Chapter 8 Protagonists
“…”
Heck was already like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture at this time, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
He swore that if the hateful fat old man in front of him was not a devil fruit ability, he would definitely take out a gun on the spot and smash the bastard who was playing with him.
"That's probably what you are doing when you ask me what I'm here to find you..."
Old Gan didn't pay attention to Heck's ups and downs in his mind at all. After pondering for a while, he said to himself, "It's mainly to see if the partner the young master has chosen is still a matter of time."
"You guy is quite interesting. You are greedy for life and fearful of death, have no enterprising spirit, only wine and meat and women in your mind, but you are not stupid enough to be able to tell the current affairs and have the bonds you can't let go, which can be held in our hands as a handle."
When Lao Gan said this, he looked at Heck and said with a smile, "In short, the young master's vision is still as accurate and sophisticated as ever. There will be several naval colonels who have been in charge of various branches during this period. You are indeed the most suitable one."
"I just think it's praising me..."
Heck rubbed his temples, looking helpless, but soon realized something was wrong, and suddenly stiffened his expression, "Bond? Handle? What does this mean?"
"The reason you chose to take the sea train to take the job is to meet a woman named Anna while you are in the water city?"
Old Gan was still laughing, but the information revealed in his voice made Heck shudder, "You both died of both parents and became an orphan since childhood. You have not made any sincere friends over the years. It can be said that you are free from worries. The only weakness that you can't let go is the girl you once loved when you were a teenager."
"It's a pity that the other party has already married. This time, you pass by the Water Capital. You only dare to wander at her doorstep and dare not visit her. You wait until the other party comes back in the evening. You are very satisfied when you take a look at the alley from a distance. So you have no regrets and boarded the train to the station of Pulai Town."
“…”
Heck was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I saw you let the driver of that train away before, but I thought that although you were bandits, you still had a principled bottom line in doing things. I didn't expect that the methods were so sinister..."
"Bandits are just bastards who have no conscience than pirates. It seems that you still have a misunderstanding of our profession, little Heck." Old Gan shrugged, "Who told you, let's let that old driver go?"
"Huh?" Heck's eyes showed confusion, "but he has left the station in Pray Town and is rushing back..."
"And then when I was about to return to the Water Capital, I accidentally bumped into a train robber?"
Lao Gan smiled and helped him take it, "Or Sea Kings, Storms, etc., disappeared silently in this world. Until a fisherman from the Water Capital left the port to chase the sea, accidentally saw the wreckage of the sea train, and hurriedly reported to the city hall, and then he tracked down the tragedy."
"You see, this kind of script is much more reasonable, right? If he hasn't sent you to the station, he will be killed by us, which will inevitably arouse some unnecessary suspicion..."
Looking at Heck who was stunned, Lao Gan smiled even brighter, "Is there anything else to ask? My time is still quite precious. Now it's time to explain it to you, and I've said it. If there is nothing wrong, I'll take a step first."
Hecky said nothing, just as Old Gan thought he had nothing to say, and was about to turn into a raven and fly away, he suddenly heard this sentence, "You mentioned two names before, one was Sethy and the other was Yano, right?"
"Yes." Old Gan turned around again and glanced at Heke more with interest.
Starting to ask these questions actively is a sign of completely giving up the desire to be lucky and starting to cooperate with them all. It seems that the young master's previous vision is really right. This guy is indeed not as fat, stupid and dementia as he looks. Instead, he is quite aware of advancement, retreat, and current affairs, and he can understand it at one point.
"Setti is that tall man? He can squeeze the hard skull with one hand. This terrible power is not like an ordinary human being able to possess. He has giant bloodline?"
Heck's expression was very complicated at this time, as if he didn't want to ask these questions, but he had to seize this opportunity to take the initiative to get more information, "Who is Yano? Is it one of the people whom Lord Vito brought with him last night?"
"Wow, I've asked about the point."
Lao Gan raised his eyebrows, "Seti does have one-quarter of the giant bloodline, but his power is not only derived from his innate nature. This guy is a shield fruit ability. He is a human-shaped mobile fortress. He is not easy to squeeze the heads of your waste followers..."
Speaking of this, Lao Gan thrust without any trace, not because of anything else, but he suddenly remembered that since Seth followed the young master, his fruit ability had not had a few chances to be used.
The biggest use on weekdays is that when it rains and snows, the air above the sky serves as an invisible shield to protect the young master from the wind and rain, and keep his clothes clean and tidy.
For example, if this time the attack on the sea train was not Serti's ability, even the young master would not be able to smoke a complete cigar in the cold rainstorm, so that the bullet could fly slowly for a while...
“As for Yano.”
Facing Heck's gaze, Lao Gan quickly withdrew his thoughts and continued to answer, "It was the boy in black who pointed a gun at you last night. This little devil is not easy to mess with. He is born to be an assassin. I don't know how many dirty and black things he has secretly helped the young master deal with in recent years. He is so vicious. When I see him in the future, I advise you to forget the unhappiness on the train and respect him."
These words suddenly made Heck feel fear of death approaching when the gun was pressed against his forehead. He nodded in a hurry to show that he would keep this warning in his heart.
"Young Master brought out this time, in fact, most of the confidant cadres except me, were in the carriage last night, and you have seen them all."
Old Gan thought for a while and said, "You should know that little girl Hathaway, right?"
"Know."
Heck's eyes lit up and hesitated, and the visual impact brought by the scene of the cat turning into a human under the orange light last night was still engraved in his mind and unforgettable.
“Speaking of it…”
After asking this, Heck finally found something wrong, or a very terrible similarity among Vito's men.
"You...you are the Raven Fruit abilities, that Sethy is the Shield Fruit abilities, and there is another one who can become a cat. Is this what you are all the Demon Fruit abilities?"
That is the devil fruit with the lowest starting price in the black market of 100 million Bailey! Even on the great voyage, it has never been a bad product. Is a group of bandits coming out of the deep mountains and forests so rich and powerful?
"It's just a little property that the young master has saved."
Lao Gan seemed to see his doubts and said with a smile, "We are bandits. We have been robbers and have fought all over the years to fight and fight everywhere, and have also annexed so many villages we traveled with. It is reasonable to collect a few devil fruits?"
"Besides, among the people brought out this time, only the three of us have the ability of devil fruits, and there is no Yano you mentioned just now."
Old Gan curled his lips, "Actually, the young master also admired him, but that little guy is very stubborn, just look down on these foreign objects. He always thinks that he depends entirely on his own strength, and it is useless to persuade him..."
Is there any such guy?
Heck felt that his three views were a little overturned. He couldn't understand this strange idea anyway. If he had changed himself, he would be lucky enough to be rewarded with a devil fruit by his boss, and he would be able to eat it without saying a word.
