"You have?"
Kuro paused for a moment, then said, "That thing seems to be quite rare."
Mayor Mendel scratched his head: "I don't know, it seems like it was a long time ago, around my grandfather's time. If you want to see it, I'll get it for you."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"It's alright, it's only right that I serve a good man like you!"
Mendel gave Kuro a 'deeply affectionate' look and gave him a thumbs up.
Soon, he brought back a thick book.
It is indeed a "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia," with the names written on it, so how could it not be?
Kuro turned to a page, and sure enough, it was full of pictures of Devil Fruits, along with their names and abilities.
There are too many Devil Fruits on the sea. Although the encyclopedia cannot include them all, at least some of them can be seen.
Kuro was 80% certain it was the Float-Float Fruit, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to check it out.
What if it isn't?
If I were to eat it, and it turned out to be a fruit that wasn't very useful, wouldn't that just create a weakness for myself for no reason?
However, Kuro quickly found what he wanted in the encyclopedia.
It was on the middle page of the illustrated guide, and the fruit picture on it was exactly the same as the one in my hand.
"The Floating Fruit..."
Kuro was in a bit of a dilemma.
"The Floating Fruit? That means..."
Lida was startled and was about to say something when Kuro glared at her, and Lida immediately shut her mouth.
"A Devil Fruit? That's rare. By the way, where did you get it?" Mayor Mendel asked curiously.
"A kind old man with a ship's rudder on his head."
Kuro weighed the Float-Float Fruit in his hand.
But what Kuro really wanted was the 'Glint-Glint Fruit'.
However, the old man is only fifty-six years old, and the fruit's life-saving ability is top-notch. If nothing unexpected happens, he can live for another ten or twenty years, which is too long.
Now a powerful fruit has been delivered right to your face.
Eating is definitely an option.
Devil Fruit users are disliked by the sea and their weakness is Seastone.
However, the Float-Float Fruit seems to ignore the fact that it's located in the ocean.
If we can fly, what's there to be afraid of in the ocean?
As for sea stone...
Is it possible for someone to fly up into the sky and handcuff themselves?
Kuro had thought about what kind of Devil Fruit he would eat if he were a Devil Fruit user. Apart from those abnormal Logia-type fruits, there were very few Paramecia-type fruits that would catch his eye.
The Floating Fruit is one of them.
What a wonderful fruit! It can fly, manipulate matter, and if you can't beat it, you can run away. If all else fails, it can hide in the sky and not come down.
"Old man, you really go the extra mile, bringing me everything. I really can't not burn some paper money for you now."
Kuro smacked his lips.
At a young age, he was forced to shoulder the obligation of burning paper money for two old men.
"Do you want some, Kuro?"
Seeing Kuro staring at the fruit in deep thought, Lida asked him a question.
"ah..."
Kuro nodded and took a bite of the fruit.
Devil Fruits are a unique feature of this world, you absolutely have to try them!
It's just that it tastes bad!
He bit a hole in the sky-blue fruit.
"Hmm..."
The moment it entered his mouth, Kuro almost vomited.
It really tastes awful.
Kuro didn't know what poop smelled like, but this fruit didn't smell bad, and of course, it didn't taste good when eaten.
Instead, it has a rotten taste that comes from a combination of various flavors.
It tastes terrible!
Kuro forced himself to endure the nausea and continued eating the fruit.
Although it's true that with Devil Fruits, you only need to take the first bite.
But he couldn't be sure whether the effect of the first bite was the same as eating the whole thing.
What if the effects are stronger after you finish the whole thing than after the first bite? It's just a nasty thing anyway, so you can just bear with it!
This is related to my future safety.
Kuro destroyed all the fruits, let out a long sigh, and shakily took out a cigar from his pocket. He lit it with trembling hands, almost failing to light the match.
His mind was severely impacted!
"What does it taste like?" Kro asked. "It looks awful."
"I almost time-traveled again!"
Kuro gritted his teeth and said something that no one could understand.
"How is it? Is it coming out soon?" Lida asked curiously.
"It can't be that fast, my abilities..."
Thump!
Kuro suddenly clutched his chest and squinted slightly.
Abilities surged forth.
Those who eat a Devil Fruit will understand what their power is, without any doubt.
At that moment, Kuro understood without a doubt that he had eaten the Float-Float Fruit and become a "Floating Person".
"Lieutenant, we are ready and can depart at any time!"
At that moment, Sergeant Kero entered and saluted Kuro.
"Then let's go, thank you, Mayor Mendel."
Kuro stood up, picked up [Sakura Ten] and [Wooden Dry], and said to Mendel.
“Hey, a good man should go to sea, go!” Mendel grinned, revealing his gleaming teeth.
After saying goodbye to Mayor Mendel, Kuro left the town, boarded a ship, and the ship sailed out to sea.
Destination: the amusement island 'Morgati'.
This was the place we were supposed to go.
Although the Golden Lion delayed him for a while, his overall goal remained unchanged. He remembered his objective: to hide in the East Blue until the end of the Marineford War.
...
Inside the cabin office, Lida and Kuro stood to the side, both looking at Kuro with curiosity.
