The Chakra Fruit That Could Not Be Obtained

The world of Pirate King, the Grand Line, near the Sabaody Archipelago, aboard the Dark Bird Ship.

Hancock and Gion sat facing each other beside Gawain, their faces full of worry.

Gion gently took Gawain's hand, stroking it as she sighed.

"Although the master left a message before he fell into a deep sleep, he may be unconscious for a longer period of time this time."

But I didn't expect him to talk about "a long time" for so long.

It's not just a day or two, or three or four days, as I thought; it's been a full two weeks.

At this point, Gion lifted Gawain's hand and felt the warmth of his Gawain against her cheek.

Across from her, Hancock was completely bewildered. Because she had been bewildered for so long, she now looked silly and suddenly resembled Shirahoshi.

Seeing that Hancock didn't respond, Gion raised her head in dissatisfaction, glanced at Hancock, and said...

"Hey, Snake Princess, aren't you usually quite talkative?"

Why aren't you saying it now?

"If we make a fuss now, will the adults wake up?"

"You've asked me this question so many times these past few days, Rabbit..."

Hancock said, trying to hold back her sadness.

"Besides, didn't Gawain specifically give instructions before he fell into a coma?"

No matter what kind of abnormality he exhibits, we should try our best to conceal it.

Now, we're practically seen as femme fatales in their eyes, having completely captivated the adults so much that they couldn't get out of bed for over ten days.

Fortunately, we have the qualities of a femme fatale; otherwise, they wouldn't have believed so easily that we could bewitch the adults...

As they spoke, Hancock lay down wearily and nestled into Gawain's arms.

She nestled against him, looking sadly at Gawain.

Although they generally knew from Gawain's words that he wasn't in any major problems.

But... does the Gawain Family actually have this hereditary disease?

Is this a genetic disease that causes patients to be dormant for months at a time?

After the last fight between the adult and that old scoundrel Garp, he slept for a long time.

It's happened again now, which is really worrying.

Or, after the adult wakes up, you could try to persuade them to accept the doctors' special treatment.

Perhaps Dr. Kureha has a solution, or maybe she even has the Op-Op Fruit!

We have to find a way to cure it!

As she pondered this, Hancock drifted off to sleep; she hadn't slept for days.

These past few days, whenever she was awake, she would keep watch over Gawain until she could no longer resist the drowsiness and then she would begin to rest.

Now she couldn't hold back any longer, and soon, her and Gawain's breathing gradually became regular.

Beside them, Hancock and Gawain slept soundly together.

Gion rubbed her forehead weakly.

"I feel like I didn't just find a home, but rather became a mother to a bunch of kids."

After a brief complaint, Gion brought a towel and began wiping Gawain's body.

After wiping Gawain, Gion rolled her eyes at Hancock.

"Why..."

After letting out a long sigh, Gion extended the towel in her hand to Hancock.

This startled Hancock awake; Gion's hand...?!?

"Huh?"

Don't want!?!

You can't go there!!!

Rabbit!!!"

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the Dark Bird Ship.

Everyone with excellent Observation Haki was completely bewildered at this moment.

Although Gion and Hancock tried their best to cover it up, they succeeded in ensuring that ordinary soldiers and civilians living on the Dark Bird Ship did not have to worry about Gawain's safety.

But for a strong person, Gawain's physical condition cannot be concealed.

Mihawk then sat with his arms crossed on the lowest mast of the Dark Bird Ship.

While practicing his swordsmanship in meditation, he also unleashed his Observation Haki, encompassing the entire Dark Bird Ship and the surrounding ocean.

He did not like his position as Gawain's subordinate, but he was quite satisfied with life on the Dark Bird Ship.

The daily practice sessions with Gawain Gion were extremely effective in improving my swordsmanship!

Especially when fighting Gawain!

For Mihawk, Gawain was like a mirror; Mihawk could always see his own reflection in Gawain's swordplay!

He even felt that Gawain's swordsmanship was a hodgepodge of his own style!

Gawain might just be the most qualified disciple in the world!

He not only developed his own unique swordsmanship through practice, but also practically drained the knowledge of everyone who taught him.

Rayleigh's shadow, Gion's shadow, even Zoro's shadow, Isuka's shadow.

Mihawk could see Gawain's shadow in every swordsman on this ship.

Fighting such a person, Mihawk appears aloof and disgusted, but in reality, he is overjoyed.

Therefore, when Mihawk noticed Gawain's abnormality, he completely disregarded the room and used his Observation Haki to investigate Gawain's condition!

He was not a rule-abiding person at all, and his Observation Haki was not a true observation. He was also not afraid of being hunted down by Gawain if he actually sensed anything.

In short, he easily got the answer: Gawain was definitely not the kind of lazy, irresponsible person.

The reason he has missed the last two weeks of sparring is because Gawain has fallen into a coma and is unconscious!

Upon receiving this news, Mihawk was first taken aback, then became wary.

He had to admit that he really didn't want Gawain to get into trouble, which would cause the Dark Bird Ship to stop operating and the Alliance to be in turmoil.

Although he is not someone who is easily influenced by so-called dreams.

But he liked the atmosphere on the Dark Bird Ship, and that was enough for him.

Thus, Mihawk quietly took over the task of monitoring the Dark Bird Ship.

Every day, he sits on the mast like this, meditating and practicing his swordsmanship while observing his surroundings.

Half a month later, the Grand Line has begun to gain some momentum.

Pirates from Four Blues are now desperately trying to squeeze into the Grand Line before Rayleigh arrives at Reverse Mountain.

And the pirates of the Grand Line.

They abandoned their initial idea of entering the new century and desperately wanted to escape to Four Blues.

How can I describe this? Haha.

Life is like a walled city; those outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out.

In short, the Grand Line is in chaos now, so chaotic that several wars have even broken out in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Pirates stormed the Grand Auction House in droves, hoping to escape into the New World or hide on Fish-Man Island amidst the chaos.

As for the other side of the Red Line, the Navy has already built one floating bridge after another in the area adjacent to the Red Line.

They built a simple outpost there, but Admiral was always on guard.

They are now single-mindedly focused on disrupting Gawain's plans, and have decided to shorten the future of pirates with their grand scheme to shorten the Grand Line!

This inevitably caused dissatisfaction among the captains of Whitebeard Grand Fleet.

Although the final war is still far off, it is clear that small-scale clashes have already begun!

In the past few days alone, two small, reckless boats have surfaced from the seabed and launched an attack on the Dark Bird Ship!

Mihawk knew what he had to do; he didn't need to be too serious, lest more and more people guess what was going on with Gawain.

He just needs to sit back and wait, and then whenever a powerful figure appears anywhere, he can crush those guys as quickly as possible!

We cannot show that the Dark Bird Ship is lacking in combat power; we cannot expose our weakness to the enemy!

That was Mihawk's decision.

He was confident he could do it, unless it was Four Emperors...

No, are there Three Emperors now?

Unless the Three Emperors arrive in person, everyone else is just a skeleton in a tomb.

However, he sincerely hoped that this kind of life wouldn't last too long.

Otherwise, if some unexpected event causes the situation to suddenly descend into chaos...

Mihawk was ultimately just a strongman, and a mere strongman can never do the job of a leader!

On the other hand, the Shinobi World.

Or rather, in the future Shinobi World.

After two days of fierce fighting, Kaguya finally ended the battle, erasing the remaining consciousness of Isshiki.

Two days had passed, and Gawain was getting impatient. The moment the battle ended, Gawain enthusiastically celebrated with Kaguya and then presented her with scrambled eggs that he had made in his spare time over the past two days.

Eating raw food is so popular in the Shinobi World now, and there's no such thing as ramen anymore.

Therefore, it's already quite difficult to find some eggs and a pan in a nearby village to fry them.

Kaguya wasn't surprised to see scrambled eggs, or rather, apart from Isshiki, she never felt surprised.

Having defeated this Isshiki enemy, Yi Shi, she felt much lighter and even had a proper meal with Gawain.

After the meal, Gawain used a burst of flame to dry the bowls and chopsticks, then looked at Kaguya.

Meeting Gawain's gaze, Kaguya pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"I can feel your longing, and I will not break my promise."

Now that Isshiki is dead at my hands, you can offer your well-deserved gift."

After speaking, Kaguya waited for Gawain.

Looking at the utterly indifferent Kaguya, Gawain smiled slightly and said.

"What else can I desire? Look at yourself, you have West City to offer but yourself."

Tell me, do you only own one set of clothes these days?

What can someone like you possibly give me?

At this point, Gawain glanced at Kaguya with amusement.

As for Kaguya, she didn't feel offended because she herself didn't understand those things at all.

He actually looked at his own body from head to toe, just like Gawain did, and then shook his head violently.

"If you want my clothes, that's absolutely impossible."

As for your attempt to use this small achievement to make me your servant...

Then you'll just be the next Isshiki!

As for your claim that I have nothing on me...

Yes, I have nothing, but if I want, I can have everything!

Make your demands clear and stop joking with me.

Whatever you want, even if you want this entire planet, I can give it to you!

As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya looked at Gawain with absolute confidence.

In her eyes, as long as the Ōtsutsuki Clan doesn't attack, and as long as a large group of Gawain doesn't appear to beat her up.

Then she will have nothing to fear!

Facing the confident Kaguya, Gawain smiled gently and shook his head.

"Ha, Kaguya, do you think I can't get those things myself?"

Besides you, what in this world beneath my feet has the power to stop me?

See, a contradiction has arisen.

Tell me what I want, and I'll get it for you.

But even without you, I can get it on my own.

See, a contradiction has arisen, haha.

"And no matter what, it would be more reasonable for me to find a gift that I can't get on my own, that I can only obtain by relying on you, right?"

Gawain smiled and looked at Kaguya, Kaguya nodded after thinking for a while.

She felt that Gawain's words made sense, and she also noticed that Gawain's words always seemed to make sense.

So even she couldn't help but ponder it.

Is there anything Gawain can't have?

While Kaguya was deep in thought, Gawain took a deep breath and then tentatively spoke to Kaguya.

Hey, Kaguya!

I just thought about it, and it seems there really are things I can't have!

At this point, Gawain slowly looked at Kaguya's hand.

Just as Kaguya was wondering if she had something in her hand...

Gawain finally spoke to Kaguya.

"I once heard Isshiki say that you and he once planted a tree called the Divine Tree on this planet."

Although my interaction with Isshiki was brief, the first thing he did when he considered me one of your kind was to tell me that I had obtained the Chakra Fruit!

This matter seemed so serious that he had to bring it up at the beginning.

So..."

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, the All-Killing Ash Bones was pressed against Gawain's neck!

"No one can covet the Chakra Fruit, especially Devil Fruit I have already consumed it!"

"Azure Dragon, it seems we must fight to the death!!!"

As she spoke, Kaguya tried to push the All-Killing Ash Bones forward.

Although she didn't think she could solve Gawain all at once, she at least expressed her attitude.

On the other side, Kaguya was on the verge of unleashing her power.

Gawain quickly raised his hand and caught the All-Killing Ash Bones with his hand, which was covered in countless Armament Haki.

While gripping the blade of the All-Killing Ash Bones, Gawain explained to Kaguya.

"Hey, Kaguya, why are you so impatient?"

Couldn't you wait until I finished speaking?!

I'm not asking you to eat that Chakra Fruit.

I just want to ask you, how exactly was that Devil Fruit grown?

Upon hearing this, Kaguya hesitated for a moment, but ultimately withdrew the All-Killing Ash Bones.

As long as they're not trying to steal my Devil Fruit, that's fine.

Across from her, Gawain continued saying the same thing.

"Look, Kaguya, you and Isshiki have fallen out because of that Devil Fruit thing."

I can tell that you Isshiki the more influential people in your family.

You're at least a little stronger than you should be.

In short, you've already fallen out with them, haven't you?

Is it necessary for you to continue protecting their method of obtaining that Devil Fruit?

If I were you, I would know very well that after completely breaking with my family, I should strengthen my power to fight against them.

You should be like that too.

I think you could tell me how to plant trees, and then we can plant trees together and eat them together.

Throughout this process, even for the sake of the Devil Fruit, I will become your most steadfast ally.

I have the ability to stand firmly by your side and fight alongside you against your family.

And I, being stronger, can naturally provide you with even greater assistance!!!

At this point, Gawain's voice grew louder, and Kaguya also became more serious.

After listening to Gawain's words, she pondered for a long time before raising her head.

Meeting Gawain's expectant gaze, Kaguya slowly shook her head.

"Perhaps you are right, I have no need to protect the secret of the Divine Tree for the main family."

Having already eaten the Devil Fruit, I don't care whether others will get to eat Devil Fruit.

The problem is, I really can't plant a second Divine Tree right now...

This isn't because I wanted to break my promise, I... will explain it to you!
