Collecting every Devil Fruit recorded in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia sounded like nothing short of a pipe dream.
Yet Luo, who had always been the most rational of them all, retained a sliver of uncertainty.
Simply because the person who had said it was Maud.
"Why did you suddenly think of that?"
Luo shook his head slightly, came before Arthur, and looked at the Donquixote Family officers, who had lost consciousness and been bound tightly with fine threads by Arthur.
His gaze swept over the officers' limbs. With the eye of a doctor, he easily recognized the fractures suffered by these former comrades.
Arthur noticed the change in Luo's gaze and took the initiative to explain, "I broke them. Just to be safe."
Hearing this, Luo nodded at Arthur, then drew Oni-Kishin and opened his Room.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
As if cutting fruit, Luo sliced the Donquixote Family officers' bodies into more than a dozen pieces from a distance.
Looking at the severed limbs and chunks scattered across the ground, Arthur was left dumbfounded.
Luo slowly sheathed Oni-Kishin and said calmly, "This is safer."
"..."
Arthur opened his mouth, speechless.
After cutting the Donquixote Family officers into more than a dozen pieces, Luo removed their hearts one by one, then turned and left.
Arthur watched Luo's back in trepidation and asked instinctively, "What do I do with these...?"
"With what?"
Luo stopped and looked back at Arthur in confusion.
Arthur's mouth twitched as he pointed at the chunks scattered across the ground.
"Oh."
Luo glanced at the pieces of the Donquixote Family officers he had cut apart and said placidly, "If you think it's too messy, tie them into a pile. If you find it disgusting, get a bag and put them in it. Just don't kill them."
Without waiting
