In the prison cell.
Dirty footsteps echoed in the somewhat dim prison cell.
Confined in a prison cell was a beautiful woman with wavy red hair, and a short man with a head larger than his body and a hideous face. They both looked towards the corridor in horror.
Several figures walked in one after another.
"Ha, beauty, we meet again!"
Seeing the somewhat startled and flustered Baccarat, Courage's eyes turned red. He chuckled and greeted her.
"Geralma 66!"
Both their faces turned pale.
Along the way, they naturally already knew who had kidnapped them.
Courage looked at Judge, somewhat slyly saying, "I say, Judge, why don't you give her to me? Hehehe..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Courage..." Neji, although somewhat tempted, still shrugged and chuckled, "The woman this guy fancies, when do we ever get a share?"
He understood Judge too well!
Such an outstanding beauty, and he even specifically kidnapped her back, would Judge kindly give her to them?
"Tch~~~"
"Quickly release us, otherwise you'll know our power..."
Tanaka, his face pale with fear, stammered: "Lord Tesoro is the King of the Casino, the richest man in the world!"
"That Tesoro guy, he won't let us go?"
With a cold laugh, Neji revealed his pale teeth: "I don't want to let him go yet!"
"Hmph, hmph..." His body was covered in electrical arcs. His entire body disappeared like lightning. The next moment, a vertical slash appeared in front of Tanaka, and a foot fiercely stomped on his face!
"Thump!"
"Ah..."
Tanaka shrieked. His entire body was violently thrown against the wall, fresh blood splattering.
"Hateful Tesoro, I'll settle scores with you sooner or later!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
When escaping from Gran Tesoro, Neji, with his strongest force, forcibly resisted Tesoro's golden giant, attacking something called "Golden Karma Fire" in the war room. Neji himself was almost directly thrown into the vast ocean, bruised and battered, dragging Tanaka along.
"Ahhh..."
His miserable wails continuously echoed in the prison, making one's scalp tingle.
"Hahahaha..."
Courage, watching the show outside, laughed wildly.
Baccarat beside him was directly scared pale. Her entire body trembled violently, full of fear and unease.
Neji completely attacked his face. If she were hit a few more times, she would be disfigured.
"Truly despicable."
Carifla whispered.
She felt these two Highnesses were too low-class, completely on a different level from Judge.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Isabella, beside him, hung a smile, flicked her finger, and tapped Carifla's forehead.
"Alright, Neji, don't kill him. He's still useful!" Judge said calmly.
Neji, holding Tanaka, who was spitting blood, felt that this was very low-class, but he didn't intentionally stop it.
"Bang!" He finally stepped on the completely bloodied Tanaka, who was probably unrecognizable by Tesoro. Neji strode out of the prison cell.
Despite desperately shrinking into the corner, Baccarat was still splattered with a little blood on her body. Her entire body trembled violently, filled with fear and unease.
Judge took the fruit offered by Boris and walked directly into the prison cell.
"Swish..."
Eerie darkness directly swallowed the fleshy blob, leaving only Tanaka, barely breathing.
That black smoke, like a deep abyss, swallowed the light. Baccarat, shrinking in the corner, her pupils contracted, a little uneasy, but dared not make a sound, fearing Judge would treat her the same way Neji had just treated him.
"Ah!"
With a scream, a right hand, covered in darkness, retracted from Tanaka's body and directly pressed onto that fruit.
In Baccarat's wide eyes, that fruit changed at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, it directly transformed from a red apple into a white grapefruit with strange patterns.
And Tanaka's entire body was swallowed by darkness. Judge directly cleaned up his corpse.
"This... how is this possible?"
Baccarat lost her voice in disbelief, her pretty face pale. She couldn't help but swallow.
As if she had seen some terrifying horror, her entire body shivered. She looked at Judge before her with eyes full of fear: "You... can you snatch Devil Fruits?"
She simply couldn't believe her own eyes.
Devil Fruits were said to only regenerate randomly somewhere in the world after the ability user died, but she had never heard of anyone being able to snatch another's Devil Fruit ability.
"This kind of ability is truly terrifying!"
Boris, standing at the door, couldn't help but say directly, "No matter how many times I see it, it still makes people shiver!"
Not just him, Rochester beside him also felt the same way.
Witnessing Judge's rapid growth and rise, he felt that he had made the most correct choice.
This ability to snatch Devil Fruits alone, as long as Geralma was given time, in a few years he could cultivate many strong individuals.
He had just given the Glitch-Glitch Fruit to Baccarat, who was standing in the corner, and couldn't help but chuckle.
But his smile, in Baccarat's eyes, was like a demon's smile. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Lucky Fruit?"
"What kind of ability is that?"
Neji and Courage, both completely unaware, also felt somewhat puzzled.
But Judge completely ignored them.
"Baccarat, right?"
"Yes... yes, Master!"
Baccarat's eyes were startled, her voice trembling, and sweat continuously seeped from her palms.
She naturally recognized this demon, who was called 'Geralma's strongest fang.' Even Tesoro, who was extremely wary, knew 'Trafalgar Law,' one of the Warlords of the Sea. Rumor had it that he had suffered a great loss at his hands. Just now, the scene of him directly snatching the Glitch-Glitch Fruit was enough to show the terrifying nature of the other party!
"Don't be afraid. I won't eat you..." His right hand gently stroked Baccarat's pale, beautiful face, as if an electric current made her entire body tremble.
Judge's deep voice directly met her confused eyes, filled with an inexpressible magnetism and a hint of playfulness: "You also saw it just now. I believe you are a smart person, right?"
"Yes, Lord Judge, I am willing to follow you!" Baccarat, completely intimidated, her back soaked in cold sweat, repeatedly nodded.
If she was killed, she would be worthless, and even her Devil Fruit would be snatched. That brutal personality of the two brothers just now. She could clearly see it in her eyes. It was likely she would be brutally tortured first.
Thinking of such consequences, Baccarat's face turned pale.
"Your answer satisfies me..."
Judge squatted in front of her, the corners of his mouth slightly curving upwards.
In her eyes, which were filled with confusion and reverence, he smiled and said: "Geralma 66 welcomes you, Lucky Girl!"
