The rainy land in the heart of the desert is where the desert crocodile Crocodile, one of the King's Shichibukai, is located. After running wildly in the desert for several days, I finally came to this city and let go of the crocodile I thought I was. The mounted blood lizard looked at the prosperous city in front of me. I couldn't help but admire Crocodile's trading methods. Regardless of anything else, he was able to present the management of a city in the desert to such an extent. Put it there. All are considered talents.
But this kind of admiration is only a little bit, because I remember that there were at least three cities like this in the desert four hundred years ago. Now it seems that the other two may have become victims of Crocodile's ambition. Wow, what a prodigal son. I shook my head. If I remember correctly, there should be what I'm looking for in this city now.
I wandered leisurely into the city. The flow of people coming and going made me feel like I was a human being again. I had no choice but to run around in the desert for several days when I suddenly saw a person. You will feel more friendly after that.
I pulled over a person casually and said, "Hey, let me ask you, buddy, where is the largest chamber of commerce in this city?" The person looked at me strangely: "You are from out of town, right? The largest chamber of commerce in this city is located in Speaking of Mr. Crocodile next to Mr. Crocodile's residence, that's really (omitting 3,000 words here)" After listening patiently to this guy's words, I nodded to myself: "Crockerdale Lord Dar? Damn it, you probably don¡¯t know Lord Kasa four hundred years ago. Forget it, a good man doesn¡¯t mention his bravery in the past.¡±
Crocodile's Rain Feast is very unique. The top of the pyramid-like building is a statue of a banana crocodile, and next to it is a building of a large chamber of commerce. I walked closer and took a closer look at the sign of the chamber of commerce. Well, there is no such thing. That's right, there is a small golden apple logo among the letters on the signboard, that's it.
I lazily walked in, leaned casually on the counter of the Chamber of Commerce, and waved to the guy in an arrogant voice: "Hey, I want to see your boss, go and notify me quickly." The guy looked at me depressedly. Then I went to report it. There was nothing I could do about it. We didn¡¯t look like ordinary people. The devil¡¯s cloak on my body alone was enough to make a large group of people unable to eat and drink for most of their lives. And there was a tattoo on my chest. The black cross brooch that secures the cloak is made of obsidian, not to mention the price.
Soon, the guy came out with a smile on his face: "Sir, the boss has invited me, please come with me." "Yes" nodded, followed the guy into a reception room, a man with a big beard The guy looked at me with a smile on his face: "Sir, I am Cam Carlos, the owner of this chamber of commerce. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Ah, of course I have something to do, but I'm not looking for you." I casually sat down on the sofa nearby and waved my hand: "Cam Carlos? Ask your great-great-great-great-grandfather to come see me. I am Casa."
Suddenly, the bearded man's face changed. He took a closer look at me. This guy hurriedly retreated as if he had seen a devil. Oh, I am the devil, hehehe. Soon, the door of the reception room opened. I was pushed away again, and a young man in luxurious clothes walked in. He glanced at me through the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then nodded to the bearded man following him. Then he withdrew and closed the door.
"Master Casa, I heard that your cemetery was opened recently. I didn't expect that you would come to me first." He came over respectfully with gold-rimmed glasses and poured me a glass of red wine himself: "This is the first 300 years in the world. There is a new brand of dry red that is popular on the Internet. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
"That's easy to say." I picked up the wine glass and glanced at him half-jokingly: "Cam Leo. I haven't seen you for four hundred years, but you are still so young." "What the hell?" Leo still stood aside respectfully: "It was you who helped me regain my family and property, and gave me infinite youth and life. Everything I have is thanks to you, and I am absolutely loyal to you."
"Ah, I'm happy to accept your loyalty." I put my hand on the back of the sofa and said lazily: "Do you know where the golden apples came from?" "This" A thin layer of fine hair appeared on the bridge of Leo's nose. Khan: "This is your lord's secret. I don't dare to expect to know it."
"It's okay, it's not a secret." I put the drained wine glass on the table and waved casually, gesturing for him to sit down: "But before that, I want to ask more, after maintaining your youthful life for so many years, you Do you have any thoughts?" "This" A kind of enthusiasm appeared on Leo's face: "I can only say that this life that will never age or die is indeed what countless emperors pursue throughout their lives."
"Very good, concise and concise. As expected of a person who has experienced hundreds of years of hardships. I thought you couldn't stand this immortal life and committed suicide." He smiled with half-squinted eyes.With my eyes wide open, I said lazily: "Do you know why I suddenly said that I would hand over all the power of the Chamber of Commerce to you?"
"This subordinate does not dare to be presumptuous"
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you think."
"Well." Leo looked at me carefully: "My lord created two organizations in total that year, the Golden Apple Association and the Golden Apple Tree. The two organizations were placed by the adults all over the world. Among them, the Golden Apple Association is named after The mercenary organization is an open underground secret armed force, and the Golden Apple Tree is the collective name of the Chamber of Commerce Group. The Golden Apple Association and the Golden Apple Tree complement each other. The Golden Apple Tree can borrow the force of the Golden Apple Association, and the Association can also receive Golden Apples. Establish the financial support of major chambers of commerce. This is a perfect system structure, but when the establishment of the two was completed, your Excellency suddenly announced that all rights would be handed over to us for our free development, and you chose to leave."
"Well, keep talking. I'm listening." I motioned for him to continue while eating the snacks on the table.
Leo gritted his teeth and continued: "But people's hearts are always ugly. Those leaders of other chambers of commerce and mercenary organization leaders who have been given all the gifts by your Lord like me, there is no guarantee that no one will have second thoughts about you. As long as you leave for a long enough time, After a while, those moths will naturally emerge, so"
"Oh, it's generally correct." I nodded: "That's pretty much what it means, but I don't mean to blame those guys who betrayed me. People live for themselves, but I will just take their lives." , this is a deal, a deal in which the soul is traded with the devil to obtain everything a person desires. I will understand the person who turns his back on me as saying that he no longer needs everything I give him. So, now I can tell you why I will Came here first¡±
"Oh, my lord, it's clear." "Ha, do you still want me to say it?" I laughed: "Although your loyalty is a little worse than others, you are the smartest, and you know that only I can give you everything. Everything, so you won't betray me, and I also like this smart thing about you. Now I am here to tell you that Crocodile's power will not last long, and you are ready to annex his industry. Prepare."
"Really? My lord." A look of excitement appeared on Leo's face: "My lord, do you plan to rule the world again?" "Ah, let's talk about this later." I waved my hand: "Kill Crocodile. There are others, you just need to sit aside and wait for the fishermen to reap the benefits. Now, I want to tell you the secret of the golden apple, and I want you to firmly control the lifeblood of this desert country, understand?"
"Yes, sir! I will definitely live up to your expectations!!" Rio knelt down on one knee: "I will always hold this land in your name!"
"Very good," I said slowly, "Actually, I don't have much, I'm just a user with the ability of the Blood Fruit. I told you this four hundred years ago. The reason why golden apples can give people immortality Life and even rejuvenation are actually just a magical feature of human blood. Human blood contains a special component that has been consumed since birth. It maintains the activity of human blood, and the activity of blood It is also the most fundamental element for the metabolism of other organs of the human body. However, the content of this substance in a person's body is very small, and it can be embodied to the point that ordinary people cannot see it with the naked eye. I have done experiments and put it in a person's body. When all this substance was taken out, the man died immediately, so I thought, what would be the consequences if a large amount of this substance was injected into the human body?"
With a sinister smile, I continued: "Yes, the vitality of the human body has doubled. But this kind of substance is extremely rare. It can be said that this substance has never increased since a person was born. Even my blood fruit There is no way to make it, but there is another way to get this substance, and that is to steal it from other people!! The golden apple you are familiar with is the embodiment of this substance, okay, let me think about it, almost one The golden apple requires the blood of a hundred people. The youthful life you enjoy is actually the result of the combined lives of a hundred other people. This is immortality!! It is something that other natural devil fruit users cannot achieve. Realm!! I really miss those people who were looking for me crazily for infinite life."
"So, do you know?" I glanced at Leo, who was sweating on his forehead: "I can give you another golden apple, you can eat it yourself or use it to open up the joints, but you First, you have to prepare a hundred sacrifices for me, do you understand?"
"Yes!! Sir!! Sir, I will never forget your praise for Ariel!!"
"Well, then, go get ready." Watching Leo leave, I stood up and looked at the people coming and going on the street through the huge picture window in the room: "After all, it is still human's sorrow, but the weak s lifeWhen applied to the strong, this is just a manifestation of the law of the jungle. This is the law."
