The Love Left by His Parents (Part 2)

And so, we "fought" our way from the reception point to the other side of the island.

Then we chopped down a large tree and made a simple raft before leaving Giant Village.

Then we began our journey home!

But we still underestimated the World Government's intelligence network. Somehow, they found out that the three of us had set sail together from the very beginning.

What followed was the World Government's pursuit!

During the chase, your father and mother met on a beautiful little island.

Five months later, your mother discovered she was pregnant with you! We began to think that we could not delay any longer.

Before that, we had been afraid of dragging our hometown, Ring Tree Island, into this, so we had never dared to return directly and had only been wandering around aimlessly.

But now, we had to make a choice!

Afterward, we headed for Ring Tree Island, while the Navy and the World Government's spy organization, CP0, also mobilized.

Because the Devil Fruit in that box was a terrifyingly powerful Devil Fruit!

The World Government would never allow it to remain outside their control.

It was raining that day, and the location was right where the three of us had encountered a storm when we first set sail all those years ago.

At the time, the World Government used poison gas bombs. Your father was poisoned while covering our retreat, and your mother was also poisoned while trying to save him.

Just as we were about to despair, a storm as massive as the one from ten years ago suddenly arrived.

The three of us and your mother were swept into the sky as well. Fortunately, this time, we held hands tightly and refused to let go.

This time, luck favored us!

The storm sent us directly back to Ring Tree Island. Unfortunately, we landed on the seabed around Ring Tree Island.

Already utterly exhausted, we ran into Salt-Eating Sharks. Under normal circumstances—

Any one of the three of us could have handled them, but at that time, we no longer had the strength to fight.

Still, we gritted our teeth and swam toward Ring Tree Island.

I lost my right hand while covering your mother, but compared to your father's life, my right hand was far too insignificant.

After a brutal battle, we finally returned to Ring Tree Island.

The people on the island did not blame us for secretly eating the Scale Fruit all those years ago.

Instead, they accepted us and your mother with tolerance.

Then, after your mother insisted on carrying you for four months and gave birth to you, she passed away. Your father followed her the next morning.

Later, your Uncle Kate became the captain of the Hunting Squad, specializing in training its members.

As soon as I returned, I met Cole's mother—your Aunt Lillian! We got together after that.

Before long, we had Cole.

And that box containing the Devil Fruits was with me. I had kept it safe all these years."

Uncle Witt said, "That is what happened to your father and mother!"

Uh!! Wasn't that your own story?

Luo Han looked at Uncle Witt with utter disdain!

Ah!! Luo Han gazed up at the starry sky, his expression complicated. So this is the love between blood relatives. Though I cannot repay you with filial devotion, I will carry this love with me and see the whole world.

Uncle Witt said, "You are both curious about what kind of Devil Fruits are in that box, aren't you?"

Cole looked at his father, his face full of curiosity.

Luo Han also pretended to be curious!

Uncle Witt said, "Devil Fruits are secret treasures of the sea. Every Devil Fruit possesses a special ability, and after someone eats one, they gain that ability.

But a person can only eat one Devil Fruit. If they accidentally eat more than one, their body will explode and they will die."

"Then! What ability does the Devil Fruit in that box have, Dad?" Cole could not wait to know the answer.

Uncle Witt said, "Actually, there are two Devil Fruits in the box. One is a Zoan Devil Fruit, and the other is a Paramecia Devil Fruit.

We do not know what their abilities are, but they must be very powerful."

I see!

Luo Han said, "Uncle Witt, why didn't you eat those two Devil Fruits back then? Maybe if you had, you all could have returned safely."

At this, Uncle Witt looked seriously at Luo Han and Cole. "Luo Han, Cole, remember this.

After eating a Devil Fruit, although you gain a special ability, you are also cursed by the sea.

Once Devil Fruit users fall into seawater, their entire bodies become powerless. From then on, they become helpless swimmers.

That was why we did not dare eat Devil Fruits back then. If we had been caught, we would not even have had the chance to jump into the sea and escape.

Just like that storm—if we had eaten Devil Fruits, our only fate would have been to sink to the bottom of the sea. Neither of you would exist.

So in the future, you must be careful not to fall into the sea."

Luo Han said, "Alright, I understand, Uncle Witt!"

Cole's face was full of question marks.

What? I need to be careful too? I haven't eaten any fruit!

At this moment, Uncle Witt glanced at Cole!

Then he took two Scale Fruits from within his loose robe.

No! One was a Scale Fruit, and the other was a Devil Fruit!!

At once, Luo Han and Cole were drawn to that Devil Fruit!

The banana-shaped Devil Fruit was covered in patterns shaped like wide-open mouths, linked together in alternating rows.

That must have been the other Devil Fruit from the box!

Uncle Witt said, "I believe that Luo Han, you now know that what you ate before was a Devil Fruit, not a Scale Fruit.

Perhaps you are also wondering why we are only giving you the Devil Fruits now.

Actually, we had considered what to do with them long ago. We decided to give them only to suitable people.

Because we hoped that those who ate these two Devil Fruits could protect our hometown.

The reason we gave the Paramecia Devil Fruit to Luo Han was because you had been intelligent since childhood and were more suited to developing a Paramecia Devil Fruit.

As for this Zoan Devil Fruit, it is for Cole. After Cole ate the Scale Fruit, the physical talent he displayed was the strongest we had seen in more than twenty years.

So Cole will become even stronger after eating the Zoan Devil Fruit."

Cole was a little dumbfounded! So it's for me to eat!

Hmm! It seems Brother Han ate a Devil Fruit too. Then I'll eat one too!

The little fatty, Cole, was full of thoughts at that moment!

"Cole, eat it! Don't you like eating?" Uncle Witt said, holding the Devil Fruit and pursing his lips at Cole.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

The little fatty grabbed the Devil Fruit and swallowed it in one bite, then chewed it.

Luo Han watched the little fatty's face turn green, then white, then black! It was too amusing!

"Ah! What is this?! It tastes awful! Dad, you lied to me! Ah... ahhh... ah!"

The little fatty actually burst into tears!

Still, it was understandable. Luo Han had cried when he ate one too.

At this moment, Uncle Witt took the Scale Fruit he had been ignoring until now and handed it to Luo Han.

"This is your Scale Fruit. Last time, Uncle Kate was just joking with you! He specifically traded for it from me."

Uncle Witt said helplessly!

Luo Han happily accepted the Scale Fruit. With it, his foundation could catch up to the physique of ordinary monsters.

Of course, he could not compare to the fatty. This guy's appetite had been getting bigger and bigger, and his body had also grown larger over the past few years.

Especially after eating the Scale Fruit, it felt like he had grown a whole size bigger in just two days.

At that moment, a savage beast-like aura emanated from the little fatty, Cole.
