"What a joke! What's going on with this guy's physique? He's actually not afraid of seawater!"
Looking at the scene before them, the many pirates could be said to be directly dumbfounded.
Ability users being afraid of seawater, was the most common sense knowledge in this world.
As long as they were pirates, they basically knew this information.
But.... today they had personally seen, El fall into the sea, but he hadn't been affected at all.
It was as if he wasn't afraid of seawater at all!
"Just what's going on with this guy!" A pirate couldn't help but complain.
Ever since El had joined the Rocks Pirates, he had been constantly in the limelight.
He had become a formal crew member the moment he boarded the ship.
And then in an extremely short period of time, he had become an executive of the Rocks Pirates.
What's more, he had rapidly risen with extremely strong talent, and had taken the lead in becoming a main force executive before John, Kyo, Ochoku and others!
Afterwards, on Hachinosu, he had fought against two Navy top combat powers, and hadn't been at a disadvantage.
And he had even killed an Admiral, such amazing achievements!
Now, they had personally seen again, that El, who had eaten a Devil Fruit, wasn't afraid of seawater!
As members of the Rocks Pirates, they had seen countless great storms, and world powerhouses.
But they had truly seen a monster like El, who defied common sense, for the first time!!!
"How is this possible!"
John's pupils contracted violently, and he looked at El in disbelief.
His only chance of winning, was to let El fall into the sea, and lose his combat power.
Now, El was actually not afraid of seawater, which made John fall into a desperate situation.
If he continued to fight, he was clearly no match for El.
But if he admitted defeat, wouldn't he have to hand over one billion Berries, and three Devil Fruits?
El stood on the deck, took off his top, and asked while wringing out the water.
"Are you going to continue, John? Do you still think you have much of a chance of winning now?"
The current him, couldn't kill John yet.
After all, the Rocks Pirates had rules.
That executives couldn't kill each other at will.
Especially main force executives!!!
Because Rocks was precisely relying on the main force executives, to conquer the world for him.
If El killed John, the news would definitely be transmitted to Rocks' ears.
Because this kind of thing..... only needed a little investigation, and it would be known that he had done it, so it definitely couldn't be hidden.
And once the news was heard by Rocks.
Even if he valued El again, he would punish him or something.
For example, he had brought back the Poneglyph, but he wouldn't get a single reward or something.
So, out of many considerations, El couldn't kill John now!
"You guy!" John said with a ferocious expression.
Although he still wanted to continue, but.... he also knew very well.
That there was a considerable gap in strength between him and El.
What's more, he had been injured badly just now in order to split open the wooden board under El's feet.
The current him, had almost no chance of winning.
"If we continue, I can only guarantee that you won't die here, but..... I can't guarantee how serious your injuries will be."
Captain Rocks, had only said, that main force executives weren't allowed to kill each other, and cause casualties.
But as long as he didn't kill John, and severed his Achilles tendon, and his arm tendons or something, it should be fine, right.
John's vicious gaze, stared at El and was silent for a few seconds, and then he instructed the subordinates behind him: "Hand over all of the things on the ship, to him."
Although John was very unwilling, he had no choice.
"Captain John, these are the things that we've collected for a long time, are we really going to give them to him like this?"
"That's right, Captain John, it took us a lot of time to collect these things, wouldn't it be too much of a pity to give them to him so easily?"
Hearing John's words, those crew members said with some hesitation.
One billion Berries, plus three Devil Fruits, the value of these things, was enough for them to enjoy a long time of wealth and glory.
So if they gave them to El so easily, they were still somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
"Swish!!!"
The moment these two pirates' words fell.
John swung his blade without hesitation, and accompanied by a ferocious sword energy flashing, the two pirates were instantly beheaded.
"What, you still dare to disobey my orders?" John stared at the few people, and said coldly.
That group of pirates, saw the death of their two companions, and were immediately frightened into a cold sweat, their hairs stood on end, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
They obediently handed over all of the things to El.
"Then thank you, John."
After taking the one billion Berries, and three Devil Fruits into his bag, El couldn't help but click his tongue and thank him.
He had to say, John was really a money-giving boy!
With these three Devil Fruits, plus the two Devil Fruits in Kurama's mental space.
He now had five Devil Fruits in his hand.
He believed..... that he could already unlock the chakra power of the Three-Tails.
Hearing El's words of thanks, John was furious, and although he was unusually angry in his heart, he couldn't vent it.
After El put these things away, he returned to his ship.
John's ship, had been destroyed by himself.
But El's ship could still sail, after all, it was only that a corner of the ship's cabin had been smashed by the Sea King.
Just as El, wanted to steer the ship and leave, John suddenly shouted: "Hey, El, you guy, are you planning to leave us behind and leave by yourself?"
He had to know, that the area they were currently in, was the Sea Kings' nest!
This kind of place, as long as they were normal pirates, they wouldn't dare to approach at all.
So, in this sea area, if there were no accidents, there probably wouldn't be any ships sailing on this sea for half a year or five years.
And John's ship, had also just been destroyed by himself, and was no longer able to sail.
If El left just like that, to be honest, what was left for John was very likely to be death.
El grinned and smiled: "Want to get on the ship, John? Five hundred million Berries for me to give you a ride."
Hearing El raise the price on the spot, John frowned tightly and said coldly: "All of the things on the ship, have already been given to you!"
"How could someone like you, who has joined the Rocks Pirates for such a long time, only have these things." El smiled slightly.
The time that John had joined the Rocks Pirates, was much earlier than El.
El didn't believe that, the treasures that John had stored only had these things.
"You guy, don't be too much!" John's anger rose from his heart, and he roared in a low voice.
He had really been haunted by ghosts today, and had encountered El.
If he was given another chance, he would be beaten to death and he still wouldn't have the idea of wanting to snatch El's Poneglyph.
After all, in the end, he not only hadn't obtained the Poneglyph.
But the treasures worth one billion Berries on the ship, and the three Devil Fruits had all been taken into El's bag.
Now, El had raised the price on the spot again, and wanted to collect a boarding fee of five hundred million Berries from him!!!
"I'll give you ten seconds to consider, if you don't respond, then I'll take it that you're refusing to get on the ship, and want to stay in this place and perish on your own."
"Ten!"
"I'm leaving."
After El finished counting to ten, he directly steered the ship and prepared to leave.
"Bastard!" John cursed angrily.
Facing John's curses, El didn't pay attention, but instead steered the ship and continued to sail forward.
As El's ship continued to move forward, the distance between them was getting further and further.
At this time, John was also a little flustered, and quickly shouted loudly.
"Come back El, I'll pay five hundred million Berries!"
Although he was unusually angry, John didn't have a choice.
Because he knew, that if El really left just like that.
He was very likely to starve to death in this Sea Kings' nest!
What's more, if he was starved to death, Rocks also wouldn't be able to pursue El's responsibility.
So, in order to survive, he could only pay El a boarding fee of five hundred million Berries again.
"One billion Berries!!!"
