The red-haired pirates had left for half a month and returned to Windmill Village once to replenish their supplies, but they did not see any traces of the rubber fruit. After leaving for another month, he returned to Windmill Village to replenish his supplies, but he didn't see any rubber fruits.
Time slowly passed. Half a month, one month, two months, three and a half months. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of year 1508 of the Haiyuan Calendar. December was about to arrive.
During this period, the red-haired pirates would return to Windmill Village every time they needed supplies, as if Windmill Village was the only supply point in the East China Sea.
Thanks to the care of the red-haired pirates, the villagers earned a lot of money. He would use the money that the Red-haired Pirates had replenished to buy supplies. The next time the Red-haired Pirates came, he would sell them to the Red-haired Pirates at a slight difference in price.
Luffy didn't care how much the villagers earned. He only cared if the rubber fruits had appeared. Every time the red-haired pirates came, Luffy would look forward to welcoming them, but he would return in disappointment.
A few days ago, a big incident happened on the sea. Fisherman Tiger finally came to an end. A little girl who was once a slave of the Heavenly Dragon Tribe was taken in by Fisher Tiger.
Because the villagers had different ideas, they set up a trap to help the navy capture Fisher Tiger at the cost of the little girl regaining her freedom.
In the end, Fisher Tiger escaped, but he was also seriously injured. If he wanted to survive, he could only transfuse blood for Fisher Tiger, who had lost too much blood. Coincidentally, only humans were suitable for Fisher Tiger's blood type.
Because of a misunderstanding, Fisher Tiger thought that the little girl had betrayed him. Therefore, he hated humans and refused to let humans give him blood to prolong his life.
In the end, Fisher Tiger died in resentment, and the Sun Pirates fell apart.
Luffy, who had read the original novel, knew the ins and outs of the whole incident better than anyone else. The little girl was just a pitiful person. Under the terrifying training of the Heavenly Dragon people, she could only smile stiffly and obey. She could not decide what the villagers wanted to do.
Later, the little girl responded to the call of revolution and joined the revolutionary army to overthrow the government ruled by the Heavenly Dragon people for freedom.
She was Kella, who appeared next to Sabot.
"This is a tragedy caused by a misunderstanding!”
Luffy had a conclusion in his heart when he read the newspaper.
Fisher Tiger's death didn't make Lu Fei too sad or emotional. Perhaps he had already known about this and was mentally prepared, or perhaps he had been distracted by the rubber fruit.
"It's almost December, and the rubber fruit hasn't appeared yet. Could it be that I'm a fake protagonist?”
Luffy muttered in his heart and waited anxiously.
When he woke up early this morning, his intuition told Luffy that something big would happen today.
Other than the appearance of the rubber fruit, what else could be a big deal to Luffy? Luffy had a rough idea of what was going on, so he happily got out of bed and ran out.
She blinked her eyes in confusion and pulled the blanket over with her jade-like arms, barely covering her body. Makino was curious about what was so urgent that she did not even want to take advantage of her.
In fact, Lu Fei's intuition had never disappointed him. After waiting anxiously for a few hours by the coast, the Reid Fosse gradually appeared on the sea.
Luffy heaved a sigh of relief and said,"This wave, we'll hide."”
This time, when the red-haired pirates returned to replenish their supplies, they were no different from usual. They still greeted Luffy with a smile. When they arrived at the tavern, they teased Makino about when the two of them would have a baby.
Faced with such a question, the gentle Makino blushed the entire time, and it did not disappear for a long time. Fortunately, they were pirates after all. Even though the villagers knew that the red-haired pirates were different, they did not want to join in the fun.
"Shanks, this is the Devil's Fruit, right?”
Since he returned from welcoming the red-haired pirates, Luffy had been staring at Ben Beckman. It was because Ben Beckman was holding a strange fruit when he got off the boat.
When he arrived at the tavern, Ben Beckman casually placed the strange fruit on the bar counter.
Luffy picked up the strange fruit and observed it carefully. He was very excited. The result that he had been waiting for was finally going to come true. He couldn't wait to ask.
Shanks took a sip of wine and said,"You guessed it right. It's the Devil's Fruit." I was lucky to find it at a fruit stall in a town.”
"Guess how much Bailey I spent to buy it? It's 100 Berries. I bought the 100 million worth of demon fruit for 100 Berries.”
Shanks laughed and praised himself.
"Because it's a devil fruit, it's very precious. Therefore, for the sake of accidents, when we were not around, someone might steal it on the boat, so I brought it with me.”
"Why, Luffy, do you care about this Devil's Fruit?" Ben Beckman asked. He had been staring at it ever since he saw it.”
Luffy was very concerned about this Devil's Fruit. Not only Ben Beckman, but anyone who wasn't an idiot could guess this. Luffy's actions were too obvious.
Luffy nodded and looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand. He smiled and said,""I do care because I want to eat it.”
"Eat it?"
"You want to become a Demon Fruit user?" Shanks frowned.”
"Yes." Luffy nodded.
Shanks pondered for a moment." Eating the Devil's Fruit is very convenient for gaining strength. There are some powerful Devil's Fruits that can be eaten to gain even greater strength.”
"But I should have told you about the weakness of being afraid of the sea floor stone and not being able to go into the water after eating the demon fruit.”
Luffy nodded." You've said it before. Although I have a weakness and will become a landlubber, I still want to eat it."”
When the supplies stopped at Windmill Village, Shanks talked about many things with Luffy. He talked about the situation on the sea, the strong people, and the Devil's Fruit.
After all, Shanks didn't treat Luffy as a child who didn't know anything. To be able to find a girlfriend at such a young age, coupled with the intelligence he usually showed, only a ghost would think that Luffy was a child.
Even though Luffy was really a child.
Seeing Luffy's persistence, Shanks said with a headache,""Actually, with your monster potential, even if you don't eat the fruit, you can become very strong with your body and domineering aura. I don't recommend you to eat it.”
"But if you insist, I won't stop you. However, even if you want to eat the Demon Fruit, you should wait a little longer. I don't think the fruit in your hand is suitable for you.”
"Some demon fruits are very strong from the start, and some demon fruits need time to develop and train before they can become strong. The demon fruit in your hand belongs to the type that develops and becomes strong. It's called the rubber demon fruit. I don't think it's suitable for you.”
Shanks had obviously come across the demonic fruit guide before. He knew what kind of demonic fruit Lucky had encountered. Therefore, the crew did not have any intention of eating it.
Other than being unafraid of blunt attacks and bullets, they really couldn't think of a way to develop the rubber man.
"A rubber fruit!"
Luffy smiled and asked Shanks,""Do you believe in fate? If I told you that the rubber fruit is destined to be eaten by me, would you believe me?”
"We pirates yearn for freedom when it comes to matters like fate.”
"Luffy, don't eat the rubber fruit. I really want to eat the Devil's Fruit. If I encounter a powerful Devil's Fruit next time, I'll leave it for you.”
"Yeah, what's so good about rubber fruits?”
The pirates spoke up one after another to persuade Luffy. They felt that with Luffy's monstrous potential, eating the rubber fruit would lower their standards.
"If you insist, then eat."
Luffy's explanation of fate touched Shanks 'heart. No matter what, seeing that Luffy insisted on eating, he could only support him.
"Thank you, Shanks." Luffy was truly grateful.
Makino said anxiously,""Luffy, this is a hundred million dollars worth of Bailey. How can you ask Shanks to give it to you?”
"Right."
Luffy tilted his head and took a wine glass. He personally poured it for Shanks and grinned."I believe that the wine personally poured by the future strongest pirate is worth 100 million.”
"What do you say, Shanks?"
Shanks laughed as he took the wine."If you want to become the strongest pirate, you have to defeat me first. In the future, you will prove that the wine you pour is really worth 100 million yuan.”
He finished the wine in his hand in one gulp." Otherwise, I won't forgive you.”
"Definitely. You can look forward to it in the future.”
As Luffy spoke, he peeled off the skin of the fruit bit by bit, revealing the flesh. He couldn't wait to take a bite.
