Everyone didn't know Kujaku, they just knew she was a friend brought up by Big Sister Ain.
Seeing the mysterious little box in her hand, everyone looked at Luffy curiously, wanting to know what he was going to announce.
Luffy didn't hide anything, he pulled Kujaku in front of him and introduced her to everyone:
"This is Captain Kujaku, a friend I have known since childhood and a new member of the guerrillas squad."
No one had any objection to the captain recruiting new members.
Everyone was about to applaud and welcome the new members, but they heard Luffy continue:
"It's not over yet. Captain Kujaku not only joined the guerrillas, but also gave me a devil fruit.
I called everyone here today not only to celebrate my promotion, but also to discuss the distribution of this fruit."
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the bar.
This is a precious devil fruit, and it was given away just like that.
This Captain was really generous.
After a brief surprise, Binz was the first to shake his head.
"I am already a devil fruit user, so this thing has little to do with me.
But can I ask, what kind of fruit is this?"
"Hehe, anyway, it's better than your Grow Grow Fruit."
Luffy teased Binz with a smile, and he was so angry that he almost danced on the spot.
After the joke, Luffy was no longer naughty. He took the small box from Kujaku's arms and took out a devil fruit with a yellowish color and a pair of small horns sticking out.
Seeing this strange-looking fruit, many people swallowed their saliva.
This is a secret treasure of the sea. The starting price at the auction is at least 100 million.
For most of them, this is the first time they have seen the real thing.
"Damn it, are we going to eat a devil fruit that can give us magical powers?
If I eat it, can I become a brave sea warrior?"
Usopp said eagerly, and he bumped into Zoro and Sanji beside him and asked them:
"Do you want to eat this fruit?"
Zoro crossed his arms and snorted disdainfully:
"Humph, I don't need this kind of thing, the sword in my hand is enough."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Usopp had to look at Sanji.
Sanji put his hand on his chin and looked at the fruit carefully, then shook his head in disappointment, and said regretfully:
"This is not what I want. If I don't have that ability, I won't eat any other fruit no matter how precious it is."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Usopp didn't understand what Sanji meant, but he didn't want to ask any more questions, and returned his attention to Luffy's hand.
Although he wanted it very much, he also knew that with so many people competing in the squad, his chances of getting the fruit were slim.
Luffy saw everyone's expressions, he held up the devil fruit high, and said loudly:
"I don't know if you have heard that there are two special categories in the zoan.
One is the mythical zoan that can transform into various mythical creatures and master various elements like that of logia.
The other is the ancient zoan that is not so magical, but can transform into various ancient creatures and possess stronger power and recovery than the general zoan.
And the one in my hand is the extremely precious Dragon Dragon Fruit model: Carnotaurus among the ancient species!"
The short words exploded in everyone's minds like Lightning from the ground.
Then everyone looked at the held-up devil fruit with fiery eyes.
Even Binz, who has become a devil fruit user, is no exception.
"Captain, are you sure you want to give us this fruit?"
Bill swallowed his saliva and stuttered.
Luffy nodded as a matter of course, "Nonsense, I am already a devil fruit user, what's the use of this to me."
As he said, he put the fruit down and handed it forward, saying:
"If anyone wants it, please come forward. This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it this time, you may not be able to get such good thing next time."
Bill was the first to raise his hand.
"Captain, I, I, I want it!"
After he finished speaking, the others reacted and almost half of them raised their hands.
Of course, there were those who wanted it and those who didn't.
Gavin shook his head and took the initiative to walk aside.
Binz looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion:
"Gavin, don't you want to eat this fruit?"
"No, the devil fruit's weakness toward seawater is too fatal....
Moreover, eating the fruit does not immediately give you great power. It will take a long time for the user to develop it.
Instead of adding a weakness to myself and wasting time, I might as well hone my physical skills.
You know, Pirate King Roger and Luffy's grandfather Vice Admiral Garp are not devil fruit users."
Gavin clearly analysed the pros and cons of eating the fruit.
He also used Pirate King Roger and Hero Garp as examples.
Many people gave up the idea of eating the fruit.
"Forget it, I'll give up. I haven't even figured out what Haki yet, and eating devil fruits will only be a distraction to me."
A team member expressed his thoughts, and many others echoed him.
"Yes, I still believe more in the Sword in my hand. When I become a great swordsman, a mere devil fruit user will be nothing more than that."
As one person after another withdrew, there were only 12 people left on the field.
Among these 12 people, Cook was also among them.
He looked at the devil fruit eagerly, clenched his fists excitedly, and murmured:
"The ancient zoan that can increase physical fitness and recovery ability is a perfect match for me.
'If I eat this, I can truly become an invincible cockroach.
By then, if I fight someone on the same lever or higher, if I don't manage to defeat them, at least I can tire my opponent to death!'
Mumbling to himself, he immediately asked Luffy with uncontrollable excitement:
"Captain, just tell me, how are we going to distribute the fruit?"
'I knew this guy would not miss this opportunity.'
Luffy glanced at him and threw the fruit to him.
Cook caught it in a hurry, holding the precious fruit and looking at him blankly.
"You decide among yourselves, and tell me the result after discussing it."
After saying that, Luffy stopped paying attention, turned around, hugged Ain and Hina, and went to the side to drink and celebrate.

=========================
On that day, in order to obtain the ownership of this devil fruit.
A fierce fight began within the guerrilla's squad.
The means of fighting included arm wrestling, throwing darts, rolling dice, guessing riddles, and drinking competitions.
In the end, everyone was having so much fun that even Binz joined in.
Cook, who really wanted to get the fruit, was under great pressure.
In the end, he relied on his luck and unwillingness to admit defeat, and drank everyone except Luffy, and successfully won the ownership of the fruit.
Looking at Cook, who was already drunk and couldn't wait to eat the fruit that was even more unpalatable than a shit, he squatted in the corner and started vomiting.
Luffy shook his head, found the owner of the bar, paid the money including the cleaning fee, and asked him to send all the drunks back.
Looking at the generous reward in hand, the boss patted his chest and accepted the commission without hesitation.
After watching everyone being carried out, Luffy called the four girls home.
After returning home and taking a comfortable hot bath, Luffy came to the living room wearing gray cat pajamas that were extremely inconsistent with his image.
As soon as he sat on the sofa, he complained unhappily:
"Who bought this? Can't you buy something a little more normal?
I'm a Rear Admiral after all, what happen to my face if someone sees me like this?"
At this time, the four girls did not quarrel for the first time. Instead, they gathered together, spread a bunch of strange cosmetics on the coffee table, and exchanged their experiences.
Nami looked up and saw Luffy's clothes, and she couldn't help laughing.
However, she was very unhappy about Luffy's dissatisfaction, and asked with her hands on her waist:
"This is what Sister Hina and I chose together. Do you have any objections?"
"Yes, and I have a lot of opinions." Luffy said bluntly.
Nami made a cross with both hands, stuck out her pink tongue and made a face
"The protest is invalid!"
After saying that, she laughed.
The other three girls also laughed secretly and chose to stand on Nami's side.
Luffy looked at the four girls helplessly, put his hand on the backrest, and wondered:
"No, how come you two are so close?
Weren't you keeping your distance from each other and not talking to each other last night?"
This question was answered by Ain, who thought she was the eldest sister in the family.
"That's because we feel that it's not worth it to make the relationship too awkward for someone.
So after negotiation, we decided to get along with each other in a friendly way.
At least, that's the case when it comes to matters other than core interests."
"Core interests? For example?"
Ain blushed, snorted and turned her head away.
At this time, Kujaku took over,"For example, our sleeping arrangement~"
As she said that, she moved her body and wanted to get into Luffy's arms.
"No way!"*3
The three girls retorted in unison, and pulled back the abominable girl who wanted to sneak a victory.
After being pressed back to his original position by the three girls, Kujaku winked at Luffy, and everything was self-explanatory.
Luffy understood instantly, and looking at the four beautiful women in cool clothes playing together, he coughed reluctantly and interrupted:
"Ahem, okay, stop messing around and let's get down to business."
It turns out that the truce agreement signed by the four girls was not in vain.
After Luffy spoke, they immediately stopped, sat down on both sides, and waited for Luffy to speak.
Luffy didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly:
"The Fleet Admiral's mission has been given, and the headquarters is about to summon all the seven warlords to teach them a lesson about the Crocodile incident.
We have also been assigned a serious mission.
We need to go to the Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt.
Invite the country's current emperors, the Pirate Queen Boa Hancock, to attend the meeting.
This time the Fleet Admiral has given a death order, even if we all die there, we have to make her go to the headquarters."
As he spoke, the expressions of the women became more and more serious.
Nami leaned into Ain's arms with a worried and scared look on her face, and said:
"No way, is this Empress so powerful? Even Luffy is no match for her?"
"How can I put this into words?" Luffy rubbed his chin, feeling a little embarrassed.
"In terms of strength, Hancock is indeed one of the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But her real power is not her strength, the most terrifying thing is her peerless beauty that attracts both men and women!"
"Eh?!!"
Nami opened her mouth and looked confused.
'What does this mean? What's wrong with being beautiful? I'm beautiful too, what's so great about that?'
Nami didn't know much about Hancock, so she didn't understand the deep meaning of Luffy's words.
But Ain, Hina, and Kujaku had heard about it before, and their faces immediately became serious.
However, their seriousness was not directed at Hancock, but at Luffy, with a look of vigilance and suspicion.
As the woman who knows Luffy best, Ain spoke directly.
"Why did the Fleet Admiral arrange for you to pick up the Empress? Tell me, is this your own request?"
Hina frowned, snorted, and squinted at Luffy with disgust as if he were looking at trash, saying disdainfully:
"He must have had his eyes on the legendary world's most beautiful woman and deliberately accepted this task.
Pervert, Hina sees through you!"
Kujaku narrowed her eyes and stared at Luffy. she didn't speak at the first time, but after making a small calculation in his mind, she smiled and said:
"If you want to go, go ahead. If you can really bring that empress in to be our sister, I have no objection."
Ain and the other two looked at her in surprise and wanted to refute her angrily.
But Kujaku continued:
"But it's not that I look down on you. It is rumoured that the Empress is a very arrogant woman.
If you really do it, I will have no objection to you finding any other woman in the future.
Even in the future, when you do things with other women, it's okay for me to help you."
After she finished speaking, the three girls looked at her blankly, not understanding why she was crazy.
Luffy also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he didn't rush, and continued to ask cautiously:
"Are you making a bet with me? What if I can't do it?"
"Haha, you can see it this way.", Kujaku chuckled and nodded to confirm
"If you can't do it, it's very simple. You don't need to look for other women in the future.
The four of us plus that little princess are all you have. You can never have any more affairs with other women."
