The next day.
Dusk fell.
A streak of fiery light cut through the red clouds in the sky and landed on the Golden Temple Square of the Island of God, leaving behind a long tail.
It was Archino.
In just a little more than a day, all the leaders of the richest group had arrived.
Archino was the last one.
Archino pushed open the golden door carved with dragons and phoenixes. He came back just in time for dinner.
"Haha!"
"Old Dutton, we're waiting for you!"
At the dining table, Ivankov faced the door and swirled the red wine glass in his hand.
The others only glanced at him. As Archino sat down, the dinner continued.
At the head of the table, Kaos maintained his normal state, burning with evil flames and flashing with black-red lightning. Even when he was eating, he was cultivating Life Return, Tricolor Haki, and even the Gold-Gold Fruit.
An hour later, the dining table was cleared.
There was only red wine or some fruits and snacks left in front of everyone. They all sat lazily on the golden chairs and waited for the round table meeting.
"Ahem!"
Kaos coughed and attracted everyone's attention, indicating that he was about to speak.
"After the hard work of our group's beautiful Ms. Stussy, sexy Ms. Belo Betty, and lucky Ms. Bakala, all the measures in Golden City have been prepared. We're just waiting to throw it into the sea.
The three of you have worked hard for the past eight months.
Without the three ladies' efforts, the Richest Group wouldn't exist today.
Your contributions can't go unnoticed.
Applause! "
Kaos clapped and praised Stussy, Betty, and Bakala for their work!
The others couldn't refute him and clapped as well.
"Hahaha!"
"Low profile, low profile, I've only done 60%."
Betty wasn't modest at all. She clapped her hands proudly.
She enjoyed Kaos' praise.
Moreover, he took most of the credit on his shoulders. Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
If it was Stussy and the others, they wouldn't have said anything. But Betty …
She wasn't bragging. At most, she used 30%.
She didn't even use 30% because Bakala took at least one and a half or two points.
As the one who contributed the most, Stussy just drank her red wine silently and smiled like a spring breeze. She couldn't be bothered to argue with Betty, this stupid woman.
Justice was in everyone's heart.
Stussy didn't fight, but that didn't mean that Bakala would just watch.
Therefore ~
"You're just bragging. Sixty percent of your strength? Do you think I and this silly woman are just decorations?"
"Who's the one who goes to work late every day? I'm the one who's doing all the work! "
Barbara expressed her dissatisfaction and mercilessly exposed Betty's lack of seriousness and laziness at work!
She had endured it for a long time.
She had suffered a lot in the past eight months because most of the work should have been done by this stupid woman. However, this stupid woman bullied her because she had just started working. She gave orders blindly and acted arrogantly.
Relying on the fact that he knew more than him, his arrogant face could be said to have angered both men and gods.
As a result, the two of them had sparred many times.
"Bullshit!"
Betty's face fell when she was exposed.
She turned around and glared at Barbara. She had been unhappy with this idiotic woman for a long time.
She had never lost an argument before.
Who's afraid of who?
If you're not convinced, then let's fight.
Seeing that the two were about to fight for 300 rounds, Kaos rubbed his forehead and knocked on the table.
"It's not too late for you to quarrel after the meeting. We are in a meeting now. Please respect everyone present."
"Please be serious!"
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
Barbara and Betty snorted coldly and sat down proudly without looking at each other.
"The contributions of the three of you are obvious to all."
"As a member of the group, it's necessary for everyone to toast you. Come on."
Kaos motioned to Klokdal and the others and everyone toasted together.
"That's more like it!"
Betty's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she was in a good mood.
Stussy also smiled, and Bacca downed the red wine in her glass.
"Now let's talk about your harvest in the past eight months."
After praising Stussy and the others, Kaos continued to look at Enel and the others.
As early as when planning the "Golden City Opening Ceremony" celebration, Kaos told Enel and the others to find more Devil Fruits or rare treasures when they went out to play and use them to auction on the opening ceremony.
He even envisioned that there would be a Gladiator Arena on that day.
Kaos is going to take out 100 billion Bailey's worth of gold to reward the top three in the Gladiator Arena.
In short, he had to make this opening ceremony lively. Even if it was not unprecedented, it had to be shocking and high-profile. He could not lose face as the Golden Emperor.
"It's better for me to report this!"
Barbara stroked the hair on her forehead. Before dinner, she had already selected the spoils that Enel and Klokdal had brought back in the past eight months.
She took out a list from nowhere and pretended to cough before continuing.
"Let's talk about the Devil Fruits first."
"There are a total of 10 ordinary Zoan fruits, including the original 4 in the inventory."
"They are Brown Bear Fruits.
Bright Mouse Fruits.
Weasel Fruits.
Antelope Fruits.
Lion Fruits.
Camel Fruits.
Squirrel Fruits.
Sea Lion Fruits.
Macaque Fruits.
Pangolin Fruits. "
Kaos took out a cigarette and lit it. He was more or less surprised. He didn't expect Klokdal and the others to be so awesome and bring back so many Devil Fruits.
In addition, Kaos had an impression of the Brown Bear, Bright Mouse, Weasel, and Antelope Fruits. They were auctioned at the auction held by the King of Shipping, Ummet.
He hadn't used them yet.
If Barbara hadn't counted them out today, he would have forgotten about them.
If he hadn't forgotten, he might have used them.
For example, for Stussy's Three Beauties.
"Then there are the insect species.
There are 4.
They are Praying Mantis Fruits.
Fly Fruit.
Centipede Fruit.
Bumblebee Fruit.
There are also 5 Ancient Species.
Saber-Toothed Tiger Fruit.
Stegosaurus Fruit.
Double Crown Dragon Fruit.
Marsupial Lion Fruit.
Dire Wolf Fruit.
There are also 5 Devil Fruits of the Paramecia.
Taste Fruit.
Molten Fruit.
Whisper Fruit.
Pseudo Berry Fruit.
Pseudo Sulfuric Fruit.
Finally, there are two Logia Fruits.
They are Swamp Fruit and Oil Fruit.
There are a total of 26 Devil Fruits. "
When Barbara finished reporting the Devil Fruits, Kaos took a puff of his cigarette and was really shocked.
The same was true for Klokdal and others. They didn't expect to find so many Devil Fruits in just eight months.
You know, this is a treasure of the sea.
It's not a rotten fruit.
Some people have never heard of it in their life, let alone seen or eaten it.
It's really a big deal to have 26 Devil Fruits all at once.
"Did you rob all the major forces?"
Kaos looked at Klokdal and the others strangely. He couldn't think of where these Cruel Wolves found so many Devil Fruits.
Among them, there are several very powerful Devil Fruits.
"Is there a problem?"
"Didn't you say that you want to collect more Devil Fruits?"
Enel said lightly. If it wasn't for robbing some pirate groups or kingdom forces, where would they find so many?
Is there any other shortcut besides robbing?
“OK？”
Kaos is very satisfied. In just eight months, I managed to collect 26 Devil Fruits. This is already an unexpected surprise and a pleasant surprise. These are Devil Fruits, not some other kind of fruit.
