Chapter 197 What does a devil fruit taste like?

[Interlude·Lin Qi, when you wake up·"If you can't be the Pirate King, you can only be a Shichibukai"]

[New World. Moria, who caused the pirate rebellion, was severely taught a lesson by the Kaido Pirates and was almost wiped out. Taking advantage of the chaos to steal some famous swords and corpses, Moria left the so-called natural chasm and closed-off Wano Country with hatred... Soon, the Navy's Shichibukai recruitment order came. Moria happily accepted the title, and kept silent about the information about Wano Country that the Navy wanted, but he wanted to go back to the West Sea recently...]

After a while, the female warriors of the Nine Snakes came from all over.

Seeing the tragic situation in the woods on the shore, they were shocked and couldn't believe it. What kind of strange bear could have created such a mess? Could it be a sea king that came ashore? A sea king with bear-like characteristics? ………………

At the same time, in another place of Nine Snake Island.

Robin appeared almost out of thin air.

Before landing, an invisible force left a huge bear paw print on the ground with a "bang", and the gentle recoil force lifted her up and then she fell to the ground safely.

“…”

Robin was speechless and sat up in the pit.

Then, there were two consecutive "whoosh" and "bang" sounds, and Lynch was hit and fell in a big bear paw print pit.

"..." Robin was watching him from the next pit.

Lynch sat up, "You don't have to fall, but it's not necessary."

It doesn’t hurt anyway.

Whoosh! Hancock seemed to appear out of nowhere, still yelling, "——Asshole! What did you do to them...eh?"

Bang! Hancock fell into a huge bear paw print pit, and saw Giorno and Jolyne in a daze, who were safe and sound.

How come they are fine?

Wait, where am I now? Hancock was a little confused when she heard a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" and then a "bang, bang, bang". Sandasonia, Marigrude and the old man with a white beard arrived one after another and landed in the bear paw prints one after another.

Seeing this, Hancock knew what had happened. It must be some devil fruit ability... Hancock suddenly realized what was going on. Her two sisters rushed over with a wow cry, "You scared me to death, sister! I thought... woo..."

"What? You thought I was dead?" Hancock pushed her two sisters away in disgust. "Why are you crying? You've made yourself look ugly!"

Sanda and Mary immediately pursed their lips and tried to wipe away their tears.

"But little girl, you were crying too?" Old man Haredas asked in confusion.

Hancock was stunned, and Sandasonia and Marigrude choked up and said, "The princess and Giorno have been changed into something terrible by that person... my sister!"

Lin Qiqi said: "Oh? You're crying, you're so sad?"

Hancock wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and shouted, "Who's crying?!"

Robin smiled lightly, and at this moment, the huge figure of the big bear suddenly appeared beside them, squeezing and dispersing the airflow.

With his hair flying, Robin noticed that there was no huge bear paw print under the big bear's feet like they had just seen.

As the user of the Meat Ball Fruit, doesn't he need that huge bear paw print to protect the person being slapped? In other words...

The bear paw print that Lynch first discovered was of someone else who was slapped by the big bear and flew to the island.

Big Bear held the Bible in his hand and looked at Robin. Robin looked away and asked Hancock and the others, "Hancock, Sanda, Mary, who is this old man?"

Sanda Sonya said, "He said he was some kind of scientist and came to our island to study the weather or something."

Marigrude said, "He is a man too! He said he would use the treasures of his home in exchange for our saving his life..."

Haredas complained: "I really don't have any treasure! I'm just a scientist..."

Robin stared at the old man and suddenly said, "I've seen him."

"Ah?" Lynch felt strange.

The three Hancock sisters were also surprised.

"I also think this little girl looks familiar..." Haredas pinched his white beard and observed Robin's face.

Robin said: "Two years ago..."

As she spoke, she waved her little hand, and petals flew around Haredas, and her upper body condensed on the ground.

The Flower clone spoke in human language and continued the second half of the sentence: "...I saw him on the wall of the Nine Snakes."

Hancock was surprised. Has this old man been planning to take over their Nine Snake Island for such a long time?

"Ah!" Haredas cried out, suddenly realizing, "I remember now, it's you! At that time, I thought I was hallucinating... It turned out to be true! You..." His eyes moved back and forth between the half-flower clone on the ground and Robin's original body. He pulled his long white beard, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted, "I know, it's the Flower-Flower Fruit! Right? You ate the Flower-Flower Fruit..."

Lin Qi touched his chin and said, "You can see this? You have a good eye!"

"Don't look at me like this. I am a scientist after all," Haredas said modestly, "and my memory is still very good..."

"You know a lot about devil fruits! Didn't you say you have three devil fruits? Just use them to exchange for your life." Hancock interrupted them, glared at the old man, thought for a moment and added, "Also, how did you get to this island? Tell me the method too! Well, just tell me one person..."

The two sisters opened their mouths wide, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves, they also wanted to know!

Haredas breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "As long as they don't take away our research materials."

I thought it was something else, but it turns out that a few devil fruits can save your life! If I had known earlier, I would have picked up a few more devil fruits over the years... There are only three in the warehouse, and I picked them up because they were described in the illustrated book as being of a special type... Fortunately, I didn't throw them away!

"Devil Fruit? Old man, you are very rich!" Lin Qi said in surprise, "One devil fruit is worth almost 100 million berries."

Sandasonia and Marigrude had no idea about Bailey, but Hancock had been overseas and remembered the bounty on Jolyne and the others. She clapped her hands and laughed, "Haha! The three of them combined are higher than your bounty!"

"You are smiling happily now. It is said that the devil fruit tastes terrible!" Lin Qi laughed, "I hope you are okay when you eat it."

"Ah?" Hancock was stunned and looked at Lynch suspiciously, "You've eaten it before, too? Don't lie to me!"

"I don't need to eat." Lynch said calmly.

"What about Jolyne?" Hancock looked at Robin again, "After all, you ate the devil fruit yourself, right?"

Robin thought for a moment and tried to describe it as best he could: "It's like a week-old expired milk and bread from a swill bucket are mixed together and mashed into a thick paste..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Hancock yelled.

Her two sisters had turned pale and were a little frightened.

Not only was he afraid of the horrible taste of the so-called devil fruit, but he was also afraid of Princess Jolyne who could say such horrible words without changing her expression... In a sense, this princess was even more terrifying than Lady Snake...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"..." Big Bear had been standing quietly by, but at this moment he felt Lynch's gaze, and he was actually looking at him.

What do you mean, do you want him to describe how he felt when he ate the meatball fruit? Hancock noticed the big bear and shouted, "Oh, right! Who is this big guy? What were you doing before? Fighting?"

Big Bear held the Bible in his hand and said gently, "I'm just passing by."

"Nine snakes passing through the Calm Belt?" The two girls, Sandasonia and Marigrude, didn't believe it.

Hancock said warily: "You are a man too, right? What are you doing here!"

"Let me remind you, Hancock, you can't beat him." Lynch said, "Look at me and you'll know he's ridiculously strong."

Hancock glared back at him, "Even if I can't beat him, is he stronger than Lady Snake?!"

"I'll be leaving soon." This was the only explanation Big Bear had. Unlike the other little fat boy, he was a really tight-lipped person and was unwilling to reveal anything more.

Lin Qi added gloatingly: "And you can see that if he wants to leave, no one can stop him! You want to blackmail him, but I'm afraid it won't work."

"Which side are you from?!"

Hancock became anxious, her face turned red with anger, and she kicked Lynch in anger.

Although Lynch had fought with the big bear before, he had now recovered a lot of strength. He started playing with Hancock, grabbing her ankles and swinging her around, having fun like a bullfight.

Watching their sister and Giorno playing around, Sandasonia and Marigold were both slightly envious... At this moment, they couldn't tell whether they envied their sister more or Giorno more...

"Haha...what a lively and lovely girl!" Haredas stroked his long white beard kindly.

Hancock was sweating and panting after being played by Lynch. He simply ignored him, put his hands on his waist and snorted at the old man: "You should go get the things you exchanged your life for!"

Haredas said: "Okay, but first I have to get my ship back..."

He looked around, but he could no longer tell which shore he was on.

Sanda Sonya snorted, "You're lying! In the calm sea, only our Nine Snakes' ships can sail safely."

"My boat is a little bit special..." Haredas explained.

"How special can it be?"

The three sisters all expressed disbelief.

Following the old man's description, Lynch and Robin, who were familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, quickly led a group of people to find Haredas' special ship in another woods.

"What a special ship!"

The three sisters opened their mouths in unison as they looked at the small wooden boat that was tied to a tree trunk with a rope and was suspended in the air. On top of the boat, there was a transparent balloon that seemed to be about to fly.

"We call it a weather ship." Haredas stroked his beard with a smile, "It's a special ship that can only be operated by scientists in Visalia who understand weather science."

"So, it can fly?"

Robin was also full of amazement. The world is so big and full of wonders that it is unexpected to see this type of ship.

Haredas smiled and said, "Of course."

The three Hancock sisters had already jumped into the weather ship, and the suspended wooden boat immediately fell down a bit.

"How magical..." They touched here and looked there, then looked up at the transparent balloon. Hancock asked in surprise, "What is that? There's a smaller ball inside the balloon... Is there something moving inside the small ball?"

"..."With Big Bear's height, he doesn't even need to look up to see the transparent balloon.

Haredas smiled and said, "That's why this ship can fly."
