Chapter 98 Fruit Chooses Its Master (First Order Request!) (Ch 98)

Jasmine stretched out two fingers and shook them at Fan Oka, with a proud expression on her face.
“Even the monsters from the Grand Line are no match for Mr. Gawain~”
After saying that.
Under Fan Oka’s dull gaze, Jasmine placed two fruit baskets between the cat brothers.
Bu Zhi picked up one of them and was about to put it in his mouth when he stopped and couldn’t help but said:
“Isn’t that a matter of course?”
“Captain Gawain is like this. You never know when he will bring out a new trump card or demonstrate a powerful force beyond imagination.”
Sam nodded:
“Ah, I’m used to it, I’m used to it.”
The cat brothers were not surprised by this, because in their minds.
Gawain is the strongest.
No matter who the enemy is, no matter what the difficulty is, as long as Gawain is here, we can overcome it!
The same is true for Jasmine, who experienced two wars in Raven Harbor.
Only Fan Oka on the side opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had fought Ratched before.
Therefore, he also knew how powerful the other party was.
Even without the devil fruit, those two were already powerful enough to roam the East China Sea with their physical skills alone. With the cat-cat fruit, which greatly boosts physical strength, they were even more powerful.
At least in Fan Oka’s memory, he couldn’t find anyone in the East China Sea who could fight with Ratchet, not even the former fishman Aaron and Admiral Creek…
Wait, it seems that these two people were also killed by Gawain? !
Until now.
Fan Oka suddenly realized that all the powerful beings in the East China Sea in his memory seemed to have been defeated by Gawain.
He couldn’t help but sigh:
“Ahhhh~”
“This is fate!”
“Now I have even less reason to refuse that guy’s invitation.”
Sam was slightly stunned:
“The captain invited you on board?”
During this period, the pirates in the waters near Raven Harbor were basically dealt with by the cat brothers and Zangao, while Fan Oka was responsible for the security of the port.
The two sides cooperated seamlessly and gradually recognized each other’s abilities.
Hearing that Gawain had invited Fan Oka, the cat brothers couldn’t help but smile happily:
“You kid~”
“You’ve come at the right time. If you were a few months later, you would have to wait until next year to get the profit share from the pirate group.”
“Dividend rights?”
Fan Oka wondered:
“What is that?”
Bu Zhi scratched his scalp and explained:
“The rules are complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words.”
“but.”
“You can understand it as a martial arts tournament to determine the combat power ranking within the team. The higher the ranking, the more you can get!”
Fan Oka’s breathing became visibly rapid.
He didn’t know how much the Gawain Pirates could earn in a year, but he knew how influential the Gawain Pirates were now.
With the downfall of large pirate groups such as Creek and Arlong, the Gawain Pirates became the undisputed overlords of the East China Sea.
In addition, this incident will spread quickly, and by then, the reputation of the Gawain Pirates in the East China Sea will skyrocket to another level.
The positive kind!
After all, in order to protect the forces under its control, it did not hesitate to fight against the monsters coming down from the Grand Line, and even prevented them from leaving the East China Sea.
Even the navy may not be able to do this, but the Gawain Pirates can.
It can be said that after this incident, as long as Gawain is willing to offer a price, countless town managers and East China Sea nobles will offer Bailey or even gold in exchange for his protection.
Van Oka had never dared to imagine that he could earn money just by lying at home.
According to the cat brothers, as long as they take the top few places in the pirate group, they will get a share of the profits of the following year.
Fan Oka’s eyes turned red:
“Everyone, please give me your guidance from now on!”
Sudden.
Fan Oka noticed the strange-shaped fruit in Sam’s hand and was startled:
“etc–!”
Click!
Click!
After two crisp sounds in succession.
Sam and Butch only felt an indescribable taste rushing into their mouths, sticking to their tongues and stimulating their taste buds.
The faces of the two men turned blue and purple in an instant. They opened their mouths and tried to heave, but nothing came out.
“Is this fruit expired?”
Buzhi stuck out his tongue, using the cool air passing through his mouth to relieve the bad taste in his mouth. He looked down and found that he only had a half-bitten exotic fruit in his hand.
“What is this?”
Sam looked at the fruit in his hand, 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 confused for a moment:
“I clearly remember not buying any fruit like this, only some apples and oranges. How could it be…”
The three of them were confused.
Fan Oka’s voice came:
“That must be the legendary devil fruit. I didn’t expect to see it here.”
As soon as his voice fell, the cat-man brothers sitting on the hospital bed next to him changed.
The bodies of the two men expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths they turned into two huge cats, almost filling the entire ward.
Fan Oka was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the suddenly grown Buzhi, leaving him no room to struggle.
Jasmine was quick-witted and ran to the door just as the two of them changed, avoiding being affected.
She looked back into the house again, and saw two big cats, one fat and one thin, huddled together in a daze.
Jasmine immediately realized what was happening:
“Lion and Cheetah?! What you ate was a devil fruit?!”
A few minutes later, the noise in the ward gradually died down, and only two desperate voices were heard:
“It’s over. I’ve become a landlubber!”
The wound on Fan Oka’s body almost burst, and he grimaced in pain, but he did not forget to remind:
“That’s a devil fruit worth hundreds of millions of berries, and this ability seems to be the ability of the two pirates who came down from the Grand Line.”
“how so?!”
The cat brothers were not concerned about this at all. When they heard the shocking figures from Fan Oka’s mouth, they felt so painful that they couldn’t breathe:
“I just ate hundreds of millions of Baileys? Is it too late for me to spit it out now?”
Fan Oka rolled his eyes:
“What do you think…”
“Woo woo woo woo~”
“It hurts, it hurts so much!”
…
At the same time.
What happened in the East China Sea was also delivered to the headquarters’ desk through the East China Sea Navy’s report.
A group of senior naval officials are now gathered in a conference room in Marineford.
Fireworks rise.
Everyone looked at the report in their hands, and the expressions on their faces became solemn.
“I have some impression of Smoger. He is also a graduate of the Naval Academy and an outstanding marine who ranks among the top.”
“Although his personality is too strong and he often disobeys orders from his superiors, his strength is still acceptable.”
“Even he was defeated? And in the most peaceful sea area of ​​the East China Sea? It seems that this time, a dragon will really emerge from the shallow waters.”
“But the Navy cannot just watch the seeds of evil take root and sprout.”
