Chapter 298

Until Robin swallowed it, not a single drop entered her mouth.

"Mmm! It tastes like apple," Robin said with a smile, squinting her eyes.

This made everyone else who had tasted Devil Fruits look on with envious eyes.

"Great job, Sanji!"

"This invention is a blessing for everyone!"

"That's great!"

"No more worrying about the taste!"

On the ship, besides Robin,

even those like Zoro who swore they would never eat a Devil Fruit, who could be a hundred percent sure they wouldn't encounter an irresistible Devil Fruit in the future?

Take Nami, for instance,

the Mera Mera no Mi's amplification for her wasn't actually ideal, but she still had to eat this Devil Fruit; if anyone tried to snatch it from her, she'd go berserk!

"Robin-chan, try the Luck Fruit's ability!" Vivi asked curiously.

? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu?

Auto-subscriptions are short by 2 for extra chapters! Just 2 short!

25. The Unexpected Owner of the Munch-Munch Fruit! Getting Two at Once!

"Robin-chan, try the Luck Fruit's ability!" Vivi asked curiously.

But...

How do we test this thing?

Robin smiled and looked at Vivi, who had made the suggestion, causing the latter to realize!

"Forget it, let's see if there's a unlucky soul next time," Vivi hurriedly waved her hands.

Fearing Robin would treat her as an experimental target.

Causing everyone to burst into laughter!

Sima Di took out another Devil Fruit—the Munch-Munch Fruit.

"Everyone, this is a Devil Fruit that could grant more Devil Fruit abilities," Sima Di looked around: "Does anyone want it?"

Everyone exchanged glances; some were tempted, others indifferent.

Luffy spoke first: "I want it! Give it to me, give it to me!"

Saying this, he lunged straight for the Munch-Munch Fruit, ready to swallow it whole.

"Bang!"

Nami punched Luffy onto the deck, smashing his head right into it.

Showing just how hard she hit.

"Are you an idiot!" Nami said with a dark face: "Even if you want the Munch-Munch Fruit, you have to drink the Devil Fruit Compatibility Potion first, you know!"

Everyone finally realized...

If Luffy had swallowed the Munch-Munch Fruit directly just now, he would most likely have exploded!

After Luffy pried his head off the deck, Sima Di shook his head and refused.

"The upper limit of the Munch-Munch Fruit is the ability to devour other people's Devil Fruit powers, which requires very strong Devil Fruit ability development skills; otherwise, too many Devil Fruit abilities would become a burden... And Luffy, dare you say you want this Munch-Munch Fruit not because you're after its ability to have an infinite appetite?"

Huh?

Wasting a Devil Fruit slot just to eat infinitely?

Oh well...

Just like Luffy.

But what Sima Di said was also true; while the upper limit of the Munch-Munch Fruit is high, its lower limit is equally low.

It can only be used by someone with a nimble mind.

That immediately ruled out several people on the ship.

As for the rest...

"For development, Usopp and Franky should be the best candidates," Robin suggested.

"I'll pass," Usopp shook his head: "I need time to develop the Explode-Explode Fruit's ability, and I'm just a sniper; the consumption from multiple Devil Fruit abilities is predictably terrifying, I'm afraid I can't sustain it."

That made sense too.

Everyone turned to look at Franky."1

"Aaaah—I am quite interested in this ability, but I need to research first whether an item can eat multiple Devil Fruits; if it can, I can do it without the Munch-Munch Fruit at all!"

Oh well...

Does such a potential Devil Fruit have to be shelved for now?

After all, even if it can devour other Devil Fruit abilities, it will most likely require awakening to do so; naturally, the sooner you eat it, the sooner you awaken.

"Vivi, you don't have a Devil Fruit ability yet, why not try?" Nami suggested.

But Vivi shook her head frantically!

"I don't want to! Devouring people and such... that's too terrifying!"

Everyone finally realized...

The Munch-Munch Fruit's ability requires "devouring" first to digest, so to devour the abilities of Devil Fruit users, it seems one must devour the person first?

Now the "humans" present could not accept that.

Naturally,

their gazes fell on the only two non-humans—Chopper and Run-Kuai.

Among them,

Although Fast-Runner is quite smart, he still has some awareness compared to ordinary people.

So...

"Ah? Why is everyone looking at me?" Chopper asked, completely bewildered.

As a reindeer, he

simply could not empathize with the obstacle of "humans do not eat humans."

"Chopper, I think this Munch-Munch Fruit suits you best," Sima Di said: "Just right, your Human-Human Fruit...

"Ah... but can I really do it?" Chopper hesitated a bit.

Deep down, Sima Di was doubting himself!

"Chopper, do not underestimate yourself!" Kurokas patted Chopper's hat and said: "You are the one with the most talent in Medical Arts I have ever seen. Developing the Rumble Ball was a super difficult problem for me; you must believe in your development abilities!"

"Moreover, the Munch-Munch Fruit can refine and combine swallowed items; perhaps this way you can help Kurokas develop Haki potions," Robin tempted.

This made Chopper's eyes light up!

"Is it really possible?"

"No problem at all!"

"You are Tony Tony...

"Believe in yourself, Chopper!"

Sima Di struck while the iron was hot, directly pulling out the Devil Fruit Compatibility Potion, force-feeding it to the dazed Chopper, and then letting Chopper bite a piece of the candy wrapper Robin had left.

The Munch-Munch Fruit thus had a new owner.

The distribution of the spoils ended there.

Sima Di then brought up the old matter again—

"So, everyone, regarding the Four Emperors' crew coming, do you think we should run away or fight them head-on?"

Facing Sima Di's question...

The cowardly trio who should have been the first to fear and suggest running away—Chopper, Nami, and Usopp—

were all silent.

Excellent!

They finally have the confidence of the strong.

"Why run away!" Luffy shouted angrily: "If someone comes to trouble us, of course we should just beat them away!"

With the captain having stated his position, the others also spoke up one after another.
