Island No. 47.
About a dozen people were walking slowly on the edge of the street without attracting anyone's attention. Even the ordinary people who noticed these people immediately withdrew their eyes.
Among these dozen people, many of them have a circular smiley face logo on their shoulders or back, which represents the logo of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After walking for a while.
More than a dozen people met a black-clothed man who had been waiting here for a long time in a dark corner.
"Did you bring it?"
Among the people of the Donquixote Family, the leader, Gladius, stepped forward and asked the black-clothed man in a deep voice.
The black-clothed man spread out his hands and said, "How can the boss let me carry such an important thing with me. I'm just here to meet you and then take you to the trading place we set."
"Well, you are really cautious."
Gladius snorted coldly.
The black-clothed man smiled and said, "After all, you are the famous Donquixote Family. We are just small people. Of course, we have to be very vigilant. Did you bring all the money?"
Gladius stared at the black-clothed man and his eyes flickered twice. He waved his hand and several members of the Donquixote Family behind him stepped forward and opened the box they were carrying. It was densely packed with the largest denomination of Berries.
"…"
The black-clothed man looked at the Berries in the box, showing a touch of greed. After swallowing his saliva, he said to Gladius, "400 million Berries and arms worth 500 million Berries, there are only Berries here."
Gladius said without changing his face, "It's impossible to trade so much arms here at once. You can take us to the trading place. Don't play any tricks!"
"Come on."
The black-clothed man smiled and said, "Our boss is ready to wait for you."
Under the leadership of the black-clothed man, Gladius and others put away the Berries with the money and left the dark alley and walked towards a dock somewhere on the shore.
As soon as they left, a figure in a cloak suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked in the direction where Gladius and the others had left with a slightly strange smile on his face.
"Ho ho ho ho, the Donquixote family, the next force to deal with … What is such a big deal?"
Just as Laffitte was about to follow, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly rang. He connected the Den Den Mushi, and Robin's voice came from the other side.
"… Well, I know, but I found something interesting here. A big deal with the Donquixote family may have unexpected gains."
Robin on the other side of Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment and relayed Ross's meaning: "Captain said you can move freely, pay attention to safety."
"Alright."
Laffitte raised the corner of his mouth and put the Den Den Mushi in his pocket, turned into a black shadow, and quietly followed Gladius and others.
Gladius and the others walked more and more remote, gradually walking toward the periphery of the island, but Laffitte's concealment and tracking ability was unquestionable. Even so, he still easily followed behind without being noticed by anyone.
Finally.
Gladius and the members of the Donquixote family came to a shore in the Sabaody Archipelago, where a medium-sized ship was parked alone on this remote shore.
"Boss, the people of the Donquixote family are here."
The leading man in black came to the side of the ship and shouted at the ship. Then he heard a sound of footsteps coming from the ship. Soon a man with a brown beard wearing a captain's hat and twenty subordinates came down from the ship, holding a wooden box in his hand.
Gladius stared at the wooden box in his opponent's hand and waved at his subordinates, asking them to open the box again and reveal a large number of berries inside.
"Well, 400 million Berries …"
The brown-bearded Captain looked at the boxes of Berries and his eyes flashed with greed. He could not help but smile. He slowly opened the wooden box in front of him.
In the worn-out wooden box, there is a Devil Fruit. Its appearance is quite different from that of Zoan and Paramecia. The whole body is khaki and it seems to be covered with sand.
Logia … Sand Sand Fruit!
It has been nearly two years since the death of the Sand Crocodile, and this Logia Devil Fruit has finally appeared on the sea again!
The Donquixote Family's trade in the dark world spreads all over the sea. After Ace's death, they can find the Burning Fruit and naturally they can find the Sand Sand Fruit!
"This is Logia's, Sand Sand Fruit."
Gladius looked at the delicate Devil Fruit and his eyes twinkled. Although he had already eaten the explosive fruit of Paramecia, he still showed a very serious and solemn look for this Logia Sand Sand Fruit worth 900 million.
If they can get this Devil Fruit, the Donquixote Family can easily cultivate another cadre or even the top cadre and expand their power.
"So, deal."
Gladius took a deep breath and motioned to his subordinates to hand over the money and at the same time reached for the Sand Sand Fruit in the wooden box.
Whether the next step is to directly turn against them, overturn the deal and recapture Berries, or complete the deal like this, this fruit is the most important and he must get it first.
However.
Just as Gladius reached for the Sand Sand Fruit, a thumb-sized cylindrical object suddenly flew over from a distance and landed in the field.
Boom!
Before the thing fell, it suddenly burst open and turned into a cloud of fog in an instant, covering the area of tens of meters in an instant.
The brown-bearded Captain was shocked and subconsciously wanted to take back the wooden box in his hand. Gladius saw this and immediately stepped forward and grabbed it.
But.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the wooden box, a mahogany cane suddenly emerged from the fog and slammed the wooden box out of the brown-bearded man's hand and hit the back of his hand.
Gladius felt a pain on the back of his hand and his eyes flashed with anger.
Who?!
How dare you intervene in the transaction of the Donquixote Family!
In anger, Gladius did not retreat. His fingers shook and he threw a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, covering the area.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent explosion roared in the field and instantly dispersed the smoke, which was also mixed with the screams of the people who were accidentally injured, but Gladius couldn't care so much anymore. The Sand Sand Fruit must not be taken away!
While bombing the man who dared to rob the Sand Sand Fruit, Gladius leaped through the smoke and rushed to the wooden box that was thrown into the air. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the wooden box.
"Dare to destroy the business of the Donquixote Family …"
Grabbing the wooden box in his hand, Gladius's face returned to indifference and he snorted coldly and looked down at the area he had bombed.
The fog dissipated and there was no figure in the area, only cherry blossom petals.
"It's quite fast to escape!"
Gladius's eyes flashed with cold light, and he slowly looked at the wooden box in his hand and slowly opened the wooden box.
But at the moment when the wooden box was opened, the expression on his face stiffened instantly.
The wooden box was empty, and the Devil Fruit had long since disappeared. Instead, there were three pink cherry blossom petals, echoing the cluster of petals on the ground, as if laughing at him for being an idiot.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!! "
"Who is it, who the hell is it?!"
Gladius's face was livid as he gritted his teeth. His face showed a fierce and furious expression. He almost activated his Devil Fruit ability to blow up this area, but no matter how he looked, he could not find any trace.
