HxH in One Piece World - Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Potential Stocks

Mom was caught off guard, making Sonny stand on the spot.

It wasn’t because he was called his mother, but Pele was talking.

“Demon Fruit Ability?”

This was Sonny’s first reaction.

After judging that Pele was most likely to have eaten Devil Fruit, her mood suddenly became complicated.

The coveted Devil Fruit was actually eaten by a skunk?

Maude’s reaction was not as big as Sonny, and he did not make intuitive judgments.

Animals spit out people, not because they have eaten devil fruits.

Saul looked at Pele, who was desperate for survival, with a blank face, slowly retracted his hand, and turned his head to look at the two people standing at the door of the toilet.

“Who got this little thing?”

Sonny pointed directly at Maude.

Maude: “…”

Ten minutes later, everyone was seated at the dining table.

Pele, whose upper body was tied into zongzi, lay down on the floor beside the dining table.

In front of him, there were two steaks and a handful of vegetables.

The human-like dinner gave his injured heart a little comfort.

Saul stuffed a piece of chicken thigh into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, and swallowed it, and immediately glanced at Pele who was biting on the steak.

“It’s very hidden, this little thing.”

Pele was one of the auction merchandise, and Saul recognized it immediately.

The reason why he almost squeezed Pele’s head just now was because he felt the slight malice from Pele.

And he is very sensitive to malice, and making such actions is almost a conditioned reflex.

Had it not been for Pele’s life-and-death situation, Saul would definitely not stop in time.

It’s also thanks to Thor being a veteran of individual skills, quick to shoot and fast to harvest, otherwise Pele would have become a headless corpse.

“Pele didn’t eat Devil Fruit, but why does he speak?”

Sonny looked at Pele in confusion.

Just now, as to whether Pele had eaten Devil Fruit, Saul had already used an extremely rare Hailou stone bullet to help her.

But what followed was another doubt.

Maude resisted the thought of expressing an opinion and ate in silence.

With his current capacity, it is not suitable to help Sonny Cope on such occasions.

Saul knew what was going on and explained:

“In Grand Line, there is an isolated race called the Mink Race. This little thing is mostly related to the Mink Race, but obviously the inherited blood is not complete, and it can even be said to be thin. That’s why it became like this.”

“Mink tribe? What kind of race is that?”

Sonny’s expression moved.

On the other hand, Pele at the dining table also slowed down the speed of biting the steak, listening to Saul’s explanation with his ears sideways.

He was born different, so he left the race early.

He has also been distressed about his own special features, and even took risks to contact human society in order to explore and understand.

Because of this, in the end, he will be caught by humans accidentally.

Saul was too lazy to explain too much, and said perfunctorily: “You treat the Mink clan as a group of humans who eat the fruits of animals.”

On the side, Maude was almost choked by Saul’s explanation.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

Sonny nodded suddenly, and instantly replenished the image of Mink clan.

Saul took several more bites of meat, then sighed:

“Maude, you have found a treasure. The thin-blooded Mink clan like the little thing is not common. I have only seen it a few times in my life. If the auction will know his true details, how can he stay in Auction here?”

“It’s not worth it, it’s worth some money.”

Maude doesn’t think Pele is a treasure.

If Saul was willing to trade [Chidori] for Pele, then Maude would be willing to slap himself in the face.

“Whether it is a treasure, it depends on how you use it.”

Saul took a sip of wine, his eyes gleaming.

“In Grand Line decades ago, a pirate star was born, and beside him was a black hunting cat with an exquisite body. Just like this little thing, it is also a skinny Mink clan.”

“Although the body is no different from an ordinary animal, it is both human and can speak out.”

“People who don’t understand the black hunting cat will only think that the cat spit out because of eating the devil fruit, but that’s right, the hunting cat did eat the devil fruit.”

“It’s just that what the hunting cat ate was neither the fruit of everyone nor the fruit related to language, but… the fruit of weapons.”

“Because of this hunting cat that ate the fruits of weapons, there were many old pirates who had been famous for a long time. They were accidentally planted in the hands of the new star pirate. At that time, I was still young and vigorous, and almost was overcast.”

“To this day, I can go to the present, and I have to thank him for giving me a good lesson at that time.”

Speaking of his past experience in a slightly nostalgic tone, Saul took another toast with a few sips of wine.

Listening to Saul’s narration, an image of Old Yinbi suddenly appeared in Maude’s mind, and he couldn’t help but glance at Pele.

He knew that there was a technology that allowed weapons to eat the fruits of animals, but he did not expect that someone would make animals eat the fruits of weapons.

Thinking about it, it’s not impossible, but animals are animals after all.

There are too many drawbacks…

But the thin-blooded Mink clan like Pele is indeed no different from human beings just by eating devil fruits, and the functional devil fruits are more than weapon fruits.

In this way, there is a kind of plasticity with low double fruit ability.

However, whether it is worth investing a devil fruit on a pet is another matter.

It is always a potential stock.

Thinking of this, Maude looked at Pele’s gaze suddenly different, and immediately picked up a chicken leg and placed it in front of Pele’s eyes.

Pele: “…”

After hearing Saul’s words, Sonny was also looking at Pele.

However, she thinks in a different direction than Maude.

Still the original idea.

“Such a waste.”

Sonny shook her head.

For her, how could a pet eat devil fruit.

That is not something that can be seen everywhere, it is not easy to meet one in a lifetime.

This is actually a difference in vision.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the devil fruit is indeed a rare thing that is not easy to obtain.

But Maude knows very well that in a pirate group like Doflamingo or the Four Emperors, the cadres under it basically have a devil fruit, let alone a small group of people who will spoil the devil fruit at will.

It can only be said that as long as the strength is strong enough, the rare things in the eyes of ordinary people will become popular in the end.

“So, it’s better to sell Pele.”

With Sonny’s values, it is impossible to waste a devil fruit on Pele, and the focus of course is to use Pele for money.

“Pele called you mother, won’t you sell it?”

Although there is no weapon fruit, Maude has already regarded Pele as one of the potential stocks and naturally does not intend to sell Pele.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chicken bone flew towards him, and Sonny’s frosty expression.

Pele suddenly called her mother.

She herself is also inexplicable.

How do you know that Pele called her mother because she named Pele.
