At this time, Nami and Robin also rushed over, just in time to see Bellamy confronting Rhine and his gang. Both of them were holding boxes of "medicine" in their hands. Nami's face changed slightly, and she said in astonishment, "That guy is the scumbag who was defeated by Luffy before."
As soon as Nami finished speaking, Bellamy's two calves turned into springs and then tightened together, making a crunching compression sound. That's his Devil Fruit ability!
Boom!
The next second, with the sound of an explosion, Bellamy burst out at a speed invisible to ordinary people and punched Burgess. "Spring Sniper!"
His speed was impressive, but only for the average person.
"Roll!"
Under the sense of his Observation Haki, Burgess didn't even need to look at Bellamy. He directly kicked with his large foot, sending Bellamy flying like a billiard ball. In an anticlimactic scene, Bellamy crashed into the ruined tavern behind him. The other pirates gathered in town were stunned. They had seen Bellamy being beaten by Luffy and Doflamingo in a row before, but they didn't expect another defeat so soon!
"Weihahaha! Captain, can I take this girl with me? Is that okay?" Although Burgess felt that Rhine had enjoyed Nami and Robin, two top beauties, he still asked for his permission out of respect.
Rhine's reaction was exactly as he expected. There's no way Rhine would be interested in something like this. If he wants a girl, he will choose the best. Someone like Hancock, Kozuki Toki, or Yamato.
Seeing that Rhine agreed, Burgess bared his teeth and showed an impatient silver smile. He then lifted one of the girl crew members of the Bellamy Pirates from the ground and said with a smile, "Hey! Augur, don't say that your brother didn't take care of you, this is for you!"
Rhine rolled his eyes, looking at the woman. Uh... except for her figure, the rest were unsightly and absolutely mediocre. She belonged to the kind of woman you would never give a second glance to in a crowd. The two in Burgess's arms were at least decent in appearance. Give the worst to bro, huh? Van Augur gave Burgess a contemptuous glance and walked to the other side of the street. He'd better go to a prostitute to solve his needs.
"Tch, you're too picky," Burgess pouted. "I'll give you three hours. After three hours, go back to the ship and get ready to go to Sky Island," Rhine ordered.
"Three hours? Captain, you underestimate me!" Burgess grinned, grabbed the two female pirates from the Bellamy Pirates, and went into a hotel next door.
Rhine stroked his chin. The two female pirates were not going to be pierced to death, right? After all, Burgess's body is... a bit big.
When the word "Sky Island" was heard, the surrounding pirates widened their eyes in astonishment. They couldn't help but think back to a few months ago when Luffy also said he wanted to go to Sky Island. At that time, the gang of pirates headed by Bellamy laughed at Luffy and his crew, beating him and Zoro violently. But this time, no one dared to laugh at Rhine and the others because they knew well. Once they dared to laugh, they would share the fate of the Bellamy Pirates lying on the ground.
"Hmph! Bullying the weak and fearing the strong!" Nami said with contempt. You know, when Luffy and Zoro told this story, they were beaten badly. As for Rhine and others, this group of people dare not talk.
"That's the nature of a pirate, Nami," Robin said calmly. In fact, Rhine had never understood why Luffy didn't fight back after being laughed at by Bellamy's group. They were strong; why did they let them laugh at them? There is simply something wrong.
Immediately after, Rhine asked Doc Q and Lafitte to purchase a large amount of supplies, while Perona was holding a large stack of desserts and cocoa powder.
"Okay, let's go back." Rhine came over and patted Nami and Robin. The two women felt numb all over, and then glared at him with murderous eyes.
Not long after Rhine and the others returned to the Sunny, Burgess and Van Augur also returned with a look of relief.
"The two girls are not dead, are they?" Rhine teased.
"Captain, I'm not that crazy. I even left all the Berry in my body for their medical expenses," Burgess replied.
Medical fees? Good, it seems that their injury is not that serious.
"How many berries?" asked Van Augur casually.
"100 Berry."
Hearing this answer, even Nami and Robin, who were hostile, couldn't help but roll their eyes wildly. Good lord, it's only worth 2 choppers.
"Captain, that Bellamy's ability is not bad. Don't you think it's suitable for Burgess?" Lafitte suddenly suggested.
"Oh? You really mean it when you say that," Rhine nodded. The Spring Fruit belongs to the direct attack type, and it really feels like a hand-to-hand combat type like Burgess.
"Hey, no captain," Burgess waved his hands again and again. "Please give me a stronger ability. I don't want that kind of weak ability."
Even though that Devil Fruit is suitable for Burgess, among the many Devil Fruits, the potential can only be ranked in the middle or even the lower middle level. Burgess didn't want to eat that stuff.
While Nami and Robin placed the newly purchased food next to Luffy, they secretly listened to Rhine's group's conversation. When Lafitte suggested that Rhine transfer Bellamy's fruit ability to Burgess, Robin frowned. Transfer? Are Devil Fruit's abilities transferable? She had never heard of such a thing. Could it be... is that man's unique ability? Robin focused her eyes on Rhine.
"Let's go, to Sky Island." Rhine didn't intend to waste any more time. Go to Sky Island first and get Enel's Thunder Fruit. Then give Luffy to the World Government.
Before, Lafitte used his flying ability to take Doc Q to Sky Island. But with such a large group of people now, it is obviously impossible to use this trick again. They can only follow the previous practice of the Straw Hat Pirates and use the upwelling current to go to Sky Island.
...
While Rhine and his group were busy hunting Devil Fruits everywhere, the sea had already begun to become chaotic.
First up is New World.
Aboard the Moby Dick, the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates known all over the world.
"That Teach guy is dead!?" Hearing Ace's narration, many crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates around, even including Whitebeard himself, all showed more or less shocked expressions.
"Ace, you actually managed to kill him?" Marco patted Ace on the shoulder and laughed.
However, Whitebeard looked serious. To be honest, he didn't believe that Ace could kill that Teach guy from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, the redhead wouldn't have come all the way to ask him to recall Ace. Whitebeard feared that once Ace was defeated by Teach, it would cause unpredictable consequences.
Then, sure enough, it was exactly as Whitebeard expected. Ace shook his head and replied, "No, it's not me. It's actually..." Ace recounted his previous experience on Banaro Island to everyone.
"Rhine? I've never heard of such a character," Marco put his arms around his chest, frowned, and asked, "Is he strong?"
Ace recalled, frowning, and said, "To be honest, I don't think it's weak at best. He can barely reach the level of our captain. He only killed Teach when he was exhausted after fighting me."
"Since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about. Let's hold a banquet together! Celebrate that Teach, the traitor, has finally been purged!" Vista came over, laughed, and said to everyone.
"Oh oh oh!!!" More than a thousand people danced excitedly. Ace wanted to tell them that the man had acquired Teach's Fruit, but he didn't have time to speak. Noticing that Ace hesitated to speak, Whitebeard showed a kind smile.
"Son, just enjoy it now!"
Anyway, Ace returned safely. That's definitely something to be thankful for, Whitebeard thought. They could talk in the future.
"I, I see, Dad," Ace forced a smile back. To be honest, this time he could be regarded as walking through the gates of hell. If Rhine hadn't come at that time, he would have been captured by Teach. He couldn't imagine how terrible the consequences would be. However, Ace fell into the festive atmosphere of the banquet. He didn't want to think about anything at the moment.
But little did he know, his beloved younger brother was suffering the torture on his behalf!
...
On the other side, after more than half a month of wandering, the remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates, headed by Zoro, came to Water 7 on Rhine's boat. This was definitely a blessing in misfortune. They met Iceberg, the mayor of Water 7 and Franky's fellow apprentice. Iceberg immediately took them in and hid them, so they were not discovered by the Marines or the government.
"I didn't expect that not only Mr. Luffy was arrested, but even the Sunny was robbed," Iceberg frowned and asked Zoro and the others, "What are you going to do next?"
"Of course, we will find a way to rescue Luffy and the others!" Zoro said without hesitation.
"Do you know where they went?" Iceberg asked back. As soon
As soon as these words were spoken, Zoro and the others were left speechless.
"All in all, you are recuperating well here now, and slowly think about countermeasures," Iceberg comforted them.
Boom boom boom—
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Iceberg turned and opened it. Those who could enter this place were all people he trusted most, so he assumed it wouldn't be Marines or government personnel.
However, when Iceberg opened the door, he was taken aback because he didn't know the person standing in front of him. Iceberg subconsciously tried to close the door, but the person's speed was unexpectedly fast. In less than two seconds, she became an afterimage.
Zoro and the others looked up to see a woman with short orange hair, about 20 years old, with an excellent figure and a pretty face.
"Who are you!?" Iceberg asked in a panic.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Iceberg, I am not from the government or the Marines," the young woman smiled slightly and said to the Straw Hat crew, "Please let me introduce myself. My name is Koala."
