Chapter 225

"You want... um, as a successor, how about my secretary Kalifa?"

"You won't take the secretary with you?"

"Then leave it to the deputy director. Rob Lucci is very capable at work and has accumulated a lot of credit over the years."

"Okay."

Edie agreed. He turned and asked a few more questions, then left with Chen Long.

Before going to the new universe, he had to meet a few more people to fulfill his promise.

...

New World, Sphinx Island.

Headquarters of Jinkela Grain Company.

"Captain Ace, Vice Captain Sabo. Are you looking for me?"

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach walked in stupidly.

He saw Ace and Sabo sitting on the sofa, with a devil fruit on the table in front of them.

Natural System Dark Dark Fruit!

Blackbeard's pupils shrank suddenly.

When he was a child, he had read the ancient devil fruit illustrations and knew the shape and ability of this fruit.

"Teach, we are discussing who to give this devil fruit to."

Ace grinned and said, "I am the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit and cannot eat the second fruit. As for Sabo, he does not want to become a user, so after considering it, you are the one with the greatest contribution and the most seniority in the second team. Do you want to eat it?"

With Blackbeard's achievements, it would not be surprising even if he became the captain.

It's a pity that this guy has no ambition and has been staying in the second team without any intention of moving.

"I..."

The treasure he dreamed of was right in front of him, but Blackbeard did not nod.

When he chose to join the Whitebeard Pirates, he thought that he would be more likely to get it by Whitebeard's side.

So many years have passed, and he has given up his ambition, but this fruit suddenly appeared.

At this moment, as long as he nods, he can get this power.

"Forget it, hahaha, I don't have any ambitions. In this era, there is no particular benefit to becoming a power user, and you will become a landlubber."

Teach scratched his head with a silly smile: "Devil fruits are not common. Captain Ace, where did you get it?"

"It's ridiculous to say, it's as if this fruit was delivered to the door."

Sabo played with the water pipe in his hand, "We just sent a batch of food out, and when we came back, we found it in the cabin."

"This is really amazing."

Teach exclaimed in surprise.

He was very calm in his heart.

This fruit is for him!

The devil fruit is choosing its owner!

But, it's too late.

If it was 20 years earlier, or even 10 years earlier...

In this era, the United Government suppresses the whole world, and a mere Dark Dark Fruit can't make any waves.

Blackbeard has completely given up all his ambitions.

"I won't eat it. I don't want to become a power user and become a landlubber."

Blackbeard scratched his head and showed no interest from beginning to end.

Ace and Sabo looked at each other.

"Qualified."

Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded, and the King of the World, Dr. Idi, appeared in the room out of thin air.

He reached out and picked up the Dark-Dark Fruit, and said with a smile:

"I sent this fruit, Blackbeard."

"Dr. Idi!" Blackbeard was shocked.

"Some special devil fruits will actively choose their owners. This is the case with the Nika Fruit, and the Dark-Dark Fruit is the same, but it is not as difficult as Nika, and I found it a year ago."

Blackbeard couldn't help but sweat: "Why?"

Ace shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have to ask Dr. Idi, he deliberately used this to test you. Teach, if you chose to eat it just now, you would be dead now."

Blackbeard was sweating profusely, and he instantly understood that his inner thoughts must have been seen through by Idi a long time ago.

"Since you have put down your ambitions, I will also let you live." Idi took back the Dark-Dark Fruit.

At this time, Whitebeard walked in with many captains, and looked at Teach with a complicated look.

"Edie told me what might happen in the future, but that is the future after all, and it has not really happened yet!"

Whitebeard said in a deep voice: "Titch, kneel down."

"Dad..."

Titch was so wronged, he did nothing, and he worked diligently in the past without any slackness.

But facing his father's order, he had to kneel down.

"Hahaha, let him go." Edie laughed and said, "Old White, I am here to fulfill the original agreement this time."

"I have received the rice seeds for winter rice." Whitebeard grinned, "Thanks to your anti-aging agent over the years, I am still so healthy now."

He is in good health now, and it feels that living another 20 years is not a problem.

Edie smiled: "Well, goodbye, I hope you are still alive when we meet next time."

...

Ten Thousand Countries, Cake Island, Cake Castle

"Mammama~ What a rare guest, Edie, I didn't expect you to come to my place."

Charlotte Lingling happily ordered: "Bring out my favorite chiffon cake."

"You've become fat again..."

Edie was speechless.

"Hmph, I'll go crazy if I don't eat sweets. I won't bother with that little bitch Haizhu."

"Chenlong, give her the stuff." Edie ordered.

Chenlong immediately took out a box of medicine and put it on the table.

"What is this?"

"Giant Medicine." Edie said calmly: "What you commissioned at the beginning was the experiment of human giantization. Now I have completed the original agreement."

Charlotte Lingling said in surprise: "As expected of the man I like, he really keeps his promise!"

She thought Edie had completely forgotten.

However, as of now, she doesn't really need this thing.

Recently she has been in contact with the Kingdom of Elbaf, and their giant prince has taken a fancy to his daughter Laura.

Charlotte Lingling is ready to take this opportunity to ease her relationship with the giants.

She did some evil things to the giants when she was a child, which resulted in a very bad relationship.

"But thank you, Edie. Do you want to choose some daughters too?" Charlotte Lingling once again issued a declaration to send her daughters.

Edie decisively refused.

There are enough women around him, and this behavior of sending women around him makes him feel tired.

Of course, if it was the woman he liked, he wouldn't mind accepting it.

For example, he admired Princess Weiwei very much.

"This giant medicine needs to be taken for a long time. It is best to take it from an early age and start taking it when the body is growing. Only in this way can we truly gain the physique and strength of a giant. The detailed usage and dosage are written in the instructions."

After saying that, Edie stood up and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Lingling."

…

New world, a tropical island.

The red-haired man looked at Edie, whom he had not seen for many years, and smiled:

"Emperor, no, would it be more appropriate to call you the King of the World now?"

"Call me Doctor."

"Dr. Edie," the red-haired man smiled and said, "I am a legal adventurer. You won't come to catch me, right?"

"You haven't come to pick up your daughter, so I stopped by to see you."

Hearing this, the red-haired man was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Uta is living a good life with you. Instead of wandering around with me... I will trouble you to take care of her from now on."

"Maybe you won't see her for a long time, not once?"

"No need, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years..."

…

Kingdom of Alabasta.

royal palace.

"Wha...what? Father, what did you just say?"

Princess Weiwei, who is 16 years old and is about to become an adult, opens her eyes wide and looks at her father in disbelief.

Cobra said with a solemn expression: "The Earthly Branches have just come to propose marriage. The king of this world, Dr. Edie, wants to marry you..."

"Dr. Edie!"

Weiwei covered her face in shame.

Unlike world governments, the World Conference of United Governments is held once a year.

She would attend every world conference as a princess, and had met Edie many times. She was no stranger to this legendary doctor, and the two had communicated several times.

"Weiwei, that bastard Edie is not a good man. He has many women."

Cobra, who loves the pure love party, is very unfriendly to the philanthropic party like Idi.

From beginning to end, he only had one princess, Mama Weiwei.

In the past, Kobra would just smile about Edie's personal life.

But now that he has his own daughter in mind, he would never agree.

"But... if we refuse, will it cause trouble to Alabasta?" Weiwei said with a red face: "The government has been a great help to us. Father, the decrease in rainfall in the country in recent years is all due to the government. Experts came to help tide over the difficulties.”

"That's a government matter, not something you should worry about, Weiwei, I won't agree to it!"

"Father, I want to see Mr. Edie in person."

"..."

Cobra had a headache on his face.

…

Donghai, Rogge Town.

Monkey D. Luffy set sail on May 5th and embarked on a great adventure in a small wooden boat.

He successively found Santoryu Zoro, sniper Usopp, and chef Sanji as his partners.

Later, I heard that there was a particularly powerful navigator in the East China Sea, named Nami.

So, he found Nami again and invited her to join his pirate group.
