Pirates Devouring Fruit

........

White clouds lazily wandered above the Kingdom of Alabasta, but could not bring any shade to the people.

The sea was as calm as ever, with waves beating against the coast of the Kingdom of Alabasta as the tide rose.

On the other side, when Eneel's mood changed, in a room of a luxurious hotel near the port.

A huge black python can be seen coiled around Dawn, forming a huge circle, and the most eye-catching thing is that the snake is holding its own tail in its mouth.

At this moment, Dawn was lying in the center of the room, coiled by a giant crimson snake, and sleeping quietly. But for some reason, people who saw this scene did not feel thrilling, but felt an inexplicable harmony.

Fortunately, Dawn came into the house after lunch and no one came to disturb him, otherwise anyone who came in and saw this scene might be scared.

Humans are visual animals. No matter how harmonious the atmosphere is, it takes time to feel it, so it is inevitable to cause panic.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Dawn came out of this state, it was already dinner time.

The black snake's coiled body gradually disappeared.

Dawn woke up and sat up, and the first thing he did was to check if there was any change in his body.

"It seems that my physical strength has improved, but nothing else seems to have changed. Is it that it is lurking in my body and needs to be developed continuously to be tapped?"

After feeling the condition of his body, Dawn had a rough guess about the changes in his body.

The reason for this speculation is that this feeling is similar to the comfort when the "Ouroboros" feedbacks the "physical attributes", but the comparison between the two is like the difference between washing hands and taking a hot spring bath.

Regarding physical fitness, Dawn also discovered a very important thing. After all these years of testing, every time his physical fitness improved, the effect of Dawn's practice became better, and the speed at which his spiritual power increased became faster.

Dawn guessed that the improvement in talent might be due to the increase in physical attributes. Dawn also wanted to obtain more in the hope of further verification, but the randomness was too strong so he had to give up.

Now is a good opportunity. If Dawn's strength increases much faster than before in the next period of time, it means that his "physical attributes" can improve and optimize his own qualifications.

And Dawn had a feeling that his own strength seemed to be about to enter a period of rapid growth.

"But the Ouroboros seems to have eaten my halo? Is it possible that I can't use it..." Dawn stood up and quickly used the halo.

As a faint silver color enveloped Dawn's body, a stronger force burst out from Dawn's body. At this moment, Dawn seemed to feel that he could blow up everything.

But Dwayne quickly woke up from the rapidly growing power. Even if his current strength increased tenfold, he might not be able to defeat everything. This was just a collision of mentality after the sudden increase in strength.

The silver halo in front of him and the sudden increase in his physical strength told him that the halo had become one.

This is great. He no longer needs to add the three-color halo in the future. This ability now enhances Dwayne in all aspects, including his strength, speed, and ability to withstand attacks. Even his physical strength has been greatly improved.

Dawn opened the window and began to test his current maximum speed.

Dawn took a step forward and walked towards the distant desert. Dawn needed to experiment with this ability as soon as possible to find out the upper limit of this ability.

After running several laps in the desert around the port, Dawn returned to the restaurant. Amid the surprised looks of the waiter, he ordered a huge amount of dinner and had it delivered to his room. Then Dawn walked back to his room.

After running around the port so many times, Dawn was not only hungry but also sweaty. The first thing he did after returning to the room was to take a shower.

And it was obvious that Dawn was in a good mood.

After the experiment just now, Dawn also understood this halo. At this moment, he could confirm that this silver halo was the advancement of the previous halo.

First of all, there is no need to say much about the overall increase, and secondly, there is the issue of halo consumption.

If before, after the aura was activated, the strength and speed auras consumed physical strength, and the physique aura consumed mental strength, but now the advanced aura can be activated by consuming both physical strength and mental strength.

In this way, Dawn will have more advantages in terms of endurance, and his endurance will definitely be sufficient when combined with the power-stealing ability.

It can be said that Dawn's strength has experienced a substantial growth. After years of hard training and killing pirates in the North Sea, the "experience" of the Ouroboros devouring enemies burst out at this moment.

Before, Dawn had not confirmed it and it was just a guess, but now he is sure of it.

After killing an enemy, even if it has no attribute points, Ouroboros will devour the opponent's soul energy.

The previous performance was that the Ouroboros gradually solidified from illusion, so that now its scales are black, which is the proof of its continuous absorption of energy.

This part of energy not only made Ouroboros grow, but also brought him a feedback of great benefit.

As for now, the most important thing is to seize the time to practice.

Dwayne could feel that his talent had indeed improved significantly this time, so the focus of his training in the next period of time would be on physical skills.

While Dawn was eating the delicious food brought by the wait staff, he was planning his next training schedule.

Chapter 100 Planning

It's no surprise that the most commonly heard bird call in the world is the news bird. Even seabirds such as seagulls are not as widely distributed as the news bird.

At this moment, the sound of the news bird was heard in the sky, accompanied by the sound of the sea surging and the waves hitting the hull.

At the edge of the dock, a pink ship appeared in the waters of the mercenary kingdom of Kotal.

The pink bow part is the head of a flamingo, and on both sides of the hull are flamingo wings.

But the strange thing is that on the bow, the flamingo is wearing the same distinctive glasses as Doflamingo.

The sails on the ship are also painted pink, with the Doflamingo family's pirate flag logo painted on them. If you just look at this cute pink color, people who don't know would think the captain is a woman.

Not far away, a dock in Kotal was slowly approaching.

"Young Master, we're here." A man in a black suit, looking like a British gentleman, appeared in front of Doflamingo.

The man wore black sunglasses and had a cigarette in his mouth. Although his lips looked thick, it did not affect his charm as a man with his tough face. Instead, it gave people a different kind of masculinity.

Senior Piqué, a cadre of the Don Quixote family, belongs to the Cube Fighting Group.

If Dawn saw him, he would recognize him as the perverted tough guy who had a "Hollywood-style" fist-to-fist fight with Franky.

He is the user of the Water-Water Fruit, which allows him to move freely through objects as if swimming.

He is a tough guy who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and is not good at cheating, just like a gentleman.

And his story is very touching. Dawn had a good impression of this loyal man when he was in the Don Quixote family.

"I won't stay here long this time. I'll get off the boat later and let the others stay on board. You and Lao G. will get off with me. I need you to stay in Kotal this time."

But Doflamingo's next words, although in a calm tone, made people feel the cold malice that penetrated deep into their bones.

"Tell Lao G to let him stay here. If the king doesn't obey and act as a puppet, then kill him. I'm sure there are many people willing to take his place."

"As for you, you will be responsible for the transportation of supplies after Kotal is taken. Be nice to the king and give our king some hope. Hehehehe."

Doflamingo drank the red wine in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the deck with his unique laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, now let us go and see the choice of our king."

From the very beginning, Kotal Rad's fantasy of cooperating with the Don Quixote family was just a beautiful dream woven for him by Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's goal is to use the manpower and resources of the Kingdom of Kotal to start a war in the North Sea!

While the Kingdom of Kotar is constantly at war, it can also make a fortune from the war.

A country that is already short of food will naturally need a large amount of food after the war.

But the target of that stupid King Kotar Rad was the Kingdom of Ishtar, a major grain-producing country, so the other party would certainly not sell grain to Kotar to aid the enemy.

Then, as a partner who can transport food, the Don Quixote family will naturally be able to make a lot of money.

Kotal Rad thought that he could use the power of Don Quixote's family to defeat the Kingdom of Ishtar, and then plunder their food to relieve the pressure.

If we can sign a contract with the defeated country and ask the Ishtar Kingdom to provide food every day, we will be able to rest easy in the future.

If we lose, we will get rid of some mercenaries who do not engage in production and only waste food in peacetime, which will greatly alleviate the food crisis.

The plan sounds great, but it's just a thought.

As a self-satisfied tyrant, he never realized that Doflamingo was a venomous snake, stalking all prey, including his collaborators.

Kotal Rad thought they just wanted to make some war money and hiring fees, but he didn't know that Doflamingo's goal was to let the mercenaries die and completely destroy the system of the Kotal Kingdom.

Then, with only civilians left, the Kingdom of Kotal could only become a miners' kingdom.

The people of the entire country can only rely on mining iron resources, then making them into weapons and selling them to the Don Quixote family, the "only" family willing to purchase them.

Doflamingo's goal is to enslave the entire country to work for him. As for a loser like Kotal Rad who just wants to eat and wait for death, he is not qualified to cooperate with him at all.

The reason why they chose the Ishtar Kingdom was because the benefits were great enough. The Kotar Kingdom or any of the surrounding countries were eyeing the Ishtar Kingdom covetously but had to look up to it.

Moreover, with the strength of the Kingdom of Ishtar, if it finds that Kotar's strength has been exhausted, it may want to swallow up the Kingdom of Kotar.

This was something Doflamingo had to guard against. It just so happened that Kotal Rad also had this ambition, so he only provoked him a little and Kotal Rad took the bait.

This can be said to be a win-win situation. It will cause both countries to suffer losses. Not only can it complete its own plan, but it will also make the Ishtar Kingdom unable to covet the big cake of Kotar.

In fact, with its resources, Cottard could become a major arms power, but unfortunately, Cottard Rad was a short-sighted waste who only knew how to enjoy himself and was extremely greedy for money.

In order to keep money in the treasury, Bailey used important iron resources to offset the cost of purchasing food, allowing neighboring countries, especially the Ishtar Kingdom, to obtain a large amount of iron resources.

Originally, the neighboring countries used iron resources to make weapons or things for various purposes. If Kotal only sold finished products, the profits would be multiplied several times.

But the greedy Cottard Rad left money by bartering, which filled the original gap in the neighboring countries and even filled up other people's warehouses.

Then it is only natural that supply exceeds demand.

To be honest, in the past, such a useless king would have been killed by the uprising and left to rot in the wilderness, but in the world of pirates, it is quite common...

For example, in such a large medical country as Guma Island, the only one who was persecuted was "Doctor 20". I really don't know whether some doctor secretly replaced Nawapol's brain with a pig's brain during the operation.

However, there are also monarchs who are in sharp contrast to these foolish monarchs, such as Cobra of the Alabasta Kingdom and King Riku of Dressrosa. There are also many monarchs who love their people.

But unfortunately, no matter how much we love the people, we are still manipulated and applauded by the powerful.

But generally speaking, there are all kinds of kings in this world.

The root of this problem is the celestial dragons who are called "Creators". Their actions were imitated by the kings of some countries, which led to all kinds of strange kings.

Chapter 101 Practice [Third Update]

When Senior Pico followed Doflamingo into the country, he found that it was poorer than he had imagined.

There are no tall buildings or mansions, and even the decent houses are very shabby.

Looking around, there are dilapidated wooden or stone houses everywhere, scattered on the streets.

Yes, these so-called "streets" are just roads of varying widths between houses.

No one is in charge of these illegal buildings, and the complicated streets spread out into the distance. The roads with various shops along the streets are better and look much neater and cleaner.

Passersby in those messy huts will inevitably step on all kinds of feces, because the mercenaries here always don't care after getting drunk and will just find a small street to solve the problem.
