Chapter 588: Navy Comes, Old Friend! Devil Fruit, Receive Soft Hands!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, dazzling fireworks exploded in the sky of Feast Island. With the roaring sound, the sky was full of colorful flower flakes falling from the sky, falling on the passers-by on the island streets and on the shuttle boats in the island waterway.
on deck.
An extremely festive atmosphere fills every corner of the Feast Island.
"What an exaggeration!"
Standing at the front of the deck of a naval battleship, Kaji Kaji glanced at the bustling scene on both sides of the channel.
"I heard that this place was originally a small island in the dark world, and the people living on the island were originally low-life pirates and scumbags...
"I didn't expect that after Cui Ze took action to clean it up, in less than half a month, the island would return to its former glory."
Wearing a light blue suit and a coat of justice on his back, the dignified Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Takagi Kaji, did not put on any disguise when he went to Feast Island.
This is [Hunter Celebration]!
This is not the Pirate Expo.
Naturally, the arrival of naval power is welcome.
However, the indifferent appreciation for Cui Ze contained in Jiaji's words was not accepted by the two travelers beside him.
"Hmph! Pirates are pirates!"
Motosa Gion snorted coldly. She was wearing a pink lace top and a pair of very short hot pants on her lower body. Her long white legs and trembling figure were clearly revealed.
"A hunter is not a hunter... Who knows what this great legal pirate is thinking!"
Like Kake, Gion also wears a coat of justice, and his identity as Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is clearly revealed.
According to common sense.
Gion is not such a mean and sharp person.
But the problem is that Gion's attitude towards Cui Ze is very complicated.
Gion, who doesn't know the true story, feels that she is the first - the worst and the first among the navy to discover the special qualities of the Card Master.
During the famous battle between Card Master and Pluto Rayleigh on the Shampoo Islands, Gion was right there!
It was also from that time that Gion mistakenly believed that Cui Ze had already had many conflicts and battles with the navy, and used his [Card Fruit] ability to "steal" Kizaru's Shining Fruit ability.
Based on this judgment, Gion concluded that "Card Master Cuize Feite is definitely a hidden careerist", and suggested to Lieutenant General Tsuru more than once to "contact Cuize as a geisha, and if necessary, sneak attack and defeat the opponent"
, imprison him to Impel Down City."
I just don’t know why, Sister He keeps rejecting my suggestions...
This time, he even sent himself to Feast Island, telling him that the navy's new world plan needed Cui Ze's support...
Outrageous!
How could the navy's plan need the support of a big pirate!?
Gion's heart was filled with irritation.
She vaguely noticed something was not right.
But how could he know that there was too little information, and the real situation was too shocking.
Even if he were Gion, he would never have thought that the card master who was the majestic King of the Shichibukai and was recognized by the world as a candidate for the next Pirate Emperor would be... a little Commodore from the Navy Headquarters!
"Gion, don't ruin your good mood."
Jiaji turned his head and said softly.
"Do you want me to accompany you to visit Feast Island later? Look at how lively this island is."
The tea dolphin is quite popular among the navy.
To be precise, it is very popular among ordinary citizens.
But how to say...
For some people, looking closely is cruel.
Gion didn't even feel helpless at this moment, only numbness.
"No need, Lieutenant General Jiaji."
Gion put on a serious face and spoke in a very formulaic tone.
"The Navy's mission is urgent."
After hearing this, Jiaji, who had been very gentle just now, instantly felt petrified.
See this scene.
Standing behind Kake and Gion was a white-haired Navy Rear Admiral. His mood, which had become increasingly worse since approaching Feast Island, finally improved to a certain extent.
Thermal transfer of smoke particles.
The two cigars held in the white-haired major general's mouth were finally lit, instead of just lighting one and extinguishing the other.
Smoke two cigars at once.
The identity of this white-haired major general is already very obvious.
"How many times has Lieutenant General Jiaji failed to confess his love informally?"
Smoker took a puff of his cigar, and the smoke obscured his expression.
‘Remember, you’ve officially confessed your love a hundred times, right?’
Smoker's eyes moved away from Kage and Gion, and instead looked down at a treasure chest at their feet.
This treasure box is a "gift" prepared by the Navy Headquarters for this [Hunter Celebration], and it is also a "reward" for Cui Ze who pulled out the Golden Lion Shiji and the Instant Gun King Zhi two old-era pirates some time ago. !
[Superman Series·Soft Candy Fruits]!
'Cui Ze...'
Smoker calmly stared at the Devil Fruit treasure box, and the names of his former friends emerged in his heart.
And beside Smoker.
A quiet clown who has washed away his brilliance is also silently looking forward to meeting him later.
'I wonder how you are doing in the Destiny Pirates now...'
Don Quixote Rossinandi wore the coat of justice that symbolized his status as rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters. He raised his eyes and stared at the fantasy island lifted up into the sky by the rising sea currents. There was deep expectation in his eyes.
'Lo!'
…
The core of Feast Island, Destiny Island.
Cui Ze has not yet noticed the navy quartet who have arrived at Feast Island.
Smoker, Kaki, Gion, Rosinandi...
All of them are former friends!
After half a month of crazy pressure-type gravity training, coupled with his already superb attribute growth rate, Cui Ze felt that he was only one step away from breaking through the A-level agility attribute value.
Perhaps it only takes one or two battles of sufficient standard to achieve a natural breakthrough!
Just like when he faced the Golden Lion Shiji before...
[Hunter Celebration] was officially held.
Cui Ze turned his attention away from his own attribute values and began to entertain guests one after another.
As the captain of the Destiny Pirates and the master of the [Hunter Association], Cui Ze is responsible for entertaining very few guests personally.
It's nothing more than the World Government, the Navy Headquarters, the affiliated countries, etc.
There are exceptions, however.
For example, just now, Cui Ze had a brief meeting and exchange with the other two kings Shichibukai who personally went to Feast Island to participate in the [Hunter Association].
Eagle - Joracol Mihawk!
Bear - Bartholomew Bear!
These two are also the only Qibukai who accepted Cui Ze's invitation and came to Feast Island.
As for the others...
Moonlight Moria is already in Traize's card, and Snake Lady Hancock is not included in the invitation.
Cui Ze would like to invite Sand Crocodile.
It's a pity that the sand crocodile didn't want to come over for some reason.
Probably because the [Hunter Association] stole the business...
Kaixia Jinbei, who just took over as the last king of the Shichibukai last year, was also within the scope of Cui Ze's invitation.
But at this time, Jinbei was dragging the Sun Pirates with him to escort the ships from Fishman Island to Gaya Island.
Considering Jinbei's status and position, Cui Ze did not send a formal invitation to him in the end, but only told Fatty Lan to take good care of Princess Otohime and others.
Jinbei was grateful for Cui Ze's kindness and was determined to apologize deeply when they met.
This is a story for later.
Cui Ze had just bid farewell to the two kings of Shichibukai.
Three more kings came together, they were the kings of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Prodence and the Kingdom of Winter Tower.
After some casual greetings, King Liku and others left the gifts and left first.
The gifts from the Three Kingdoms were somewhat beyond Cui Ze's expectations.
Except for some gold and silver jewelry.
The three treasure boxes placed on the top of the gift are the real gifts of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and more!
And just now King Liku and others clearly pointed out the true identities of these three treasure boxes——
Three devil fruits!
Two of the Superman type and one of the Animal type.
[Superman-type Seam Fruit] sent by the Winter Tower Kingdom!
[Superman-Glare Fruit] sent by the Kingdom of Dressrosa!
[Animal-type Egg Fruit] sent by the Kingdom of Prodence!
"These three devil fruits."
Cui Ze threw out the [Treasure Room] card and first collected the three treasure boxes containing devil fruits.
"There are also two Devil Fruits provided by the World Government that Pride sent over before..."
That’s right!
The wealthy World Government had already given away three Devil Fruits in the previous Kingdom of Dressrosa.
