Chapter 571 Explosive News
The base price of a devil fruit is 100 million Baileys.
Depending on the ability and department, the price will double.
Even so, there is no market.
The most likely occasions for the Devil Fruit to appear are basically auctions with a well-known reputation and sufficiently hard backstage.
However, people who are eager for the devil fruit will usually push the bidding price to a price that ordinary people cannot afford.
Thanks to Arthur's methods, he could find some sellers in the underground world who were unwilling to take the devil fruit for auction.
It's a pity that his fate is poor, or he is born with the insulating properties of the devil fruit. Arthur has struggled for so many years, but he has never succeeded in buying a devil fruit.
Now, Maude, a major collector of devil fruits, is in front of him, and he must consider whether this is the only opportunity in his life that is closest to devil fruits.
In order to seize this opportunity, his brain was hot, he squatted directly at the port in advance, waiting for Maude's arrival, and then made a request to purchase Devil Fruit.
But Maude knew that Arthur had no money now.
Although he now holds five devil fruits in his hand, he is not generous enough to sell it cheaply.
Most importantly, he is not short of money at all.
Therefore, in the face of Arthur's request, Maude simply refused to say whether you have money.
Arthur's mind cooled down, but he was desperately eager for devil fruit, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity anyway.
He even thought of a way to write an IOU to Maude, but he quickly rejected it by himself.
"I don't have money, and I want to ‘get’ a devil fruit from Maude, what should I do to..."
Arthur's head turned quickly in an instant.
In this situation, few methods can be thought of.
And the only method with higher possibility was difficult for Arthur himself to accept.
But in the end, the desire for the devil fruit prevailed.
In less than a second or two, Arthur raised his eyes to look at Maude, with a solemn expression: "I have no money, but I can sell this life to you!"
"Your fate?"
Maude shook his head slightly. It was not that he looked down on Arthur. Based on his requirements for members, Arthur was still a long way away from passing the test.
To put it ugly, Maude didn't need Arthur's life at all.
When he was about to refuse, Maude suddenly thought of "blacking" Arthur's permanent pointer in the Leviathan Island bar, as well as the [line technique] that Arthur was proficient in, and stopped speaking in time.
Seeing Maude shaking his head, Arthur's heart sank directly to the bottom.
Sell your life to Maude, even if you become Maude’s slave, this is the only way Arthur can get the devil fruit from Maude.
But even so, it failed.
Thinking back to the bad experiences in the past, Arthur felt that he was going to be depressed.
"Get on the boat, I will give you a chance to embody ‘value’."
Just when Arthur's heart was dead gray, Maude's sudden words, like the dawn that broke through the night, made Arthur's whole heart alive in an instant.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes were full of bright light.
"Boss, I won't let you down!"
After spending many years in the underground world, he changed his name directly to Boss Maud.
Maude said blankly: "I haven't acknowledged your'value' yet, so don't rush to call my boss, and don't be too happy too early."
"If the'value' shown by you can't meet my requirements, I will let you off the boat as soon as possible. Relatively, if you can show the value that satisfies me, you will be given a devil fruit for free, which is nothing. ."
Hearing Maude's words, Arthur reduced the light in his eyes and nodded heavily.
Around, everyone in the Maude Pirate Group, even if they did not agree with Arthur's ability, would not disagree with Maude's decision.
"Get on the boat."
Maude strode towards the Underworld.
When he was on Leviathan Island, Maude had a serious shortage of funds in order to build a ship, and it happened that Arthur sent him the permanent pointer of the small garden.
At that time, due to lack of funds, Maude could only use a few tricks and took the permanent pointer of the small garden directly from Arthur's hands.
Afterwards, Maude collected two waves of experience points in the small garden, and also mastered the vital hegemony skills.
It was these things that made Maude willing to give Arthur a chance.
If Arthur can get his approval, then he doesn't mind giving [Line Fruit] to Arthur.
Arthur watched Maude walking towards the back of the Underworld, his fighting spirit was like a raging fire.
"I absolutely must seize this opportunity!"
Arthur said to himself in his heart.
Under the gaze of the Neptune family and the many residents of Murloc Island, Maude and his team boarded the Underworld one by one.
After a while.
The sails are raised, and the flag pattern of the Maud Pirates group painted on the sails swells with the sails, becoming quite three-dimensional.
Maude stood on the side of the ship, calmly watching Neptune and others in the harbor.
Starting today, he has one more promise to fulfill.
For this, he has to become stronger, strong enough to fulfill all promised promises.
Whether it’s from Murloc Island or Big Bear and Sunny...
The Underworld slowly sailed away from the port and headed to the deep sea outside the fisherman island.
As the Hades continued to rise, the murloc island underneath gradually became a small spot of light.
Lafayette and Jim were nervous, their attention was highly concentrated.
One of them is a navigator and the other is a helmsman, taking on the safety of the entire team.
Even if they had completed a successful voyage to Murloc Island, they still did not relax at all in the deep seabed below this 10,000 meters.
In contrast, other people are much more relaxed, drinking wine while enjoying the deep sea wonders outside the bubble film.
The Haunted Earth slowly and steadily ascended until smoothly riding the Shanghai Current, and the ascent speed instantly increased several times.
"There will be no problem then."
After successfully sending the Hades to the rising currents, Lafayette's pressure eased a lot.
The sailing along the rising current is very smooth.
In the end, the Underworld jumped out of the sea like a flying fish, and immediately fell heavily, shaking up large waves.
After jumping out of the sea, the scene before everyone's eyes was thunderstorms pouring, strong winds, and stormy waves on the sea.
"Rumble—"
There was a deafening thunder in the sky where the black clouds were surging, and thunder and lightning swiftly shone through the thick black clouds.
"It's pretty bad weather."
Maude came to the bow and looked up at the thunderous sky.
His calm look was in stark contrast with the crew huddled behind him.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Maude's eyes narrowed slightly.
A visible cyclone appeared on the sea directly in front of the Hades.
This kind of cyclone, Maud has seen many times in voyages, is a precursor to the formation of tornadoes.
Maude was about to remind Lafayette, but saw the original slender tornado cyclone, in just one or two seconds, wishing to unreasonably expand several times.
Every second, the tornado cyclone expands at an astonishing speed, and at the same time it is rolling up a huge amount of sea water.
"Good guy."
A flash of surprise flashed in Maude's eyes.
Rao is that he has seen waterspouts many times in the Great Channel, but this is the first time he has seen a waterspout with such an abnormal expansion speed and scale.
This is the new world...
Therefore, it is better to go empty in the future.
at the same time.
Somewhere in the sky with clear weather.
The terrifying three-masted ship is quietly suspended above the sea of clouds.
The trip to Murloc Island, with the size of a terrifying three-masted ship, cannot be coated to the sea.
Therefore, the terror three-masted ship can only stay in the new world, waiting for the return of Maude and his party.
Jaya, who is in charge of controlling the three-masted ship of terror, should of course stay in the new world.
Staying with her are the crew of the Monster Monk Pirates, Red Heart Pirates, Hawkins Pirates.
During their journey to Murloc Island in Maude.
Jaya continued to embed the black stones of Thor Island one by one into the hollow hull area of the terrifying three-masted ship, so as to improve the ability of floating fruits.
The other crew members, as coolies, are responsible for improving the image of the terrorist three-masted ship.
First of all, there are large and meaningless forests of gloomy coldness,
Secondly, there are quite dazzling tomb areas and ruined buildings.
Their first task is to flatten these areas, and then wait for Maude and the others to return to transform the vacated areas.
With their efforts, the landscape of the island is changing.
On the castle balcony.
Jia Ya stood quietly, her long hair and skirt waving in the wind.
She held a life card in her hand.
"Made...has an accident happened?"
Isolating the oncoming strong wind from the palm of his hand, Jaya noticed the direction the life card was pointing, and suddenly turned to the other side.
Although the life card was business as usual, this sudden change made Jaya a little worried.
"Could it be swallowed or taken away by the sea king?"
Jia Ya said anxiously to herself, and immediately followed the direction of the life card and used her ability to change the course of the terrifying three-masted ship.
Her main task is to meet Maude and the others who have returned to the surface as soon as possible.
I thought there was a life card's guidance, it shouldn't be difficult to reunite.
But after all, this is a more dangerous new world, and it is possible to usher in disaster at any moment.
Five days later.
An island in the new world.
In the clear sky, seagulls hovered over a simple harbor.
The heavily damaged Haunted Earth was anchored in the harbor.
Its main mast broke, a large piece was lifted on the left side of the hull, the cabin shell was damaged to varying degrees, and the main sail and auxiliary sail were torn on a large scale.
"Tsk, the material for the entire hull basically uses Adam, the treasure tree, which is too rich."
On the wooden bridge near the shore, a short old man with a pipe in his mouth stretched out his hand to stroke the hull of the Underworld, and couldn't help but explode.
There is no other reason, but the Hades is too moat.
"I don't know what you encountered that caused such a'sturdy' ship to be damaged like this."
"Are you sure to fix it?"
Maude stood behind the little old man and did not mean to explain, but asked questions about the maintenance of the Underworld.
The little old man looked back at Maude and nodded: "As long as you don't mind material problems, maintenance is a trivial matter."
"Then bother you, please fix our boat as soon as possible."
"Money is in place, everything is easy to say."
The old man retracted his gaze, but he was a little surprised.
He knew Maude, but he never expected that the rumored big pirate would be so kind to an old ship repairer in his neighborhood.
See you a long time ago.
The old man sighed in his heart.
Maude nodded at the old man, then turned and walked towards the building not far away.
Five days ago, they encountered an unreasonable super-large tornado in the stormy sea and almost killed them on the spot.
Fortunately, the Underworld was very strong and didn't let them get on the boat and destroy them.
It's just that people are out of danger, but the Underworld is seriously damaged.
In desperation, Maude could only choose to temporarily rest on the islands found in the nearby waters.
On the one hand, the Underworld was repaired, and on the other hand, it was waiting for Jia Ya to find them in a terrifying three-masted ship.
This island, which is temporarily closed, does not occupy a large area.
Just look at the port facilities, they are crude and backward.
The small town not far from the port is even more sparse with only 20 or 30 buildings.
When he first landed on the island, Maude's first impression of the town was barrenness.
Of course, this is also impossible.
Compared with the first half of the Great Channel, the navigation in the New World is more thrilling and demanding, and it is naturally difficult to build a stable trade route.
As a result, islands with inherently poor environmental conditions are difficult to develop.
Even if it can develop to a relatively prosperous level, it will be targeted by the four emperors who dominate the new world.
After all, a site means a protection fee income.
And the island where Maude is located is obviously not qualified to be favored by the Four Emperors.
Maude followed the dusty road to the tavern only a hundred steps away from the port.
Next to the pub door.
Luo held the ghost crying, leaning back against the wooden wall outside the tavern, looking at Maude who came by.
"Is that old man reliable?"
"The tone is not small, it should be a bit capable."
Maude smiled.
Regardless of whether the old man in the port can repair the Underworld, they have no choice in their current situation.
Luo took out a newspaper from his shirt, his expression was slightly solemn, and said, "I asked for a newspaper from the tavern. It was from yesterday."
"Why, in the past few days when our ship was almost destroyed, has there been any major incident?"
Maude looked at Ronaldo's solemn expression.
Luo threw the newspaper to Maude and said, "Read it for yourself."
"..."
Maude caught the newspaper and read it directly.
What caught your eye was a conspicuous title related to the Navy.
"Have the Warring States abdicated..."
Maude glanced over the headline, reading the headline content.
Maude, who holds the intelligence of the future, is not very surprised by the abdication of the Warring States period.
However, the reason for the abdication of the Warring States was not the defeat of the war, but the fact that he attacked Mary Gioia to abduct the Dragonites and killed two Dragonites.
"Aka dog takes over as the marshal of the Warring States period, the green pheasant retires from the navy, and the uncle smiles to succeed him as the general..."
Although the content of the report was yesterday, the change of the navy headquarters happened a week ago.
The navy headquarters froze for a week before exploding this eye-popping news.
Maude groaned.
After the top war ended, some developments became different, and some developments quietly returned to the right track.
Without thinking, Maude continued to browse the newspaper.
The content of the report on another page pointed to the news of shaking fruit.
"Oh?"
Maude's sight immediately froze on a photo.
The person in the photo is Vice Admiral Wilgo of the Navy Headquarters.
But Maude knew that Vergo was the spy of Doflamingo in the navy.
"Shaking fruit... was eaten by this guy."
Maude narrowed his eyes slightly.
The shocking fruit that countless people looked forward to, finally appeared...
It's just that the way it appears is very unpleasant.
Luo looked at Maude, calmly said: "It happened that this guy ate the shocking fruit, Maude, what are you going to do?"
Maude did not answer Luo's question immediately, but continued to read the newspaper.
In addition to the huge changes in the navy headquarters and the report of shaking fruits.
This newspaper issued yesterday also published several other explosive news...
