After dinner, Shalulia summoned a man dressed in black, who was carrying a delicate little box.
Shalulia took the box and dismissed the man in black. She walked up to Senga and said mysteriously,
"This is for you. Guess what's inside?"
Senga glanced at it and knew it must be Devil Fruit.
He's not very interested in Devil Fruit anymore; he already has a choice in mind for the remaining spot on his left eye.
However, since this fruit was selected from the Celestial Dragons' treasure trove, its power is probably not too bad. Let's take a look.
Seeing Shalulia's smug expression, Senga said directly,
"I know, it's Devil Fruit."
"Forehead..."
Shalulia's expression fell; she had wanted to keep them in suspense.
She didn't know much about Devil Fruit, and her collection was mostly Zoan, because she used to enjoy having them fed to slaves and watching them "fight."
Hearing that Senga seemed to be very interested in Devil Fruit, she went to research them and learned that there are quite a few categories within the Zoan, including the extremely rare Mythical Zoan.
So she searched the treasure vault for a long time with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit were indeed rare.
Aside from the Asura Fruit she had given to Senga, she searched the entire treasure vault but couldn't find a second Mythical Zoan.
But she is, after all, Celestial Dragons; money is just a number to her.
A bounty of two billion Beli was placed, and not long after, a Mythical Zoan was delivered to her table.
She felt that Senga would definitely like the Devil Fruit, and that their relationship would improve somewhat.
Judging from Senga's current expression, he seemed to have already given up on Devil Fruit. Shalulia felt that all her efforts had been in vain, and she stood there dejectedly.
Senga felt that she might have been a bit too cold towards this girl, probably because she was Celestial Dragons, coupled with her somewhat neurotic personality.
However, she has been quite kind to me. Whether it was the promotion in Sabaody or this Devil Fruit, it's clear that she genuinely wants to befriend me.
Thinking of this, Senga's expression softened slightly. He took the box and said,
"Thank you, I'll accept this fruit."
"Hey, you're welcome. It was prepared for you anyway..."
Seeing that Senga accepted the Devil Fruit and thanked her, Shalulia jumped for joy again.
Today, she not only received praise from Senga for the first time, but also heard him say thank you. Does this mean that Senga's attitude towards her has improved?
Senga took the box and opened it immediately. Inside was a black cantaloupe, the most distinctive feature of which was the stem at the top that looked like a pair of cow horns.
Shalulia suddenly leaned closer, eager to show off her knowledge and explain the Devil Fruit to Senga, as if she had put in a lot of effort.
"I've already checked the Pokédex for you; it's Mythical Zoan Zoan -type fruit, the Ox-Ox Fruit - Ox Demon King Mode!"
Ox-Ox Fruit...
Senga felt that this prefix was unnecessary; she could just say it was the Bull Demon King form.
He didn't intend to eat the fruit himself, but he could give it to someone close to him. Senga already had the best candidate in mind: his teacher Zephyr.
Actually, the most suitable fruit for Zephyr would be the Count Red's Vampire Fruit, but it's obviously unrealistic to specifically look for that fruit.
He's not Blackbeard, who spent twenty years waiting for a Dark-Dark Fruit.
Since this Ox-King Fruit is Mythical Zoan, it certainly won't be too bad.
If Zephyr obtains this fruit, his strength will definitely increase significantly, at least enough to restore his Admiral strength.
In that case, Professor Zephyr will have to postpone his thoughts of retiring.
But Zephyr is not even seventy yet, why is he thinking about retirement? Roll him up, teacher! You can keep this re-employment gift!
Looking at the Ox-King Fruit in his hand, Senga's face revealed a wicked smile.
Shalulia was very close, and she found Senga's smile to be truly beautiful, possessing a strong attraction for her.
With her eyes darting around, Shalulia grew bolder as Senga's attitude towards her improved. She tiptoed and quietly brought her face closer to Senga.
Senga noticed her movement, his expression darkened, and he said,
What do you want to do?
Shalulia's expression froze, remaining motionless as she held her face out.
Senga looked at Shalulia in this state and found it amusing; he knew exactly what the girl was thinking.
After thinking for a moment, Senga suddenly bent down and tapped her forehead.
Shalulia instantly struck dumb, her face turning visibly red, and steam even rose from her head, making her look rather cute.
Shaking his head, Senga stored the Ox-King Fruit into his Door-Door Space and said,
"I'd like to give this fruit to my teacher, Zephyr. Do you mind?"
"..."
"What does it mean to not speak? Is that not allowed?"
"..."
No matter what Senga said, Shalulia didn't react at all, so Senga had no choice but to reach out and tap her on the head.
Shalulia then snapped out of her daze and hurriedly waved her hands, saying...
"It's already yours, you can do whatever you want with it!"
After saying that, she blushed and looked at Senga, then fell silent.
Senga smiled at her again. This girl was becoming more and more likable. If they really had to wipe out the Celestial Dragons, he would definitely protect her.
After chatting with her for a while, Senga went to rest in the room that Shalulia had arranged for him.
Upon entering the room, one is greeted by an extravagantly large bed covered with luxurious-looking bedding.
But the most eye-catching thing was a doll that seemed completely out of place with its surroundings. (Tianlai Novel Network)
This doll is the same as Senga's; its shape is extremely abstract, and its most distinctive feature is its spiky hair. That's right, it's modeled after Shalulia.
Sitting on the bed, Senga picked up the doll, looked at it speechlessly, and commented,
"It's ugly! Didn't I tell you not to keep this hairstyle anymore?!"
The next day, Shalulia obediently took Senga to meet the Gorosei. They had already delayed for a day, and any further delay would incur the Gorosei's wrath.
On the way, Senga looked around at the surroundings. He had to admit that the place where these Celestial Dragons lived was really luxurious. He could also see many people cleaning there, and the whole environment looked spotless.
Unfortunately, most of the people living there are Celestial Dragons, who look utterly repulsive, which is a real waste of this place.
But it doesn't matter anyway, since this place will eventually turn into a pile of gravel anyway, and Senga doesn't have the habit of living in a second-hand house.
