Chapter 137 The Converged World (Seventeen)

At night, Jobin and Luffy were chatting. "Abin, where are you from?"

"I'm an outsider." Jobin replied with a smile.

"Wai Lai? Where is that?" Lu Fei scratched his head, puzzled.

"By the way, aren't you going to find your companion?" Jobin asked.

"I..." Luffy was taken aback, and he was about to start emo again.

Qiao Bin quickly said: "It's better not to go, so as to save them from dying in the city."

"Aren't they dead?" Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he asked a little excitedly.

"Are you dead?"

"I...I'm not dead." Luffy paused, and asked curiously, "But...why?"

"As far as I know, Xiong is Shichibukai and a member of the Revolutionary Army."

"Revolutionary Army?" Luffy frowned while crossing his arms.

"Well, it should be your father's subordinate." Jobin replied with a smile.

Luffy glanced at Jobin and said nothing.

"Hehe, this island is either pirates or hunters, what do you care about?"

"Why did you help me?" Luffy asked with his hands on his knees, with a serious face.

Faintly, Jobin actually felt a little mental coercion.

It seems that after the previous encounters, Luffy has also grown.

"I want to kill people...to seize treasures."

"Murder? Seize the treasure?" Lu Fei looked puzzled, "Who are you going to kill? Seize what?"

"Devil Fruit." Jobin replied with a smile.

Lu Fei was startled, and then asked solemnly, "Why?"

"It can be sold for money." Jobin replied seriously.

"Are you still short of money?" Luffy asked in surprise.

"As far as I know, your group doesn't have any other expenses. Do you have any money?" Jobin asked.

Luffy looked embarrassed.

Even his thick skin like a city wall was almost broken by Jobin's words.

The straw hat map is actually very poor.

This kind of poverty is not due to anything else, but simply because their captain can eat.

In fact, if it weren't for Nami's control of finances, I'm afraid the Straw Hat Pirates would have been poor enough to eat dirt.

In fact, most of the time, the Straw Hats are not doing well financially.

If it weren't for the small number of people, they could be self-sufficient through fishing, and I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago.

Before the real name of Nika fruit was revealed, Luffy often needed to eat a lot of food.

On the one hand, it is because of my own food intake, and on the other hand, it is also due to consumption as a battle.

For example, Luffy's second gear is to accelerate his own blood circulation to generate high-temperature steam, thereby gaining strength and speed bonuses.

Among them, the speed bonus is the most.

But as we all know, energy is conserved.

To create such an astonishing amount of energy, a large amount of food must be accumulated.

And the food in the past will also be stored as fat.

Then when it was time to fight, the whole brain began to burn and release.

Thereby generating huge energy.

This is why there is no "Qi" in the world of "One Piece", but Luffy was able to create the second and third moves.

It can be said that the reason why the Straw Hats are poor is that on the one hand they are only pursuing adventures, not vicious pirates in the traditional sense.

On the other hand, it is the recovery after various wars and the consumption of various supplies.

There is no sustainable income in the first place, and he has to be responsible for the huge food expenses of the captain.

Therefore, the finances of the Straw Hats have always been in deficit.

Of course, Nami would not say such things.

Robin knew about it, but Robin wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up.

If they hadn't made a fortune in Sky Island, I'm afraid they would have died of poverty long ago.

Especially the maintenance of the Wanli Sunshine, as well as the combat weapons of the crew, this is all money!

Of course, the anime will never tell these truths.

Seeing that Luffy stopped talking, Jobin smiled, and then asked, "I heard you are a rubber fruit user?"

"Yeah." Luffy pinched his cheek and pulled it with a smile.

Luffy's cheeks were stretched straight out.

"I am a little curious." Jobin explained with a smile: "After all, I have never seen a devil fruit ability user before, so I am a little curious. Is your fruit ability rubber?"

"That's right." Luffy nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you going to kill me?"

"No." Jobin shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in your fruit, but I have some research on rubber. Would you like to hear it?"

"Do you have research on rubber?" Luffy was obviously a little confused.

"I don't know much about those industrial terms myself, so I won't show off, but rubber has two properties."

"Characteristics?" Luffy looked confused.

"Hard, and soft."

"Huh?" Lu Fei twitched his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Luffy, you said those admirals, why are they so strong? Even a mere Shichibukai can easily fly you group. Is it really just the fruit's special ability?"

"Ah? Didn't you still talk about rubber just now? What does it have to do with Qi Wuhai?" Lu Fei became more and more confused.

"You said...there are so many people in the navy headquarters, why there are only three generals and one marshal except your grandfather from the beginning to the end? I don't believe that there is no one in the navy who can match the combat power of these four people, and I don't believe it either. Everyone can allow someone who is inferior to them to be their immediate boss."

"What are you trying to say? I don't understand." Luffy said dissatisfiedly, crossing his arms.

"So my conclusion is... the three generals and one marshal must have powerful abilities that others don't have."

Luffy raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

He just looked at Jobin like a fool.

It seems to be saying, aren't you talking nonsense?

"Then why can't other people do this kind of ability?" Jobin asked a key question.

Luffy, who was originally absent-minded, was suddenly taken aback.

"This special ability is the fundamental difference between generals and marshals from ordinary navies, so the question is, does it mean that with this special ability, you can become a general or a marshal?"

"Is this... possible?"

"Of course...impossible." Jobin refused.

Seeing Lu Fei's astonished gaze, Jobin said with a smile: "But this thing is just like the key to open the door, the ingredients for cooking, it is the key to becoming a general and marshal!"

Luffy finally understood, but he was even more confused.

"What the hell are you going to say?"

"Hehe, now that you understand this, then... have you ever thought about whether your rubber can do the same?"

"Eh?" Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"As I said before, rubber has two properties, one is hard." Jobin stretched out his right hand, made a fist movement, and then punched the air.

"collapse!"

There was an empty sound, and in Lu Fei's solemn expression, Jobin's punch actually made ripples in the air!
"The other one is soft."

Having said that, Qiao Bin turned his fist into a palm and pushed lightly.

"call--"

A gust of palm wind blew past, blowing everything in the room to pieces.

Lu Fei stared blankly at everything in front of him, completely stunned.
