I exposed Luffy to Garp in the beginning of One Piece!

He didn't like the smell of cigarette smoke in his mouth.

Xia Qi didn't force it. After taking back the cigarette case, he looked at Ryder in front of him strangely.

"You are in the same state now as you were when you were young."

Siting in front of Xia Qi, Ryder's face no longer had those ravine-like wrinkles. It was smooth and smooth, and he had once again regained his youthful elegance!

"Hahahaha, this is all thanks to the ability of the Devil Fruit~"

Ryder chuckled, he was also very satisfied with his current state.

"Hey, devil fruit? I didn’t expect you to get a devil fruit right after you got out of prison......."

Xia Qi clicked the smoke star in his hand and said with a smile:"Isn't it Xiao Xia Nuo who gave it to you?"

As a full-time business intelligence officer, Xia Qi was concerned about Xia Nuo's alien body and diverse abilities in the battle on the top. As well as releasing many prisoners of the Sixth Level of Infinite Hell as his subordinates~

Xia Qi naturally heard about it, and also made up his mind to learn some things from Xia Nuo after he came back. Insider

"Ah, the phantom species of bat fruit, vampire form."

Ryder said leisurely

"Phantom beast species? Being able to restore youth is a really good ability."

Xia Qi chuckled and refilled Ryder's glass.

She did not ask about the activation conditions and specific effects of this ability, nor how Ryder got this fruit from Xiano.

Some things came to the point. Just stop it

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll go ahead."

After Ryder finished tasting the wine that Xia Qi poured again, he stood up and gave Xia Qi an elegant aristocratic courtesy.

"Aren't you going to wait for Raleigh? Talk to him properly?"

"No need, I felt his aura before. Now I should be spending money in a casino to vent my emotions, so I won’t bother him."

"Well, Whitebeard is dead, and there are fewer and fewer people in your era~"

Xia Qi sighed as he smoked there.

Ryder glanced at her gently.

That makes sense. You are not from the same era as us, and you may even be older than me ~

Ryder thought silently.

He met Brooke when he was a child, and then Brooke was trapped in the Devil's Triangle for fifty years.

Neon It seems that he becomes an adult at the age of seventeen, which corresponds to the world of One Piece, where Luffy sets sail and goes to sea at the age of seventeen.

Then Ryder, who met Brooke, must not have been more than seventeen years old when he was a child, which means that he is no more than six years old now. Seventeen years old.

As for Xia Qi, he had served as the head of the intelligence department on the ship of the Rocks Pirates thirty-six years ago. At that time, he still looked charming. He was also able to convince a group of criminals to become a leader. , while his wrist is not weak, he is definitely not young either.

Fortunately, Shaqi does not have Ryder's talent for mind reading, otherwise if he knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be kicked out.

"So what do you want to do next? Xia

Qi looked at Ryder who was about to leave with some curiosity,"You have regained your youth, are you planning to return to the sea?""

"Return to the sea?"Hahahahaha, I don't have this idea for the time being~"

Ryder smiled, with a somewhat longer-term vision.

First of all, he must continue to maintain this appearance.

Although the vampire form's [Undead Form] ability can allow him to recover And has always maintained the appearance of his youth.

But after all, he has absorbed the vitality of others, and the consumption and passage is several times that of his own.

If he wants to maintain this young appearance, he must absorb the blood and vitality of more people.

Just like a vampire has always been thirsty for blood and wants to suck blood.

Of course, if you directly transform into a beast, you don't have to worry about this problem.

But how can Ryder, who has always prided himself on being a noble, maintain this kind of behavior? A state of neither human nor beast?

In addition to maintaining this appearance and form~

"I have been alone for too long and want to find a companion."

Ryder said

"oh?"

After hearing these words, Xia Qi was really surprised.

The aloof Ryder actually wanted to find a companion?

"I haven’t thought about finding a human companion for the time being~"

Seeing Xia Qi like this, Ryder knew what she was thinking, and shook his head with a smile. He thought of what he saw after he hitchhiked to the Chambord Islands.

On the Xia Nuo ship, there was the lion who was cleaning the deck immediately, as well as the bear Daxiong Er who was reading the newspaper in the observation cabin, and Niu Yi Niu Er and Niu San who were fishing and practicing there~ It seems that they are looking for pets to keep, which is also very good..

It was at that time that he came up with this idea.

Isn't it a human? Is it a pet?

Shaqi thought thoughtfully.

Ryder came quietly, and left without a cloud.

The entire Shampoo Islands No one in the world knew about his arrival and departure more than one hand.

This legendary pirate who is currently the only remaining one active on the sea has no plans to return to the sea in the short term ~ On board the Blue Dragon.

Brooke is on the ground The convulsions lasted for a while, and they might not be able to recover for a while.

Zoro and the others couldn't help but look at Daz and Ajin beside them.

"By the way, what happened to the group of criminals wearing black and white prison uniforms behind Xia Nuo during the war on the top?

Zoro touched his chin and asked,"Are they also the companions gathered by Xia Nuo?""

"Eh? Will those vicious criminals become our companions? Chopper and Usopp stretched their hands with their backs to the sky,"Will they kill us? It feels so scary, don't!"!"

"Well, they are all pirates imprisoned in the legendary infinite hell. They were once famous on the sea, and maybe some of them were particularly cruel to their partners~" The sinister Robin started a different kind of danger there. Lenovo

"Maybe they can kill us immediately after boarding the ship.~"

"Eh?!"

This couldn't help but make Usopp and Chopper hug each other even more and tremble.

"Probably not~" Sanji frowned while holding a cigarette,"Looking at the way they followed Xia Nuo honestly, they must have been intimidated."

"But if you are too vicious, you may not get along well with us, or even not get along with us~"

Franky and Zangao also gave their opinions while drinking Coke.
