Chapter 58
The latest website: "Small garden?"
A gleam of light flashed in Maud's eyes.
When he heard Arthur talking about Devil Fruit, he immediately became interested.
Pretending to know about this, he just wanted Arthur to continue talking.
I never thought that this Devil Fruit was actually related to the small garden.
"Yes, that is a very interesting ancient island."
After Arthur sat down, he grabbed an empty glass and poured himself a glass of wine.
Now, the young man sitting in front of him is no longer a hard worker in the weapons store, but a big pirate with a reward of over 100 million.
The change in identity has also brought about a substantial change in Arthur's attitude towards Maud.
In the past, he ignored or despised the existence of Maud.
Now, he has to face, even look up to the existence of Maud.
Hearing what Arthur said, Jaya looked at Maud subconsciously.
The small garden of Taikoo Island is something that Maud once said to her.
Arthur played with the wine glass, looked up at Maud, who was calm, and continued:
"According to the survivor who brought back the Devil Fruit, the island is full of threatening ancient giant creatures, and... two powerful giants."
"..."
Maud pretended to be interested.
In fact, he knew all these things.
However, he wanted to know Arthur's motive for coming to him specifically to say these things.
Arthur saw that Maud was very interested, and his heart was slightly settled. First, he raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and then he talked about the small garden.
"Maud, the background of those two giants is very unusual. Do you know the Giant Soldier Pirates?"
"do not know.
"
Maud shook his head cooperatively.
Bailey looked at Maud, and inexplicably had a subtle feeling that he was quite familiar with.
It doesn't matter to me anyway.
Bailey thought to himself, then picked up a piece of meat and ate it.
Arthur looked at Maud and said sternly:
"It was a pirate group composed of giants a hundred years ago. They ran rampant on the sea and burned down one village after another wherever they went."
"In just a few years, countless people died at their hands, which shocked the world at that time."
"And the two giants in the small garden are the captains of the Giant Soldiers Pirates, the blue ghost Dongli and the red ghost Broki!"
"Today, the Giant Soldiers Pirates led by them have disintegrated, but their wanted order with a reward of 100 million is still valid."
Speaking of this, Arthur's eyes flashed with light.
Maud took a sip of wine and said lightly, "Then?"
"Two hundred million."
Arthur raised two fingers and said seriously: "Their heads are worth 200 million, are you interested?"
"..."
Maud laughed silently.
Arthur didn't care either, and said in a slightly bewitching tone:
"If the Giant Soldiers Pirates are healthy, it would be more difficult to take away the 200 million head of the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost, but they are alone now, so they are very suitable to start. "
"You and I cooperate, as long as you take some measures, it is not difficult to kill them. How about the bounty you receive afterward?"
Was it for this?
Maud thought to himself, and immediately changed the subject lightly and asked, "Do you know what the power of the devil fruit brought back from the small garden is?"
Seeing that Maud changed the subject, Arthur was a little disappointed, but still answered Maud's question.
"I heard that it is an ancient animal species. I don't know if it is true or false."
"Ancient species..."
Maud rubbed his chin and instantly thought of the island condition of the small garden.
There are countless ancient creatures living there, including various dinosaurs.
If this Devil Fruit in Dick City is really an ancient animal species, and then brought back from the small garden...
Shouldn't it, the devil fruits of those ancient animal species are all produced in small gardens, right?
While Mode was thinking about it, Jaya asked curiously, "Why don't people who have worked so hard to find the Devil Fruit eat it directly?"
Maud glanced at Jaya who was curious about this, and smiled: "Because some people prefer real money to unknown power."
"Oh."
Jaya nodded.
Devil Fruits bring power, and having power brings money.
The truth is shallow, but that requires a process.
Therefore, it is also a choice that many people will make to exchange the unknown power that exists in the future in exchange for the money that can change the future life now.
On this island where money is paramount, it is the most normal thing to exchange Devil Fruits for money.
"Arthur, Little Garden is not on this route. If you want to attack those two giants, you must get a permanent pointer to the magnetic force of Little Garden Island."
Maud looked at Arthur, and inexplicably shifted the topic from Devil Fruit to the small garden.
Arthur was stunned for a moment, a little unable to keep up with Maud's thoughts.
So, are you interested in Devil Fruits, or are you interested in the bounty of the Little Garden Giant!
In desperation, Arthur lowered his voice again and said:
"During this time, many people came for the Devil Fruit in the Colosseum, but there were also many people who went straight to the small garden in order to get the bounty of the green ghost and the red ghost, causing the permanent pointer of the small garden to become A sought-after item."
Speaking of which, Arthur showed a confident smile.
"But... I happen to have a permanent pointer to a small garden here."
"Oh?"
Maud's eyes lit up slightly, and he said curiously: "The permanent pointer, we just came to the Great Channel. We only heard that the appearance of the permanent pointer is very similar to an hourglass, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
"It does look like an hourglass."
Arthur took the little garden's permanent pointer from his pocket.
"Hey, it's more refined than I imagined, can you show it to me?"
Maud naturally reached out to Arthur.
Arthur didn't think much, and put the permanent pointer in the palm of Maud's outstretched hand.
Maud took over the permanent pointer and put the permanent pointer into his underwear pocket more naturally, and immediately picked up the wine bottle more naturally and poured a glass of wine for Arthur.
As if he hadn't taken the permanent pointer at all just now.
"???"
Arthur looked at Maud blankly.
On the wine table, there was only the sound of Bailey chewing pieces of meat.
"Maud?"
"Um?"
Maud looked at Arthur suspiciously, as if to say: What's the matter?
Arthur twitched the corner of his mouth and reminded: "The permanent pointer you just put away...is mine."
"What permanent pointer?"
"..."
Arthur looked at Maud with an incredible look, and said word by word: "The permanent pointer of the small garden!"
"Oh, that's what you're talking about, what, do you have a permanent pointer to the little garden?"
Maud cut a piece of steak slowly and calmly said: "Speaking of which, I have been on the Great Channel for a while, but I have never even seen the permanent pointer, alas..."
"???"
Arthur looked at Maud silently, as if it was the first time he knew Maud.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the others at the same table.
To meet Arthur's gaze.
Lafayette is leisurely sipping on the tavern's signature spirits.
Jaya concentrates on cutting the steak for Bailey.
Jim and Bailey were all about eating meat.
Little guide Betty's head almost buried under the table.
"..."
Arthur was speechless for a long time.
Inside the pub.
A man got up and paid the bill and left.
After leaving the tavern, the man walked into a dim alley, raised his hand and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a watch-like phone bug.
After dialing a number.
The man lowered his voice and said, "Bacardi Maud is on Leviathan Island."
