Chapter 99: Señor and the Meganeura Dragonfly (5-star review required!)
Board.
I watched the figures in the snow slowly move away, and finally turned into a few black dots and disappeared from my sight.
Gel turned around and saw Senio and Kulokas who were still on the boat and asked:
"Don't you want to go for a walk? The scenery here is quite magnificent with thousands of miles of ice and snow-capped mountains. Moria is staying here this time. That guy said that he felt that there seemed to be new progress in the development of the Shadow Fruit recently, and he hid in his room alone to study the power of the fruit."
Kurokas rubbed his palms and said embarrassedly:
"No, I want to visit an old friend and bring some gifts. I also want to buy some advanced medical equipment here. So Captain, can you please ask for more funding? 500 million may not be enough."
"how much money do you need?"
Ger asked directly.
Kurokas stretched out his hand and counted on his fingers. After careful calculation, he finally had 3 fingers left.
"Well, about 3 million, is that okay?"
Crocus knew that thirty million was not a small amount. If it were on an ordinary Haize ship, he might only get that much money by capturing and selling a pirate captain with a bounty on his head. But it was different for Captain Gol.
"Click!"
"Here are 200 million Baileys."
Without saying a word, Gel placed a large suitcase on the deck and gave instructions.
"If you see any advanced and useful medical equipment, just buy it. Don't worry about whether it can be placed on the ship. If it can't be placed, I can put it away for you first, and then build you an advanced and spacious medical room when we get a new ship."
Without waiting for Kurokas to speak, Gel took out several large bags of things, which contained precious medicinal supplements, snacks and biscuits, fresh fruits and vegetables, and most importantly, cigarettes and alcohol, especially plum wine. Gel had already guessed who Kurokas's old friend was.
"I have prepared gifts for you."
"Hahaha, thank you so much, Captain! Then I'll be off!"
As he spoke, Kulokas carried the bags and took Lab off the boat.
Gel looked at the last remaining Senior and asked:
"What about you, Senior? Do you need anything? Or do you want to stay on the boat because of the cold?"
Captain Gill is very considerate to his companions.
Senior exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Ger with burning eyes, and asked respectfully.
"Captain, can I go with you this time? I also want to contribute to this big family."
"Well, it's not impossible for you to go if you want, but it's a little troublesome."
Seeing that Gel frowned slightly, Senior asked in frustration:
"Is it because I'm too weak? I understand, Captain! I'm sorry, I will work hard to improve my strength as soon as possible and try to help you soon!"
Senior clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling, but when he thought about his current strength compared to the two monsters, Wilburmoria, he was indeed just a drag.
"Well, no, I mean it's really troublesome to have to prepare a new coat for you."
Captain Gill had no empathy at all, and Senior was almost knocked to the ground by this answer.
"then."
In a trance, Senior saw something flying towards him. He subconsciously reached out to catch it, and then he saw that it was a black jacket with a red fire cloud printed on it, the same style as the one the captain was wearing.
"Put it on, we're getting ready to go!"
Seeing that Gel and Weibull had zipped up their coats, Senior also quickly put on his coat.
"By the way, Senio, do you want to eat a devil fruit? I happen to have a fruit here that I think is suitable for you."
Gel suddenly remembered the ancient devil fruit he got from Xia.
The Animal type possesses great strength and stamina, as well as amazing recovery abilities, and the Ancient type is much stronger than the ordinary Animal type, making it perfect for the tough guy Senior who enjoys hand-to-hand combat.
"Captain, I am willing to eat the devil fruit. I want to become stronger!"
Senior said seriously.
Geer took out the big bayberry and said with a smile:
"Hehehe, this is the ancient form of the Meganeura dragonfly of the Animal-type Bug-Bug Fruit! I've looked up the information. The Meganeura dragonfly is a prehistoric insect, a giant among insects. This dragonfly not only has super strong flying ability, but also has a 360-degree field of vision and is particularly sensitive to moving objects. The key is that its brain is much smarter than most insects, and its hunting success rate is close to 100%, making it one of the most successful hunters among all animals!"
"That's what the book says, but we still have to eat it to know whether it's really effective or not. How about it? Do you want to try it?"
"Can you really give it to me? Such a precious thing! I don't have it yet..."
Seeing that Senior was still talking nonsense, Gel stuffed the entire devil fruit in his hand into his mouth.
"Hmm!? Hmm?!"
"Gudong!"
Senio struggled for a few times and almost suffocated on the spot, but finally swallowed the devil fruit whole.
"Ugh! What a horrible taste!"
"Hey, hey, hurry up and try out your abilities!"
Ger and Weibel squatted down and prepared to watch his performance.
"Power! Captain! I feel my body is full of strength! Is this the ancient devil fruit? It's so strong!"
Senor said excitedly as he felt the huge changes happening inside his body.
"Oh? So strong? Come on, come on, give Weibull a punch quickly so I can feel it!"
Gel also became interested, but he still secretly asked Weibull to remember to let the sea go and not beat the man into depression.
Senior was no longer as calm as before, and was eager to try out the power he had just gained.
However, he restrained himself and took off his coat first for fear of damaging the new clothes given by the captain.
"Here I come! Be careful, Weibull, I feel like my punch is many times stronger than before!"
"bring it on!"
Weevil didn't waste any words and waved at Senior, indicating that he was ready and could attack at any time.
Senior clenched his fists, and with a burst of power under his feet, his figure suddenly flashed in front of Weibull.
"Boom!"
"boom!!"
The two men faced each other with a punch, and then saw Senior being blown away, hitting a pile of rocks on the shore heavily, and a long deep groove was plowed out of the snow on the ground.
"Didn't I tell you to be gentler?"
Gel looked at Weibull with some resentment.
"Ah! I've been a little gentler, brother."
Weibull scratched his head somewhat aggrievedly.
Just as Gel was about to go over to "collect" Senior's body, a rustling sound came from the hole in the ground.
"Pah! You're too strong! If it weren't for this ancient devil fruit that greatly increased my physical strength and recovery ability, I would have lost consciousness after receiving that punch just now."
Senior spat a mouthful of bloody saliva to the side, stood up again and said.
Gel also nodded in approval. The fact that he was not defeated by a single punch showed that Senior's physical condition had indeed improved a lot.
"I'm really going to use my full strength from now on! What happened just now doesn't count, I forgot to transform!"
