NOVEL NEXT Chapter 98: Fruit Choosing A Master
Jasmine stretched out two fingers and shook them at Van Augur with a proud expression on her face.
"Even the monsters coming down from the Grand Line are not Mr. Gawain's opponents."
After that, in Van Augur's dull eyes, Jasmine placed two fruit baskets between the Nyaban Brothers.
Buchi picked up one of them and just wanted to put it in his mouth, but he stopped his hand and couldn't help saying: "Isn't that natural?"
"Captain Gawain is like this; you never know when he will come up with a new trump card or powerful force beyond your imagination."
Sham nodded: "Ah, I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
The Nyaban Brothers were not surprised by this because, in their minds.
Gawain is the strongest.
No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the difficulty is, as long as Gawain is there, they can overcome it!
The same is true for Jasmine, who has experienced two wars in Raven Harbor.
They have fought with Lache and Labu before.
Only Van Augur on the side opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with unbelievable emotions.
Therefore, he also knew how powerful the opponent was.
The opponent has eaten Zoan fruit, giving them a strong physique.
But even without the devil fruit, those two people are enough to run rampant in the East Blue with just physical skills, and they can beat others easily, including the Fish-Men Arlong and Admiral Krieg, who are already not physically weak…
At least in Van Augur's memory, there is no one in the East Blue who can fight with Lache and Labu.
Wait, these two people seem to have been killed by Gawain?!
At this moment, Van Augur suddenly realized that those powerful beings in the East Blue in his memory seemed to have been taken down by Gawain.
Realizing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ahh."
"This is fate!"
"Now, there is no reason to refuse that guy's invitation."
Sham was slightly stunned: "The captain invited you to board our ship?"
During this period, the pirates in the sea area near Raven Harbor were basically handled by the Nyaban Brothers and Jango, while Van Augur was responsible for the security of the harbor.
The two sides cooperated seamlessly and gradually recognized each other's abilities.
"You kid."
At this moment, when they heard that Gawain invited Van Augur, the Nyaban Brothers couldn't help but smile happily: "You want the dividend rights?"
"It's really the right time. If it's a few months later, you can only wait until next year to get the dividend rights."
Van Augur wondered: "What is that?"
Buchi scratched his head and explained: "The rules are complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."
"You can understand it as, through a martial arts tournament, the ranking of the internal combat power on the ship is determined. The higher the ranking, the more money you can get!"
Van Augur's breathing became visibly rapid.
He didn't know how much the White Knight Pirate could earn in a year, but he knew how much influence the White Knight Pirate had now.
With the collapse of large Pirate crews such as Krieg and Arlong Pirates, the White Knight Pirate became the undisputed overlord of East Blue.
In addition, this incident will soon be spread out, and by then, the reputation of the White Knight Pirate in the East Blue will soar to another level.
After all, in order to protect its forces, it did not hesitate to fight against the monsters coming down from the Grand Line and even prevented them from leaving the East Blue.
The Marines may not be able to do this, but the White Knight Pirate can!
It can be said that after this incident, as long as Gawain is willing to offer a price, countless town managers and nobles in East Blue will hand their money in exchange for his protection.
Just lying at home and getting Belly in the account; this kind of thing Van Augur never dared to think about before.
And according to the Nyaban Brothers, as long as he takes the top few places in the ranking, the profit for the next year will have his own share.
Van Augur's eyes turned red: "Everyone, please give me more advice in the future!"
"Wait!"
Van Augur's sight suddenly noticed the strange-shaped fruit in Sham and Buchi's hand, and he was startled:
Sham and Buchi only felt an indescribable taste poured into their mouth.
After two consecutive crisp sounds, the two people's faces instantly turned purple, and they opened their mouths to retch, but nothing came out.
Buchi stuck out his tongue, using the cool air passing through his mouth to relieve the bad taste in his mouth. He then lowered his head and found that he had bitten in half a strange fruit.
"Is this fruit expired?"
"What is this?"
Sham looked at the fruit in his hand and was also slightly absent-minded:
"Like… Like a cat's head...?"
Jasmine looked at the strange fruits in the hands of the two people and was a little confused for a while:
"I clearly remember that I didn't buy this kind of fruit, only some apples and oranges; how could it be…"
The three people were puzzled.
Van Augur's voice came: "That's probably the legendary Devil Fruit. I didn't expect to see it here."
As soon as his voice fell, the Nyaban Brothers sitting on the bed next to him changed.
Their bodies expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few seconds, they turned into two huge cats.
Van Augur was caught off guard and sat on the ground after being squeezed out by Buchi.
Jasmine was quick-witted and saw the two changing. She ran to the door and avoided being affected.
She looked back into the room again and saw two big cats, one fat and one thin, huddled together in a daze.
Jasmine realized what had happened instantly: "Lion and cheetah?! Did you eat a Devil Fruit?!"
A few minutes later, the noise in the ward gradually subsided, and only two desperate voices were heard: "It's over; I've become a landlubber!"
Van Augur's wounds almost burst, and he grimaced in pain, but he didn't forget to remind them: "That's a devil fruit worth a hundred million Belly, and this Devil Fruit seems to be from the two pirates who came down from the Grand Line."
"How could this happen?!"
The Nyaban Brothers' focus was not on this at all.
When they heard the shocking figures from Van Augur's mouth, they felt pain for a moment.
Van Augur rolled his eyes.
"I just ate hundreds of millions of Belly? Is it too late for me to spit it out now?"
"What do you think…"
"Woo..."
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
At the same time, what happened in the East Blue was also sent to the Marine Headquarters through the report of the East Blue's Marines.
A group of senior marine officials are now gathering in a conference room in Marineford.
Everyone looked at the report in their hands, and the expressions on their faces became solemn.
"I have some impression of that guy, Smoker. He is also a graduate of the Marine Academy and even an excellent marine who ranks among the top."
"Although his personality is too strong and he often disobeys orders from his superiors, his strength is still better than most of the pirates in Paradise."
"Even he was defeated? And in the weakest sea? It seems that this time, Four Seas is really starting to get turbulent."
"But the Marines cannot watch the seeds of evil take root and sprout."
