Chapter 1240: Chapter 722: Corresponding Fruits (Part 3)

There was also a horned youth, decked in athletic gear.

“Welcome.”

The waitress greeted them with a smile.

These people looked like trouble, but the Spider Bar was a mixed bag, with merchants as well as pirates. There were those who caused trouble initially, but under the bar’s influence, they were driven out.

Over the years, the pirates who came here naturally gathered some intelligence, and as for those who were clueless, they were unafraid.

The patrons inside the bar looked at these unfriendly newcomers with intrigue.

This was a rare sight, to see the bar’s people engage in battle.

However, the next words they spoke made the waitress’s face change abruptly.

“Who is Miss Valentine.”

The one speaking was the horned youth.

He glanced around at the people inside this small bar—those wearing firefighter outfits, a little painter, a waitress, a couple of hefty guys… Especially the waitress, whose expression changed the most prominently.

“Is it you?”

Dellinger looked at the advancing waitress, reaching out to grab her, “Come with us.”

Whew!

Boom!!

In the next instant, a small black object shot forth, exploding on Dellinger’s hand, creating a plume of smoke and allowing the waitress to jump back and hide behind others who had reacted quickly to protect her.

“So you know our identity…”

Sarah pulled off her headscarf, her disheveled hair turning into spikes, “Crocodile’s people?”

The Baroque Workshop’s code name hadn’t been used in years; only the former boss Crocodile knew it, but they had long since cut ties. Now, they didn’t belong to any organization.

“The one just now…”

Through the smoke, Dellinger’s slightly angry voice sounded. The smoke dissipated, revealing his blackened hand and a grim face.

“What did you hit me with!” Dellinger looked at the firefighter-dressed Mr. 5.

The former codename Mr. 5, real name Gem, with brown skin, picked his nose again, extracting a round booger, assuming a flicking stance towards Dellinger.

“Booger bomb…”

“Soru!”

Before he could flick it, Dellinger turned into a blur, flashing next to Gem, and delivered a foot like a sword to Gem’s abdomen, as if piercing through him, you could even see the outline of the foot behind Gem.

With just one kick, Gem clutched his abdomen, dry heaved, and fell to the ground unconscious.

“Gem!”

“Mr. 5!!”

The other people in the Spider Bar exclaimed loudly, taking a fighting stance.

“Seems like no one is backing down, we only want Miss Valentine… Forget it, let’s take everyone!” Dellinger turned around, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth:

“The Governor said we’re modeled after you. I refuse to believe it, we’re clearly much stronger than you!”

…

East Sea, Branch 153.

A few years ago, after Captain Morgan was defeated and fled by a pirate, peace was restored here, especially with a new Branch Captain named Kas who brought tranquility to the sea.

In seas where pirates rampaged and the Navy and Revolutionary Army clashed, this area was very peaceful.

But now, that peace was shattered.

Boom!

The branch’s building was blown apart, and the town’s civilians watched as their Captain was taken away by a brown-skinned man, with one hand holding a sledgehammer.

Some who remembered the era of pirates in the East Sea recognized him.

That was ‘Man-Demon’ Gin!

Once active in the East Sea, but rumored to have followed Catastrophe into the Grand Line, and unexpectedly returned!

But why capture a branch captain here… Their captain, apart from being a legendary Ability User, had nothing attractive about them.

Aside from the East Sea, in the Grand Line, they also captured a Headquarters Captain named Vapour, also an Ability User.

One had consumed the Spe-Spe Fruit, becoming a speed user, and the other consumed the More-More Fruit, becoming a multiplication user.

All were subordinate fruits to the More-More Fruit; the former could accelerate up to ten times, the latter could enlarge contacted objects tenfold.

As for the captured Miss Valentine, she was a Kilo-Kilo Fruit user.

Everything was related to the concept of the More-More Fruit.

Sage wanted exactly these!
