Voyage: The Evil Family! The Big Brother of the Four Emperors at the Beginning!
Chapter 1 The Strongest Family System!
“Brother, please don’t die! I’ll give you all my cakes…please don’t die!”
On the beach, a little girl was crying heartbrokenly and trying to stuff the cake in her hand into the mouth of an unconscious boy beside her.
Perhaps this person cannot be called a “little girl” because her body is almost as big as that of a giant child. Compared with her huge body, the already pale and thin boy next to her looks even weaker.
And this girl crying sadly is Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors of the future New World.
“elder brother “
Charlotte Lingling tried hard to stuff the cake in her hand into the boy’s mouth.
“My brother is my only relative in this world. My parents don’t want me anymore. Is my brother going to abandon me too?”
The unconscious boy seemed to smell the fragrance of the cake and swallowed it down as if he had a last burst of energy. His severe hunger was immediately relieved, and he gradually regained consciousness, and his eyes slowly opened a crack.
When Su Rui opened his eyes, he saw Lingling with snot all over her face from crying.
“Big…Mom?”
Su Rui was a little dumbfounded when he suddenly saw such a big face approaching. He could actually dream of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors in the Pirate World? And it was actually the young version of Linlin? !
It was not until Lingling’s tears and snot dripped onto Su Rui’s face that the overly real touch made him realize that the scene before him did not seem to be a dream!
But it s true!
How did he end up here?
Did he travel through time?!
At this moment, a large number of memories flooded into Su Rui’s mind, making him understand his current identity.
He is Charlotte Linlin’s brother who does not exist in the original world line. He is eighteen years old this year. The brother and sister were abandoned by their parents and moved to the giant island of Elbaf.
Although they are brother and sister, Su Rui does not have a huge body like Lingling. He is just an ordinary person.
And because Su Rui, as an older brother, always gave the little food he had to his younger sister, Su Rui was severely malnourished.
Su Rui searched his memory carefully and roughly figured out the current timeline. Originally, Lingling should have eaten everyone in the Lamb’s House immediately to gain the ability of the Soul-Soul Fruit, and now, it should have happened before that.
Although he was shocked that he had traveled through time and space and became Charlotte Linling’s brother, Su Rui began to think about his next countermeasures, thinking that he might as well make the best of it.
Lingling was only five years old at that time, and he was just an ordinary person. How could he take his sister away from this place?
At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the [Family System]. The system’s goal is to [build the strongest family on the sea]”
Before Su Rui could react, a translucent system panel immediately appeared in mid-air, and the mechanical voice continued to introduce itself.
“The host can view the objects that can be bound to the family contract through the system panel. Once they are successfully bound to become family members, they can obtain system rewards.”
After hearing this introduction, Su Rui immediately had an idea and clicked on the option of bindable objects, among which was his sister, Charlotte Lingling.
This discovery made Su Rui overjoyed. In his memory, he had a very good relationship with Lingling. If he wanted to establish a contract with her, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?
Thinking of this, although Su Rui’s body was still a little weak, he finally cheered up and tried hard to support his body and sit up from the ground.
Lingling, who had been crying non-stop, was so surprised to see that her brother had “come back to life” that she stepped forward and hugged Su Rui tightly.
“Brother! Brother, you are resurrected!”
However, Su Rui’s body was fragile to begin with, and Lingling’s hug almost crushed his bones.
“Lingling, be good…”
Su Rui was held so tightly that he could hardly breathe. “Let my brother go first.”
Lingling was surprisingly obedient. As soon as Su Rui said that, she let go of her hand without any hesitation. Su Rui also took a few breaths before he recovered. At the same time, he began to guide Lingling to sign the family contract with him as mentioned by the system.
“Lingling, do you want to try all the delicacies on this ocean?”
Su Rui decided to use her favorite things to persuade her, and when Lingling heard this, her eyes lit up and her saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. She nodded excitedly as if she had already eaten those delicious foods.
“I want to eat! I want to eat all the delicacies in the world!”
“If you want to taste delicacies from all over the world, you have to go out to sea with your brother.”
Su Rui continued, “Are you willing to go to sea with your brother?”
“Yes, yes!”
Lingling nodded repeatedly, “As long as brother wants Lingling to do something, Lingling is willing to do it! Lingling will listen to brother in everything!”
Seeing that the future Four Emperors were so obedient to him, Su Rui felt more confident. Although he had not received any help from this [Strongest Family System] yet, with Lingling’s powerful fighting power by his side, it was enough to protect himself.
“Okay, since Lingling listens to me in everything, I will take you to build the most powerful family in this sea and let you eat the delicacies from all over the world!”
“good!”
Lingling nodded and agreed without hesitation. At the same time, a translucent system panel appeared in front of Su Rui, and the mechanical sound of the system sounded again.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully signing a family contract with [Charlotte Linlin] and obtaining the system rewards: [Intermediate Observation Haki] [Intermediate Armament Haki] [Elementary Conqueror Haki].”
As the system sounded, Su Rui suddenly felt a surge of power spreading throughout his body, and the original feeling of weakness gradually dissipated.
Although the system’s reward was only three colors of domineering, it also improved his physical condition?
Buy three get one free, that’s quite a deal.
After Su Rui regained some energy, he began to think about how they could leave Elbaf, this troubled place. But when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he immediately noticed a warship docked on the side of the island.
warship?
Su Rui’s expression froze. According to the original timeline, the nun should be trading with CP0 now, wanting to sell both him and Lingling to the Celestial Dragons, right?
Thinking of this, Su Rui immediately had an idea. He turned around and looked at Lingling beside him with a smile.
“Lingling, since we are going out to sea, let’s go and say goodbye to the nun first.”

“Hello.”
Sister Carmela weighed the gold coins in the bag. She seemed very dissatisfied with the weight of the bag as she held a cigarette in her mouth.
“You can’t buy those two little brats under my command with just this little price!”
The mysterious man wearing a hat on the other side spoke calmly.
It was always this price before.
At this moment, Su Rui and Lingling had quietly come to the bushes not far away. Lingling saw the nun’s back and was about to wave and say hello, but was stopped by Su Rui.
“Lingling, don’t speak yet, listen to what they are saying.”
Although Lingling didn’t quite understand why her brother didn’t allow her to greet the nun, she still calmed down and hid in the bushes with her brother, listening carefully to the conversation between the nun and the mysterious man.
This should be cp0.
“Let me tell you, even though that boy isn’t very useful, that little girl is definitely a rare monster.”
Sister Carmelo assured the other party with a solemn oath, “Not only is she extremely strong, but she can also eat a lot. Moreover, she doesn’t have the bloodline of a giant to grow so huge.”
“I have never seen such talent in all the years I have been trafficking people. When she grows up, she will definitely be a qualified slave. And those celestial dragons…don’t they just like this kind of strange species?”
The mysterious man thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded, then turned to the warship to prepare more gold coins.
Su Rui listened to these words with a frown. At this moment, the nun’s face had none of the usual Madonna kindness, but was replaced by insidiousness and mercenary. Fortunately, he already knew the nature of this nun, so it was not particularly surprising.
Lingling standing by was extremely shocked. She never expected that the usually kind nun would actually want to sell her and her brother together! ?
“Bad nun!”
Lingling immediately burst into tears, grabbed a stone nearby and threw it at the nun. The nun was startled by the noise and immediately stepped back to avoid it. Seeing the huge hole made by the stone on the ground, she couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.
It s really a monster!
Seeing that her deeds had been exposed, the nun did not hesitate at all and immediately used the power of her Soul-Soul Fruit.
“Homiz!”
This move of the nun divided her life onto the surrounding trees. The trees immediately seemed to come alive, obeying her orders and attacking Su Rui and Lingling.
Su Rui’s face was solemn. Although the nun was not very strong, he still needed to protect Lingling, which was bound to be a bit strenuous. Although Lingling had a monster physique and was unlikely to be injured, as a brother, he could not allow his sister to have any chance of getting hurt.
Thinking of this, Su Rui immediately shouted,
“Lingling! Go back to where we were just now. I’ll come find you in a bit!”
Although Lingling was heartbroken at the moment, she still obeyed her brother’s orders 100%. She nodded, then turned around and ran away crying.
Now he can use his fists and feet to his heart’s content!
The [Intermediate Level of Observation Haki] that Su Rui had just obtained from the system was really put to good use at this moment. In his eyes, the attacks of these tree Homies seemed to be slowed down countless times, and it was easy for him to dodge their attacks.
Sister Carmelo also sensed something was wrong. Wasn’t Su Rui a weakling who was powerless? How could he be unscathed under her attack?
And this is obviously…
This was done with the help of Observation Haki!
When did this kid learn to use Haki? !
Su Rui knew very well that CP0 was not far away. Although he was more than capable of dealing with a nun now, if he was besieged by CP0, he would have difficulty escaping even with the help of the system!
It is better to resolve the issue quickly.
After making up his mind, Su Rui stopped fighting with these Homies. His fist was suddenly covered with black armed color domineering. With a fierce punch, he directly smashed a large group of trees in front of him.
Sister Carmelo had an ominous premonition when she saw the scene in front of her. This aggressive boy could even use Armament Haki?!
At this moment, she had already thought about retreating, but it was too late.
A powerful punch hit the nun’s back. The nun herself was not very strong, and Su Rui hit her with all his strength, so that she didn’t even have time to scream, and she died immediately.
How could he die so easily?
Su Rui was a little surprised, but it was considered a victory in the first battle. Just as he was about to return to meet Lingling immediately, his Observation Haki instantly sensed the danger from behind.
“What the nun said is correct. He is indeed a little devil with unparalleled talent.”
The person who spoke was a mysterious masked man. Su Rui was shocked, but after careful identification, he confirmed that the other party did not seem to be a member of CP0, but… CP5?
This made Su Rui feel a little relieved. The strength of the CP organizations under the World Government decreases from 0 to 9. Since the one coming is CP5, he still has the strength to fight!
“But if you kill Carmelo, don’t even think about leaving easily!”
After saying this, the masked man immediately disappeared from the spot.
This is the “Shave” among the Six Styles of the Navy!
However, this degree of shaving is really unnecessary in the face of Observation Haki.
“Point the gun!”
The masked man of Cp5 gathered power with his fingertips and was about to attack Su Rui, but Su Rui dodged sideways and easily avoided his attack.
This CP5 seems to be just like this?
Although Su Rui secretly complained in his heart, he did not take it lightly. After all, the other party was a member of the World Government Rental Organization!
The opponent was obviously surprised at Su Rui’s strength and was preparing to adjust his offensive, but Su Rui would no longer give him the chance to launch another attack.
Just like before, the punch covered by the armed color domineering hit the masked man’s face cleanly and neatly. The mask on the mysterious man’s face shattered, and at the same time Su Rui also heard the sound of bones breaking.
After this punch, the masked man fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then did not get up again.
Su Rui was worried that more people would come, and he didn’t have time to check whether he was dead or not. He immediately turned around and left in a hurry to meet his sister Lingling.
After all, Lingling’s emotions had just fluctuated greatly, and Su Rui also knew that once Lingling’s emotions got out of control, it would bring immeasurable consequences, so he had to catch up as soon as possible to check on her.

Chapter 3 I’m Hungry (Old Version)
“Lingling? Lingling?! Lingling? Where are you?!”
Su Rui returned to where they were just now, but did not see Lingling. This made him a little anxious. Could it be that Lingling was captured by the CP0 people?
Just when Su Rui was extremely anxious, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual on the warship not far away. Su Rui was eager to save people, so without thinking too much, he immediately ran towards the warship.
When Su Rui boarded the warship, he saw soldiers lying unconscious on the ground. The culprit of all this was, of course, Lingling, who was leaning against the mast and crying loudly.
It seems that all the soldiers on this warship have been dealt with by Lingling.
Lingling was still immersed in the sorrow of being betrayed by the nun.
“The nun actually wants to sell both of us out…it’s really too much…I hate nuns!”
Lingling was still crying sadly, and her crying hurt Su Rui’s eardrums. He could only go forward to comfort her.
“Lingling, don’t worry. Those who betrayed us have been punished now. No matter who betrays us in the future, we will end up like today!”
Su Rui’s comfort did have some effect. Lingling slowly stopped crying and nodded.
“Okay, from now on, I will only believe what my brother says, and I will never believe anyone else again!”
Su Rui did not comment on this. After all, at this stage Lingling just needed to trust him. As for the future, they would talk about it later.
“Lingling, just like I told you just now, we will work together to build the most powerful family in this ocean. We will be so powerful that no one will dare to betray us, and no one will dare to bully us.”
Su Rui described his grand vision, and Lingling nodded, not quite understanding.
“Don’t worry, brother. Lingling will give birth to many children in the future. These children will all be members of our family. I will also train them to be strong warriors to protect brother and Lingling together!”
Seeing that the 5-year-old Lingling had already had such awareness, Su Rui was a little amused, but after thinking about it for a while, Su Rui still shook his head.
“Lingling doesn’t need to do this.”
Su Rui had reasons to say this. After all, in the original world line, Lingling created her own Wan Kingdom by giving birth to nearly 100 children, but the side effects of this were also extremely obvious.
The huge and slightly ugly body is indeed not very beautiful.
Thinking about Lingling’s graceful figure when she grows up, Su Rui really couldn’t bear to see his sister’s perfect figure gradually collapse.
He didn’t want his sister to become the biggest sandbag in the entire ocean.
“A family doesn’t necessarily have to be formed by people who are related by blood.”
Su Rui said, “You know, there are many orphans like us in this sea. We can take them into our family, or I can find someone else to have children with. In short, Lingling doesn’t need to worry about these problems.”
Lingling only half understood what Su Rui said, but she had complete trust in her brother and nodded.
“Okay! Lingling will listen to brother!”
Hearing this, Su Rui smiled and touched her head, but at this moment, an untimely sound from Lingling’s stomach broke the warm atmosphere.
“Brother, Lingling is hungry.”
Lingling said while holding her finger. Su Rui smiled helplessly.
“Okay, wait, I’ll go find you something to eat.”
The granary on the warship was not difficult to find. Seeing that there was still more than half of food in the granary, Su Rui was very satisfied. As expected, the reserve food on the warship was still sufficient. These things should be enough for Lingling to have two or three meals.
Su Rui is not very good at cooking, but fortunately Lingling is not picky about food. As long as the food is cooked well, she will eat it with relish.
“Lingling, wait another 5 minutes and the meat will be cooked.”
Su Rui looked at Lingling who was impatient and smiled. Although Lingling wanted to eat the food immediately, since her brother said so, she should just endure it for another five minutes!
“Sir, this warship in front of us has been out of communication for more than an hour.”
A navy soldier was reporting the situation to the masked man of CP0. The masked man was listening to the noise coming from the warship, and no emotion could be heard in his tone.
“The kid who killed Sister Carmelo and the CP5 members is up there now, as well as the kid with the monster talent the nun mentioned.”
After the masked man of CP0 said this, he took a few steps in the air and immediately flew towards the warship as if he was stepping on an invisible ladder.
This is the Moon Step, one of the Six Navy Styles!
Su Rui was patiently cooking delicious food for Lingling, but suddenly his observation Haki made him sense a stranger approaching with hostility, and his expression immediately froze.
“Lingling, hide behind us, someone is coming!”
Su Rui immediately said in a deep voice. Lingling didn’t understand but still did as he said. Sure enough, a few seconds later, the masked man of CP0 had already stepped on the deck of the warship.
The masked man looked around and was somewhat surprised to see the unconscious navy soldier. He turned his gaze to Su Rui who was in a combat defense posture and said,
“It’s you who killed Sister Carmelo and the members of CP5.”
Su Rui did not intend to answer his question, but immediately asked back,
“Who are you?!”
Looking at the other person’s attire, Su Rui knew that he must be a member of the CP organization, but Su Rui couldn’t figure out which CP he was a member of for the time being.
“An organization directly under the control of the world’s noble Celestial Dragons, the world’s strongest intelligence agency, CP0.”
Listening to the visitor calmly reporting his identity, Su Rui would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous.
Although he had just killed a member of CP5, you have to know that CP5 and CP0 are not at the same level at all.
With Su Rui’s current strength, it is nothing short of a fantasy for him to defeat a member of CP0.
But the other party has already come to our door, so what else can we do?
It seems that you can’t escape, so you can only fight against the enemy with your soldiers and block the water with earth!
“Celestial Dragons? What the hell is that?! I’ve never heard of it!”
Su Rui decided to attack first, still with a simple punch. However, just from the first round of the fight, Su Rui could feel the gap in strength between them.
This is completely different from the member of CP5 mentioned above!
Whether in terms of reaction speed or sense of oppression, this cp0 is superior.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 4: Bulimia (Old Edition)
I have to say that this CP0 is really worthy of its reputation. After just a few rounds, Su Rui was unable to hold on. Although with the help of his Observation Haki, he was able to figure out the opponent’s next move, but unfortunately, Su Rui’s body was too weak and he could no longer keep up with the opponent’s offensive.
The masked man’s fingers were gathering power. Although this was not the first time that Su Rui had experienced the power of the finger gun, the effects would naturally be different depending on the user.
This is completely different from what the guy from CP5 used just now!
Even though Su Rui tried his best to dodge the attack, his cheek was still grazed by the finger gun, and a deep blood mark immediately appeared on his face.
“Brother! You are not allowed to bully my brother!”
Seeing Su Rui injured, Lingling was extremely anxious and also became a little impatient. After all, even she could see that her brother was obviously at a disadvantage!
The masked man of CP0 couldn’t help but feel a little surprised when he saw that this seemingly frail boy could actually fight with him.
However, as a member of the strongest intelligence agency directly under the Celestial Dragons, he was of course too lazy to waste time on such things and just wanted to solve this trouble as soon as possible. He glanced at Lingling who had been hiding behind the mast, and saw that Su Rui had been trying his best to protect the “weakling” behind him. He immediately decided to take action and kill this guy who seemed to have no fighting ability.
“Lan Jiao!”
The masked man’s foot slashed with a powerful blow and quickly attacked Lingling. Su Rui’s observation Haki also made him realize the other party’s purpose at the first time, and he immediately shouted to Lingling,
“Lingling! Get out of the way!”
At the same time, Su Rui used the armament domineering to cover the key parts of his body as much as possible and rushed forward to block the attack.
Although the Armament Haki has cushioned the damage caused by this attack to a great extent, given Su Rui’s level of Haki, there is definitely no way to achieve 100% defense.
After suffering such a blow, Su Rui’s body was covered with various wounds of varying sizes. At the same time, he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
“elder brother!”
Lingling was heartbroken when she saw that her brother had been seriously injured in order to protect her. It just so happened that the masked man’s kick had chopped the food that Su Rui had cooked for half a day into pieces. Food being wasted and the person she loved most being injured were the things that Lingling could not tolerate the most. The masked man in front of her, who was CP0, had hit Lingling’s sore spot accurately.
The hunger in her stomach and the anger at the moment intertwined together, Lingling’s eyes faintly glowed red, and she gradually lost her mind. She began to collapse and go crazy on the spot, yelling.
Su Rui’s body was already a little weak after enduring the powerful attack from the masked man just now, and the huge roar that came out of Lingling’s mouth almost made him faint.
This… this is Lingling’s bulimia attack!
Compared to Su Rui, who already knew that Lingling would suffer from bulimia, the masked man of CP0 was shocked that the five-year-old child in front of him could burst into such an amazing roar. At the same time, he really believed what the nun said about “monster talent.”
However, his arrogance as a CP0 made him naturally underestimate Lingling and did not take her seriously.
“The Celestial Dragons will definitely like this little brat, we must take her back!”
The masked man of cp0 was eager to try. Su Rui half leaned on the side and looked at him, feeling that he was overestimating his own abilities.
You should know that the reason why Linling had a feud with the giants of Elbaf was because of her bulimia. She destroyed the giant village by herself. Even the giant elder Yorulu planned to kill Linling, but was knocked to the ground by Linling instead.
So to a certain extent, Lingling can be said to be invincible when she suffers from bulimia.
It seems that this lackey of the Celestial Dragons will die here today.
Although the current predicament could be resolved immediately, Su Rui still felt a little bit reluctant to see Lingling collapse and lose her mind.
If he was strong enough, Lingling wouldn’t have to induce bulimia to save him.
The masked man of CP0 used the Six Marine Techniques one by one on Lingling. He originally seemed to be able to do it with ease, but when he found out that his techniques could not hurt the huge five-year-old child in front of him, he started to panic.
“Even my Storm Legs can’t kill this monster?!”
The masked man became a little nervous, and seeing Lingling approaching step by step, he actually began to think of retreating.
Unfortunately, Lingling would not give him the chance to escape.
Just as the masked man was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, he was accidentally grabbed by Lingling. He tried to struggle free, but he found himself unable to move as if he was trapped by iron. Even his ribs seemed to be crushed.
“Iron!”
In desperation, the masked man had no choice but to use one of the six styles, the iron block, to try to defend against Lingling’s attack, but he didn’t expect that Lingling’s other fist would hit him hard on the head. Looking at the fist that was getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes, the masked man’s pupils also dilated.
One punch, another punch…
Su Rui leaned aside and had no idea how many punches Lingling had thrown at him.
Su Rui stood aside and was unable to step forward to stop it. After all, he knew very well that when Lingling had a bulimia attack, she would be like a heartless person. If he rashly stepped forward to interfere, he would most likely die at Lingling’s hands.
The masked man who was full of energy just now was now held in Lingling’s hand like a lifeless rag doll, with blood flowing all over the floor.
There is no doubt that the masked man has been killed by Lingling.
Several punches were thrown in succession. Perhaps Lingling was tired, or perhaps she had achieved her goal and her bulimia was relieved. Lingling’s hand loosened, and the masked man’s body collapsed to the ground, and Lingling fell down directly.
Seeing this, Su Rui rushed forward, enduring the pain in his body. He finally felt relieved after listening to Lingling’s steady breathing and loud snoring.
It shouldn’t be serious. It looks like he just fell asleep due to exhaustion.
After making sure Lingling was safe, Su Rui walked forward and took a look at the masked man’s body. He couldn’t help but sigh when he saw how miserable he was, having been beaten so badly that his appearance was unrecognizable.
“Lingling is indeed a monster.”
Chapter 5 Eat the Fruit (Old Version)
By the time Lingling woke up, Su Rui had already cleaned up the warship a little. After all, the miserable state of the CP0 member was indeed a bit scary. Even if it was Lingling who caused it, it was better not to let her see it. She probably wouldn’t remember what she had done at all.
Lingling sat up slowly and immediately smelled the aroma of food. Her eyes lit up immediately. Su Rui handed his roasted leg of meat to Lingling.
“Are you awake? Come eat.”
Lingling was delighted upon seeing this, and immediately reached out to take it and started to eat it in big mouthfuls. Although I already knew Lingling’s appetite, it still felt a little incredible to see a five-year-old child finish such a huge piece of meat in just two bites.
Only after Lingling had finished eating the mountain of food that had been piled up beside her did she burp in satisfaction.
After the problem of hunger was solved, Lingling belatedly remembered what happened before she fell into a coma.
“Brother?! Where are the bad guys from before?! Are they still around?!”
Seeing Lingling’s nervous expression, Su Rui smiled and comforted her.
“It’s all right now. My brother beat those bad guys away.”
Lingling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and looking at her reaction, Su Rui also realized that she really had no memory of her bulimia attack.
But this is also good. It is not a good thing to let a five-year-old child know how powerful he is.
“Lingling, you continue to rest here. I will go out and find out what’s going on.”
Su Rui smiled and said, “You have to stay here obediently and don’t go anywhere, otherwise it will be troublesome if your brother can’t find you later.”
Lingling was still obedient to Su Rui and nodded in agreement very straightforwardly.
“Lingling is waiting for her brother right here!”
After that, Su Rui gave a few more instructions and then got off the warship.
Lingling was unconscious for about two hours, so no one else came to chase them during this period, but that doesn’t mean they are safe.
Su Rui also thought about it for a while. The reason why no one else came was probably because CP0 did not think that their two children could defeat the members of CP0, so they did not send anyone extra to check. But if time was too long, they would definitely become suspicious.
So Su Rui decided to find out the situation carefully and leave here as soon as possible.
Su Rui became more vigilant and continued to investigate. Fortunately, he did not meet any naval personnel along the way. However, when he passed by a dense forest, his observation Haki made him feel that there seemed to be a person in the bushes.
You have to know that this is Elbaf. Normally speaking, there are no other ordinary humans except the giants. So who could this person be?
Su Rui immediately prepared for battle and approached the bushes step by step. The person hiding in the bushes must have sensed his hostility and hurried out before Su Rui got close to him.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”
I saw a short and fat man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy to Su Rui, but Su Rui was stunned when he saw his face clearly. Isn’t this the future head chef of the Big Mom Pirates, Long Bread?
I actually met him here?
Although this man is an important figure in the original story county, he is not of much use other than being able to make some food according to the ability of his fruit. Instead, he relies on Lingling to reap the benefits.
Su Rui didn’t have much good impression of such a person.
However, considering that they currently do not have much food source, this long bread still has some uses.
Thinking of this, Su Rui looked down at the long bread, but decided to go through the process and ask about his situation.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Long Bread!”
Long Mianbao felt that he was no match for the man in front of him. What’s more, he had just been hiding on the hill opposite and witnessed Su Rui and Lingling fighting with CP0 on the warship. Therefore, he was even more certain that he could not afford to offend the other party, so he was especially respectful.
“Please don’t kill me!”
Long Bread quickly said, “I am very useful! I am the power of the devil fruit. My fruit ability is the eating fruit. I can turn anything into food!”
After saying this, Long Bread began to show his skills. He drew out his sword, turned the hilt, and threw the sword into a large rock beside him. In an instant, the hard rock changed its shape.
Now this stone is edible!
The long bread spoke as if asking for credit, and at the same time cut a piece with his sword and handed it to Su Rui. Su Rui reached out to take it and put it in his mouth. Although it was indeed edible, it tasted like chewing wax.
“How about it? Just keep me here! As long as I’m here, you won’t have to worry about food!”
Long Bread rubbed his hands and spoke expectantly. Su Rui was a little disappointed with his ability to cook food, but he became slightly interested in his swordsmanship.
“Can you only turn stones into food? Can you turn other things into food?”
Su Rui asked knowingly, his purpose was to see his moves again. After all, he didn’t know any other weapons except the three colors of domineering, so it would always be a good idea to learn more.
“no problem!”
Long Bread immediately began to demonstrate his skills with all his might, while Su Rui was also silently learning his swordsmanship, slowly digesting and understanding it.
Su Rui asked him to stop only after the long bread had turned almost everything around it into food.
“Okay, just follow me first.”
Hearing this, Long Bread was overjoyed. After they returned to the warship, Su Rui handed the food made of long bread to Lingling. Unexpectedly, Lingling took a bite and spit it out.
It tastes terrible.
You know, Lingling is not picky about food. If she thinks it tastes bad, then the loaf of bread is of no use.
After all, the only purpose of the long bread is to satisfy Lingling’s appetite.
Seeing this scene, Su Rui immediately made a decision. Since the long bread was useless, there was no need to keep it.
“I’m sorry, my sister doesn’t like the food you cook, and we don’t need a burden.”
Su Rui turned his head and said with a smile. Long Mianbao’s heart suddenly tightened and he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to run away now.
He still threw a punch covered with Observation Haki. The long bread was not strong to begin with, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground after one punch.
Seeing that he had successfully dealt with this guy, Su Rui took his sword and threw it directly into the sea.
Although the man is useless, the sword is still pretty good.
Chapter 6: Bounty Order (Old Version)
After getting a new weapon, it is natural to practice it first.
Su Rui drew his sword, but there were no enemies at the moment. Recalling the swordsmanship he had learned from the long bread, Su Rui concentrated and swung his sword towards the sea.
I don’t know if it’s because his own abilities have changed greatly under the blessing of the system, or if the sword of the long bread is really powerful. When the sword went down, the sea in front of him was split into two like a cake being cut! Even the ground was exposed!
Lingling was also somewhat stunned by the scene in front of her, and immediately clapped and cheered for her brother.
“Brother is awesome! Brother is awesome!”
Su Rui himself was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that he had the talent to be a swordsman?
From this perspective, killing Long Bread and taking his sword is an extremely correct choice.
“Brother! There seems to be a sea king over there! We have food!”
While Su Rui was still immersed in shock, Lingling, who was extremely sensitive to food, immediately noticed the two huge sea kings that died from this blow.
Sea kings are a very common food in the sea, especially for people like Lingling who have a huge appetite, they are a rare delicacy.
Su Rui smiled and put the sword back into the scabbard.
“Let’s go and bring our food to the warship!”
Now we don t have to worry about food supplies for the voyage!
After preparing the food, Su Rui decided to leave Elbaf and go to a nearby country to look for new food.
One day later.
The naval headquarters in Marinford was in chaos at the moment because of an incident.
This matter was nothing else but the two kids, Su Rui and Lingling, who defeated the members of CP5 and CP0 and hijacked a warship.
“Children nowadays are becoming more and more terrible!”
Garp, who was still a major general at the moment, ate the senbei in his hand and laughed.
“Does our Navy Headquarters have to hold a special meeting to deal with even a child hijacking a warship?”
Sengoku on the side nudged Garp with his elbow, signaling him to pay attention to discipline, while Marshal Kong was also troubled by this matter.
“Garp! CP0 is an organization directly under the Celestial Dragons! This time, not only did they kill members of CP0, but they were also slaves that were supposed to be supplied to the Celestial Dragons!”
“The Celestial Dragons were furious this time, and demanded that our navy arrest those two kids!”
After hearing this, Karp became even more dissatisfied.
“Celestial Dragons? What are they?”
When He on the other side heard this, he slapped Garp on the head decisively, and Garp then calmed down a little.
Marshal Kong was no stranger to Garp’s temper. He ignored his words and continued to analyze the incident.
“According to the investigation report, this is a pair of siblings. According to previous information, the elder brother is an ordinary person with weak combat ability. It seems that he has learned domineering in a short period of time. Therefore, Su Rui has great growth potential, and we must pay close attention to this.”
“As for this sister, the deceased nun Carmelo has already said that she has a monstrous physique. She doesn’t have the blood of the giants, but she is huge in size, has an amazing appetite, and seems to have the tendency to go berserk… In short, she is not easy to deal with.”
After hearing Su Rui’s introduction, Cap was eager to try.
“An ordinary person learned to be domineering in such a short time? This is incredible. If I have the chance, I really want to fight him!”
Marshal Kong patted the table, indicating that he should take it seriously.
“There will definitely be a chance for a fight, but since this brother and sister have caused such a big incident, it is a foregone conclusion that they will become wanted criminals. They must be arrested as soon as possible to prevent them from causing even greater trouble!”
“yes!”
Finally, they decided on the bounty amounts for Su Rui and Ling Ling: 2,000w for Su Rui and 5,000w for Ling Ling.
Meanwhile, an island not far from Elbaf has been devastated.
The culprits behind all this are of course the brother and sister Su Rui and Lingling.
At this moment, Lingling was standing next to a dessert shop on the street. She kept picking up various desserts from the cupboard and stuffing them into her mouth frantically. She looked at Su Rui beside her with a happy face.
“Brother! Lingling has never eaten such delicious food! I am so happy!”
Su Rui smiled slightly when he heard this.
“That’s nothing! As long as you want to eat it, I will let you eat it every day in the future, and I will make it even more delicious!”
The smile on Lingling’s face became even brighter, and the speed at which she stuffed food into her mouth immediately increased a bit.
At this moment, Su Rui noticed that Lingling had stuffed a newspaper on the table into her mouth along with the dessert. He quickly stopped her and took out the newspaper.
“Don’t be anxious, eat slowly, your brother won’t snatch it from you. Look, you almost ate the newspaper.”
Su Rui spoke helplessly and was about to throw away the saliva-soaked newspaper in his hand, but suddenly noticed the two wanted posters sandwiched inside.
This…isn t this him and Lingling?
“Brother? Are we wanted criminals? Are we pirates now?”
Although Lingling was confused, she could clearly see what this thing was. Su Rui nodded, but after seeing the amount of their reward, he was a little disappointed.
“I guess I’m a pirate.”
Su Rui nodded, “But my bounty is 20 million, and Lingling’s is only 5 million.”
“This reward is too low.”
Lingling was a little dissatisfied. “Lingling and her brother are so powerful. This little bounty alone is not enough to prove our strength!”
Su Rui agreed with this statement. After all, this amount of money was indeed not enough. For killing a member of CP0, the bounty was not even 100 million?
This naval headquarters is a bit too stingy.
“Brother, where are we going next?”
Lingling burped, “It seems that all the desserts on this island have been eaten by Lingling.”
When Su Rui heard this question, he pondered for a moment, looked at the photo of Rocks on the cover of the newspaper, and quickly made a decision.
“Let’s go find him, Lox.”
After all, the pirate groups that are currently in the limelight are the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates.
And according to the original story line, Lingling also joined Rocks’s army. What’s more, Rocks is now recruiting soldiers. Following Lingling’s original route seems to be a good choice.
At least he knew how events would develop and could control what happened next.
Chapter 7 Captain John’s men? (Old version)
Beehive Island.
A few days later, Su Rui and Linling arrived at the base of the Rocks Pirates, Beehive Island.
Lingling was holding a huge piece of cake in her hand. When she looked at the huge skull on the island, she couldn’t help drooling.
“Brother, it would be great if the skull was edible. How long would it take Lingling to eat such a big piece?”
Su Rui couldn’t help laughing when he heard this.
“Isn’t the piece of cake you have enough for you? You’re still thinking about taking that skull!”
Lingling chuckled, and Su Rui took her hand and continued walking forward.
In Su Rui’s other hand was holding a huge cloth bag. The contents of the bag were none other than the various treasures they had looted on the previous island.
It is said that bandits have to show their loyalty if they want to join a gang. If they want to join Rocks’ pirate group, of course they have to show their sincerity. Otherwise, why would others accept them for no reason?
Su Rui still understood this matter of human relations.
However, after walking a few steps, the pirates on the island gathered together and surrounded them.
Sure enough, things didn’t go as smoothly as he imagined.
“Damn, I got so scared. I thought the navy was coming, but I didn’t expect that the ones driving the warship were actually two little brats?!”
The pirates looked Su Rui and Ling Ling up and down, and also noticed that the cloth bag in Su Rui’s hand seemed to be filled with treasures.
“Hey, this little brat still has a lot of money on him? What’s the matter? Do you want to pay tribute to me? Then hand it over honestly, and don’t let me do it myself!”
These words caused the surrounding pirates to burst into laughter, while Su Rui stared at them expressionlessly, his eyes full of vigilance.
“Wait, why do these two kids look familiar to me? I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before.”
One of the pirates seemed to have discovered something. After thinking for a while, he slapped his head and said,
“I remember now! I read in the newspaper a few days ago that two little brats destroyed a country on an island just by themselves!”
“Before that, it seems that they attacked some government personnel and stole a warship! The bounty seems to be more than 20 million!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the pirates who were ready to make a move became a little serious. After all, with such an amazing record, they dared not underestimate the two children in front of them.
“What are you doing on Beehive Island?”
A pirate asked tentatively, trying to find out the purpose of their coming here, but before Su Rui could answer, a burly man walked directly in front of Su Rui and Lingling.
“A little brat with a bounty of over 20 million has scared you guys?”
This person scoffed at Su Rui’s bounty.
“My bounty is over fifty million. Boy, just hand over what you have to me. Otherwise, if you force me to do something to you, it won’t be a problem that can be solved by losing an arm or a leg.”
“Cairns!”
Seeing someone take action, the pirates nearby immediately started cheering as if they were watching a good show.
“Keynes is Captain John’s capable general! The bounty on him is over 50 million! Dealing with these two brats is as easy as crushing two ants, right?!”
“That’s right! Cairns! When you get the treasure, remember to buy us a drink!”
“These two little brats are in trouble today!”

Seeing that everyone around him started to cheer, Su Rui looked down on them. How could a small character with a bounty of just over 50 million dare to challenge him?
“Boy, don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
Keynes originally thought that the two children would be so scared after hearing his bounty that they would immediately kneel down and offer the treasure with both hands. However, he did not expect that the two children were unmoved, and the huge girl next to them who looked like a monster was still eating the cake in her hand?
The feeling of being ignored was not good. Keynes stepped forward and knocked the cake out of Lingling’s hand and onto the ground.
“I’m calling you, monster! Can’t you hear me talking!?”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. This Keynes is really powerful. Lingling doesn’t have many weak spots, and food is the first one. He really knows how to step on landmines.
Lingling, whose food was knocked over, watched her delicious cake fall to the ground and get covered in dust. She was immediately furious.
“My! Cake!!!”
Before Keynes could react, Lingling grabbed Keynes’ head and pressed it heavily to the ground. A huge deep pit was created, and the sound scared the pirates watching around.
Keynes, who had been extremely arrogant, had now lost consciousness, rolled his eyes, and a large amount of blood was flowing from his head. He looked extremely miserable.
Su Rui was not surprised by Lingling’s strength, but he seemed to feel an unusual power in Lingling’s roar just now.
It seems… domineering?
Lingling will also be the owner of Conqueror’s Haki in the future. Could it be that she is about to awaken now?
This is an unexpected gain.
“Excuse me, everyone.”
Looking at the serious pirates around him, Su Rui smiled and said,
“My sister did scare you a little, but don’t worry, my sister is usually very kind. As long as you do what she asks, she won’t hurt you.”
“And her request is also very simple.”
Su Rui glanced around.
“My sister likes treasures. If you give us all your money, she will never do anything out of line again.”
The pirates couldn’t help but swallow their saliva when they heard this. After all, the pirates on the outskirts of the Beehive Island were basically just small fry, and Keynes, with a bounty of more than 50 million berries, was already considered the most powerful among them.
And this most powerful person had no ability to fight back in front of this five-year-old girl. If they were to fight, the result would be predictable.
What’s more, compared to the little girl, Su Rui, who has not taken any action yet, looks even more dangerous.
After all, his bounty is higher than Lingling’s!
The pirates were terrified when they thought of this, fearing that they would be attacked by Lingling in the same way. They hurried back to their residences and handed over all their treasures.
In a short while, the treasures in front of Su Rui piled up into a small hill.
Chapter 8 Rocks is back (old version)
Seeing how cooperative these pirates were, Su Rui was quite satisfied. At the same time, he also asked them about Rocks’ situation.
“Where’s your captain, Rocks?”
The pirates looked at each other for a few seconds, and one of them slowly gave an answer.
“Captain Rocks is not on Beehive Island right now.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows. No wonder these pirates were so cooperative. It turned out that the boss was not here. Otherwise, if Rocks was here, they would definitely inform the others and would never hand over the money obediently.
“How long will it take for him to come back?”
Su Rui continued to ask, and the pirate shook his head.
“I don’t know. The captain’s schedule is usually not fixed, and we don’t know exactly when he will be back.”
After all this time, it turns out the owner is not at home at all!
Su Rui was a little disappointed. He thought he would be able to see Rocks soon, but if he was not there, there was nothing he could do. He could only wait patiently.
“We have something to ask your Captain Rocks. If he’s not here, we’ll wait for him to come back. However, during this period, my sister and I will have food and lodging…”
Su Rui started to hint, and the pirates responded tactfully.
“Don’t worry! We’ve covered all your food and lodging! You don’t need to worry at all!”
Su Rui smiled and nodded, and the pirates immediately gave the best room to Su Rui and Lingling, and also hurriedly brought up their food.
“Oh my god! That monster is such a big eater!”
The pirates complained bitterly. Lingling had to eat enough food for so many people for several days in one meal, which was really too much for them to bear.
“How long are we going to have to live like this?! Captain Rocks, please come back soon! We can’t take it anymore!!”
The two extremely torturous days for the pirates on Beehive Island finally passed, until the flag of the Rocks Pirates appeared on the coastline, and the pirates immediately cheered.
“Captain Rocks is back! Captain Rocks is back!”
Su Rui was still sleeping in the house at this time. He walked out of the room when he heard the noise outside. Seeing that it was Rocks who came back, he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
“captain!”
As soon as Rocks got off the pirate ship, several pirates cried to him with snot and tears.
“Captain, you’re finally back! We’ve been having a hard time these past few days without you!”
“Two little brats came to the island, stole all our treasures, and wanted us to be their slaves!”
“Yes, yes! Captain, please save us!”
Rocks was also extremely surprised to hear this. How could two little brats torture his men like this?
Rocks understood the whole story. Although his men were bullied, he was not too angry. Instead, he became very interested in these two so-called little brats.
His pirate group is currently in its growing period, and if those two kids are really as talented as his subordinates say, recruiting them would be a good choice.
Take me to see it!
At this moment, Lingling was sitting outside enjoying her food, and she didn’t react much when she saw the stranger approaching.
“Captain, this is the monster!”
The subordinate introduced her to Rocks, who looked at Lingling in front of him and frowned.
After all, in his opinion, Lingling, apart from being a little too big, didn’t seem to be very aggressive. She wasn’t as scary as they described.
“You are Captain Rocks, right?”
Su Rui also came out at this time and greeted Rocks openly.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Su Rui, and this is my sister Lingling.”
Rocks was about to speak, and Captain John beside him noticed that his subordinate Cairns was tied to a tree nearby. The huge wound on his head and the dried blood made him look extremely miserable.
“Cairns?! Cairns?!”
Captain John was shocked and rushed forward to shake him, “Why did you tie up my people? Don’t you want to live?!”
Su Rui smiled and said,
“You are Captain John, right? Captain John, don’t be angry. It’s because you attacked my sister without permission, so my sister taught him a lesson.”
“I was afraid that he would continue to cause trouble after waking up, so I had him tied up. You won’t blame me, right?”
At this moment, Keynes was also awakened by Captain John. Seeing his boss coming back, Keynes’ eyes were filled with tears.
“Captain John… you are finally back…”
John became furious when he saw his men being tortured like this. Without saying a word, he immediately drew his two swords and slashed at Su Rui.
Su Rui had already anticipated his actions, and he also calmly drew his sword to respond, blocking Captain John’s attack with one hand.
Rocks’ eyes lit up as he watched this scene. You know, Captain John is currently a powerful fighter in his hands, and Su Rui in front of him can actually take his attack so easily?
It really should not be underestimated!
John failed in his first attack and was somewhat surprised by Su Rui’s strength. He immediately stopped underestimating him and attacked seriously, but the strength of the two was too close. The two sides fought back and forth, but it was still a draw.
After several rounds, Su Rui had a better understanding of Captain John’s strength. His own strength was still at a very basic level, and John was similar to him, and could be completely called a weakling.
No wonder his body was so easily taken away by Gekko Moriah after his death. His strength was indeed not that strong.
Captain John seemed particularly unwilling to accept the fact that he could not beat Su Rui. The two fought for a long time. Although he was already out of breath, he still did not want to give up. He had to save his face!
But Rocks had been watching for so long that he naturally understood the strength of the two of them. He knew that John would not be able to win if he continued to fight, so he stopped him directly.
“John, stop it.”
John said stubbornly, “I can definitely take care of this kid!”
“I told you to stop.”
Rocks repeated it, and no matter how reluctant John was, he had to put the sword back into the scabbard.
Su Rui saw that the opponent had stopped attacking and stopped as well. Rocks walked up to him and looked at him.
“You came here, and you should know that Honeycomb Island is my territory, Rocks, so what do you want to do here?”
Rocks said slowly, “If your answer can satisfy me, I can forgive you for bullying my men, but if not, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
Chapter 9: Join the Rocks Pirates! (Old Version)
Hearing this, Su Rui was not at all flustered, staring at Rocks’ eyes without dodging.
“What I want is very simple, that is to join the Rocks Pirates and become one of you.”
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Rocks’ face suddenly relaxed a little.
I thought the person came with bad intentions, but I didn’t expect that he was here to join me?
“It was not my intention to bully them.”
Since they were going to be in the same boat after all, Su Rui explained it briefly.
“Originally my sister and I came here with the treasure to give to you, Captain, but we didn’t expect them to blackmail us. My sister and I had no choice but to fight back. After all, if we were soft persimmons that could be easily bullied, I’m afraid you, Captain, would not agree to let us join them, right?”
As soon as these words came out, Rocks burst into laughter and patted Su Rui on the shoulder.
“Good boy! We welcome you to join the Rocks Pirates! I like strong men like you the most!”
Seeing that Rocks readily accepted him and his sister, Su Rui felt relieved.
Fortunately, Rocks is a magnanimous person. If he holds a grudge against me because I dealt with his men, it would not be easy for me to get away.
John, who was standing by, was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and immediately said,
“Captain! This guy made my men like this. How could you let such a person join us…”
“We are all in the same boat now, so please stop saying these things.”
Rocks interrupted John directly.
“I declare that from now on, Su Rui and Ling Ling are members of our Rocks Pirates!”
John wanted to say a few more words, but Rocks didn’t give him the chance to continue speaking. Instead, he started introducing Su Rui directly.
“We in the Rocks Pirates don’t have too many complicated rules, nor do we have any regulations. As long as you are strong enough, you can gain a foothold here, and you can also establish your own territory anytime and anywhere. We will not interfere too much with these.”
Then Rocks began to introduce some of the leaders of the pirate group.
“This is Edward Newgate.”
Su Rui had already noticed this tall man a long time ago and estimated his height, which should be over six meters. And after hearing his name, he found out that he was indeed the future famous Four Emperors Whitebeard.
The white-bearded man is still very young now, with blond hair and a very bright smile on his face. After Rocks finished the introduction, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Su Rui.
“Just call me Newgate.”
Su Rui naturally had great respect for this hero. Thinking of his miserable ending in the original world, he couldn’t help but sigh. He reached out his hand solemnly and shook Whitebeard’s hand.
“I’m Su Rui, please take care of me in the future.”
“As for the guy next to me, you two already know each other after fighting just now.”
Rocks continued to introduce John beside him, but John was obviously still a little unconvinced. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Su Rui didn’t care about this, but according to Rocks’ introduction, his pirate group is still in its early stages, and heavyweights like Golden Lion and Kaido have not yet joined.
But these are not very important.
“I really like the system of our pirate group. It suits my heart. I am planning to develop my own power.”
Su Rui also directly and bluntly exposed his ambitions, but this did not anger Rocks, the leader, but instead made him admire Su Rui even more.
“Look at our newcomer.”
Rocks smiled and said, “We really have an arrogant boy here!”
The other officers also laughed out loud, and the only one who couldn’t laugh was Captain John.
“Let’s go! Have a party! Celebrate having a new member join us!”
Rocks shouted, and as soon as he said this, he immediately received a response from everyone. Lingling, who was eating quietly on the side, also became happy when she heard that a banquet was going to be held.
“Great! Let’s have a party!”
A certain sea area.
“Report to Major General Zhan Guo! The soldiers who were tracking the warship hijacked by Su Rui sent a report that the warship had been docked at Beehive Island for several days and had not moved!”
A soldier told Zhan Guo what they had discovered, and Zhan Guo frowned when he heard this.
“Beehive Island? Isn’t that the base of the Rocks Pirates?”
It s incredible!
Karp on the side looked extremely relaxed.
“Recently, the Rocks Pirates have been causing trouble on this sea. How could Su Rui get together with such people? It turns out that troublesome guys always like to stick together!”
Sengoku was extremely helpless when he saw Garp’s careless appearance. He could only look at the soldiers who came to report.
“Keep tracking their situation and report any movement immediately!”
The one-day and one-night carnival on Beehive Island finally came to an end. Lingling touched her bulging belly, feeling a little unsatisfied.
“Brother, why should we leave this place? There are so many delicious foods here, Lingling doesn’t want to leave.”
“Lingling, be good.”
Su Rui spoke to comfort Lingling, “We won’t go too far, we’ll just stay nearby. Although Beehive Island is good, there are too many people here, and we won’t be free after all. We can find a small island to set up our own territory, so it will be more convenient for us to do things this way.”
Lingling seemed to understand, but she never questioned Su Rui’s decisions. She nodded and agreed.
“You guys come with us.”
Su Rui looked at the pirates behind him. After being called, he rushed forward with excitement.
“Brother Su Rui, what do you want to talk to us about? Do you want to take us with you and develop us into your subordinates?”
“If you want to become my subordinate, you have to pass the test.”
Su Rui smiled faintly, “My sister and I are going to settle down on the small island next door. We are short of a few people to build a house. Are you willing to help?”
“Yes, yes, of course!”
Several pirates nodded repeatedly. After all, they had already witnessed Su Rui’s strength and saw Rocks’ admiration for him, so naturally they wanted to curry favor with him!
Soon, several people arrived at the next island on the robbed warship. Su Rui was very satisfied when he saw these pirates building houses for them with extremely skillful hands and feet.
“Brother, these treasures should last us a long time, right?”
Lingling looked at the money piled aside and spoke.
This money not only includes the money they got from looting the previous country, but also the money extorted from the minions in the Rocks Pirates. It is indeed a considerable amount.
Chapter 10: The King of the Kingdom of Women?! (Old Version)
However, the peaceful days did not last long. Soon, the Den Den Mushi that Rocks gave to Su Rui started ringing.
“Captain Rocks.”
Su Rui answered the Den Den Mushi call.
What s going on?
“There is an action. Come to Honeycomb Island and meet us immediately.”
There was a hint of excitement in Rocks’ tone. Su Rui raised his eyebrows and immediately rushed over with Lingling without saying a word.
“You guys came quickly.”
Rocks saw Su Rui and Lingling arriving and immediately asked them to sit down. The cadres of the pirate group had already gathered together and began to discuss the operation.
“We recently received news that a batch of heavenly gold will be shipped to Mary Geoise soon, and what we need to do is to grab this batch of heavenly gold.”
Locke issued a concise and clear action plan.
“But it is worth noting that in addition to Tenshojin, there are also several relatively precious devil fruits on this ship. One of the fruits seems to be the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.”
Swallow the fruit?
Su Rui was a little surprised to hear this. The Swallow Swallow Fruit can not only swallow anything, but after eating this fruit, it seems that one can also rely on the power of the fruit to devour the abilities of other people with special abilities. It seems that this is a fruit with unlimited potential.
John was the first to stand up and support this action. Perhaps because he did not perform well last time, he was particularly active this time.
“Captain, let’s follow the old rules and set off quickly. I can’t wait!”
A warship in the sea in the distance.
Hehehe
The celestial dragons with bubble masks on their heads were playing with a few devil fruits in their hands, while crawling at their feet were slaves with seastone chains around their necks.
And one of the slaves is Flame Flower, the current emperor of the Kingdom of Amazon Lily.
“If you eat this devil fruit, what abilities will you gain?”
The Celestial Dragon stood up and slowly approached Flame Flower, but Flame Flower’s eyes were full of disgust and fear. She shook her head and retreated. However, this warship was completely the Celestial Dragon’s territory, so she naturally could not escape.
“Eat it quickly!”
The Celestial Dragon stepped forward and grabbed Flame Flower’s hair, and was about to stuff the Devil Fruit in his hand into her mouth. At this moment, the soldier in charge of lookout immediately stepped forward to report the situation.
“Report to Lord Celestial Dragon! There is a pirate ship ahead! It seems to be the Rocks Pirates!”
As soon as the marine finished speaking, the Celestial Dragon raised his gun and knocked him to the ground.
“You lowly common people!”
The Celestial Dragon cursed, “Can’t you see I’m busy? How dare you ruin my fun!”
The CP0 members who were guarding on the side had no expression on their faces. They must have been accustomed to such scenes.
“My Lord, be careful!”
Just as the Celestial Dragon was about to continue feeding the devil fruit, the entire warship suddenly began to shake violently, as if the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning, and the entire sea was stirred up by huge waves.
Is this Rocks’ ability?
Su Rui didn’t have time to sigh about this, he turned around and told Lingling beside him,
“Lingling! Take care of yourself!”
After saying this, Su Rui took the lead and flew onto the warship. The reason why he acted so quickly was certainly not to show off in front of Rocks. Su Rui’s goal was very clear, what he wanted was the Swallow-Swallow Fruit!
As soon as Su Rui’s feet landed on the deck, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly sounded a prompt again.
“Ding, [Recruitable candidates] appear, please try your best to recruit them.”
oh?
Su Rui was a little surprised and immediately opened the system panel to check who this sudden recruit was. This look really surprised him.
It turns out to be the current king of the Kingdom of Women, Flame Flower?
She actually fell into the hands of the Celestial Dragons?
However, the situation is urgent now, and Su Rui has no time to think about how she ended up in such a situation. He used his observation Haki to immediately lock the location of the flame flower.
Fortunately, the other members of the Rocks Pirates launched an attack. In such a chaotic situation, the CP0 people would of course give priority to protecting the Celestial Dragons, and of course no one would care about these slaves who were being played with.
“Are you Flame Flower?”
Su Rui quickly came to Huoyanhua and said, “Do you want to join my family and go out to sea as a pirate with me? If you are willing, I will rescue you right now.”
Flame Flower had suffered humiliation at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, and now that someone was willing to rescue her, she agreed without hesitation, without thinking twice.
“I’m willing to go with you!”
After receiving this affirmative answer, Su Rui did not hesitate and directly drew his sword to cut off the shackles that bound the flame flower. At the same time, the mechanical sound of the system rang out.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting a new member [Flame Flower], and receiving the reward: [Lingling’s physical inheritance] [Advanced Swordsmanship]”
Su Rui frowned when he heard the reward. Advanced swordsmanship was fine, but what did Lingling’s physique inheritance mean?
Isn’t it to let him have a baby?!
At the same time, the Celestial Dragons, who were attacked by the navy, saw the enemy’s aggressive attack and realized that something was wrong. They immediately pulled a few navy soldiers to be their shields and cursed at them.
“You bunch of idiots, why don’t you come and protect me! If I get even a scratch on my skin, you’ll all die!”
“You go first, the Rocks Pirates’ ship is over there, just jump over there.”
Su Rui pushed Flame Flower, and Flame Flower just wanted to escape, so she did so immediately.
At the same time, he glanced over there. Su Rui recognized the Swallowing Fruit, which was just being played with by the Celestial Dragon. Now it had fallen to the ground in the chaos. He must get this thing.
Thinking of this, Su Rui immediately walked over quickly and tried to take the fruit. However, a rear admiral beside him noticed his action and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
“Damn pirate! Don’t even think about taking it away!”
It s a pity that Su Rui had just inherited advanced swordsmanship from the system. A mere rear admiral?
He now doesn’t take these navy officers seriously at all.
Su Rui drew his sword and slashed it with a clean and sharp blow. The rear admiral fell to the ground immediately without any attempt to stop him.
“This advanced swordsmanship is really good.”
Su Rui muttered as he squatted down and picked up the devil fruit. Looking at the familiar patterns on the fruit and confirming that this was the Swallow Fruit, Su Rui stuffed the fruit into his mouth without hesitation and took a big bite.
Tsk, it really tastes terrible.
Chapter 11 Golden Lion! (Old Version)
However, before Su Rui could finish eating the devil fruit and experience the changes that the fruit brought to his body, suddenly, a blond man with a cigar in his mouth suddenly appeared in front of Su Rui.
This is… Shiki the Golden Lion!
Su Rui was really surprised to suddenly see what so many influential figures looked like when they were young.
After all, the difference between their young and old appearances is really too big. If the blond man in front of him was not floating in the air, Su Rui would have difficulty confirming his identity.
After all, this is obviously the ability of the Float-Float Fruit!
“Golden Lion Shiki, I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Su Rui immediately took a step back and distanced himself. Golden Lion was a little surprised to hear that the strange boy in front of him actually called out his name accurately.
“I didn’t expect that I’d be so famous! Anyone can recognize me! Hahahahahaha!”
Su Rui did not comment on this. The Golden Lion’s eyes focused. He saw it when he was in mid-air just now. It was Su Rui who picked up the Swallowing Fruit!
“But boy, it was you who took the Swallow Fruit just now!”
The Golden Lion’s expression became more ferocious. “Are you a new member of the Rocks Pirates? I advise you to hand over the fruit to me right away!”
“Since you know my name, you should be aware of my strength. As long as you cooperate with me obediently, I can reluctantly spare your life!”
After saying this, the Golden Lion looked around again.
“And where is the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters, Flame Flower? She was here just now. Did you take her away? Hand her over to me too!”
Su Rui couldn’t help but find it a little funny when listening to what he said. This Golden Lion really wants everything!
With such a big appetite, you re not afraid of eating yourself to death.
But from what Golden Lion said, he probably didn’t see that the Swallowing Fruit had been eaten by Su Rui, right?
This is a good thing. After all, if the golden lion knew that the fruit had been eaten, he would inevitably be angry and embarrassed.
But since the other party is an enemy, what Su Rui has to do is very simple!
Su Rui drew his sword again without saying a word, and the ferocious sword intent startled the Golden Lion.
Perhaps it didn’t expect Su Rui to fight back directly, or perhaps it felt that Su Rui was too young and looked like a small minion with no strength, the defenseless Golden Lion was knocked away by Su Rui in one fell swoop.
“Good boy!”
The golden lion was not annoyed and quickly stabilized his body.
“I didn’t expect you to be so powerful at such a young age! I underestimated you!”
Su Rui did not answer. After all, he was facing a strong enemy like the Golden Lion. A moment of negligence would lead to defeat.
This is his first battle after joining the Rocks Pirates. If he loses miserably right at the start, he won t be able to establish his prestige in the pirate group!
“Come again!”
Su Rui swung his sword again to attack back. This time, the Golden Lion was fully prepared. He also raised his sword, and a huge sword energy immediately rushed towards Su Rui.
Chopping!
Su Rui also noticed the unusual power of this attack, and his expression became a little more serious. He gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and blocked the attack.
As expected, the Golden Lion is the Golden Lion. Based on Su Rui s current strength, it is still a little bit difficult to defeat him!
“Kid! Not many people can block my move! You are one of them!”
The golden lion laughed loudly towards the sky, but he did not slow down his attacks at all. He continued to attack Su Rui with several slashes.
Su Rui’s sword was still resisting the “cutting wave” from the Golden Lion. Seeing other attacks coming, it was too late to dodge!
In a hurry, Su Rui gritted his teeth, held the sword in his right hand, and quickly moved his left hand in the air twice, which even made a faint sound of breaking wind!
What was even more astonishing was that these two strikes were actually quickly transformed into sword energy, and violently collided with the slash from the golden lion in the air, erupting with a huge noise. After the two sword energies were deadlocked in mid-air for a while, they actually canceled each other out in the end? !
Golden Lion was stunned when he saw this scene. It was the first time he saw such a move!
Who is this kid?!
Seeing that he repeatedly failed to gain any advantage in swordsmanship, Golden Lion became a little anxious. He simply gave up fighting Su Rui and instead directly used his fruit ability, the Float-Float Fruit.
“Lion Power!”
The Golden Lion suddenly put his hands on the deck, and the entire deck was overturned, and Su Rui’s place was naturally not spared.
However, this trick naturally had no effect on Su Rui, who was proficient in Observation Haki. Su Rui gathered strength with his feet, and stood up quickly before the deck under his feet was overturned. He kicked the mast beside him to gain leverage, and continued to swing the sword towards the direction of the golden lion.
Just when the two were fighting fiercely, Rocks appeared at some point, stood directly between them and stopped the fight.
“Stop it!”
Rocks is now Su Rui’s captain, so Su Rui naturally has to listen to him. He immediately stopped the attack and stopped fighting. The Golden Lion looked at Su Rui and stopped attacking, and did not continue to attack.
“The cowardly Celestial Dragons have been taken away by CP0. We have already got the Celestial Gold and the Devil Fruit.”
Rocks said, “Golden Lion, we are both pirates, there is no need for us to continue fighting among ourselves. If you want to have a piece of the pie, you can join my Rocks Pirates.”
When Golden Lion heard this, his expression changed. After all, in this ocean, the Rocks Pirates are indeed very famous and their strength is obvious to all. If they could really join, it would be a good choice.
“You can let me join you, but I want to eat the fruit.”
The Golden Lion put forward his conditions straightforwardly, and Rocks frowned.
“It seems we didn’t get the Swallow Fruit.”
“Isn’t the Swallow-Swallow Fruit on this kid?”
The golden lion pointed at Su Rui, but unfortunately Su Rui had already eaten the Swallowing Fruit. Even if the golden lion asked him for it now, he couldn’t give it out.
However, seeing that Rocks now wants to recruit Golden Lion, if Su Rui tells the truth, I’m afraid that Golden Lion will be so angry that he will turn around and leave, right?
To be on the safe side, it’s better not to tell the truth for now.
“I never said that the Swallow-Swallow Fruit was with me.”
Su Rui spread his hands and showed his pockets all over his body. After making sure that all the pockets were empty, he said,
“Maybe you saw it wrong. The Swallow-Swallow Fruit is definitely not on me.”
Because it’s in my stomach.
Chapter 12: Reward of 50 Million (Old Version)
Golden Lion couldn’t help but feel a little strange when he heard this. He saw it clearly in the air just now, so how could it not be on him?
But seeing as how there was indeed no place on this kid’s body where the fruit was hidden, maybe he really had seen it wrong.
“If not, forget it.”
Golden Lion was not a man who cared about small matters. “This guy in your group is pretty good. He was able to fight me for several rounds!”
“I think you’re not bad either.”
Su Rui answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, “There are not many people who can fight with me so much.”
Golden Lion was even more amused after hearing his answer. The two of them looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter at the same time.
Rocks was also extremely satisfied with their gains today. Not only did he successfully obtain the Celestial Dragons’ Heavenly Gold and several Devil Fruits, he also successfully recruited the powerful Golden Lion Shiki. It can be said that he had reaped a lot of rewards!
But it’s the Swallowing Fruit…
Rocks is not a fool who can be fooled easily. Thinking back to what Su Rui said, he always feels that the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is related to Su Rui.
But…
This Swallowing Fruit doesn’t seem to be a very special thing. If Su Rui wants it, it’s not a big deal to keep it for himself.
After all, there are no rules in the Rocks Pirates.
“By the way, Su Rui, how old are you this year?”
Golden Lion and Su Rui could be said to have become acquainted with each other through fighting. The two immediately began to get to know each other and asked about each other’s situation.
“I’m eighteen.”
Su Rui had nothing to hide about his age, so he answered honestly. However, Golden Lion was surprised when he heard this.
“You’re only eighteen years old!?”
The Golden Lion’s face was full of disbelief. “You are only eighteen years old and you can fight me evenly. Although your current strength is still a little bit behind mine, so far, such a young and powerful person has never appeared in this sea!”
“If you are given a few more years to grow up, you will definitely become the most difficult enemy of the navy, or even the entire world government!”
Seeing that he had received such high praise from the Golden Lion, Su Rui felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand.
“My situation is nothing. I have a five-year-old sister. If she really gets angry, I’m afraid I won’t be her match!”
“oh?!”
The Golden Lion became interested, “Then you must introduce him to me!”
Rocks watched this scene from the side, with some emotion in his eyes.
It was not difficult for him to see from the battle between Su Rui and the Golden Lion just now that Su Rui’s strength had increased greatly in these few short days, and his temperament was completely different from when he had just arrived on the Honeycomb Island a few days ago.
He has made such great progress in such a short period of time. He is truly a monster newcomer who should not be underestimated.
“Alright! Let’s talk about it when we get back to Beehive Island!”
Rocks interrupted the conversation between Su Rui and Golden Lion.
“We are robbing the Celestial Dragons! Pack up your things and leave immediately, otherwise the Celestial Dragons’ lackeys will smell the scent and come knocking on our door!”
Soon, the news that the ship carrying the Celestial Dragons was looted by the Rocks Pirates and the tribute of Tenjo Gold and Devil Fruits was stolen soon reached the Navy Headquarters.
“It’s the Rocks Pirates again!”
Marshal Kong slammed the table fiercely, “This pirate group has repeatedly challenged the dignity of the Celestial Dragons and our Navy Headquarters! We can’t let this go on any longer!”
“And according to intelligence, the most active person in this incident is Su Rui, who just joined the Rocks Pirates. He is the kid who killed the CP0 members and Sister Carmelo some time ago.”
Major General He added, which made Marshal Kong even angrier.
“Increase Su Rui’s bounty immediately! This guy is becoming more and more arrogant!”
“Not only that, another pirate who has been making waves on the sea, Shiki the Golden Lion, has also joined the Rocks Pirates.”
Major General Sengoku continued, “We should be able to officially put the annihilation of the Rocks Pirates on the agenda. As Rocks’ fame continues to grow, more vicious criminals will choose to follow him in the future.”
“If this continues, the Rocks Pirates may become a cancer that our Navy Headquarters cannot easily shake.”
“Indeed.”
Marshal Kong looked solemn, “Increase Su Rui’s bounty to 50 million berries. At the same time, we should also formulate a plan to annihilate the Rocks Pirates.”
Compared to the tense atmosphere at the Navy Headquarters, Honeycomb Island at this moment is filled with a happy atmosphere.
“Congratulations, Captain!”
The pirates were having a banquet and raised their glasses to congratulate Rocks.
“Congratulations Captain for gaining two new members!”
“One is our famous Golden Lion Shiki, and the other is… the King of the Kingdom of Women, Flame Flower!”
As the king of the Kingdom of Women, Huoyanhua originally had no contact with men and even hated men. However, during one of her voyages to the sea, she was accidentally kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to the Celestial Dragons. After suffering humiliation at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, she became even more resistant to men.
And now this environment full of men obviously made her feel a little at a loss.
“Stop making fun of her.”
Su Rui naturally understood Flame Flower’s situation, and immediately stood in front of her.
“Flame Flower is rather shy, and she joined my army, so… please don’t disturb her too much for now. I believe the captain has no objection to this, right?”
Rocks naturally didn’t care about this kind of thing and directly agreed to Su Rui’s request.
“It’s up to you to decide who you bring back.”
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little regretful when they heard this. After all, since Flame Flower could become the King of the Kingdom of Women, she must be extremely beautiful. However, Su Rui ruined their chance to get close to Flame Flower with just one sentence. How could people not feel regretful?
“Thank you.”
Of course, Flame Flower also noticed Su Rui’s protection for her. Although she didn’t understand why Su Rui chose her and saved her at the first place, Flame Flower’s gratitude to Su Rui came from the bottom of her heart.
“Aren’t you hungry, sister?”
Lingling, who was eating heartily, gave a piece of dessert to Flame Flower in the corner.
“Hurry up and eat! The food on Beehive Island is delicious. If you don’t eat quickly, Lingling will eat it all by herself!”
After hearing Lingling’s words, Flame Flower finally showed her first smile.
After the banquet on Beehive Island was over, Su Rui took Lingling and Huoyanhua back to their own island and began to count the spoils they had obtained in this battle.
Chapter 13 Monster Daughter?! (Old Version)
It has to be said that their harvest this time was really rich enough. Su Rui was quite proud of himself as he watched his first victory after joining the Rocks Pirates.
However, compared to these trophies, Su Rui was more concerned about what the reward the system would give him after recruiting Flame Flower was.
“Lingling’s physical inheritance?”
Su Rui muttered to himself while opening the system panel, clicking on his own information, and immediately looking up the explanation about this physique.
“This type of physique is the same monster physique as Charlotte Lingling. After the host obtains this physique, it can be passed on to future generations through blood ties.”
Su Rui looked at this explanation and couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. Does this mean that all of his descendants will also have this kind of monstrous physique? !
Su Rui couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling at the thought that in the future he would have a family pirate group composed entirely of these monsters.
But it’s still a little too early to think about this now. After all, he hasn’t even started talking about offspring yet!
At this moment, someone knocked on Su Rui’s door. There was no need to guess, it must be Flame Flower. After all, there were only three of them on the island, and Lingling would not be polite enough to knock on the door.
“Enter.”
Su Rui responded, retracted the system panel, and looked towards the door.
After getting Su Rui’s permission, the door was pushed open, and the person who walked in was indeed Flame Flower.
Perhaps because she drank some wine at the celebration party just now, Flame Flower’s face was a little red, making her look even more delicate.
“Flame Flower, why aren’t you resting so late? Is there something you want to talk to me about?”
Su Rui asked the question with a smile, but Flame Flower looked at him with a somewhat evasive look.
This reminded Su Rui of Flame Flower’s experience in the original world line. She was originally the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, but after she fell in love with love, she went out to sea and later joined the Rocks Pirates.
And she, who has always hated men, actually came to me at such a late hour. Could it be… ?
Su Rui swallowed, and Flame Flower’s shy look confirmed his guess.
Could it be that Flame Flower really fell in love with him because he rescued her from the Celestial Dragons?
“Su Rui.”
Flame Flower seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak.
“Can I stay with you tonight?”
It would be a lie for Su Rui to say that he was not moved when such a beautiful lady made such a request. You have to know that the person in front of him is the Pirate Queen!
It seems…he will take the first step towards forming his own family pirate group today.
On the morning of the third day, he was startled by a sudden notification sound from the system while he was still asleep.
“Ding, the existence of the host’s offspring has been detected. Should we use [Physical Inheritance] on our daughter?”
Su Rui was stunned when he heard this. Daughter? Offspring?
No, where did he get his daughter?
It was not until the Flame Flower lying next to him spoke in a dream that Su Rui finally reacted belatedly.
Could it be that the system meant that… the Flame Flower appeared? !
This… is the system so smart!? It can even detect this!?
However, besides being surprised, Su Rui was still more or less in disbelief. After all… this was too fast!
The system prompt sounded again, urging Su Rui to make a choice, which also quickly made him wake up from his surprise.
But regarding this choice…it must be passed on!
In the blink of an eye, a year later.
“Brother! Where is my little niece!?”
Lingling, who had been away for several months, rushed back excitedly. It had been two months since Su Rui’s daughter Su Wan was born.
In the past year, Su Rui did not participate much in the pirate group’s operations because he had to take care of the pregnant Fire Flower, and Linling filled this gap for him.
Nowadays, she has become famous in the entire pirate group, and her fame is even surpassing that of her brother Su Rui.
“Here it is.”
Huoyanhua held the baby in her arms and spoke with a smile. The tiny child and Lingling’s huge body formed a sharp contrast. Looking at her brother’s daughter, Lingling changed her usual wild behavior and carefully held Su Wan in her arms, while the gifts she brought back were scattered all over the floor.
“Lingling, did your voyage go smoothly this time?”
Su Rui said with a smile, and glanced at the spoils that Lingling had thrown on the ground. There were quite a lot of treasures, devil fruits and weapons.
“It went smoothly! Of course it went smoothly! We beat those bastards to a pulp! If my brother was with us, it would have gone even smoother!”
Speaking of this, Lingling couldn’t help but complain,
“Brother hasn’t gone out to sea with us for a long time! Xiaowan has grown up now, brother can’t use her as an excuse to postpone the operation in the future!”
Su Rui smiled. Why didn’t he want to participate in the action?
But after all, Su Wan is his first child, so naturally he has to pay more attention to her. However, what Lingling said is right. After being silent for so long, it is time for him to go out and take action, otherwise he will be left behind by the tide of the times.
“Huh?”
Xiaowan in Lingling’s arms seemed to be attracted by an axe on the ground, and she waved her little hands and was about to move towards that direction.
Seeing that she wanted the axe, Lingling picked up the axe and tried to play with Xiaowan. However, no one expected that the moment Xiaowan’s hand touched the axe, the dark armed color domineering actually covered the entire axe.
“Is this Armament Haki?! Xiaowan can actually use Armament Haki?!”
Flame Flower was surprised and delighted when she saw this scene. Although everyone in Amazon Lily’s family could use domineering aura, this was the first time someone had shown such talent in infancy!
“Xiao Wan is only two months old, and she’s already so strong?! Brother! Your daughter is too strong! She will definitely become stronger than Ling Ling in the future!”
Lingling couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, and Su Rui himself was equally shocked.
With this unparalleled domineering talent, coupled with the monster physique added by the system, Su Rui really found it hard to imagine what level of monster his daughter Xiaowan would become in the future.
In addition to these, Su Rui believed that his daughter would definitely inherit his talent for swordsmanship, and he remembered that Hawkeye once said that as long as the domineering power was strong enough, all weapons could become supreme swords!
Chapter 14 New Action (Old Version)
However, Su Rui’s daughter Su Wan brought him much more surprises than that.
As early as when Su Wan was born, the system gave Su Rui a reward to strengthen his physique again. However, Su Rui did not know to what extent this reward had strengthened his body. He was just waiting for the next battle to test the waters.
“Congratulations, Su Rui.”
Just as the family was happily immersed in the atmosphere of discovering Su Wan’s amazing talent, their captain Rocks landed on the island and came to Su Rui.
“captain.”
Several people greeted Rocks in unison. Rocks waved his hand, smiled, made a face to tease Su Wan, and then started talking about business.
“I’m here today to congratulate you on the birth of your daughter.”
As he said this, Rocks threw a small wooden box to Su Rui.
“Open it and take a look. This is an incredible gift. Other cadres have been coveting it for a long time, but I didn’t give it to them. I came all the way here today to give it to you.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He took the wooden box and opened it directly. He saw a strangely shaped devil fruit inside.
“Captain, what is this…?”
“This is a mythical beast-type devil fruit.”
Rocks said, “I don’t know what kind of mythical beast it is, but you should also know that the fruits of mythical beasts are always good. Just accept it.”
Su Rui would certainly not refuse such a good thing that was delivered to his doorstep, nor did he make excuses to Rocks. He accepted it directly because he knew that Rocks was not so idle as to come over in person just to give him a devil fruit. He must have something else to ask him.
“Also, you’ve already had a year off, it’s time to get out and move around.”
Rocks began to talk about the main point, “In two days, our Rocks Pirates will have a big operation. All cadres need to be dispatched. The goal is to seize several rare devil fruits. It should be no problem for you.”
Su Rui smiled when he heard this.
“Captain, it’s really a coincidence. I was just discussing with Lingling whether we should go out and exercise, and now we have a new action.”
“Don’t worry, Captain. I will definitely participate in this operation.”
After getting Su Rui’s assurance, Rocks didn’t say anything more. He teased Su Wan for a while and then went straight back to Honeycomb Island.
“You still don’t have to participate in this operation.”
Su Rui instructed Huoyanhua beside him, “Just take good care of Xiaowan at home.”
When Flame Flower heard this, she felt a little worried.
“The captain rarely comes to you in person to ask you to participate in a mission in such a serious manner. The danger this time should be quite high. Are you… sure?”
Su Rui stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, and said with a smile,
“What? Now even you think that my strength has declined? Don’t worry, Lingling and I will definitely come back to see you two safely.”
the next day.
All the officers of the Rocks Pirates have gathered, and the ship has arrived at the sea near the destination.
Su Rui looked around and found that basically everyone was there. The Golden Lion Shiki looked at Su Rui, who had not participated in any action for a long time, and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
“Su Rui! It’s been a long time since we last met! You finally decided to come out and participate in the mission! Your strength hasn’t declined, has it?! Don’t hold us back later!”
Su Rui smiled faintly after hearing this, “Don’t worry, it’s you who should not hold me back.”
Lingling immediately chimed in.
“That’s right! Golden Lion, just take care of yourself! My brother is the most powerful in the world, you don’t need to worry about him!”
In the end, it was Rocks’s speech that interrupted their conversation.
“My friends, according to the information we have so far, a large auction will be held on the island ahead. The focus of this auction, which is also our goal, is the three devil fruits.”
“These three devil fruits are the Animal, Nature, and Parahuman devil fruits. We must get these three this time. Remember!?”
As soon as Rocks finished speaking, everyone began to respond with cheers, and the ship slowly moved towards the target island.
When he got closer, Su Rui couldn’t help but be amazed when he saw the densely packed warships surrounding the island.
This scene is even more shocking than the Demon-Slaying Order!
“Why are there so many navies?”
Su Rui frowned slightly, “Isn’t it just an auction? Just three rare devil fruits, is it worthy of the Navy’s attention?”
“If it was just a devil fruit, the navy wouldn’t take it so seriously.”
Shiki the Golden Lion explained, “The targets of these navy missions are not the devil fruits, but the celestial dragons who are attending the auction this time, and various important figures from all over the world.”
After this explanation, Su Rui understood. Indeed, in this world, the status of useless Celestial Dragons is different.
“But what if there are Celestial Dragons?”
There was a bit of fanaticism in the eyes of Shiki the Golden Lion. “What I hate most are these Celestial Dragons. It just so happens that they are here this time. I’m going to find a few Celestial Dragons to beat up today to satisfy my craving!”
These words fell into Rocks’ ears, and Rocks laughed out loud.
“Shiki is ambitious! Then let’s see who can capture more Celestial Dragons today!”
Although Su Rui also disdained the existence of the Celestial Dragons, the people in the Rocks Pirates were really crazier than each other. After all, just the name of the Celestial Dragons was enough to scare people outside, and they were competing to see who could capture more Celestial Dragons!
They really are worthy of being the Rocks Pirates!
But compared to the fanatical Rocks and the golden lion Shiki, the white-bearded Newgate on the side was much calmer. He held his big wine jug and drank wine, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Su Rui stood aside with Lingling. Although the atmosphere on the Rocks Pirates’ side seemed relaxed, since there were Celestial Dragons on the opposite side, the navy guards must be strong. No matter what, they still could not underestimate the enemy and had to treat them with caution.
Seeing that the ships of the Rocks Pirates were getting closer, the warships around the island turned their bows and pointed their guns at them, and Rocks immediately prepared to give orders.
“Guys! Are you all ready?!”
In response to Rocks, the pirates roared wildly. Seeing that the atmosphere had been mobilized, Rocks gave an order and the pirates began to act.
“Break through the navy’s encirclement! Land on the island and seize the devil fruit! Destroy the Celestial Dragons!”
Chapter 15 Three Devil Fruits (Old Version)
“Dark Cave Road!”
Rocks was seen with black gas coming out of his body. He pressed his hand towards the deck, and a huge black hole immediately appeared on the sea surface far away, instantly swallowing several naval ships.
Hurry Run away!
The warship was sucked into the black hole, the deck gradually tilted, and the marines on the warship fell into the black hole one after another and were swallowed up. The remaining marines grabbed the mast and other objects in panic, fearing that they would fall into the bottomless black hole.
With just this one move, a big hole was immediately torn in the original encirclement of warships, and the ships of the Rocks Pirates quickly headed towards the island.
This scene also made Su Rui admire Rocks’ ability. After a year, Rocks used the Dark-Dark Fruit more and more freely.
“Lingling, let’s start moving too.”
Seeing this, Su Rui was not idle either. He immediately started to act as he had agreed with Lingling before.
Suddenly, two dragon wings grew out of Su Rui’s back, and his hands also turned into the shape of dragon claws. He grabbed Lingling’s shoulders and flew directly from the deck.
This change was of course due to the mythical beast devil fruit that Rocks gave Su Rui yesterday.
As the saying goes, “It’s always good to have many skills.” Su Rui had already eaten the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, which can devour everything. After receiving the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit from Rocks yesterday, he directly devoured it with his ability.
Su Rui was lucky, as this devil fruit was the Animal Type Bird-Bird Fruit Mythical Beast Pterosaur Form!
Su Rui was quite surprised to have obtained a fruit that could fly by accident.
Su Rui, in pterosaur form, flapped his wings and flew for a few seconds, then he took Lingling and flew directly over the encirclement of warships and arrived at the island.
“Lingling, it’s up to you! Do as we agreed yesterday!”
After the two landed, Su Rui immediately returned to his human form. Lingling nodded when she heard what he said.
“Don’t worry, brother! Lingling is the best at ruining things like this!”
After saying this, Lingling immediately started to attack the buildings nearby like crazy. The soldiers who wanted to surround them were directly submerged by the collapsed buildings before they could get close.
After destroying the surrounding buildings, the huge building debris at hand also became Lingling’s attack material. Lingling continuously threw huge stones at the warships on the coast. Big holes were instantly smashed in the warships, which also caused the marines to wail and scream.
“Lingling is really a monster!”
The golden lion Shiki also fell from the sky right after her, and couldn’t help but sigh at Lingling’s amazing destructive power.
And Shiqi was also not idle. Several warships flew into the air under the control of the Golden Lion Floating Fruit, and then fell to the ground in an instant, causing a huge explosion.
Su Rui watched the monsters of the Rocks Pirates showing off their magical powers, and couldn’t help but mourn for these marines for a second in his heart. However, compared to them, Su Rui’s actions were much more low-key.
Taking advantage of the chaos outside to attract the attention of the navy, Su Rui slipped into the auction hall unimpeded, but the atmosphere inside made him feel that something was a little off.
There’s such a commotion outside, why are the big shots in the auction house not reacting at all?
Do you really think that you can protect them with just those marines?
However, this was not the time to think about these questions. Su Rui was lying in ambush at the corner, using his Observation Haki to sense the movements of an auction guard. When the guard walked in front of Su Rui, he punched him cleanly and the guard fell to the ground.
Sorry buddy, your looks are mine!
Su Rui used the power of the Swallow Swallow Fruit to devour the body of the guard, and then instantly changed his appearance into that of the guard. Just as he had finished getting dressed, he was stopped by someone behind him.
“Are you hiding here and being lazy again?”
The guard’s tone was a bit stern, “Don’t you know what day it is today? So many Celestial Dragons are here, hurry up and go on patrol with me! If something goes wrong, can you afford the responsibility?!”
Seeing this, Su Rui hurriedly responded and followed. This was the first time he used the ability of the Swallow Swallow Fruit to change his appearance. Seeing that the person next to him didn’t notice anything unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, what are we going to auction at this auction today? Why are there so many big shots here? I saw a lot of warships outside, it’s scary.”
Su Rui began to ask questions tentatively, and the man next to him obviously did not have too many guards against him, and directly told him all the information he knew.
“You don’t even know this? The items we are auctioning today are all very valuable, but the most important ones among them are probably the three devil fruits.”
“It seems to be called the Soul Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit, and another one… there is also a mythical beast-type Yamata-no-Orochi Fruit. These devil fruits are all incredible species! That’s why these celestial dragons attach so much importance to them!”
Su Rui was a little surprised after learning this information. These three fruits are indeed very powerful.
However, Su Rui was not very interested in the Flame-Flame Fruit. After all, this natural fruit did not have any advantage in the face of domineering.
Moreover, the Flame-Flame Fruit is essentially a fire-attributed fruit ability. There are too many skills that can use fire, so the Flame-Flame Fruit is really useless.
However, as for the Soul Fruit and the Yamata-no-Orochi Fruit… Su Rui was very interested in accepting them.
“No wonder the navy sent so many people here.”
Su Rui agreed with the guard and wanted to continue to find out the location of the devil fruit.
“But where are these important devil fruits placed in our auction house? Will they be stolen?”
“Don’t worry about this.”
The guard pointed to a seastone display cabinet not far away. The cabinet was filled with all kinds of dazzling treasures and weapons, but there was no trace of the three devil fruits.
“Generally, auction items are placed in this devil fruit display case, but because of the special nature of those three devil fruits, they are not placed together with these things.”
“As for where it is exactly, even I don’t know. It should be kept by someone.”
So although he was unable to directly find out the storage location of the devil fruit, Su Rui was not in a hurry. After all, with so many Celestial Dragons attending the auction, it was naturally impossible to get the things easily.
But since they are planning to put this thing up for auction, we will know who has it sooner or later.
Chapter 16: Trapped in a Cage (Old Version)
At the same time, as time passed, the sound of destruction outside became louder and louder, and the noisy shouting gradually got closer. It seemed that the large force of the Rocks Pirates was about to attack.
But even so, Su Rui looked at the expressions of the guards around him and still did not see any panic on their faces.
“Are the pirates going to break in?”
Su Rui pretended to be nervous and asked the guard beside him, but the guard was full of confidence.
“Just be at peace! This is a place where the Celestial Dragons are! How could a mere pirate break in?”
After hearing this, Su Rui didn’t ask any more questions, but the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
The guards’ reactions were too abnormal. I’m afraid something is not right.
At this moment, a loud noise erupted at the door of the auction hall. The seemingly unbreakable door was smashed into a huge hole for some reason, and the members of the Rocks Pirates swarmed in.
The pirates led by Rocks, Whitebeard and Golden Lion slaughtered the guards in the auction house wantonly. Even though a large force arrived, Su Rui did not show up. Instead, he continued to follow the guards and pretended to defend while slowly retreating towards the auction hall.
Just when most of the Rocks Pirates invaded the auction hall, the lights in the entire auction hall suddenly went out, and a beam of light hit a person who looked like a host.
At the same time, the mechanisms around the hall were activated, and the cages made of seastone immediately locked up the members of the Rocks Pirates together. The entire auction hall suddenly turned into an arena with no exit!
Rocks’ expression suddenly froze when he saw this change. No wonder the defense was so weak today. It turned out that they were waiting for them here!
However, even when faced with this situation, the executives of the Rocks Pirates did not show any panic on their faces.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen! Welcome all the celestial dragons to our auction venue!”
The host held the microphone and began to introduce,
“As you can see, today’s auction was carefully prepared by the Celestial Dragons of the World Government!”
“In addition to the original treasures and three rare devil fruits, the members of the Rocks Pirates in the Seastone Prison today will also be auctioned as slaves!”
“The safety of this auction is the responsibility of the Knights of God and the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Please bid with peace of mind, Celestial Dragons~”
After the host’s introduction, the lights in the auditorium slowly lit up, and one by one, the Celestial Dragons wearing bubble hoods began to enter and take their seats. One of them held a stack of wanted posters in his hand, and compared it with the people in the cage, his eyes were full of excitement.
“Rocks, Golden Lion Shiki, Edward Newgate… so many damn pirates are here! I want to buy Rocks today and let him pull the carriage for me!”
Cheers continued to erupt from the audience, and Su Rui stood next to the audience as a guard. He glanced at the people in the cage, and when he saw that Lingling was not among them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Lingling listened to him. Su Rui had guessed that the situation would not be that simple, so he told Lingling not to enter the auction house, which really helped her escape a disaster.
Although Su Rui is now free to move and take rescue measures, he did not take direct action. After all, the purpose of his trip has not yet been achieved, so there is no need to rush.
What’s more, the members of the Rocks Pirates are not soft eggs that can be manipulated by anyone. He should just wait and see and wait for the right opportunity.
“Captain, these damned Celestial Dragons actually dared to play tricks on us!”
Shiki the Golden Lion said angrily, “Let’s work together to break this damn cage of theirs, shall we? Go out and kill these useless Celestial Dragons without leaving a single one alive!”
No hurry.
Rocks also looked calm and collected. “Have you seen Su Rui?”
“Su Rui?”
Whitebeard thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.
“He and Lingling should have been the first to arrive on the island, but we only saw Lingling outside and didn’t see Su Rui.”
“Neither Su Rui nor Ling Ling is in this broken cage.”
Rocks said calmly, “Then why are we in such a hurry?”
After hearing this, the originally agitated Golden Lion was able to calm down a little.
Although Su Rui has not participated in any group action for nearly a year, he is a far more terrifying existence than Lingling. With this pair of monster brothers and sisters as helpers, is he still afraid of not being able to escape?
“Dear ladies and gentlemen.”
The host’s voice sounded again, “Although the ones in the cage are all the most popular members of the Rocks Pirates, there are inevitably some scum among them.”
“In order to select elite slaves and also to increase the viewing value of this auction, we will send out the giants to fight against the Rocks Pirates and show you the power of the Dragon Dragon Fruit Ancient Species Brachiosaurus Form!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone could clearly feel the ground shaking slightly. As the shaking became stronger, a giant appeared on the scene.
Looking at this half-human, half-dragon form, Su Rui couldn’t help but sigh. This rare ancient type of ability user must be a powerful force outside, but here he is just a plaything of the Celestial Dragons?
It’s really sad.
The giant was holding a huge axe in his hand. After entering the cage, he raised the axe and smashed it hard into the cage without saying a word. With the blessing of the devil fruit, the movement that should have been extremely clumsy seemed exceptionally light. The huge axe smashed down one after another, which really made people’s scalp numb.
There were already quite a few pirates in the Rocks Pirates Group, and they were gathered in this cage and suddenly attacked. Many of them were unable to dodge and were killed by the giant axe. The flying sand and stones caused by the axe also caused the pirates to scream.
“Good! That’s great!”
“This is how we should kill these evil common pirates!”
“Keep killing! Keep killing! Kill all these lowly pirates!”
However, even such a bloody scene made the Tianlong people in the audience applaud and cheer, as if the dead and injured were not humans at all, but insignificant ants.
Su Rui looked at the ugly faces of these celestial dragons from a close distance, and his disgust increased even more. If the three devil fruits had not appeared yet, he really wanted to kill these idiots wearing bubble masks!
Chapter 17: Excited Celestial Dragons (Old Version)
However, the people in the Rocks Pirates were certainly not pushovers. Seeing the Celestial Dragons treating their lives as worthless, naturally some of them soon became restless.
“asshole!”
Golden Lion couldn’t stand it any longer as he watched his men constantly getting injured and dying from the attacks of the giants. He was about to fly into the air to deal with the giants, but he found that the giant swung his giant axe at Whitebearded Edward Newgate.
“Newgate!”
The Golden Lion Shiki shouted a warning, while Whitebeard looked up at the huge axe that was attacking him, lifted his coat, and immediately revealed his strong muscles.
“Bang!”
Whitebeard’s elbow hit the giant axe violently, and crack-like marks immediately appeared in the void, as if the entire space was shattered by his blow.
The giant’s attacking movement also froze, and the huge axe actually shattered under Whitebeard’s blow!
This is the power of the Parahuman Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
Su Rui was also amazed as he watched this scene in the audience. He didn’t have much contact with Whitebeard, and this was the first time he saw Whitebeard attack with full firepower!
Although it is still a little inferior to Whitebeard in his prime, he has such enormous destructive power nowadays, and his future development potential is evident!
The giant saw that his axe was shattered by the man in front of him, and he was immediately furious. He dropped the broken axe and punched Whitebeard directly. Whitebeard was not going to sit there and wait for death either.
Newgate grabbed the air with both hands, then pulled hard. The giant who was attacking him suddenly staggered, as if he was pushed down by some unknown force, and fell directly in front of Whitebeard.
Whitebeard would not miss this opportunity. He immediately formed a spherical cover with a faint white glow on his fist and punched it fiercely at the giant’s head.
The fist with the air shock effect caused the giant’s blood and teeth to gush out of his mouth. He was originally extremely arrogant, but now he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
After Whitebeard completed this series of attacks, he couldn’t help but breathe heavily. It turned out that he was still a little bit worse than his peak period!
Such a wonderful battle directly aroused the cheers of the Celestial Dragons in the audience. They did not feel sorry for the defeat of the Giants, but became more and more excited.
“Dad! This pirate is so powerful! I want to buy him as my slave! Then I can have the most powerful slave in Marijoa!”
“Okay, okay! Dad will definitely buy it for you!”
Whitebeard’s strength was like a dose of stimulant that made the Celestial Dragons excited, but listening to these noisy shouts, Rocks felt a little irritated.
“It’s so noisy.”
Rocks frowned, and at the same time, a powerful aura quickly spread around him, heading straight towards the celestial dragons in the audience.
This powerful aura came towards him, and Su Rui’s heart suddenly trembled.
This is the deterrent power of the domineering aura!
Although Su Rui is also a possessor of the Conqueror’s Haki, his current level is only at the elementary stage, and is naturally incomparable to the current Rocks.
With this tyrannical pressure, a large number of the Celestial Dragons and the guards on the side in the audience fainted directly from the pressure. The remaining few survivors also realized that this was the legendary Domineering Haki!
“It’s rare to find a high-quality slave with the domineering aura of a king!”
The host took advantage of the situation to liven up the atmosphere of the auction.
“The giants just now were just the appetizer. Next, we will send two users with awakened animal-type devil fruits to screen the remaining slaves again!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the two iron doors next to the auction hall opened, and two half-human, half-beast Devil Fruit users walked out.
Su Rui took a closer look and couldn’t help but feel that he looked familiar. The appearance was a bit like the jailer in the city.
However, even with the addition of new members, Su Rui still had no intention of taking action. These Celestial Dragons still underestimated the Rocks Pirates. These two people with special abilities alone were not enough for the cadres to share.
“Leave these two guys to me!”
Whitebeard had just made a big splash, and Shiki the Golden Lion didn’t want to be outdone, so he immediately pressed his hands hard on the ground.
“Lion’s Might – Earth Scroll!”
The entire ground was lifted up, and the rocks and the ground condensed into a lion-head-shaped block of earth, which then quickly attacked the two people with special abilities. Before the two of them could react, they were entangled together by the blocks of earth that came from all directions, and were solidified in the blocks of earth.
Seeing how Shiki the Golden Lion easily took care of the two ability users, the pirates of the Rocks Pirates couldn’t help but start to provoke the Celestial Dragons in the audience.
“Useless Celestial Dragons! Is this the only kind of trash you can find to fight us? Our Captain Rocks hasn’t even made a move yet!”
“Trash Dragons! Trash Dragons!”
Listening to the humiliation of the lower-class pirates, the Celestial Dragons more or less felt that their dignity was challenged. The leader of the Celestial Dragons immediately stopped the host,
“You! Go and take out the three devil fruits that are going to be auctioned today! Find someone to eat them and kill these untouchables!”
“ah?”
The host did not expect the Celestial Dragons to make such a request.
“Sir, these devil fruits are to be auctioned…”
“How dare you! Do you think I can’t afford your devil fruit?! I command you to do it immediately!”
The Tianlong people gave the order in a rage. Although the current situation was somewhat beyond the host’s control, he certainly had no right to refuse the Tianlong people’s request.
Su Rui stood aside and his expression changed. His chance had come.
Soon, the host brought the three devil fruits and came in front of the Celestial Dragons. Just when the Celestial Dragons were about to order people to eat the devil fruits to deal with the Rocks Pirates, Su Rui took action.
“There’s an attack! Be careful, sir!”
The members of the Knights of God who were guarding the Celestial Dragons noticed Su Rui’s actions at the first moment and immediately stood in front of the Celestial Dragons to protect them. Unfortunately, Su Rui’s target was never the Celestial Dragons, but the three devil fruits.
“The devil fruit was taken away!”
The host exclaimed, and Su Rui grabbed the three devil fruits in a lightning speed. Then, in full view of everyone, he took a bite of the three devil fruits one by one.
Chapter 18 Yamata no Orochi (Old Version)
Are you crazy?!
The host was also shocked when he saw Su Rui eating three devil fruits in a row.
“If you eat more than two devil fruits, your body will explode and you will die! Are you crazy!?”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Do I look like I’m in trouble?”
Even the Celestial Dragons and the Knights of God were dumbfounded as it was the first time they saw someone eat three Devil Fruits in one breath. The members of the Rocks Pirates who were in the cage began to cheer when they saw Su Rui finally show up.
“This kid Su Rui.”
Rocks’ eyes were gloomy and unclear, “He took all the benefits.”
However, Rocks would not blame this behavior. After all, the main theme of their Rocks Pirates is freedom and casualness.
Seeing the pirates in the cage getting excited and showing signs of forcing a breakout, the Celestial Dragons and many other bigwigs in the audience were also feeling a little uneasy. The admiral of the navy immediately stepped forward to maintain the situation.
“Don’t worry, everyone! This cage is made of seastone. These pirates won’t be able to break out with their own strength!”
“Yeah?”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows, “Then I’ll try to see if my new ability can do it.”
After saying this, Su Rui’s body began to change immediately. As his size grew rapidly, he turned into the eight-headed Yamata no Orochi in the blink of an eye.
Feeling the changes in his body, Su Rui couldn’t help but feel surprised, but now he had to liberate his companions first!
The seven heads of the Yamata no Orochi spit out huge flames from different angles, directly engulfing the entire auction venue. The scorching flames caused panic among the Celestial Dragons, who quickly began to flee in all directions, while ordering the Knights of God and the Navy to protect themselves.
“You bunch of idiots! How dare you let this lowly commoner take the devil fruit! Hurry up and protect me! Otherwise, you will all die!”
In the chaos, the navy and the Knights of God had no time to attack Su Rui who was breathing fire. They were all busy protecting the Celestial Dragons and evacuating them. After all, they were of noble status, and no matter who was injured here, they would not be able to explain when they returned.
Su Rui continued to spray flames. Of course, the flames created by the Yamata no Orochi could not melt the solid seastone cage. His goal was never to destroy the cage directly, but the entire auction house.
As the temperature continued to rise, the auction hall showed signs of collapse, and the mechanism controlling the seastone cage was gradually destroyed by the high temperature. Not long after, the originally sturdy seastone cage lost control and collapsed.
“Well done, Su Rui!”
Shiki the Golden Lion was the first to cheer. The pirates who were released suddenly became extremely crazy. Thinking back to the humiliation they had just suffered, Rocks immediately gave the order.
“Young men! Kill the Celestial Dragons!”
This order was immediately responded to by the pirates. They rushed forward and aimed at killing the Celestial Dragons wearing bubble hoods. Despite the power of the Knights of God and the Navy Headquarters, they were still unable to protect all the Celestial Dragons in the face of the crazy and vengeful pirates.
Seeing many of the Celestial Dragons who had just been so high and mighty now begging humbly to survive, Su Rui couldn’t help but sigh. After achieving his goal of releasing his companions, Su Rui changed back from the form of the Yamata no Orochi to a human, and began searching for targets among the crowd.
He has already obtained all the devil fruits he wanted, and his next goal is of course to develop new family members.
Su Rui has been silent for a whole year. His family members are only Lingling, Huoyanhua and his newborn daughter Su Wan. The system he has is originally a family system. He needs to recruit more people to sign family contracts with him to become stronger!
Soon, Su Rui noticed a woman among the Knights of God. She was quite good-looking, and as a member of the Knights of God who protected the Celestial Dragons, her strength was of course beyond words.
Okay, choose her!
After making the decision, Su Rui immediately threw a fire fist. Several marines guarding the Celestial Dragons immediately fell down with screams. The next second, the sword in Su Rui’s hand was unsheathed and placed on the neck of one of the Celestial Dragons.
“If you want him to live, do as I say.”
Su Rui spoke, and the Tianlong man who was kidnapped by Su Rui was now as pale as paper, without any arrogance from before. He didn’t even dare to breathe, for fear that Su Rui would kill him if he was unhappy.
“Damn pirates!”
The members of the Knights of God shouted to Su Rui,
“Let go of Lord Celestial Dragon!”
If they were ordinary pirates, they would have taken action long ago, but the pirate who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons was Su Rui, who had just eaten three devil fruits in a row and was still alive. The opponent’s strength was unfathomable, so they certainly did not dare to act rashly.
“My request is simple.”
Su Rui’s gaze rested on the woman he had chosen just now.
“Exchange her with me.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on the woman. The woman herself was also stunned, wondering why Su Rui, whom she had never met before, would directly choose her.
“Will you go to sea with me and join my family?”
Su Rui asked, “If you are willing to join, I will not kill this Tianlong man, and if you refuse, I will kill him immediately.”
Before the woman could answer, the Tianlong man who was held hostage by Su Rui immediately started to scream.
“I command you to accept his request immediately! Otherwise I will kill you immediately!”
The woman had no choice at this moment. Although she didn’t know Su Rui’s intention, she immediately agreed to his request.
“Okay! I promise to go to sea with you and join your family!”
As soon as the second woman finished speaking, the system’s voice sounded in Birthday’s mind.
“Congratulations to the host and [Lydia] for establishing a family contract and obtaining the system reward: [Weapon: Flowing Blade Jakka] [Gene: Natural Swordsman]”
Su Rui couldn’t help but be a little surprised to hear that the reward this time was so generous. It seems that he still needs to develop more family members in the future!
“Stand over here, put down your weapons and come with me.”
Su Rui was very satisfied with the system’s reward, and immediately ordered Lydia to follow him, and Lydia did so immediately. However, Su Rui did not release the Tianlong people he had kidnapped immediately as agreed.
“Untouchable! Didn’t you say you would let me go?”
The Celestial Dragon gnashed his teeth and threatened, “This woman is already yours, let me go immediately!”
Chapter 19: New Family Member (Old Version)
“If you keep talking nonsense, you’ll never be able to speak again. This is my last warning to you.”
Su Rui threatened lightly. Although the Tianlong people were extremely angry, they also knew that the man who kidnapped them was probably a complete lunatic. They could only swallow their anger and cooperate with his actions.
“Everyone evacuate!”
Su Rui held the Tianlong people hostage and began to give orders.
“Also, hand over all the items from this auction to us! If you don’t, you’ll have to take his life!”
The Marines could no longer bear this and immediately started to question,
“Didn’t you just say that you would release Lord Celestial Dragon if I handed that woman over to you? You actually broke your promise!”
Su Rui sneered disdainfully.
“I say, are all of you marines very stupid? You actually want to be honest with pirates? If I were honest, why would I be a pirate? Do as I say!”
As he said this, Su Rui tightened the sword in his hand a little more. A faint blood mark was left on the neck of the Celestial Dragon. Seeing this scene, the people from the Navy and the Knights of God didn’t care about anything else.
No matter how precious these auction items are, they are not as valuable as the lives of the Celestial Dragons!
“Hurry up and send all the things to the shore!”
Su Rui issued the final ultimatum, and the Marines had no choice but to do as he said and immediately moved all the rare collections to be auctioned outside.
And this was the plan that Su Rui and Lingling had made yesterday. He was responsible for developing new family members, while Linglingze was responsible for snatching the spoils!
With the hostages in hand, the navy had completely lost the will to resist, and the members of the Rocks Pirates also rushed to grab everything. This huge auction hall was almost emptied by them.
Rocks praised, “Your hostage strategy is really great!”
“Captain, you are too kind. This is all as we should do.”
Su Rui smiled, and seeing that most of the things had been moved, Rocks prepared to retreat.
After all, they suffered such a great loss this time, and naval reinforcements will surely arrive soon. By that time, it will not be so easy to escape.
“It’s almost time, let’s prepare to withdraw.”
Rocks gave the order, Su Rui nodded, and took the hostage Tianlong man back all the way to the door of the auction house. Then, when the opportunity arose, he threw the Tianlong man aside, and pulled the newly developed family member Lydia to evacuate.
As soon as she went out, Lingling greeted Su Rui excitedly. Next to her was a large bag of packed spoils. Seeing such a rich harvest this time, Su Rui couldn’t help but be happy.
“Well done Lingling!”
Su Rui started to praise, “It’s time for us to go!”
After saying this, Su Rui transformed into a pterosaur form again, grabbing Lingling with one claw and reaching out to Lydia with the other claw.
“Hold on to me and follow me!”
Lydia was a little dumbfounded watching the scene in front of her. As a member of the Knights of God, she certainly knew what the three devil fruits Su Rui had eaten today were, but that did not include the pterosaur form that Su Rui was showing now?
Which means… he ate another devil fruit?!
Lydia’s heart was filled with shock. She had no time to think, so she could only subconsciously grab Su Rui’s dragon claw and fly towards the ship of the Rocks Pirates together.
After Rocks lost the Celestial Dragon hostages, he provoked crazy revenge from the navy. The marines lurking on the island came out in full force and began to chase the evacuating Rocks Pirates. Although many people died in the pursuit of the navy, most of the members still escaped safely.
Even though there are some losses, they are nothing compared to today’s gains.
“Boys! Go back to Beehive Island!”
At Rocks’s command, the ship headed towards the Beehive Island. In order to celebrate today’s victory, a celebratory banquet was held again on the Beehive Island. After the banquet, Su Rui took Lydia and Lingling back to their territory.
“Brother, the loot we got this time is more than all the spoils we got before combined!”
On the boat returning to the territory, Lingling’s eyes were filled with treasures. Su Rui felt helpless seeing her like this, but now he wanted to get to know his new family member, Lydia.
Su Rui was busy having fun at the banquet and had no time to check her detailed information. Now he opened the system panel and clicked on Lydia’s detailed data in the [Family Members] column.
[Name: Lydia][Identity: Former member of the Knights of God, current member of the Rocks Pirates][Ability: Navy branch vice admiral level]Looking at the system’s assessment of Lydia’s abilities, Su Rui was quite satisfied. After all, she came from the Knights of God, and now she had a branch lieutenant general level which was pretty good. She could improve slowly by following him.
Lydia.
This was the first time that Su Rui had formally communicated with his new member. When Lydia heard Su Rui calling out her name directly, she was stunned for a moment.
“How do you know my name?”
Su Rui paused after hearing this and realized that he had never asked the other party’s name and all the information was obtained from the system.
But never mind, these are just small matters.
“Don’t worry about that.”
Su Rui changed the subject directly, “I just want to tell you that from today on you are a member of the Charlotte family. My name is Su Rui, and the one next to me is my sister Lingling.”
“We are a family from now on. Although you worked for the Celestial Dragons in the past, I don’t want to ask about the past. As long as you promise to be loyal to our Charlotte Family and never betray, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.”
Lydia also nodded solemnly. Although she had not yet figured out the specific situation of the Charlotte family, Lydia had already witnessed the abilities of Su Rui and Lingling.
It would definitely not be wrong for a strong man who possesses more than four devil fruit abilities, and a monster who is only six years old but has such combat power to become their companions.
“Yes, sir.”
Seeing Lydia so reserved, Lingling smiled and said,
Sister Lydia, don t be nervous! We also have my sister-in-law and my little niece in our family. It will be fun if you join in!
sister in law?
Lidya was a little surprised. Su Rui was so young, but he already had a wife? Even a child?
For some reason, a trace of loss flashed through Lydia’s heart, but she soon smiled. At least this environment was much better than the life in fear under the hands of the Celestial Dragons.
Chapter 20: The Angry Five Elders (Old Version)
“What on earth is your Navy Headquarters doing?!”
Topman, one of the Five Elders, questioned Admiral Kong angrily.
“The auction was originally intended to entertain the Celestial Dragons, but it was ruined like this by the Rocks Pirates?! Many Celestial Dragons were killed or injured, and Marijoa is now in chaos! How are you going to let the World Government explain this to the Celestial Dragons!?”
As the supreme leaders of the World Government, the Five Elders rarely have such strong emotional fluctuations. After all, this incident caused a large number of Celestial Dragons to be injured and killed, and there were even cases of Celestial Dragons being kidnapped. It was really too serious.
This time, Admiral Kong could only silently take the blame, because it was indeed their negligence that allowed the Rocks Pirates to ruin the operation, and there was really nothing they could refute.
After venting their anger on Marshal Kong, the Five Elders gradually calmed down and began to think about their next strategy.
“Now that things have come to this, the Rocks Pirates are becoming more rampant. It’s time for your Navy Headquarters to pay more attention to them. You must not continue to treat them as ordinary pirates.”
Izambaron, one of the Five Elders, spoke slowly.
“Especially Su Rui from the Rocks Pirates. He disappeared for the entire last year, and only his sister Charlotte Linlin was active on the sea. But I didn’t expect that his comeback after a year would cause such a big stir.”
“According to the report from the Knights of God, Su Rui ate three devil fruits at once and did not suffer any backlash. Finding out what happened is what your navy needs to do immediately.”
Marshal Kong saw the Five Elders talking about Su Rui and immediately responded.
“Yes, according to our investigation, last year Su Rui killed members of CP5 and CP0, as well as the nuns who had been providing slaves to the Celestial Dragons. He also hijacked a warship, and later joined the Rocks Pirates and participated in a collective action of the Rocks Pirates.”
“In that operation, we lost the Tenshokin of two warships, as well as a superhuman devil fruit, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. A marine who witnessed the incident said that he saw Su Rui eat the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. Perhaps his ability is related to this devil fruit.”
When Jay Golucia heard this, he stroked his beard.
“Our government will also send people to investigate this matter. In addition, based on this incident, your current naval force is not enough to maintain the stability of the ocean. The Navy Headquarters should start preparing for conscription. We need more forces to deal with these new monsters.”
“Yes! The Navy Headquarters will arrange for the recruitment of soldiers in a moment to strengthen the Navy’s garrison force!”
Marshal Kong immediately said that the Five Elders had scolded him enough today, so he didn’t say anything more and stood up to end the meeting. Marcus, one of the Five Elders, added,
“Also, it’s time to re-customize the bounties on those dangerous individuals in the Rocks Pirates. The specific amount, Sora, is up to you to decide.”
Marshal Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending away the five giant Buddhas with great difficulty. However, he felt even more headache when reading the reports on this incident in the newspapers.
“I thought Su Rui was just a flash in the pan, but I didn’t expect it to cause such a big scene!”
Marshal Kong looked at a photo of Su Rui that he had taken last year. At this moment, he wished he could put sea-rock handcuffs on him and send him to the underwater prison.
“Let’s re-determine the bounty for the Rocks Pirates’ leaders!”
Marshal Kong called his secretary, and after some consideration, he readjusted the bounties for the members of the Rocks Pirates.
“Captain! The bounties on the officers have all gone up!”
On the Beehive Island, a pirate excitedly held up a newspaper he had just received from the newspaper delivery seagull and shouted excitedly, and as soon as he said this, everyone was immediately attracted.
“Show it to me.”
Rocks reached out to take the newspaper and pulled out a stack of wanted warrants sandwiched between them, and the first to be wanted was Rocks himself.
“Rocks D. Gibek! Bounty of 2 billion berries!”
A sharp-eyed person nearby was the first to shout out the bounty amount for Rocks, which immediately caused a round of cheers.
“Our captain is too strong!”
“The captain’s bounty has actually risen to 2 billion berries! It seems that the navy is really afraid of our Rocks Pirates!”
Rocks was not surprised by the amount of 2 billion Baileys. It would be better to say that he did not care about the so-called bounty at all.
Then Rocks opened the bounty posters at the back, and the next ones to appear were Golden Lion Shiki and Whitebeard Newgate.
“800 million Baileys for Ski and 800 million Baileys for Newgate as well.”
The Golden Lion standing by couldn’t help curling his lips when he saw that his bounty was the same as Whitebeard’s. He was obviously a little dissatisfied.
“Newgate has the same bounty as me! Why?!”
Compared to Shiki the Golden Lion, Whitebeard’s reaction was much calmer. He just laughed and didn’t show any big reaction.
“If you want to surpass Newgate’s bounty, why don’t you just kill a few more Celestial Dragons next time?”
Rocks spoke, and then directly flipped through the bounty at the back. After the last battle at the auction, Su Rui could be said to have shined. What he wanted to know most now was how much the bounty the Navy Headquarters had set for Su Rui was.
“Charlotte Lingling, 600 million Baileys, Charlotte Su Rui… 500 million Baileys?!”
Although Lingling is only six years old, she is indeed active enough, so the bounty of 600 million Baileys on her is reasonable. However, when everyone saw the bounty amount of Su Rui, even Rocks’ face was a little surprised.
Although Su Rui’s bounty is the lowest among their cadres, you have to know that their bounties have gradually increased due to their frequent activities in the past year!
And Su Rui didn’t take any action during the Chinese New Year, but just based on the last battle, the bounty was directly increased from 20 million Baileys to 500 million Baileys? !
Such a huge span is unheard of, even Rocks himself has never had such an experience.
“It seems that the Navy Headquarters has really begun to pay attention to this kid Su Rui!”
There was a hint of excitement on Rocks’ face. It turned out that his decision to bring Su Rui and Lingling under his command was absolutely correct. Next, let’s see what kind of surprises Su Rui can bring him!
At this moment, Su Rui on the neighboring island sneezed without warning.
Chapter 21 Newcomers (Old Version)
This time, the Rocks Pirates caused such a big commotion that it naturally fell into the ears of various forces.
Sengoku on the warship held the newspaper in his hand and couldn’t help but frown. Although they had been chasing the Rocks Pirates under the orders of the Navy Headquarters over the years, they had never gained much. And Su Rui, who had disappeared for a year, had actually made the Celestial Dragons into this state.
“Karp!”
Sengoku looked at Garp who was very leisurely and felt a little headache.
“That kid Su Rui shows up again! He killed a lot of Tianlong people at the auction!”
“A celestial dragon?”
Garp laughed when he heard this. “The Celestial Dragons are dead, so they are dead. Su Rui is actually doing us a good thing!”
Looking at Garp’s nonchalant attitude, Sengoku couldn’t do anything about him. After all, Garp has always been like this since they met.
Zephyr, who had just been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and was working with Garp and Sengoku, was reading the report in the newspaper thoughtfully.
“The development of the Rocks Pirates… is really too fast, especially this monster Su Rui…”
Although the newspapers did not report that Su Rui was able to eat three devil fruits at once and remain safe and sound, the navy’s internal intelligence had already informed them.
“Sengoku, Garp, I think we really need to nip the Rocks Pirates in the bud as soon as possible, otherwise they will become a scourge to the entire ocean in the future.”
Sengoku also agreed with Zefa’s point of view, but now that the Rocks Pirates are at their peak of power, it is not as easy to deal with them as imagined.
At the same time, in a certain sea area, a young man wearing a straw hat was excitedly reading the contents of the newspaper.
“Hey! Rayleigh!”
The man wearing a straw hat was Gol D. Roger. He had just set out to sea and had only recruited Rayleigh as his partner.
“Have you read today’s newspaper? The Rocks Pirates are too powerful! They turned the Celestial Dragons into this state!”
Rayleigh’s reaction was relatively calm. He glanced at Roger and
“So you plan to fight against a force like the Rocks Pirates with just the two of us?”
Roger just laughed, showing no fear at all.
“It’s just that the opponent has to be stronger, so that it feels challenging!”
While the whole world was shocked by this explosive news, there was peace on the small island in the Suride territory.
Su Rui was more or less nervous about the fact that the family had recruited new members. Although the newcomer Lydia was not as beautiful as the Empress Flame Flower, she could still be considered gorgeous. Su Rui was more or less worried that Flame Flower would be dissatisfied with having such a woman living with them.
But it was obvious that he was worrying too much.
“Who is this?”
Seeing Su Rui and Lingling return safely, Huoyanhua immediately went forward to greet them with her daughter in her arms. When she saw that there was another woman beside Su Rui, she couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
“Oh, let me introduce you to it.”
Su Rui said, “This is the new family member I recruited during this operation. She will live here with us from now on.”
“I’m Lydia.”
Seeing this, Lydia stepped forward and greeted her. The puzzled expression on Flame Flower’s face immediately turned into a friendly smile.
“Great! I was thinking about our island. There were only a few people there and it seemed a bit lonely! Now that there is a new member in the family, there will be one more person to play with our Wan’er!”
Flame Flower spoke with a smile, without any dissatisfaction or jealousy on her face, which made Su Rui secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
If Flame Flower had a jealous personality, it would be difficult for him to develop his family.
Wan’er, who was in Flame Flower’s arms, was extremely excited when she saw Lingling, and wanted to jump into her arms. Lingling immediately stepped forward, hugged her little niece, and took her aside to play.
Su Rui felt helpless when watching this scene. It turned out that his daughter was the closest to Lingling!
“You’ve been out fighting all day, you should go and have a good rest!”
Flame Flower was extremely considerate, “I’ll take Lydia to arrange accommodation here, you don’t have to worry.”
Su Rui nodded with satisfaction. Lydia was a little restrained at first, but after arriving on the island and finding that Su Rui’s family members were so easy to get along with, she gradually relaxed. At the same time, she also began to feel fortunate that she was chosen by Su Rui to come here.
After all, when she was in the Celestial Dragons’ Knights of God, she was terrified every day, because the Celestial Dragons were notoriously difficult to serve. Once they were displeased in any way, they could end their lives with just a few words. Lydia was really tired of that tense life.
Su Rui also returned to the room and lay down to rest, but he did not plan to sleep directly. Instead, he began to think about the future of their family.
Although in this era, the role of domineering becomes particularly important in the later stages of life, not everyone can cultivate domineering to the extreme, so the help of the devil fruit is still indispensable.
Although Su Rui’s family members are capable enough now, what he wants to do in the future is to form a devil fruit army of his own.
However, to achieve this goal, a large number of devil fruits are needed, and the number of devil fruits cannot be achieved simply by plundering.
Even like today, every time the Rocks Pirates take collective action, he always takes the devil fruit for himself. Although Rocks, as the captain, will not say much about it, other cadres will inevitably be dissatisfied with this over time, so they still have to find another way out.
Thinking of this, Su Rui tossed and turned in bed for a long time, thinking about how to solve this problem, and finally a person emerged in his mind.
That is Vegapunk, the future’s top scientist!
You have to know that Vegapunk is not only an expert in studying devil fruits, but also not only that. The human gigantic experiment bloodline factor and the artificial devil fruit are all from his hand. If you can let him join your family, it will definitely be of infinite help!
Su Rui couldn’t help but get excited. After thinking for a while, he realized that Vegapunk and Lingling should be about the same age now. If he could recruit them to train at this time, wouldn’t that be perfect? ??!
Chapter 22 Vegapunk (Old Version)
After having this idea, Su Rui immediately worked to realize it. After telling Flame Flower that he was going out to do something important, Su Rui went to Honeycomb Island to find Rocks.
After all, Vegapunk’s location is on the Mechanical Island of the Grand Line, which is the future kingdom of Balkimoia. Of course, he has to tell the captain if he is going to be away for such a while.
“You’re going to the Grand Line?”
Rocks was a little surprised by what Su Rui brought up, but he didn’t say much. After all, the purpose of his pirate group was not to interfere too much in the private affairs of the crew members.
“Okay, I get it. Go ahead.”
Rocks agreed very readily. “But Su Rui, our Rocks Pirates just got into such a big trouble. You must be careful when you go to the Grand Line alone. It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, but come back as soon as possible. Don’t delay too long. I don’t want my pirate group to lose a great general like you.”
Su Rui smiled and said, “Okay.”
After informing Rocks, Su Rui quickly rushed to the Mechanical Island. Although his photo had been known to people all over the world through newspapers, Su Rui tried his best to keep a low profile and was not discovered by anyone.
After all, no one could have imagined that the famous Su Rui would go to a small place like the Future Kingdom alone.
After some effort, Su Rui finally arrived at the Mechanical Island. After asking around, he quickly found Vegapunk.
At this moment, Vegapunk still looked like a little devil, but as soon as Su Rui approached, Vegapunk immediately showed a vigilant look.
“Are you Su Rui from the Rocks Pirates?!”
Su Rui couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he heard this. So many people along the way didn’t recognize him, but this little kid Vegapunk recognized him all of a sudden?
He is worthy of being called the smartest person in the world by Tyrant Bear!
“Yes, I am Su Rui from the Rocks Pirates.”
Su Rui did not intend to hide anything. There was no need for smart people to beat around the bush when talking to each other. Su Rui directly told him the purpose of his visit today.
“I know you like to do research and invention, but your conditions are limited now. You don’t have the venue, equipment, or enough funds to support your hobbies.”
“And I can meet all your research needs, unlimited funds, sufficient space, and all the materials you need. I will do everything I can to help you find them to ensure your research goes smoothly.”
“And if you want me to do this for you, there is only one request, and that is to join my family and serve me while you conduct your research.”
Vegapunk was a little confused when he heard these words at first, but after a brief thought, he realized that the person in front of him was not just saying it casually, he really had the ability to do everything he just said.
Vegapunk, who dreams of becoming an inventor, pursues his own research throughout his life, so he doesn’t care whether the people he follows are from the navy, pirates, or other organizations.
After making a quick decision, Vegapunk gave the answer very decisively.
“Okay, I’ll join your family.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this. As expected, smart people have quick minds. At the same time, the system prompt sounded.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for recruiting a new member [Vegapunk] for the family. System reward: [Future Technology Blueprint] has been put into the backpack.”
Su Rui was delighted when he heard the voice, but now was not the time to check this thing. The most important thing was to bring Vegapunk back first!
A few days later, Su Rui brought Vegapunk back to his territory.
It was night time now, and Flame Flower and the others had already gone to bed. Su Rui had no intention of waking them up, but instead took Vegapunk directly to a cave on the back of the island, which contained only some simple basic living facilities.
“This is my territory.”
Su Rui gave a brief introduction, “However, because your existence is very special, I cannot let the outside world know about your existence, so I have to let you hide here and do research.”
“You can give me a list of what you need, and I will prepare it all for you. I also want you to focus your research on the bloodline factor first.”
After all, in the original world line, Caesar’s research on artificial devil fruits and the Germa 66 family’s research on cyborgs and clones were all based on the research of bloodline factors, so it is particularly important to understand this thing.
“Bloodline factor?”
Hearing this new term, Vegapunk became interested.
“What bloodline factor?”
“This is the content of your research. I am not good at science. I can only tell you that the bloodline factor can be called the blueprint of life and exists in all living things.”
Su Rui searched his mind for his knowledge about this thing, “If this research is applied to humans, we can create cyborgs, or use it to make artificial devil fruits.”
When Vegapunk heard this, his eyes lit up. He didn’t expect that Su Rui would give him such an amazing research direction.
“Okay, I roughly understand what you mean, but I still need some time to research this thing.”
Then Vegapunk immediately turned around and made a long list on the table beside him, and then handed it directly to Su Rui.
“These are all things I need for my research. They should cost quite a bit. You should be able to afford it, right?”
Su Rui took a glance and didn’t understand most of the terms listed above. However, if he relied on the savings that Lingling had plundered over the past year, it would be quite easy to get these things.
“You don’t have to worry about funding at all.”
Su Rui smiled, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and handed it to Vegapunk.
“Don’t go out casually. If you have any problem, contact me through Den Den Mushi.”
After arranging Vegapunk, Su Rui left the cave and went straight to knock on Lydia’s door to wake her up.
“Brother Su Rui?”
After Lydia opened the door, she was a little surprised to see Su Rui at the door. “When did you come back?”
“This is not important. There is something I need you to do for me right now.”
Su Rui directly handed the list to Lydia.
“Purchase the items on this list, but don’t let others discover your identity, especially other members of the Rocks Pirates.”
Su Rui took out the [Future Technology Blueprint] that he had obtained from the system reward and handed it to Lydia.
“After purchasing, send all these things to the cave in the back mountain. Don’t ask why.”
Although Lydia was a little confused, she nodded and agreed.
Looking at Lydia’s back as she hurried out to sea, Su Rui opened the system panel and checked his family members.
“Lingling, Huoyanhua, Wan’er, Lydia, Vegapunk… I didn’t realize that my family has so many people!”
Chapter 23: Demon Slayer Order (Old Version)
One day two years later.
A large number of warships were rapidly heading towards the Rocks Pirates’ base, Honeycomb Island.
“The Rocks Pirates are doomed this time!”
The marines on the warship were extremely excited. For the past two years, the Rocks Pirates had been constantly causing trouble on the sea, and the Navy and the World Government had become fed up with them, hence today’s eradication operation.
“This time, Admiral Sora, Vice Admirals Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr, and even one of the Five Elder Stars, Satan, have joined the operation. The Rocks Pirates are doomed to die!”
The Marines were discussing excitedly, but the expressions on the faces of the people in the conference room were not so relaxed.
“Everyone!”
Sora cleared his throat and began his pre-battle speech.
“In recent years, the Rocks Pirates have been rampant on the sea. We can’t let them continue to do this. This time we have received a demon-killing order from the World Government. The goal is to destroy the Beehive Island where the Rocks Pirates are located!”
Hearing the term “Demon Slayer Order”, everyone had different expressions. Garp was still nonchalant.
“In order to deal with a pirate group, the navy actually dispatched so many warships. If we can’t take them down this time, I’m afraid we will lose face!”
Zefa on the side immediately responded,
“Garp! If you have so little confidence in yourself, then just stay on the warship and rest. I will take care of the Rocks Pirates!”
Compared to these two people, Lieutenant Generals Sengoku and Tsuru had worried looks on their faces.
“The Rocks Pirates are much stronger than we thought. Can we really destroy them with our limited strength?”
When Kong heard what Lieutenant General Sengoku said,
“You don’t have to worry about that. The power of the World Government’s Demon Slayer Order is not something a small pirate group can withstand. It is a force that can destroy a country!”
What Kong said was indeed true, the purpose of the Demon Slaying Order was to carry out indiscriminate destructive attacks on the target area. Generally speaking, it was used to clear an area that posed a threat to colleagues in the World Government. There had long been precedents of the Demon Slaying Order destroying a country, so it seemed more than enough to use it against a pirate group.
Despite Kong’s explanation, Zhan Guo’s worries did not dissipate. Kong saw that the morale was a little low, and in order to stabilize the army’s morale, he immediately pointed to Satan Saint beside him.
“Everyone! We are joined in this operation by one of the Five Elder Stars, Saint Satan, the God of Scientific Defense! With this lord in charge, there will be no suspense in this operation! Please rest assured, as long as we try our best, we will definitely be able to defeat the Rocks Pirates this time!”
Saint Satan, who was called out, sat aside with his eyes closed and never opened his eyes from beginning to end.
Saint Satan was extremely dissatisfied that he, as a world noble Celestial Dragon, was assigned to personally deal with these pirate scums, and he only wanted to end the battle quickly.
At the same time, on the Beehive Island surrounded by warships, there was no sign of panic on the pirates’ faces.
“Report to the Captain!”
The pirate who went to gather intelligence came back and said,
“It is said that this time the World Government has issued a demon-killing order to our Beehive Island!? And in addition to several vice admirals, there is also Admiral Kong in this operation! And one of the Five Elders, Saint Satan!”
“oh?”
Su Rui couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned to look at the white-bearded Newgate beside him.
“Newgate, do you know the Five Elders?”
“I have a rough idea.”
Newgate stretched himself, not caring about the upcoming battle.
“Isn’t he just the useless leader among the Celestial Dragons?”
Su Rui did not comment on this, but the Five Elders were indeed one of the most powerful fighting forces in the World Government. This time they actually sent Saint Satan directly to destroy the Rocks Pirates. It seemed that they really could no longer tolerate it.
“Su Rui! Are you afraid of the Five Elders?”
Golden Lion Shiki and Captain John were sitting not far away. Su Rui had been growing continuously in the past two years and had stolen a lot of their limelight. Therefore, they were more or less dissatisfied with Su Rui and would mock him openly or secretly whenever they got the chance.
“Afraid?”
Su Rui didn’t care about their provocation at all, “I’m sorry, I never knew how to write the word ‘fear’ since I was a child.”
Captain John was particularly unhappy with Su Rui’s attitude. After all, ever since Su Rui joined the Rocks Pirates, he had been constantly stealing his limelight. Originally, his status was second only to Whitebeard Newgate, but now he is even inferior to Su Rui!
This was really unbearable for Captain John.
“Su Rui!”
Captain John stood up and said, “Let’s compete today to see who can capture the Five Elders in this battle! If I capture the Five Elders, you will quit the Rocks Pirates, and if you do, then I will quit!”
I have to say, Su Rui almost laughed out loud at what he said.
After all, even Su Rui himself couldn’t make the bold promise to capture the Five Elder Stars alive, but he didn’t expect Captain John to be so shameless as to make such a bet?
Rocks, the leader, couldn’t help but glance sideways when he heard this, but he didn’t care about these little fights among his subordinates. He thought that this kind of competition could motivate them to show themselves.
“OK.”
Su Rui readily agreed to the bet proposed by John.
“But even if I catch the Five Elders, you don’t have to quit, because I don’t think I have the chance to do it. As long as you catch the Five Elders, I will definitely quit directly without saying a word.”
As soon as Su Rui said this, everyone couldn’t help laughing. After all, anyone could see that Su Rui’s ability was obviously stronger than Captain John’s. The bet proposed by Captain John more or less seemed a bit overestimated.
Captain John became even more annoyed when he heard everyone’s laughter, but in this situation, he couldn’t lose his temper. He could only sit down and suppress his anger. At the same time, he silently swore in his heart that he must capture the Five Elders today and make Su Rui get out of their Rocks Pirates!
Newgate, who was beside Su Rui, took a big sip of the wine in the jug and looked at Su Rui.
“Why bother with his boring bet?”
“Since someone has come to me, I should accept the offer. Wouldn’t it be nice to add some fun to the fight?”
Su Rui said calmly, “It would be good to give him some momentum. If I refuse, he will make a scene again.”
Whitebeard Newgate also smiled helplessly and let them go.
Chapter 24 Dark Dark Fruit (Old Version)
After this farce, Rocks, the captain, finally began to speak.
“Just an admiral, a few vice admirals and a bunch of new recruits? Even if the Five Elders come, so what? Do you really think you can destroy our Knox Pirates with just these few people?!”
Rocks was obviously a little disdainful of the navy’s lineup.
“Who are the Navy and the World Government looking down on? I don’t think it would be possible to destroy our Rocks Pirates even if they sent out all the Five Elders!”
Such arrogant words caused the crew members of the Los Pirates to cheer and their morale immediately boosted.
Su Rui and White Beard beside him seemed to be relatively calm. After all, they had seen too many such morale-boosting words and were not much affected by them.
However, Rocks’ seemingly arrogant words were not without reason.
After two years of growth and development, Rocks, who is now in his prime, has reached the peak of his combat effectiveness.
Judging from his current capabilities, the warships and combat power sent by the navy are indeed not enough for him.
But this time the navy is coming with great force. Although it is not too difficult for members at their cadre level, I am afraid that most of the members of the Los Pirates will still be killed or injured under the navy’s artillery attack.
“Young ones!”
After finishing his morale-boosting speech, Rocks gave the order:
“Prepare for battle. We must let the Navy and the World Government know how powerful our Rocks Pirates are!”
The pirates immediately responded loudly, and at the same time they rushed to the outskirts of Beehive Island to guard against the navy’s attack. The cadres of the Rocks Pirates were no longer sitting leisurely, but stood up and watched the navy’s warships gradually approaching, always guarding against their attacks.
At the same time, the navy’s warships were slowly deployed around the entire Beehive Island. Admiral Kong looked at the pirates on the island, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous.
“Marine soldiers! You are about to face the most vicious pirate group in this ocean! Although we are about to achieve an overwhelming victory, we cannot let our guard down! We must remain vigilant and guard against their attacks at all times!”
Seeing that Beehive Island was already within the attack range of the warships, Admiral Kong immediately gave the order.
“fire!”
Following an order from Admiral Kong, thousands of shells were fired towards the Beehive Island at the same time. Seeing these dense shells about to fall on the Beehive Island, the pirates who had been so high-spirited just now became a little nervous.
After all, most pirates’ own strength is not enough to withstand such intensive artillery attacks!
Looking at such a horrifying scene, the pirates not only began to have some thoughts of retreating, but their originally forward steps were also slowly moving backwards.
“Run! Run!”
“The Navy’s shells are coming!”
“Get out of the way!”
The pirates looked at the shells about to land and fled for their lives, fearing that they would die in this wave of attack, and this scene caused Rocks’ dissatisfaction.
“What are you hiding from?!”
Rocks looked at his men who were so cowardly. He roared angrily and then waved his hand. A huge black hole appeared out of thin air above the entire Honeycomb Island.
The black hole was bottomless, and its huge attraction directly swallowed up the densely packed shells. In an instant, those overwhelming shells were immediately sucked into the black hole and disappeared.
The pirates watched their captain resolve the artillery crisis with such a simple move, and immediately began to cheer.
“Long live the Captain!”
“Long live Captain Rocks!”
Su Rui was watching Rocks’ move from the side and was full of admiration. He was indeed a truly powerful man in the world. His strength was indeed enough for him to not take the Five Elder Stars seriously!
Compared to the exciting atmosphere on Honeycomb Island, the navy’s mood after watching the scene just now was not as good as theirs.
“Is this the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit?”
One of the Five Elder Stars, Saint Satan, looked at what had just happened and his expression began to become solemn. It turned out that the World Government sent him out for a reason. This Rocks should not be underestimated.
Admiral Kong also frowned. Originally, he wanted to rely on artillery suppression to eliminate most of the combat forces on the Beehive Island first, but he didn’t expect that it would be so easily resolved by Rocks.
“This Rocks is really a monster.”
General Kong sighed, “The ability of this Dark Dark Fruit is really too tricky. Any attack can be directly swallowed by it!”
“Our previous battles were basically destroyed by Rocks.”
Vice Admiral Garp reported that after all, ever since the Rocks Pirates began to emerge, they have been ordered to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the Rocks Pirates. Every time they sent out warships to wipe them out, they were basically swallowed up by the moves used by Rocks’ Dark-Dark Fruit before they could even start fighting.
He didn’t even have a chance to fight and was defeated directly.
“His Dark-Dark Fruit seems to be able to devour everything in this world. No matter how big the object is, it is no problem for his black hole. He can even devour warships.”
Garp continued to explain the ability of Rocks’ Dark-Dark Fruit, and the more he understood it, the more difficult it became. After all, this meant that even if they launched another artillery attack, it would only be a waste of ammunition.
General Kong suddenly felt a headache. Could it be that their eradication operation today would end in failure?
“Do you have any solution?”
Admiral Kong couldn’t think of any strategy for a moment and could only turn his eyes to the people present. Once the warships continued to approach Beehive Island, it meant that they had also entered the attack range of the Knox Pirates. If they didn’t come up with a good combat strategy, this operation might really fail.
“Why did the navy’s attack stop?”
Shiki the Golden Lion saw that after the shells were swallowed, there was no movement from the navy, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Captain Rocks’s move alone scared them to death. What the hell are the Five Elders? They don’t even dare to fight us! What the hell are they! Are they so scared that they want to turn around and leave?”
Compared to the arrogance of Golden Lion, Su Rui is much more cautious. This operation is led by the Five Elders, and it must have been planned for a long time. How could they give up the elimination operation just because of the first attack?
Chapter 25 The battle begins! (Old version)
“Countermeasures? What other countermeasures are needed?”
Vice Admiral Garp is somewhat impatient with the current stagnant battle situation.
“Why do you like so much? Can’t you just go straight in?”
After saying this, before everyone could react, Garp took off into the air with several shells in his arms, and using the Navy’s Six-style Moon Step, he quickly rushed towards the Beehive Island.
Sengoku yelled at the scene, but it didn’t stop Garp’s attack, “Are you crazy?!”
Admiral Kong also knew Garp’s temper very well, and he felt a headache watching this scene.
“Garp is so reckless! How can he act so recklessly in such an important battle?”
Su Rui also noticed the sudden attack of Garp at the first moment. He really didn’t expect that Garp would rashly attack alone in a battle of this level.
He is indeed a real tiger!
At the same time, Su Rui thought about Garp’s current strength. Although he has not reached his peak state, he has been promoted to the position of lieutenant general, so his strength will naturally not be too bad. Perhaps it is not much different from his old age during the War of Marineford.
But even so, Garp’s ability should not be underestimated.
“Falling to the bottom of the sea!”
Garp roared, and his arm wrapped in domineering energy transferred the domineering energy to the cannonball in his hand. The cannonball immediately fell towards the Beehive Island at a rapid speed.
With the power of Garp, the flying speed of the cannonball was greatly increased. In the blink of an eye, the cannonball flew in front of the pirates. Before they could react, the cannonball exploded on the Beehive Island, creating a hole that was countless times larger than that of an ordinary cannonball.
The continuous artillery attacks caused countless casualties among the pirates on the front line of Beehive Island. The weaker pirates had no way to avoid Garp’s attack. Screams were heard everywhere and the pirates’ formation was immediately destroyed.
Help!
Run away!
Seeing Garp’s victory in the first battle, Admiral Kong immediately issued a battle order.
“Everyone, be alert! Prepare the shells! Continue shelling Honeycomb Island! The rest of the fighters, get ready for battle!”
“Vice Admiral, Garp.”
Rocks looked at Garp in the air with interest. He was very interested in this type of strong man. He didn’t care at all about the pirates who died at Garp’s hands. Instead, he was eager to try.
After all, only an opponent who is strong enough can make him want to fight.
“Captain! Leave this vice admiral to me!”
Before Rocks could make a move, Shiki the Golden Lion immediately flew up, relying on the power of his Floating Fruit to fly into the air, and quickly flew towards the warships closest to him. After his palms touched those warships, Shiki the Golden Lion also had the ability to control the gravity of the warships.
The Golden Lion shouted loudly, and the several warships that he had just touched immediately shattered and reorganized into the shape of a lion. The soldiers on the warships were tightly wrapped in the debris of the warships, and most of them were crushed to death. Their screams resounded throughout the sea area.
The battle of the Golden Lion Shiki was not over yet. The warship, which had turned into a lion, began to attack the warships next to it. The overwhelming attack made the navy at a loss as to what to do. The marines jumped off the warships to escape.
On the other hand, the navy saw the executives of the Rocks Pirates taking action and also sent out personnel to respond.
That is Vice Admiral Sengoku.
Sengoku is a user of the Animal-type Human-Human Fruit’s Mythical Beast-type Buddha form. He immediately transformed into a gigantic golden Buddha statue. He quickly slapped out a golden shock wave with his palm, which directly smashed the Golden Lion’s lion-like warship into pieces.
“Sengoku! Good job!”
Garp in mid-air laughed at Sengoku. Seeing Garp being so unserious on the battlefield, Sengoku felt a headache.
They were now facing the most vicious pirates in this sea. How could Garp still smile in such a situation?!
The attack of the Golden Lion Shiki was resolved by Zhan Guo, which made him particularly unhappy, because this was the opportunity he had fought for to show off!
The pirates on the Beehive Island looked at the Golden Lion, who was ranked in the top five in terms of combat power in the Rocks Pirates, and saw that his attack was easily resolved by the opponent for the first time. The expressions on their faces began to become solemn. This made them intuitively feel the opponent’s combat capability!
“Warring States!”
The Golden Lion gritted his teeth, then immediately raised his hand. He had already touched various objects on the Honeycomb Island. All the huge rocks and trees on the island immediately rose into the air and flew towards the warship at a high speed under the command of the Golden Lion Shiki.
While watching this scene, Garp immediately fired the remaining shells in his arms. Sengoku also shot out a golden shock wave again. The three forces collided and a huge explosion was heard in the air.
The warship was pushed back dozens of meters by the aftermath of the explosion, and some weaker pirates on Beehive Island were even knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion.
Although these members of the Rocks Pirates had followed them in many battles of varying sizes, this was the first time that most of them had seen such a grand scene!
As the captain, Rocks became more and more excited when he saw that the Golden Lion Shiki didn’t get any benefit from the two vice admirals.
Only an opponent that is strong enough will be challenging for him!
Su Rui stood there and observed the fight between the three of them, and also had a rough assessment of the strength of Garp and Sengoku.
Although it is still more or less tricky, fortunately their current strength has not yet reached its peak, so it is not difficult to defeat them.
The white-bearded man beside Su Rui was also concentrating and observing silently, and finally couldn’t help but sighed,
“It seems that in recent years, not only have there been many monsters in our Rocks Pirates, but there have also been monsters appearing in the navy.”
Admiral Sora saw that Garp and Sengoku had attracted the attention of the Rocks Pirates, and immediately issued new orders.
“Vice Admiral Crane! Lead five warships to land on several small islands on the side of Beehive Island and attack them from behind!”
After receiving the order, Lieutenant General He immediately took the warship and quietly left the main force, rushing towards several small islands on the side of Beehive Island. Coincidentally, one of Lieutenant General He’s target islands was Su Rui’s territory.
Chapter 26 Crane’s sneak attack (old version)
Soon after, the pirate in charge of observing the situation came over to report the situation.
“Report to the captain! We just saw five navy ships heading towards the small island on the side of our hive! Their target seems to be the territory of Lord Su Rui and Lord Newgate!”
Su Rui frowned when he heard this. Flame Flower and his daughter were still in his territory, and Vegapunk’s secret research institute was also hidden there, but the navy must not be allowed to land!
“Captain, I’ll go over and intercept them.”
Su Rui immediately stood up and walked in front of Rocks. Rocks also knew that Su Rui’s child was still in his territory, so he immediately agreed to his request.
“Go ahead, don’t let these navy go.”
After getting Rocks’ permission, Su Rui immediately transformed into a pterosaur, grew wings and flew rapidly towards his territory.
Sure enough, the intelligence was correct. There were indeed five warships approaching his territory at a rapid speed. When Su Rui looked closely, he found that the person leading these five warships was actually Lieutenant General He?
Quite interesting.
However, since it threatens Su Rui’s fundamental interests, he will not show mercy no matter who the opponent is.
Using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Su Rui injected his soul into the seawater, and the seawater immediately came to life. Under Su Rui’s command, huge waves were raised and hit the warship.
The deck began to shake violently due to Su Rui’s attack, and this sudden change immediately alerted Vice Admiral He.
“Something’s happening! Get ready for battle!”
At the same time, she also noticed Su Rui in the air, and her pupils suddenly tightened. She didn’t expect that the legendary monster newcomer would notice her actions so quickly!
“It’s your turn.”
Su Rui smiled faintly, and at the same time a long sword wrapped in a large amount of flames appeared in his hand. Su Rui swung the sword at the five warships, and a huge wave of fire swept across the entire warship.
The marines who were burned by the fire waves began to wail one after another. Some of them jumped directly off the warship to put out the fire. The whole scene was in chaos.
Just when Su Rui thought he was about to repel them, Lieutenant General He stood up.
An unknown force immediately covered the warship fleet. The flames of the warships that were originally burning quickly receded under the cleansing of this force. Even the wave Homies, who had just been injected with soul by Su Rui, lost their effect under the cleansing of this force.
This… is this the ability of the Wash Wash Fruit!?
Su Rui recalled the ability of the Washing Fruit, and it seemed that it could indeed wash any object. This kind of flame was naturally no problem for the Washing Fruit.
It seems that I really underestimated her.
Su Rui was a little shocked. He didn’t expect that Lieutenant General He’s ability was so strong. He could easily dissolve his attack with just one move? !
It turns out that the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters should not be underestimated.
However, after Lieutenant General He stepped forward to attack, Su Rui was able to see her appearance clearly.
The two-meter-tall He tied her hair into a simple high ponytail. The refreshing style complemented her serious expression, making her look unexpectedly pretty and charming.
I didn’t expect that Lieutenant General Tsuru was so beautiful when he was young? !
Lieutenant General He called out his name. It had to be said that he was more or less nervous when he met Su Rui here.
After all, she knew that it was impossible to defeat this man relying solely on her own abilities.
“I am Su Rui.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows. Although He was indeed beautiful, she was his enemy and he had no intention of showing any mercy to her. Moreover, there was such an important thing in his territory, so Su Rui would never let He go.
Just as Su Rui was preparing to launch the next wave of offensive and directly repel the five warships in front of him, the system’s prompt sound suddenly sounded.
“bite.”
“Detected recruitment target: [Crane]”
Hearing what the system said, Su Rui was choked by his own saliva.
The other party is a vice admiral of the navy! Can he recruit him into his family?!
“Dude, are you mistaken?”
Su Rui silently asked the system in his heart, but got a positive answer.
“Host, [He] is indeed a candidate for recruitment by the family.”
This really made Su Rui feel a bit tricky. After all, it was rare for the system to prompt that there were candidates for recruitment. However, the other party was a navy, and a navy with a very firm stance. How could it be so easy to get her to agree to join his family? !
But Su Rui didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity!
While Su Rui was hesitating, Lingling, who stayed in the territory, also noticed the approaching warships. You know, her sister-in-law and niece were on this island, how could she let the navy break in! ?
“Damn you navy! Get out of here right now!”
Without saying a word, Lingling raised her fist and jumped forward to attack the leading Vice Admiral He. However, He dodged Lingling’s punch by turning sideways. Her fist landed on the deck of the warship, and a huge hole appeared.
“This is the eight-year-old monster from the Rocks Pirates?!”
Vice Admiral He was also shocked. This was her first time to confront Lingling head-on. Although she had heard many rumors about her, she was still quite surprised to see for the first time how terrifying the monster Lingling was.
However, Lingling, who lacks combat experience, has no advantage over Vice Admiral Tsuru.
He’s hand quickly touched Lingling’s back, and Lingling’s originally huge body suddenly shrank and became flat, and her body slid to the ground with the wind.
“Lingling!”
Su Rui didn’t expect Lingling to be defeated so quickly. He didn’t stand there in a daze anymore. He immediately flapped his wings forward and grabbed Lingling on the ground with his claws.
When Lieutenant General He saw Su Rui coming to rescue her, she immediately prepared to use the same trick she had just used on Su Rui. However, Su Rui was already on guard, so naturally there was no chance for her to attack again.
While dodging to the side, Su Rui’s other dragon claw kicked hard at Vice Admiral He’s heart. He staggered and would have almost fallen to the ground if she hadn’t been supported by the marine behind her.
Lingling was successfully rescued by Su Rui, and after a while she was free from the negative effects of the Xixi Fruit, and her body recovered from a thin layer to a normal state.
“Thank you, brother!”
This was the first time that Lingling was defeated. After thanking Su Rui, she immediately wanted revenge.
“Brother! This is the territory the navy wants to attack! Let’s go together!”
Chapter 27 The Powers of the Five Elders! (Old Version)
Although Su Rui agreed to Lingling verbally, when he thought about the fact that the system had identified He as a potential recruit, he couldn’t really use his full strength to kill He.
After all, there are not many such excellent seeded players. It would be such a pity if they were really killed!
Thinking of this, Su Rui sighed silently in his heart. Although he was indeed cooperating with Lingling’s attack, he did not use his full strength. He could only suppress Lieutenant General He and prevented her from fighting back.
Lingling was very aware of Su Rui’s strength and had noticed that her brother didn’t seem to be putting in enough effort. Seeing that he couldn’t defeat Lieutenant General He, Lingling became a little anxious.
“Brother?! What are you doing?! Why are you so absent-minded? Hurry up and defeat these marines!”
Su Rui had no choice but to respond first. However, he still hadn’t decided whether to recruit Lieutenant General He, so he didn’t launch the attack with all his heart.
He also noticed that Su Rui seemed to be showing some mercy to her, which made the self-respecting Lieutenant General He feel a little insulted. However, although she tried hard to prove herself, she was still defeated under the attack of Charlotte’s brother and sister.
And Satan Saint, one of the Five Elder Stars who was on the warship, was looking at the stalemate in the main battlefield between Garp Sengoku and Golden Lion Shiki, while Crane on the side was intercepted by Su Rui and Lingling, and he was immediately furious.
“Is the Navy’s Demon Slayer Order only this strong?! It’s been so long and they haven’t gotten it yet?!”
Faced with the responsibilities of the Five Elders, Admiral Kong could only apologize.
“I’m so sorry, sir. I’ll find a way!”
Saint Satan had completely lost his patience, and in order to complete the task as quickly as possible, he decided to do it himself.
Satan Saint took a step forward and used his devil fruit ability. His lower body instantly turned into a spider, while his head was in the shape of a cow.
This is… a Mythical Beast Devil Fruit ability? !
The Rocks Pirates and the Navy also witnessed the ability of Saint Satan for the first time, but they didn’t know what kind of devil fruit this form was.
Su Rui realized the changes in the main battlefield over there, and was a little surprised to see that Saint Satan couldn’t help but take action.
However, compared to those who know nothing about Saint Satan’s abilities, Su Rui still has some understanding of him.
His ability is also a kind of animal-type mythical beast devil fruit, but it is in the form of a Japanese monster Ushio.
According to Su Rui’s understanding, this devil fruit in the form of a bull demon will give the user super endurance and recovery ability, and his lower limbs can be extended, and it also carries a highly corrosive venom. In short, it is a very tricky ability.
Today’s battle should be exciting enough!
While Su Rui was observing the main battlefield, Garp, who was seeing Vice Admiral Tsuru being defeated, also came to support.
A punch covered with super strong armament domineering came directly towards Su Rui. Seeing that Garp actually came to him on his own initiative, Su Rui was quite happy.
After all, he didn’t want to continue fighting with He, and this was his first head-on confrontation with Garp. Su Rui was still very interested in fighting with Garp, a heavyweight figure who was hailed as a naval hero in the original world line.
“Lingling! You have to be careful of He’s ability! You must not let her touch you!”
Su Rui shouted to remind Lingling, Lingling responded, and the two sides continued to fight.
“Su Rui! I finally caught you!”
When Garp faced Su Rui, there was excitement in his eyes. After all, Garp was also a fighting fanatic, and of course he was looking forward to fighting with Su Rui, whom he had been chasing for so long.
“Caught me? Garp, isn’t it a little too early for you to say that!?”
Su Rui laughed loudly, then retracted his devil fruit form. Before deciding the winner, he really wanted to clash with Garp to see the difference in strength between the two!
It was also a plain punch, and the two fists covered with dark armed color domineering collided with each other, and there were even traces of sparks.
When Karp’s fist met Su Rui’s, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
“You actually have the domineering aura?!”
Su Rui smiled faintly, “Same here!”
After that, the two sides began to violently collide with each other using their domineering fists as the medium. The momentum was so great that even Rocks on the Beehive Island couldn’t help but look sideways.
Rocks was not surprised that Garp had Conqueror’s Haki, after all, he was a new generation of combat power that the Navy had focused on training. But he did not expect that even his subordinate Su Rui was a possessor of Conqueror’s Haki! ?
He was really looking forward to seeing how many surprises Su Rui could bring him!
However, the clash of domineering Haki between Garp and Su Rui ended in a stalemate for a long time, and no one could tell who was the winner. The potential of both sides could only be said to be evenly matched. Seeing that there was no winner in the clash of domineering Haki, both sides tacitly retracted their Haki.
Su Rui hadn’t encountered such an equally matched opponent for a long time, and his desire to fight became stronger and stronger. Karp felt the same way. Both sides got ready and started a new competition.
Su Rui, who possesses multiple devil fruit abilities, certainly would not choose a simple physical competition in pursuit of so-called “fairness”. He ruthlessly used the fruit ability of the Yamata no Orochi. His left arm instantly turned into a giant snake and bit Garp’s shoulder directly.
Garp was shocked. He was still immersed in the Haki competition and failed to defend against this move. He was actually bitten by the big snake. Fortunately, he had the Armament Haki and did not suffer any serious damage.
Garp simply grabbed the snake’s head with his hand. The huge grip made Su Rui feel a great sense of oppression. If he was not also covered with the same armament color, the snake’s head would probably have been twisted off by Garp.
Seeing that this trick didn’t work, Su Rui immediately changed his attack, retracted his arm into the form of a big snake, and punched Garp in the face again.
At the same time, Karp’s fist also hit Su Rui’s face with the same move. Both of them were hit by each other’s fists at the same time, and a trace of blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.
Su Rui reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth. He was injured for what was rarely seen?!
However, Su Rui was not annoyed. He enjoyed fighting with someone of equal strength even if he was injured!
There was fanaticism in Garp’s eyes, and both sides had a vague feeling that they had met too late. Looking at Garp’s appearance, Su Rui also adjusted his state and launched the next wave of attacks.
Chapter 28 Recruiting Crane! (Old Version)
While Garp and Su Rui were fighting vigorously, Beehive Island was showing signs of falling apart because of the fighting on the island.
It has to be said that Saint Satan is indeed qualified to be one of the Five Elder Stars. With him as the main attacking force, even with the combat power of Rocks, Whitebeard and others, they still did not gain much benefit.
This situation made Rocks extremely unhappy. He would not allow himself to experience failure, even if the opponent was a member of the Five Elder Stars!
“Newgate! Cooperate with my attack!”
Rocks shouted and immediately supported his hands on the ground. A huge black hole quickly spread out, covering even the feet of Saint Satan.
Saint Satan mainly relies on his extendable spider-shaped lower limbs to fight. The lower limbs with corrosive venom have killed many pirates. This tricky skill is also one of the important reasons why Rocks has been unable to defeat it.
Saint Satan was already overwhelmed by the pirates’ encirclement, and he didn’t even notice that he had been covered by Rocks’ black hole. By the time he realized this, he was already like trapped in a swamp. His lower limbs used for attacking were gradually swallowed by the black hole. Even though he tried hard to struggle free, he could only sink deeper and deeper.
“Newgate! Now!”
Rocks reminded Whitebeard loudly, and Whitebeard Newgate instantly understood what Rocks meant. He immediately flew forward and hit Saint Satan’s chest with a full-strength attack of the Tremor Fruit.
Sengoku was deeply trapped in the attack of Golden Lion Shiki. When he saw Saint Satan being swallowed by the black hole, it was too late. Whitebeard attacked with all his strength, causing even a powerful figure like Saint Satan to spit out a large mouthful of blood. The most important organs in his chest showed signs of being broken!
“not good!”
General Kong saw that the strongest fighting force on their side was at a disadvantage. In order to prevent the Five Elder Stars from falling in this battle, although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to retreat under such circumstances.
“All marines, follow my orders! Retreat!”
Kong shouted and quickly ran towards the location of Saint Satan. He had lost consciousness but had regained his human form. Kong used the Moon Step to pick him up and then quickly evacuated towards the warship.
“Want to run?!”
Rocks was immediately excited when he saw this scene. “Guys! Hurry and chase them! There will be a huge reward for capturing the Five Elders alive!”
Captain John saw that Satan Saint was injured and lost consciousness, and remembered the bet he made with Su Rui before the transfer began. He immediately chased Kong desperately, trying to snatch Satan Saint from him.
Kong was already upset because of the failure of this operation, and seeing Captain John taking the brunt of the pursuit, he became even more angry. Thinking that Captain John seemed to be one of the cadres of the Rocks Pirates, he immediately gave orders to Sengoku standing beside him.
“Zhan Guo! Capture a few cadres and report back!”
After hearing the order, Zhan Guo immediately gave up the fight with the Golden Lion Shiki and rushed to Captain John’s position. A golden shock wave passed by and the unprepared Captain John was knocked to the ground. Zhan Guo also picked him up and quickly retreated.
Rocks originally wanted to continue pursuing the victory, but after looking at the situation on Beehive Island, he realized that it had become devastated by the battle and his officers were all injured to some extent. If he continued to pursue, he would be in trouble if he encountered the support sent by the Navy and the World Government.
Thinking of this, Rocks had to give up for the time being.
Garp and Tsuru on the side battlefield also received Sora’s order to retreat. Although Garp did not want to retreat, seeing that the battle on the main battlefield was over and Rocks and the cadres were about to rush here, if he did not retreat, he and Tsuru would have to die here.
“Su Rui! I’ll have a good fight with you next time!”
After saying this, Garp quickly retreated towards the warship, while shouting to Vice Admiral Tsuru,
“Xiaohe, retreat!”
He nodded and prepared to retreat, but unfortunately Su Rui would not give her this opportunity. He quickly stepped forward and clamped He who was about to evacuate. After all, this was someone who was expected to become a member of his family. How could Su Rui let her leave easily?
“Xiaohe!?”
Garp saw the crane fall into Su Rui’s hands and immediately prepared to rescue it, but was stopped by a marine nearby.
“Vice Admiral Garp, you can’t go over now! Look! Rocks and the others are already here! The Five Elders have already retreated, and it’s impossible to successfully rescue them just relying on one person!”
Although Karp felt unwilling after hearing this, his mind was still clear. He would certainly not do something that would obviously cost him his life. He could only watch He being taken away by Su Rui.
After a thrilling battle, Rocks did not suffer any major losses except that Captain John was captured, but Su Rui made huge gains.
He, with seastone handcuffs on her hands, was locked in the house by Su Rui. Su Rui originally wanted her to join his family, but no matter what, He refused to agree.
“Is it so difficult to get you to agree to join my family?”
Su Rui was also very worried. This was the first time that someone chosen by the system disagreed to join his family.
“What should we do in this situation now?”
Su Rui silently asked the system in his heart, and the system quickly gave an answer.
“Even if the target person does not agree to join the family, he or she can still get the reward first if there is evidence of the behavior of a family member.”
The reality of family behavior?
Su Rui didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence at first. It was only after thinking about it for a while that he realized it.
The reality of so-called family behavior, apart from blood relations, isn t the only relationship between husband and wife the main body?
The logic of this system is really simple and crude…
Su Rui sighed silently in his heart. Although he was not the type who liked to play by force, he felt sorry for the sake of the family’s development and the system’s rewards!
He, with seastone handcuffs on her hands, looked at Su Rui in front of her with eyes that became a little hotter. She immediately became alert and shrank into the corner. However, under the influence of the seastone’s weakening effect, how could she possibly resist Su Rui?
More than half an hour later, Su Rui finally came out.
The system prompt sounded.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting [Crane] as a family member, and receiving the following rewards: [Eight Gates of Dunjia] [Ability Blessing for the Host’s Offspring: Born a Strong and Powerful Person] [Host’s Three-Colored Happiness Enhancement]”
Listening to the series of rewards announced by the system, Su Rui couldn’t help but sigh, it turned out that the quality of the rewards was proportional to the difficulty of recruiting cranes!
Chapter 29: Hand over the Crane? (Old Version)
Time flies, and soon another three years have passed.
Ever since the last large-scale attack on Beehive Island by the navy was thwarted, things have been calm for a long time, but this is also because the Rocks Pirates have not taken any major actions recently.
“He, come out to eat.”
Huoyanhua came to the door of He’s room and called her out for dinner. Although He had been forced to join Su Rui’s family for three years, she had always been lukewarm towards Su Rui and the others.
Seeing that Hetou didn’t even turn around, Flame Flower wasn’t annoyed. Rather, she had already gotten used to it.
“Don’t bother with her.”
Su Rui tried to comfort him. After all, He had always been arrogant, so it was natural that he would be unwilling to fall into his hands. Su Rui understood that.
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on Su Rui’s body rang. It was Rocks from Beehive Island calling.
Is there any new mission?
Su Rui called the Den Den Mushi, and the Den Den Mushi immediately showed the appearance of Rocks.
“Su Rui, Vice Admiral He, that woman is still in your hands, right?”
When Su Rui saw Rocks mentioned the crane, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
“You know about the battle on Beehive Island three years ago, when the navy kidnapped John.”
Rocks said casually, “The navy sent someone to deliver a message saying that they plan to exchange John and the rest of our men for their Vice Admiral Crane. Do you have any objection?”
Su Rui’s face darkened when he heard this. Rocks actually planned to exchange a lieutenant general for that waste Captain John?
Captain John is not considered a heavyweight in the Rocks Pirates, so it’s not worth exchanging him with the Navy for a vice admiral like Crane!
Even though He never acknowledged Su Rui in these three years, how could Su Rui possibly exchange his woman with someone else?
Rocks listened to Su Rui’s brief silence and continued speaking.
“Su Rui, prepare the people in advance. I have already promised the navy.”
There was a sense of unquestionableness in Rocks’ words. Although Su Rui did not intend to hand over He just like that, he still agreed because he was still under the command of Rocks Pirates.
“Yes, Captain.”
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Su Rui’s expression was not good. Flame Flower next to him also heard their conversation and had a serious expression as well.
After all, she also knew that Su Rui would never hand over the crane.
“What are you going to do?”
There was some worry in Flame Flower’s tone, “Rocks…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t fall out with Rocks.”
Su Rui’s words immediately dispelled Fire Flower’s concerns. Looking at the entire ocean now, the most powerful pirate group is the Rocks Pirates. Even though Su Rui’s family has become quite large, if they really go against Rocks, there can only be one result, and that is destruction.
Su Rui is certainly not such a stupid person. He still needs time to let himself and his family grow slowly!
“I won’t hand over the crane either. I will find a way to solve this matter.”
Su Rui stood up and walked straight into the room and began to think about countermeasures.
Captain John is not an important person. The reason why Rocks agreed to exchange hostages with the navy is probably because it would not have much impact on him whether to exchange or not, and that changing people would increase the internal cohesion of the pirate group, so he agreed.
As for the Navy… they proposed a replacement three years later, which might be a bit of an impure motive. However, let’s not talk about the Navy’s movements for now. Since Su Rui can’t really hand over He, and it’s impossible for him to break up with Rocks, the only way is…
Hand over a fake crane!
As soon as this idea appeared in Su Rui’s mind, Su Rui immediately thought of a devil fruit.
The superhuman imitation fruit!
If you can get this fruit, you can hand over a fake crane and prevent the navy from playing tricks!
Su Rui suddenly became energetic when he thought of this. He recalled the timeline and the imitation fruit… he should be in Wano Country now!
After setting a target, Su Rui immediately began to prepare to set off. After all, the exchange was imminent, and he had to get the imitation fruit as soon as possible!
“Where’s Wan’er?”
Su Rui walked out of the room and asked Huoyan Flower. Huoyan Flower pointed to the door. The five-year-old Su Wan perfectly inherited the beauty of Huoyan Flower. Her chubby pink face was very cute. Although she still had the body of a child, her abilities were not inferior to Lingling back then.
As Su Rui’s eldest daughter, it’s time to take her out to see the outside world!
“Wan’er? Do you want to go out to sea with daddy?”
Su Rui squatted down and looked at Su Wan who was playing with sand. When Su Wan heard that they were going out to play, her eyes lit up immediately and she agreed immediately.
“Yes! Yes! Wan’er wants to go out and play with daddy!”
Huoyanhua couldn’t help but feel a little worried when she heard this.
“You want to take Wan’er out?”
“She’s a pirate’s child.”
Su Rui directly grabbed Su Wan and put her on his shoulders, “It’s time to take her out for a walk!”
After saying this, Su Rui directly transformed into a huge pterosaur, and Su Wan sat on his back. The feeling of suddenly rushing into the sky did not make her feel scared at all. Instead, she clapped her hands in excitement.
Huoyanhua looked at this scene helplessly. She was not worried about the safety issue. After all, there were only a handful of people in the world who wanted to defeat Su Rui one-on-one.
Fortunately, Wano Country is not far away. Guided by the recording pointer, Su Rui flew in the form of a pterosaur for about half a day and saw Wano Country.
This is it!
Su Rui transformed into a human form, holding Su Wan’s hand and stepping on the ground. As soon as they landed, they were immediately surrounded by a group of people who looked like warriors.
“There are foreigners invading! There are foreigners invading!”
The warriors shouted and drew their swords, slowly approaching Su Rui and his daughter. Su Rui wanted to take a break, but he didn’t expect these warriors to not give him a chance.
There’s nothing we can do about it.
“Just watch from the side.”
Su Rui pushed Su Wan behind him, and in the blink of an eye his body suddenly grew in size and turned into the form of the Yamata no Orochi. The huge snake head spewed flames, burning the warriors and causing them to scream.
With just one move, all the warriors who had attempted to attack Su Rui were wiped out.
“Take me to find Kurotsuchi Muchan.”
Su Rui mentioned the warrior who was the least injured. After seeing Su Rui’s abilities, he had completely lost the desire to resist. He nodded repeatedly and immediately led the way for Su Rui, fearing that Su Rui would attack him again.
Su Wan was no longer surprised by her father’s appearance. Instead, she was more curious about the surrounding scenery and kept looking around along the way.
Chapter 30: Wano Country (Old Version)
What Su Rui wants to use this time is the Kurozumi family in Wano Country.
You should know that the Kurozumi family was originally one of the daimyo families serving the Kozuki clan of Wano Country, but because the Kurozumi family once attempted to rebel, they were exterminated by the Kozuki family. Kurozumi Orochi and the current user of the Mimic Fruit, Kurozumi Kurushi, are both survivors of the Kurozumi family.
Under the guidance of the warrior, Su Rui quickly arrived at a broken cave where the Heitan family was hiding. He picked up Su Wan, and the two walked straight in.
Su Rui frowned at the inexplicable smell of decay, and the people hiding in the cave noticed someone breaking in, so they immediately lit torches and looked at the intruder vigilantly.
Who are you!?
Kurotan Muchan stared at Su Rui intently, and was slightly stunned when he saw that Su Rui was not wearing the traditional samurai uniform of Wano Country.
“You came from the open sea?”
Heitan Muchan was quite surprised, while Su Wan in Su Rui’s arms was staring at Heitan Muchan’s Heitan Snake. At that time, Heitan Snake was just the age of a little kid, and his ugly appearance with a big snotty nose made Su Wan’s face flash with a trace of disgust.
“You don’t need to know my origins.”
Su Rui directly stated his purpose, “I just need you to do me a favor, and I can make your Kurotan family the general of Wano Country.”
When Kurotan Muchan heard this, his expression suddenly brightened, but soon turned into a look full of doubt.
“Just you? Can you make our Black Charcoal Family rise? Stop kidding!”
Su Rui was in no mood to talk nonsense with her.
“Do you have any other choice? If you don’t help me, I can just wipe out the last descendants of your Black Charcoal Family. Why would I bother to negotiate with you?”
Hearing this, Heitan Muchan swallowed her saliva. From the strong pressure from the other party, she could feel that Su Rui was not bragging, and the current situation of the Heitan family…
There seemed to be no other choice but to trust this stranger.
“Okay, I promise you!”
Kurozumi Muchan finally made up his mind, “What do you want me to do?”
“You’ll know what to do later.”
Su Rui’s purpose in Wano Country is not just to take Kurozumi Muchan away, he has more important things to do.
“Stay here, I’ll come find you when I’m done.”
After saying this, Su Rui turned around and left with Su Wan, leaving this shabby cave filled with a fishy smell.
“Dad, where are we going now?”
This Wano Country was a little boring compared to what Su Wan had imagined, and Su Wan gradually felt a little bored.
“How long will it take us to get back?”
Soon.
Su Rui pinched Su Wan’s nose and said, “I’ll take you to a fun place.”
Compared with the fanfare just now, Su Rui was much more low-key this time. He took advantage of the night to arrive at the most prosperous area of ??Wano Country – Flower Capital, which is also the capital of Wano Country.
This time, he also wants to turn Wano Country into his own territory!
The Shogun’s Mansion is located in the center of the Flower Capital, so it is not difficult to find. Su Rui and Su Wan avoided the guards and went directly to the current Shogun of Wano Country, Kotsuki Sukiyaki.
At this time, Kotsuki Sukiyaki was already asleep, so Su Rui walked straight to his couch. Sukiyaki, who was sleeping, sensed someone approaching, and immediately sat up, drew out his sword Tenyuhazan, and was about to chop towards Su Rui.
Su Rui would naturally not sit there and wait for death. He also drew his sword and blocked Sukiyaki’s attack with one hand. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Sukiyaki to the ground.
Kozuki Sukiyaki was quite surprised by the strength of the invader. You know, the Shogun’s Mansion can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire Wano Country, and the man in front of him actually invaded with a child?
What kind of strength is this?
Sukiyaki got up and still held the sword to confront Su Rui, “You are from the outer sea, what are you doing in Wano Country?”
Su Rui had no intention of becoming hostile to the Kozuki clan right now, so he waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
“Don’t get excited. I’m not here to kill you.”
Su Rui said, “But I do have something to discuss with you. From now on, Wano Country will become my territory.”
“What a fool’s dream!”
Sukiyaki seemed a little angered by Su Rui’s words, and swung his sword to chop at Su Rui again, but Su Rui instantly moved and put his Ryujin Jakka directly on Sukiyaki’s neck.
“I know that your Kozuki clan has the ability to read ancient characters. You are the clan of heroes who recorded the historical texts back then. Wano Country also has the historical texts of the road signs and clues to the ancient weapon Pluto…”
“If you agree, then we are all happy, but if you refuse…”
Su Rui’s voice carried a hint of intimidation.
“I will directly exterminate your Kozuki clan, and then announce to the world that Wano Country has hidden historical texts and clues to Pluto. This will lead to countless pirates invading, and the people of your Wano Country…”
When he thought of that scene, Kozuki Sukiyaki couldn’t help but shudder. Although he met Su Rui for the first time today, he believed that the man in front of him could definitely do what he said.
After thinking for a while, although Sukiyaki was somewhat reluctant, for the future of Wano Country, he had no choice but to agree.
“Okay, I agree to your terms.”
Seeing that Sukiyaki was indeed a man who knew how to deal with things, Su Rui felt much more relieved. Otherwise, he would have to stay in Wano Country for a few more days.
“Father?”
At this moment, the door of the Sukiyaki room was pushed open, and the two-year-old Kozuki Oden walked in rubbing his eyes. He was quite puzzled to see two strangers in the room. But when his eyes fell on the fat Su Wan, his eyes suddenly lit up.
So beautiful!
Kozuki Oden has been a lustful person since he was a child. When he saw Su Wan, who was as delicate as a doll, he immediately came forward and wanted to hold her hand.
Su Rui frowned when he saw this scene. As a father, he certainly couldn’t just watch his cabbage being eaten by a pig like Oden. He was about to stop him, but it was obvious that he was worrying too much.
Bang!
Su Wan threw Kozuki Oden to the ground with a solid shoulder throw. Her movements were quick and decisive, without any delay.
Su Rui was no longer surprised by his daughter’s powerful strength, but Mitsuki Sukiyaki on the side was jaw-dropping.
Although it can be seen that the girl Su Rui brought is a few years older than Oden, even so, his son Oden is a well-known monster!
When he was 0 years old, he could throw the nanny away. When he was 2 years old, he could catch two rabbits. But now he was beaten by a little girl?!
Chapter 31 Shoot! (Old Version)
“Oden!?”
Kozuki Sukiyaki was shocked, “You were beaten by a little girl?!”
Oden lay on the ground for a long time before he recovered. After all, Su Wan used all her strength. Let alone a two-year-old child, even if it was Kozuki Sukiyaki, he would probably have to lie on the ground for a while.
“Forgive me.”
Of course, Su Rui did not mean to say this. It would be more accurate to say that he was somewhat happy to see it happen. It was a good thing that his daughter had such strong defenses!
“Remember our agreement. I will come back when the time is right.”
After saying this, Su Rui did not stay any longer. He took Su Wan and left the general’s mansion directly and returned to the cave where Heitan Muchan was hiding.
Seeing Su Rui turning back so quickly, Heitan Muchan was obviously a little uneasy, but thinking of the agreement they had made before, he still stepped forward bravely.
“So…what exactly do you want me to help you with?”
“Your life.”
Su Rui answered straightforwardly. He paused for a moment, but it was not surprising. He turned his head to look at the young Black Charcoal Snake and said to Su Rui,
“I can give you my life in the future, but can you let me see someone from our Black Charcoal family become a general before killing me?”
Facing the request made by Heitan Muchan, Su Rui was a little impatient.
“You are not qualified to negotiate with me.”
Looking at Su Rui’s expression, Heitan Muchan knew that he had no say, so he could only sigh and obey Su Rui.
“Then I’ll go with you!”
After successfully taking away Kurozumi Muchan, the user of the Mimic Fruit, Su Rui quickly returned to their territory.
The round trip took almost a whole day.
“You are finally back!”
Huoyanhua saw Su Rui coming back with Wan’er and hurried to greet them. When she saw that Su Rui was coming back with a stranger, she was a little puzzled.
Who is ?
“A tool man.”
The next day was when Rocks and the navy agreed to exchange hostages. When Rocks saw that Su Rui actually brought He to Honeycomb Island, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Su Rui actually brought this woman here?
Although Su Rui usually stays in his own territory, it is not difficult for Rocks to know that Vice Admiral He is now an important member of their family. According to Su Rui’s character, he probably would not hand him over so easily, but he didn’t expect that he would be so obedient?
Originally, Rocks was worried that if Su Rui did not cooperate, the two sides might fall out. Now it seems that he was just overthinking.
“Captain, I have brought the person here.”
Su Rui pointed at the crane following behind him, and Rocks nodded.
“This is just a handover ceremony. I’ll send you there. Just take the people to the port in front and exchange them.”
Su Rui nodded and said,
“Captain, Zhan Guo is a cunning person. I think this is not just a simple exchange of hostages.”
Rocks sneered when he heard this.
“Am I afraid they will cause trouble?”
Seeing Rocks’s confident look, Su Rui didn’t say anything more. After all, the Rocks Pirate Group had been growing continuously in the past three years. If they wanted to get rid of them, the entire Navy Headquarters would have to be mobilized.
Su Rui brought He to the designated port. The representatives sent by the navy were Zhan Guo and Zefa, and standing in front of them were Captain John and others who were handcuffed with seastone handcuffs.
It is not difficult to see that Captain John has suffered a lot at the hands of the navy in these three years. His face has obviously become much thinner, and there is a bit of anxiety in his eyes when he looks at Su Rui. He probably wants to come back soon.
“I have brought your people with me.”
Zhan Guo looked at the crane beside Su Rui with a serious expression, “Now both sides start the exchange, is that ok?”
Su Rui nodded and signaled He to go forward. The handcuffs on Captain John and others on the seashore were also loosened. The hostages on both sides were exchanged. Captain John took big strides and ran towards Su Rui madly, fearing that he would be late for a second.
Zhan Guo stared at Captain John’s back, and when he saw that He had returned to their side, he immediately gave a loud order,
“shooting!”
As soon as Zhan Guo finished speaking, the soldiers next to him immediately raised their guns and shot directly at the pirates. Su Rui rolled over and dodged the bullet, but the hostage who was exchanged back was not so lucky.
Captain John’s three years in prison had slowed his movements, not to mention the sudden attack. Dozens of bullets hit his back at the same time. He spurted out a large amount of blood from his mouth and then fell to the ground.
Although Su Rui didn’t care much about Captain John’s life or death, the navy’s move was tantamount to a provocation to their Knox Pirates!
Rocks at the back also changed his expression when he saw this scene. Although he had long known that the navy had bad intentions, he did not expect them to be so arrogant!
Rocks could not tolerate such a slap in the face, so he flew up suddenly, black smoke spreading from his body, and punched Zephyr directly.
Su Rui watched Rocks take action, so he naturally did not sit idle either. He also transformed into the appearance of the Yamata no Orochi, but his target was not Warring States.
Su Rui’s Yamata no Orochi’s head spurted out a huge column of fire directly towards Crane. Seeing this, Zhan Guo, who was standing by, was startled and immediately shouted, protecting Crane behind him.
“Xiaohe! Be careful!”
The huge flame was held up by Zhan Guo, who then hugged the Crane in front of him. After not seeing him for three years, although the Crane looked a little slow, Zhan Guo did not think much about it until the Crane he was protecting drew its sword and stabbed at him.
“Xiao He…you…”
Zhan Guo was a little bit unbelievable. He couldn’t believe that the comrade He whom he protected actually betrayed him? !
“Who’s your crane?”
“He” sneered and immediately turned into the appearance of Kurotan Muchan. Zhan Guo was shocked and realized that he had been deceived. He quickly distanced himself and sent out a fierce golden shock wave, ending Kurotan Muchan’s life.
Su Rui didn’t react much to this scene. After all, Heitan Muchan’s mission to replace He had been completed. It didn’t matter whether such a despicable character lived or died.
Zefa was fighting fiercely with Rocks. After noticing the sudden changes here, he realized that Su Rui had outmaneuvered him. Considering that they did not have enough manpower this time, it was not wise to start a war with Rocks here, so they could only choose to retreat.
Chapter 32: One Billion Dollar Bounty (Old Version)
Damn it!
Sengoku roared unwillingly, but due to the situation, he was forced to continue fighting with the Rocks Pirates here, which would only end in annihilation of the entire army.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be led by Zephyr to evacuate Beehive Island, and watched helplessly as his subordinates who had not had time to evacuate were all slaughtered by the pirates.
Half an hour later, the last marine died at the hands of the pirate. Of course, Rocks was very happy about this great victory.
“Su Rui is our great hero this time!”
Rocks raised his glass and laughed.
“I actually guessed that the navy was going to play tricks and handed over a fake crane. Otherwise, we would have suffered a huge loss this time!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to cheer for Su Rui. Su Rui smiled faintly and did not comment on it. After all, he was not the only one who guessed that the navy would do something.
However, he did make a contribution this time, but on the navy’s side, he is probably regarded as the number one enemy.
“That damn Su Rui!”
Zhan Guo’s body was wrapped in gauze, and he looked like he was covered in wounds. He was so angry that he punched the table.
“How dare you use a fake product to deceive us!”
Karp, who was standing by, was serious for a rare moment.
“Don’t make such a big move if you are still injured. It’s not the first day we’ve known how difficult Su Rui is. What’s more, we didn’t intend to really exchange hostages with them in the first place.”
Zefa’s expression became more solemn. “But speaking of it, if the little crane that was killed by Zhan Guo today was a fake, then the real little crane…”
After being silent for a long time, Sora finally spoke.
“We have received intelligence that the real Crane is indeed still alive and has been in Su Rui’s personal territory, but it is still unclear whether he has rebelled.”
When Zhan Guo heard this, he immediately became excited.
“General! Xiao He will never betray us! How could she possibly associate with a pirate like Su Rui?!”
“Even if she didn’t betray, she has been with Su Rui for three years. If she had a strong sense of resistance, Su Rui would never have kept her alive for so long.”
Kong continued to analyze rationally. Even though he didn’t want to accept it, this was the fact he had come to based on his analysis.
Even though Zhan Guo didn’t want to admit it, Kong’s analysis did make sense. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he just sighed.
“Remove former Vice Admiral Crane from the Navy.”
Kong finally made the decision, “Want him as a pirate, bounty… 300 million!”
These words made Garp and the others silent. After all, He had been their comrade-in-arms for many years and their relationship was extremely deep. Now he was trapped in a pirate den and was wanted as a pirate. Of course, they felt bad.
“It’s time to increase the bounty on Su Rui.”
Zefa said, “This time he found a new ability user from somewhere to impersonate Crane. This probably means that he has a new member under his command, and his strength must have increased significantly.”
Sora nodded.
“Then let’s increase Su Rui’s bounty to 1 billion. But this alone is not enough. The strength of the Rocks Pirates is also increasing overall. Our Navy Headquarters has never gained any advantage over them over the years. If we allow the situation to continue to develop, I’m afraid the Rocks Pirates will cause chaos one day.”
Kong glanced at the people in front of him, “You have all seen what happened to Crane. I don’t want you to repeat the same mistake. Think carefully about how to deal with the Rocks Pirates! How to deal with Su Rui!”
The three of them responded in unison, and after the meeting, they walked out of the empty office together, each with extremely complicated feelings.
And the very next day, Su Rui’s updated wanted poster was sent to his territory by a seagull, sandwiched in a newspaper.
Su Wan, who was playing on the beach, picked up a newspaper that had fallen on the ground and saw the wanted poster sandwiched in the newspaper at a glance.
It s Dad s photo!
Su Wan excitedly ran towards Su Rui holding the newspaper, “Dad! There’s a photo of you in the newspaper!”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows, picked up Su Wan and took the newspaper in her hand. As expected, his wanted poster was included in it.
“The reward…”
Su Rui counted the number below the bounty, “One billion…”
Su Rui was not surprised by this number. After all, the navy had just suffered such a huge loss yesterday. The only thing the navy could do was to increase his bounty.
But a reward of 1 billion is not that high.
Just when Su Rui was about to fold his bounty order into a paper airplane for his daughter to play with, he suddenly found another bounty order from behind.
Su Rui flipped it open and found it was an unexpected gain.
Because this bounty order does not belong to anyone else, it is the bounty order originally issued by Vice Admiral Crane!
After enduring for three years, the navy finally removed He from the list.
interesting.
“Wan’er go play by yourself, Daddy has something to do.”
Su Rui coaxed Su Wan away and walked towards the house where He lived.
He was quite cold towards everyone in Su Rui’s family, and would only occasionally show a gentler expression to Su Wan. Therefore, Su Rui did not force her and arranged a residence for her on the side of the island, where usually no one would come to disturb her.
At this moment, He was exercising by lifting a stone. Even in such an environment, she did not give up on herself. Feeling someone approaching, He quickly looked back, and after seeing that it was Su Rui, she put down the boulder in her hand.
You are wanted by the Navy.
Su Rui handed her the wanted warrant directly. He looked at her photo and was shocked.
“It’s impossible to go back to the navy.”
Even though Su Rui had exploited a system loophole to allow He to join his family at the time, He has yet to agree to join. Therefore, Su Rui seized this opportunity to persuade He.
“It’s already been confirmed that you’re a pirate, so why bother to keep insisting on it?”
Su Rui persuaded, “The Rocks Pirates are now in good shape, and I have never treated you harshly in the three years you have been with me. Why don’t you just join and become one of my men?”
“If you really don’t want to, I can let you go. My family doesn’t need to keep someone who is unwilling to leave.”
Hearing this, He sighed.
These three years have exhausted her patience, and although Su Rui is a pirate, He has to admit his strength and wisdom.
Even if she left now, the top leaders of the World Government would not believe that she had not betrayed the Navy. It seemed that since there was no turning back, obeying Su Rui was indeed the only choice.
“I’d like to join.”
Chapter 33 Welcome to the New World (Old Version)
Time flies, and soon it comes to the day two years before the Battle of God Valley.
Since the hostage exchange incident, He also agreed to join Su Rui’s family. After a few years of getting along, he wholeheartedly acknowledged Su Rui’s leadership position.
During this period, Su Rui’s second daughter Su Jiao was also born. Like his eldest daughter Su Wan, Su Jiao showed her amazing talent as soon as she was born. It goes without saying that she will become one of the powerful fighting forces in Su Rui’s family like his eldest daughter Su Wan.
In the current Rocks Pirates, the Su Rui family’s combat power ranks third under Rocks, behind Whitebeard Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki. It has become a powerful force in the Rocks Pirates that cannot be underestimated.
Compared with the superficial strength, Su Rui cares more about the progress of his subordinates’ scientific research, that is, the research on Vegapunk’s bloodline factors.
During these years, Vegapunk has been secretly conducting research in the cave led by Su Rui. Su Rui has invested a steady stream of money and resources into it, and it has finally paid off.
“How is the progress now? Have you studied the bloodline factor thoroughly?”
Su Rui came to the cave where Vegapunk lived as usual. Seeing Su Rui coming, Vegapunk reported the current situation to him with great excitement.
“The research on bloodline factors has begun to take shape!”
Vegapunk rubbed his hands excitedly. “However, the specific effect still needs to be tested. So I need materials for the experiment. Only if the experiment is successful can I prove that my research is feasible.”
Su Rui was a little surprised when he heard this. You know, bloodline factors are not something that can be researched casually. He didn’t expect that Vegapunk’s progress was so fast?
He is indeed the smartest man in the world.
“Materials…”
Su Rui pondered for a moment. He already had an idea about the candidates for the experiment.
Although it is currently only in the experimental stage, Su Rui will certainly not waste time on cultivating useless humanoid weapons.
Originally, the navy on the world line used Vegapunk’s bloodline factor technology to cultivate the Seven Warlords’ clone Seraphim. If Su Rui wanted to do it, he must of course make a Seraphim that surpassed the Seven Warlords’ strength.
I saw in the newspaper some time ago that Kaido has become active. It’s time to recruit him!
The strength of the future Four Emperors is just right for experiments!
However, Su Rui really had no idea where Kaido was. After all, he had only seen him in the newspaper some time ago. If he wanted to find him in person, he would probably have to ask around.
Su Rui left Vegapunk’s cave and was thinking about how to find Kaido, and at this moment, Lingling came towards him.
“Brother! That guy from Newgate said he wants to drink with you tonight!”
Lingling is now in her twenties, and her figure has not collapsed like in the original world line. Instead, it has become well-proportioned, which really makes Su Rui breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the other person is his sister, and Su Rui certainly doesn’t want his sister to turn into a terrifying monster!
“Oh! I’ll go right away!”
Su Rui responded with a smile. In the Rocks Pirates, Su Rui and Whitebeard had the best relationship. When they had nothing to do, they liked to get together to drink and chat.
As soon as Su Rui set foot on Newgate’s territory, he heard his warm greeting.
“Hurry up! This is the fine wine my men just brought back from the East China Sea! If you come a little later, I will finish all the wine!”
Upon hearing this, Su Rui immediately walked forward quickly, picked up the huge wine glass on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
It s really a good wine!
Su Rui couldn’t help but admire, wiped his mouth, and sat down opposite Newgate. Just as he was about to continue tasting the wine, he found a newspaper on Newgate’s table, and the cover of the newspaper was Kaido, who had been in the limelight recently.
“Newgate, have you noticed this Kaido too?”
It s hard not to notice it!
Newgate took another gulp of wine and said,
“This guy is the most active newcomer in the past two years. Captain Rocks has also noticed him and told me to keep an eye on his movements and see if I can recruit him into our Rocks Pirates.”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Since Rocks also intends to win over Kaido, then if he makes Kaido a member of his family, it would be considered as joining the Rocks Pirate Group!
“So do you have the latest information on Kaido?”
Su Rui continued to ask questions, and Newgate was of course open to Su Rui and immediately pointed out an island on the map beside him.
“According to the report from my men, Kaido has been here recently.”
Su Rui immediately stated his intention upon seeing this.
“Why don’t you let me be the one to recruit this guy? I’ve been bored lately and I want to exercise my hands and feet.”
Newgate didn’t have any idea about this matter. Su Rui volunteered to help him, which helped him solve a problem.
“If you want to go, go ahead, but I have to remind you that Kaido is not an easy character to tame.”
Su Rui picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then said with a smile,
“Don’t worry, I will definitely bring the person back safely.”
The next morning, Su Rui set off directly to the island where Kaido was.
Su Rui, in the form of a pterosaur, was flying in the air. Looking at the devastated island, he couldn’t help but sigh at Kaido’s destructive power.
It really is a monster.
At this moment, Kaido was in the center of the island. The nearby streets were destroyed by him. He was holding an unconscious soldier in his hand and shouting arrogantly,
“What a bunch of losers! Not even one of them can fight! Trash!”
Su Rui put away his pterosaur form, landed directly on the ground, and cast his eyes towards Kaido.
“Then do you think I can fight?”
Kaido turned around immediately when he heard the voice, and when he saw Su Rui, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I know you.”
Kaido threw away the soldier in his hand and said,
“You are Su Rui from the Rocks Pirates!”
Su Rui was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he was so famous. He raised his eyebrows.
“Do you want to try it?”
Kaido is also a straightforward person. Seeing Su Rui’s provocative remarks, he directly punched Su Rui. However, Su Rui did not move at all. He just stretched out his palm to wrap Kaido’s fist, preventing him from moving forward.
Kaido was stunned. He didn’t expect that his all-strength attack could not shake the man in front of him at all. He hurriedly tried again, but there was still no change.
Su Rui smiled slightly and said,
Welcome to the new world.
Chapter 34: Upwelling Currents (Old Version)
Seeing that his moves could not defeat Su Rui, Kaido immediately changed his offensive. At this time, he did not have the power of the devil fruit, nor had he learned many useful skills. He just relied on his combat experience to launch simple and crude attacks.
Su Rui did not even fight back, but just dodged his attacks with ease. After more than ten rounds, Su Rui was unharmed, while Kaido was already exhausted and out of breath.
After all, Kaido is going to be used as an experimental material for the bloodline factor, and Su Rui is reluctant to hurt him, otherwise if it affects the experiment, it will be troublesome.
“Don’t waste your energy, kid.”
Su Rui said calmly, “I’ll give you a chance. Do you want to join my family? I will help you improve your abilities and become stronger step by step, and I will also give you the opportunity to challenge me at any time.”
Although Kaido was somewhat unwilling, it was obvious that he was no match for Su Rui as Su Rui had played him into this state without him even making a move.
It’s not impossible to stay with such a strong person and grow slowly!
Faced with an insurmountable gap in strength, Kaido finally chose to surrender.
“I would like to join your family.”
As Kaido spoke, the system’s prompt sounded in Su Rui’s mind.
“Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new family member [Kaido], and receiving the system reward: [Heroic Enhancement]”
Su Rui had already expected the success of this trip. He brought the newcomer Kaido back to the Beehive Island. Kaido’s strength was naturally recognized by Rocks.
“Not bad boy!”
Rocks exclaimed, “You have unlimited potential! From today on, you are a trainee of my Rocks Pirates! Since you were brought back by Su Rui, you will work under Su Rui!”
Su Rui certainly had no objection to this decision. In fact, if Rocks had not arranged it this way, he would have asked Kaido to come over as well.
“Brother, why are you drawing my blood?”
Kaido looked at Su Rui taking out a syringe-like object to draw his blood, and couldn’t help feeling a little puzzled.
“it works.”
Su Rui did not give too much explanation for this. After all, he had not even told Lingling about the bloodline factor research, let alone Kaido, the newcomer who had just joined.
If he hadn’t kept his mouth shut and spread the matter around, neither the World Government nor Rocks would have allowed Su Rui to continue his research on the bloodline factor.
“Don’t tell anyone else about this.”
Su Rui gave a reminder, but Kaido didn’t take it to heart. After all, drawing a tube of blood was not a big deal. He only cared about how to become stronger.
“Okay!”
Kaido responded, “I’m going to challenge Lingling now!”
Ever since Kaido came to his territory, he would challenge Lingling to competition with each other every day. Su Rui did not stop them. After all, actual combat was the best way to improve one’s abilities, and there was nothing wrong with them fighting each other.
With the extracted blood, Su Rui came to Vegapunk’s research cave and handed it to him.
“This is Kaido’s blood. It has been extracted according to your request. Is there anything else you can help me with in the research of bloodline factors?”
Vegapunk took the test tube excitedly and then made a request.
“Other materials are not needed for the time being, but we may still need some funds.”
Su Rui was stunned when he heard this. You know, all the spoils he got from participating in the pirate group’s operations over the years were basically spent on the research of bloodline factors. But now Vegapunk told him that he didn’t have enough money? !
You have to know that Vegapunk, as a research fanatic, definitely would not be a money-eater, so why is the research on bloodline factors so expensive?
Su Rui secretly sighed in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
“Don’t worry about the money issue. Give me a few days and I’ll figure it out.”
After getting the promise from Su Rui, Vegapunk didn’t say much and returned to his experimental cave to start doing experiments.
But when it comes to money, Su Rui really has a headache.
After all, all his income over the years has been used to support Vegapunk’s research, and he doesn’t have much savings at the moment. It is also not convenient for him to borrow money from others. If he were to ask about the use of the money, wouldn’t everything be exposed?
After thinking for a long time, Su Rui finally thought of a good way to make money.
That is the golden city of Sky Island!
The Golden Country is the original Gaya Island. Half of the land was washed into the air by the upwelling current and became the current Sky Island. And on that half of the land, there is a glorious city called Shandora. Shandora has countless treasures, so it is called the Golden Country by later generations. And this Golden Country is the source of Su Rui’s future wealth.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the research on bloodline factors, Su Rui left without hesitation. Also for the sake of confidentiality, he was still alone in this operation.
After crossing the Red Earth Continent through Fishman Island, he finally arrived at the first half of the Grand Line. Following the guidance of the compass, Su Rui arrived at the Magic Valley Town on Gaya Island.
“Young man! Don’t dock your boat near that!”
A villager on the island saw Su Rui driving a small boat in the nearby sea and hurriedly called out to him,
“There will be an upwelling current soon, which will wash you and the ship apart!”
Su Rui was delighted when he heard this. He had just wanted to inquire about the pattern of the rise and ocean currents, but he didn’t expect that he would come across this opportunity?
“Don’t worry, old man.”
Su Rui smiled and said, “This is the rising current I’m waiting for.”
The villagers listened to Su Rui’s answer, shook their heads and sighed, and stopped trying to dissuade him.
“Another fellow who was deceived by the legend of the Golden Country…”
Su Rui did not comment on his words, because he knew better than anyone that the golden incense was not a legend at all, but a real thing.
At this moment, the originally clear and cloudless weather suddenly became overcast, the calm sea surface began to churn, and the waves kept hitting the side of the ship. Su Rui knew in his heart that an upwelling current was coming!
Closing his eyes, Su Rui began to use his observation Haki to feel the fluctuations of the surrounding ocean currents, looking for the most suitable position. Just as the storm on the sea intensified, Su Rui quickly steered the rudder and arrived at the center of the sea.
“boom!”
With a sudden loud bang, a huge column of water suddenly surged up from under the ship driven by Su Rui, throwing his ship high into the air. Su Rui also seized the opportunity and controlled the ship to climb upwards along the rising current.
Chapter 35 Seraph! (Old version)
It has to be said that the rising current was indeed fierce enough. Su Rui used all his strength to control the rudder to prevent the ship from getting out of control and to keep climbing steadily.
Just after being baptized by strong winds and huge waves for several minutes, Su Rui’s ship rushed up to the clouds under the influence of the Shanghai current and landed steadily on the clouds.
Seeing that the surroundings had finally calmed down, Su Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the unique scenery surrounded by white clouds, he couldn’t help but feel a little novel.
It s really different seeing it with your own eyes!
But now is not the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The small boat that Su Rui was driving just now was originally a temporary one for him. It was tossed around by the rising current and became tattered. However, Su Rui did not plan to rely on this thing to return home. He left the boat here and quickly headed towards the Golden Country.
Just as Su Rui stepped onto the ruins of Xiangdora, a cannonball was fired directly at him.
Su Rui dodged the attack by turning sideways, and looked in the direction he was looking. He saw a man with two short wings on his back, carrying a cannon and staring at him fiercely.
These should be the original inhabitants of Shandora, the Shandia people.
“Again from the White Sea.”
The Shandian spat, his eyes full of contempt;
“Dreaming of stealing Shandora’s treasure? You’d better give up your life here first!”
After saying this, the Shandia man prepared to fire another artillery shell. Seeing this, Su Rui sighed.
So, he had no ill will towards the natives here, but his purpose of coming to Sky Island today was to take away some treasures. However, since it was the Shandian people who took the initiative to attack him, don’t blame Su Rui for being rude!
The shell was still in the barrel and had not yet been fired when the Sandian man was hit hard in the abdomen. The pain made him spit out a mouthful of acid. Then he was hit hard in the face. The Sandian man fainted and fell to the ground instantly.
“I’m sorry.”
Su Rui said lightly.
In order not to cause more commotion, Su Rui chose the simplest and most brutal method to deal with the guy in front of him. He came here today not to fight with these people, but to take away the gold as soon as possible to support his research on bloodline factors.
Su Rui was much more cautious in his subsequent actions. He used his Observation Haki to grasp the movements of the Shandians patrolling nearby. After avoiding them, he headed straight for the center of Shandora.
Although he had long known that this was the veritable golden city, Su Rui still found it a little hard to believe after seeing with his own eyes the city of Xiangdora where even objects like the clock tower were made of gold.
This made Su Rui begin to regret why he didn’t bring more people with him, because he alone couldn’t take away all the gold here!
Su Rui sighed, feeling regretful as he quickly drew his sword, swung the sword to cut off the huge amount of gold here, found some vines nearby to tie up the gold, and after collecting the maximum amount of gold he could take away, Su Rui finally stopped reluctantly.
Next time I must bring more people so that I can take away more treasures!
However, relying on what he has collected so far, supporting Vegapunk’s bloodline factor research is no longer a problem.
As for the return method, it is even simpler.
The boat that Su Rui used to come up had been destroyed by the rising current, and if he wanted to return with so much gold, it would be a bit too conspicuous, so Su Rui’s choice was…
He transformed into a pterosaur and used his dragon claws to grab the vines and bring the gold back to his territory!
However, carrying such heavy objects, Su Rui’s flying speed was reduced a lot. After resting several times, on the third day, Su Rui finally brought the gold back to his territory from the sky island in the first half of the Grand Line.
Su Rui landed on the island under the cover of night, and it was Lydia who discovered him while she was on patrol.
“Where did you find so much gold?!”
Lydia was a little stunned when she saw the pile of gold in front of her. Su Rui certainly didn’t intend to explain to her.
“You don’t need to ask. Go and exchange the gold for currency, and then purchase the materials according to the list I gave you before. After you buy them, just send them directly to the location I told you before.”
Lydia nodded when she heard this and stopped asking about the source of the gold.
About half a month later, Su Rui’s Den Den Mushi was called by Vegapunk.
“What’s the matter? Are you short of money for research again?”
Su Rui asked, and what answered him was the excited voice of Vegapunk,
“The preliminary test of the bloodline factor has been completed! Kaido’s clone Seraph Unit 1 has been created!”
Su Rui was instantly delighted when he heard this, and immediately said,
“Okay! I’ll bring Kaido here now!”
Then Su Rui immediately found Kaido and took him to the back of the island.
“Brother, why are you disturbing me?”
Kaido was slightly dissatisfied, “The competition between Lingling and I is not yet complete!”
Su Rui smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I found you a more interesting opponent than Lingling.”
“real?”
Kaido immediately became interested when he heard this, “Then I’m going to try and see who’s stronger, the new opponent or Linlin!”
After Vegapunk finished his call with Su Rui, he was already waiting outside with the Seraph No. 1 that he had developed.
Before Kaido had time to wonder why a stranger suddenly came in the morning, he noticed the Seraph Unit 1 that looked almost exactly like him.
Except for the white hair and black skin, he looks exactly like him! ?
And there are black wings and burning flames behind it? What the hell is this?!
Kaido was a little dumbfounded and pointed at Unit 1.
“Brother…what is this?”
“This is the opponent I found for you. You can call him Unit 1.”
Su Rui smiled, and Vegapunk also stepped forward to explain.
“I have placed an authority chip in Seraph’s body, which determines the order of authority for control. The first is you, the second is me, and the third is the holder of the authority chip. You decide who will hold it.”
Su Rui was very satisfied with Vegapunk’s arrangement, so the next step was to see the combat effectiveness of this Seraph.
“Kaido, do you have the confidence to defeat this Unit 1?”
“have!”
Kaido answered without hesitation, Su Rui smiled.
“Then prove it to me.”
After saying this, Su Rui immediately gave an order to Seraph Unit 1.
“Unit 1, attack Kaido!”
Chapter 36 His Secret? (Old Version)
The moment Seraph Unit 1 received Su Rui’s order, it immediately took action and rushed directly towards Kaido himself.
Kaido didn’t even have time to react for a moment, and hurriedly took out his mace to block. The huge impact force made him retreat more than ten meters, and deep grooves were created on the ground under his feet.
“So strong?”
Su Rui was secretly amazed and immediately began to observe this exciting battle carefully.
When Kaido finished the first wave of attacks, he realized that the Seraphim in front of him, who looked almost exactly like him, was a very interesting opponent, and Kaido immediately became excited.
This is much more interesting than fighting with Lingling!
Fun!
Kaido grinned, “Seraph Unit 1, right? No matter who you are, even though you have the same face as mine, I still want to let you know who the real one is!”
After saying this, Kaido also jumped up, swung the mace in his hand and smashed it hard at Seraph Unit-1. At the same time, a mace exactly the same as the one in Kaido’s hand appeared out of thin air in Unit-1’s hand, blocking Kaido’s attack.
“Even the weapons have been reproduced one-to-one?”
Su Rui was a little surprised, and Vegapunk explained briefly.
“The clone’s attacks and abilities are all imitations of the original, so the fighting style is naturally the same. Kaido’s fighting style is to use a mace, so I also made a mace of similar material for him to use.”
Su Rui nodded in understanding. Now he was even more looking forward to the outcome of this competition!
At the beginning, Kaido was full of momentum and had a slight advantage, but after more than a dozen rounds, Kaido did not gain any benefit at all.
After all, Unit 1 is his clone and is well aware of his attacking moves, so it is natural for it to defend against all of his moves. Although Unit 1 did not cause any harm to Kaido, there is still a difference between machines and humans.
That’s physical strength.
After more than ten minutes, Kaido was already showing signs of exhaustion and was visibly breathing heavily, while the state of Unit 1 had not changed at all and it still looked energetic.
This is the benefit of cloning!
No
Kaido knew that he couldn’t win if he continued like this, so he called a halt.
“Doesn’t this thing know how to get tired? I need to rest for a while, otherwise I won’t be able to continue.”
Seeing Kaido’s statement, Su Rui would of course not continue to torture him. After all, he already understood the performance of Seraph Unit 1, so there was no need to continue testing it.
“Unit 1, stop.”
Su Rui gave the order to stop Unit 1’s actions, but for some reason, Unit 1 did not react at all and was even accumulating strength to launch the next wave of attacks towards Kaido.
Vegapunk also realized that something was wrong and shouted to Unit 1,
“Unit 1! Halt all actions!”
But Unit 1 acted as if it didn’t hear anything and swung its mace at Kaido.
Su Rui’s face darkened as he watched this scene. It was indeed impossible for this first batch of test products to be perfect.
“Brother, help me!”
Kaido was already a little tired. He barely dodged the attack of Unit 1 and asked Su Rui for help. Su Rui acted decisively and drew his sword and stabbed Unit 1’s heart. After a few brief twitches, Unit 1 finally stopped working.
Vegapunk felt heartbroken when he saw the test product he had created being destroyed by Su Rui’s sword, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who caused Unit 1 to lose control?
I will continue to improve!
Vegapunk was a little annoyed, “I didn’t expect that I would have such a serious problem of losing control!”
Su Rui did not have such high requirements. After all, it was just the first batch of products. It was normal to have problems. What’s more, the combat capability of Unit 1 was very good. It was just a small problem of control.
“It’s okay. If there are any problems, we can improve them slowly.”
Su Rui said, Vegapunk carefully examined the crack on Unit 1’s chest and sighed.
“But if we want to improve this aspect, I’m afraid it will take some time, and I can’t give a specific number for how long it will take.”
Hearing this, Su Rui waved his hand.
“Don’t worry, just study it slowly.”
Su Rui estimated that there were still about two years until the famous Battle of God Valley. Two years was enough time for Vegapunk to perfect the Seraph, as long as his family had enough strong people before that.
Just when Su Rui was making careful preparations for the upcoming battle, a rare guest came to his territory.
“Isn’t this Captain John?”
Su Rui was also quite surprised. You know, he and this kid John had no dealings at all. It would be better to say that Captain John had been at odds with him ever since he, Su Rui, joined the Rocks Pirates.
“I came to see you today for something serious.”
Captain John was too lazy to be serious and also went straight to the point.
“My purpose in looking for you is also very simple, that is, I hope that the two of us can reach a cooperation.”
“cooperate?”
Su Rui wanted to laugh. He was currently ranked third in the Rocks Pirates, while Captain John was not a big deal at all. What qualifications did he have to discuss cooperation with him?
Yes, it s cooperation.
Captain John continued to speak shamelessly, “It’s actually very simple. It requires us to share resources and responsibilities. I will do my best to help you when you need help, and I need you to show the same attitude when I need help.”
Su Rui smiled contemptuously and did not answer him at all, but this smile seemed to irritate Captain John a little.
“You’d better not look down on me.”
Captain John’s tone suddenly turned cold.
“Su Rui, I’ll tell you the truth. The reason I came here to discuss cooperation with you today is because I know a secret of yours. You’d better listen to my arrangements. Otherwise, if your secret is exposed, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
When Su Rui heard this, the expression on his face turned cold and he looked at Captain John with a cold look.
Does this kid know his secret?
Could it be that Vegapunk’s existence has been leaked?
“Oh? What secret of mine do you know?”
Seeing Su Rui’s attitude change 180 degrees, Captain John thought his threat had worked and smiled triumphantly.
“What’s the secret? You know it in your heart. You just need to agree to my cooperation request, and I will ensure that your affairs will not be…”
Before Captain John could finish his words, he groaned and looked down. He found that Su Rui’s sword had pierced his heart without him noticing.
Chapter 37: Killing the Celestial Dragons (Old Version)
“What I hate most in my life is someone threatening me.”
Su Rui said coldly, pulling out the sword that had pierced his chest.
“No matter what secret you know of mine, there is absolutely no chance that you will reveal it.”
Captain John pointed at Su Rui in shock. He never expected that Su Rui would actually attack him. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, he fell to the ground and died.
After all, Su Rui had already taken action, so he certainly had no intention of letting him continue to live.
However, Captain John was a cadre in the Rocks Pirates after all, so it was impossible to conceal the fact that Su Rui had killed him. Su Rui did not intend to conceal it and directly ordered someone to return Captain John’s body.
As the captain, Lockes soon received the news that Su Rui had killed Captain John. Although he was shocked at first, he soon calmed down.
“Captain? Aren’t you going to deal with this kid Su Rui?”
The relationship between Golden Lion Shiki and Su Rui is not good, so of course he will not side with him at this juncture.
“Although our group doesn’t have so many requirements, killing your own companions is a bit unreasonable, right?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, they received an immediate response from a large number of people, most of whom were Captain John’s former subordinates.
“John died in Su Rui’s territory.”
Rocks was clear about this point. John was already dead, and Su Rui was so powerful. There was no need for him to offend a potential member for the sake of a useless crew member.
“It’s obvious that this incident was caused by John’s provocation. Su Rui has been in our Knox Pirates for so many years, and you should know his temper. Unless you take the initiative to provoke him, he will not bother to pay attention to the rest of you. So, it is very likely that John asked for this.”
Finally, Locke concluded that
“Let’s just forget about this matter. Don’t mention it again.”
These words made the crew members who were denouncing Captain John quite dissatisfied, but they also knew that the truth of the matter should be almost the same as what Rocks said, so they could not refute anything and could only swallow their anger and let it go.
The fact that Su Rui killed Captain John on the same ship was also reported, causing everyone to speculate what had happened in the Rocks Pirates that led to such an internal conflict.
Soon the matter was settled under Rocks’ control, and a new task was assigned to Su Rui.
“In two days, a country will pay Celestial Gold and several Devil Fruits as tribute to the Celestial Dragons in order to become a member of the World Government.”
Rocks said, “Our mission this time is to snatch these things. The other side has a lot of people, so you have to participate too.”
“yes.”
Su Rui nodded and gladly accepted it. After all, the task was not that difficult. They had done similar things countless times over the years and had become very proficient at it.
Seeing Su Rui so obedient, it was not surprising that Rocks agreed. He originally planned to ask Su Rui about Captain John, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to say more.
“I killed Captain John.”
Su Rui guessed what Rocks was thinking, “He came to my territory to challenge me, and I killed him by mistake.”
What Su Rui said was not true, but he still had to give a more reasonable explanation, after all, the other party was his captain.
“Don’t worry about it.”
Rocks had no intention of pursuing the matter and waved his hand.
“Since he took the initiative to challenge me, he must bear the consequences of failure. This is not your fault, so you don’t need to talk about it again.”
Su Rui was a little surprised at Rocks’ attitude. He didn’t expect that he would be so biased towards him.
But this is of course the best.
Two days later.
Several warships were sailing in a certain sea area, and a beautiful melody was playing on the warship in the center. In contrast, slaves with seastone shackles on their necks were crawling on the ground. All of this was for the entertainment of the celestial dragon lying on the recliner.
“Climb faster! Climb faster!”
The Celestial Dragons kept waving the whips in their hands, lashing the thinly clothed slaves fiercely. Deep blood marks immediately appeared on the slaves’ skin, but even so, the slaves did not dare to scream.
“Hey, then which slave should we feed these devil fruits on the ship to?!”
Just as the Tianlong people were thinking about how to continue torturing them, a marine ran over here in a panic.
“Report to the Lord! Traces of the Rocks Pirates appeared in front of the left!”
“Rocks Pirates?”
The people of Tianjin clearly did not take the Rocks Pirates seriously, their faces were full of disdain.
“What a bunch of rubbish! Can a cheap pirate group scare you like this? Since they’re here, why don’t you just kill them?! Why are you panicking?!”
The marine who was scolded by the Celestial Dragon wanted to explain the brutality of the Rocks Pirates, but when he saw the gun in the Celestial Dragon’s hand, he didn’t dare to speak anymore. He just responded and turned around and ran away.
Shoot! Shoot!
Seeing the Rocks Pirates’ ships getting closer, the marines could only rush to stop the counterattack. But how could an attack of this level alone stop the famous Rocks Pirates?
In almost an instant, before even the marines outside could see clearly, Su Rui spread his wings and instantly broke through the encirclement, heading straight for the Celestial Dragons in the center.
The Celestial Dragon who had been so arrogant just now had his neck strangled by Su Rui. At the same time, several devil fruits that the Celestial Dragon was planning to use for fun were also directly taken into Su Rui’s pocket.
At the same time, Su Rui’s iron-like hands made the Tianlong people feel a little breathless.
“You lowly commoner!”
The Tianlong man’s face turned red because he couldn’t breathe, but even in this situation, he still couldn’t figure out the current situation and didn’t forget to insult Su Rui.
“Hurry up and let me go! If you don’t, I will order someone to kill your entire family! All the untouchables in your family will die miserably…”
Before the Tianlong man could finish his shouting, Su Rui broke his neck, and the marines surrounding him screamed in shock.
“He…he killed Master Celestial Dragon!”
Compared to these shocked marines, Su Rui’s reaction was much calmer. He just sneered and said,
“What’s the name? It’s not the first time I’ve killed a celestial dragon.”
Chapter 38 Roger is here too (old version)
The death of the Celestial Dragons, who were the key protected targets, threw the Navy into chaos. The pirates of the Rocks Pirates began to carry their spoils, the Tenjo Gold, and began to cheer for victory.
Seeing that the situation had become one-sided, the Marines had no choice but to ask for help from the Navy Headquarters.
Report! Report!
The wounded marine tried his best to report to Den Den Mushi.
“The warship protecting the Celestial Dragons is under attack! Requesting support! Requesting support!”
The Navy Headquarters on the other side of Den Den Mushi also responded immediately.
“Please hold on! Vice Admiral Garp is on the way to rescue!”
As soon as these words came out of the Den Den Mushi, it was crushed to pieces by someone.
The shocked marine looked up and saw that the owner of the foot was actually the famous Rocks? !
“You…you damned pirates! Vice Admiral Garp is on his way, just wait for death!”
The Marine trembled as he uttered these harsh words, and upon hearing them, Rocks smiled with extreme contempt.
“Garp? What is Garp? Even if he comes, what can he change?!”
After saying this, Rocks’ hands suddenly released black mist, which directly engulfed the marine, leaving only his painful cries. After a moment, the black mist dissipated, leaving only a purple corpse.
At this moment, a pirate under Rocks came to report and pointed to the left and said,
“Captain! There’s a pirate ship coming over there! Judging from the flag, it seems to be from the Roger Pirates!”
“Roger!?”
Rocks was very interested. Although there were many large and small pirate groups that emerged in this sea over the years, apart from their Rocks Pirate Group, the most famous one was the Roger Pirate Group.
And today, he is clearly the target of the Rocks Pirates. Could it be that Roger also wants to come and get a piece of the pie?
Rocks is not such a generous person.
“What are you panicking about?”
Rocks scolded his men beside him, “Even if Roger comes, what can he do? Can he really beat our Rocks Pirates?”
“He is so picky about the day. If he dares to come and stop our operation, I will never let him go!”
Su Rui on the side also noticed the approach of Roger’s pirate group. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that during the battle of God Valley in the original world line, Roger said that there was a score that had not been settled with Rocks a year or two ago. Could he be referring to this time?
Su Rui raised his eyebrows. He began to look forward to what would happen.
“Locks!”
Roger’s ship approached rapidly, colliding heavily with the warship where Rocks and his crew were, then flew up from their deck and went directly to the warship to confront Rocks and his crew.
Also on board the warship with Roger were the deputy captain Rayleigh, Jabba and others. Looking at the young faces of these future celebrities, Su Rui couldn’t help but feel a little fresh and eager to try. He wanted to know the gap in strength between himself and these people.
“Isn’t this Roger?”
Rocks laughed and said,
“What? Have you thought about the matter of making you my subordinate that I discussed with you some time ago? Even if you want to join my Rocksea Group, there is no need to be so anxious, right?”
Rocks’s naked provocation made Roger even more angry, and he shouted at Rocks,
“What the hell are you talking about?! You killed my men some time ago, you haven’t forgotten about it, have you?!”
“Killed your men?”
Rocks scratched his ears nonchalantly and said with a smile,
“I’m really sorry. After all, I have killed too many nameless people. You said I killed your men? I really can’t remember. Maybe I did kill them, but I can’t remember.”
Rocks’ arrogant attitude made Roger furious.
You have to know that Roger is a man who values ??friendship very much. For the sake of his partners, he is even willing to do such brutal things as destroying a country. Rocks’ contempt for his partner’s life undoubtedly hit Roger’s sore spot.
Locks !
Looking at Roger’s clenched fist, Rocks’ provocation became more blatant.
“Roger, you don’t want to make an enemy of me just to make a few minions whose names you can’t even pronounce, do you? You have to know that in this ocean, strength is everything. If I kill them, it proves that they are not strong enough, so it is only natural that they are eliminated.”
Rocks continued,
“So it’s a good thing to value friendship, but in this world where the strong prey on the weak, it’s not good for you to care too much about those illusory things. I advise you to face the reality and join my pirate group!”
Su Rui looked at Roger’s increasingly ugly expression and became a little excited. A big battle was a foregone conclusion!
At this moment, several warships suddenly appeared not far away. Su Rui narrowed his eyes and looked carefully in that direction. It turned out to be Garp who had arrived.
How could Karp move so fast?
“Captain, Garp is here too.”
Su Rui reported this to Rocks, who in turn became even more excited.
“You’re here, good job!”
Rocks laughed, “It seems all good things come in one day!”
Roger’s patience was quite limited. He was indeed fed up with Rocks’ arrogant attitude. He gathered strength with his feet and rushed straight towards Rocks.
Roger simply drew out the sword “Ace” from his waist, swung the sword at high speed and made a slash filled with domineering aura, heading directly towards Rocks.
Rocks had been on guard against Roger’s attack for a long time. A large amount of black smoke suddenly came out of his hands, directly swallowing up Roger’s attack.
Seeing that he had lost the first battle, Roger couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, and immediately started the second wave of offensive. Jabba Rayleigh, who was standing next to him, saw his captain taking action, and was also not idle. He followed Roger and rushed towards Rocks, but was stopped by Whitebeard Newgate and Golden Lion Ski respectively.
The golden lion Shiki looked at Jabba with disdain.
“With your kind of people, I’m afraid you are not qualified to fight our captain, right?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hatred between the two sides, who were already at loggerheads with each other, increased even more, and they immediately began their own showdowns.
Su Rui stood aside and scratched his head. These three teams were playing 1v1, so why did it feel like he couldn’t join in the fun?
Chapter 39: Contest of Conqueror Haki (Old Version)
Just when Su Rui was still worrying about having no opponent to fight against, a few sudden artillery fire interrupted his thoughts.
The warship that Garp was on, which was a little far away just now, also approached this side and was attacking the warship here with fierce artillery fire.
Only when Garp walked in did he see the situation clearly. According to the original intelligence, he thought that only the people from the Rocks Pirates were here, but he didn’t expect that Roger was also here?
And looking at the current situation, people from Roger and Rocks are still fighting?
Garp is not a man who has the patience to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight. He didn’t care about anything and just flew into the air to join the battlefield. However, when he was still in mid-air, he was stopped by a familiar person.
And this person was none other than Karp’s old acquaintance, Su Rui.
When Garp saw Su Rui’s familiar face, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had not forgotten that Su Rui had snatched away his partner Crane. Not only did it cause Crane to go from being a famous vice admiral of the navy to a wanted criminal of the World Government, but it also caused his comrade-in-arms Sengoku to suffer serious injuries.
Adding all these new and old grudges together, Karp really has a big account to settle with Su Rui!
“Su Rui! You still have the nerve to stop me?!”
Garp was furious, “Give Xiaohe back to me!”
“Excuse me.”
Su Rui said calmly, “It was your world government that turned He into a wanted criminal. If I return her to you, wouldn’t I have to send her to the underwater prison?”
“Besides, Crane has already joined my family voluntarily. How can I return my family members to your navy?”
Such words completely angered Garp. Garp was not good at verbal confrontation, so he simply covered his iron fist with armed color domineering and punched towards Su Rui directly.
Su Rui was also a little excited when watching this scene. It happened that he had relied too much on the devil fruit recently. He hadn’t tried such a simple physical competition for a long time. He might as well take advantage of today to have a good time!
Su Rui also covered his fists with Armament Haki and collided with the fists of Garp and the other man.
This is not just a comparison of the strength of both sides. In addition to the armament domineering, it is more of a contest of domineering domineering.
Two powerful pressures were released from between Garp and Su Rui. The ordinary marines and pirates who were fighting felt the two powerful auras. Many of them who were not well-trained felt dizzy and fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.
And this is not over yet. The domineering aura of the two continued to spread outward, and even a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the nearby sea surface. A moment later, several huge sea kings also floated to the surface of the sea with their eyes rolled up.
Roger and Rocks were also extremely sensitive to the domineering aura of the two people next to them. The intensity of this domineering aura shocked Roger a little.
“Locks, this guy under your command has become so strong?”
Rocks sneered.
“Roger, if you have time to care about my men, you might as well spend more time thinking about how you are going to escape from me today!”
It was at this moment that Roger noticed that his feet had been covered by Rocks’ black area at some point. The strong feeling of swamp made Roger curse in his heart, while he tried his best to escape from Rocks’ ability.
The domineering Haki competition between Garp and Su Rui finally came to an end. Compared with Su Rui’s ease, Garp always seemed a little overwhelmed.
“Su Rui, you’re much stronger than the last time we met!”
Su Rui did not answer Garp’s words, but directly drew out the sword at his waist and launched a flaming slash. Garp thought to himself that this was not an attack that could be resisted by relying solely on the Armament Haki. He could only quickly dodge sideways and thus avoided it.
The rapid improvement of Su Rui’s strength made Garp a little shocked. You know, Su Rui’s ability is not the best in the Rocks Pirates, but now he can’t even crush Su Rui alone, then how should he deal with the entire Rocks Pirates?
When he thought of this, Garp couldn’t help but become anxious. However, in this situation, an unstable mentality would only bring more flaws. Su Rui became impatient as he watched Garp’s movements, and immediately seized the opportunity to stab Garp in the shoulder with a sword.
The flaming attack was extremely hot. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, and the pain from the flames increased a bit. Even though Garp wanted to hold back from screaming, he still couldn’t control his most primitive instinct.
“You lose.”
Su Rui looked down at Karp, whose face was in pain. Although he now had the opportunity to directly kill his future opponent here, perhaps because of the mutual respect they had for each other over the years, Su Rui still couldn’t do it, and finally put the sword back into the scabbard.
“Why don’t you kill me?!”
Garp seemed to feel a little humiliated, but Su Ruike did not intend to explain anything. Instead, he turned his eyes to the battlefield in the center of the deck.
It was obvious that the three members of Roger’s pirate group had fallen into a disadvantage. Rocks had already controlled Roger, while Whitebeard Newgate and Golden Lion Shiki were also defeating Rayleigh and Jabba.
As expected, they are the invincible Rocks Pirates. As expected, there is no need for Su Rui to take action personally.
Rayleigh struggled to resist Whitebeard’s attack, and at the same time shouted to Roger,
“Hurry up and order a retreat! Our brothers can no longer hold on!”
Roger himself certainly knew that the current situation was not optimistic, but he was born with the character that would not run away from the battlefield. Even if he had fallen into a shortcut, he was unwilling to retreat easily.
No!
Roger gritted his teeth and refused, “I must decide the outcome with him here today!”
Rayleigh was not surprised at Roger’s answer. After all, he had known Roger’s character for many years. He sighed silently in his heart, seized the opportunity to avoid Newgate’s attack, rushed directly towards Roger, and hit him hard on the waist.
Roger felt a sudden pain in his back and half-knelt on the ground. Rayleigh took this opportunity to carry him on his shoulders and shouted to Jabba,
“Jabba! Retreat!”
Seeing this, Jabba immediately followed suit, and everyone watching Rayleigh’s smooth operation knew that this was not the first time.
Chapter 40: Valley of the Gods? (Old version)
“Captain, do you still want to catch up?”
It was obvious that the Golden Lion Shiki was still a little unsatisfied. Rocks waved his hand as he watched Roger and the others fleeing.
“The Roger Pirates are nothing special. There’s no need to waste time on them. Besides, we’ve already stayed here long enough. If we don’t leave, once the World Government sends more Yuan Bin, we won’t be able to retreat easily.”
Although the people sent by the World Government are not a threat to Rocks and his people, they have many ordinary pirates under their command and cannot escape as easily as they do.
If these most basic combat forces are greatly reduced, it will have a considerable negative impact on the morale within the pirate group.
At this moment, a group of pirates were extremely excited and reported to Rocks with a lot of jewels.
“Captain! This is the treasure we just found from Roger’s pirate ship! Now it’s all ours!”
Seeing this, Rocks laughed again.
“Well done, guys! Roger has suffered a huge loss this time!”
Garp felt even more unwilling to accept the defeat even of Roger’s pirate group. However, he was now seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to continue fighting with the Rocks Pirate Group.
“Vice Admiral Garp! Let’s evacuate as well!”
The marines nearby quickly helped Garp up from the ground and evacuated towards their warship.
Karp was unwilling to give in and yelled at Su Rui,
“Su Rui! I will never let you go next time!”
Su Rui smiled faintly when he heard this.
“I’m always at your service.”
After defeating the Roger Pirates and Garp in succession, the Rocks Pirates’ operation this time can be said to have won a complete victory. Su Rui also exercised his body a little this time. Although the spoils were not much, Su Rui still got the devil fruits he wanted.
Since he doesn’t have a devil fruit encyclopedia on hand yet, Su Rui can only put this thing aside for the time being.
After this incident, Su Rui’s net worth soared to a bounty of 2 billion berries. Similarly, the Roger Pirate Group was also deeply impressed by Su Rui.
“Su Rui in the Rocks Pirates is really not simple.”
Roger accepted the bandage from the ship doctor with a serious expression, because he himself was also the owner of the Conqueror’s Haki, so his perception of Haki was more acute. Recalling the intensity of the Haki he had felt, he dared to conclude that Su Rui’s future would definitely not just be limited to being Yu Rocks’s subordinate.
“And he actually beat Garp directly.”
Rayleigh also expressed his opinion.
“You know, Garp and you, the captain, have fought many times but the winner has never been decided. But Su Rui defeated Garp so easily. It’s really too scary!”
Roger’s face was not looking good. After all, there was such a powerful person standing in his enemy camp, and no one could laugh.
At this moment, Su Rui didn’t know that he had such a high reputation in the Roger Pirate Group, but he was not as happy as he imagined about the soaring bounty on his body.
After all, he is no longer at the age where he would be excited about the amount of the bounty. Rather, what he wants to do now is to hide his edge.
After all, his momentum is now almost overshadowing Rocks himself. Being more powerful than your boss is never a good thing no matter where you are. If Rocks notices his ambitions early on, it is hard to say whether Rocks will take any action to suppress him.
Therefore, Su Rui decided that he would not reveal his ambitions before the most important battle in the Valley of Gods.
After that, Su Rui was silent for about a year. During this year, he declined any action that he could turn down. Until one day, Su Rui received such news.
“The Celestial Dragons are about to hold a hunt in the Valley of the Gods?”
Su Rui was somewhat shocked when he heard the news, and Flame Flower looked puzzled when she saw Su Rui’s abnormal reaction.
“Yes, I heard the news.”
Flame Flower said, “Captain Rocks should have asked us to start preparing for the expedition in the next two days. Since you haven’t participated in the collective action of the pirate group for a long time, we didn’t notify you.”
“By the way, I heard that the Celestial Dragons used two devil fruits as trophies in their hunting competition this time. One is the parahuman meat ball fruit, and the other is what… the blue dragon fruit?”
Su Rui became more and more excited when he heard this. You know, this Meatball Fruit is the fruit that Bartholomew Bear possessed in the original world line. It can be said to be a bug-level ability. Not to mention the Blue Dragon Fruit, that is the fruit that Kaido originally possessed!
Even if it’s just for these two fruits, Su Rui will go!
“I want to participate in this operation.”
Su Rui immediately said,
“I’ll definitely take these two devil fruits!”
Soon, all the members of the Rocks Pirates were quickly assembled. There was no way Rocks would miss such a big event.
“Young ones! You should have received the news recently!”
Rocks stood at the front and spoke to all the members of the Rocks Pirates.
“The Celestial Dragons are preparing to hold their damn indigenous massacre competition in the Valley of the Gods in the West Sea. For this kind of thing, they even took out two precious devil fruits as trophies. Do you think the Rocks Pirates can tolerate this kind of thing!?”
This statement was immediately echoed by the people below, who began to curse the Tianlong people.
“Damn you Celestial Dragons! They actually enjoy killing people!”
“This is too much! We in the Rocks Pirates will never tolerate this kind of thing happening!”
Su Rui stood there and watched the reactions of the people around him, and couldn’t help but feel a little ironic.
They are obviously pirates, but they seem to be more righteous than the navy who help the evil. This world is really too twisted.
Seeing his subordinates’ positive response, Rocks was full of confidence and shouted,
“Okay! From now on! I declare! This entire world belongs to our Rocks Pirates! And our action this time is to defend our own territory!”
There was another round of deafening cheers, and the momentum of the Rocks Pirates reached its peak. Everyone boarded the pirate ship and quickly headed towards their destination, the Valley of the Gods.
Su Rui felt the strong sea breeze and felt a hint of anticipation in his heart.
The Valley of Gods, which we have waited for so long, is finally here!
Chapter 41: First Place in the Hunting Competition (Old Version)
West Sea.
Valley of the Gods.
“Congratulations, Lord Jialin! You have already earned 10,000 points! You will soon win first place in this hunting competition!”
The host of the hunting competition was excitedly reporting the battle situation, which also pushed the atmosphere of the entire island to its peak.
No matter whether they were the celestial dragons watching or those participating in the hunting competition, they were all extremely excited at this moment, cheering for the victorious Garin Saint, completely unaware of the impending danger.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the port. The warships surrounding the Valley of God were directly washed ashore, and the marines on the warships all fainted.
Of course, this must be the work of the Rocks Pirates!
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Golden Lion Shiki was a little unhappy that Newgate had made such a big fuss.
“Newgate! You can’t be the only one to steal all the limelight! Why are you making such a big fuss as soon as you get here?! It’s as if I have no strength!”
Newgate didn’t care about the dissatisfaction of the Golden Lion Shiki, but instead struck the void with his elbow again. A sound like glass breaking was heard, causing the warship nearby that was preparing to launch an attack to be shattered into pieces.
Golden Lion Shiki watched Whitebeard Newgate fighting intently, and after cursing under his breath, he didn’t want to fall into a disadvantage, so he quickly began to use the ability of his Float-Float Fruit, sending the warships flying into the air and colliding violently with each other.
After all, this is a rare large-scale operation, and the people in the Rocks Pirates want to gain some benefits from this operation. Of course, they cannot fall into a disadvantage like this, so they all use their fists and feet to show themselves.
Su Rui seemed much calmer. After all, the most important goal of his trip was the two devil fruits as trophies. He didn’t care about anything else.
At the same time, two waves of powerful warriors also landed in the Valley of Gods.
One wave is the navy led by Garp, who serves as the escort force of the Celestial Dragons, and the other wave is the Roger Pirates who also received the news and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Both groups suffered a lot at the hands of the Rocks Pirates in the last confrontation. After more than a year, they finally recovered from their injuries. At the same time, they kept a low profile and silently vowed to take revenge on the Rocks Pirates in this action!
After Su Rui landed in the Valley of Gods, he took Lingling directly to the center of the city, because all the devil fruits that were taken as trophies were placed there. However, since there were many Celestial Dragons on the island who wanted to get close to the center, it was certainly not that easy.
As soon as the members of the Rocks Pirates entered the Valley of God, they started to burn, kill and loot crazily, fighting against the civilians and slaves of the Celestial Dragons on the island, and frantically snatching their few treasures. They were also slowly invading the central area.
The news that pirates had invaded the island soon reached the ears of the Celestial Dragons.
“Master Celestial Dragon, the Rocks Pirates have invaded the island and are heading towards us now.”
A member of the Knights of God reported the current situation to the Celestial Dragons, and when the Celestial Dragons heard the words Rocks Pirates, they spoke with some disdain.
“Is it the Rocks Pirates who often attack the Celestial Dragons? Today they came to our door on their own initiative. Do you, the Knights of God, just want to eat for free? If there are any invaders, then destroy them!”
After saying this, the Celestial Dragon stood up, holding a loudspeaker Den Den Mushi in his hand, and announced to everyone in the theater,
“Everyone! Now there are lowly pirates invading our island. In order to add some fun to this triennial hunting competition, I decided to give these pirates corresponding bounties!”
“Kill the pirates whose names are on the bounty notice and bring their heads to me to claim ten times the bounty! For those without a bounty, I will also give a reward of 10 million berries each!”
Such a high bounty made the cheers in the arena even louder. After all, the hunting competition in God Valley has been held for so many years, and this is the first time that there has been a pirate invasion!
The Tianlong people all found it very fresh and their excitement once again pushed the competition to a climax.
The people of the Knights of God also did not take the invading pirates seriously. After all, they were considered the highest force protecting the Celestial Dragons, and of course they looked down on small pirates.
At this moment, Ginny, one of the hunting targets, relied on his unparalleled stealing skills to obtain two devil fruits, and these two were the Meaty Fruit and Blue Dragon Fruit that Su Rui wanted most.
“Bear! Eat a devil fruit first!”
At this moment, Ginny is staying with Bartholomew Kuma, one of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Ivankov, a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and the King of the Demons. At this moment, they are only about 10 years old and are hiding in a corner shivering.
“Do I eat a devil fruit?”
The bear pointed at himself uncertainly, while Ginny nodded affirmatively.
“I overheard this fruit, it’s called the Meatball Fruit. As long as you eat it, you may be able to take us away from this place!”
When the bear heard this, he nodded solemnly, reached out to take the fruit and was about to put it into his mouth, but was suddenly stopped by a hand.
“You can’t eat this fruit.”
Su Rui smiled and said, “Because I want it.”
Young Ivankov was startled when he saw Su Rui suddenly appear, but after taking a closer look at his clothes and confirming that Su Rui was not a Celestial Dragon who came to slaughter them, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ginny looked at Su Rui carefully and recognized him at once.
“I know! You are Su Rui from the Rocks Pirates!”
Su Rui raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that a child as young as Ginny could know him. But since she knew him, it would be much easier.
“Then give the fruit to me. This thing is not something you three kids can control.”
Su Rui spoke, and after Ginny thought about it, she indeed handed the two devil fruits to Su Rui obediently, because Ginny, who knew Su Rui, knew very well that if they refused, Su Rui was fully capable of dealing with the three of them.
“That’s what a good kid is.”
Su Rui was very satisfied with their cooperative attitude, but according to the information he had obtained, the spoils were not just these two devil fruits.
“Do you know where the remaining devil fruits are?”
Su Rui continued to ask.
Chapter 42 Six Devil Fruits (Old Version)
Ginny looked at Su Rui. Although the man in front of her did not show any aggressive attitude, he was a pirate after all. If they showed any resistance, they would probably be strongly retaliated against.
And… Ginny glanced at Lingling standing behind Su Rui and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva. It was obvious that these two people were not easy to deal with.
In order to escape from this hellhole safely, Ginny had no choice but to cooperate and told Su Rui everything she knew.
“I know where the fruit is.”
Having been a slave for many years, Ginny of course hates the Celestial Dragons the most now. Even if the other party is a pirate, it is better than letting the Celestial Dragons get those devil fruits!
“It’s in the castle in front. We dug a tunnel to steal two devil fruits, but…”
Ginny looked at Su Rui, who was much taller than them, and said hesitantly,
“But that’s only enough for kids like us. You’re an adult, and I’m afraid it won’t accommodate your size.”
“No need to go through so much trouble. Just take me to that place. As for how to get in, I have my own way.”
Ginny looked at Su Rui’s confident expression and said nothing more. She could only nod and look at Ivankov and Bartholomew Bear standing beside her.
“You two stay here. I’ll bring them over and come back to find you.”
Xiong and Ivankov agreed obediently. After all, they were still just children and did not have much fighting power. If so many people went together, it would make the target seem bigger and put them in danger.
The best solution would be for the two of them to stay here and wait for Ginny to come back.
Ginny led the way and took Su Rui and Lingling to the gate of a hidden castle in the center of the city. The castle was tall and luxurious, and it still looked the same and also seemed quite sturdy.
This is it.
Ginny pointed to the door, “All the remaining devil fruits are stored here.”
Su Rui nodded and was about to open the door, but Lingling walked in front of Su Rui.
“You don’t need your brother to do this kind of thing yourself. Just leave it to me!”
Lingling said with a smile, and at the same time drew out her sword and split open the castle door.
Ginny was stunned by the scene in front of her. How could the extremely solid castle be so vulnerable in front of this person? !
This made Ginny extremely grateful that she chose to obey them at the beginning, otherwise she, Xiong, and Ivankov would probably have died at their hands.
Seeing that she had done what she promised to do, Ginny prepared to slip away quietly. Su Rui’s observation Haki of course sensed her actions, but Su Rui had no intention of doing anything to Ginny, so he pretended not to notice and let Ginny escape.
“Sure enough, that’s where the devil fruit is.”
As soon as the door was opened, Su Rui saw the four remaining devil fruits placed in the middle, and nothing else.
“These Tianlong people are really extravagant.”
Su Rui looked at this scene and couldn’t help but sigh, “This castle is decorated so luxuriously, but it’s just used to store a few devil fruits. The Celestial Dragons really have nowhere to spend their money!”
However, Su Rui also felt it was a bit strange. Logically, the place where the devil fruits were stored should be heavily guarded, but there was no one here?
Lingling obviously didn’t think too much about it. She was particularly happy to see the devil fruits here.
“Brother! Our Charlotte family must have gotten the lion’s share of the spoils in this operation! Even if they got a lot of business treasures, what good would it matter? Those things are not as precious as the devil fruits we got!”
Su Rui agreed with what Lingling said. The value of a precious devil fruit cannot be simply measured by money.
“Since no one is watching your hands, let’s get the things and go.”
Su Rui spoke and started to take the devil fruit away. Although there were no guards here at the moment, it was possible that someone would come to patrol such an important place soon, so it was more important to get the thing first.
Just when they were about to leave with the six devil fruits, several Knights of God who were sent by the Celestial Dragons to capture the invading pirates also arrived here.
“You lowly pirate.”
The members of the Knights of God looked at Su Rui and Ling Ling coldly.
“You actually want to steal the devil fruit of Master Celestial Dragon? I think you are tired of living! Hand over the thing quickly, and maybe I can leave you with an intact body!”
It had been a long time since Su Rui heard someone talk to him so arrogantly. He directly drew out his Ryujin Jakka and released his domineering aura to intimidate.
These members of the Knights of God probably did not expect that Su Rui actually had such powerful strength. Just under the pressure of the domineering aura, several of the Knights of God felt a little weak in the knees.
Su Rui did not give them any chance to breathe. He slashed towards them with his flaming Flowing Blade. The members of the Divine Knights, who had not yet recovered from the pressure of the Domineering Haki, had no time to dodge. They could only quickly use the Armament Haki to cover their entire bodies and forcibly resist the attack.
It must be said that the armed domineering aura of this member of the Knights of God was well-trained. Although many parts of his body were burnt and charred, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
“A trifle…”
The members of the Knights of God still refused to admit defeat.
“You think you can defeat us with just this little bit of strength? That’s absolutely impossible!”
Lingling on the side laughed out loud.
“Are you still being stubborn? You have to know that just now it was just my brother dealing with you guys. I haven’t taken any action yet!”
Su Rui looked at their stubborn appearance and said calmly,
“As members of the Knights of God who protect the Celestial Dragons, you are indeed quite good for being able to withstand my attack. But what I want to ask is, can those delicate Celestial Dragons also withstand my attack like you did?”
Upon hearing this, several members of the Knights of God suddenly became nervous, looking at Su Rui with vigilance, and questioned,
“You lowly pirate! What do you want to do to us Celestial Dragons?!”
“do what?”
Su Rui smiled contemptuously, “Of course, kill them all.”
