It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

Old Cai, who didn't want to make a wasted trip or waste his disguise, gritted his teeth.

"That's right, we are Germa 66. If you want to stay in the North Sea, pay us your protection fee!"

"Ms. Kiana, Green Algae Head, leave this guy to me. Don't bother trying to get anything done. I have some old scores to settle with them."

"Oh, no problem."

"Who cares about you?"

Kiana nodded in agreement while Zoro continued to sleep on the deck as Sanzhi applied the Devil's Wind Kick to his right leg at an unprecedented speed.

"Devil's feet, whole lamb feast, lamb face, lamb stomach, lamb liver, lamb kidney, lamb leg, lamb tendon, lamb tail fat, lamb tripe, lamb leg, lamb chops, lamb eggs!"

Driven by his anger towards Germa 66, Sanji didn't care where he was this time. He even kicked into the water, almost aiming for Lao Cai's life, leaving Lao Cai confused.

"Ugh!" Damn it! What's wrong with this guy? Why does his strength suddenly soar to this level when Germa 66 is mentioned?

Was he bullied by the people of Germa 66 since he was a child, or was he locked up in the dungeon by Germa 66 since he was a child? Why does he have such strong resentment towards the people of Germa 66?

Sanji didn't know how to use Haki at this time, but in his angry state, Lao Cai was completely at a disadvantage.

Zoro glanced at Sanji's actions, then immediately closed his eyes and entered the memory battlefield created by Kiana, facing Spalu who had fought with Kiana.

Facing Sanji, Zoro only allows himself to win and not lose.

Old Cai, who was struggling to hold on, wanted to retreat at this moment, but since he had already come here and been beaten, if he retreated now, all the beatings he had received would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Lao Cai had no choice but to grit his teeth and go on.

"Germa 66 Punch, Impact Punch!"

Lao Cai swung his fist, and an attack similar to a shock wave spread around. The sudden special attack made Sanji retreat a little.

Although Sanji's combat experience at this time was not as rich as it was two years later in the original work, as one of the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work, Sanji immediately began to fight back after a slight setback.

It seems that because Lao Cai doesn't have the boss attributes of Arlong and Kuro in the original story, Sanji's battle with Lao Cai doesn't involve too many surprises. Lao Cai is quickly hit by Sanji's kick again, and his face directly smashes the deck in front of him.

"Hey Sanji, don't sink the boat!"

Seeing that Sanji had the upper hand without Kiana taking any action, Nami, who was hiding behind Kiana, immediately stood up. He was even thinking about how to make Germa 66 pay compensation.

One hundred million yuan as compensation for one square meter of deck should not be expensive. I heard that Germa 66 seems to be a kingdom and seems to be quite rich.

"Damn it! Who do you think I am?"

Lao Cai took out his broadsword and combined it with his Eight Punches. At this moment, Kiana knew who the person in front of her was.

"Okay Sanji, this guy isn't from Germa 66. Judging by his attacks and the broadsword, you must be Lao Cai from the Eight Treasures Fruit Army."

Kiana stopped Sanji who was about to fight with Lao Cai.

"What do you mean? Didn't we agree that I'll pay you to copy the medicine I need?"

Kiana looked at Lao Cai. If it weren't for the fact that the Eight Treasures Fruit Army could help Kiana copy the medicine, Kiana would not be so easy to talk to during the negotiation.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am not Lao Cai from the Eight Treasures Fruit Army." Lao Cai held a big knife and was quite confident in his disguise.

Seeing that Lao Cai was about to continue to be stubborn, Kiana said nothing, and the Sky Ranger took a step forward, holding the Spear of the Sky in his hand and swung directly at Lao Cai.

Lao Cai clenched the Guandao in his hand to resist, but at this time Kiana had already been promoted to level 56 by killing a major general and two brigadier generals of the headquarters.

And because she received a large amount of money from Barto, Kiana's stigmata and weapons reached their peak. She was a 3s Sky Ranger, and at this time Kiana's combat power was no less than that of the lieutenant general of the headquarters.

In comparison, Lao Cai, who was still in his growth stage, was still four years away from being killed instantly by Luffy. The power was completely not on the same level, and Lao Cai's Guandao was cut off in an instant, along with his right hand.

"Well!"

Lao Cai screamed when his arm was cut off, and then immediately distanced himself from Kiana.

"Can you explain now?"

Old Cai was sweating profusely as he covered his broken arm, and at this moment his telephone rang.

"Take it, but you'd better figure out how to explain it later."

A Gilma soldier bandaged Lao Cai, and another soldier picked up the receiver of the Den Den Mushi and placed it next to Lao Cai. Then the voice of the leader Qingjiao came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Old Cai, where are you now? I caught a fake Abu. Also, there's someone you need to be careful of. His bounty was previously 25 million berries, but it suddenly increased to 225 million berries."

"Although the Navy said this was due to a surprise attack on their headquarters, I think there's something fishy going on here. You'd better be careful. Her name is Kiana, and her nickname is the White-Haired Witch. Do you remember that?"

"I remember, Grandpa, but you called a little late."

Hearing the voice of Qingjiao on the opposite side, Lao Cai really wanted to curse.

Damn it, which bastard set the bounty randomly? Doesn’t he know that doing so will kill people?

73 Without you, it is very important to me

Lao Cai thought Abu was already very cautious. He even calculated that Kiana's strength might exceed the bounty, and he operated the bounty according to the highest standards.

Unexpectedly, Kiana didn't follow that standard at all, she exceeded it by nine times in one go.

But this disproportionate increase in the price couldn't really be blamed on him and Abu for miscalculating. Although Kiana's bounty wasn't too low to begin with, it suddenly increased ninefold in a short period of time.

This kind of thing has happened not only to Lao Cai and Abu, but even the leader Qingjiao, who has been roaming the sea for decades, has probably never seen it.

From the feel of the paper on which the wanted poster was issued, one could tell it wasn't issued long ago, yet now the bounty has skyrocketed ninefold. Old Cai couldn't understand why.

Could it be that Kiana's strength is growing 200 times faster than a normal person? How is that even possible?

"Ah Cai, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I called Den Den Mushi a little late? Did you run into her?"

"Not only did we run into her, we also provoked her. Abu and I saw that she was quite generous and thought she must have quite a bit of money. So I asked Abu to go back and I led the soldiers of Germa 66 to launch a surprise attack."

"What! You let Abu lead the team back alone! No wonder he was replaced by someone else, damn the user of the Mimic Fruit."

While Qingjiao was speaking, his men dragged in Abu, who was beaten half to death.

"Chief, this fake Abu has been beaten eight times and has fainted several times after being soaked in water, but he still refuses to admit that he is the user of the Mimic Fruit."

"What! Damn Mimic Fruit user! Oh my Abu, after I'm done torturing this Mimic Fruit user, I'm going to make him pay for it. Keep beating him until he reveals his true form."

Qingjiao slammed his fist on the table in front of him. At this moment, Qingjiao's confidant who heard his conversation with Lao Cai felt something was wrong.

"Chief, do you think there's a possibility that the young master Abu we captured... wasn't actually replaced?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Devil Fruit users are most afraid of seawater. Just immerse it in seawater for a while until it passes out, and its ability will disappear."

"Hmph, no matter who he is or what backers he has, if he dares to catch my Abu, I will definitely not let him off."

"But, Chief, this fake Master Abu has been in the water for a long time and has fainted several times. He definitely can't be the user of the Mimic Fruit."

The men who beat Abu eight times broke out in cold sweat after hearing Qingjiao's words. The leader Qingjiao's brain was not very bright to begin with, and his IQ dropped even more when he was hit by Karp.

Now that he is getting older, he is increasingly suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Maybe the man who was soaked in water by him several times and beaten by him eight times is the real Master Abu.

After hearing what his men said, Qingjiao's mouth dropped to the ground. It took him a long time to realize that something was wrong.

"Abu! Who beat you up like this? Grandpa promises to avenge you!"

Qingjiao's subordinates: "..."

Lao Cai on the other side of the Den Den Mushi already felt that something was wrong, but he was in a state where he could hardly protect himself, so he really had no way to comfort Qingjiao.

"A Cai, how are you now?"

"The situation is very bad, Chief. I am no match for Kiana right now."

"Is that so? Are the soldiers from Germa 66 still with you now?"

"exist."

"Very good, soldiers of Germa 66, listen to my orders. Take Lao Cai back to the Babao Fruit Army's temporary base in the North Sea! At all costs!"

At Qingjiao's command, the soldiers of Germa 66 immediately prepared for action. These soldiers would obey their superiors without hesitation, even at the cost of life and death, but...

"Everyone, stand still!"

At Sanji's command, all the soldiers of Germa 66 stopped moving.

Orders from superiors are more important than one's own life, and orders from the royal family are more important than anything else. This is an instinct engraved in the genes of all Germa 66 soldiers.

It is precisely because of this instinct that in the original work, Germa 66 was able to easily seize control when fighting against Big Mom.

Even though Sanji is not the prince recognized by Judge now, in this world of bloodline, ordinary soldiers can still feel the power of kingship from Sanji's blood.

Only Judge, who is in a higher position, can crush Sanji in terms of power, and only this kind of genetic suppression can make Judge not worry about the problem of seizing power.

"Grandpa, for some reason the soldiers of Germa 66 are disobeying us."

"How is that possible?! The soldiers of Germa 66 are known for their absolute obedience! How could they disobey at this moment?"

Kiana clapped her hands. "You've finished your Den Den Mushi calls by now. Now it's time to give me an explanation. I'll give you three final words that will determine whether you live or die."

"Old Cai, hand her the Den Den Mushi."

Because Sanji's power overrode Lao Cai's orders, Lao Cai could only use his only hand to hand it to Kiana.

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not interested in general compensation."

"Compensation? You caused me to beat my grandson Abu like this, and you still want compensation? Listen carefully, if anything happens to my grandson Lao Cai, I will never let you go!"

Qimaomao: (???)

"Are you serious?"

Seeing that something was suddenly wrong with the Den Den Mushi, Qingjiao really didn't have the brain to think too much at this moment.

"of course."

"Okay, oh, by the way, the medicine I gave Abu can enhance a person's strength in a short period of time. The people on your side should be able to tell the specific effects and burdens. It's up to you whether you want to use it or not."

After saying this, Kiana crushed the receiver of the Den Den Mushi, not intending to give Qing Jiao any chance to call back.

Although Kiana lost 5 billion, she had an enemy that was quite powerful and did not need to be looked for. For Kiana, the benefits were much better than money.

"Old Cai, the new pillar of the Eight Treasures Fruit Army, right? Who do you think is more important to me, you or money?"

Kiana switched to queen form and lifted Lao Cai's chin with her foot.

"Money?"

Kiana looked at Lao Cai and smiled.

"So, me?"

Kiana also responded to Lao Cai with a smile. Lao Cai's brain suddenly stopped working and he thought for a long time before speaking.

“It’s still money.”

Kiana moved her foot away from Lao Cai's chin, and instead used the Sub-Sky Spear behind Kiana to aim at several vital points on Lao Cai's body.

"It's important to me without you."

With a snap of his fingers, all the Sub-Spears pierced Lao Cai's body, and the new pillar of the Eight Treasures Fruit Army no longer had any role in One Piece.

74 Ghost Spider: I have seen the end of Kiana

"As expected, it still doesn't work."

Kiana poked her left arm with her right hand, and the soft touch showed that there was no change in Kiana's arm.

When Kiana pierced Lao Cai's body with the Spear of the Sky to kill him, she used the Key of Consciousness to intercept Lao Cai's consciousness.

Peeking into the memory from the consciousness, Kiana watched all of Qingjiao's memory of teaching Lao Cai how to use Haki and Ba Chong Quan as if she was watching a movie.

Kiana learned how to practice Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but understanding does not mean mastery.

With Luffy's talent, it took him a year and a half to fully master the basics of the three-color Haki, although there was more or less some influence from the mediocre teacher Rayleigh.

But the use of domineering power is not something that Kiana can learn in just a few days by relying on the Key of Consciousness.

Even though Kiana relied on Fanchen Nandu to practice during her sleep time, the time gap was too huge.

According to Kiana's estimation, even if one can initially master the entanglement and hardening of Armament Haki, without involving the later internal destruction of Ryuo, it will take at least three to six months at the current training speed.

This is still a relatively conservative estimate. After all, even if Rayleigh is a mediocre teacher, Luffy is a student with extremely high combat talent.

Being able to master Ryuo in a day, see the future in a few hours, and learn Bachan in one go, this is not a speed of progress that only an ordinary genius can achieve.

Especially Ryuo and Hachan. Rayleigh mentioned them when he saw the future, but Luffy almost forced himself to learn these two with no basic knowledge.

If we talk about someone who has talent that can defeat Luffy, it is only the Deserter King who came later. He was able to crush Zoro in two years when he was no match for ordinary people.
