Chapter 120: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, Thousands of Troops Meet!
Whoosh————!
Boom————!
A large firework exploded in the sky above Water 7, finally forming a dazzling money symbol.
This was the signal flare Lister asked Nojiko to make using her explosion ability.
The commotion was huge.
The sign was also very clear and obvious.
For a time.
People on the streets of Water 7 couldn't help but look up at the sky.
"Dad, look quickly, fireworks!"
"Wow, such a big money symbol!!"
"Mom, I want to set off fireworks too!!"
Children reacted first, cheering excitedly one by one.
"What's going on??"
"Setting off fireworks in broad daylight??"
"Are they crazy!"
"However, don't say, the fireworks are really dazzling, just a bit tacky. The pattern is hard to make, yet they made a money pattern, tacky, unbearably tacky."
Other people in Water 7 saw the firework pattern, and naturally, the Money Pirates members also saw it.
"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!!"
"Golden pattern, Captain is summoning us, let's go, we're going back!!"
The Money Pirates' signal flares were divided into three types. The first was golden, also the highest level, only Lister could use it.
When seeing this signal flare, no matter where they were, they had to rush back to rendezvous with Lister as soon as possible.
The second was pink.
Exclusive to Nami and the girls.
Only used when they encountered danger.
All Money Pirates members, upon seeing this signal, must also rush to rescue the girls immediately.
The third was fiery red, usable by all cadres.
Only used to summon companions when encountering difficulties.
Thousands of Money Pirates, after seeing the huge golden pattern above their heads.
Regardless of eating, drinking, playing, whoring, or gambling, they all quickly extricated themselves and rushed back to where the fleet was docked.
Lister used God's Perspective to perceive the situation in Water 7.
Smiled faintly.
"This move is quite effective!!"
This signal flare had been set up for some time.
First time used today.
The effect satisfied Lister.
"Thanks to you for coming up with this method, otherwise calling one by one would have annoyed me to death." Nami laughed.
Towards this, Lister just smiled faintly.
Regarding how he got the inspiration.
He absolutely wouldn't tell Nami he learned it from watching movies.
"It's about time! Time to draw the lottery!" Lister checked the time and said to the girls.
"Aye!!"
Yulan walked to the bathtub again, lifting the canvas covering the bathtub.
"Wow!!"
The moment Yulan pulled open the canvas.
A very special fruit instantly caught the girls' eyes.
That was none other than a Devil Fruit.
The girls cheered on the spot.
"It seems among you, someone has fate with this Devil Fruit. Since that's the case, follow the old rules!" Lister looked at the Door-Door Fruit on the bathtub.
The heart he had been holding up could finally be put down.
Even felt a bit smug.
As expected of the chosen one.
When the time comes, heaven and earth unite in force.
Everything wished for comes true.
"Aye!!"
The girls responded excitedly and nervously.
"Wonder who will get the Door-Door Fruit this time!!"
One sentence directly expressed the nervousness in the girls' hearts.
At this time.
Lister took out a lottery tube, placed it on the table, and said to the group of girls: "Come."
"Aye!!"
After responding in unison, everyone didn't go up to draw lots immediately, but looked at their companions beside them.
Started to yield to each other.
Only wanting to draw last.
After so many rounds of drawing lots, they found their luck was really bad.
Let others make the choice for them.
If they could win by lying down, that would be best.
"Then let me go first!" Yulan knew everyone's thoughts, so she was the first to step forward automatically.
Yulan didn't pick and choose, randomly drawing a stick from the lottery tube.
Turned it over to look.
It was a blank stick.
Sigh!!
Yulan walked away with a disappointed face.
She knew how much importance Lister attached to this Devil Fruit.
She desperately desired to get this Devil Fruit to gain Lister's favor.
As a result, fate was not up to her at all.
Missed this Devil Fruit.
"I knew the first one to draw is the hardest to win." Watching this scene, the girls heaved a sigh of relief while also showing expressions of hindsight.
"Sister, don't be discouraged. As long as we keep following Lord Captain, one day, we will all get our own Devil Fruits." Shizuka comforted Yulan.
"I'm fine, Shizuka, you go up and draw one too!" Yulan shook her head and said to Shizuka.
"Okay!" Shizuka nodded.
Walked up, drew a stick from the lottery tube.
Turned it over to look.
A clear word 'Fate' instantly caught Shizuka's eye.
Originally, she didn't hold much expectation for herself.
As a result, she really drew the winning lot.
For a moment, she cheered directly.
"I won, Lord Captain, Sister, I won!!"
"Really??" Yulan ran towards Shizuka hurriedly.
When she saw the stick in Shizuka's hand clearly, she also shouted happily:
"Really!!"
"Let me see!" Lister said.
"Aye!" Shizuka responded.
Hurriedly handed the stick in her hand to Lister.
Lister took it and looked.
Indeed a stick with the word 'Fate', instantly smiled at Shizuka: "Good, this Door-Door Fruit belongs to you, Shizuka!!"
After Lister finished speaking, Akame handed the Devil Fruit to Shizuka.
"Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Akame!" Shizuka happily accepted the Door-Door Fruit, then glanced at Yulan.
Yulan nodded at her.
Although Yulan also wanted this Devil Fruit.
However, this Devil Fruit had no fate with her, but fate with her sister instead.
Then she could only sincerely feel happy for her sister.
Shizuka received Yulan's encouragement.
Followed the example of Akame, Sheele, and Xiao Lian before her.
Devoured the entire Devil Fruit in a few bites.
Then, stuffed herself with fresh fruits to dilute the awful taste.
Subsequently closed her eyes, starting to sense the Door-Door Fruit ability.
And began to familiarize herself with it.
After quite a while.
Shizuka opened her eyes.
Glanced at everyone.
Smiled: "Um, Captain, and everyone, let me demonstrate my ability to you!"
"Then show us!" Lister smiled faintly.
Aye!!
Shizuka responded.
Raised her hand and pressed forward.
A door seemed to appear in the void.
Pushed open gently by Shizuka.
Shizuka didn't hesitate at all, walked directly into the door, then closed the door.
"Disappeared!!"
The girls exclaimed in surprise.
Correct, at this moment.
Shizuka indeed disappeared under everyone's gaze.
The next moment.
Shizuka opened a door behind Lister and walked out.
Covered Lister's eyes with both hands, asked charmingly: "Captain, guess who I am!"
"Naughty!!" Lister chuckled dumbly.
"Alright, let's talk."
"Aye!!" Shizuka released the hands covering Lister.
Under Lister's signal, she sat on the sofa with Lister.
Lister sat in the middle.
Nami sat on the left, Shizuka sat on the right.
Lister put his hand on Shizuka's fragrant shoulder; Shizuka showed no resistance at all, even her small face turned red with excitement.
The other girls watching this scene couldn't help but look at Shizuka with envy and jealousy.
Even her own sister Yulan couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.
