Seeking Fruits

It was nine years of the Great Pirate Era and 1509 of Age of the Kaien.

In just two years, this sea has undergone a radical change.

The most shocking of these are undoubtedly two things.

One, the great swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk ascended to the top and was respected by the world as Strongest Swordsman in the World.

Second, Akagami Shanks in the New World is invincible, and finally, with Whitebeard Edward and the Beast Kaido together known as Sanko (Three Emperors).

As for BIG-MOM, with Soru Soru no Mi appears in the sea, the world is finally convinced that the once king of the sea had fallen into obscurity.

But everyone also believes that the New World is waiting for its fourth master to come to the sea.

As a result, the great waves of competitors are competing to rush to that dream sea.

Gecko Moria, Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo, Knight of the Sea Jimbei, Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, Desert King Sir Crocodile, these names also resounded in the world in battle after battle!

However, just under the surface of this dark current, an unexpected guest quietly came to the North Blue.

The maritime kingdom named Germa 66, compared to seven years ago, in turn, looks much more dilapidated.

This condition is not surprising because this kingdom's owner put most of the money into the devil fruit trade's black market.

The good thing is that most of the inhabitants of the kingdom of Germa are biochemists trained by Judge. Otherwise, such chaos he messed up may have to appear mutiny.

At this moment, in a building like a war fortress, Vinsmoke Judge is sitting and waiting.

"Your Majesty, it's been two days, why don't you go and rest first?" The official wearing glasses reminded.

"No, I must greet the great man with the most stable posture!" Judge said righteously, but his body could not help but tremble a little.

He was unable to forget the fear brought on by waking up that night and finding a pair of bloody pupils watching him silently in the dark.

If he hadn't had the guts, he would have ended up more than merely wetting his bed in fear at the time.

"What about the ... call for marriage announcement?" The secretary asked hesitantly, "Ever since you published the four princes' call for marriage in the World Economic News, more and more people have been coming to us."

"Just let people deal with it to send away!" Judge impatience waved his hand, and then hesitated and said, "Wait, after all, the money spent is not good to waste, let that guy Sanji waste a little, if you can meet someone blind, perhaps also can give me back some money."

"I didn't expect that the formerly extravagant and wasteful His Majesty Judge had learned to be financially smart now!" The secretary first lamented in his heart, and then thought in a cold sweat, "His Majesty actually wants to earn money from the women? He would not want to 'sell' His Highness Sanji to those nobles who have fat and ugly women at home, right?"

He quickly replied, "Yes, I'll get ready right away!"

After the secretary left, Judge sighed long, "Good, the technology of injecting Devil Fruit into the item has been developed by me, in the future, finally I do not have to put all the funds into that bottomless pit!"

With that said, Judge was a little depressed.

He had thought that as long as that Captain Longinus ... Vice Admiral, never returned, there was no need for him to devote all his time and energy to it.

After all, he also knew from some sources that the spear that person had pierced through the heart seems to be the combination of Devil Fruit items' power.

But who knows, that legendary Vice-Admiral did forget about him, but another legendary bloodthirsty great swordsman came to his door.

Although Apophis was just calmly saying something like let him grasp the research and development, he dared not take it seriously?

That is even dared to kill the ruthless Celestial Dragon, and killing him, a king is not a matter of minutes?

As for reporting? He did not have the guts, did not see that people are wanted by the World Government with full force for four years and still alive, and well, he would not dare to bet his life in the government bureaucrats' hands.

"You can earn money again if you lose it, but you only have one life!"

Just as Judge comforted himself in this way, an indifferent voice rang out, causing him almost to jump straight up from his chair in shock.

"I've seen your marriage announcement, where are the results?"

"A, Apophis-sama!" Judge jumped up from his chair with a jolt; his body tensed up as if he was being inspected by an officer soldier, "I, I have made, made Devil Fruit Item Technology, Technology, Technology ..."

Looking at Judge's appearance that his mouth is shivering, Apophis also can not help, but the corners of the mouth twitched slightly, concisely interrupted, "finished!"

"Ohhhh, yes!" Judge hurriedly picked up a finger ring from a side table and put it on his finger.

"You see, this is a fusion of Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Black Mamba form in the ring, as long as in battle like this towards the front a point ..." Judge rather proudly demonstrated, under his control, the ring into a small poisonous snake bite towards the front. "The person who is bitten will immediately die of poison!"

"Good, it seems you did succeed!" Apophis nodded slightly.

"Then this ring will be given to Apophis-sama!" Gage smiled shamefacedly.

"Keep this stuff for yourself." Apophis said, taking out two wooden boxes from behind him, "These two fruits you inject into the item, the black one with the arm ring and the white one with the pendant, got it?"

These two fruits have been in his hands not too long, the black one is Kyofu Kyofu no Mi, and the white one is Doa Doa no Mi.

For Apophis can take out two Devil Fruit at once, Gage is not surprised; Devil Fruit has long been not a rare object for the significant figures.

Rare it is, are those who are extremely rare power in the Devil Fruit.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gage spoke while quickly put the ring away. If sold, he can also make his dried up wallet slightly plentiful.

"Do you have any other requests for these two fruits?"

"I'll come back to you next time for the black one, but the white one, I want it now." Apophis narrated calmly.

"This, I need a day at the earliest!" Cold sweat seeped out of Judge's head.

"One day?" Apophis was silent for a moment, "One day then, don't let me down."

"I will ..." before Judge could finish his statement, he found the figure of Apophis disappeared from his eyes without a trace.

"This kind of speed, is really too amazing!" Judge can't help but be grateful in his heart. Fortunately, he had the courage "strong" and did not dare to report, "really, survival is the wisdom from the heart !"

...

On the other hand, Apophis whispered with inexplicable eyes, "Finally, it worked! If I get that fruit again, this Apophis identity of mine should be able to appear on this sea at the same time as Longinus!"

"I really look forward to it!"
