How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 102 The Hidden Devil Fruit
"It can counteract the curse of the sea!"

……

"Negative... curse?"

Gao Wen's eyes lit up.

Of course he knew what this meant.

In the world of One Piece, what else is most associated with curse besides Devil Fruit?
Once you eat the devil fruit, you will be cursed by the sea. Not only will you lose the ability to swim, but you will also be restrained by seastone.

But even under such circumstances, various devil fruits are still sought after by countless pirates and navy.

The reason for this is that the various abilities provided by the Devil Fruit are so powerful that their impact on a person's combat power and potential can be said to be immediate.

The best example is the cat-man brothers who are standing in front of Gawain, looking at the bounty order with a silly smile on their faces.

Originally, the potential of these two people was only at the Black Iron level, which was slightly stronger than the ordinary pirates under Gawain, but also extremely limited. Whether in terms of combat power or potential, they could not compare with several cadres of Gawain's pirate group.

But after eating the devil fruit, the potential of these two people was directly upgraded to a higher level, reaching the same bronze level as Akin, which can almost be said to be a qualitative change.

Besides, what these two people ate was just the most common animal-type cat-cat fruit among the devil fruit abilities.

If it is a natural or mythical beast, it is possible for the potential to be directly raised to silver or even gold, which is a significant improvement on one's own potential and combat effectiveness.

"This badge can help me completely offset the side effects of the devil fruit."

"In other words, if I eat a devil fruit now, it will be pure profit!"

now.

Even Gawain couldn't help but feel excited.

According to Gao Wen's own expectations.

If he could eat the right devil fruit and become familiar with its abilities, his combat power would most likely soar directly to the gold level.

His potential is even higher and he may even become a legend.

Although he has not awakened his Domineering Haki, even if his potential is fully realized, he is probably the weakest among the legends, but he is still a legend that represents the strongest echelon in this world!

If any individual is singled out, the Navy and even the World Government will have to treat him with caution.

Besides, speaking of rare devil fruits, Gawain has one in his hand right now, the one that Gaza gave him!
Think of this.

Gawain could no longer hold back, and looked at Gaza and said:

"What type of devil fruit was that you gave me before?"

Gaza put down the bounty order in his hand, shook his head and said:

"It's not even recorded in the latest Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

Then she seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile:

"but."

"When I was looking into the true nature of the fruit, I heard a rumor that the World Government was deliberately hiding the existence of certain fruits."

"It's because those devil fruit users have caused extremely horrific damage in history. Some have even caused the disappearance of several kingdoms and the extinction of all life."

"In the history of some rare races, these abilities were even crowned with the name of God."

"The one I gave you might be one of them."

"Is this so..."

Gao Wen's brows slightly frowned.

Maybe it means that the probability is not 100%.

Even with the side effects of the badge canceling out the fruit, Gawain can only eat one devil fruit in his lifetime.

At least before confirming the true nature of the fruit, Gawain forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"Do you have other versions of Devil Fruit encyclopedias here?"

"still on the way."

"Okay, give it to me when you're ready."

"Hmm."

Gaza nodded repeatedly.

Clo, who was standing by, saw the emotion that Gawain was having trouble hiding at the moment, and couldn't help but remind him:
"It's still unknown whether the ability is strong or not, but the side effects are equally powerful. With me here, you can reach the top no matter what."

After witnessing the abilities of the cat brothers and learning about the side effects of the devil fruit, Cloe lost all interest in it.

After all, who would want to risk eating that kind of thing?

Gawain nodded:
"I know." "Just keep it in mind."

Seeing this, Cloe stopped talking.

A few minutes later.

The people gathered in the port gradually walked towards the central area under the leadership of Jasmine.

Gao Wen and others were temporarily arranged in a building next to the City Lord's Mansion.

Now that Gaza has joined Gawain's pirate group, this port has naturally become Gawain's sphere of influence, and they feel at ease living here.

Moreover, for Gawain, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out the true nature of the devil fruit in his hand.

……

Time flies and three days pass.

Gaza returned to the port and took over all the affairs of the port again. As orders were issued one after another, Raven Port gradually regained its former vitality.

Within just a few months, the city was attacked by pirates twice in succession, and some buildings still bear the charred marks of bombardment.

In the lord's mansion.

"Miss!"

Accompanied by a cheer.

Jasmine pushed open the door of Gaza's office and piled several devil fruit illustrated books in her arms on Gaza's desk.

"Here are the various versions of devil fruit illustrations that we have collected."

“This one is even a version from over a hundred years ago!”

"There must be some fruit ability we haven't seen before!"

Jasmine said as she placed one of the books in front of Gaza.

Gaza bowed his head.

Then he saw a Devil Fruit illustrated book with a completely discolored cover and pages that looked like a smoky yellow, placed on the table.

She opened it casually and flipped through the pages one by one.

He compared the devil fruit recorded in the illustrated book with the photo in his memory, then shook his head and turned to the next page.

So back and forth.

"I'm here to help you too."

Jasmine smiled sweetly, then took out an illustrated book and began to read it carefully.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the rustling of papers, until a familiar picture appeared in front of Gaza...

"Animal type - Mythical beast..."

"found it!"

"The fruit we gave to Mr. Gawain!"

Garsha exclaimed and turned the tattered illustrated book to the last page, only to see a familiar devil fruit there.

But the record below the fruit made Gaza's breath take a little bit of a breath.

"The immortal evil god who makes the earth dry up, life wither away, and everything enter the realm of death!"

"Once a country was turned into a desert and became a forbidden zone for living things. Every few hundred years, it will reappear on this sea, looking for its destined host..."

……

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit too much?"

Jasmine turned her head to look at the illustrated book in Gaza's hand and curled her lips:

"The writing here was obviously added later. The original version should not be like this."

"Maybe it was a prank by someone who came later."

Jasmine pointed to the place where the fruit information was recorded.

The handwriting there was clearly different from the printed text elsewhere; even the notes appeared extremely sloppy.

Gaza took a look and ignored it:
"Maybe so."

"But Mr. Gawain, you probably can't wait any longer."
