Dancing in the Pirate World with the Spin-Spin Fruit

Chapter 112: Inflated Bounty

"Ding!" With the final blow, Gray's body was knocked away.

Boom!
Lying in the deep pit, Gray no longer had any strength left.

"You win again this time. It seems that there is still a gap between me and the general!"

"That's not the case, President. It's because I'm familiar with your attacks and I deal with them carefully that I'm able to drag you down until you're exhausted!" Yixiao didn't feel good at this moment.

Gray's teleportation attack mode is not so easy to resist.

As the saying goes, "If you defend for too long, you will lose," his internal organs were destroyed by Gray's Ryuo Haki, and his skin was also burned in different places.

At this moment, with the battle over, he felt relieved and sat down with a smile.

He felt bad, and Gray, who was a little worse than him, naturally felt even worse.

All the bones in his chest were shattered, his internal organs were injured to varying degrees, his left arm was broken at the root, and his entire body was covered with knife wounds.

Fortunately, the two were only fighting in Uta's spiritual world. With all their current injuries, they would only be a little mentally exhausted when returning to reality.

If it weren't for Uta's ability, not to mention the problem of not being able to exert their full strength during the competition, the thought of hurting their companions would make them unable to do it.

With Uta's ability, not only can he spar with confidence, but he can also hone his combat experience and will, allowing his domineering aura to grow rapidly.

……

At night, everyone gathered in Greenbit Square and held a banquet to celebrate the end of the training and their departure again.

"Hancock, how are you guys getting ready?"

"Don't worry, Gray! Everything is ready. Even if industrial daily necessities cannot be produced for the time being, we have stored enough supplies to support 300,000 people for three years."

Gray nodded in approval: "Not bad, the World Government is quite generous to you Shichibukai!"

"Hahaha!" Gray's words made everyone burst into laughter, especially when they thought about how exciting the expressions of the Five Elders and others would be when Hancock appeared with them later.

"Well, you go ahead and notify them! We'll be leaving within a week!" After notifying Hancock, Gray turned to look at Yixiao and said, "Yixiao, before we leave, please go to Dressrosa!"

"In addition to sending over the healing potions we've been using for the past year, Doflamingo has the seastone I ordered, as well as the money we earned from selling the potions!"

"Leave it to me with confidence, President!" Yixiao nodded and accepted the mission: "Besides these, do you need to bring back any other supplies?"

Hearing this, everyone raised their hands.

Monet: "We are running out of seasonings for cooking. Please bring some back."

Sugar: "I want to eat grape flavored ice cream. Please buy some for me."

Yi Xiao: "These are all fine, is there anything else?"

"Hey adults, can you buy some materials for making marshmallows?" Man Shirley raised her little hand and asked expectantly.

"Of course no problem!" These simple little people are Yixiao's favorite. After coming here, he was forced to quit gambling. He felt much better every day when he was with these little people.

"I want it too. I want it..."

"I want it." Seeing that Yixiao was easy to talk to, everyone asked for the small items they needed. Yixiao nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.

After a while, after recording everyone's needs, Yixiao put the notebook into his arms, propped up his staff and sword, and said to Gray: "President, is there anything else you need to bring?"

"If not, I'll leave."

Gray thought for a moment and said, "There really is one thing!"

"When you come back, remember to bring back a copy of last year's newspaper. We have been in closed training for a year, and we cannot go out to sea again without knowing the situation on the sea."

"understood!"

"That's all, go early and come back early!"

"Don't worry, President!" After nodding in response, he stood on a clod of earth with a smile amid the shaking hands of the dwarfs and flew towards the horizon.

The powerful man Yixiao, who never showed his face, went to Dressrosa to trade. Even if the eyes of the World Government thought about it, they could not have thought of this.

So, after a while of waiting, on the fourth day, Yixiao came back with a large number of wooden boxes.

Well, it’s mainly the seastone that takes up space.

They are about to go to the sky island, and Gray doesn't think he can tame someone as arrogant as Enel.

Since it is difficult to tame it, we must ensure that the fruit can be recovered smoothly.

This batch of seastone was prepared to perfect the devil fruit recovery experiment.

After the devil fruit user dies, there is a chance that he or she will be reborn in the nearest fruit. This is shown in the original work.

The reason why the Deep Sea Prison, Impel Down, has so many seastones and is built in the deep sea is so that after the death of the Devil Fruit user, the devil's will inside the Devil Fruit can be locked up and the fruit can be reborn in Impel Down.

Although the chances of doing this are low, it is much better than collecting it from the vast ocean.

Gray also used this as an experiment, preparing to use a smaller space, block the air flow, and use seastone of higher purity to block the devil's will from escaping and realize the devil fruit rebirth plan.

Of course, before the rebirth experiment is perfected, a powerful fruit ability user like Enel can only be a prisoner for a period of time, and will not be killed until Gray's experiment is completed.

"Thank you for your hard work, smile!"

"I don't think so. It's just a delivery of supplies. Compared with the feats you guys have done before, my actions are nothing."

Hearing this, Gray looked at Yixiao carefully and said teasingly, "Yixiao, when did you learn to flatter? How come I don't know?"

Hearing Gray say this, Yixiao, the old-fashioned Japanese, immediately said seriously: "President, I am sincere and sincere, not at all flowery!"

"Oh! Okay, okay!" Gray raised his hands in surrender and smiled. This old-fashioned look was the most unbearable.

Ending the topic, Yixiao suddenly took out a newspaper and handed it to Gray: "Hey! By the way, President, take a look at this!"

"Huh? Is there any big news?" Gray had already opened the newspaper while speaking.

After he saw the big head portrait on the front page of the newspaper, Gray finally understood what was going on.

At this time, Gray slumped the newspaper on the table in front of him, holding his right elbow with his left hand and pinching his chin with his right hand, looking very conceited: "You know what, this photography skill is pretty good."

“I don’t know who took the photo at that time.”

"Is that the birdman of Morgause, or the news bird, or was it taken from the live video?"

"Forget it, who cares! Just take a good photo of my profile picture!" On the front page of the newspaper in front of Gray, his profile picture occupied half of the newspaper.

At the top of the left and right sides, the portraits of Yamato and Monet are there, and below them are the faces of people who have appeared in Gray's live broadcast.

Including baby-5, Sugar, Uta, Cyrus, and Violet.

In addition to the portraits of Gray and others, the text next to them "detailedly" describes what Gray had done and how heinous his crime was.

There is also a reward for Gray and others.

The writing style is obviously that of the World Government. Gray looked at the corner of the newspaper carefully again and said, "That's what I said!"

"That birdman Morgans did such a thing during the live broadcast with me, how could he be fine? He also reported this kind of thing that doesn't match his actual style. It turns out that he is just an unknown newspaper under the control of the World Government!"

"Although it is just an inconspicuous newspaper, it has the support of the World Government. In addition, the World Government is also trying to restore its image by blocking the influence of the president."

"They distributed this newspaper for free on all inhabited islands." At this point, Yixiao felt disgusted with the World Government again. "And they distorted the facts said by the president in the newspaper, wrote about the president, and guided people's public opinion!"

Gray: "This is a normal operation for the World Government!"

"The information blockade and distortion of facts have caused the majority of people who cannot obtain accurate information to continue to follow them and be treated as cattle and sheep that provide gold from the sky."

"However, what you say can be distorted, but what you do cannot be distorted!" Gray said solemnly, "Our biggest goal this time is to snipe the Celestial Dragons' hunting competition."

"And broadcast this fact live before the eyes of the world. Faced with this ironclad fact, no matter how much they distort it, it won't have much effect."

"Don't worry, President! I will definitely try my best to clear the obstacles ahead for you!"

Gray: "I can already feel your determination."

"However, it's too early to say this now. We have to wait until Morgans finds the location before we can start the operation." "I've heard of Morgans. He is known as the king of intelligence in the underground world. In this world, apart from him, there is really no one who can rival the World Government in terms of intelligence."

"That's it! If we can't even find him, we'll be in trouble!"

Hearing this, Yixiao fell silent.

For a righteous person like him, knowing that the evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons are hurting civilians but having no place to use his power is really too painful.

"I hope we're lucky!" After saying this prayer-like sigh, he smiled and fell silent.

"Hmm!" But this sentence made Gray concerned: "Luck?"

"luck!"

"As for luck, I really thought of someone!"

Yi Xiao said, "Hmm? Please forgive my clumsiness, how can luck be associated with people? Or, President, you mean people with better luck."

"No, no, no! We are talking about two different things!" Shaking his head, Gray explained his thoughts with a smile: "In this matter, there is a fruit that controls luck!"

"This person, after touching someone with his hands, will collect the other person's good luck and then use it in an explosive manner."

"For the user of the Luck Fruit, as long as they are lucky enough, even if a coin slips from their hand, they can defeat a powerful enemy."

"I see. The magic of the devil fruit once again amazes me!" He exclaimed, and asked the key point with a smile: "Then, President, how do we find this devil fruit, or this ability user?"

"Don't worry, since I've said it, I must have seen the other party's information."

"When I was still in the Don Quixote family, a few years ago, a man named Tezulo stole the golden fruit that the Don Quixote family was going to auction."

"After that, the other party showed his true colors during the development, and was approached by Doflamingo and others. After that, Doflamingo reached a cooperation with him because of his strength."

"In the subsequent cooperation, the Don Quixote family also collected intelligence on the other party, and I also saw the information of this ability user!"

"The user of the Lucky Fruit is under Tesoro's command." This is a lie. Gray has no idea about Tesoro's subsequent development, and this information is only based on the original work.

As for why he guessed that Bakara was with Tesoro, it was because Gray felt that Tesoro had been developing for nearly four or five years. Even if he had not heard about the information of Golden City joining the World Government, it would probably not be much later.

After all - his live broadcast allowed the world to see the true face of the World Government. Those who have ambitions, ideas and strength now have some strange thoughts about the World Government.

It is also possible that Tezolo breaks the plan and does not want to join the member states.

Because at that time, no one openly killed the Celestial Dragons or looked down on them.

Now that someone like Gray has appeared, it is normal for Tesoro, who hates the Celestial Dragons to his core, to suddenly have other ideas.

"I see!" He smiled and understood: "So, President, do you think that if we find this person with special abilities and let her gather her luck, we can better find the hunting location of the Celestial Dragons?"

Gray: “Exactly!”

"I'm not just looking for someone. I've always wanted to find an item that also requires his help."

"Also, our fruit recovery experiment may have lacked a little bit of luck. I also want to try to see if I can keep the devil fruit when my luck is up."

"Got it!" Gray did not hide the underground devil fruit recycling base from Yixiao.

After all, everyone has been living together on Greenbit Island, and Yixiao is a person who uses his Observation Haki all the time except when sleeping, so even if he wants to hide it, he can't.

Fortunately, Yixiao is not that stubborn person.

There is nothing cruel about using the enemy's fruit ability to help your own side grow.

It would be better to say that even a fool would do this by extracting the fruit ability of the enemy that is about to be killed to increase one's own strength.

"How soon will we set out to find the user of the Lucky Fruit ability?"

"Don't be anxious! Things have to be done one by one. We will set out tomorrow and take care of Nine Snake Island. After we take down Sky Island, we will set out to look for it!"

Yixiao thought about the hundreds of thousands of civilians on Nine Snake Island and the thousands of slaves on Greenbit, and nodded in understanding: "Indeed, we should arrange for the rear area to be well prepared. Before we go up to fight, we will have one less thing to worry about, and the World Government will not use these to threaten us."

"That's exactly why I want to manage the rear area well."

"Okay, now that there's no problem, and you've been up all night for a few days, go down and have a good meal and take a rest!"

"Okay, President!"

After Yixiao left, Gray picked up the newspaper in front of him and took a good look at the slander and reward offered by the World Government against them.

"Tsk tsk! These Five Elders, they really want us to die!" Shaking his head, Gray did not comment on the evaluation in the World Government newspaper, but he was tempted by the amount of the reward.

Just as Gray said, the bounty they put on all of them was way too inflated, and they wished Gray and the others would die right away.

Kids like Baby-5, Uta, and Sucrose did not make any moves to prove their strength, but just because they were members of Fairy Tail, they were offered a bounty of million Beli.

The bounties offered by the World Government and the Navy take into consideration the opponent's strength and the harm it poses to the world.

Hmm. The last sentence is wrong. The correct statement should be - harm to the world government.

Just like Robin, just because she was the orphan of O'Hara, had the potential to reveal the reasons why O'Hara was destroyed, and might be able to understand the historical text, etc., an eight-year-old girl was directly offered a reward of 79 million Baileys.

It doesn't matter what kind of strength or logic is, they just arrogantly offer a reward and then don't care anymore.

If it weren't for the care of the pervert Kuzan, how could an eight-year-old girl survive? But despite this, Robin also experienced a darkness that ordinary people could not bear.

It is really rare to still maintain a kind heart after experiencing so much darkness.

She, like the bear, is the one who deserves to be evil.

This sentence should be said by both of them: If you go through what I have experienced, you will not be able to remain as kind as I am!

……

Judging from Robin's bounty, the bounties for Uta and the other two were relatively normal. However, the bounties for Gray, Yamato, and Monet were much more inflated.

Flywheel Gray: Reward of 1.9 billion berries.

Yamato, Girl of Beasts: A bounty of 1 billion berries.

Snow Girl Monet: Reward of 500 million berries.

In this ocean, anyone with more than one billion can be considered the three generals and three bosses among the Three Emperors Pirate Group.

Between 1.5 billion and 2 billion, it can be estimated that only general-level strongmen are qualified.

Gray's strength was only a small part of the bounty, the rest was the money added for the danger he posed to the World Government.

Yamato has such a bounty because she is Kaido's daughter and a member of Fairy Tail.

As for Monet, he received such a high bounty purely because of his special relationship with Gray and because he is a member of Fairy Tail.

The bounty on the three people has grown to the point where it can no longer be inflated.

"Hehe! Fortunately, our strength has caught up with or even surpassed the version when the bounty was offered!"

"If I were still as strong as before, I might still panic!"

Gladiator Cyrus: Reward of 600 million berries.

Dancer Violet: Reward of 200 million berries.

These are the changes in the bounties offered by Gray and others. Even if the Tontata tribe, which did not appear in front of the live camera, obtained some information from the slaves who left, it was very limited.

There is no legal reward for wanted persons.

"Okay! It's time to start today's training. Even if it's time to take a year-end review, it's not the time for me as the president to take a vacation!" Putting down the newspaper, Gray walked to the roof, intending to start today's electric current promotion session.

Only the spacious area on the rooftop is the most suitable place for Gray to train with electric current.

"We'll set off again tomorrow!"

"Dragon people, the world, wait for our magnificent appearance again!"
