Chapter 70 - #70 The Pirate Solution

Cornelius: First of all, everyone come with me to my laboratory, where I'll show you who you have to kill for me.

We entered the little house, there was only a bed and a table and an old carpet that was pretty frayed.

Cornelius: How do you like my laboratory?

Coni: Wow, I kind of expected a little more.

Cornelius: I'm just kidding you, follow me.

Cornelius pushed the carpet aside and opened a wooden hatch in the floor under which a wooden ladder appeared that led down to another room.

Cornelius: You better not touch anything down there, it could end badly for you.

We climbed down the ladder and entered his real lab. In the laboratory there were test tubes made of fulgurite (flash glass), and there was also a microscope and a few dissected rats and rabbits on a desk. There were books everywhere and notes were attached to the book covers.

Dia: Why do you actually wear a gas mask? And why are all the test tubes made of fulgurite?

Cornelius: I wear the mask because my devil fruit fills the room with some gases when I make the test tubes and I would probably have died without it and the thing on my back is a small air tank that helps me breathe.

Dia: What kind of devil fruit did you eat?

Cornelius: The Supa Supa no Mi, the Spark Fruit. It is a Paramecia devil fruit and allows me to create a spark when there is contact with a foreign body or between my body parts. This spark can be electrical or fiery in nature. The electrical effect occurs between my body parts and the fiery one when I touch something, somewhat like a flint thrown against a wall. It's best if I just show it to you so you can understand it.

Cornelius took off his gloves and created an electrical spark between his fingers like a stun gun. Then he briefly clapped his hands together and sparks of heat sprayed all over the room, glowing red like a campfire.

Dafne: That's so pretty.

Coni: I want to eat his fruit, Captain. Kill him and give me the fruit.

Dia: You should be nicer to our future doctor, Coni.

"Aye Captain," said Coni with sad eyes.

Cornelius: But you haven't seen the best yet. With my medicine pills I can increase my strength for 20 minutes.

He swallowed one of his red pills and held his hand towards a stone wall. An electrical spark appeared that reached from his hand to a metal pole at the other end of the room.

Cornelius: Go back a bit for the fire spark, it's very reactive.

He touched the ground and an extremely hot spark appeared between his finger and the ground, the spark melted the stone ground and turned it into magma and lit up like a welding machine when It's used.

Coni: His devil fruit is so cool.

Oliver: Why couldn't I eat that fruit!

Cornelius: What, you ate a devil fruit, can you try one of my pills for me?

Coni: He can turn into a chameleon.

Oliver: Will I get stronger if I eat one of them?

Cornelius: It won't kill you, at least all the test animals survived. You ate a zoan fruit and it may have other effects on you. Please try one of my pills!

Oliver looked at me for permission and I nodded at him and he ate one of the pills.

Oliver: I don't feel any difference. Should I transform?

Cornelius: Yes, please do it.

Oliver turned into a chameleon, but unlike normal, he didn't turn green, but his entire skin adapted the properties of the rock he touched on the ground and his skin turned into stone.

Oliver: Cool, my skin is made of stone now.

Oliver then hit the wall with his arm leaving cracks in its structure.

Oliver: What do you think of it, Coni? Now my devil fruit is also strong and cool.

Coni ran to him and hugged him and said: "I thought your devil fruit was cool before too."

Cornelius: That's interesting, apparently his devil fruit increases his ability to adapt to his environment. Now we just have to wait and see how long the pill lasts.

Oliver: Captain, take one of the pills too!

Dia: I think I won't do it, my strength is already strong enough without the pill.

Coni: It's a shame, I would have really liked to see that.

Cornelius: You ate one too, what kind of devil fruit was it?

Dia: A zoan fruit, I became an archangel.

Cornelius mouth opened wide and he took a deep breath.

Cornelius: You became an archangel?!

I can understand why you don't want to take the pill, then you would almost be like a god afterwards.

Dia: Exactly, and I prefer to stay human. (If he knew that I have a part of God in my consciousness;) But now let's get down to business.

Cornelius: Exactly, wait here for a moment, I'll quickly look for the names and files in my filing cabinet.

Cornelius searched through his papers for half an hour and the effect of Oliver's pill had already stopped working 15 minutes ago and Cornelius noted on a piece of paper that the length of effect did not vary.

He finished searching for the personal files and their involvement in his mother's death and showed me what evidence he had collected against them over the years.

Cornelius: There are 3 names on the list, I hope you can punish all three of them for what they did to my mother.

I read the files and was able to understand Cornelius hatred for these people, as I learned everything about this three people.

Dia: How were you able to get all this information, if you can't enter into the city?

Cornelius: My uncle gave me some information and I secretly looked for the rest on my own. And mostly I used the information from my mother's notes. My mother described in her notes that Elder Formosa was poisoned, but she could not find a cure for him in time.

I've been trying to replicate this poison for years and it contains a very rare ingredient that only one person in the city had access to.

In other words, my mother couldn't make the medicine because she didn't have access to this plant.

I couldn't recreate the same symptoms of the poison with the native plants, so I looked for greenhouses that belonged to the 3 people who blamed my mother for the elder's death and I found them.

The Van Dorns were the only ones with access and I plundered their stock of the plant years ago. It is a blue moon flower that doesn't grow around here.

Dia: But what was their motive for poisoning the elder?

Cornelius: Elder Formosa voted against some decisions made by the three nobles in the Council of Elders. They wanted to expand the current port and Formosa and its factions opposed this expansion.

He knew that they wanted to use the port for illegal trade between the nearby naval base. I checked the cargoes of some Navy ships and found large quantities of drugs being smuggled into our city.

These drugs were later transported away on other ships and distributed to neighboring cities, some of them also ended up on our streets.

Coni: So the Navy is criminal?

Oliver: I think that's why Uncle Dolfo didn't want to have anything to do with this matter.

Dia: Well, I think your evidence is enough for me to want to take down the three of them.

Cornelius took off his gas mask and protective suit and had a very attractive face, he looked like Paul Walker with red hair. He wore a green tuxedo with a green bow tie around his neck and picked up a wooden tobacco pipe and a green top hat from the corner of the room which he placed on his head. He took a walking stick in his hand and put on a pair of wooden shoes.

And I just couldn't hold back my laughter at that moment.

Dia: Hi, hi, hi, you look like a leprechaun!

Cornelius: This is the traditional clothing in our village?

Oliver: Can I have your pot of gold?

Cornelius: I don't have anything like that and I'm not a leprechaun either. We just dress like that in our city, it's supposed to bring good luck.

Coni: I think he looks good, why are you two laughing so much?

Dia: I'm sorry, I just didn't expect it after seeing your face.

Cornelius lit his tobacco pipe with a snap of his fingers.

Cornelius: It's okay, I can understand you, can we get rid of my mother's murderers now?

I nodded and we took Coni and Oliver back to the ship and waited until it got dark and rowed into the city with Dafne, Lenny and Wallace, the three of them were supposed to take apart the docks and secure the drugs from the naval dealers.

Dia: We'll meet again later!

Lenny: Okay Captain, we'll meet later in the city center.

The three of them went to the warehouses on the docks and I went with Cornelius to the noble shits.

A few town residents saw Cornelius walking openly through the streets and tried to stop us.

Resident: Cornelius, you have no business in the city, you son of a dirty herbal witch!

I walked up to the man and looked at him angrily and said, "Did you just insult my crew member?"

Resident: And whether I have it, this demon should be burned at the stake like his dirty witch mother!

I kicked him in his balls and heard his pelvis crack, he flew several meters around and landed in a house wall. The other residents heard the noise and came out of their houses.

Dia: The next one who insults one of my crew members will lose his head!

Cornelius looked at me stunned as did the rest of the residents, we just continued on our way while the residents followed us.

After a short time we arrived at the house of the first two nobles and two guards were standing in front of the building.

BOOM!

One of the nobles ran down in his house and saw that his guards were lying in a crater in the wall along with the entire entrance area of the house.

Noble: Guards help me, there are intruders here!

Another 3 guards came running towards us and I brought out my quarterstaff. The first of the three came running to me and I hit him with the end of my quarterstaff against his breastbone and he flew back several meters and hit the crater in which the other guards were already lying, the impact caused the entire wall to collapse and the wall buried three guards under. The remaining two guards saw this and dropped to their knees and bowed to me.

Guards: We're sorry, please spare us!

I walked past them and started humming as I slowly made my way towards the noble on the stairs. I stood in front of him and grabbed his collar and asked him, "Where is your partner in crime?"

Nobleman: Spare me, he's upstairs in his room!

I then choked him until he lost consciousness and dragged him behind me. I entered a room on the upper floor from which I noticed three people. When I went into the room I found two underage girls whose clothes were lying torn on the floor. Both had a collar tied around their necks and I saw an old man behind them, he was trying to hide behind the two crying girls. I took off their collars and gave them something to wear.

Dia: If you both want to take revenge on him, then follow me!

I went to the nobleman and knocked him out and dragged him out of the room like the other one behind me. The two girls followed me and only had hateful looks for the man I was dragging behind me out of the room.

I went down to Cornelius and we then went together to the city center where I laid the nobles on the ground.

Dia: These two assholes are my prey, whoever touches my prey will be my next prey!

The residents looked at the ground and no one dared to oppose me.

Dia: If the two of them are no longer here when I come back, then my ship will destroy the entire city, has everyone understood that?!

Everyone nodded their heads in shame.

Dia: Cornelius, take me to the next one.
