Aiming for the top with the magnetic fruit in One Piece

Above the castle of the Drum Kingdom, a flying ship was floating with 4 figures on the edge.

"Captain, we should hurry up or we'll freeze up here..."

Looking at his luminous companion with strange eyes, Vlad noticed that Vincent forgot something.

"Vin, you do know that you can warm yourself up with your fruit right?" 

Vlad was a little doubtful of Vincent 's intelligence at this point.

"I know captain, but I don't want to draw attention to myself right now. What if they notice the light and we lose the advantage of stealth?"

Vlad just sighed as he patted Vincent.

"Vin, listen, I never planned on going stealthy in the first place."

As Vlad finished speaking, he jumped straight off the ship, creating a hole in the roof of the castle.

Enel just smiled at such a scene as he followed Vlad.

As for Brook and Vincent, they sensed their captain's ability was at work and were then drawn down by Vlad.

Watching with his Observation Haki, it didn't take long for Vlad to know where the castle's treasure room was.

Inside the castle, guards had already appeared holding weapons while shouting.

"Thief!! We're under attack!!!"

The castle guards advanced towards Vlad, but he just ignored them and walked straight towards the treasure room.

Seeing that Vlad wasn't protecting himself, the guards attacked fiercely, but, a reaper beam appeared, preventing them from advancing any further.

Enel appeared to take care of these fries, with a beam, he stunned a good portion of the guards.

Elsewhere, Brook had also arrived and began to fight with the rest of the guards.

Vincent who was fighting while laughing and swinging his flaming fists, stopped another path where more guards were approaching.

Vlad didn't look back, he just kept moving forward slowly until he reached a huge metal vault, which was directly deformed by Vlad's abilities.

Vlad, whose eyes were now shining, paid attention to the room full of jewels, there were 2 boxes specially kept in the center.

Vlad, who was about to enter, heard a noise in the distance.

"Stop there thief! Leave my treasure or else... I-I'll kill you!"

Vlad, who already knew who it was, didn't turn around, he simply mocked and appeared directly in front of the boxes.

The king of the Drum kingdom saw how Vlad ignored him to try to steal his treasury, infuriating him and sending his personal soldiers.

10 tall and robust men obeyed the orders of their king, advancing towards the intruder.

But before they could take 5 steps, Enel kicked one of the men, then thunder and screams came out of the soldiers' mouths.

....

Vlad looked at the 2 chests, opening them while anticipating their contents.

As Vlad imagined, 2 devil fruits were in each box, one of them was a mushroom-shaped fruit with white patterns and a purple top.

Vlad assumed that it was the fruit that Wapool's brother consumed in the future. The mushroom fruit, he really didn't expect to find this, but he didn't dislike this little surprise at all.

Ignoring the mushroom fruit, Vlad looked at the other fruit beside him, it was a purple fruit with teeth patterns in the middle, as soon as he saw it, Vlad identified it.

"Baku baku no mi. Obtained! Hahahaha!"

Vlad laughed and took both boxes that floated along with a good amount of jewelry and money.

Vlad wasn't a hopelessly greedy bastard, he wasn't bad enough to take all the castle's money, he only took half...

"Alright, time to go."

 Vlad, who was carrying a large amount of treasure behind him, whistled out of the treasury as he watched the scene in delight.

"Yohohoho Captain, we've taken care of everyone."

Brook, who was wiping some blood off his sword, stood on top of a pile of bodies.

Vincent not far away also had a pile of bodies underneath him.

Even Enel was no exception.

"Is this some kind of competition or something?"

Vlad didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he observed the state of the soldiers and the king.

 Before the attack he had told the 4 to be careful not to kill anyone, since the king of Drums Island and his people seemed like decent people.

Although Vlad stole some of their money and jewels, he wasn't going to steal their lives too, of course, only if it wasn't necessary...

After confirming that there was no problem. Vlad left humming one of the songs that Brook had taught him, followed by his group who were wearing a good amount of jewels on their bodies.

"Hahaha, captain, this is what I was talking about when I said I wanted to follow you" 

Vincent, who had lived several adventures and trips as a pirate, felt increasingly happy with his new life.

"Captain, did you obtain the devil fruit you mentioned before?"

Brook, who was wearing a huge coat with money in his pockets, noticed Vlad's good mood.

"Hehe, that's right, in fact I not only got the baku baku no mi, I also got the mushroom fruit, a fruit specialized in poison, 2 good fruits."

Enel heard this and asked a question that everyone had.

"Big brother, do you already have in mind who to give these fruits to?" 

Vlad fell silent at the question, leaving a mysterious smile on his face.

"Again acting pretentious and mysterious..."

Enel sighed seeing this but understood how his brother was, he liked to surprise people, so he didn't ask any more.

After getting back on the ship, everyone went to have a feast while Brook took out his violin and sang, cheering everyone up.

Marinefort, Headquarters

Kong slammed the table upon hearing the report from his subordinates.

"That Vlad again, he dared to rob a kingdom!!"

Tsuro, Sengoku, and Garp in the room also read the new report.

Garp laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, Admiral Kong, let me chase after that Vlad kid."

The others in the room were shocked at what Garp mentioned.

Sengoku looked suspiciously at Garp as he asked,

"Garp, what are you planning? You usually don't take the initiative if it's not Roger."

"Hahaha you already know that I have Kuzan learning under my care, that Vlad guy seems like a good match for him"

Garp picked his nose in front of everyone without a hint of shame as he spoke.

Kong thought about this and nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, we'll raise your bounties again, issue an order now"

Somewhere in the new world, a golden mane fluttered in the wind as he read the news content.

"Pirates with the ability of flight, Vlad…" 

Shiki, the infamous golden lion, reading the new news that talked about pirates suddenly felt that someone like Vlad is perfect for his pirate group.

"Shihahaha Alright Alright, I'll go get you Vlad, you'll be mine, just wait Shihahaha"

Shiki threw the newspaper on the floor, as his footsteps sounded in the room.
