Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

As soon as Jellal returned to his own little courtyard, Kuina came running over again.

"Jellal, I have decided to eat the devil fruit, but not now.

Before I reach adulthood, I plan to concentrate on practicing kendo.

"I will wait until I break through to become a great swordsman, then I will eat the devil fruit, what do you think, Jellal?"

Jellal nodded after hearing this. Kuina really needs to prioritize sword training now, as she was distracted after eating the devil fruit.

"Well, then I will keep the fruit for now. I will give it to you after you break through to become a great swordsman."

"Please rest assured, I won't let you and Lady Snake down!" Kuina replied firmly.

"Come on! Kuina!"

----

After Kuina left, Jellal returned to the room and took out the devil fruit he had obtained from Marijoa a year ago.

A year ago, when Fisher Tiger climbed up to Marijoa to free the slaves, Jellal took advantage of the chaos to enter the Celestial Dragons' castle and found several Devil Fruits.

The only frustrating thing was that Jellal didn't know the exact time when Tiger would release the slaves.

By the time Jellal found out, Tiger was already preparing to escape. Time was running out, and Jellal only found six devil fruits.

The six devil fruits are:

Animal type·Bug-Bug Fruit·Dragonfly form.

Animal type·Cat-Cat Fruit·Ocelot form.

Animal type·Dog-Dog Fruit·Blue Wolf form.

Animal type·Bull-bull fruit·Yak form.

Parahuman Cannon Fruit, this devil fruit can transform one's weapon into a cannon with great power!

There is also an unknown superhuman fruit.

In addition to the Snake-Snake Fruit he already possessed, Python Form, and the Animal-Type Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Type, Giant Lion Hyena Form, Jellal now has a total of eight Devil Fruits.

There is also Punk Hazard's artificial fish-fish fruit, which makes a total of nine.

I just don't know if Vegapunk has been made.

In the original work, the research team consisting of Vegapunk, Caesar Clown, and Vinsmoke Judge was disbanded.

Except for Judge who returned to the North Sea, Vegapunk and Caesar Clown both joined the World Government.

Jellal also visited Punk Hazard, which is now an experimental base of the World Government.

It was not until Caesar Clown caused a scientific weapon explosion, resulting in a poison gas leak, that the World Government abandoned the Punk Hazard base.

Kozuki Momonosuke was sent to the year 1522 of the Kaien calendar by Toki, so just go and get it before 1522.

Jellal put away his devil fruit and headed towards the palace.

Let the Empress be the one to distribute the devil fruits.

Arriving at the Empress's bedroom, Gerard walked straight in.

"Snake Princess, are you there?"

"Ah! Jellal, why are you here? I'm taking a shower. Wait a minute~"

The empress's panicked voice was heard from the bathhouse.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were taking a shower. I'll wait for you outside."

Running out of the Empress's bedroom, Jellal's heart was pounding.

Boy, that's thrilling.

Don’t worry, you can get married in two years!

"Jellal, why are you back in the palace again? Are you here to look for your sister?"

When Sandasonia heard the empress's exclamation, she ran out immediately and saw that it was Jellal.

"Um~ yeah, I have something to do with Snake Princess." Jellal said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh, I understand. Then I won't disturb your date with my sister." Sandasonia said meaningfully.

"It's not a date. I came to see Snake Princess because I really have something to do..."

Without waiting for Gerald to finish, Sandasonia ran back to her room immediately.

Gerard could only shake his head in frustration.

"Um... Gerard, I'm done washing, please come in." The empress's gentle voice came from the bedroom.

"Oh well."

After hearing the voice, Gerard walked into the Empress's bedroom again.

As he entered the bedroom, an enchanting fragrance hit him in the face, and Gerard was immediately intoxicated.

The empress was barefoot and wearing a crimson hip-length nightgown.

Her long black hair fell to her hips like a waterfall. The water droplets had not completely dried yet, and the warm water droplets still lingered on her fair and rosy skin.

Under the loose nightgown, the northern and southern hemispheres are faintly visible.

When the empress saw Gerard coming in, she smiled and her cheeks instantly turned a shy pink, shy and charming.

Jellal suppressed the desire in his heart, took a deep breath, walked to the empress, and led her to the dressing table.

The shy empress lowered her head, pressed her abdomen, and let Jellal lead her.

Coming to the dressing table, Gerard pushed the empress to sit on the chair.

He took another dry towel and wiped her hair, breathing in the fragrance coming from the empress and said:

"Look at you, your hair isn't even dry yet, what if you get sick?"

"I...I'm just worried that you'll get impatient~"

The empress lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and allowed Gerard to stroke her head.

"Okay, wipe it dry." Gerard said softly.

"Um~ That, Gerard, what do you want from me so late at night?" the empress asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Oh~ Didn't I go to Marijoa and find a few devil fruits before, so I thought of letting Alan and the others eat them, so that they will be stronger." Jellal said truthfully.

"Then...then why don't you just give it to them directly? I have no objection."

"Silly girl, of course I can give it to you directly. But if I let you give it to me, wouldn't it increase your prestige?"

Jellal said as he released the Devil Fruit from his storage bracelet.

“Among these seven devil fruits, five are animal-type and two are superhuman-type.

One of them is a superhuman, but I don’t know its ability. Just let them choose it themselves some other time.

I still have an ancient animal seed, which I'll leave for Kuina to eat later. She's concentrating on her sword practice now and can't afford to be distracted."

"Well~ I understand. Thank you, Jellal." The empress looked up at Jellal and said.

Looking at the empress's affectionate look, Jellal couldn't help but blush.

What a charming and stunning beauty.

"Then I'll go back. I'm sleepy after a busy day~" Jellal yawned and walked outside.

"Well...you can sleep here tonight. I like to sleep with Jellal in my arms." The empress reached out and held Jellal, lowering her head and whispering.

"Ah? Snake Princess, this is not good, right? I..."

"No, you have to sleep here tonight!" The empress interrupted Jellal and tightened her grip on Jellal's hand.

"Okay, okay. But I haven't showered yet, and there are no clothes for me here."

Feeling the strength on his hand, Jellal thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to leave tonight.

"It's okay. I have prepared clothes for you here. Go take a shower." The empress said quickly, standing up and pushing Gerard towards the bathroom.

Jellal half-heartedly took a bath in the Empress's bathhouse.

"Snake Princess...can we go to bed now?"

"Yeah, sleep~"

As soon as he lay down on the wide bed, the empress's round and soft body wrapped around him.

"e=(′o｀*)))Ah, another torturous night..."
