Esdeath's Devil Fruit!

Her hazy vision gradually brightened from the darkness. She could feel that the light was very soft until she could clearly see the white ceiling and crystal chandelier above.

Esdeath looked at the gold and red blanket covering her with a complicated expression.

She could clearly feel the pain coming from her lower body, and at the same time, scenes and memories from yesterday gradually surfaced in her mind.

She ultimately agreed to become Imu's woman.

Because she knew very well that she had no choice, and after rational consideration, she realized that Imu was a perfect match for her in terms of strength, status, appearance, and temperament.

Or rather, you should consider whether you are good enough for the other person.

This is incredible.

Who would have thought that the incredibly arrogant Esdeath would harbor such feelings of inferiority?

Ever since she was easily defeated by Aokiji, she had been in a state of constant shock and numbness, and her so-called confidence and pride had long been severely damaged.

If it weren't for the toughened will she developed Vice Admiral years of training and combat, she would likely have undergone a drastic personality change and lost her basic composure by now.

Esdeath was generally satisfied with her conversation with Imu yesterday.

Because Imu did not object to her request to participate in the war, but only gave a seemingly difficult requirement: she must defeat an Admiral before she would be allowed to go out and fight.

According to Imu's own words. "You're so weak you can't even beat Admiral, so don't go out and embarrass yourself!"

That's the sentence that Esdeath still remembers vividly.

Fortunately, Imu promised to help her improve her abilities in various aspects, such as Haki, Swordsmanship, Physical Arts, and tennis; he could personally instruct her in all of these.

As for other resources, she, as Empress, naturally has the right to enjoy them first.

So Esdeath gave everything and accepted everything Imu gave her, except that the 'exchange' last night was a little too difficult.

She hadn't expected Imu's strength and speed to be so formidable. Even with her own strength and physique, she had unconsciously fainted, and her voice was still somewhat hoarse.

"Call----"

As Esdeath exhaled a long breath, her snow-white, smooth legs slid out from under the golden-red blankets, followed by a perfect, fair body that shimmered in the sunlight streaming through the Hari.

Her sky-blue hair flowed down her back like a waterfall from the Galaxy, reaching all the way to her thighs.

The entire scene truly showcases the meaning of beauty to its fullest extent.

Unfortunately, no one at the scene witnessed any of this.

Good morning, Empress Majesty.

Good morning, Empress Majesty.

Ten minutes later, when Esdeath finished washing up and came out of the luxurious bathroom, she saw two Ubuyashiki sisters, who were completely indistinguishable from one another, leading four ordinary maids carrying Amber Lead trays, approaching her.

"This is the 'Heavenly Phoenix Hundred Birds Immortal Dress' prepared for you by Lord Imu. It not only has extremely strong defensive capabilities, but it is also a symbol of the Empress."

As Hina, one of the ordinary maids stepped forward and showed Esdeath the crystal-clear platinum dress on the tray.

She recognized it at a glance as the magnificent gown worn by Historia the Empress before, and without a second thought, she reached out and put it on.

"Hmm, it feels quite comfortable, and it doesn't seem to affect my movements. Not bad!"

Esdeath noticed that the white dress was outlined with a complete golden phoenix with outstretched wings using gold thread, and various birds were dancing along the hem.

Moreover, although it looks very elegant and dignified, it doesn't feel restrictive at all.

This is also what she is most satisfied with.

"This is Nichirin Blade in the shape of Flower Sword, prepared for you by Lord Imu. Its blade not only exudes the aura of sunlight, suppressing all darkness, but its temperature also increases with the strength of your grip, until it burns with flames like the sun."

Then Hinaki Ubuyashiki continued her introduction.

At the same time, a second ordinary maid stepped forward, carrying a gleaming silver Flower Sword on a white plate, following her words.

"What a fine sword!!"

Esdeath's eyes lit up. She quickly gripped the hilt, pointing the sword upwards. Her beautiful blue eyes scanned the cold blade, and she was surprised to find blue ice cracks gradually appearing on it.

"Um?"

This is essentially based on the process of making 'Great Grade Sword', with the addition of a large amount of 'Ape Scarlet Iron Ore' and 'Scarlet Ore', giving it stronger sunlight properties than ordinary Nichirin Blade.

"The Nichirin Blade displays different colors and patterns depending on the user's attributes, hence it is also known as the 'Color-Changing Blade.' Your blade's pattern is blue, indicating that 'Water Breathing' is more suitable for you."

This time, it was Hinaki Ubuyashiki was wearing a yellow headdress, who spoke.

"I see."

Esdeath felt as if she were encountering something new again.

Actually, Imu originally wanted to get her a Flower Sword similar to Brook's 'Soul Solid' that could emit a chilling aura.

For Wano Island, Famous Blade Town for its swords that has gathered several of the world's best swordsmiths, this was not too difficult, but after thinking about it, I decided to switch to Nichirin Blade.

He felt that for Esdeath, even a sword with ice-attribute abilities was merely icing on the cake.

However, a specially made Nichirin Blade that amplifies the energy of sunlight is different.

High-temperature flames and sunlight energy both added to her means of fighting enemies.

"What about this one?"

Esdeath looked with great curiosity at the white box on the next tray, and then saw Hinaki Ubuyashiki gently open the lid with both hands, revealing a tubular syringe containing blue liquid.

"This is the 'Perfect Type II Cell Enhancement Serum' newly developed by the Biochemical Academy of Sciences."

"Compared to 'Perfect Type I,' which only reaches the total cell count level of most Sea Star Person, 'Perfect Type II' can allow your total cell count to reach an exceptionally high level."

"According to the explanation provided by the Biochemical Research Institute, while it cannot bring your physique to the top level of the Sea Star Person, it is enough to ensure that you will no longer be troubled by your potential before reaching the combat strength of Admiral."

Hinaki Ubuyashiki withdrew her hands and then respectfully placed them in front of her abdomen as she explained.

"Then hurry up and use it for me!"

Esdeath was already tempted after hearing this introduction.

In her view, this Cell Enhancement Serum was more valuable than anything else.

That's huge potential!

She was once again deeply shocked by the World Government's apparent strength. It turned out that what Enel had told Kuzan was true; they had indeed only seen the tip of the Iceburg.

"Please wait an Empress, Your Majesty. A professional medical team will conduct a comprehensive examination of your body before administering this serum."

After saying that, Hinaki Ubuyashiki had someone open the white box on the fourth Amber Lead tray.

The next moment.

A round fruit, pure white with blue spiral patterns on its surface, resembling a cantaloupe, came into her view. At the top of the fruit grew two icy branches that looked like tentacles.

"Finally, this is the Zoan Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Kirin form, Devil Fruit that Lord Imu has prepared for you."

"Devil Fruit?!"

Esdeath's pupils suddenly contracted to tiny slits as she stared intently at the strange fruit inside.

The fact that giraffes in the One Piece world all possess the Ox-Ox Fruit means that there are no deer in that world.

The Kirin is definitely a powerful creature, since the Azure Dragon is a fish, after all.

I finally finished writing out Esdeath's arrangements, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
