With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

Zell, who went to look for devil fruits alone, found a devil fruit in a wasteland, and then followed the direction of the map to the second devil fruit.

Before he knew it, Zel came to a place similar to a cactus. Looking around, there were tombstones everywhere. The atmosphere was gloomy and creepy.

Zel restrained his breath, activated his Observation Haki, and walked cautiously.

In front of a tombstone, a little girl with white hair and thin figure was eating the tribute voraciously.

The girl was probably only five or six years old and was completely unprepared for Ze'er's arrival.

After swallowing the last fruit, he couldn't help but burp, patted his stomach and prepared to leave.

But when she turned around, she saw Zel, who was two meters and five meters tall and looked like a giant to her. She turned around in disbelief and pretended not to see him.

After a while, he turned around again and passed by Zel as if he hadn't seen him.

Zel was also amused by the little girl's self-deception and said, "Stop pretending, little sister. Tell me why you are stealing the tribute here."

Hearing Zel's words, the little girl's appearance suddenly changed. The legs on her lower body suddenly disappeared, turned into a cloud, and drilled directly into the ground.

Seeing this, Zel wanted to grab her with his hands, but his arms went straight through her body.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl disappeared from sight.

Looking at his hand, Zel became more interested in the ability of this devil fruit, which could actually be like a natural type.

Zel followed the red dot on the system map slowly and steadily.

There was no way. At the beginning, he could still sense the little girl with his observation Haki, but after she used her ability, she became like a dead person, without any life.

About twenty minutes later, the little girl's head appeared in front of a tombstone. When she looked around and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Zel again.

Just as she was about to escape underground again, Zel's hand covered in Armament Haki grabbed her and took out the sealing rope to trap her.

"Ugh...Wow! Wow!"

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the little girl rolled her eyes and began to cry loudly.

"Wuwuwu, big brother, can you let Keli go?"

If Zel hadn't seen her little action, Zel might have softened his heart.

Ignoring Klee's crying, Zel slammed his head on her head, making her crying sound more natural.

Zel raised his hand and pretended to do it again, which scared Klee so much that she stopped crying.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

Zel's words made Klee hesitate for a moment, but she finally raised her head and said, "Because only here no one will look down on me."

Klee's words made Zel stunned. There are only dead people here, who would look down on you?

According to Klee's description, she has been here for a year. When she was four years old, she accidentally ate a devil fruit, and her hair and skin turned extremely pale.

Her parents are pirates. They are extremely angry that she ate their devil fruit worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they beat and scold her every day.

Until they reached Whiskey Mountain and were killed by pirate hunters, Klee used the fruit to escape underground and saved them.

With nowhere to go, she found a cemetery with many tombstones and plenty of food, so she settled down there. A year passed in a flash until she was caught by Zel just now.

Zel could tell that Klee wasn't lying and felt bad for her experience.

She is just a six-year-old child, but she has experienced such a tortuous growth.

Not all pirates are like Roger and would raise children.

Most pirates are obsessed with money and lust, and children are just accidental products.

Zel untied the ropes and gently invited Klee: "Would you like to join me? I promise you will have endless food in the future."

Zel's voice was so gentle that Klee felt at ease. For some unknown reason, she didn't object.

Zel squatted down and held out his hand to Klee.

Klee hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with Zel.

………………

On the coast, Vilia, who had returned early, was flying on a Charizard when she suddenly saw Zel in the distance.

If you look closely, you can see a little guy following him.

"Everyone, the captain is back!"

Everyone who heard Zel's voice looked and was attracted by Klee beside Zel.

"Ah! The captain's illegitimate daughter?"

The carefree Heli said something shocking, which startled Zel who was far away. He picked up Klee and jumped onto the boat, then hit Heli on the head with a bang.

"Ah! It hurts!"

There was a big bump on Hurley's head, and she squatted on the ground holding her head.

"If you can't speak, don't speak."

The others smiled at the scene.

Villian asked, "Captain, aren't you going to explain?"

Villian had been with Zel for a long time, and she knew what kind of person Zel was. She was no longer as cautious in her words as before.

Zel briefly told them about Klee's experience, and the girls all felt very sympathetic towards Klee.

Although they are unfortunate, they all have good parents, and they are much older than Klee.

Afterwards, Villian told Zel what happened today, which made Zel angry.

Zel had thought that someone was planning to take advantage of them, but he didn't expect that there were so many people who were not afraid of death.

This made Zel feel more urgent. It seemed that he had to go to Magnetic Drum Island as soon as possible. He had to get the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. He could only hope that it was on Magnetic Drum Island.

Nano armor has very high requirements for metal, so Hurley has not started to manufacture it yet.

"Stay a few days longer and relax. It's not good to sail on the sea all the time."

Although Zel wanted to leave early, it was too boring to float on the sea all the time. Nothing could make people feel more at ease than land.

………………

The next day, Zel woke up, took away Tris and Carol's hands on him, and left the room.

The devil fruit obtained yesterday has also been retrieved. It is a superhuman explosion fruit, and the reward is naturally scientific knowledge related to explosions.

After Zell recorded the contents into the Book of Omniscience, he threw the original copy directly to Hurley, which made Hurley excitedly start her explosive journey.

After Zel had exercised for a while, the others also got up. In the early morning, a long line of people exercising formed along the coast.

Taking advantage of this time, Zel also learned about Klee's devil fruit ability.

According to Klee, she can transform her body into a spirit, and ordinary people cannot touch her.

At the same time, she also has the ability to feel the inner thoughts of others and use soul energy.

The reason why she left Zel so easily was that this ability to sense other people's inner thoughts played a big role.

Zel tried the soul energy and found that it was a force that struck the soul directly. It did not cause any physical damage, but it could create a strong pressure on the human mind.

The more he understood, the more Zel felt that this devil fruit was a ghost fruit, which was completely different from Perona's spirit fruit.

Two days later, the people who were exercising on the coast as usual did not react.

Only Zel saw a red dot approaching rapidly on the system map.

At first, Zel thought they were just ordinary pirates, but when two huge warships appeared on the sea, Zel's expression became solemn.

"Everyone beware!"
