Chapter 84: Rogge Storm (Happy Lantern Festival Everyone!!!)
At the same time.
In another corner of Rogue Town.
A group of pirates wearing the same rough linen cloak as Buggy also gathered together.
"Lord Alrita! We have contacted!"
"The other party is willing to pay 150 million Baileys to buy the devil fruit in our hands!"
A pirate ran over from a distance in a hurry, then lowered his voice and reported in a low voice.
And his reporting target was a huge fat man who could turn the loose cloak into a tights.
The fat body made it impossible to recognize his true gender, and the rough voice made it even more difficult to distinguish.
However, it is not difficult to find out from the name of Alrita...
She is the female pirate who appeared in the first episode of the anime plot-Alrita!
"Hiss~!"
She suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the airflow beside her cheek produced obvious fluctuations.
Alrita said with surprise and regret:
"Did the other party really agree to this price?!"
"Damn! It seems that it is still too low!"
"So the legend should be true..."
"The strange-looking fruit contains a mysterious devil-like power inside!"
At this point, Alrita's eyes could not help but look at the wooden box at her feet.
This is a strange fruit that their pirate group found in their base.
Alrita, who had heard about the devil fruit, came to Rogue Town with a try-it mentality, wanting to find a suitable target to sell it.
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed to the deal immediately after just showing the photo to the other party.
From this point of view, the one inside should be the real thing!!!
When she thought that such a fruit was worth at least 150 million Baileys, Alrita's heart surged instantly.
If she sells this devil fruit, she can buy bigger ships and more weapons, recruit soldiers and conquer the sea!
The day when she becomes the world's number one female pirate is not far away!!!
Thinking of this, Alrita suddenly took a step forward, using her huge body to block the greedy eyes of her subordinates.
Then her eyes quickly swept through a group of subordinates, and finally focused on the shortest guy.
The fat on Alrita's face suddenly burst, revealing a wicked smile:
"Coby, you take this box back to the hotel first, and wait for us to get the money and then come back to you!"
"Everyone else, follow me to the transaction site!"
Alrita suddenly squatted down and put a ferocious face full of fat towards Coby.
Then grinned:
"Don't think about running away or eating the devil fruit yourself!"
"If that happens, I will definitely let you know what cruelty is!"
"...Yes...Yes! Captain Alrita!!!"
The timid Coby's forehead was sweating profusely, and he answered nervously.
"Yeah."
After handing the devil fruit to Coby, the most timid one, Alrita nodded with confidence, and then glanced at the pirates who had been staring at the devil fruit, with a cold smile on her face.
Bang!
The huge mace suddenly hit down, making a frightening sound, and cracked the marble floor.
Alrita snorted and blew out two streams of white air, and then ordered:
"Everyone except Coby, follow me!!!"
With an order, a group of pirates wearing mysterious cloaks instantly walked out of the alley and gathered at a place outside Rogue Town.
...
...
On the other side, in a restaurant on the edge of Rogue Town.
A non-mainstream with a golden afro and a nunchaku on his waist walked in.
After looking around, he immediately focused his eyes on a man with a green slicked back hair.
"Brother Barto! Why are you still here!?"
The non-mainstream shouted instantly, and then trotted over.
"Huh!?"
Bartolomeo, who had just finished his meal, picked his teeth with a toothpick and glanced at him:
"What's wrong, Gambia?"
"Did you forget?"
Gambia's expression tightened. He carefully looked around and then whispered to Barto's ear:
"We have an appointment with the Alrita Pirates to buy devil fruits at 1 pm!"
"I asked the other blocks to pay the protection fee in advance, and we have collected 150 million Baileys!"
"As long as we take this devil fruit and let the big sister Dezaya eat it, we can become the strongest bad society in the East China Sea!"
"By then, the entire East China Sea underworld will submit to us!!!"
Gambia danced with joy, and his voice unconsciously became louder, completely forgetting the initial caution.
But Bartolomeo sneered nonchalantly:
"Come on, Gambia, it's just a devil fruit, we don't even know what its power is, it's not as powerful as you say!"
"Besides..."
He suddenly stood up, and a younger brother behind him instantly put a golden fur coat on him.
Barro grinned, revealing his sharp vampire fangs:
"Compared to the devil fruit, I'm more curious about the guys in the Joker Pirates..."
"They actually claimed to have joined the Straw Hat Pirates and wanted to talk to us."
"A pirate with one of the highest bounties in the East China Sea actually joined a newly emerging pirate group!"
"Don't you think this is interesting?!" Barto grinned, his eyes flashing with anticipation, and stepped forward and walked out of the restaurant.
...
...
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Although it was a bad group composed of young gangsters, the Barto Group had an extremely strong sense of time to be able to command 150 towns.
At 12:59, they had already arrived at the transaction site agreed with Alrita...
A deserted farm located outside Rogue Town.
However, what Barto and his gang didn't know was...
A few days ago, the clown Buggy and his group had occupied this place as a foothold in Rogue Town.
...
...
"Captain Buggy, someone is coming!"
A pirate broke into the makeshift tent and reported loudly.
"Huh!?"
The high-level clown pirates who were preparing weapons and preparing to contact the Barto Group in a few hours were stunned for a moment.
Mochi frowned and stepped forward, scolding his younger brother:
"A bunch of trash! You have to report such a small matter!?"
"Is the gun in your hand just for show!? If someone comes, just chase them away!"
"We will be in contact with the biggest gangster here, the Barto Group! Do you know what is important and urgent?!"
"But..."
The younger brother who was scolded for no reason hesitated for a moment.
After a pause, he spoke again:
"But Vice Captain Mochi, the people who came seem to be from the Barto Group!"
"I saw a green guy in the crowd, he should be the boss of the Barto Group in the rumor - Bartolomeo!"
"What did you say!? Bartolomeo!?" Mochi was suddenly startled and asked in confusion: "How did he find this place?"
"...No, I don't know." The pirate younger brother also looked puzzled.
Buggy, who was sitting at the main seat of the tent, suddenly sneered and said:
"Okay, Mochi."
"After all, he is the leader of the underworld in this sea area, so it is normal to have more spies."
"But, hum..."
Baki snorted disdainfully, and his red nose trembled slightly.
As a pirate, he has always looked down on these land creatures.
"You dare to find this place on your own initiative, are you trying to show us a warning!?"
"Interesting~!"
"Mochi, go and take people to contact them!?"
"See what they mean?!"
"After all, Lord Red just asked us to find this guy Barto."
"Now... our mission is successfully completed!"
"The rest, just wait for the Straw Hat Boss and the others to come!"
"Yes, Captain Buggy." Mochi immediately accepted the order.
……
……
After a while.
Mochi walked out of the tent with a large group of people and took the initiative to greet Barto and his group.
When Red was assigning tasks to Buggy, they were also there, so Mochi knew very well...
Although the task instructions issued by Red were just to find Bartolomeo and not to cause any conflict...
But from his tone, it is not difficult to hear Red's appreciation for him.
He knew how to read people's expressions, and he saw it at that time...
Red had already wanted to conquer him.
Thinking of the magical methods that Lord Buggy had shown during this period, such as the magical ability of Bailey that could be conjured out of thin air as long as the enemy was hit...
Mochi and the Joker Pirates had already been convinced by the Straw Hats!
That's the ability to conjure money out of thin air! ?
Is there any ability more powerful than this in the world! ?
So this time, Mochi had made up his mind to complete the task excellently and win the appreciation of Lord Red.
But what he didn't expect was...
He had just met with the people of the Barto Group, and the other side inexplicably threw a large sack of Bailey.
"We have shown our sincerity in advance!"
"Now... it's time for me to see your sincerity, right?!"
Bato, with a slicked-back hair, took a step forward with an arrogant smile.
