Chapter 96 Shocking Fruit
Hades sat alone inside the tavern.
Drinking wine quietly, Titan stayed outside alone.
Shihai and the Rocks Pirate Legion from the first half of the Grand Line are still on their way back.
A grand banquet is essential, but it needs to wait until they come back.
The treasure has begun to be divided up, and pirates flock to the gold exchange one by one to exchange the treasure for Bailey.
Highly valuable treasures such as gold, jewelry, antiques, and even famous swords and devil fruits were transferred to the Kingdom of Kronos through the gold exchange.
Today on Hatchinos Island, the only one who can absorb so much treasure is the gold exchange house controlled by Hades.
Standing behind the money exchange is the Kingdom of Kronos.
There had been preparations in advance, and the Kingdom of Kronos had already provided 30 billion beli in cash.
Such a huge amount of funds is personally guarded by "Jiu".
stored in the space within his body.
No one can take it away from him.
The wealth obtained by the Rocks Pirates this time encompasses eleven countries that are members of the World Government.
Just 30 billion Baileys may not be enough.
Now the kingdom is mobilizing as much funds as possible to transfer the Baileys obtained through the four-sea trade.
Some of the treasures and antiques are of little value to pirates, but are rare treasures in the eyes of nobles, wealthy people, and collectors.
If it is traded, it can be exchanged for an unimaginably high price.
The Kingdom of Kronos has just such a way to send them to auctions all over the world to obtain higher profits.
As the gold exchange is on the right track, professional personnel are also stationed in the gold exchange to operate the gold exchange.
A more formal money exchange seems a bit unusual in a chaotic place like Hatchinos.
Compared to the previous money exchanges that belonged to underground forces, they are more popular with pirates.
Has Xhosa been eliminated by the times?
No, not really!
He's just being imprisoned in Impel Down City. If necessary, just rescue him.
After all, it's just a question of whether you want it or not.
If you just think about it, Shiji plus Rocks, or a few more cadres, can sweep the impel city.
On the carnival island, there was constant noise, and Hades seemed a little out of place.
He was thinking about what to do next.
The navy is no match for the Rocks Pirates, but with the end of the World Government, the Rocks Pirates will face a real enemy.
The franchise countries were breached, but it did not affect the strength of the world government.
The conflict between the franchise countries and the World Government has nothing to do with the Rocks Pirates.
The Navy lost one general candidate, and another general candidate suffered a broken arm and severe injuries.
The Rocks Pirates also lost one of their top fighters.
Counting the two army generals supported by the world government, as well as the cp0 agents who may be lurking in secret.
Nowadays, the Rocks Pirates have obviously ushered in a real opponent, and their subsequent actions will not be so easy.
But these have nothing to do with him for the time being.
It doesn't mean that they can fight against the Rocks Pirates with more combat power.
Shiki and Newgate are still growing, and with the addition of Charlotte Lingling and Hades, the Rocks Pirates will soon reach a new peak.
Waves of cheers came from the port, and Hades knew that it was the pirate legion from all over the world and the first half of the Great Route that had returned successfully.
What he brought back was naturally countless treasures.
Not long after, a tall figure broke into the tavern, and Titan standing at the door did not stop him.
With long flowing golden hair and a strong and powerful body, the person coming was none other than Edward Newgate.
"Gula la la! Hades, do you want to see what I have gained this time."
Newgate came over laughing and sat next to Hades.
With a "boom", the large sack he was carrying fell to the ground, revealing the shining golden luster inside.
Facing Hades' calm gaze, Newgate reacted, smiled to himself, and unceremoniously took Hades' bottle and poured himself a large bowl of wine.
"I almost forgot, you don't like these at all."
"However, you have to be careful next time, I have gained an incredible ability."
Newgate quietly put his head to Hades's ear and spoke mysteriously, which seemed to be a bit of a show off.
The two have a good relationship. Due to their personalities and their deliberate friendship, they naturally get close in an atmosphere like the Rocks Pirates.
Hades is different from other pirates in that he has no conflicts or conflicts of interest.
"Oh!"
Newgate's words caught Hades' attention.
New abilities, if I'm not mistaken.
"Gula la la! Feel it with your own body, Hades."
Newgate laughed and waved his fist, shining with a white halo, containing a destructive power.
Cracks appeared in the air, shattering like glass.
Newgate is indeed a Newgate. Not long after he ate this Devil Fruit, he was already able to show considerable power.
This punch went straight to Hades' head.
Hades, aware of the crisis, left the place in an instant to avoid this move.
Sensing Hades' departure, Newgate controlled his fists, twisted his body, and burst out with astonishing speed.
Hades had just landed ten meters away, and Newgate appeared in front of Hades at the same time, hitting him hard with a domineering punch.
Although Hades can still avoid it, looking at Newgate's appearance, he won't give up without a head-on collision.
He also wanted to experience the power of the Zhenzhen Fruit.
At this time, it was a little slow to accumulate power. Pure defense was not Hades's style.
Instinctively, Hades clenched his fists, tensed his muscles, raised his arms and used his elbows from bottom to top.
"Baji·Collapsing Mountain!"
Invisible armor wrapped Hades' body, resisting the incoming shock force.
The domineering force of the weapon is concentrated at one point through the elbow, and combined with the strength, it explodes with amazing power.
The collision between the two terrifying forces created an impact of air waves, and cracks continued to appear on the ground beneath him.
The two did not attack with all their strength, and both sides were relatively restrained.
Although the interior of the tavern was badly damaged, the main part is still there and can be salvaged and rebuilt.
In terms of pure strength, Hades is no match for Newgate.
If it were a real battle, Hades would not confront Newgate like this.
The brief collision was just to test Newgate's new abilities.
Judging from the results, Newgate is very satisfied.
The current shock power is not strong enough, and even Hades's domineering defense cannot be broken.
Bailey, who gave some compensation to the tavern owner, and Hades changed places with Newgate.
It was Newgate who provided the money and started the business, and he did a good job in that respect.
During this operation, Newgate gained the superhuman power of the Shock Fruit.
This means that Newgate will officially rise in the Rocks Pirates, and is one step closer to becoming a core cadre.
Although his potential can definitely reach that level, the power of the Zhenzhen Fruit can undoubtedly greatly shorten this time.
As a monster in the same period as Shiji, after Shiji obtained the power of the Piao Piao Fruit and the rapid expansion of his power, Newgate was undoubtedly overwhelmed.
Young Newgate undoubtedly has a very strong competitive spirit.
Stronger strength, higher status, and more wealth are what all pirates pursue.
From Hades's perspective, Newgate, without the Shock Fruit, seemed to be missing something.
Now that the last piece of the puzzle has appeared, there really is something missing, probably that iconic white beard.
