About another month passed in the blink of an eye. Worth mentioning was that after obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, Yota finally no longer had to strike first in every battle, nor did he need to keep watching the Fourth Division at all times.
With some personal time at last, Yota spent a while searching and actually found Suiko Town in the New World. In a cave full of bats, he found the Vampire Fruit.
He solemnly put away the Devil Fruit. Although vampires were indeed somewhat inferior to Mythical Zoan-types like dragons, Phoenixes, Great Buddhas, and Yamata no Orochi, it was still a top-tier Devil Fruit, no less powerful than Yamato's Okuchi no Makami Fruit.
In truth, for someone who could only eat one Devil Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit might not necessarily be stronger than the Vampire Fruit. Only for someone capable of eating multiple Devil Fruits would the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to seize other people's Fruit powers become so highly valued.
Moreover, after this period of training and refining his body's structure, Yota's strength had not only increased greatly, but his potential had also risen to its current limit. What now restricted his body modifications and further potential growth was instead his shallow medical knowledge.
Knowledge and technology in the Pirate World were severely fragmented. While its overall level might not be much worse than that of the Naruto World—and in some respects even far surpassed it—the difficulty of gathering it was much greater. This only strengthened Yota's resolve to go to the Naruto World.
Thus, one morning, without saying a word to anyone, Yota left the Pirate World.
In any case, no matter how long he stayed away, Yota could set the time of his return to the very next second, so there was no need for farewells.
