Chapter 6 Delicious Devil Fruit

"Everyone on this island, please gather at the Central Street Square immediately..."

When this voice sounded in the sky, the bandits living in Mount Gorpo were enjoying their lunch.

Without Luffy, the kid with a big appetite, the workload of cooking every day will be reduced by half, and the difficulty of grabbing food will also be reduced by half.

After a flurry of activity, the bandits rubbed their round bellies and lay down on the ground happily.

"It's great, I had another full meal..."

"By the way, did you hear a strange sound just now? Something about gathering or something..."

"It seems so, but I didn't hear it clearly. Who would listen to this when they are fighting for food?"

"Oh, I don't know what's happening with Luffy. He eats so much. What if he's out there..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't mention Luffy!"

One of the bandits immediately turned over and covered the mouth of the person next to him, making a gesture to silence him.

In the house that suddenly became quiet, the bandits quietly stood up and looked cautiously at the burly figure sitting on the doorstep.

After Luffy left, their boss Dadan seemed like a different person.

After dinner, she often sat on the doorstep with her chin in her hand and stared blankly, as if she could see a disheveled boy running out of the forest, laughing and shouting for lunch.

"Oh..." Dadan sighed sadly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

It's really hard to adapt to the absence of that noisy boy...

No! There's nothing to be uncomfortable with. The boy has gone out to sea, and she should be happy. No one will torture them anymore!

That’s right, no one will torture them anymore!

Dadan suddenly stood up and walked towards the forest.

The bandits immediately followed.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Where else can we go? Of course, we should go hunting!" Dadan threw away the cigarette butt fiercely and stomped it out with his foot, showing the same bold momentum as before he met Garp.

"Leave a few of you to look after the house, and the rest of you come with me—we're having a party tonight to celebrate getting rid of our last burden!"

The bandits' eyes lit up.

The boss has obviously let it go!

After tonight, they will be able to see the former Boss Dadan tomorrow!

While the bandits were hunting with great enthusiasm, the villagers of Windmill Village, led by the village chief, climbed the mountain road to the central street square of the town.

They knew the mysterious captain's strength best, so after hearing the voice, they immediately decided to set off.

"I always have a bad feeling..."

"Why do we need to get that...something ID card? What does that mean?"

"And the name change. Did you hear him say that Goa Kingdom will be changed to Goa City?"

"We are a member of the government. How can we easily change our name?"

The buzzing noise in the team deepened the villagers' anxiety and restlessness.

Makino sighed and asked in confusion.

"What on earth does that man want to do?"

"You'll know when you get there. At least we're still alive. That's the best news."

The village chief comforted in a deep voice. At this moment, he was the calmest one in the team.

However, his composure was soon broken by what he saw after climbing over the mountain.

The villagers of Windmill Village stood on the top of the mountain in shock, looking at the scene below which was completely different from what they had expected, and were deeply shocked.

The garbage dumps are gone, replaced by large expanses of open, flat land and neatly stacked bricks.

Many people are busy in it.

Planning the layout, digging the foundation, transporting wood - the well-organized construction site makes it easy to tell that a new house is being built.

But this was not what shocked the villagers the most.

What shocked them even more was the disappearance of the huge city wall.

After it disappeared, the walled town came into clear view.

One villager was certain that when he entered the city yesterday, the city wall was still standing intact.

"Let's go." The village chief regained his composure and led the villagers to the terminal of uncertainty.

"What are you doing?"

Some villagers couldn't help but be curious and asked the people who were working.

The man turned his head and looked at me. His smile was filled with joy and was obviously very enthusiastic, but it made people feel strangely uneasy.

"The respected Captain Yale has allowed us to build our own house. We are no longer homeless people without an identity!"

"That's right, we are no longer homeless people without identities!"

"Are you here to apply for new ID cards? Go quickly, it's right in the square!"

"Yes, you can see it as soon as you get to the square. I hope you can take a satisfactory ID photo!"

Under the extremely enthusiastic guidance of these people, the villagers of Windmill Village entered the town without any city walls or checkpoints, and came to the big square on the central street.

It was extremely lively here, with many people lined up in dozens of rows in an orderly manner.

They didn't cut in line, argue or even get impatient; they just moved forward in an orderly manner.

This could be attributed to the kingdom's soldiers who were patrolling and maintaining order, as well as the fast pace at which the queue moved forward.

At the front of each line, there is a table. There is no one behind the table, only a metal ball floating above the table.

The sphere cracked open, revealing a camera that looked like an eyeball. It emitted a light blue light curtain, scanned the person up and down, and quickly spit out a freshly-made citizen ID card.

"Your new job is pastry chef. Please hand over your work to Soules, your replacement, today and report to Norton's Dessert Shop tomorrow."

"You are 13 years old. Please start attending the newly built comprehensive school starting tomorrow."

"Former occupation: Duanzhen street thug. Starting tomorrow, I'll be responsible for cleaning streets 1-5 in Dongcheng District for a year."

"Ha—cleaning?" The young man standing in front of the ball crushed the newly-issued ID card in his hand with a ferocious look on his face.

"I'm already doing you a favor by coming here to apply for an ID card, and you dare ask me to clean the place?!"

He suddenly threw a punch with a loud bang, and it seemed that he had the capital to bully others in Duan Town.

However, the metal ball nimbly dodged the fist, and the blue stripes flowing on the surface of the sphere instantly turned red.

"Attack intent detected, depriving this creature of its right to reside in Goa City—immediate expulsion!"

The next moment, the young gangster suddenly floated into the air, struggling and screaming, flying towards the sea not far away, until he disappeared into a small black dot, and finally even the black dot disappeared.

"This..." Makino didn't know what to say for a moment.

Her face turned pale, and she finally understood why everyone here was so orderly.

The scene just now must have happened many times before.

All the troublemakers disappeared at the end of the sea. How could the remaining people dare to cause trouble?

It's just an ID card, not a killing...

Comforting themselves in this way, they lined up at the end of the queue.

Number of people who have obtained ID cards: 5812/10283 (-41)

41 people have been thrown into the sea after resisting for various reasons.

Whether they can survive after that depends on how lucky they are.

In the palace hall, Yale sat on the throne and struck a handsome pose.

Adjust the angle of the metal ball floating in the air and take a photo.

"Perfect, respected Captain Yale!"

Yale took the photo paper it spit out, shook it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. Print this photo on a poster and stick it on the outer wall of the highest tower of the palace."

"I understand!" The metal ball shook and took the photo paper to find the former king who was on standby outside.

The other party has become Yale's loyal servant.

Although he was often so incompetent that he needed guidance, he was at least familiar with the castle and could be considered a tool to command the kingdom's nobles.

As this metal ball flew out, another metal ball flew in.

Behind them were soldiers carrying huge boxes.

"Respected Captain Yale, the treasure has been counted. Please review it."

One box after another was opened, and all the money looted from the palace and the homes of the nobles was brought into the hall.

Yale snapped his fingers, and the scattered gold and silver objects were immediately sorted and arranged neatly.

Not to mention Bailey.

Gold is together with gold, silver is together with silver, various jewelries are piled up in a pile, and there are also two devil fruits that are special products of this world.

Yale was quite curious about this thing.

He hooked his finger, and a fruit flew out of the box and floated into his hand.

This fruit with spiral patterns has an attractive color and looks delicious.

Yale took a bite without any burden. With a "click", the crisp flesh separated from the fruit and the sweet juice exploded in his mouth.

The captain, who was originally lying on the throne with his legs spread out, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight and looked at the bitten fruit in surprise.

He swallowed the pulp and took a second bite.

How could there be such delicious fruit?!

Yale, who never treated himself harshly, quickly finished the fruit in his hand and beckoned for the second one.

Different fruits.

Different taste.

The only thing is that they are all delicious!

Unfortunately, there was too little of it. It was gone just as it aroused Yale's desire to eat it.

Yale smacked his lips, raised his hand which was stained with juice, and washed it with the water that appeared out of nowhere.

His next goal was to find more devil fruits. It would be best if he could find seeds so that he could plant them in the starship and have an endless supply of devil fruits to eat in the future.

"Is this the ID card?"

Makino took the citizen ID card he had just obtained and looked around curiously.

The ID card was a hard card with her photo, name, date of birth, address, and a serial number on the front. The back should be the outline of the island of the Kingdom of Goa, now called Goa City.

"What's the use of that?"

As soon as Makino asked the question, a soldier waiting at the exit handed her a booklet.

The soldier explained, "The purpose of your ID card is all in this booklet. Please read it carefully and don't lose your ID easily."

The author has something to say:
