Chapter 834: Changing Destiny

...

"niu~!"

"Boss Gul! Delicious BBQ and Takoyaki are here!"

A yo interrupted Ace's thoughts.

He looked up at Xiao Ba, who was running over excitedly with food in his hand. There were many other species living on Bird's Nest Island! So Ace didn't think there was anything wrong with an octopus man running freely on land.

Distance sometimes does not produce beauty, but only brings estrangement, unknown and fear. The murlocs travel around the world with the trade activities of the Bula Chamber of Commerce, allowing ordinary humans to often see and come into contact with the murlocs, get used to their existence, and then slowly accept them.

The Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island also became one of the member states of the World Government early on, and it is also a member state with the right to attend the World Government meetings. In addition, three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea also came from Fishman Town.

In short, the end result of a series of factors is that the status of fish-people and mermen in the international community has been significantly improved.

Thinking of this, Ace couldn't help but frown, and then all the information that he didn't think was wrong suddenly came flooding out of his mind!

The first person he thought of was his good friend Jinbei, whom he had just met after arriving at Bird's Nest Island! Like most other fishmen, Jinbei also worked under Captain Gol, and he also had another identity, which was the former Seven Warlords of the Sea!

The other is the troublesome woman who trained with him and Yamato and often clung to Captain Gol - Queen of the Nine Snakes, Boa Hancock! She is also one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea!

And! If the Fishmen are supposed to live on Fishmen Island, which is 10,000 meters deep in the sea, then the homeland of the Furmen is located in the depths of the more distant New World, the Furry Principality of Zou Island, which is known as the country on the back of an elephant. And their king! Just happens to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Masaka! Is this a coincidence? Could it be..."

Ace shuddered all over, feeling as if he had accidentally discovered a shocking secret of Captain Gill!

He couldn't help but stare at the back of the man next to him with his eyes wide open, disbelief written all over his face.

"This... shouldn't be possible!"

...

Gel didn't notice that Ace was looking at him as if he had seen a ghost. He picked up the last black and gray wrinkled melon and began to study it.

(Ding! Analysis successful, Nature-type. Swamp Fruit!)

"Huh? Rubbish nature-type?"

Gel first casually complained about the Swamp-Swamp Fruit, which had the strength to compete with the Smoke-Smoke Fruit for the weakest natural-type fruit, and then he couldn't help but grinned.

If I remember correctly, this thing's "ex" seemed to be a wretched pirate named Caribou. That guy was a huge fan of Teach. He chose to go to sea in order to follow in Teach's footsteps, and he even regarded becoming Blackbeard's younger brother as his lifelong dream!

Hahaha, I don’t know what kind of expression he had when he saw Teach working illegally.

Gel guessed secretly in his heart.

However, being able to see his idol whom he had admired for a long time at the last moment before his death, Caribou should be considered to have "deserved to die"! Oh no! It should be said that he died without regrets!

"Hey hey hey!"

On the side, although the few people didn't know what Captain Gir was thinking, they knew it was definitely not a good thing just by looking at the smile on his face that lowered the temperature around them by several degrees.

"May I...May I ask, sir, is there something wrong with this devil fruit?"

Bakara asked nervously.

"Hahaha, that's not the case. Don't be so nervous. I just suddenly thought of something interesting."

Ger smiled and waved his hand.

...

"You've had a hard time running around. Come, let's have some barbecue together. After you're full, you can go downstairs and have a good rest."

Gel took the large iron plate brought by Xiao Ba and greeted the two of them.

"Oh! That's a great feeling!"

"Ouch!"

Dais, who had been standing obediently aside after "waking up", couldn't help wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth when he smelled the fragrance. He reached out to take the barbecue, but was stepped on hard by his teammate.

"No! No! Thank you for your consideration, sir!"

Bakara stopped Dais and continued.

"Fortunately, we have successfully delivered the three devil fruits. We should also return to report to the boss as soon as possible."

"I see... What a hardworking and good employee."

Gel said as he stuffed the barbecue directly into Dais' arms.

"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. Take the food with you and eat on the way."

"Wow! Thank you, sir!"

Dais was delighted and picked up a skewer of barbecue and started to eat it. Bakara looked at his stupid teammate with disdain and didn't say anything more.

"Thank you Lord Gel for the reward! If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first!"

"and many more!"

Gel called out to the two of them and then walked towards Bakara.

"Haha, now that I'm here..."

"Ah! Sir, what else can I do for you?"

Feeling Captain Gel's face getting closer and closer to her, Bakara was nervous but also a little expectant.

Gel leaned close to Bakara's ear and whispered softly.

"Aba Aba Aba..."

"Ah this..."

"Shh! This is a serious matter and you can't let it leak out! Do as I say!"

"Ah, yes! As you command! Lord Gel!"

The two of them whispered for a while, and finally glanced secretly at the freckled boy beside them.

"Um?!"

Ace suddenly felt a chill and goose bumps all over his body!

...

"Wow~"

Ace stared blankly at the sea.

Before leaving, Bakara suddenly gave him a warm "big" hug, catching the innocent boy off guard.

Thinking of what Gel had said before, that he wanted to turn from a "boy" into a "man" and calm down, Ace became even more curious about what "mysterious mission" Captain Gel had given to Bakara.

"By the way, Brother Geer! What did you guys talk about just now..."

Ace scratched his head and asked casually.

"Oh, nothing much, I just let Bakara drain your...luck!"

Ace clenched his fists, wanting to punch this guy who was breathing heavily while speaking.

"But then again, if you really like her, it's not impossible... It just so happens that you have a face that will die young, and you can tell at a glance that you have a bad fate and bad luck. It would be appropriate for you to find someone who can control your luck!"

"She's only a few years older, but she's still a rich girl..."

Captain Gill muttered to himself.

"Brother Ge Er, please stop joking with me! Besides, I don't believe in fate, luck, or anything like that!"

Ace put on his cowboy hat in a cool manner and jumped lightly onto the reef where he had been squatting before. Unexpectedly, with a light step, the huge rock under his feet shattered and buried him.

"Boom!"

"Ouch!"

Hearing the noise, Gel didn't even have the interest to look back. For people whose luck was taken away by the Yunyun Fruit, even drinking water would get stuck in their teeth, and falling flat on their faces would be a common occurrence.

Gel picked up the fishing rod and couldn't wait to try out the effect of changing his fortune!

The Air Force must have been unlucky. Even if the king of lords came, it would not be possible that there was a problem with their own technology.

"Hehehe! This captain will definitely catch a big fish today! Even Jesus can't stop me!"
