"Devil Fruit?"

"Hey haha, Brother Bai Xiao is indeed very knowledgeable. Yes, I do have a devil fruit here, and I plan to give it to you as a thank you gift."

Bartolomeo was very satisfied with it and said with a smile on his face.

"I'm not interested in the Demon Fruit, but have you considered eating this kind of good thing yourself?"

"Uh, that's right, I've actually been hesitating for a long time, but I heard that eating that thing will turn into a land duck. As a man, I don't really want to be labeled as a label that I can't swim."

"This makes me embarrassed."

Speaking of this, Bartolomeo added hurriedly: "Of course, Brother Bai Xiao, you don't have any extra worries. Even if you don't plan to eat the devil fruit, this fruit can be sold to the public. Find a reliable black market and you can earn 100 million bays at the bottom."

"Is that so? This is a really precious gift."

Bai Xiao obviously did not intend to refuse. If it were the fruits brought out by Bartolomeo, it was very likely that the fruit with the ability of a 'rogue'.

Although Bai Xiao himself cannot obtain the ability to devil fruits due to the Holy Lord system, there are some people who can eat the fruits.

"Haha, since my brother is interested, I'll go and pick it up now."

Bartolomeo rushed to the room behind the tavern, and judging by his actions, the fruit was hidden here.

After a moment, Bartolomeo, who had turned back, had a locked black box in his hand. After opening it with the key, a devil fruit was indeed placed inside.

This fruit is only a little larger than an apple and is covered with grape-like textures.

Judging from the appearance of the fruit, Bai Xiao had no way of knowing what kind of fruit it was. After all, the devil fruit that had shown shapes in his memory was quite limited.

"This is the biggest spoil I have gained so far. Brother Bai Xiao, please be sure to accept it."

Bartolomeo handed the black box forward with both hands.

"I like this thing very much, so I won't say much if I'm welcome."

Bai Xiao was also very straightforward. It was rare for Bartolomeo to be in love. He had such a high-quality gift, and he refused to look like an idiot.

After receiving this unknown fruit, Bai Xiao stayed for a while. After drinking the fine wine until he was satisfied, he stood up and said:

"Then I won't keep disturbing, I have something to do."

"Brother Bai Xiao, let it go. I have a premonition that you will definitely make a huge wave of trouble in this era."

Bartolomeo's face was full of respect, and he personally helped to observe the outside world's situation. After confirming that there was no problem, he let Bai Xiao leave.

As soon as he walked out of Bartolomeo's secret tavern, Bai Xiao headed straight to the port west of Rogue Town, where the Jueying stopped, and Nami was already waiting nearby, but most of the navy's people had blocked the surrounding ports.

According to Bai Xiao's understanding of Smog, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily. No, it should be said that he has an almost crazy persistence. He will never give up until he finds him.

Whoosh.

A black shadow flashed, and two black shadow ninjas suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao and the Shadow Corps have a unique sense. Even if they are very far apart, they can communicate information together as long as they take some time.

This dark ninja will appear here because he was summoned by Bai Xiao.

“Eat it.”

Bai Xiao opened the black box and took out the demon fruit. The dark Ninja did not hesitate at all. He ate it. The devil fruit was extremely unpalatable, but the dark Ninja never picks on the taste.

It is not surprising that after eating the demon fruit, there is no change in the face of the Ninja. A capable person also needs a little time to understand his own abilities, and then he will deeply explore the fruit abilities after a long period of development and strengthening.

Bai Xiao cannot eat the devil fruit, but the dark Ninja is completely unrestricted, and he is absolutely loyal to him, so he is the best choice for eating the fruit.

As for Nami? Bai Xiao didn't want to see this little thief cat awakened any strange abilities.

"Try it according to this gesture."

Bai Xiao demonstrated a move, and the Ninja immediately learned something, crossed his hands, and his middle finger and index finger overlapped each other.

The moment of completing the action—

A smooth and flawless square transparent barrier suddenly appeared, with a width and height of three meters.

"It's true."

Bai Xiao immediately confirmed that Bartolomeo's thank-you gift was indeed a barrier fruit. The prerequisite for activate the ability of this fruit was to make such a unique gesture.

Judging from the size of the barrier released by the Ninja, the degree is far less than that of Bartolomeo, not to mention the previous fruit user, the Black Charcoal Cicada Maru.

This is not surprising, after all, it is just a preliminary grasp.

Generally speaking, after the fruit eater swallows the fruit, he can increase his ability to a level in a relatively short time. This level is just considered the "lower limit" of the devil fruit.

Then, it is an extremely arduous process of in-depth development. The development intensity depends entirely on the talent and efforts of the eater. Some talented abilities can even use the high-level technique of "Devil Fruit Awakening" to complete the sublimation of the fruit.

Bai Xiao doesn’t think there is anything to worry about about the talent and potential of the Ninja. Their learning ability is amazing, and as long as Bai Xiao finds more spells, they can be upgraded.

At this time, Bai Xiao raised his palm, the fiery red talisman seal was activated, and the explosion column suddenly blasted out and landed on the barrier.

The barrier trembled slightly, and a large amount of smoke and dust splashed, but when the smoke and dust disappeared, Bai Xiao saw the scene where the barrier was intact.

This scene was not as expected by Bai Xiao. Even though the barrier area that the Black Shadow Ninja can now be arranged is limited, the starting point alone is already amazingly strong.

"This is good news."

Looking at the black shadow in front of him, no, it should be called a "barrier ninja". Bai Xiao was in a good mood. His eyes turned and he looked to the direction of the port in the west. The sky in the distance had already become gloomy and the rain gradually slipped down.

At first it was a drizzling drizzle, but not long after it turned into a torrential rain. It intertwined in Bai Xiao's vision and formed a dense rain screen. Pedestrians on the street held their heads and accelerated their pace under the sudden rain, hid under the eaves, or ran home in the rain.

The originally lively streets soon became empty. Bai Xiao rushed to the remote port westward in the wind and rain. Not long after he started his operation, the navy discovered his traces and quickly reported to Smog through the phone bug.

"The port in the west...wait, you can't escape."
