"Your Majesty the Colonel"
When the sailors saw Jiang Feng approaching, they all saluted him.
"Um"
"Hahaha, Mr. Feng, you are here. I heard from the Warring States Period that you want to apply for general-level strength certification. Yes, yes, you are worthy of being a junior of our Monqi family. You are as good as me."
Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Garp walked up and patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder, then crossed his arms and laughed.
Jiang Feng had a dark line on his face, "Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"
"Uncle Garp, what are you doing in Windmill Village? You're not here to pick me up, are you?"
"Of course I'm not here to pick you up. I'm just here to pick you up. I'm here for a mission."
Garp put away his smile and said seriously.
"What mission?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"Recently, a natural Devil Fruit appeared in the South China Sea. This incident has attracted worldwide attention."
"Basically all the powerful pirates in the first half of the Grand Line have passed. There is also a lot of trouble in the New World. I heard that some of the big pirates have returned."
After hearing Garp's words, Jiang Feng finally understood why Sakai appeared in the first half of the Grand Line, "It turns out it's for the natural devil fruit."
"But this is understandable. A natural fruit can completely build the combat power of a general, so they can't help but ignore it."
"By the way, Uncle Garp, what kind of natural fruit is it?"
"It's the natural type, the Earth Fruit. It has the ability to control dust. The World Government is also very concerned about this Devil Fruit. It has issued a death order and must get this fruit."
"Originally, I wanted to go directly to the South China Sea and pick you up after this matter is over, but I heard that you already have general-level combat power, so I came to pick you up first."
Hearing Garp's explanation, Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed and he looked at Garp gratefully, "Could it be..."
With Garp's strength, Jiang Feng didn't believe that Garp came to him because he needed his own combat power. The only explanation was that Garp was helping him.
If you perform well in this matter, it will be of great benefit to you to return to the Navy Headquarters.
“Boy Feng, pack up quickly and we’ll leave in a moment.”
"good"
...
On a medium-sized island in the South China Sea, in a simple room, several pirates were wandering around the room with uneasy faces.
"Okay, you guys, hurry up and sit down for me. I'm almost stunned by you walking around."
A fat pirate on the sofa had an angry look on his face and shouted: "A bunch of useless things. I usually see you all quite clever, but when I need you, I realize you are all trash."
"Boss, what should we do now? All the pirates from the first half of the Grand Line have come to the South China Sea. I heard that several big pirates from the New World have also come. This time we are dead."
"You are so nervous, the Devil Fruit is not in our hands now."
"Damn it, damn it, my natural devil fruit."
The obese man looked angry and his eyes were bloodshot.
"I must know that it is a natural devil fruit. I have already eaten it in one bite. Who the hell would put it up for auction?"
"It's good now that the Devil Fruit has fallen into the hands of the Don Quixote family."
"Boss, we can say we won't auction it on the black market anymore. Get the Devil Fruit back and run away!"
"Are you a pig? You can come up with such stupid ideas. Now if we go to the black market, can the Don Quixote family let us go?"
"However, the Don Quixote family is not having a good time this time. Pirates and the navy are targeting them. I think they will do this."
"Take my natural fruits and let them all die."
...
In the center of the island, in a magnificently decorated room, a tall blond man was sitting on the sofa.
The man has sun eyes, wears a red feather coat, cropped trousers, and pointed shoes, and is playing with a devil fruit in his hand.
""
"Is this the natural-type earth fruit? It's so beautiful. It's a pity that one person can only eat one devil fruit."
Next to the man stood a sloppy uncle wearing a circlet-like cloak and holding a cane with a plum blossom logo in his hand.
The sloppy uncle heard what the man said and said, "Yes, if Dover had obtained the natural devil fruit, I think our Don Quixote family would have dominated the black market long ago."
"But, Dover, what should we do with this natural devil fruit?"
"Would you like to eat it?"
"No, let's auction it as originally planned. We can't save this devil fruit with our current strength."
"Eating it is equivalent to offending everyone."
Brother Ming said with an indifferent expression, as if what he was holding was just an ordinary item.
"It's a pity that the pirate who auctioned the fruit didn't recognize this fruit, but it was recognized by others."
A trace of pity flashed in the sloppy uncle's eyes.
""
“It’s not certain whose hand this fruit will fall into in the end.”
