One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 94 The Ownership of the Fruit

Rorschach, holding the fruit in his hand, glanced at the redhead in front of him and asked, "Do you want some?"

"If you don't want it, I'll keep it!"

Just as Rorschach was about to put it away, the red-haired man quickly stopped him.

"Of course we want fruit without any side effects!"

"It's time for our Red-Haired Pirates to add another Devil Fruit user."

"Brother Luo Xia, how much does this... fruit cost?"

Rorschach looked around, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.

"11 billion, how about that?"

This price was the result of careful consideration by Luo Xia. The most important factor was the color. If it weren't for the color, Luo Xia could have asked for over two billion.

Redhead paused for a moment, then quickly turned his head. "Beckman, give me the money, give me the money!"

"Ok!"

The next second, two gold cards flew out of Beckman's hand, and Rorschach caught them with two fingers in a flash.

Rorschach weighed the fruit in his hand and then handed it to the redhead who was standing not far away!

Red-haired Shanks received the fruit with both hands, as if receiving some precious treasure, with utmost solemnity.

"Well, you'd better have someone try this fruit now to see if there are any side effects, otherwise we won't be responsible once the product is sold!"

"If there are any side effects, I might help you deal with them; if not, then everyone's happy!"

Redhead nodded. He had originally planned to just take it and eat it whenever someone wanted.

Red-haired Shanks handed the fruit to Beckman and said, "Beckman, you decide. I'm not eating it!"

"All right!"

Beckman, holding a half-smoked cigarette, glanced around. Some of the Red-Haired Pirates members who saw him looked away, while others lowered their heads.

Others waved their hands repeatedly.

He looked utterly helpless, clearly indicating that he didn't want to eat the Devil Fruit, and even had a mental resistance to it.

However, one person was staring intently at the green fruit, and even drooled.

Even Yasopp, who was watching from the side, was somewhat surprised.

Beckman smiled faintly, holding the Devil Fruit in his hand, and said, "What? Lucky wants to eat it?"

"Hehe, First mate, I'd really like to eat it, and the color of this fruit matches my clothes perfectly."

Upon hearing what the chubby Raki said, Rorschach noticed the green clothing under his long robe. It was a striped garment that matched the fruits he had just sold.

Raki took a bite of the flesh and bone and laughed, "And the Glint-Glint Fruit has no side effects... I don't think it should have that strange taste, right?"

"I've heard that Devil Fruits taste terrible, the worst things in the world!"

Lucky glanced at the Devil Fruit again and then asked Rorschach, "Rorschach, does this fruit have any strange taste?"

"If I had it, I wouldn't eat it!"

Rorschach's expression remained unchanged, but a prank idea was brewing in his mind.

Luo Xia smiled slightly and then said, "Because there are no side effects, although this kind of Devil Fruit doesn't smell like anything on the surface, the flesh of each fruit is actually plump and full."

"It's incredibly delicious!"

Raki frowned, somewhat disbelieving, but since he was the inventor of this fruit, he reluctantly believed him to some extent.

Raki glanced at the fruit in Beckman's hand, then looked at Beckman again and laughed, "First mate, that fruit looks delicious. Give it to me, I've already decided to eat it!"

"Well, okay, you were already fast, and now with the Glint-Glint Fruit, your strength will probably increase a lot!"

Beckman handed the fruit to Lucky, who held it in both hands with an expression that suggested he had believed Rorschach's lies.

"Everyone! Watch me devour a Devil Fruit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Laki opened his mouth wide and took a big bite of the fruit, biting off two-thirds of it.

"Terrifying!"

Just as he put it in his mouth, his companions crowded around Raki, asking curiously, "How is it? How is it? Raki, why are you just biting it without chewing?"

"Yeah, yeah, you were the first in our pirate crew to eat a Devil Fruit, why don't you share your experience?"

Even the red-haired guy came over, staring at Luki with curious eyes.

At this moment, Rorschach's eyes were fixed on Raki across from him, ready to stop him immediately if he made any vomiting gestures.

"Um... Captain Red-Haired, whatever you do, don't let him vomit it up, or it won't work!"

Rorschach was still uneasy, so he decided to just tell him directly.

Redhead scratched his head, then seemed to realize something. "Oh, so the 'not bad' thing was just a lie to fool Raki!"

"No wonder Raki wasn't chewing, he was like he was frozen in place, now I see!"

Redhead stood with his hands on his hips and laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha, that's hilarious!"

After the group of red-haired crew members finished laughing, they looked at each other and all fixed their gazes on Luki.

Laki took a step back, sweat beading on his forehead from nervousness.

Redhead shouted, "Everyone, help our comrade eat the fruit!"

"Oh!!!"

In the following process, some people squeezed Raki's mouth, while others simply covered Raki's mouth to prevent him from spitting it out.

Gudong~

After much effort, these companions finally managed to get Raki to swallow the fruit in his mouth.

The whole process was extremely difficult, but fortunately it was successful.

"Ptooey! Ugh! This tastes awful!"

"That fruit was as rotten as fruit that had been sitting for years; how could there be something so awful in the world?"

Raki seemed very angry, and even his appetite increased significantly.

Shanks glanced at Lucky, then walked over to him, poked him on the shoulder, and asked, "Lucky, how come you just eat all the time? Don't you feel anything?"

"Boss!!!"

Raki turned his head and shouted, but as he spoke, a green laser shot out of his mouth.

If Shanks hadn't dodged in time, the laser would have hit him squarely in the face.

"Whoosh! That was dangerous!" the redhead said nervously, hands on his hips.

"This... Boss, I didn't do this, you can't hit me!"

Raki covered his mouth, looking completely innocent.

Redhead cracked his knuckles. "Hmph, it's you! Show us your abilities now, or I'll personally knock you into the sea!"

Raki swallowed hard; he sensed that his boss wasn't joking this time.

A faint blue light appeared in Luo Xia's hand, and a green bean full of vitality appeared in his hand.

However, they couldn't see this glimmer of hope.

Rorschach stared intently at Shanks' severed arm, then glanced at his Senzu Bean, thinking to himself, "Someone always said that if you had a Senzu Bean, you could definitely make Shanks' severed arm grow back. Today, I'll give it a try!"

Beckman noticed Rorschach's expression, but ignored him. Rorschach was now the Red-Haired Pirates' most trusted person, just like Rayleigh, who was always silently drinking beside him.
