Pirates Devouring Fruit

Well, this does not refer to the scale and density of the hail, but the size of the hail falling from the sky.

From small stones to the size of eggs, and then to human heads, the hail became more and more intense. Sora and others on the side had already jumped up from the deck to smash the hail that was hitting the ship.

"Ouroboros, help quickly! The ship will be damaged later." Sora smashed a hailstone the size of a basin with one punch and shouted at the ink snake on Dawn's shoulder.

"Got it, got it." Ouroboros was developing abilities with Dawn, and was using his unique perspective to help Dawn understand the abilities.

Being awakened by Sora at this moment, he saw the situation that everyone was facing. Ouroboros quickly controlled the air to reinforce the warship to resist the hail.

Dawn also learned about the outside world through Uropolos, but he did not move, but continued to sort out the gains of this time.

Whether it is the development of abilities or the breakthrough of knowledge, it is necessary to review and understand carefully after this battle.

As for Dawn's breakthrough in observation Haki, Dawn originally wanted to name it "Bullet Time", but then he thought that there was no movie "The Matrix" in this world, so it would be a strange name here.

As a guy who is not good at naming, Dawn simply named it "Shihuan" to express its meaning.

At this moment, Dawn and others' destination is to return to the Navy Headquarters in the Grand Line and escort Katarina Depen to Impel Down.

This was the result of discussions between Dawn and the lieutenant generals. Calculating the time, Dawn and others have been in the New World for a long time.

In reality, he hunted down San Juan o Garou, and then arrested Catalina o Depen. He played hide-and-seek for a long time in the fashion capital, and had a big battle with Katakuri.

It can be said that we have been working non-stop since arriving in the new world.

Nowadays, most of the vice admirals are in the New World hunting down those vicious pirates, and there are no vice admirals in charge of the Grand Line.

With the strength of Tina and others, although they are not the mainstay in the New World, but in the Grand Line, they know how to be domineering and can completely replace the vice admirals to suppress the Grand Line.

In other words, after these two missions, in addition to being promoted for their good performance, their strength has been generally recognized by the navy's top brass and they are now able to lead a team on their own.

This is good news, which proves the growth of Tina and others, and also shows that the once weak people can finally sail on the sea independently.

Being able to lead a team alone also proves that they can lead more soldiers, spread their goals and ideas to more soldiers, and gradually expand in this way.

This is a major step forward for Dawn and his team's future goals.

Even though this goal is still very small and needs more time to sprout, everything is brewing.

Similarly, this also indicates that after returning to the Navy Headquarters this time, it is time for everyone to say goodbye.

After this time, the people leading their own teams would naturally not gather on one ship again, but would lead their soldiers separately and train their own lieutenants to fight pirates on the sea.

Dawn planned to escort Katarina Depen to Impel Down and then return to Sky Island.

Although Tom has initially accepted everyone's ideas under the influence of Fisher Tiger and everyone on Sky Island, he still hopes to meet someone who can be called the captain.

And Dawn also went for Tom this time. This was Dawn's primary goal after the escort.

This was actually an accident.

Originally, Dawn could only be said to have good intentions. Dawn's previous plan was to do Fisher Tiger a favor and gain a legendary shipbuilder at the same time. It would be perfect if he could help transform the airship.

But unexpectedly, after a series of changes, with Moriah's deliberate promotion and Fisher Tiger's persuasion, Tom actually had a change of mind.

He agreed to meet me first and then decide whether to hand over the "Pluto's drawings" to me.

This is like pie in the sky for Dawn.

If Tom is really willing to give out Pluto, it will undoubtedly be a super big trump card for Dawn, and Dawn can't help but ignore it.

And only having the drawings of Hades means that Dawn still needs to find a way to build it.

This problem, which is difficult for others, is not a problem at all for Dawn.

Of course, this also requires adjusting some plans, so Dawn is now eager to return home.

Only by getting this matter done earlier can we mobilize the power at hand to build Pluto, and strive to complete this trump card when the tide of the times arrives.

While I was thinking, the aroma of barbecue suddenly wafted into my nose.

Dawn came back to his senses and saw Tina holding a plate of barbecued meat and handing it to him. She said, "The bad weather is over. Sora just killed a sea king. Ouroboros is helping with the barbecue this time. Want a piece?"

"Thank you." Dawn took the plate, made a pair of chopsticks and put the barbecue into his mouth.

The sea kings that roam the sea all year round have more tender meat. With Ouroboros' perfect control of the heat, the juices from the sea kings are roasted out very well.

The golden fat is paired with a secret sauce and matched with chili peppers bought from the fashion capital, and the meaty aroma and spicy taste burst out on the tip of your tongue.

"Well, it's delicious. It's worthy of being made by me." Dawn praised while chewing the barbecue with his eyes narrowed.

"How can you praise yourself?" Tina said unhappily.

"Yes, I am." Dawn said shamelessly while eating barbecue.

Tina rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want to bother with you. I'm going to continue eating over there."

"Leave some for me. I'll send some to Katharina Deppen after I finish eating them. Don't let her starve to death." Dawn instructed.

Controlling the drinks on the deck to fly into his hands and finishing a large plate of barbecue, Dawn hooked his hand, pulled the barbecue Tina prepared for him, and walked to the cell at the bottom of the warship where Katarina Depen was imprisoned.

In the dark environment, Dawn saw Katharina Depen, wearing seastone handcuffs and bandages, looking weak.

"It's time for dinner. Today we're having a barbecue. You're in for a treat." Dawn controlled the plate and meat to fly to Katarina Depen and said with a smile.

"Thank you so much." Katharina DePen's face turned gloomy as she looked at the person who came into her sight.

Chapter 222 I’m here to negotiate terms

In the dark cage at the bottom of the ship, only a dim kerosene lamp was burning continuously.

There were two soldiers on duty outside the cell where Katharina Depen was.

Seeing Dawn coming, the two soldiers hurriedly saluted.

Dawn held the barbecue and said with a smile, "You guys go eat outside, I'll watch over here."

"this…"

"It's okay. I brought some food to Katarina Deppen and chatted with her by the way. You guys go ahead." Dawn waved his hand to signal the two of them not to be polite.

"Yes, thank you, sir." The soldier saluted and walked out of the boat.

Caterina or Deppen, who was standing beside him, turned ugly when he saw Dawn, and his ferocious expression and hatred made people intimidate.

"Ha, I didn't expect it would be you who brought me food. You're such a rare guest." Katarina DePen looked at Dawn with an unfriendly tone.

This is no wonder. After all, it was Dawn who caught her. If he hadn't dealt with her now, she might have escaped long ago.

It's no wonder that Katharina DePen would have no good face when facing such a deep hatred.

She was wearing a prison uniform at the moment, but she had transformed it to look like a special costume specially made from the prison uniform.

Although he didn't look that good, Dawn still admired his taste.

"No need to say any more provocative nonsense. A loser has no say."

Dawn's blunt words irritated Katarina Deppen so much that her veins popped up. "Is that what you came here for?"

"No, I'm here to negotiate terms." Dawn smiled slightly, revealing a harmless smile.

"Huh? Negotiate terms? Are you still going to let me out?" Katharina Deppen said with a disdainful smile: "If that's the condition, we can talk about it, but I'm not interested in anything else."

"How do you know it's not?"

Dawn chuckled, and without looking at Katharina Deppen's surprised face, he changed the subject and said, "Let's sign a confidentiality agreement first, or I'll have to kill you to keep it secret."

Ouroboros's contract ability appeared in Katarina Depen's mind. The other party's expression changed for a moment, and then she chose to sign the contract.

"Okay, let me hear what you want to say. Why do you need such a big show?" Catalina DePen sneered.

Dawn didn't care about the other party's bad tone and said directly: "Let's not waste any more time on small talk. I'm sure you know that except for the Golden Lion, no one else who was imprisoned in the Impel Down City has been able to escape, right?"

"What? Are you trying to tell me how miserable my fate will be?" Katharina Deppen said impatiently, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't waste your words."

"Very well, then I will tell you directly. You will be imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down—"Infinite Hell". This is a covered-up floor that the public doesn't even know about. Once you are imprisoned here, it is almost life imprisonment."

Dawn looked at Katharina DePen, whose expression became grim as he explained. He smiled and said meaningfully to Katharina DePen, "That's why I said I'm here to negotiate terms."

"What? You can still let me out?" Katharina Deppen sneered, "Let's not talk about that for now. Even if you have the ability to let me out, what will I have to pay for it?"

"It's simple. Just work hard."

Dawn smiled and said: "The ability of the contract is very convenient, you must have seen this, so the betrayal problem that you are most worried about is best solved by me.

Whenever you have any thoughts that are not good for me, they will be sensed by the little snake who has the same soul as you, and will give you a warning to remind you not to do stupid things.

And if you want to do anything against me, that snake will swallow your soul directly, so pledge your loyalty and you will be free, but if you refuse, you will be imprisoned in Impel Down for the rest of your life.

Even if I can't let you out now, I can guarantee that there will be a chance to let you out later, and I promise it will be within ten or even seven years.

I think this choice should not be difficult to make. ”

After Dawn finished speaking, he looked at Katharina DePen calmly. Finally, in the silence, Katharina DePen spoke.

"You are right. Rather than being locked up in Impel Down for the rest of my life, swearing allegiance to you doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to accept."

Katharina Deppen licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, looked at Dawn, who was wearing a cloak of "Justice" and stood tall, and said in a playful tone, "Besides, it seems that you are not such a quiet guy. Maybe it is not a bad thing to follow you."

"Oh, an ambitious man." Katharina Depen laughed twice and said, "Then let's sign the contract. I will wait for you in Impel Down for ten years. At least it's better than staying in Impel Down for a lifetime. I don't have a choice now."

"Seven years is enough if there are no accidents." Dawn's tone was calm, as if telling the truth, "I may not be the one who rescued you by then. If you are a pirate, you can join the other party, and then I will do it according to the situation." judge."

"I understand." Katharina DePen nodded, without asking why Dawn knew what happened so long later.

Because she knew that even if she asked, Dawn would most likely not answer, after all, the status of both parties was completely unequal.

I am a fish and meat man and a swordsman.

Those who have nothing are the most fearless, because they have nothing to lose.

Being able to escape from the advancing city, in order to grab this pick, it would be fine for the navy in front of him who defeated him and caught him in a cage to be a dog.

Pirates are insidious and cunning existences with no bottom line.

Even if the other party was fooling her, so what? The other party's contract also stated that the contract of loyalty would only take effect if she escaped from Impel Down.

In other words, as long as he is in prison for one day, it will be meaningless whether the loyalty contract is effective or not.

A chess piece that cannot be used is worthless, right?

However, Dawn did not lie to Katharina DePen about this matter, and the same was true for what he told her.

And this is indeed the case. It is already the beginning of 1513, and it is only 1520 years away from 7. If nothing unexpected happens, Luffy will cause a big disturbance in Impel Down and he will be released.

It can be said that Dao En is following the trend and taking advantage of the situation.
