Chapter 257 Controlling Bruno

On a whim, after leaving "gifts" for the three members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Uchiha Feiyu left the Golden Merry and came to a tavern in the Water Seven City.

It was not yet the peak time for the pub, and there were only a few people in the entire pub. There was only a tall bartender sitting there wiping the wine glasses.

The bartender was strong and had two horns on his head, which were not known to be decorations or belonging to a special race. His face looked dull, but when he saw Uchiha Feiyu push open the door and come in, he showed a hint of surprise, which he quickly concealed.

But Uchiha Feiyu originally started out as a ninja, and his observation Haki is extremely sharp. How could he not see the change in the expression of this horned bartender?
He was also very clear that the identity of the bartender in front of him was Bruno of the CP9 organization. In addition, there was another identity that Uchiha Feiyu cared about very much - the user of the Door-Door Fruit!
The Door-Door Fruit was a devil fruit that was regarded as a god-level fruit in the early days of One Piece. The ability of this superhuman devil fruit already involves space and concepts. If developed well, it can indeed exert amazing functionality.

Of course, this devil fruit also has its own shortcomings, that is, although it is excellent in support and defense, it does not have much effect on increasing strength, especially after the domineering system was released.

To put it bluntly, this devil fruit is top-notch when used for support, but unless the person who eats this devil fruit has top-level talent, it is difficult for the devil fruit user to truly reach the top, and at most they can only protect themselves.

But even so, this devil fruit is definitely one of the top-level devil fruits in the parahuman series. It was eaten by Bruno, an ordinary CP9 agent, which is simply a waste of God's gift.

Seeing Uchiha Feiyu's slightly curious look, Bruno said slowly: "Guest, what would you like to drink? Would you like a glass of whiskey?"

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at the bar. At the moment, there were only a few ordinary customers in the bar. After Uchiha Feiyu's gaze swept over, these people shuddered and walked out of the bar one by one.

With the top level of observation Haki and the unique vampire hypnosis ability, he can manipulate ordinary drinkers to do many things with just a glance.

Bruno is also an agent. Although the professional qualities of the agents in the world of One Piece are hard to describe and there are many funny types mixed in, Bruno is much more perceptive than ordinary people. Naturally, he discovered that the departure of these drinkers was related to Uchiha Feiyu.

"What are you doing? Guest!"

Putting down the wine glass and white cloth in his hands, Bruno looked at Uchiha Feiyu coldly, but his back was already wet with sweat.

No matter how funny the agents of the World Government are, at least they are good at intelligence. As a member of CP9, Bruno had recognized Uchiha Feiyu's identity long before he entered the door.

The "Prince Consort" of Alabasta, who will most likely inherit the throne of this desert country in the future. He is also the blood demon wandering in the first half of the Grand Line, a terrifying figure who killed Sakrockfall, and is one of the special combat forces marked in the intelligence of the World Government.

The opponent's strength is at least higher than that of an ordinary vice admiral. This is not a person that an ordinary CP organization agent like me can deal with. Now I just hope that the other party is just here for a drink, otherwise...

"Bruno, the agent of the CP9 organization and the user of the Door-to-Door Fruit, I guess I'm right!"

"Who are you!!"

Bruno took out two pistols from the table and pointed them at Uchiha Feiyu with a serious look on his face, but Uchiha Feiyu just curled his lips:

"Who am I? Didn't you recognize me when you first walked in? Why are you pretending to be stupid? I don't believe that the intelligence network organized by CP can't even recognize me."

"If that's the case, one of you and the CP organization must be a freeloader."

Bruno's expression froze for a moment, and then a grim look appeared on his face:

"Blood Demon, why did you come to the Seven Water City?"

"Blood Demon, is this the title your CP organization gave me? It is indeed a little stronger than that blood-sucking demon, but I am not a Digimon. Those uneducated pirates like to give me such meaningless nicknames."

"As for why I came here... it's very simple! I'm very interested in your devil fruit!"

Interested in my devil fruit?

Bruno, who was unaware that the power of the devil fruit could be stripped away, did not understand the meaning of Uchiha Feiyu's words, but he could vaguely hear the murderous intent hidden in Uchiha Feiyu's words.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the intention of playing monkey tricks in front of others, and... do you want to confront the World Government?"

Looking at Bruno, who looked strong but weak, Uchiha Feiyu sneered:
"I don't just want to see your devil fruit ability... Besides, a mere CP9 agent can represent the World Government? Do you think you are a Celestial Dragon or one of the Five Elders?"

"Also, stop pressing the Den Den Mushi under your table. I've already sucked the life force out of that worm!"

Bruno's face changed drastically. He looked under the table and found that the Den Den Mushi, which was originally very energetic, was now lying limply on the ground, having turned into a pool of dead meat.

Den Den Mushi is also a living being. With Uchiha Feiyu's current level of development of the vampire fruit, it would be too easy to drain the vitality of this little life.

Seeing that the Den Den Mushi was dead, Bruno said nothing, held the pistol in one hand, and fired several shots at Uchiha Feiyu.

However, the bullet penetrated Uchiha Feiyu's body but did not cause any damage. After a moment, the figure disappeared. It was just a phantom.

"So fast! This speed is much faster than shaving..."

Bruno turned around fearfully and looked around. At this moment, a hand reached out from behind him, placed it on Bruno's shoulder, and broke his arm with a snap.

"Want to open the door and escape? Sorry, I know all your information clearly. Although the Door-Door Fruit is not of much help in direct combat, it is indeed a god-level fruit for escape and assistance, so I won't give you the chance!" While speaking, Uchiha Feiyu had already activated the ability of the devil fruit. Bruno opened his mouth, and his blood and vitality were instantly lost, turning into a dried up person with only one breath left.

Feeling that Bruno had fallen into a coma near death, Uchiha Feiyu grabbed his head, opened his eyelids, and hypnotized him directly.

As an agent with fairly good capabilities, Uchiha Feiyu's hypnosis ability is unlikely to work long-term on Bruno. Modifying his memory is feasible, but making Bruno obey his orders would be very troublesome.

However, when a person is on the verge of death, his will will naturally become scattered, so the effect of hypnosis will naturally be much better.

This is also the reason why Uchiha Feiyu beat Bruno until he was only left with one breath. Just a moment later, Uchiha Feiyu completed the hypnosis.

"The effect of hypnosis will probably last for a few months! After all, it's to make him completely transfer his loyalty to the World Government to me, not just modify his memory."

Human memory is actually something that is very easy to modify, because humans have the ability to fill in the gaps in their brains. As long as the modified memory is relatively logical, after a period of time, it will naturally be regarded as a real experience.

However, making a person loyal to you mindlessly is equivalent to directly changing a person's personality, which is naturally much more troublesome. In addition, Bruno is also strong, so it is even more difficult to modify Uchiha Feiyu.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened in the end. After the hypnosis was modified, Uchiha Feiyu directly replenished Bruno's lost blood and vitality, and also treated his injuries. Bruno recovered soon.

Bruno, who had recovered from near death, immediately half-knelt in front of Uchiha Feiyu and said:
"Master, what can I do for you?"

Uchiha Feiyu circled around Bruno, and seeing that he was still half-kneeling on the ground without any doubt, he nodded:

"Just continue working in the bar first! Then find a way to cause a conflict between the Straw Hat Pirates and CP9..."

When he said this, Uchiha Feiyu seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Um, by the way, do you know Franky?"

"The Frankys are the largest mafia organization in Water Seven, and their members often drink in my bar."

After hearing Bruno's answer, Uchiha Feiyu nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good, you find a way to let Franky's family and Straw Hat Boy know each other, whether it's a good contact or a bad one, and then tell Straw Hat Boy that Franky is the best shipbuilder in the entire Water Seven City."

"Given the character of the Straw Hat Boy, he will definitely be able to turn enemies into friends in the end. He may even want to bring Franky aboard. Then you can leak the news to the CP9 organization and say that the design of Pluto is on Franky, thus leading the two sides to go to war."

"After the CP9 organization is defeated by the Straw Hat Boy, you can use the Gate-Gate Fruit to bring them all here! By then, the CP9 organization should still be of some use."

Bruno nodded, and did not ask Uchiha Feiyu how he knew so much information, and how he could be sure that things would develop as he said. He put himself in a very positive position, just a chess piece carrying out orders.

It is not impossible to take Bruno away now and extract the fruit, but in this way, Uchiha Feiyu will definitely be put on the blacklist of the CP organization.

Although no one saw the fight between Uchiha Feiyu and Bruno, and everyone in the bar just now had only vague memories of Uchiha Feiyu, these spy organizations do not care about evidence.

Bruno's devil fruit ability makes him extremely good at self-preservation. There is no one in Water Seven who can take him down silently. At this time, you, Blood Demon, have just killed a large number of pirates in Water Seven, and Bruno disappeared. These two points alone are enough to make the special agent organization focus on Uchiha Feiyu.

Although Bruno alone is nothing to these spy organizations, it is a different story if the user of the Door-Door Fruit is included. To put it bluntly, this devil fruit is almost worth the entire CP9 spy team!

Although Uchiha Feiyu is not afraid of the World Government now, it is not the time for him to turn against them. He is still thinking of taking advantage of the two major events of the Battle of Marineford and the jailbreak in Impel Down to make a fortune in one go. If he really turns against them, many things will be difficult to handle.

As for why they want to capture the entire CP9 agent team, it is actually just for the connection between these agents and the World Government.

It's a very simple thing. Even though this team of agents was easily misled by Spandam and became a lost cause, in fact, these agents also have their own connections in the World Government!
It is clearly stated in the official book that Kalifa has a father who is an agent, and the Lion Tamado has a mother who is a killer for the World Government. In addition, although the other agents do not have clear backgrounds, how could someone like Otonashi and Owlman, who are not strong, have a leaky mouth and are funny, join CP9 without any background?

Afterwards, these agents were promoted to CP0 after being rehabilitated. In addition to their own strength and the fact that they showed loyalty to the World Government in difficult situations, there must have been support from the forces behind them. Otherwise, how could it be so good that they could rise to the top directly after a mission failure and taking the blame?
After giving Bruno his instructions, Uchiha Feiyu did not stay in the Seven Water City for long. The Pluto design drawings might be very important to the pirates and the World Government.

But for Uchiha Feiyu, instead of having the time to build the strongest battleship, he might as well spend his time improving himself and taking over the main body. After taking over the main body, wouldn't it be much better than the strongest battleship?

Besides, the original Pluto is buried under Wano Country! It's not much better than a blueprint or something.

After leaving the Seven Water City, Uchiha Feiyu began his killing journey in the first half of the Grand Line again, and his efficiency was even higher than before.

Uchiha Feiyu, who has awakened the Blood Escape Technique, is incredibly fast. He can block seven shipping routes almost by himself. He can jump from route to island at will and engage in a battle royale with the pirates. This also makes his training speed increase rapidly.

At the same time, the terrifying name of the blood-sucking demon also resounded throughout the seven routes, and Uchiha Feiyu also deliberately left behind a large number of the dried corpses of pirates.

The scene of an empty pirate ship floating on the sea with only mummies left not only terrified the pirates of the Grand Line, but also made ordinary civilians terrified at the mention of vampires.

However, during this period, the news about vampire demons was not top of the news in the whole world. The most explosive news now was the incident of the Demon Killing Order on Judicial Island.
