I, Uchiha Itachi, became the tenth member of the Straw Hats?

After changing the mask and wearing the black robe, the Fleiss fleet was imprisoned by the armored troops into the iron prison under the city gate.

"Why?" Luo asked, looking at the large number of armored troops surrounding the city.

"Oh! Brother Trafalgar, this is a dark kingdom with absolute order for outsiders, blink."

Freys introduced in detail that the reason why Rilkaland is so strict with outsiders is because the trading conference is full of pirates from all over the world. In order to prevent any riots, such strict measures are taken.

"What you said is true?" Hearing what Freys said, Itachi pointed forward.

In the town ahead, a bearded villain hacked down a bakery owner.

The lady proprietress of the bakery picked up the rolling pin, covered it with armed domineering colors, and aimed at the head of the bearded villain with the rolling pin!

The two were fighting fiercely like this, but the surrounding shops and people turned a blind eye!

"Hey, you two are fighting back, don't spoil my food!"

"My dishes are worth four rands."

"Eh..." Frass was a little speechless.

"This underground kingdom is like this. The residents here are all respected by their fists, and the weak eat the strong."

"There are also gangs here. As long as you are a resident here, except for the most basic rules, they will not care about any troubles. Blink."

As Freys said, a large group of gangsters had already arrived, and they cut the beard into pieces!

Afterwards, he cleaned up and took the stump away after communicating with the proprietress.

"That should be the gang behind them! Blink," Freys said.

Luo looked a little bit tongue-tied, and now he felt that it was really the right choice not to let Luffy come.

Otherwise, it is basically impossible to get the root fruit and return to the voyage smoothly.

"The three of us should proceed with caution." Luo put on the white bear face mask.

Although Freys has been to and from Real Callander several times, he doesn't know anyone here. Every time, his identity is just a pirate who comes to auction items to make profits.

In view of this situation, the three of them could only inquire about the news of the auction directly from these tough residents.

"Boss, how did I hear that this root fruit at the auction has existed for several years?"

"Hi boss, are these devil fruits prepared in advance by Riel Callander at the auction? Is the last one a root fruit? Why does this fruit appear on every promotional poster? Are you selling it?"

"Oh boss, I'll buy you a la carte, can you tell me something about the auction, wink."

"What!? Two rands for a pot of mixed stew? Sorry, I won't ask. Blink."

However, after some investigation, the news about Gengenguo was beyond the expectations of the three of them.

A summary of the conversations between bosses and passers-by residents.

"Fruits? Hahahaha! You are outsiders, right?"

"Do you want that fruit? I really laughed to death."

"You'll be able to see it before you get to the auction site, that fruit... Puff hahaha!"

"Who would want that kind of fruit to turn into a tree root? What's the use of absorbing energy? I'll knock it over with a punch from my old lady."

"An extremely stupid person, carrying a stupid fruit he called a treasure, hey, you are newcomers at first glance, as long as the pirates who have landed in Rilkaland for the second time will know this .”

"Robbery!"

The one who robbed at the end didn't have the same mental damage as Kizaru and Virgo in Punk Hazard.

He fell into Itachi's monthly reading, and after experiencing various extreme tortures in 72 hours, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

After some investigation, the three of them communicated with each other when they met again, and found that the only effective information was to know where the fruit was as long as they went to the auction.

The rest don't know anything, and the people here just keep laughing and abusing whenever they mention the fruit.

"It stands to reason that the strength of a devil fruit depends on the development of the user, and there is no absolute distinction between strong and weak."

"But why do people here have such emotions about this devil fruit?"

"Not sure." Itachi shook his head. He asked several people and they all had the same reaction. In fact, he didn't have any idea about this devil fruit.

According to Luo, this fruit can completely solve his physical problems.

"It's really nerve-wracking, blink." Freys looked around, they have now come to the center of the town, and no matter who they ask, the answer is almost the same.

"It seems that if we want to know what is going on with this fruit, we can only go to the auction." Luo said.

At this moment, Freys suddenly pointed to a tall tower not far away.

"Yo! Familiar landmark, I think of a place. Blink."

"Where?" Luo Gang wanted to ask, and Freys said.

"This high tower is called the Black Tower of Morel. The entire tower is made of an extremely hard ore material. It is said that nothing in this world can destroy this iron tower."

Luo pointed at the bottom of the tower, "You say this tower is invincible, so what are they doing?"

Below the Black Tower of Morel, several masked and black-robed pirates were hacking with knives and axes, and smashing their fists in an attempt to smash the tower.

There was also a big man who condensed his armed domineering aura and slammed his fist at the iron tower, shaking the surrounding ground.

But they were quickly taken away by the armored troops.

"Oh! It is said that the pirates who come here every year will check in there to see who can break this tower, or even break a brick."

"Over time it has become a prominent landmark."

"But so far, no one has been able to harm the tower."

"It's really boring behavior." Luo looked away.

Frese added: "When I saw this tower, I suddenly thought of someone. Blink."

"one person?"

"Yes! An uncle who sells glutinous rice and fried rice, that person is super nice! The food is cheap and affordable."

"I eat at his place every time I come, and it's very close to the auction. Wink."

"Let's go there then," said Itachi.

"If it's someone with a straightforward personality, maybe you can find out some news."

Both Luo and Freys nodded, and the three walked over there.

The shop of Uncle Fried Rice mentioned by Freys is on a street directly south of the iron tower. Due to the proximity of the auction, the business here is indeed booming.

Although the business is booming, the disputes are still as usual.

As soon as the three of them came to the door of Uncle Fried Rice's shop, they heard someone shouting from the opposite shop.

"Boss Nani? You want me a rand for an eel noodle?"

"Do you know how much gold is equal to one rand coin?"

"Are the bones of your eel made of gold or the meat?"

"Damn it! Watch me cut you down!"

As soon as the masked pirate finished speaking, he was taken away with overwhelming force by the gang that poured out from behind the shop.

Freys gulped as he watched.

"That's how it is here."

"Every year, they use their 'order' to ensure the attractiveness of the auction, but once they land on this island, danger is everywhere. Blink."

"That's nerve-wracking. Blink."

Luo looked at and sighed. "Let's go, pay more and make less trouble."

The treasures of their ship were exchanged for a total of 230 rand coins, and they were thrown away for the auction. It should be enough for one day's expenses.

Frass hurriedly followed Luo and Itachi into the fried rice shop.

As soon as he entered the store, Frass couldn't help shouting: "Hi! Boss, long time no see."

Before Freys took off his mask, the uncle in the middle of the store smiled and waved to him.

"It's a familiar voice, it seems to be a regular customer."

"Yes, yes, blink."

"Uncle, you are familiar with the store, the price is affordable, and the food is delicious, it's really too..."

Just as Frass was about to walk to the ordering area, a big hand stopped him.

Freys looked up, and he found that standing in front of him was a big man wearing a brown beast mask.

"My friend, I came first."

"Oh! I'm really sorry, please go first. Blink." Freys took a step back.

"Thief hahaha!"

"Thank you, friend." The big man said with a hearty smile.

He looked back at Uncle Fried Rice, who was also nodding to the big man.

After reading the menu, the big man waved his hand: "First, three servings of fried rice and three jugs of your signature liquor."

"And then, ten cherry pies!"
