NOVEL NEXT Chapter 100: New Badge!
Grand Line.
Paradise.
Hanafuda looked at the report sent back by his subordinates and the bounty in his hand and felt that his lungs were about to explode.
"Those two idiots!"
"Going to a place like East Blue to rob a Devil Fruit, yet they still failed?"
The more Hanafuda talked, the angrier he became.
Boom!
He slapped the boulder behind him and flew it away, but the fire in his heart still had nowhere to vent.
The boulder fell to the ground, raising clouds of dust, and the pirates, who were completely shocked by the outburst, did not dare to speak for a long time, fearing that they would be affected.
After Hanafuda's breath deeply, he barely stabilized his sanity.
Seeing this, someone nervously said: "This matter is not entirely the fault of those two brothers."
"Originally, they had obtained the Devil Fruit, but when they returned to the Grand Line, they were stopped by White Knight Gawain."
"Besides, White Knight Gawain can easily defeat the two brothers. Such strength is not weak even in the Grand Line. It is highly unlikely that he will eat it immediately."
"People who already have a certain level of strength, even if they have devil fruit, if they are clear about its ability, they will not eat it."
"Captain, we still have a chance."
Hanafuda showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "What if the Devil Fruit has already been eaten?"
"I am already a Devil Fruit user, so it is impossible for me to eat another Devil Fruit, but this is something that person is interested in."
"If something goes wrong here, will you take the blame?"
The pirate who spoke trembled all over and knelt down on the spot.
For a moment, he only hated himself for talking too much.
Hanafuda glanced at him, gradually calmed down, and said lightly: "Not everyone is qualified to take the blame."
"Besides, what you said is right. If there is a slight possibility that the Devil Fruit is not eaten immediately, then I still have a chance."
"Whether he eats the Devil Fruit or not, there is only one way left for him."
"That is to die!"
Accompanying his words, a powerful aura emanates from Hanafuda's body, setting off a gust of wind around him.
Looking at the surrounding environment and the pirates kneeling in the distance, he felt a sense of suffocation.
"If I hadn't lost to that kid, how could I have fallen to this point?"
"Damn it!"
After taking a deep breath, Hanafuda turned his head and looked out the window, only to feel that the sense of crisis that had once made him feel like a thorn in his back had disappeared.
"Where is that old bastard?"
"He withdrew a few days ago, leaving only a few warships on standby there, posing no threat."
Hanafuda showed a cruel smile: "That's great, I'll do it myself!"
… … …
East Blue.
The wind was light, the waves were gentle, the sky was clear, and the clouds were few; it was rare good weather.
A small pirate ship gradually entered Raven Harbor and slowly moored at the side of the harbor under the guidance of the workers.
The civilians in the harbor were not surprised by this.
It was because the pirate flag on that ship was the one that had pulled this harbor back from the brink of death several times in recent months.
There were even many children standing aside and watching curiously.
As the gangway was lowered.
The Nyaban Brothers and Van Augur, who had regained their mobility, together with Jasmine, all gathered here to welcome Gawain's return.
Gawain and the others walked down slowly.
"Miss."
Jasmine saw Gaza at a glance, and tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Gaza with torn clothes.
"Woo."
The two hugged each other tightly and cried in each other's arms.
Gawain's sight fell on the two Nyaban Brothers, who were crying on the side.
He frowned slightly and asked. "What happened?"
"Captain, we… We ate something worth a hundred million Belly…"
Sham wanted to cry but had no tears.
Buchi, beside him, burst into tears on the spot.
It was Van Augur, who was standing beside them, who waved to Gawain.
"They accidentally ate Devil Fruits."
"It should be the Devil Fruit eaten by the two people who attacked Raven Harbor."
"Ah?"
Gawain had a black question mark on his face.
Then he remembered that every Devil Fruit, especially the Zoan Fruit, has its own consciousness.
The most typical example is the Nika fruit, which even evaded the World Government's pursuit on its own. It can only be said that the Nyaban Brothers are most likely to encounter this situation.
Gawain threw a probe at the two of them:
[Name: Sham]
[potential - Bronze]
[Rating: Iron, Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Ocelot Fruit user!]
[Name: Buchi]
[Potential - Bronze]
[Rating: Iron, Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Maine coon Fruit user!]
As expected.
After the two ate the devil fruit, their potential broke through the original upper limit and reached the Bronze level.
As long as they develop normally, their future combat power will definitely not be weaker than the previous owners of these two Devil Fruit.
Gawain reached out and rubbed their heads, comforting them: "Don't be so ungrateful. After eating a Devil Fruit, if you work hard, your strength will be greatly improved."
"Just bring a few more lifeguards on the boat when you go out to sea in the future."
The two came back to their senses from the depressed mood, reached out, and scratched their heads, revealing a silly smile.
Gawain asked: "When did you eat the fruit?
"Three or four days ago."
"That's not right."
"Lache and Lache died more than ten days ago. There is still a buffer period for the rebirth of the devil fruit?!"
Gawain frowned.
After some thought, Gawain did not find the answer in his memory.
He simply stopped thinking about it, turned his eyes to Van Augur beside him, and threw a probe again.
Van Augur's panel appeared in front of Gawain:
[Name: Van Augur]
[Potential: Silver]
[Rating: Iron: Specialize in sniping, have a huge potential!]
Although Van Augur's potential did not reach the Gold level as Gawain expected.
But Gawain was not surprised. After all, the potential calculated by the system is calculated based on the character's current limit.
Once he comprehends Haki or obtains a matching Devil Fruit, this potential will be directly raised.
Besides, even with his current ability, he is more than enough to be a sniper.
Gawain slightly raised his head: "I have killed those two cats. From today on, you are mine."
"Ah."
"Although I have never agreed to your bet. However, for the sake of that, the ship distributes dividends according to strength, then please give me more advice…"
Van Augur pretended to be helpless and said: "Captain!"
"Hmph!"
Gawain snorted lightly and was about to say something when his sight was attracted by a newspaper falling from the sky.
A familiar face in the scattered bounty made Gawain's eyelids jump, and the skyrocketing numbers on it made him feel confused. "One, ten, a hundred, ten million… 100 million?"
"Two, two, two… 248 million?!
Nami picked up Gawain's bounty from the ground with shaking arms.
"The captain's bounty is over 100 million?"
When Van Augur saw the bounty, he shook his head directly:
"I just joined the gang, and the captain's bounty is already over 100 million? Is it too late for me to quit now?"
Kuro glanced at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you can't even accept this bounty, then you have to be mentally prepared for the journey ahead of time."
"What do you think?"
"That guy."
"He must become the king of the pirates!"
The Nyaban Brothers were so excited that they started dancing awkwardly on the spot: "The captain's bounty has increased again!"
Everyone was excited when they saw Gawain's skyrocketing bounty because the bounty could reflect, to a great extent, the strength of a pirate.
And just in terms of bounty, Gawain has opened up one or even two zeros for most of the pirates in the East Blue.
Only Gawain, who was surrounded by everyone, was a little dazed for a while because the familiar system prompt sound came again, and he knew what this meant.
"Congratulations on unlocking the Badge: A bounty of over 100 million!
"You will be favored by the sea!"
