Pirates: Dark Smoker, never lose three times in a row

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next day.

Smoker looked at Dalton and smiled.

"Dalton, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Before Dalton could react, the attentive ministers had already welcomed him to the carriage and rushed all the way to the castle.

Dalton: "..."

In the castle, Smoker and Dalton came to an empty single room.

Sanai was guarding at the door.

Dalton stared at Smoker, full of vigilance, anger and doubts, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh.

After holding it in for a long time, he just said: "I didn't expect that my master was actually a navy..."

Smoker didn't say anything, just smiled.

Dalton took a few deep breaths.

"Sir, since you knew about Wapol's plan, why didn't you stop him in advance?!"

"Now that it has happened, the Drum Kingdom is in danger..."

Smoker took a puff of his cigar.

"Asking you to report is to leave a way out for the Drum Kingdom..."

"Don't worry, I have other backup plans, you just need to be obedient."

"Dalton, I ask you again, Wapol is gone, are you willing to succeed him as the new king?!"

"Me?" Dalton was stunned.

Although he cared about the country, he had never thought about this question...

After thinking for a while, he nodded.

There was no way. He counted on his fingers and it seemed that he was the only one who could take the lead among the ministers.

He also understood that he was just Smoker's agent,

but at least he could protect the country with his meager power.

Moreover, the conditions given to him by the other party were also very good.

No need to pay taxes, no need to work,

Just use devil fruits as research topics in future medical research...

After thinking for a long time, Dalton finally nodded.

"Okay, I agree to succeed the throne!"

"I also hope that you can bless the Drum Kingdom!!"

Smoker nodded.

"Then hurry up and prepare for your succession ceremony..."

Dalton was stunned: "Is it too urgent?"

"Urgent? Not at all, it's best to succeed tonight and then issue a notice immediately!"

"What communiqué?"

Smoker explained, and Dalton was shocked.

"I understand, thank you for your advice! I'll do it right away!!"

Smoker nodded and left a Den Den Mushi.

"Hurry up, there's not much time left for you and the Drum Kingdom."

"I'm not used to living in a castle, so I'll find a hotel in the town below tonight, and you don't have to worry about me..."

Dalton: "How can that be..."

Smoker suddenly said in a stern voice: "What I say is what it is! No need to question!! Do you think you'll be free tonight?!"

Dalton was choked and speechless.

Smoker called Sanai and the two left.

Dalton frowned and watched the two leave, and when they disappeared in the wind and snow, he ordered the guards next to him.

"Pass on my order, all ministers must gather at the castle within an hour!"

"Let the Minister of Communications prepare the national notification telephone bug immediately, and then let the Minister of News contact the reporter."

"Right away!!"

"Yes!"

...

After leaving the castle, Smoker and Sanai walked in the dense forest.

The sound of reindeer could be heard faintly in the distance.

Sanai felt freezing cold as he walked on the road.

"Why are you rushing on this night road...Wouldn't it be the same if the snow and wind are less tomorrow?"

"Have you forgotten your sister?"

"I have my own plans and will not change the time to cater to you, but outside of the plan, I am still willing to buy some time for you..."

Hearing Smoker mention his sister, Sanai suddenly fell silent, tightened his clothes, and quickened his pace.

After a while, the snow and wind gradually dissipated, and a full moon hung in the sky.

The moonlight was scattered in the snow, and there was a silver light everywhere.

"It's so beautiful...I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful scene in such a snowy country!"

Suddenly, Smoker thought of something.

"By the way, it hasn't come out for a day, and it's time to let it out!"

After saying that, he released the darkness and released the little eagle.

However, how could the birds of Summer Island stand the cold of Winter Island.

After the little eagle came out, it first chirped happily, and then shivered from the cold.

Smoker hurriedly took out a big blanket and covered it with it.

The two people and the bird walked like this.

Suddenly, the little eagle seemed to have discovered something, cried out, and came behind a tree.

The two of them went over and saw

A mushroom-shaped fruit grew.

"Devil Fruit?!!"

The little eagle opened his mouth and was about to eat it.

"Wait!" Smoker was shocked and pinched his mouth.

The little eagle groaned and showed a wronged expression.

Smoker touched his head: "This is not food, and it doesn't belong to you..."

Sanai frowned and said: "You don't want me to eat it? I'm not interested in devil fruits..."

Smoker smiled and shook his head.

Judging from the shape, this fruit should be the human-human fruit.

Judging from the timeline, Chopper should eat this fruit soon.

"This fruit is called the Human-Human Fruit, which can turn animals into humans and possess human wisdom!"

Sanai was stunned: "You actually know the name of the devil fruit?!"

"In that case, isn't it appropriate for Xiaoying to eat this fruit?!"

Smoker smiled slightly: "I don't have the ability to identify fruits, I just happened to have read the information about this fruit!"

"Xiaoying is already very smart. Even if he can't speak, there is no problem communicating with us."

And with Weipu here, he can be a translator.

Xiaoying lowered his head and looked a little frustrated.

Smoker couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, there is a fruit that I wanted to give you when you grow up. Since you want it, I'll give it to you now!"

After that, his palm turned into an element, and then a fruit floated out.

Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and he chirped happily, picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp.

Because he swallowed it whole, he was not poisoned by the taste.

Sanai asked curiously, "What kind of fruit is this?"

Suddenly, the little eagle let out a cry, and there was a bit of lowness in the cry.

Then its body suddenly swelled, its head turned into a lion, its claws turned into four claws, and its tail wing turned into a long tail.

Sanai was stunned: "This is..."

"Cat-Cat Fruit·Ordinary Type·Lion Form! Compared with the Human-Human Fruit, this fruit is naturally more suitable for fighting!"

The little eagle continued to change.

The lion's mouth turned into an eagle's beak, its body was covered with feathers, and its two huge wings spread out.

This guy's human-beast form turned out to be a griffin! !

Smoker patted its back.

"I haven't given you a name. From today on, you will be called Griffin!"

Griffin spread his huge wings and looked up to the sky and made a sound that sounded like both an eagle's cry and a lion's roar.

After they left,

A blue-nosed reindeer with bruises all over his body walked out from the depths of the jungle, staring at their receding figures in a daze.

"Gurgle..."

The reindeer's stomach growled, and the strong hunger made it dizzy.

Suddenly, it saw the "mushroom", and its eyes lit up and it walked over.

But the next moment,

Suddenly, a dark wave came and swallowed it and the "mushroom" together.

Smoker's figure reappeared.

"Sorry, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a guy who is more suitable for this fruit than you!!"
