Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

With great power, everything is within easy reach.

This is why she was unwilling to continue using false emotions to comfort Usopp, but instead directly pointed out his current weakness!

"arrive!"

Stopping in front of the secluded room on the far right of the second floor, Kaya stretched out her hands and gently pushed the door open.

Suddenly, a clean white room with simple decorations appeared before everyone.

On the pristine white bookshelf to the left, there are some scattered books.

Besides that, there was only a clean and tidy large bed, a small wardrobe, and a simple full-length mirror.

"This is my room..."

After a brief introduction, Kaya walked towards the bed and, to everyone's surprise, lifted the sheets, blankets, and the wooden board underneath.

"This is where we keep our [secret]..."

“This was originally just a storage room. After Kro killed my parents, I was forced to live here…”

"Perhaps this is why it's the blind spot, which is why Chloe has searched the entire house several times but still couldn't find the 'secret' I mentioned."

"Ah... I can't hold back anymore!"

Unable to contain her excitement, Nami's eyes lit up as she asked, "Could the 'secret' you're talking about be a huge pile of gold and silver treasures?"

"Right! Right!! I must have guessed right!!!"

"You're as greedy as ever, Nami!"

Seeing Nami's eyes practically sparkling with greed, Zoro couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "With so much treasure on the ship, can't you even satisfy your greed?"

"Nonsense, who would complain about having too much money? Besides..."

Nami glanced furtively at Huang Hai and declared righteously, "Only half of the treasure inside is mine. If someone gives me the other half as well, I can die in peace..."

Don't even think about it...

Huang Hai smiled and said, "If you keep doing this, you won't even get half of it..."

"No, no, no, I was just trying to lighten the mood."

Nami waved her hands repeatedly, sizing up the little head, and muttered resentfully, "What a domineering miser! Who uses money to threaten others..."

"Actually, this 'secret' isn't about gold or silver treasures. But if you really want to be serious, it's pretty much the same..."

After placing the bed board and sheets properly, Ke Ya walked to the center of the bed, slowly squatted down, reached out and pressed down on one of the white stone slabs, and suddenly exerted force.

Click!

The stone slab dented directly and then slowly bounced back up.

Then, Kaya performed the same operation four times in a row.

Suddenly, the remaining stone slabs on both sides of the mechanism stone slab slowly rose up as if activated, revealing two white boxes that were neither too big nor too small, about the size of basketballs.

"The secret I was talking about is this..."

Take out the two boxes one by one, and Kaya reaches out and opens the box on the left.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was empty.

"This is the [Dense Fruit] that I ate!"

Kaya took a small note out of the box and said, "But it was seeing the message on this note that made me decide to eat this fruit..."

"And in the other box, just as I expected, there was also a Devil Fruit! This is the secret I was talking about, one that's as valuable as money!"

"After all, even the cheapest Devil Fruits on the market, priced at 0.9, cost over 100 million Berries..."

"More than 100 million Berries!"

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up as she looked at the treasure chest, swallowed hard, and her expression became somewhat excited.

If Hai hadn't been standing next to her, she probably would have pounced on him.

click!

Kaya had already unlocked the latch and opened the treasure chest that had been sealed for many years.

Before them appeared a white apple, covered in unique arabesque spiral patterns and shaped like a magnified apple.

"This is an unknown Devil Fruit..."

Kaya gently took out the Devil Fruit and handed it to Huang Hai, saying, "At that time, faced with choices both known and unknown, I could only choose the fruit that was best for my situation..."

"And this unknown one, I kept."

"As for who should eat it, and whether they should eat it at all, that's entirely up to you, Captain!"

Chapter Sixty-Six: Rejection X Acceptance X Heartbeat

"An unknown fruit..."

Huang Hai took the white, apple-like Devil Fruit and examined it closely, clearly very interested.

After all, it was Luffy who ate the [Bullet-Bullet Fruit], not himself.

Although Luffy is dead, it's not certain that with the power of the Bounce-Bounce Fruit, he won't die from another fruit exploding.

To be honest, the desperate situation I experienced in the sea is still deeply etched in my mind.

"Alright... the three of you can choose for yourselves."

Holding the Devil Fruit in his left hand, Huang Hai turned to look at Nami, Zoro, and Usopp, who were looking on with curiosity, and explained, "First of all, I want to make one thing clear: no matter what kind of fruit it is, once you eat it, you will have the weakness of being afraid of seawater and unable to swim!"

Even I am no exception!

"In addition, there are special substances in seawater, such as Seastone, which have a similar restraining effect on ability users as seawater does. You need to be aware of this!"

Seeing that the three remained silent and seemed lost in thought, Huang Hai nodded and continued, "Now that we've discussed the disadvantages, let's talk about the advantages of Devil Fruits!"

"Devil Fruits are divided into three main categories: Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia. There are many detailed subcategories within these categories, which I will not go into detail here."

"The strongest Devil Fruit is the Logia type. You should be able to understand it from the name. Natural disasters like wind, fire, lightning, ice, and light are what we call Logia types!"

"Just by eating one, one can go from an ordinary person to a near-top-tier powerhouse. As far as I know, the three highest-ranking and strongest admirals in the Navy are all users of Logia-type Devil Fruits!"

"Admiral!"

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.

Although they lacked a basic understanding, they could sense the overwhelming power emanating from Huang Hai's apprehensive tone.

"However, this person is too far removed from us, so let's get back to the topic first."

Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Huang Hai smiled and said, "Next is the [Zoan] type. The Zoan type is divided into [Common], [Ancient], and [Mythical]!"

"I've heard that [Mythical Beasts] are even rarer than [Nature-type] Beasts, and some even possess multiple different abilities, such as the [Phoenix] which can fly and control flames..."

"Of course, the [Ancient Species] are in no way inferior in some respects. For example, their mammoth, dinosaur, and saber-toothed tiger forms enhance their physical constitution in ways that far exceed ordinary people's imagination..."

"Even the most common Zoan-type Devil Fruit [Normal Species], once consumed, will grant the user the abilities of any animal, regardless of its species, and their vitality and regenerative abilities will surpass those of ordinary people..."

"What about the Paramecia type?"

Hearing this, Nami asked with great interest, "It must be extraordinary too, right?"

"I am the [Superhuman]."

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Huang Hai smiled and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit is the most interesting ability in the world."

"Aside from abilities related to animals and natural disasters, all abilities can be categorized as [Superhuman]! And [Superhuman] abilities often place the greatest emphasis on developing one's own imagination!"

"For example, the aerial movement ability I used before was developed based on my bouncing ability..."

"The reason I say that Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are the most interesting is that they can be developed infinitely according to one's own ideas, and how far they can go depends entirely on the user..."

"That's enough of the small talk. You just need a general idea. Now, let's decide who will eat this fruit?"

"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit before, I definitely would have eaten this one. After all, while the unknown carries risks, it also contains enormous rewards!"

"Whether you gamble or not is up to you..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Ke Ya, however, was looking at Huang Hai with curiosity.

From the other party's explanation of the Devil Fruit system, she had figured out that the [Dense-Dense Fruit] she had eaten should be within the remaining [Paramita-type] fruits.

According to the other party, their abilities seem to extend beyond secrecy and espionage; it appears they can develop other abilities and effects.

Or should we continue to strengthen these two capabilities on the existing basis?

the other side.

After listening to what Huang Hai said, Zoro closed his eyes and pondered for a while. With his left hand on the hilt of his sword, he finally dispelled all his restless thoughts, slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I think I'll pass!"

"My goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman! If I take shortcuts using Devil Fruit abilities, my swordsmanship will no longer be pure..."

After saying that, Zoro stopped looking at the Devil Fruit and turned to walk out the door.

"Then I'll eat it!!"

Before Nami, who looked conflicted, could answer, Usopp said with a determined look in his eyes, "Since I'm classified as an archer, whether it's a slingshot or a gun, they're all external objects. So what's wrong with having another Devil Fruit ability!"
