One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

As if he heard the noise, Luffy also appeared at the door at some point, leaning his head to look at the box in Carl's hand.

He thought it was Karl himself hiding something delicious!

But when he saw what was inside the box, he was so frightened that he jumped up and hit his head hard on the ceiling.

"Ouch~~ My head"

"Luffy? What are you doing!"

"Is that a devil fruit?"

"It should be, but I'm not sure! Because this is also the first time I've seen"

"It's a bit similar to the one I ate."Luffy looked at it, and seemed to recall some bad memories, and continued,"It tastes bad, it tastes very bad."

"Is it unpalatable?"

"It tastes 10,000 times worse than the worst food!"Luffy said very exaggeratedly, and then looked at Carl,"Are you going to eat it?"

""Yeah, I've decided!" Carl grinned.

In fact, there is a reason why he has not chosen to eat this devil fruit for such a long time.

As an important part of the power system of One Piece, the price of devil fruit is naturally not to be underestimated. Even the rubbish devil fruit can be sold at a high price.

And this fruit is actually the start-up capital that Carl left for himself to open a restaurant.

Perhaps many people will express their incomprehension. Why don't you choose to eat such a good thing?

With power, you can make more money in the future and become stronger.

This does sound like a good choice, but it also has risks, because Carl does not have a devil fruit illustration and does not know the power contained in this fruit.

If it is a powerful fruit, such as the natural devil fruit eaten by the three admirals of the navy, it is natural to make a lot of money like winning the lottery jackpot, but it may also be some rubbish fruit, such as the animal-type dog fruit·watchdog form?

Of course, some people may say that risks are accompanied by opportunities.

But for the same multiple-choice question, everyone's choice may be different.

To put it another way, it is like you suddenly won 10 million in the lottery in your previous life, so how will you spend the money?

Choose to use the money to invest, use money to make money, and make more money, but correspondingly you will also bear the risk of losing everything, or deposit it in the bank, earn interest every month, and live a life that is not rich, but you don’t have to worry about life. Busy days? Or open a small shop for yourself, not asking for much money every day, just find something to do for yourself and enjoy leisure time?

Everyone has different choices, and it is hard to judge which is better.

Before meeting Luffy, Carl obviously already had his own idea, which was to sell the devil fruit and use the money to open a restaurant at the Navy Headquarters.

If it were another world, he might choose to use the money to travel to various places and see scenery he had never seen before, but forget it in this world full of pirates.

He was afraid that he would be killed before he spent all his money.

In addition to this, there is another reason.

That is, Carl believes in fatalism. In his opinion, since the devil fruit is the secret treasure of the sea, then It must be related to the sea and this great pirate era.

If the vortex of this world is compared to a huge magnet, then the devil fruit is undoubtedly a variety of iron blocks. As long as you eat it, you will inevitably be drawn into this vortex.

In other words, Carl believes that if he eats the devil fruit, no matter what choice he makes later, he will set sail like countless young people of this era, whether he becomes a navy, a pirate, or is buried in the sea.

This is an inescapable fate, and this is obviously unacceptable to Carl, who has made up his mind to lie down.

That's why he hid the fruit in his bed and vowed not to eat it until the desperate moment.

But now, he is going to break the rules.

"Is it unpalatable?"

"Well, it tastes really bad!"Luffy said seriously.

"But compared to the hardships we may face in the future, it is hard to eat...What does it matter?" Carl has made up his mind and picked up the devil fruit to observe it."You are right, Luffy"

"Eh? We? So, you���Should you board my ship?"

"Don't be too happy yet, it depends on whether it will give you face!"Karl rolled his eyes at him and raised the devil fruit in his hand,"Let it decide whether I am worthy of being your partner."

"You are my partner, I have already acknowledged you, so there is no need for anything else to decide!"

"But how can I, who am so weak, be worthy of boarding your ship!" Carl's eyes were blazing with fire, and he shouted loudly,"Luffy, have you forgotten what you promised me last night?"

"We want to be the enemy of the whole world! Only by becoming the strongest can we achieve everything we imagine!"

"I will become strong! Become the strongest one!"Luffy said,"Carl, you don't have to be like this. Eating the Devil Fruit means you will never be able to swim again!"

"and...and....This thing is really unpalatable!" Luffy said seriously,"I really didn't lie to you."

After chatting all night last night, Carl seemed to have gotten used to Luffy's way of thinking, so he didn't complain at this moment.

"If I could, I would also like to become a strong person! After all, that is my dream!"

"If it is a powerful fruit, then let us work together towards that goal...."

"If it is a garbage fruit, then please take my dream and let it resound throughout the entire ocean!"

"Luffy!"

Carl bit the devil fruit in his hand with a determined look, and prayed in his heart.

【If you really have spirit, help me with this���Bar....】

"Uh-huh~~~"

An indescribable taste instantly filled Carl's mouth. Almost every muscle and cell in his body expressed that it was unpalatable, but he still resisted the urge to spit it out and took bite after bite.

In the end, he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Luffy..."

"What happened?" Luffy, who had been watching from the side, asked anxiously.

"You're right. It's true....It tastes terrible!"

Karl fell to the side

"What is the fruit?"Luffy asked. He already understood the other person's will and knew that if the fruit was not good, the man in front of him would really entrust his dream to him.

And he really didn't want to miss such a good partner.

"Superhuman Mechanical Fruit"

"God, indeed, is watching me!"

"So..."

"Let's make a scene!"

"captain!!!"
