CHAPTER 148 ROBBING (1/2)
Island No. 47.
About a dozen people were slowly passing by the edge of the street and did not attract anyone’s attention. Even the ordinary people who noticed these people immediately regained their gaze.
Many of the dozen or so people have a circular smiling face sign on their shoulders or behind their backs, which is the symbol of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo.
Walking for a while.
More than a dozen people met a black man who had been waiting here in a dark corner.
“Did you bring it?”
Among the people from the Donquixote Family, the leader Gladius walked forward and asked the black man.
The black man stood up and said, “How can the boss give me something so important to carry with me? I’m just here to connect with you and take you to our designated trading place.”
“Huh, you are really cautious.”
Gladius snorted.
The black man laughed and said, “After all, you are the famous Donquixote Family. We are just small-time people. We naturally have to be on guard. Did you bring all the money with you?”
Gladius stared at the black man for two flickers and waved. Several Donquixote Family members behind him stepped forward and opened the suitcase, which was densely packed with Berries of the largest denomination.
“…”
Looking at Berries in the box, the black man swallowed his saliva and said to Gladius, “The deal was 400 million Berries and 500 million worth of ammunition, but I only see Berries here.”
Gladius’s face remained unchanged. “Arms can’t be traded here all at once. You can take us to the trading place, don’t play any tricks!”
“Come on.”
The black man smiled and said: “Our boss has prepared things for you.”
Under the leadership of the black man, Gladius and others took up the loaded Berries and left the dark alleyway and headed for a shore dock.
Just before they left, a shadow in a cloak suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked in the direction of Gladius and others’departure, with a slightly weird smile on his face.
“Whoop, Donquixote Family, the next force to deal with… What on earth is such a large deal?
Just as Laffitte was about to follow him, The Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly sounded. He connected Den Den Mushi and on the other side came Robin’s voice calling him back to the ship to assemble.
“… Well, I know, but I’ve found something interesting here. A big deal for Donquixote Family could have an unexpected payoff for us.”
After a moment of silence on the other side of Den Den Mushi, Robin relayed Ross’s message: “Captain says you can move freely and be safe.”
“All right.”
Laffitte raised a strange curve at his mouth, put the Den Den Mushi in his pocket, turned into a dark shadow and quietly followed Gladius and others.
Gladius and others moved more and more remote towards the outskirts of the island, but Laffitte’s concealment and tracking abilities were beyond doubt and even so, he can still easily follow them, without anyone noticing.
Finally.
Gladius and the members of Donquixote Family came to a shore of the Sabaody Archipelago, where a medium-sized ship was parked alone on this remote shore.
“Boss, the people of Donquixote Family are here.”
The leading black man came to the side of the ship and shouted at the ship. Then they heard footsteps sound coming from the ship. Soon a man with a Captain cap and a brown beard came down with twenty men and a wooden box in his hand.
Gladius glanced at the wooden box in the captain’s hand, waved to his subordinates and asked them to open it again and revealed a large number of Berries in it.
“Well, 400 million Berries…”
The brown-bearded Captain looked at the box of Berries, his eyes flashing with greed and a smile on his face. He slowly opened the box in front of him.
In the dilapidated wooden box, there is a Devil Fruit, which has a big difference from Zoan and Paramecia. The whole body is khaki in color and the surface looks like sand.
