Chapter 336

And its 【Resurrection Process】, only one was clearly displayed.

The Salamander Fruit.

Because what ate it was only a clump of 'poison gas', a non-living being, so after eating the fruit it became a salamander-shaped poison gas monster — 'Shimuri'.

Caesar Clown used special candy to kill Shimuri, and directed the salamander ability's recovery into a nearby apple.

This is the only case with a clearly shown resurrection process.

But in Lu Shu's thinking, the rules of fruit recovery shouldn't be just placing a fruit nearby — it couldn't be that simple.

The 'candy' and 'apple' were most likely specially treated by Caesar.

"You're going to 'manufacture' a Devil Fruit?"

Watching Lu Shu take out a brand-new apple, Nami, clever as she was, immediately reacted.

"Mm."

"Let's do a test."

Saying so, Lu Shu carefully, tentatively holding this gathered Desire Aggregate, slowly stuffed it into the apple.

At that very instant, the heart-poundingly eerie transformation on the red apple stunned Nami, the Chain Man, and all the islanders, their scalps tingling.

The scene before them completely exceeded everyone's cognitive scope.

The originally smooth apple suddenly bulged with rings of eerie wave-like patterns.

Even eerier, the originally red apple changed into all sorts of colors.

Each patch of color followed a bulging wave-like pattern.

Red, orange, crimson, green, cyan, blue, purple…

"This is…"

The 'Chain Man' was shocked.

"This… is a Devil Fruit?"

Nami was also dumbfounded.

At this point Nami was still a nobody, knowing nothing, but she had heard the legends of Devil Fruits.

"Yes."

"Didn't expect the Devil Fruit experiment to be quite successful."

Saying so, Lu Shu looked up ^ω^, glancing at the Chain Man with a half-smile.

The latter immediately felt his soul flee in terror.

Crap!

【DANGER!!】

He wants my Devil Fruit?

Run!

The 'Chain Man' said nothing, turned around, and fled.

With such an eerie ability, he was definitely no match.

"Erinaceus, go. Kill them all — except keep the Chain Man alive."

Lu Shu said lightly.

"Leave it to me, Master."

……

Erinaceus's figure moved in an instant, swift as a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye she caught up with those panicked, fleeing pirates.

Like a gale sweeping fallen leaves.

With a casual palm strike, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, she instantly smashed a pirate into pieces.

Bursting into a cloud of blood mist, with bones scattering in all directions.

Don't be fooled by how cute she looks.

When she fights, she's as vicious as a sudden downpour.

Groups of pirates were sent flying.

Like a tiger among sheep, sweeping all before her, leaving only carnage and death in her wake.

After dealing with the underlings, Erinaceus chased straight after the 'Chain Man'.

"Damn it! Don't you dare look down on me!"

Running was no longer an option.

The Chain Man clearly let out a desperate roar.

When two meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

But unfortunately, before Erinaceus, fleeing was no different from a cornered beast's struggle.

The fleeing Chain Man suddenly made a sharp turn.

As his arms swung, the heavy and coarse chains in his hands flickered with black light.

Like a vicious dragon emerging from its den, wrapped in violent force enough to tear the air, he whipped them at Erinaceus madly.

The power of the Chain Fruit, though named for 'binding people', when used to lash out could just as easily take a life.

The chains whistled toward her!

The air reeked of death.

Yet Erinaceus moved like a fish playing in water.

Facing the heavy and coarse chains raining down like a storm, she nimbly shifted and leapt through the gaps.

Every dodge was perfectly timed.

It looked just like a beautiful waltz.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Rage and fear intertwined, driving the Chain Man to swing his chains with increasing frenzy.

They were even whipped out by him like blades of wind.

Erynas seemed to have lost interest.

"Played enough."

Before the words had even faded, he closed the distance to the Chain Man in an instant, his cotton gloves descending!

【Bang!】

Moments later, he dragged out the 'Chain Man', whose four limbs had been shattered.

"Master."

"You did excellently!"

Lu Shu smiled.

He patted Erynas's small head.

Nami: What kind of ferocious creature is this, exactly?

Looks cute, but is actually a ferocious piece of work.

"I'll be leaving first, then."

"As for the treasure in that cave, I'll leave it to you."

"Also, once I'm done experimenting with this Devil Fruit, I'll give it to you as well."

"Sell it, do whatever you want with it; it's up to you."

Having said that, Lu Shu grabbed the Chain Man and prepared to open the door and leave.

This left Nami completely baffled.

"Huh?"

"You're just leaving like that?"

Something's not right.

Did this scumbag actually not have any designs on her?

Did he change his nature?

Or is this a retreat to advance later?

Or perhaps... she truly misunderstood?

"What else?"
