"Do you think this incident was designed against us?" Brannew on the other end of the phone asked.
"Well, it's hard to say." Rubbing his temples, Fu Dou stood up and looked at the sky over the sea outside the ship through the window. The dark clouds were rolling, and countless silver snakes were shuttled among the dark clouds. Occasionally, a thunder was heard.
world
"It always feels a bit far-fetched. After all, if you use such a long time to set up a trap against us, it is simply killing a chicken with a knife."
For a moment, both ends of the phone fell into silence.
"Time!" Just when Fu Dou was drowsy, he was suddenly woken up by the exclamation on the other end of the phone, and he immediately came to his senses.
"What, you figured it out?"
"A little bit," Brannew continued, "When did Monterina first meet Qingchuan?"
"About three months ago, it seemed that we had just driven away Vergo at that time." Fu Dou rolled his eyes and said uncertainly.
"Then when did Lieutenant Colonel Qingchuan have inconsistent attitudes towards pursuing Monterina?" Brannew continued to ask.
"It seems like that time when I found Weibull." Thinking of that day, Fu Dou fell into silence. That day was also the day when the monkey was killed.
"Yes, it was that time. Do you still remember what the cloaked man said?"
"Hey, Newcomer King, why are you so distracted? Your teacher never taught you..." The cloaked man's voice lingered in Fu Dou's ears again.
"...It seems that you have a very powerful move that you haven't used yet. What's it called? Oh, by the way, it's called - Tied Tiger..." After a few words, Fu Dou deduced that this person was not a pirate.
, it is very likely that they are people in the world government, or even people within the navy.
It is unlikely that he is an acquaintance. The most likely person is someone within the navy, and a high-level person at that. Otherwise, he would not be so familiar with the situation in Fu Dou.
"You mean, they started plotting against us from that time on?" Fu Dou asked doubtfully.
"No, their target shouldn't be us, we are just an inducer," Brannew explained.
"How to say" Hu Dou
"After that incident, it was shown that Leshitris attacked with heavy troops, and then CP0 came to visit. However, what is strange is that after CP0 was killed by you, he was easily suppressed by the marshal. This made me
I feel very strange. Later, Princess Rose was captured, you were set up to ambush, and this Monterina incident seemed to happen one after another. There seemed to be no connection, but in fact they all revolved around your character."
"character?"
"Emotional, loyal, and righteous." Brannew's praise on the other end of the phone made Fu Dou feel a little embarrassed, but the next words immediately made Fu Dou's face turn black.
"This is a nice thing to say, but a bad thing is that he has no brains, does things regardless of the consequences, and handles things based on emotion. He is a typical reckless man."
"Hey, hey, am I as unbearable as you say?" Fudou protested.
"Don't interrupt, the two incidents of Teris and CP0 seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact the cause is indeed because of us."
"We?" Fu Dou had something strange on his face.
"You must think it has something to do with us, right?" Brannew continued his analysis.
"Do you remember artificial devil fruits?"
"Well, that's right, that punk guy who knew it for five hundred years before and five hundred years later is a fairy scientist. What's wrong? Could it be that he set up a trap?"
"Go away, get serious. His name is Vegapunk. He is a great scientist who is five hundred years ahead of mankind in knowledge. The key is not this person, but the artificial Devil Fruit. We have obtained an artificial Devil Fruit before."
"Well, I remember, you mean, that artificial devil fruit is the cause of this incident?"
"That's right, think about it. If someone masters the artificial devil fruit, can he organize an army full of fruit ability users in an instant?" Brannew on the other end of the phone continued to narrate, causing disaster.
The turbulent emotions slowly felt like parting through the clouds and seeing the blue sky. At the same time, a sense of conspiracy and oppression suddenly came over me.
If someone mass-produced artificial devil fruits like Tris, and hundreds of them appeared together, then this army would be so terrifying.
Or someone could create a hundred Ultramans based on the power of Absoo's fruit. It's hard for Fu Dou to imagine how much destructive power such a team can cause. What's even more frightening is that this artificial Devil Fruit has already appeared.
, and there are also successful examples, Lei Shi-Trice is a clear example.
But luckily, Tris's experimental product doesn't seem to be very successful. Frequently going crazy means that artificial devil fruits still have certain side effects.
However, not everyone in this world is worried about this side effect. Those people want the world to be in chaos.
"But, how much money does this have to do with us?" Although Fu Dou has figured out the problem of artificial devil fruits, what does this have to do with the problems he is encountering at this stage and the series of previous events?
"It doesn't matter? Think about it, what happened after we obtained an artificial devil fruit. First, we drove away Vergo. Although I don't know if that guy was involved in this matter, but I always feel that this guy
There’s something wrong”
"Then you met the cloaked man when you were chasing Weibull. Not only Weibull and his son were present at that time, but also Bichuel and another person. They were not planning to ambush you at that time. They were probably discussing something.
, as a result, because of your intrusion, the man in the cloak died, Weibull was seriously injured and disappeared, and what happened to the other two people in the end, I don’t know the final result."
"Then CP0 comes directly to arrest you. It's ridiculous that he arrests you for disobeying the orders of your superiors. Do you really think that CP0 has nothing to do all day long? This further proves that someone in the World Government is involved in this matter.
It is a matter of fact, and only people in the world government may have access to artificial devil fruits, and their status must be very high."
"The top people in the world government? Those Celestial Dragons? Do they have shit in their heads? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy their current supreme position of power over the world? To actually come up with something like artificial Devil Fruit?
You are trying to commit suicide." Fu Dou was a little unbelievable.
"After all, not all of the World Government are Celestial Dragons. It's possible that these people are planning something. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised even if they are really Celestial Dragons, because the current Celestial Dragons are no longer the Celestial Dragons of eight hundred years ago.
"Blannew continued with a somewhat low tone.
"Then Lei Shi-Trice came to visit, and then you were set up to ambush. In fact, they were trying to find a way to kill you, the insider. Then how do we, the little shrimps, deal with it? It's too easy for them."
"Wait, insider? I didn't know these things at the time." Fu Dou was a little unbelievable.
"No, for those people, since you have seen it, it is possible to leak their information. Even if you don't know, they will think you know it, so they want to get rid of you, but they didn't expect it.
What's wrong is that your growth rate is so fast that every time they send powerful opponents, you have been eliminated."
"Well, how do you explain this setup? Why don't they send one or two general-level figures to just come and kill them?" Fu Dou continued to ask.
"... Do you think the general is a big carrot in the field? You can pull two of them out of the field." Brannew said angrily, and then continued.
"Because these things can no longer be hidden, Marshal Warring States has secretly sent Lieutenant General He to investigate this matter, so it is no longer important to simply kill you, but to use you to make the next big move."
"What big chess game?" Fu Dou asked curiously.
"I don't know," Brannew on the other end of the phone shrugged and said, "These are just my simple inferences. Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, I have carefully considered it and think this inference is quite reasonable."
"..." Fu Dou
Just when Fu Dou was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard a noisy and chaotic sound coming from the other end of the phone. Then after everything calmed down, the gradually heavier breathing of Branyu on the other end of the phone was clearly heard.
