Chapter 68:
Shakky watched as the executive from Yosel's crew raised his massive axe and swung it toward her.
Her pitch-black eyes showed no ripple.
Her sexy red lips curved slightly.
As her robes fluttered,
one long, perfectly rounded jade leg directly kicked the incoming giant axe into two pieces.
Her long leg didn't slow down.
One heavy kick landed squarely on the executive's chest.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
The enormous force from Shakky's jade leg directly caved in the opponent's chest.
The executive was kicked flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into a solid wall.
Seeing him slide down the wall, coughing up blood,
Shakky appeared in front of him like a phantom.
She raised her delicate foot in a black high heel.
One stomp crushed the opponent's skull.
Splattering blood dripped from her red shoe sole onto the deck.
It looked extremely wild.
Vilin watched Shakky's performance.
His lower body couldn't help tightening.
He awkwardly avoided Shakky's meaningful gaze.
Vilin quickly shifted his eyes away.
He walked to stand in front of all the crew members.
At this moment,
the battle between both sides had completely ended under the squad leaders' eruption.
All the Devil Fruit users in Yosel's crew had been knocked unconscious by the Aitrias Pirates crew.
Following Vilin's orders, they directly imprisoned these pirates in the Flying Bird's dungeon.
As for the other pirates, they all became Vilin's nutrients.
On the deck,
the women looked up at Vilin's tall, upright figure.
Their eyes were full of sparkling light.
Vilin saw all the crew showing excited expressions.
He directly waved his hand and said:
"Crew members, start collecting the spoils!"
Hearing Vilin's shout,
all the women present showed excited expressions.
They could buy some pretty new clothes again.
Vilin saw the crew's excitement.
He also showed a gentle smile.
Seeing Vilin wave at them,
the Aitrias Pirates crew scattered in a rush.
They immediately began searching the 100-meter-long large ship.
Even Rouge, who was usually uninterested in treasure, joined the crew in the joy of treasure hunting.
Vilin only smiled at this.
He looked at the boundless sea.
Lit a cigarette and enjoyed it leisurely.
But what surprised Vilin was that the usually money-loving Shakky actually stayed in place.
This surprised Vilin.
"Shakky, why aren't you going?"
Vilin asked curiously.
"It's not just mine."
"I'm not interested in working for others."
Shakky rolled her eyes at Vilin.
Snatched the cigarette from Vilin's mouth, parted her moist red lips, and took a deep drag.
Vilin saw Shakky's clothes were a bit disheveled.
He directly pulled Shakky into his arms.
The two quietly leaned on each other for a while.
Only when all the crew returned to the deck
did they separate.
Vilin looked at the treasure the crew had searched for.
He casually glanced over it.
He also knew the approximate amount of treasure.
Roughly 700-800 million Berries.
A pretty good haul.
Evelyn counted the treasure.
She distributed it according to the Aitrias Pirates' system.
In the pirate world, there is a standard distribution system.
After covering daily expenses, the captain takes 20%.
The rest is divided according to rank in the pirate crew.
Of course, some don't follow rules.
That depends on the captain's integrity.
Soon the Aitrias Pirates crew each received a considerable sum of money.
They happily stored the money in their personal savings.
But what surprised Vilin was
that this pirate ship actually had two Devil Fruits stored.
Seeing Rouge walk in holding two Devil Fruits,
Vilin also showed an interested expression.
Shakky looked at the Devil Fruits in Rouge's hands and showed envious eyes.
Their Amazon Lily Pirates only had three Devil Fruit users in total.
Including her, only four.
Looking at the Aitrias Pirates.
They already had more than ten Devil Fruit users.
Now two more.
"Vilin, can you sell a few Devil Fruits to our Amazon Lily Pirates?"
Shakky hugged Vilin's arm with a pitiful expression and begged.
"Sure! But after my crew picks first."
"Fine, you're ruthless!"
Shakky fiercely pinched Vilin's waist.
Then she swayed her hips and left.
Vilin didn't linger and directly hugged Rouge, jumping back to the Flying Bird's deck.
With a fire, they burned Yosel's pirate ship.
The Yosel Pirates completely vanished from this cruel sea.
As the Flying Bird quickly sailed away from this sea area,
at 10,000 meters altitude,
a figure with black wings on his back and holding binoculars descended.
Seeing the Aitrias Pirates had left,
he flew toward the sea surface.
This middle-aged man in a suit took out a small camera from his pocket and began taking photos of the scene.
After finishing everything,
he let out an excited laugh.
"Hahahaha! This is big news!"
"This time our World Economic Journal can make a fortune again."
"Hahahahahaha!"
On the Flying Bird.
A 5-square-meter prison cell.
This was where Vilin imprisoned Devil Fruit users.
Vilin walked alone into the secret room.
At this moment,
the secret room held three executives from Yosel's crew.
All of them were Devil Fruit users.
Vilin placed the bag of various fruits he carried in front of these pirates.
He used a wooden spike to pierce the chest of one Yosel Pirates executive.
As the pirate's body gradually shriveled,
Vilin stared unblinkingly at the fruits in the bag.
His eyes held faint expectation.
This was a method Vilin had seen in the anime.
He looked at the fruits in front of him.
Unfortunately, Vilin was disappointed.
None of the fruits turned into a Devil Fruit.
"It doesn't work?"
"Looks like I was overthinking it."
Vilin sighed.
Two tree roots instantly grew from his back and quickly pierced the hearts of the other two.
As the two died,
Vilin still didn't see any change in the fruits.
Just as Vilin was about to leave,
he looked at the fruits with some hope.
To his surprise,
one fruit actually turned into a Devil Fruit.
Vilin immediately grabbed the ruby-shaped Devil Fruit and examined it excitedly.
He played with the Devil Fruit in his hand and fell into thought.
Is it because of the variety?
Or probability?
In the end, Vilin had no answer.
He could only rub his somewhat swollen head and leave.
This time Vilin harvested three Devil Fruits in total.
They were:
Paramecia-type Corn-Corn Fruit.
Paramecia-type Ruby-Ruby Fruit.
Zoan-type Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Cobra.
Vilin carried these Devil Fruits toward the deck.
To avoid unnecessary trouble,
Vilin did not take out the Ruby-Ruby Fruit.
He worried the news leaking would attract suspicion from other forces.
If this news spread,
Vilin was also afraid of being targeted.
