One Piece: From Ninja To Pirates Chapter 343 343 Is He Hiding His Strength?

"Well, let's ask them first." iser nodded and said, "If they want to eat it, they can have the Devil Fruit I have."

"You still have Devil Fruits?!" Perona looked at iser in shock.

Getting one occasionally was already good enough, but he still had more?

"Of course."

iser said, "How could I only grab one Devil Fruit when I went to Mary Geoise?"

Having gone to that place with such effort, it was only natural to make a good haul!!

Perona fell silent for a mont upon hearing this, then gave iser a thumbs-up and said, "Reasonable."

iser smiled at her response and added, "It's just a matter of whether they're willing to take the gamble."

If they were willing to take the risk, he wouldn't need to find another way to obtain Devil Fruits.

"Take the gamble?"

Nami asked curiously, "What do you an?"

What did he an by taking a gamble?

"Because I don't know what abilities the remaining Devil Fruits have," iser explained.

With that, iser took out the other three Devil Fruits and placed them on the table.

"There are still three?!"

Looking at the three Devil Fruits, Perona instinctively swallowed hard—this was just too exaggerated.

anwhile, Nami stared at the Devil Fruits on the table with shining eyes, her gaze as if she were looking at a pile of money.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not thinking of selling these again, are you?" iser said irritably, "We don't need money!"

"Besides, these are for Usopp and the others!"

"Oh, oh, oh, right..."

Hearing iser's words, Nami gradually snapped out of it and then gave an embarrassed smile.

iser rolled his eyes at the sight—he was really fed up with her.

Then, iser glanced at Luffy, who was full of curiosity, and asked, "What, are you planning to taste one?"

"Huh?"

Luffy was taken aback for a mont, then imdiately shook his head and said, "No, no, no... I won't eat it. It'll kill ."

Not only would it kill him, but the taste was also unbearably awful, so he absolutely refused to eat that thing!

iser found it sowhat amusing—so this guy knew fear after all?

Rayleigh, however, paid no attention to the others' reactions and instead stared intently at the Devil Fruits for a while.

Seeing this, iser asked curiously, "Uncle Rayleigh, do you perhaps know what abilities these three have?"

If he knew what abilities they held, there would be no need to gamble.

"How could I know information that isn't even in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia?" Rayleigh shook his head.

Since even Rayleigh said he didn't know, iser could only sigh helplessly and say, "Then we'll just have to gamble."

Then, iser turned his gaze to Shakky and asked, "Sister Shakky, aside from the news about the Four Emperors, is there any other noteworthy information from the New World?"

Shakky thought for a mont upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "There is."

"Oh?"

"Tell about it."

"The Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea have been replenished."

"The Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

iser was montarily stunned before asking curiously, "Who beca the new Royal Seven Warlord?"

"Buggy."

"Bu... cough..."

Upon hearing Buggy's na, Luffy nearly choked to death.

He then looked up at Shakky and said, "That guy Buggy actually beca a Royal Seven Warlord?"

But wasn't that guy extrely weak? How could he beco a Royal Seven Warlord?

iser also wore a strange expression, clearly not expecting that guy to beco a Royal Seven Warlord.

Was... was this reasonable?

anwhile, Nami showed an incredulous look. She simply couldn't imagine how soone with a bounty of just over ten million Berries could beco a Royal Seven Warlord.

"You find it unbelievable, right? But he's indeed one of the new Royal Seven Warlords," Shakky said with a shrug.

"How did he manage it?" iser asked curiously.

This ti, Shakky didn't answer imdiately. After thinking for a mont, she said, "You should still rember what title he carries."

"The title of being a Pirate King's crew mber..."

iser pondered this - that was highly probable.

After all... that title carried trendous influence!

"Not just that," Shakky said. "Don't forget his relationship with Shanks."

"Plus the prisoners he took with him..."

"So it's perfectly normal for him to gain the Marines' attention."

Not only did he possess two highly prestigious titles, but he also recruited the prisoners who escaped from Impel Down -

It was completely normal for soone like that to be recruited.

At least from the Marines' perspective, Buggy was a truly fearso pirate!!

"That may be true, but that guy's strength..." iser twitched his mouth. "Isn't he a bit too weak?"

Recalling Buggy's pathetically weak strength, iser's eyelids twitched.

"What if he's hiding his true power?" Perona said.

After everyone turned their attention to her, Perona continued, "Anyone who can beco a Royal Seven Warlord can't possibly be weak. Otherwise, the Marines would have eliminated them long ago."

She understood perfectly well what being a Royal Seven Warlord represented, so she didn't believe that guy called Buggy was weak.

Hearing Perona's words, iser fell silent for a mont before muttering to himself: 'Could he really be hiding his strength?

But what would be his purpose in doing that?

"Is that guy really hiding his strength?" Nami said with a disbelieving expression. "What would he gain from it?"

"How should I know?" Perona shook her head.

After all, she was just sharing her speculation. Whether that was actually the case, nobody knew.

Listening to their conversation, iser thought for a mont before turning to Rayleigh and asking, "Uncle Rayleigh, is Buggy really hiding his strength?"

"That I don't know," Rayleigh shook his head. "After all, it's been decades since we last t."

Although Buggy had decent strength when he was young, after eating that Devil Fruit, he beca even more cowardly than before, so... he wasn't sure about Buggy's current situation.

"I see..."

iser stroked his chin thoughtfully. If Buggy truly was weak, then he might just have so luck on his side.

Thinking this, iser recalled Buggy's performance during their ti at Impel Down.

On closer reflection... that guy's luck was genuinely remarkable!

"Maybe this old fool beca one of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea purely through luck," iser muttered to himself.

At that mont, two figures surfaced in iser's mind.

One nad KING, the other nad Satan.

Both were n possessing extraordinary luck!

"Actually, there's no need to dwell on this," Perona interjected. "If you really want to know whether he's weak, just go find him."

Then you'd naturally learn his true capabilities.

After considering her words, both iser and Luffy shook their heads simultaneously.

Perona: ???

What did that an?

"Just curious, that's all. No need to specifically seek him out," iser explained.

In his view, Buggy was most likely pathetically weak, so he saw no point in bullying soone who'd fought alongside them during the Impel Down breakout.

Of course, if Buggy were foolish enough to provoke them, that would be another matter entirely.

As for Luffy, he rembered that Buggy had helped them before, so he wouldn't cause trouble for him either.

"Alright then."

Seeing neither was particularly interested in Buggy, Perona dropped the subject.

iser nodded, then turned to Shakky. "What about the other Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"There's soone nad Edward Weevil who beca a Royal Seven Warlord of the Sea!"

iser: ???

"Edward?" iser stared in disbelief. "Isn't that Whitebeard's surna!"

"Could... he be his son?"

"He claims to be Whitebeard II and says he's Whitebeard's son, but..." Shakky frowned. "I've never heard of Whitebeard having a biological son."

"Maybe it's sothing that couldn't be revealed easily?" Nami speculated.

The biological son of a Four Emperor would definitely be a pri target for the World Governnt, so keeping it secret would make sense.

"Impossible," Rayleigh shook his head. "From what I know of Whitebeard, he'd never do such a thing. That man loved his family to the bone!"

If he really had a biological son, he'd never hide him away!

"So he's just claiming false kinship?" iser frowned.

If that were true, this Edward Weevil was quite despicable.

"Whether he's falsely claiming kinship I don't know, but the power he's demonstrated is identical to Whitebeard's in his youth," Shakky said. "That's why he beca a Royal Seven Warlord of the Sea."

That overwhelming strength truly matched Whitebeard's younger days, which was why people speculated he might be Whitebeard's son.

"In that case, it might be possible after all," iser pondered before asking, "When did he appear?"

"You want to know where he was when the Whitebeard Pirates were attacked, right?"

"Exactly."

"It's a pity he didn't step forward to protect the Whitebeard Pirates," Shakky said. "On the contrary, he was one of the attackers raiding the Whitebeard Pirates' base."

iser: ???

iser stared at Shakky with a face full of confusion. What kind of nonsense was this?

Claiming to be Whitebeard's son, yet instead of defending his family, he helped others attack their own territory?

Is this guy out of his mind?

"Are you thinking he's out of his mind?" Shakky said.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Well, he is indeed out of his mind."

iser:

What does that an?

So after finally having a son, he turned out to be an idiot?!

"According to the information I've gathered, that person does have so ntal issues," Shakky said.

"And that's why he attacked the Whitebeard Pirates' base?"

"No, it's mainly because of his mother," Shakky explained. "A woman called Miss Buckingham."

"She claid she wanted to inherit Whitebeard's legacy, so she ordered her son to attack the Whitebeard Pirates' base."

Hearing this, iser fell silent for a mont, then twitched his lips and said, "So Whitebeard's old romantic debts have co back to haunt him?"

This is really quite absurd.

"I wouldn't know about that," Shakky shook her head.

Whether it was a romantic debt from Whitebeard, she wasn't sure—after all, she never paid much attention to Whitebeard back in the day.

This ti, iser just nodded and didn't press the topic further.

Then, iser asked, "Are those two all of them?"

"Not at all," Shakky shook her head. "Besides those two, there's another man who beca a new Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Who?"

"Trafalgar Law."

"Trafalgar Law?"

iser raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't he one of the Supernovas who appeared with us on Sabaody Archipelago two years ago?"

If he rembered correctly, that guy had a talking bear with him.

"Exactly, it's him."

Shakky nodded and said, "He instigated the Rocky Port Incident and, using the power of the Op-Op Fruit, stole the hearts of a hundred pirates."

"After that, he handed those hundred hearts over to the Marines in exchange for the title of Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea."

As she spoke, Shakky took out that newspaper and placed it in front of iser.

iser picked up the paper, glanced at it, and chuckled, "It really is that guy..."

The person in the photo was indeed the one called Trafalgar Law.

"I never thought one of the Supernovas who ca to this island with us two years ago would beco a Royal Seven Warlord," Nami remarked.

"We're growing, and so are others," iser said.

"That's true," Nami nodded.

Then, she picked up the newspaper iser had set on the table and began reading it carefully.

anwhile, iser recalled another person.

"By the way... what happened to that red-haired guy who fought Katakuri?" iser wondered to himself. "Was he killed or captured by the Marines?"

After a mont's thought, iser looked up and asked, "Shakky, what happened to that Supernova who was right below and Luffy?"

"Him?"

"His grave must be overgrown with two-ter-high weeds by now," Shakky said.

"So he's dead."

"Yes, he's dead."

Shakky nodded and said, "This person was executed by Marine Admiral Akainu two years ago."

iser: ???

Wait, what does Marine Admiral Akainu have to do with this?

Wasn't he fighting Galette and Katakuri?

Did this guy run away halfway through the battle and then have the misfortune of running into Akainu?

Thinking of this, iser's expression turned sowhat strange. Was this guy's luck just too terrible?

After twitching the corner of his mouth slightly, iser said, "Then this guy's luck really isn't great."

"Indeed, it isn't," Shakky replied. "Otherwise, they would have escaped."

If they hadn't encountered the Marine Admiral, that person would have gotten away long ago.

"Then, is there any news about his Devil Fruit?" iser asked.

If he could obtain the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, it would definitely help boost Franky's strength.

"No."

Shakky shook her head. "This Devil Fruit isn't very well-known, so finding it won't be easy."

"I see..." iser rubbed his forehead and said, "Then we'll just have to leave it for later."
