Nanohana, the most important port city in the south of Alabasta, is world-famous for its perfume production.
As the civil strife completely subsided, Ancient Weapon Pluton blueprint was acquired by Demon Pirates. The place finally slowly recovered from the chaos, showing a prosperous scene.
In particular, Revolutionary Army leader Long secretly used his Devil Fruit ability to set off an unprecedented scale of maritime Buster Gundam. After bringing sufficient rainfall to the country that had been stuck in a three-year drought, the original fierce internal conflicts completely disappeared, and maritime trade became prosperous.
Looking at the peaceful and busy scene around her, Qiao Ellie Bonney, who had just stepped off the deck, immediately couldn't help but question, "Did a war really break out here? How come you can feel the slightest bit of tension at all."
"Captain, Demon Pirates's flagship Endless Abyss is docked at the port. I think even the arrogant One Piece would not dare to blatantly cause trouble here. Otherwise, with their style, they will be killed in minutes." A strong man wearing a cowboy hat reminded in a low voice next to him.
Not only him, but all the members of Bonney Pirates felt nervous.
If they hadn't done anything like massacring civilians in Raider Gundam towns, they would never have had the courage to pass by that giant steel ship and land ashore.
"Tch! What are you afraid of! We are not those guys who do anything random! Besides, I'm hungry. Let's go to the store in front to get something to eat."
Having said that, Qiao Ellie Bonney walked into a restaurant with very bold steps and ordered all the local meat-related meals in one go.
When the waiter brought the large plate of steaming food, she began to stuff it into her mouth without any image, eating as fast as Luffy.
What's even more incredible is that this woman obviously eats so much, but she still has an enviable figure.
If his behavior and actions weren't so unbearably rude, he would probably attract a large number of suitors and chatters.
However, the members of Bonney Pirates had obviously long been accustomed to the huge contrast in their captain's personality and appearance. They were sitting on the table next to them, eating their own portions of food, and drinking glass after glass of wine.
Just when other guests in the restaurant secretly cast curious glances, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.
boom!!!!
The terrifying power of thunder and lightning instantly created a small crater on the ground, and rocks and soil were scattered in all directions.
Before others around him could realize what was happening, the highly recognizable figure of Allen appeared out of thin air, causing many people on the spot to subconsciously hold their breath.
After all, the name Sea Devil, with its brilliant victories one after another and the deliberate publicity of World Government, has gradually made most people have a strong fear of it.
This is just like Straw Hat Pirates of Luffy, who is obviously just taking risks, but once he is recognized by others, it will immediately trigger a series of chain reactions.
Allen was obviously used to the awe of ordinary people and didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he went straight to the table of "Big Stomach Girl" and asked meaningfully, "Are you Qiao Ellie Bonney?"
"Ah! It's me! Who are you?"
Qiao Ellie Bonney asked without raising her head while chewing a piece of steak.
However, her rude behavior frightened the other members of Pirate Crew so much that they stopped all their movements and went on a killing spree for fear of making them unhappy.
fortunately!
Allen's temper is not as violent and cruel as Kaido and Big Mom. He just smiled nonchalantly and said, "My name is Allen, and I am here to invite you to join my team."
"Allen? Sea Devil Allen!"
Qiao Ellie Bonney raised her head suddenly after hearing the name and stared at the man standing in front of her. She was so shocked that she forgot to chew the food in her mouth.
She couldn't believe that she had just landed at the port of Alabasta and met one of Four Emperors from New World. It was also the Great Pirate that was in the limelight recently and was known as the Great Pirate with the highest bounty in history.
"That's right! It's me! How about, your answer is..."
Allen didn't hurry. Instead, he ordered a fruit drink from the waiter and sat across the table waiting patiently for the other party's reply.
Although he did not release anything similar to Conqueror's Haki, Qiao Ellie Bonney's whole body was still soaked with sweat in less than half a minute.
nervous!
fear!
After a long minute, the "big-stomach woman" took a deep breath and cautiously asked, "If I refuse, will you kill us?"
"No! No! Because you are not within my hunting range. But as a bargaining chip in exchange for freedom, you must hand over your Devil Fruit." Allen made his attitude straightforward.
You must know the "Big Stomach Girl" Devil Fruit, but there are very few antidotes in this world that can help him completely solve the curse of height.
So you have to get it no matter what!
"Hand over Devil Fruit?!" Qiao Ellie Bonney's face changed slightly.
"Yes! Hand over Devil Fruit! Of course, I won't take it for free. You can choose another Devil Fruit from this list and eat it." With that, Allen took out the prepared list and placed it on the table.
moment!
The long series of hundreds of Devil Fruit came into view immediately.
"This... all these Devil Fruit are in your hands?!"
Qiao Ellie Bonney opened her mouth wide, completely unable to understand how the other party collected so many Devil Fruits, including some top Logias like Steam-Steam Fruit.
Allen smiled and nodded, "Yes! Choose now! Become my companion, or exchange Devil Fruit and leave. I believe you are not stupid enough to want to start a war, right?"
"I choose to exchange Devil Fruit!"
After a brief silence, Qiao Ellie Bonney quickly made a decision.
Because she knew that the other party did not directly use his strength to force her to obey, which was considered quite polite.
If it were Four Emperors like Kaido or Big Mom, if they dared to refuse their invitation, they would be exterminated and killed in minutes.
One Piece has never been a kind-hearted group!
Quite the opposite!
Fierce, cruel, bullying the weak...
These are the things they do most often.
Soon, with the cooperation of Qiao Ellie Bonney, Allen easily took out the special Devil Fruit from the opponent's body that could change the target's age, and at the same time took out Steam-Steam Fruit as compensation.
After the transaction was completed, the "Big Stomach Girl" didn't even stay for a minute, and immediately left Alabasta with her men and headed towards the next island.
No need to ask, she knew that she needed to find a relatively safe place and quickly master the power of Steam-Steam Fruit.
Otherwise, once you encounter an enemy or a navy, it is very likely that the opponent will seize the opportunity to kill you.
