Building the Pirate Family - Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Crocodile, Harvest Devil Fruit
Dong! Dong! Dong!
“Sir Adam, these are three boxes found in the Sky Gold Transport Ship. I saw that they are luxurious and unique, so I brought them here to you.”
A child about seven or eight years old was standing outside Adam’s door, holding three beautifully shaped boxes with some difficulty.
Looking at the child in front of him, Adam was a little surprised.
I didn’t expect that Rocks Pirate, a group of all villains, would have such a young child, who looked only seven or eight years old. Is there such a young child in the pirate group?
Adam asked the other party while thinking.
“Okay, give it to me first, what’s your name?”
“Sir Adam, my name is Crocodile, and I am currently a trainee crew member in the pirate group.”
What, Crocodile?
Adam was very surprised to hear the other party’s name, and looked at Crocodile’s face carefully.
After a closer look, Adam realized that although he didn’t have the scars on his face as an adult, and his left palm was still normal, he looked very similar to Sir Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai in the original work.
Combined with his age, Adam also confirmed that this was Crocodile, who would become a Shichibukai in the future.
However, how could Crocodile appear on Rocks Pirate?
Adam was very curious and asked directly.
“How come you are a pirate on a ship when you are so young?”
“Sir Adam, I went to sea with my parents. I have been on Rocks Pirate since I was born. Two years ago, my parents died in a battle. Sir Rocks specially approved that I can continue to be an apprentice pirate on the ship.”
Crocodile admired Adam a little. He was also a spectator who watched Adam abuse Silver Axe in the battle on Beehive Island before.
“I see. I’ll take the things. Just consider it as a favor you owe me. From now on, you can come to me as long as it’s within my ability.”
Adam decided to accept this favor, because according to the rules of Rocks Pirate, the wealth obtained from the robbery must first be confirmed by Captain Rocks before it will be distributed to the captured pirates in proportion.
However, Crocodile’s behavior is also within the unspoken rules. After the robbery, the cadres will also intercept a part of the treasures or Devil Fruit, famous swords, etc. that they like.
Rocks has always turned a blind eye to such situations, as long as it is not too excessive.
Adam had just joined Rocks Pirate and was carrying out his first mission. He was not very clear about this unspoken rule. Fortunately, Crocodile reminded him.
“Okay, thank you, Adam.”
Crocodile was very excited. Not only did he talk to this adult, but the other party also gave him a favor.
After that, Crocodile put the things down and left Adam’s room.
As Crocodile left, Adam looked at the three boxes on the table with some expectation.
“Dear, why are you so excited? What’s in it?”
At this time, Mia, who had been silent since Adam and Crocodile started communicating, finally spoke up. Seeing her master’s expression, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Mia, there is a great possibility that there is a Devil Fruit from the sea. The box is about the same size as the Bird Fruit I got before, but it’s more luxurious.”
“Really, Master, if it is a Devil Fruit, I hope it’s Zoan, so that we can have more sisters.”
Pabby said to Adam. Now that they have been transformed into monster girls, they can no longer be considered human beings, nor do they think they are human beings.
They only recognize other girls who are also monster girls, and regard these girls as sisters who can be trusted.
Mia echoed: “Yes, dear, I hope it’s Zoan Devil Fruit.”
Adam nodded. Of course, he also hoped it was Zoan Devil Fruit. There were too few monster girls under his command.
Then, under the expectant gaze of Mia and the other two girls, Adam opened the three boxes one after another. They were indeed Devil Fruits, and the strange patterns on them could not deceive people.
But Adam did not have the Devil Fruit illustrations at present, and these fruits were not marked in the boxes like the fruits Adam obtained the previous two times, so he could not determine what kind of fruits they were.
“It seems that we have to go back to Beehive Island and ask Captain Rocks to copy a Devil Fruit illustration to confirm it.”
Adam said to the two girls, and then gently covered the three boxes.
Soon, all the treasures in Tian Shangjin’s transport ship had been emptied by the pirates under Adam’s command, and only an empty transport ship was left at the original place, which could not be wasted.
So Adam sent a team to the transport ship, and the two ships sailed towards the direction of Beehive Island.
Two days later, the ship returned to Beehive Island. After docking, the people sent by Rocks were already waiting at the port, and Adam asked them to receive the treasures on the ship.
Adam asked the two girls to take the packages back to their residence, and he went to the meeting hall to find Captain Rocks.
After a while, Adam came to the meeting hall. At this time, only Rocks was in the hall, and the other cadres didn’t know where to go.
“Captain Rocks, the Heavenly Gold mission of the Kingdom of Clo has been completed, and the treasure has been handed over to the pirates at the port for inventory.”
“Great, Adam, you have completed your first mission since joining the group very well. I heard that you met that guy Zephyr, but I didn’t expect that you killed his three Rear Admiral lieutenants under his nose. You did a great job.”
Rocks did not hide his admiration for Adam: “And the two monster girls under your command are worth cultivating vigorously. I can’t believe that the dumpling fruit has such an ability. This world is really magical, wow hahaha.”
“That’s for sure. Mia and the others are the most loyal to me, and I will naturally cultivate them well.”
Adam smiled slightly and was very satisfied with the performance of Mia and Pappy, but he did not continue to discuss this topic and directly stated his purpose.
“Captain Rocks, I want to ask you for a Devil Fruit encyclopedia.”
“Okay, I’ll have my subordinates send it to you later.”
Rocks didn’t care what Adam wanted the Devil Fruit encyclopedia for, and agreed very readily.
For Rocks, what he values is whether his subordinates are useful. As long as they are useful, anything can be discussed.
Rocks treats Adam well, and it’s just a Devil Fruit encyclopedia. Whitebeard, Golden Lion and Big Mom already have one, so it’s not a big deal.
“Okay, thank you Captain Rocks, I’ll go back if there’s nothing else.”
Adam said goodbye directly. He felt a little depressed after staying with Rocks for a long time, and Adam didn’t want to stay any longer.
Rocks nodded, just looked at Adam’s back without saying anything.
He was very satisfied with the new subordinates he recruited this time, and he was not afraid that Adam would have any other ideas. Rocks was absolutely confident in his own strength, and he didn’t think anyone in his pirate group would dare to betray him.
And the fact is indeed so. Although the cadres of the entire Rocks Pirate basically have their own ulterior motives, when Rocks is still alive, none of them dare to have other ideas and have been firmly suppressed by Rocks.
That is, at the end of the God Valley War, after Rocks was besieged by Garp and Roger and disappeared, these ambitious cadres began to set up their own businesses.
From this, we can also see that Rocks has absolute dominance over the pirates in this era, and he can definitely be called the real Pirate Emperor.
However, Rocks is not satisfied with just being a Pirate Emperor.
“The opening of the God Valley is coming soon, and preparations need to be made as soon as possible.”
