I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 429 Heina, it is impossible for us
"He really didn't recognize me..."
Approaching the outskirts of the island's royal city, Rose looked at Gance and his group passing by like passers-by, and touched her face.
She followed Kujo Xu Lun all the way, and soon caught up with Gans who was heading to the royal city, and found that he seemed to be with people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce.
However, when Rose appeared in front of Gance, Gance did not recognize the princess at all.
On the contrary, he looked at the woman behind Rose, Robin, warily.
"It's Kujo Xu Lun..." The people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce obviously recognized Robin immediately.
The leader, a fat and bald middle-aged man, avoided looking.
In the first half of the Grand Line, there was a pirate with a bounty of more than 300 million beli, and he was encountered by himself and others. How unlucky was this?
The bald and fat middle-aged man did not want to cause trouble, so he quickly entered the royal city with the people from the Chamber of Commerce and Gance.
When Rose touched her face and doubted her life, a small mirror was suddenly handed to her.
Robin smiled and said, "You'll know just after you take a look."
Loss took a look in the mirror and was shocked.
The girl in the mirror, who was simultaneously looking shocked, didn't look like herself at all!
"He did it! Giorno..." Rose bent forward and knelt down in frustration with black lines of low pressure all over her body, "It turns out that being eaten by him was not an illusion..."
"Don't worry, I will change you back." Robin comforted, and followed Rose into the royal city.
Although the economy of the entire island has become depressed, and the "rich country" is beginning to be unworthy of its name, the condition of the royal city is better than that of the previous towns. At least the clothes of pedestrians on the street have fewer patches.
Lose followed her and touched her face. She was inexplicably shocked and suddenly realized, "It's the Tunton Fruit! Giorno got Valpo's Tunton Fruit?!"
Robin smiled and said, "You just realized it?"
Lose was speechless for a moment. Robin, relying on his own domineering power of knowledge, led Rose to follow Gance and his party from a distance.
"Those people led by Gance..." Lose lowered her head and remained silent, then suddenly said, "I seem to have seen them somewhere."
"Are they the guards from the previous palace?" Robin guessed, and his footsteps slowly stopped. In front of him was a huge high slope. Similar terrain appeared inside the royal city on an island, which basically represented the palace. Wherever you are.
"I don't know..." Rose shook her head, "It has been almost two years since I left home. Maybe I remembered it wrong."
Far ahead, Gance and a group of people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce walked up the hundreds of stone steps on the high slope, obviously intending to directly enter the palace of the island on the high slope.
"They went to the palace of the Kingdom of Halahitania..." Rose wondered, "Did Gansta... be assigned some diplomatic mission by his father? But..."
Robin said: "He is the captain of the palace guard, and his duty should be to protect the royal family."
Loss pursed her lips, and... why did Gance so cruelly shoot passers-by on the street when they were in the restaurant before... That was not like what Gance would do at all!
"Want to see?" Robin lowered his head and asked, "What did they do after entering the palace..."
"Breaking into the palace?" Rose shook her head repeatedly, "How could you do that..."
At this time she heard Kong Tiao Xu Lun’s voice: “I’ll let you use your knowledge.”
Who is she talking to? Rose saw Xu Lun looking at the air beside him, raising his hand to grab something from the air, and gently covering her face. But there was clearly nothing on Xu Lun's face...
Ghost? !
Lose suddenly remembered this. The JOJO Pirates have three members!
Kujo Xu Lun's hand pressed on her shoulder, making Rose tremble in fright.
Wearing a jet-black visor and looking through narrow white eyes, Robin quickly locked onto Gance's aura as he entered the palace with the help of "B.I.B", Lynch's domineering power.
She pressed Rose's shoulder and said slowly: "Next..."
Lose's eyes widened, and another scene appeared in front of her.
"She" saw Gance!
There were even sounds in his ears, which were the friction between clothes as he walked, and the crisp sound of footsteps walking in the palace.
"She" heard someone beside Gance say: "Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Subsequently, Gance and others were led into a palace room, and soon saw the king in court clothes, drinking by himself. He had a messy beard and sunken eye sockets, showing exhaustion.
"Oh, hehe, Mr. King, why are you drinking alone?"
Gance quickly stood on one side opposite the king, and "she" heard the voice and walked to the front of Gance and sat opposite the king.
"Why can I..." In the cold drink shop on the street outside the palace, Rose muttered to herself, looking at her hands and touching her ears, doubting life again. "I'm obviously here, why can I see and hear Gance and the others in the palace..."
Across from her, Xu Lun, who was wearing sunglasses, was casually flipping through the magazines in the store, seemingly not intending to answer his questions.
Loss took a deep breath and continued to focus on another aspect of what she saw and heard...
………………
〖Royal palace, reception hall——〗
"This cannot continue like this, Mr. King." The bald middle-aged man sitting opposite turned the gold ring on his thumb and said with grievance, "A small business like our Haiqi Chamber of Commerce, this Over the past few years, we have spent a lot of money on helping the royal family of the 'Rich Country' to fill the gap in heavenly gold. If Mr. King does not repay the loan as soon as possible, our life will be very difficult. ”
"..." The king opened his closed eyes, raised his head and was about to argue. When he saw several strong men with solemn expressions standing behind him, another wave of powerlessness hit him, and he smiled bitterly, "Me too. I want to pay back the money, but..."
Gance stood like a bodyguard, looking around with his eyes calmly.
The king's hand trembled slightly, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "As long as the gold from the sky is safely delivered to the navy's warship, and if it waits for a while, all the loans from your chamber of commerce will be repaid..."
"So," the bald middle-aged man from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce asked with concern, twirling the gold ring on his thumb, "will there be no more accidents with the gold in the sky this year?"
"No, no..." the king murmured to himself, looking at the reflection in the wine glass, "This year the government will send CP9 to assist, so there will be no accidents... If we still can't keep the gold in the sky this time , so that the people once again have to pay more property to make up for it, then I, the king... will have to die to apologize..."
……
〖Palace, treasury——〗
Naval soldiers and palace guards were on guard here, and inside the vault, the CP9 agent Lion snuggled up with his long hair untied, meditating in the dark, and answered the phone bug in his arms.
Beside the phone bug there is a smaller white phone bug. The radio waves of this phone bug are very special and can prevent calls from being eavesdropped.
Nudori sings a few lines of "Clang Clang Cang" like a kabuki to announce one's home, and the expression of the person on the other end of the call, played by the phone bug, does not change at all.
A woman's voice came from the phone bug's mouth and asked lightly: "How is it?"
Nudori didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to maintain the same tone as singing, and said in a cadence: "I am sitting in the vault, but if the pirate attacks, they will never come back! The others are on the island Search for clues elsewhere..."
On another island, Stussy, who looked like an aristocratic lady in an exquisite dress, picked up a cup of black tea and asked the phone bug in her hand:
"Where's Lu Qi?"
……
〖Royal palace, reception hall——〗
"Oh hahaha! That's not the case! How could His Majesty the King die?"
The bald middle-aged man from Haiqi Chamber of Commerce stood up with a big smile. Before leaving, he turned back and said sadly, "Even if you are going to die, you should at least pay back all the money. Don't you think so, Mr. King?"
The group of them walked away like this. The king sat alone in the empty room with his head in his hands. Soon there was the sound of crackling and smashing wine bottles.
"Hahaha, the eyes really look like they are completely dead!"
The bald middle-aged man from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce who walked out of the palace said proudly, "Gance, how did you do it? It's so simple, oh hahaha..."
He turned around and saw Gance looking at him doubtfully.
Until the people from the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce left first, Gance was still thinking about what he meant just now.
The eyes look like they are completely dead...
He frowned and thought hard, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead without even realizing it.
But after thinking for a while, the sweat on his forehead slowly disappeared, Gance's brows relaxed, and his expression returned to calm.
I walked around the royal city with someone and found the person I wanted to meet in a hotel.
He is a man with an ordinary appearance, neither handsome nor ugly, but slightly pale, with a thin and tall body. He is sitting by the window watching the people coming and going on the street, holding his hand Playing with a bright red apple, after Gance entered the door, he turned around and asked: "Have you found the location of the vault?"
……
"This person!?"
Outside the palace, in the cold drink shop on the street, Rose exclaimed, causing others to look over.
Robin was focusing her attention on the Flower Eyes and Flower Ears blooming in many corners of the royal city at this moment. She was also startled by Rose's sudden exclamation.
……
Gance nodded. "You can do it at any time."
"Oh, it's a pity that your princess ran away." The ordinary, thin man weighed the bright red apple in his hand, "Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?"
Gance's eyes were gloomy, "She betrayed her country, ran to the sea alone without knowing her capabilities, and is probably dead somewhere now. Otherwise, it will be very disappointing."
The thin man smiled. The bright red apple in his hand turned dull in an instant, and rotten spots soon appeared. After a blink of an eye, the originally bright red apple was completely rotten, with holes and discoloration. It smells bad.
"..." Gance stared at the rotten apple.
"Do you want to eat?" The other party handed it to him.
Gance shook his head, but the thin man took a bite of the rotten apple. There was a suspicious sound of juice flowing in his mouth, but he had a look of enjoyment and satisfaction. He chewed and sighed:
"It's wonderful..."
……
"I...betrayed the country? How could Gance..."
In the cold drink shop, Rose was in a daze. She couldn't believe that the guard captain Gance, who was very kind to her, would say this about her.
It would be nice if I died at sea...
"Did you see anything?" Xu Lun's voice brought her back from her sinking thoughts.
Loss looked up and saw Xu Lun pulling down her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful dark green eyes.
"Gance... is going to rob the treasury." Rose calmed down, thinking back to the scene she just saw, and said to herself, "I seem to have seen the person who conspired with him somewhere... His name seems to be... Steele!"
……
"Steele, you..."
Gance was inexplicably shocked as he watched Steele eat a completely rotten apple, and it rotted into such an apple. This must be a poison!
"This is the taste of love." Steele said with a smile, and then his stomach rumbled.
"Wow! Love hurts so much!"
The thin man screamed in pain and ran to the toilet...
………………
"Steele!" Rose murmured with fear in her eyes, "By the way, although he rarely appears, I did see him a few times in his pirate group... ”
Robin asked: "Whose pirate group?"
"Laut Heina!" Rose's eyes turned pale, "His Majesty's pirate group from the Shichibukai..."
………………
〖Krajana Island, Kingdom of Sikeal——〗
While talking on the phone with Nudori, Stussy saw the fiery red-haired female pirate on the beach waving to him, and she also waved with a chuckle.
The female pirate with long fiery red hair came over with two slim beach girls in her arms, and asked with a smile: "Master of Happy Street, why don't you come and have fun together?"
"Haina," Stussy quipped, "I've said it many times, we're impossible."
"Really?" The fiery red-haired female pirate laughed, "It's just impossible, that's what makes it interesting!"
After Heina hugged her left and right and left, Stussy took out the phone bug and said, "After staying there for so many days, that kid Lu Qi can't help but kill, right?"
On the other end of the phone, the person on the other end of the phone was pretending to be Yan Yi, thinking: "This is hard to say..."
………………
〖Real Money Island, a wealthy country, a branch of the Haiqi Chamber of Commerce——〗
In the corridor, bleeding corpses were scattered all the way, all of them were security guards in black suits.
The walls, corners, and door frames are covered with terrifying claw marks, as if a ferocious beast once ran here...
The air is filled with a faint smell of blood.
In the room with the door completely broken, a giant colorful leopard, as strong as a hillside, slowly shrunk in size, with blood stains still on its cheeks. It was flipping through account books and documents in its hands.
Not long after, he left with a vial.
The ground was covered with blood. A man in a black suit raised his head and took out a phone bug from his arms. At this moment, a circular slashing light wave struck, cutting him into several pieces...
On the roof, sixteen-year-old Lu Qi floated down and straightened his tie.
It was almost dusk, and in the halo of sunset, a white dove flew towards him and landed on his shoulder.
"Let's go."
Lu Qi jumped up and flew away quickly after a few ups and downs.
Lu Qi, who was running fast on the outskirts of the city and wanted to meet up with his companions, suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the road. He was startled and stopped, his face becoming gloomy.
The setting sun is like blood, and there are pools of blood in the deserted wilderness.
The Otonashi owl hung on the tree, with blood dripping from his trousers; Bruno fell to his knees, his eyes turned white, and there was a pool of semi-solidified blood under him; Gabra fell in front of a big stone, with the stone cloth behind him It was full of radiating blood, but he lowered his head, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and his chest was also dark red...
