Chapter 102
Luode now has a total of four Devil Fruits in his hand, two Animal-type and two Superhuman-type, but the most precious is still this Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
Another Superhuman-type Fruit, Luode plans to directly hand it over to Kaido to handle, after all turning into a great iron hammer, this ability feels useless, so he'll give it to Kaido to reward his subordinates! As for the two Animal-type, Luode intends to keep them; the yellow scorpion's toxicity isn't particularly strong, but the scorpion's tail still possesses some attack capability.
As for the Wild Boar Fruit, to be honest it's actually quite good, even better than most Animal-type Fruit abilities; its sharp tusks can attack enemies, the wild boar's stiff fur can effectively block attacks, and the physique will also increase considerably; to be honest, this Fruit is still quite good.
Its original owner relied on this Fruit to earn over 100 million berries in the New World.
These two Animal-type Devil Fruits, Luode plans to store them away; perhaps in the future they can be rewarded to some of his subordinates, or another option is to select people who possess special energy and have been infected by special energy, and have them consume them.
"Lord Luode, plus Lady Sylvanas, Kaido the Great Governor requests an audience." At that moment, a voice sounded outside the door of Sylvanas and Luode; a subordinate of the Beasts Pirates came to report.
"What's the matter?" Luode opened the door and asked.
"Report, Lord Luode, Mr. Kaido says: X Drake has already arrived in Wano Country and is currently meeting with him; please come over, and also bring along that Three-Eyed Tribe girl from the Charlotte Family." A minor subordinate of the Beasts Pirates spoke.
After waiting over ten days, X Drake, you finally came.
"Understood, go inform Governor Kaido and say I'll be there right away." Luode said.
The minor subordinate nodded and immediately ran off.
"Let's go! Sylvanas, we're going to see Kaido; that X Drake has already arrived, we can extract the Ancient Special Dragon Fruit from him." Luode said.
"Yawn! Honestly, I was hoping to rest a bit. If that's the case, are we going to extract five Devil Fruits in a row today?" Sylvanas stretched lazily, patted her mouth, yawned, and said.
"No need; we should first lock him up, then probe his memory to confirm he's a spy, and then see what Kaido decides." Luode said.
Anyway, the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit won't escape. As for how to deal with X Drake, it's still up for debate, after all if the Navy finds out they sent a spy who got discovered.
They'll likely send another spy over, making it even harder to single out individuals, since Luode lacks precognition.
Sylvanas nodded, came to Luode's side; Luode embraced Sylvanas, one hand turned into a dragon claw, then he produced some flame clouds, lifting the two into the air.
Sometimes the Azure Dragon Fruit's abilities are really handy, especially when used in human form; although not as powerful as the dragon form, it's still a very good ability.
Soon, the two arrived at an island of Whole Country, where they saw some of Big Mom's children.
They have basically been brought under Kaido's control, restricted to a certain area; the entire Whole Country Archipelago has been taken over by the Beasts Pirates, and some ordinary members of the original Big Mom Pirates have now joined Kaido's Beasts Pirates.
As for those who don't want to join, heh! Then sorry about that.
"Mr. Luode, I don't know if you have anything you need our help with?" Katakuri, along with his eldest son Perospero, hurried over to speak.
"Lick lick! If Mr. Luode has any orders, just speak up."
"I need one of your sisters to help me with something; she may follow me around from now on." Luode said.
Katakuri and Perospero exchanged a glance, then asked.
"Mr. Luode, I don't know which of your sisters you need help from?"
"The 35th daughter of your Charlotte Family, Charlotte Bulin." Luode said.
Upon hearing this, they both wore expressions of "as expected"; they had taken a liking to Bulin's abilities—whether the Memory Fruit or the Three-Eyed Tribe's power, Bulin's value is extremely precious.
"Mr. Luode, I'll go call Bulin over now, so she can follow you from now on; I hope you'll take good care of our sister." Perospero said and then turned and left.
Only Katakuri remained here to keep Luode company; is this fate? When they first learned of Luode's ability...
Charlotte Linlin originally intended to have Bulin and Luode marry; if that failed, she would use the Memory Fruit's ability to control Luode; the result is that now all of them have become prisoners.
"Don't worry! As long as your sister obeys and follows my instructions, I won't harm her; in fact, she might even gain quite a few benefits." Luode said.
As long as this little girl is smart enough, she won't refuse my demands; moreover, once a woman resigns herself to fate, she won't rebel against you.
The Memory Fruit's ability remains very important.
However, this girl is still too young now, and Luode won't be so bestial as to do things that harm heaven and reason.
Another Charlotte Peros on Half Tall Island; Pero quickly found his sister who was making chocolate cake.
At this moment, Bulin was making cake while humming a tune, and the two Homies nearby were happily chatting with their owner.
After arriving in Wano Country, she had been a bit anxious for the past few days, but gradually she accepted the situation; anyway, it's much better than her mother occasionally going mad.
"Owner, could you give me some chocolate cake later?" a flying carpet said.
"No problem, you two both get a share; wait there obediently, I'll finish it soon." Charlotte Bulin said with a charming smile, her three eyes blinking.
At least for now, no one will mock her eyes, right? I never imagined Mom would be defeated like this, and soon she'll be executed.
But with Katakuri as her big brother and Perospero as her big brother protecting her, they should also be able to settle down in the Beasts Pirates.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the house.
"Bulin, are you there? It's your brother; I have something to discuss with you."
Bulin stopped her work, opened the door, looked at her older brother, and asked in a lovely voice.
"Big brother, do you have something you need me for?"
"Hmm! Bulin, pack your things now; a big shot from the Beast Pirates has taken a liking to you, and from today onward you'll go live with him." Charlotte Perospero said.
My poor sister! Your special three-eyed tribe bloodline, plus your memory fruit ability, are both things that people covet greatly.
Before, when Mom was still around, she could still protect you; now you have to look after yourself.
"Is it because of my bloodline and my ability?" Bulin said. Well! This day has finally come; the enemy indeed took a liking to me, took a liking to me; it couldn't possibly be because of my appearance, after all, three eyes are really disgusting.
"Mr. Luode assured me that as long as you obey obediently, you'll be fine; as an older brother, that's all I can do." Charlotte Perospero said helplessly.
Having personally sent his little sister away, he, as an older brother, felt awful inside, hoping the other party wouldn't hurt Bulin.
"Don't worry, big brother! I'll listen well. Mr. Luode should also be a big shot in the Beast Pirates, his rank possibly only below the admiral, Beast Pirate Kaido; following him would be a good thing for me." Bulin said.
"Let's go! Don't keep them waiting too long." Charlotte Perospero said.
Soon the siblings had packed their things, and the two Homiez constructs also followed beside Bulin.
Bulin actually wanted to hand those two Homiez constructs over to her brother, but these little guys had followed her for years and insisted on staying by her side, so helplessly Bulin could only bring them along.
Soon, Perospero brought over a girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen, a lovely little lass with a head of brown hair and a normal proportioned figure.
Some bangs covered her forehead.
"Mr. Luode, this is our sister, Charlotte Bulin; please take good care of her." Perospero bowed to Luode and said.
"What a cute little lass; don't worry, I won't hurt her." Luode said.
This little girl's ability will be extremely extremely useful in the future, my darling hasn't even had a chance yet! 'Mr. Luode, I am Bulin, the 35th daughter of the Charlotte family, please give me your guidance.' Dulin came before Luode, bowed slightly, and spoke.
Beside her was a blanket, and there was also a sticky Homie construct.
Then, with a frightened expression, they hid behind her; these two Homie constructs felt something extremely terrifying on Sylvanas's body, even having a feeling of facing their mother.
'Come over, I'll now take you to see Governor Kaido; in a moment I'll use your fruit ability to read a newcomer, to see if he's a Navy spy.' Luode said.
'No problem, Mr. Luode, leave it to me!' Bulin said.
After Bulin finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the blanket beside her immediately unfolded, turning into a flying carpet.
'This thing is pretty amazing; if this were in the Aizelasi World, it would be a decent mount.' Luode looked at the small flying carpet ahead and spoke.
There's no way around it, as an adventurer who had struggled for many years in the Aizelasi World, Luode has a special fondness for mounts and such.
He also really wants a flying carpet mount and such!
I want to collect various flying mounts! 'This, this is my mother's creation; the Homies made by my mother using the Soul-Soul Fruit have some miraculous power.' Bulin said.
However, while speaking, they felt a little bit sad, these Homie constructs.
These are the last Homies; after mother dies, unless the next wielder of the Soul-Soul Fruit appears, they will be out of print.
Even some weak Homies might possibly die along with her after mother dies.
'Come on, little girl, if you're obedient, maybe we can still give you some rewards! With three people, it should be able to carry us, right?' After Luode finished speaking, he pulled Sylvanas onto the small flying carpet.
'Lord Luode, rest assured, I, I can carry it, may I ask where to go?' The small flying carpet spoke with a frightened expression.
'Toward Ghost Island, I'll give you directions!' Luode said.
Soon the small flying carpet flew up into the sky; its flight speed wasn't very fast, and even because it was carrying three people, it wobbled as it took off.
Seeing this, Luode hastily produced some flame clouds to help lighten the small flying carpet's load.
'Thank you, thank you, sir.' After the small flying carpet felt the flame clouds appearing beneath it, it immediately spoke gratefully.
This lord looks gentle; I hope he will be a good master and treat his female master a little better.
'You're welcome, little guy.' Luode said.
From today onward, you will take my surname; anyway, your female master will also be taking my surname in the future.
'What a miraculous construct, just like a living being, it even has a soul inside.' Sylvanas touched the small flying carpet beneath her buttocks and spoke.
Although the Aizelasi World also has many magical little trinkets, they are merely magical constructs made to look like living beings. Completely different from these Homie constructs, they truly possess intelligence.
In the myriad nations, there are vast numbers of Homie constructs: big trees, various furnishings, soldiers, and all sorts of bizarre items.
'Th-thank you, thank you, lady, for your praise.' The small flying carpet spoke timidly.
'Bulin! I heard you are from the Three-Eyed Tribe; can I see your third eye?' Luode asked.
However, Bulin herself was a bit nervous; her third eye is very ugly, she usually covers it with her bangs, otherwise she wouldn't dare go out to meet people.
'Well, well, maybe not then! Mr. Luode, my eyes are very ugly.'
'It's fine!' Luode said.
Bulin took a deep breath, then with both hands pulled back her bangs, revealing the third eye inside.
'Actually it's quite pretty, you don't need to feel inferior.' Luode laughed and spoke.
Coaxing a maiden's heart and such, I'm quite skilled at it; moreover, the female version of Erlang Shen actually wouldn't be ugly either.
'Ah! Really, really? Mr. Luode, don't you think I'm ugly?' Bulin asked with an excited expression.
Actually someone thinks their own eyes aren't disgusting.
Sylvanas merely shook her head at the side; Luode, this bastard, is again abducting an ignorant girl.
