Chapter 177 The Frustrated Snow Wind

The explorer knelt on the ground, cursing in his heart.

You bring Jhin to fight us, how can we not kneel?
"Mr. Lu, how do we deal with this?"

Jhin stood on the rail, looking down at the people on the boat.

The explorers were even more shocked when they saw this. They thought that Lu Li just got a position in the Beasts Pirates, but now it seems that even King, the former leader of the Three Calamities, is quite respectful to Lu Li. If this were to get out, it would probably shock a group of explorers.

"Search for the treasure and let them go."

Lu Li was not the kind of person with a strong murderous nature. The person on the other side had already knelt down and was about to hand over the treasure, so it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to kill another person.

The leading explorer on the ship heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly turned around and shouted, "Move out all the treasures!"

As he said this, he winked at the other two explorers, and although they were very reluctant, they still took out two devil fruits as payment for their lives.

Lu Li took the devil fruit and took a look. They were quite ordinary, just two superhuman devil fruits. But for ordinary explorers, this should be their biggest gain in this world.

You should know that the devil fruits obtained in the world can also be taken out through certification, because the certification price is very cheap, at least half of the profit can be obtained. When there is a limit on the number of certifications, the devil fruit is undoubtedly the best certification target.

"Pull the boat over and move it yourself."

Lu Li gave the order when he saw the large amount of money and treasures on the ship.

Several explorers were so upset that they wanted to cry, thinking that they could not bully us like this. Not only did they rob us, but they also asked us to transport the treasures ourselves.

But none of them dared to complain, because Lu Li's hand was always on the scabbard and Jin's eyes were lingering on them.

Soon, they docked the boat next to the main ship of the Beasts Pirates and began to move the treasure.

Lu Li did not do anything extreme and left them some food and water, enough for them to reach the next island.

In the end, these explorers left in disgrace with the pirate group they formed, and only dared to complain and curse after they ran far away.

"It's a parahuman fruit, keep it for yourself."

After returning to the ship, Lu Li showed the two devil fruits to Kaido. Kaido was not interested and handed them over to Lu Li to deal with.

Kaido is the type of person who has a serious bias in his aesthetic taste for Devil Fruits. He has always favored the Animal-type, has always been dismissive of the Superman-type, and is not very interested in the Natural-type either. Therefore, the Beasts Pirates are basically all users of Animal-type fruits.

Devil Fruits are of course extremely valuable treasures. If sold on the black market, each one is worth at least 100 million Beli. Depending on their abilities, they could be sold for billions.

However, the value of the two devil fruits in Lu Li's hands is average in Kaido's eyes. In addition, Kaido thinks that Lu Li and Yamato also need to train some familiar subordinates, so this is considered an investment in his daughter's power.

Lu Li also looked at the details of these two fruits, one is the glue fruit and the other is the cold fruit. The glue fruit is a bit like the ability of MR.3 Candle Fruit, but the characteristics are slightly different.

The Cold-Cold Fruit can make objects cold. It feels like a lower-level version of Aokiji's Ice Fruit in the parahuman series. It cannot be elementalized, but if developed well, it can probably freeze a lot of things.

Although Kaido is not well educated, as a pirate who has been on the sea for decades, he is very familiar with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, so he knows the abilities of these two fruits, but he just looks down on them.

To Lu Li, these two fruits are not useless. It is also very good to exchange them for money. The certified price is about 100,000 End Coins. The price can double after taking them out. It is a very profitable certified item.

By the way, the ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex fruit that Kaido gave him did not require certification, because it was counted as a reward from the space and could be taken away directly.

After completing this mission, Lu Li suddenly realized that there were many benefits to be gained from taking risks in this sea, especially since he had the support of Kaido, and could just rob explorers if he met them.

So, in the following days, whenever Lu Li saw a ship on the sea, he would volunteer to go and plunder it.

Well, he would rob any pirate ship regardless of whether it was an explorer's ship or not, and some of the pirates who entered the New World were brave enough to fight them directly.

The result is naturally self-evident. Ordinary pirates are no longer Lu Li's opponents now. Even if there are occasionally tough and powerful ones, Jin will take action to kill them.

On the contrary, the explorers were more sensible and had a general idea in mind. When they saw that it was Kaido's ship, they would just hand over the spoils if they couldn't escape and they could still save their lives.

After two weeks of sailing, Lu Li discovered that there were unexpectedly quite a few explorers entering the new world. He had seen more than a dozen of them alone, and they all wanted to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

All I can say is that these explorers are really brave. It would be fine if they met someone like Kaido who valued talent and only wanted to rob, but if they met a "ship destroyer" like Red Hair, they would most likely have no way to survive.

Don't ever think that Red Hair Shanks is a 'good guy'. When sailing on the sea, as pirates they will of course rob, but they generally won't attack countries, they will rob pirates.

If you have no friendship with him and your ability is average, he will not give you face.

If you are unlucky and provoke someone in his area, Red Hair will give you a "ship destroyed and people killed" package. Take the supernova Kidd as an example. He has been hanging around with Kaido for so long, but Kaido only knocked him out a few times instead of killing him.

It’s a different story if you have a red-haired boss. He will be extremely oppressive and will not only steal your blueprints but also destroy your ship.

In short, sailing in the New World is a very dangerous thing. Kaido is probably the easiest to talk to among the Four Emperors. If you are smart enough when you meet him, you can at least save your life. As for the other three, it depends on luck.

Lu Li explained these principles to the person in front of him, "So, stop looking serious and take out two fruits."

Xuefeng's normally cold face was tinged with humiliation, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're so cruel!"

That's right, the Snow Wind Adventure Group also entered the One Piece world, and under the leadership of Snow Wind, the former number one in the arena, their adventure group was doing pretty well in the Grand Line.

Half a month ago, they received the news that they didn't have much time left to stay, so they decided to enter the New World to see if they could make some money in the chaos.

Anyway, they are familiar with the original works and can avoid many dangers. If they meet the Four Emperors, as long as they kneel quickly, they will be imprisoned at most. Once the stay time is over, they can return.

But they sailed carefully, and when they were about to reach their destination, they ran into Lu Li. "Why are you still unhappy? If I hadn't accompanied you today, you would all have been captured and taken to Wano Country to work as miners, right?"

Lu Li said with a smile, reaching out to take the two devil fruits, "Since we are old acquaintances, I am showing mercy."

Xuefeng felt aggrieved, but she also knew that what Lu Li said was true. If Lu Li was not in the Beasts Pirates, she would not even have room for negotiation.

Although the two devil fruits came at a high price, if they could survive, there would be a chance to make a profit later. If they were captured and forced to mine, there would be no benefit at all.

After all, the time they stay there is not much. They will return before they are escorted to Wano Country, and then all their time will be wasted. It is a dream to want to go to Wano Country to learn Haki.

"Lu Li, give us a chance. We want to join the Beasts Pirates."

After handing over the fruit, Yukikaze calmed herself down and proposed a deal.

"Oh? What's in it for me?"

Lu Li looked playful.

"Haven't you already taken the benefits?"

Xuefeng pointed at the devil fruit in Lu Li's hand.

"This is for Mr. Kaido, not mine, so don't talk nonsense."

Lu Li said with a serious expression.

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Jin who was sitting at the bow. "Mr. Jin, these pirates are old acquaintances of mine in the Grand Line. We have some friendship. Since they are sensible, would you consider recruiting them?"

Jin looked at Lu Li in confusion. He had recently gotten used to being Lu Li's thug. He could also tell that this group of pirates knew Lu Li. He just didn't understand why Lu Li asked him about recruiting them.

Since Lu Li's position in the Beasts Pirates is military strategist, recruiting combat forces is within Lu Li's authority, or in other words, it is what he should do.

Why are you asking me?

Jin was very confused, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "To join the Beasts Pirates, you need more sincerity."

Lu Li gave Jin a thumbs up in his heart and looked at Xuefeng with a smile, "You see, this thing can be done, but it's still a little lacking."

Of course Lu Li has the power to decide whether to allow Xuefeng's pirate group to join. Now is the expansion period of the Beasts Pirates. Some pirates, after being robbed before, realized the gap between themselves and the Four Emperors and expressed their desire to join. Lu Li considered the situation and directly recruited them.

The reason he didn't agree to Xuefeng directly was simply because he wanted to get some more benefits.

Yukikaze's adventure group is not small. We've been in the Grand Line for a few months, and you think you can get rid of me with just two devil fruits?

"you……"

Xuefeng was furious, but he knew that he was at the mercy of others, so he gritted his teeth and said, "We still have two devil fruits. We will give them to the Beasts Pirates. I hope the Governor can take us in."

As she said that, she asked her men to go to the cabin again and take out two devil fruits.

Lu Li then put the fruit away contentedly, "Yes, from today on you are all members of the Beasts Pirates. Don't worry, I'm always very kind to old acquaintances."

Eventually, Xuefeng's ship joined Kaido's fleet, and several core members boarded the main ship with Lu Li's permission.

Among the devil fruits given by Xuefeng, three were animal-type devil fruits. Lu Li gave them all to Kaido. The remaining one was a parahuman-type devil fruit, which Kaido did not want.

“It’s so nice to meet fellow countrymen.”

Lu Li felt refreshed after handing over the fruit to Kaido, "You see, I didn't take it for myself. I only kept one devil fruit."

Xuefeng didn't expect that Lu Li would give most of the devil fruits to Kaido, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she understood the key.

This guy must have robbed a lot! He has no shortage of fruits!

Yes, during the past half month of sailing, Lu Li visited many pirate ships and now has five devil fruits in his hand, including the one of Xuefeng.

This is his certified limit in the One Piece world, and taking more will be useless.

"So, are you planning to go to Sky Island?"

Xuefeng looked at the direction the fleet was sailing and thought about her next plan. Now that they had joined the Beasts Pirates, they had a backer. They still had a chance to get back the things that were robbed by Lu Li by robbing other people.

"This has little to do with you."

Lu Li said earnestly, "I advise you that the waters of the new world are too deep and you cannot grasp them."

He gave this reminder just for the sake of their old acquaintance. Lu Li felt that the Snow Wind Adventure Group as a whole was still too weak in the New World. It was fine for them to take advantage of the chaos, but many of them would also die in the chaos.

Xuefeng looked at Lu Li with a strange look in his eyes, "I asked you to come, right?"

Lu Li shrugged and said nothing.

He turned around and hooked his fingers at Xuefeng and the others, "Come, I'll take you to the cram school. Don't accuse me of cheating regular customers."

Xuefeng's eyes lit up when she heard that. She almost forgot that she was on the ship of the gold medal lecturer Baishou Keaiduo!
