Pirates: I am actually the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki

The fruit was eaten by a guinea pig.

Eastern Sea.

After a dry heave, Rean spat out the fruit pulp in his throat, looking ugly.

If one were to rank the unpalatable foods, the devil fruit would definitely be number one, and I would like to call it the strongest!

Beijing bean juice would have to stay far behind.

Can this thing be eaten?

Rean looked at the rubber fruit in his hand, struggling in his heart, should he continue?

At this time, Shanks, who had dealt with Fozver, appeared on the deck. He did not find the rubber fruit there, so he came to check.

Shanks had not yet decided how to deal with the rubber fruit. As long as the devil fruit was swallowed for the first time, its ability would be hosted in the eater. Seeing the obvious tooth marks on the fruit, his heart sank, and he spoke anxiously.

"Rean, is it you?"

Rean shook his head, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

"No, I vomited it all out."

Shanks suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the flesh on the ground, his face was strange, he knew that the devil fruit tasted bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"The battle is over, let's go back first."

...

Red Force.

Shanks looked at the devil fruit in the wooden box, thinking.

He knew some secrets about the rubber fruit, otherwise he wouldn't have come here from the New World.

So do you want to eat it? Or keep it for other uses?

Looking at Shanks's hesitant expression, Rean kindly reminded him.

"Captain, if you want to eat it, I advise you to think it over carefully."

"Because it's really bad!"

Uta was too short to reach the treasure chest, so he had to tiptoe to try to see what was in the wooden box clearly.

"Food? Shanks, for me?"

Shanks closed the lid, and seemed to have made up his mind, and bowed his head.

"Even if you are my daughter, I can't give you this thing."

"Ah? What is the important thing?"

"Devil fruit, if you want, I can find you another one."

Uta was a little disappointed when she heard that this fruit was not for her, but Shanks' next words made her inexplicably happy.

"Rean, you too."

"Sorry, I can't give you this fruit."

Shanks didn't blame Rean for stealing the rubber fruit. For a newcomer who just went to sea, the temptation of the devil fruit is quite large.

Moreover, even if Rean really ate it, Shanks wouldn't say anything. Maybe this is fate.

Rean had no objection to Shanks' decision. There are many powerful fruits in this sea, so there is no need to hang on to one fruit. The previous action was just out of curiosity.

"It seems that you don't want to eat it, why?"

From the plot of the comics, Shanks obviously knows some inside information. Rean is curious: Why doesn't Shanks become "Nika" himself?

"No, the person waiting for this fruit is not me." Shanks shook his head: And didn't you notice?"

Rean was stunned. What kind of riddle is this at this time?

"There are no devil fruit users on our ship!"

Rean was shocked. With the strength of the Red Hair Pirates, it is not difficult to get devil fruits, but the strange thing is: none of them are capable people. Now this mystery is finally going to be revealed.

"Why?"

Shanks pretended to be mysterious.

"Don't you know it already?"

Rean was confused. When did he know it?

"Of course..." Shanks deliberately lowered the tone at the beginning: "Because it tastes bad!"

"Right! Everyone!"

Lu, Jesus Bu and others suddenly linked their shoulders and jumped for joy.

"It tastes bad! It tastes bad! Disgusting!"

Even the usually serious Beckman was dragged into the "protest" crowd by Shanks.

Uta was shocked. Is the devil fruit so unpalatable? In her eyes, Shanks is the most powerful person in the world, but he can't stand it.

Then should I eat the devil fruit?

Rean's face was dark. If it was in the past, he would definitely believe such a ridiculous reason. However, after he tasted the taste of the rubber fruit, he admitted that this reason was somewhat convincing.

The taste is really indescribable.

However, Rean does not intend to give up eating devil fruits. Considering that he may need to use force to tame Kurama in the future, it is better to find a powerful devil fruit as a trump card.

Of course, the "rubber" flavor is not considered, and other flavors should be tried.

"Captain, do you have information about powerful devil fruits?

"Rean thought. There was a pet fruit in the animation. The fruit ability user can use the ability to issue voice commands to control the creatures caught by the pet ring. Although the upper limit in battle is not high, it is perfect for taming Kurama.

"It would be fine if there is information about the pet fruit."

"I have never heard of the pet fruit." There are many kinds of devil fruits, and even Shanks does not fully understand them.

"However, there is information about powerful devil fruits."

Lu on the side interrupted: "Rean, as a pirate, don't you know about the recent event?"

Event?

Beckman took this opportunity to leave the team and found a place to sit down casually.

"Come to think of it, you have only become a pirate recently, so it is normal that you don't know."

"So what is the event? "

Uta came back to his senses from the tangle of whether to eat the devil fruit or not, and put his hands on his hips, looking quite proud. He finally had the opportunity to show his "old man" qualifications in front of Rean, a newcomer.

"Pirate World Expo!"

Rean was shocked.

Uta was very satisfied with Rean's current expression. The child's vanity was satisfied, so he kindly explained to him.

"The World Expo is the world's largest and most lively celebration held by pirates for pirates every few years."

"It gathers many precious things such as ships, food, weapons and intelligence from all over the world."

"And the winner of the entertainment program of this World Expo will receive two precious devil fruits."

"Do you understand? Newcomer. "

As a time traveler, Rean knew that he didn't need Uta's explanation at all. He just didn't expect that he was so lucky to encounter such a rare grand ceremony so soon.

Looking at Uta's expression of seeking praise, Rean was a little helpless and decided to cooperate a little.

"You are so amazing, Uta, you know everything."

"That's right, I'm not just good at singing!"

Hahaha! Children are easy to satisfy.

Rean turned his head and looked at Shanks.

"When will we arrive?"

Rean couldn't wait to see the legendary Pirate Expo.

"If everything goes well, three days later."

Shanks seemed to be worried about something.

"If the World Government doesn't chase us, it will be fine. "

Rean reacted instantly. If the Rubber Fruit was stolen, the World Government would definitely take action.

If the World Government was determined to take the fruit back, they would definitely send out powerful forces, such as admirals, to deal with the Red Hair Pirates.

A conflict would be imminent, but Rean immediately rejected this possibility.

"Although I don't know how important this fruit is to them." Rean didn't want to reveal that he also knew the secret of the Rubber Fruit. If he did that, he would not be able to explain it clearly.

"But I think they won't send anyone here. The World Government should know that we have succeeded now."

"Whether to eat the fruit or hide it, the initiative is in our hands; on the other hand, they don't know our plan."

"If they think we have eaten it, there is no need to send troops to attack."

"So we are safe now. "

Of course, the more important point is that the fruit has not awakened in the past eight hundred years, so there is no need to worry too much even if it is eaten now.

Perhaps this is why the Five Elders only assigned one CP9 escort.

After a little thought, Shanks understood the key to the problem and immediately ordered the ship to move quickly towards the World Expo.

Perhaps it was just as Rean guessed, the following voyage was very smooth, and the World Government's pursuers did not appear.
