Guzen took the fruit from Joshua and look on it intensely, the silvia that dripped from his mouth was evident as his human greed became more unconcealed. He didn't waste another second as he bite into the fruit.
"Pluaaahhh... devil fruit taste really disgusted," he commented as with his faced filled with disgust and his constant laughing expression made him his face look distorted. He finished it nonetheless as he stood there for a second without moving. Both Laffitte and Joshua eyes squinted as they await patiently for him to display his fruit power.
Guzen who had a dark expression on his face, a wide plastered appeared and a flash of blood red light went across his eyes. He instantly disappeared from where stood whisch caused Joshua and Laffitte eyes to shrink. Then in a blink of an eye Guzen has appeared at Joshua left side slashed towards his throat mercilessly with the gritty knife he had. But Joshua who felt an immediate threat coming from his side dodged backwards unhurriedly. The breeze blow hurriedly as the blade pass by Joshua and chopped the sea a little.
Joshua who had his eyes closed for a second opened them and move eyes slowly to the right where saw he saw Guzen passed by him in an incredible speed. The crazy and bloodthristy smile looked and Joshua and grinned maniacly.
"Hahahaaa, as expected of the Captain," Guzen laughed as he flashed away in a blood red colour. However, Joshua who has just experienced this shook his head but a faint black light flickered in his eyes. At the mean time Laffitte who was leaning back on side of the ship expression changed as when perceived a threat coming towards him at high speed. He hurriedly took up his crane and placed it in a defense position but it was no use.
"Too slow," the high pitched cold laugh rang out rang out in Laffitte ears. Guzen stepped on the hand the crane was in and flashed out with his gun then pointed it at his head while the blade was held at his neck.
Your response was slower this time Laffitte, heheheeee... Guzen laughed mockingly as he stared at laffitte with his blood red eyes.
"It doesn't seems like a tie this time around..huh... Laffitte," Guzen sneered as he applied pressure to the blade causing Laffitte neck to flow out small amounts of blood.
"You,"... Laffitte smiling face disppeared and now his was face completely cold and slightly hideous. His dark and gloomy expressin can directly tell you he was angry and ashamed the new member who has just been recruited actual cause him to suffer a lost and now where can I put my face as the the first member as the group. With these thoughts the aura around Laffitte started to get stronger and a flash of killing intent was eyes.
Guzen who felt Laffitte changes grinned and was ready to cause a serious blow to Laffitte when he heard .
Stop
Joshua who was watching everything eyes flashed when saw Laffitte pinned down but shook his head afterwards with Guzen eaten the fruit his strength is several times higher than before, Laffitte now might not necessarily be his oppenent. So when he saw Laffitte change and realise of killing intent he stopped it there is no need to kill each other over a small confrontation and besides he can't watch his members kill each other so he directly stopped it.
Joshua calm but cold voice rang out through there ears which caused there expressions to slightly changed.
Laffitte.....brother dont mind me.. I'm sorry about that... I was a excited and went a little overboard with my new powers. .Guzen laughed as he jumped back continuously from Laffitte position. Laffitte didn't reply but coldly looked on Guzen has he massaged the hand that had the crane. Guzen who was leaning forward slightly and had his blood red eyes closed, opened them slightly and then looked on Laffitte with contempt.
"Guzen you stay on the ship while Laffitte go gets some food supplies as for me, I will be out a little," Joshua jumped off the ship obviously not waiting for a reply.
...
Joshua who was walking on the street had everyone looking on him with horrified faces, just from their expression you can know that they recognize him.
Thats him, the one who has a 61 million bailey bounty ....
he looks so young
Don't let his looks deceive you, he is a strong perosn who had killed a captain level navy...
The surrounding persons talked in a low voice while still looking on Joshua with fear because Joshua was behaving low key when he first came on the island no one noticed his . But now heis carelessly walking down the street how can they not realize him now. As for the navies who were patrolling, when they saw Joshua they immediately burst into cold sweat, there legs were shaking continuously, fear was witten all over there faces.
No, I must report this to the commander now.....
It wasn't until an navy officer who somewhat calmed down, awkwardly ran to the direction of the navy branch base. At that time in the highest point of the navy branch there sitted an obese figure with a navy jacket over him and the word justice was imprinted on it. The person smoked as he rocked in his chair continuously until.
baaam...
The door was blasted opened which startled the obese perosn but he got angrily instantly but when he was about to roar at the vay soldier. The person said anxiously
"Commander Flan, it not goods Chaos has just stepped on the island,"
"What!"
Flan who was about to discipline the navy officer face change, he was horrfied when he heard the name of the person from the soldier's mouth.
"Chaos an evil criminal who destroyed a navy base and killed a commander and went on to slaughter hundreds of navies and even killed a captain level navy, what he doing here?" Flan who was drenched in cold sweat said as his body trembles a little. You don't eve need to ask with chaos strength destroying the navy branch here easy and Flan has never thought he could take on someone who is able to kill a captain.
"I'm not sure sir but he seems to be walking aimlessly in the street," the navy officer responded quicky.
Flan regained his composure as he sigh in relief but immediately became solemn. However, no matter what Chaos came here for this must be immediately reported to the higher ups who are searching for him.
Flan eyes lit up as he thought of the 2 how are searching for Joshua while reminising the about their powerful strength. Then he regain his confident look then sneered
Chaos your dead....
Meanwhile, Joshua who was still walking aimlessly heard something from the surrounding pirates that made him interested in.
Have heard Tree Adams parts are going to be sold at the auction....
Yea I heard it was a trunk and some branches...
But the price is as high as 500,000,000 bailey
What...
The surrounding persons walked and talked as they tell each other about the news.
"Tree adams wood.... a trunk and some branches," Joshua eyes flashed as he repeated this under his breath while leaning back on the wall and listen to information of the surrounding persons.
Tree Adam wood it is the rariest and strongest wood in the world and pirates would often try to locate the at any means and because it was even said that Gol D Roger ship was built out of it. Even so because of the scarcity of them it makes everyone feel helpess and so this makes even a few branches sell for tens of miilions of bailey. Now with that said the amount what is selling is huge but not alot of persons can pull out such large amounts of bailey.
"With these wood parts, it would be a graet help when making my ship when going to the grand line," Joshua eyes flashed with a black glint as he thought of this.
"But the amount I have is too low to get all of them," Joshua shook his head in helplessness. From the start of his journey he only able to accumulate only 130 million so far which is not enough to buy the woods.
When that thought ran threw his mine he laughed sarcastically, why would he need pay for it, thats not the style of a pirate. Pirates kill, steal and plunder everyday they have no moral and would do anything that pleases them. Even though Joshua is not like some pirates, at the end of the day he still a pirate.
"Since I can't buy it, just take it," he sneered as he walks to the direcion of the auction.
