"Exchange Devil Fruit?"
Senga's request left Ivan completely baffled; he didn't have any extra Devil Fruit to exchange for.
He thought about it carefully for a while, then looked at Senga and said,
"I don't have Devil Fruit here. Have you come to the wrong person?"
"No, I'm talking about your Hormone-Hormone Fruit."
"What?!"
Ivan's nerves tightened instantly; he hadn't expected that what Senga wanted was actually his own fruit.
As is well known, once Devil Fruit is eaten, it stays with the Ability User for life. Unless the Ability User dies, the eaten Devil Fruit will not reappear.
In Ivan's understanding, Senga meant to kill him.
However, thinking of the terrifying Conqueror's Haki that Senga had just released, Ivan's heart was filled with despair. He knew that with that kind of Conqueror's Haki, Senga definitely had the power to kill him instantly.
But sitting and waiting for death was not an option. Ivan spun and jumped, landing far away from Senga.
He strained to open his right eye wide, then blinked sharply.
"Hell Blink!"
"Bang!"
A violent explosion suddenly occurred where Senga was standing, and the smoke from the explosion enveloped Senga's figure.
Although the attack hit, Ivan felt no joy. He didn't believe that a man with that kind of aura would fall to such an attack; it was just a probing blow.
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Senga was revealed, looking utterly helpless.
"Hey, I don't want to fight, why are you getting so worked up?"
Senga didn't want to absorb the Hormone-Hormone Fruit himself; he wanted to give it to Law.
After all, he had already absorbed the Op-Op Fruit, and Law was his loyal little fanboy. He had long been planning to get Law another Devil Fruit with healing effects.
"Stop joking! I've already eaten the Hormone-Hormone Fruit; it can't be taken out anymore!"
Ivan excitedly waved his arms and legs, and after a while, his ten fingers suddenly turned into needle-like points, which he then plunged into his own large face.
"Facial Growth Hormone!"
Ivan, whose face was already quite large, swelled even more after using his Devil Fruit ability, making his face appear to be at least twenty meters long.
With his face enlarged, Ivan's body was completely obscured by his chin, and his large face began to shake rapidly, creating countless afterimages.
From Senga's perspective, countless abstract, large faces were staring at him.
Senga knew this guy was going to use the Galaxy Blink, which could be considered Ivan's strongest attack. It seemed he was really desperate.
With a helpless shrug, Senga decided to forcefully stop Ivan's performance, because his face was already abstract enough, and now it was magnified several times over, and there was more than one face!
You could see every pore on that face clearly.
Senga's figure blurred, and the next second she appeared above Ivan's large head.
At this moment, Ivan's attack was ready to be launched; she shouted with her mouth wide open.
"The Milky Way..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish reciting the name of the move, Senga from above punched him on the head, sending Ivan's face making intimate contact with the ground.
Senga didn't use any Haki in this punch; it was just an ordinary punch, and he had no intention of killing Ivan.
This guy is a bit of a weirdo, but he's a good person at heart.
His medical skills were superb, and with the addition of the Hormone-Hormone Fruit that had therapeutic effects, he not only cured countless terminally ill patients but also saved an entire country.
Senga wouldn't kill and steal from someone like that just because she wanted his fruit.
Senga doesn't dislike killing, but he would never kill indiscriminately. He is usually tolerant of kind-hearted people; this is Senga's bottom line.
Of course, even without using Haki, Senga, whose body had already reached the initial level of the Otsutsuki, could still give Ivan a hard time with the power of this punch.
Ivan was instantly retracted to his original form by that punch, his face buried in the ground, groaning softly.
"Ouch! My face is ruined!"
Upon landing back on the ground, Senga, hearing Ivan's groans, was speechless, thinking to herself, "With your face, whether you're ruined or not makes little difference, unless you become a woman, okay?"
He patted Ivan on the head and said,
"Alright, can we talk properly now?"
Ivan's body twitched, then he slowly rose, looking at Senga with a sorrowful and indignant expression, and said,
"You're strong, I admit I'm no match for you. If you want to kill me, then hurry up and do it! But could you please spare my lovely subordinates?"
Senga shook his head, Ivan's face turned ashen upon seeing this. He thought Senga was going to kill them all.
However, Senga simply took out the Devil Fruit again and placed it in front of Ivan, saying,
"This is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit called the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit. Eating it will give you eight lives. I'll trade it for the Hormone-Hormone Fruit, how about it?"
Mythical Zoan Yamata Orochi?!
Ivan stared intently at the Devil Fruit in Senga's hand, his eyes wide with curiosity. He had learned about this fruit from historical documents.
He knew this Devil Fruit was a perfect fit for his fighting style; after all, it actually gave him several extra heads, not just afterimages created by his high-speed movement.
Consuming it would not only greatly enhance his physical strength, but also make his Hell Blink more frequent and increase his attack power exponentially. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by this fruit.
However, he didn't want to give up the Hormone-Hormone Fruit either, because besides fighting, the ability to freely switch between two genders was very much to his liking.
Besides, he's already eaten the Hormone-Hormone Fruit, so how could he possibly eat another Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit?
Thinking of this, Ivan subconsciously shook his head and said,
"Even if I wanted to eat this fruit, I'm already Ability User. How can I just switch places like that?"
"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own way of doing it, you just need to agree."
Looking at Senga's confident face, Ivan was really unsure of what to do. After all, his and his men's lives were still in the hands of this navy officer, and he didn't dare to refuse outright.
After thinking it over, Ivan decided it would be better to see what kind of methods this navy had.
In any case, given the current situation, it would be a matter of a single thought for the navy to kill him; he had no bargaining power whatsoever.
Not to mention that the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit was indeed quite good; the fact that the Navy offered it as compensation is already more than generous.
Thinking of this, Ivan nodded his enormous head, indicating his agreement.
Seeing his agreement, Senga revealed a captivating smile that left Ivan momentarily stunned. He thought to himself, Tianlai Novel Network appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
"This navy officer is really handsome. I wonder how beautiful he would be as a woman."
