Chapter 567 Cleverness
...
"So, it was your Don Quixote family who took the Hand Speed Fruit in advance, right? Then, please hand over the Devil Fruit! After all, your Don Quixote family still owes our captain several Devil Fruits!"
"If you want to deny it again, I will have to take it by force!"
Senior clenched his fists and spoke calmly.
"What Operation Fruit? I don't know what you are talking about."
A strange color flashed under Vergo's sunglasses. He didn't expect that the other party had also set his eyes on the surgery fruit. What about the secret operation that the navy had promised? How come it became known to everyone? Could it be that the other party also had spies in the navy?
Vergo silently took out his bamboo stick and prepared for battle!
"Hey! Oh-san! We have what you want!"
Luo climbed up from the snow and took several breaths before speaking to Senior.
"Oh-san...?"
Senior was obviously a little bothered by this title.
He subconsciously touched the prickly stubble on his chin. He hadn't shaved for several days in order to hurry on the road.
"Kid, what are you saying? The devil fruit is in your hand?"
"That's right! Are you looking for a strange fruit that is red, heart-shaped, and has special patterns on the surface?"
Luo said with courage.
"Oh?"
Although Senior didn't know what the Hand Speed Fruit looked like, after seeing Luo describe it so vividly, he was already convinced that the devil fruit was in his hands.
"Then please take the things out for me, kid."
Senior held out his hand and said.
"No! At least not now!"
Luo shook his head.
"No, you can't say no!"
Senior said calmly.
"Uncle, I want to make a deal with you!"
Luo slowly raised his hand and pointed at Vergo beside him with a cold tone.
"If you help us kill him, I'll give you the devil fruit!"
"Oh? Kid, your suggestion sounds good, but adults hate listening to children's opinions. Now just hand the things over to me. I can promise to help you solve the current trouble after I get the things."
"Hey! Stop being so arrogant, you bastard."
Vergo on the side said dissatisfiedly after hearing this.
"No! Uncle, if I give you the things now, how can I be sure that you won't treat us as trouble and get rid of us first."
Luo, who has seen too much intrigue, spoke with a clear mind.
"We are the only ones who know where the devil fruit is hidden, and I guarantee that if you kill us, you will never be able to find what you want!"
"Oh?"
Senior didn't expect that he would be threatened by a tiny kid. He immediately became interested and the two of them just stared at each other.
Luo tried hard to stay calm, fearing that the other party would see any flaw!
"Nice look, kid!"
Senior couldn't help but praise.
Luo felt that he had won. He quickly ran to the unconscious Rocinante and tried his best to pull him out of the snow, but he was too weak to do it.
"Mr. Corazon, wake up!"
"Kid, you seem very confident that I can't refuse your proposal."
Senior suddenly spoke up.
"You...what do you want to do?"
There was a hint of fear in Luo's eyes.
"Don't underestimate adults! Let me teach you a lesson!"
As Senior spoke, he bent down, picked up Rosinante, and said coldly.
"If I kill both of you, I might not be able to find the devil fruit, but if I kill only one... that's not certain!"
"you!!"
Luo was stunned on the spot!
"Well then! Kid! Hand over the things right now, or I'll kill him right away! You don't want to see him die, do you?"
Seeing that Senior had put his five fingers together and his palm had turned into a sharp knife, he was about to stab, and Luo shouted hurriedly.
"No! No! I said!"
"boom!"
The corners of Senior's mouth curled up, he let go of Rocinante and put him down, and said with a smile.
"Haha, little brat! Remember not to act smart in front of adults from now on!"
Luo looked confused.
"Okay, stay aside. I accept your proposal. I will deal with this guy, and then you can give me the hand speed fruit."
Senior changed the subject and spoke seriously.
"But you better not lie to me. There's no need for a man who doesn't keep his word to continue living!"
"Gudong!"
Luo felt that the temperature in the already icy and snowy environment suddenly dropped by several degrees. He couldn't help swallowing and his body trembled slightly.
Vergo felt that he was being looked down upon and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop looking down on me! You bastard! But it just so happens that my undercover identity cannot be exposed yet. Since you accidentally caught me, I can only ask you to save your life! Senior!"
Vergo took off his military uniform, and his naked upper body turned completely black and purple, and even the bamboo stick in his hand turned into a shiny black.
“He has actually cultivated his Armament Haki to the point where it covers his entire body! What a terrifying monster!!”
After taking a breath, Rosinante couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at Vergo in front of him.
"Luo, is the other person a marine? Is he the one who saved us?"
"It doesn't seem so, Mr. Corazon. He was the one who stopped Vergo, but he didn't do it to save us. His goal was the Operation Fruit! From their conversation, it seems that the man was also from the Don Quixote family! His name is Senior!"
"Senior...?"
Rocinante repeated it to himself, but he obviously didn't recognize it.
"Rather than that, Mr. Corazon, you should run away while they start fighting. I will stay and cover you."
Luo said worriedly.
"No, Luo, let's run away together! We agreed to travel around the world together!"
Rosinante said with a smile.
...
In the field
The battle has begun!
"shave!"
Vergo stepped on a circle of white air waves, and in a flash he was in front of Senior. He raised the short stick in his hand and swung it quickly!
"when!"
The sound was loud, like a bell hammer hitting a bronze bell!
The bamboo stick hit Senior's forehead squarely!
However, the expected scene of a bloody head did not appear. Senior's forehead also turned black gold, and the armed color successfully blocked the opponent's attack.
"you!!"
A hint of unnaturalness appeared on Virgo's confident face.
"Weak! If this is your full strength, then just admit defeat. If I capture you, maybe I can trade you with Doflamingo for some devil fruits!"
Senior scoffed.
"How dare you, rude fellow, address the young master by his name! Go to hell!"
Veins popped out on Vergo's forehead, and he swung his weapon again at a 45-degree angle and chopped it down diagonally! The angry blow hit the vulnerable neck area!
"when!"
Senior still stood there without moving, and easily defended against Vigor's full-strength attack by simply covering his neck with the Armament Haki!
"This! How could this happen!"
Virgo looked incredulous.
