Chapter 150
At that moment, with a whoosh, the box flew quickly into Chris's hand, which he immediately opened.
It was a white, apple-shaped Devil Fruit, shimmering in the sunlight, looking exquisite and beautiful.
"Apple-shaped, looks like it's Paramecia, Viagra hahaha..."
Burgess raised his arms high and burst into loud laughter, displaying unparalleled generosity.
Doc Q gave Cavendish, Kuro, and Gin a vicious look, and said with a grim smile, "If only those three haven't eaten Devil Fruit, then who could it be?"
Luo, carrying the Demonic Sword Kikoku, remained as aloof as ever, and said something.
"It's the same white one as the one Bartolomeo ate."
Hawkins remained expressionless, his voice low and menacing as he said, "Judging from its appearance, this is a very powerful Devil Fruit."
Cavendish waved his hand and said directly, "I don't want to eat Devil Fruit. You guys do it."
Bartolomeo looked at him and sneered, "Without eating Devil Fruit, you'll never be my match."
"With your Swordsmanship, you can't break through my Absolute Defense at all, hehehehe..."
Desaya looked at the Devil Fruit in Chris's hand, a look of doubt on her pretty face, and asked, "What kind of Devil Fruit is this? I vaguely remember it."
Nami clapped her hands, her beautiful eyes lighting up as she exclaimed in Satori, "I remember now!"
"This is Paramecia Pressure-Pressure Fruit. After eating it, you can control atmospheric pressure; it's very powerful."
Honey Queen smoothed her light golden hair and said with a smile, "The Pressure-Pressure Fruit, didn't we discuss that?"
"I think it was Reiju who said it last time, hoping that Chris would eat this Devil Fruit. I didn't expect it to actually happen now."
Alvida, carrying a large iron club, smiled charmingly and generously, "After careful consideration, this Devil Fruit is indeed very powerful."
"Silently, controlling the Air Pressure, then detonating. Tsk tsk, incredibly powerful."
Carmen nodded in agreement, saying, "It is indeed a very good fruit, but I wonder if Chris will eat it."
Reiju looked at Baccarat, her eyes crinkling with a confident smile, "I think it would be really suitable for Chris to eat this Devil Fruit."
Of all these people, only Baccarat knows Chris's true situation. With the Copy-Copy Fruit Devil Fruit; that's beyond doubt.
However, she would definitely not say this, after all, it was a top secret, something that couldn't be known by anyone else.
"He won't eat it; this one isn't suitable for him."
Baccarat smiled gently and said, "As for which one to choose, Chris already has the answer in his heart, so we don't need to worry about it."
Just then, a rare look of excitement appeared on Kuro's usually serious face, and he said quickly in a hurried voice.
"Captain, this Devil Fruit is perfect for me."
"If possible, Captain, please give him to me. I beg Captain."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Chris, his attitude extremely sincere and humble.
Gin glanced at Kuro and said coldly, "Since you're so enthusiastic, I won't argue with you. Here you go."
Lafitte patted him on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said something very politely.
"Gin, I feel this Devil Fruit isn't quite right for you; it would be more suitable for Kuro."
"After all, his exceptional intelligence allows him to better utilize the power of the Pressure-Pressure Fruit; you should understand that."
Gin nodded slightly, saying nothing more, indicating his agreement.
Burgess looked at Kuro and burst out laughing, "Looks like this guy really likes the Pressure-Pressure Fruit, judging by all the pleading and bowing."
"He looks like a Clown, it's so funny, hahaha..."
Doc Q said with a sinister smile, "That's right, the way he bows is really ugly, like a dog, hehe~~"
At this moment, Chris calmly said, "If you like it, just say so. Don't do all that nonsense."
After saying that, without hesitation, he threw the Pressure-Pressure Fruit to Kuro.
Kuro caught the Devil Fruit with both hands, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile.
"Yes, Captain, you're right, there's really no need to be so polite."
"However, thank you for the Captain's generosity; I will remember your kindness."
Without saying a word, he brought it directly to his mouth and took a big bite...
Lafitte looked at the ashen-faced Kuro, twirled his cane, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Now, the team's strength has been further enhanced."
"It seems the Division Commander Challenge will be fierce in a while!"
Luo nodded in agreement, "Being able to manipulate Air Pressure is indeed a very powerful ability, and it's not easy to deal with."
Hawkins looked at Kuro and said in his deep voice, "Judging from his appearance, I am no match for him."
Van Augur habitually tapped his shoulder with his gun and said expressionlessly.
"They acquired two Devil Fruit as soon as they entered the Grand Line, greatly expanding their crew."
"That's fate!"
Burgess, being the most impatient of them all, hurriedly said to Kuro, "Stop dawdling, quickly use your ability and let us see its power!"
Carina looked at Kuro, sizing him up, and asked doubtfully, "We shouldn't be able to see (Nuo Zhao's) Air Pressure, right?"
Mei Di smoothed her light blonde hair, smiling sweetly, "Air Pressure is invisible, so it's definitely not visible."
Kaya looked at Makino, a sweet and innocent smile blooming on her pretty face, and said happily, "I'm so happy to see Lord Kuro become stronger."
"If Father knew, he would be very pleased."
Makino gently patted her little head, her expression very Gentle. "Of course."
"You and your uncle are both kind-hearted people who won't hold grudges about the past, so you'll naturally feel genuinely happy."
At this moment, Kuro adjusted his glasses, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and rationally stated, "Very strong. This Devil Fruit is indeed the most suitable for me."
"With my intelligence, once I develop to the point of Awakening, I will definitely be able to control the Air Pressure of the entire space, and even detonate everything."
"Excellent! I firmly believe that my name, Kuro, will definitely be among the top powerhouses of the future!!"

Chapter 150
Two hours later.
Alabasta Kingdom, Rainbase.
Inside a luxurious room in an underground casino.
Knock knock knock...
A crisp knock on the door interrupted Crocodile's thoughts.
"Come in!"
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and a slender, beautiful woman walked in.
She wore a hat, walked with an elegant and noble gait, and exuded a strong scholarly air; one could tell at a glance that she was a well-read person.
It's Nico Robin, who hails from Ohara in the West Blue!
"Boss, news just came from Whiskey Peak that the Devil Fruit we stole has been taken by the Chris Pirates."
Robin leaned back on the sofa, smoothed her long, black hair, and smiled gently, saying, "Moreover, they are heading to the Alabasta Kingdom."
"He said he wanted to defeat you, boss, and become the next Shichibukai."
Upon hearing this, Crocodile, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed, couldn't help but burst into laughter and said something.
"A bunch of ignorant brats, what kind of trash are they?"
Crocodile took a drag of his cigarette, looking at the Banana Crocodile in the pool. They were all enormous, entirely green, and swimming leisurely.
"The first bounty was 100 million Beli, the second was 300 million Beli, these were all just random figures put out by the Navy."
Crocodile sneered and said disdainfully, "How could a mere newcomer, who hasn't even been to the Grand Line, have such a high bounty?"
"The current navy can no longer deter this sea; its influence has become extremely weak."
"If that brat Chris dares to come, I'll throw him into the pool and show him what happens when he messes with me."
Robin nodded slightly, her eyebrows arching, and said with a smile, "Going against the boss is Chris's suicide."
"However, reports came from below that they had all fainted and had no idea what had happened."
"That Devil Fruit was taken away just like that."
Robin frowned slightly, a look of doubt on her pretty face, and murmured, "What kind of ability could make so many people faint?"
"What!!"
Crocodile sat up straight, nearly dropping his Cigar, and exclaimed in surprise.
His previously calm expression turned into one of utter shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
"What did you say? Everyone fainted? How is that possible?"
Crocodile took a drag of his cigarette, shook his head repeatedly, and said incredulously, "Impossible! How could that brat Chris possibly possess Conqueror's Haki?"
"He's just a newcomer; he absolutely cannot use this ability."
Upon hearing the words "Conqueror's Haki," Robin was puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, she realized she had never heard of such an ability.
Looking at Crocodile with her beautiful eyes, she asked with a charming smile, "Boss, what is Conqueror's Haki?"
Crocodile gradually calmed down, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and began to explain.
"The so-called Conqueror's Haki is an ability possessed by only one in a million people."
"The world's most powerful individuals all possess this ability."
Crocodile's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he coldly said, "Chris is just a rookie; he couldn't possibly have this kind of ability."
"The only explanation is that he released it unintentionally; it's impossible for him to have mastered such power."
"Such a promising brat can't be allowed to live! I'm going to destroy him with my own hands!"
"Pass down the message: keep a close watch on the Chris Pirates' whereabouts, and report back immediately if they arrive in Alabasta."
"I'll go there myself and slaughter them all."
Shock.
Robin was utterly shocked.
That one in a million people possesses such an ability is terrifying.
Chris, this young man, is incredibly talented.
It really scared her!!
After regaining his senses, he heard Crocodile say that and sneered inwardly.
"Still so arrogant and conceited, he doesn't take anyone seriously at all."
"Crocodile, you will regret your arrogance."
She blinked her beautiful eyes, smiled sweetly, and agreed, saying, "Okay, boss, I'll give the order."
After speaking, she walked slowly towards the door with elegant and dignified steps.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and Robin stepped out, gently closing it behind him.
She didn't leave; she leaned against the wall, standing gracefully, her eyes flashing with wisdom as she analyzed the situation carefully.
"Crocodile is too arrogant, always acting like he's the best in the world, and he's completely unaware of his own problems."
"They keep talking about that brat Chris, they don't respect him at all."
"Such an arrogant person is destined to fail. I can't stay with him any longer; I must leave."
Robin stroked his refined chin, pondering the young man, Chris.
"I was deeply impressed when I first saw his bounty; I was very curious about how he did it."
"Once the bounty reached 300 million Beli, I collected detailed information about him, but I still couldn't find the reason."
