The wind and snow on Mignon Island finally stopped all day and night. The entire island was covered with a thick layer of snow, which was half a meter deep.

But the weather still hasn't cleared up, with haze covering the sky, and from time to time, fine snowflakes are flying in the sky.

It is no exaggeration to say that this island is inaccessible. As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast expanse of white, and not even the slightest trace of animals can be found.

The abandoned building was covered in snow and looked unremarkable.

In a complex of buildings on a high ground, covered by ice and snow, bonfires were burning. The abandoned houses were not useless. The furniture and the wood supporting the houses had all turned into flames that could warm people.

Above the bonfire, pieces of meat of unknown material were placed. As the flames danced, wisps of aroma filled the entire room.

In the large room, at least a dozen people gathered here. Barrerus sat on his tall, worn-out sofa, next to the Devil Fruit that had never left his sight.

"Lord Barreiros, according to the report of the previous brothers, we haven't seen anyone from the World Government coming to trade. Do you think there will be no problems with them? Should we contact you again?" Someone asked impatiently.

.

After all, billions of Baileys are involved. After success, everyone here will become a rich man, so they will naturally be very concerned about this.

Barreiros looked very calm, but his expression turned ugly when he heard what his men said: "I have always told you to stay calm when encountering things. Only in this way can you not be affected. Look at you now

If the people from the World Government arrive and you are still so nervous, you may not be able to make the other party think. I'll say it again, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems. Just calm down.

If you can't calm down, just go outside and calm down before coming back. Now we just need to wait patiently. The world government will take this matter more seriously than us."

He patted the box next to his hand. It was obvious that this Devil Fruit was the core of the whole thing.

"Yes, yes, the captain is right, everyone is worried. Maybe the people from the World Government are more nervous than us. Come, fill your stomach first. Later, we have to change shifts with the brothers outside. Everyone

If you work hard for just one more day, we will get rid of this kind of life completely."

Barrerus has the supreme authority in this team, but in fact, there is already a crisis hidden in the entire team. If a Devil Fruit worth billions of Baileys had not been found this time, the crisis might have exploded in a short time.

.

The reason is that as the boss, Barreiros is becoming more and more self-willed. Although this is a hierarchical and strict world, if you don't treat your subordinates as human beings, there will always be people who feel resentful.

, problems will arise over time.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold air was swept in along with a figure mixed with wind and snow, making the temperature in the room seem to drop several degrees suddenly. The bonfire was blown by the wind, and the flames became distorted.

The slant is much higher.

"Lord Barreiros, there is a situation on the distant sea. A government ship has arrived." The urgent voice made everyone in the room stand up before they could curse.

The same goes for Barreiros. He stood up with a bang, and it could be seen that he was actually not that calm in his heart.

His eyes flickered for a while and he said: "Okay, let's follow our original plan. Let's fill our stomachs first. It's not easy to stop the ship in this damn weather now, and it will take time to get here. If we don't have enough food to support us, we won't be able to wait.

It’s easy to go wrong.”

Everyone started to take action. In such a cold weather, no one knew what situation they would face later. Of course, they had to fill their stomachs, otherwise the cold wind would blow, and even taking action would change in the event of an accident.

It has to be difficult.

In an inconspicuous small house not far from this house, there are still a few figures who can clearly see what is happening here through the cracks in the broken windows. Unlike those anxious pirates, the figures in the room

All of them had relaxed faces and extraordinary demeanor.

The clothes are not as bulky as those of the pirates, especially a child with horns on her head. She only wears a thin long gown, as if the cold specially avoids her.

For Yamato who has mastered the ice ability, he can't feel the cold at all.

The people next to her include Smoker, Rosinandy, Bucky, and Allen, who is also not wearing much.

At this stage of Allen's combat power, the external temperature that exists in nature rarely has much impact on him. As long as he is not in some special places, he has no fear of cold or heat.

"Lieutenant General, it seems that people from the World Government are here. When should we take action?" Bucky looked ahead eagerly.

They arrived here yesterday, but took no action because the action plan they formulated was to be implemented after the other party's personnel arrived.

"You are always so impatient. Didn't you agree that you would wait until the people from the World Government arrive before taking action? Now they have just arrived, and even this group of pirates haven't taken action yet. Why are you so anxious?" Small

Ge glanced at Bucky and mocked.

Bucky snorted coldly: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just sharing the Lieutenant General's worries. You little white-haired kid knows nothing. Why does the great Uncle Bucky need you to teach him how to do things? Humph, I'm kidding."

Rosinandi couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead, looked at Allen and asked: "Have these two guys always been like this?"

"Well, it's always like this." Allen has long been used to it. It seems that Rosinandi was a little uncomfortable after returning from a period of absence. "Today was pretty good. I have to take action soon. I can still be more restrained. Maybe usually.

Just take action.”

Rosinandi was a little curious: "Lieutenant General, who is more powerful among them now?"

Before Allen could answer, Bucky couldn't wait to speak first: "Of course it's me. The little white hair just ate a natural element. Uncle Bucky has mastered the two-color domineering power. Of course, the natural element can't be used anymore."

Just like before." This is what makes Bucky proud. You must know that in the beginning, he was able to beat Smoker at will. Later, Smoker ate the natural fruit. Bucky, who was not domineering, took advantage of Smoker.

There is no other way. Ever since I mastered the two-color haki, the previous situation has returned.

"Hmph, it's just two-color domineering. After I master it, you will definitely not be my opponent." Smog won't lose in the formation.

The three Allens were watching the excitement, and Yamato's eyes were bright. Of course she knew how powerful Haki was. Unfortunately, she was still too young to master Haki because her body was still far from developed. At this time, she would awaken the power of Haki.

It is very harmful to the body.

When they spoke, their voices did not calm down, but they could not hear anything outside. This naturally relied on Rosinandi's fruit ability, and even the next actions were arranged based on Rosinandi's ability.

There was movement in the house not far outside. Several people filed out of it. The wind and snow blew and they got in through the gaps in their clothes. It was like a knife piercing the skin, making people shiver. , the body leaned forward and curled up, with the butt raised, like a big quail.

"Damn it, it's so cold here." Someone complained.

"Hey, who says it's not the case, but since you're going to get rich soon, it's better to be patient for now. When you get the money, you can enjoy it."

"Bah, bah, bah, this is such a bad weather. Stop talking, save your energy, and hope the people in the World Government don't do anything stupid."

The figure quickly disappeared into the wind and rain, and they also didn't notice that someone not far away was watching them quietly as they walked away.

"Let's start taking action!" Allen said: "Yamato, Rossi, whether the plan can succeed or not depends on you, especially Yamato. Don't think about fighting. The most important thing is to get the devil fruit."

"Yes, Lieutenant General." After all, Yamato has been in the navy for a long time, so she naturally understood that this was not the time for her to be willful.

After giving a semblance of a salute, Yamato's body began to change. From the original cute little girl, she directly changed her form. Layers of white hair appeared like silk and satin, and then her body shape. As Yamato The transformation was completed, and the originally cute little girl turned into the form of the dog fruit and the god Oguchi.

Her hands and feet turned into four hooves, and her white hair was the same as the ice and snow outside. With a light jump, she passed directly through the dilapidated window and landed on the snow outside, as if she had merged with the ice and snow.

The strange thing is that there was no sound at all, and only traces of being stepped on the snow could be seen.

That was the result of Rosinandi Fruit's ability. Yamato quickly ran on the snow, and before the door over there was closed, she jumped in directly.

Along with her are countless snowstorms rolled up by Yamato's abilities.

In the room, countless blizzards suddenly poured in, which made the people inside a little annoyed: "These bastards didn't know how to close the door when they went out. They are really rude."

"Hey, hey, close the door quickly!"

"Did something come in? I seemed to have seen something just now."

The sudden snowstorm gave everyone in the room no time to react, and the white snow created conditions for Yamato to sneak in. When someone discovered her, she had already arrived in front of Barreiros.

"have……"

After all, Barreiros was a former commodore. He finally reacted when Yamato was about to approach, but it was already too late.

[Wushi Bingya]

A ball of icy breath spurted out from Yamato's mouth, wrapping Barerus in it. In an instant, the surface of Barerus' body was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Yamato had already grabbed the box in his mouth, and with great force on his feet, without even making a sound, he jumped through the broken glass and disappeared into the wind and snow outside.

Only then did everyone in the room understand what happened.

"Lord Barrerus!"

"The captain has been attacked, please save the captain."

Balerus turned into withered ice. Fortunately, it did not freeze for long, and there was a burning bonfire next to it. It didn't take long for Balerus to recover.

"Captain, the Devil Fruit has been taken away!"

Bareirus' face was extremely ugly. Of course he also discovered this: "That is a Devil Fruit ability user. Although I don't know the specific situation, based on the situation it showed, it is probably a very rare fantasy beast."

Kind of, because the only abilities he shows are freezing and sound disappearance."

"Lord Barreiros, what should we do now?" someone asked in a panic.

The deal was about to begin, and at this moment, the Devil Fruit was snatched away, just like a joke.

"Don't panic, let me think!" Barreiros said, suppressing his panic and began to think seriously.

He seems to be calm on the surface now, but in fact he is already very upset. A user with the ability of a fantasy beast species suddenly appeared and snatched away the fruit. Especially at this moment, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been planned for a long time.

This also means that it is very likely that the transaction between them and the world government has been targeted a long time ago.

As for how the news leaked out, it was naturally not from him. Barreiros was sure of this, and it had to do with the World Government.

But now is not the time to think about these things, but what to do next. The people from the World Government who came to trade have arrived. At this time, it is too late to leave - the most important thing is that they have worked hard to plan for so long.

If everyone knew that the Devil Fruit had been taken away, everyone would probably go crazy.

Even Barreiros didn't dare to think about what these people would do in the future.

After a long silence, Bareirus's face kept changing, and finally he showed a sinister look: "Since the Devil Fruit has been lost, we will simply stop doing nothing and wait until the people from the World Government arrive, and then directly destroy it.

Kill them and get the money and get out of here."

"But……"

"There is no but, this is our only way!" Now that he has made his decision, Barreiros should not hesitate.

It seems that they still have a way to escape, but this is also a road of slow death, because all their previous experiences have been put on this devil fruit. If they cannot get the money, they will have no way to survive at all.

"Call all of us and prepare an ambush. Different from the previous plan, we don't need to be prepared this time. Once we confirm that the people from the World Government have money and take them to the appropriate place, we will obey

My order is to launch an attack directly."

"The guy who just robbed our Devil Fruit?"

"We have no time to care about him now. Let's take out the sea-floor stone weapons we have always treasured and arrange for manpower to pay special attention to the surrounding situation. If the guy who snatched our Devil Fruit just now appears again, we can shoot him directly without asking for instructions!
