Decision

The journey from Birka to the Divine Kingdom, and back after searching for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, didn't actually take very long, but it was already evening.

At this moment, Enel was still running and did not stop.

However, he has truly reached his limit, and now he is only moving forward with his own willpower.

The body moves instinctively, taking steps, swinging arms, breathing rhythmically, running for a period of time—all of this becomes instinctive.

Enel's performance was actually sufficient, since there was no standard for joining the Night Pirates; he was essentially testing himself.

Others were also curious about when Enel would finally stop.

So, even though it was nighttime, the bored members of the Night Pirates were all watching Enel run.

Standing around the town of Birka, watching Enel slowly move forward from a distance, was monotonous but not boring.

Enel had reached his absolute limit. He was exhausted, both mentally and physically, and even his stamina was nearly depleted. He had reached a critical point and seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment, but he did not.

At this juncture, Enel is now only supported by an invisible force, propelling him forward.

He didn't know if he had passed the Night Pirates' test, so he could only persevere and give it his best.

Aside from the members of the Night Pirates, there were also a few Birka people around.

Most of the Birka people hid in their homes, afraid to go out, especially after learning that their god and three thousand God Guard had been completely wiped out, which instilled even greater fear in them.

However, seeing that these Blue Sea People did nothing, or that they didn't care and simply ignored them, a few of the bolder Birka people came out of their houses.

Nevertheless, this did not lessen their fear of the Night Pirates. The town was large, and most of the Night Pirates' members were in the central temple, as well as outside the town drawn by Enel.

Therefore, the places they dared to go out were basically on the streets of towns where the Night Pirates did not appear, and even so, they were still very cautious.

A few Birka people gathered on one side of the town, watching Enel running. They kept their distance from the crew of the Night Pirates, but it took courage of them to come here.

"Boss Enel," he muttered involuntarily, a hint of worry in his voice. These were Enel's underlings, orphans of Birka.

Enel in this state now; it seems as if he has become the only person left in the world, completely deaf and blind to the outside world.

After an unknown amount of time, it was late at night when Enel finally couldn't hold on any longer. He closed his eyes, lost consciousness, and his body went limp. He collapsed forward from his run due to inertia.

"Boss Enel!" Seeing Enel fall, several of Enel's companions who were watching widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise. They moved quickly and ran towards Enel, reaching him in front of Enel.

At that moment, a tall figure blocked their way. He appeared out of nowhere; it was Wallace.

Their gazes held a mixture of fear and wariness. At such close range, Wallace exuded a heavy aura and a powerful, steel-like presence.

As Wallace's understanding of the Steel-Steel Fruit deepened, he exuded a metallic aura. His skin appeared normal on the surface, but it had a metallic texture to the touch.

If development continues, it's possible to transform one's physique into one of steel, equivalent to half of Big Mom's.

Big Mom's physique is like Iron Balloon, combining strength and flexibility. It is as hard as steel, able to withstand most attacks, but once the force it withstands reaches a certain level, it will be absorbed by her body.

This is her almost invincible, monstrous physique.

With her Devil Fruit ability, she has the physique of half Big Mom, which is already quite strong.

"Take him off the ship first. There's a doctor on board who can help him recover," Wallace said calmly, glancing at the few Birka people behind him and crossing his arms.

It's unclear who he's talking to—his companions behind Enel, or someone else?

As soon as he finished speaking, Wallace picked up Enel's unconscious body with one hand and carried it on his shoulder.

Then they walked towards a place not far away, where the members of the Night Pirates had already prepared the things. They put Enel on a carrying pole and carried him to their residence not far away.

Shura and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at Enel being led away, exchanged glances, nodded, and followed.

"Is this all the spoils of this trip? I never expected to find it on Sky Island, but it makes sense." Looking at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in Teach's hand, Rediat couldn't help but be surprised. This was a legendary Devil Fruit that had disappeared from the sea for hundreds of years, and it had appeared before him just like that.

There were only the two of them present.

The strongest Devil Fruit are not only powerful in terms of their abilities, but also depend on how well the user develops them.

The ranking of Devil Fruit varies from era to era, largely due to the way Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User.

Moreover, most of them have left a deep mark on history, lasting for hundreds of years.

For example, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, known as the strongest Paramecia Fruit, is so named because its user was Whitebeard and it demonstrated world-destroying power.

Hundreds of years ago, a powerful figure emerged: "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody. With his talent and perfect mastery of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he became the World's Strongest at that time.

He is not a pirate, but he is also not on the side of the World Government Navy. He is a king, the king of a non- World Government Member States in the New World.

He started as a prince of a small country, but with this ability, he became king, displaying astonishing power. With his immense strength alone, he conquered several surrounding countries, becoming a world superpower.

Although the world is full of islands, basically each country occupies one island.

However, some large, resource-rich islands have many countries, which may have been formed from the breakup of a single country or established by several individuals.

Countries located on the same island are highly likely to experience conflict and even war.

Before the rise of "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody, his country was just a small nation. The entire island was in great chaos, consisting of seven or eight islands. Wars never ceased, and the country's territory and the map of the island's power distribution would change dramatically every few years.

He single-handedly defeated the armies of other kingdoms, killed the royal families and rebellious nobles of those kingdoms, and easily unified the entire island.

The name "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody officially became known throughout the world. Later, as time went by, the power of "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody continued to increase, and he gradually gained a great reputation in the New World and the entire ocean.

He was a king who knew he wouldn't be content with the status quo, so continuous expansion and conquest were his next steps.

With his immense power, even powerful pirates were easily defeated by him. Multiple countries were destroyed or submitted to him. "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody aroused the fear of the World Government and the Navy.

The Buster Call also appeared, Buster Call by Admiral, and set sail for the New World, the country of "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody, with the goal of destruction and killing Sabaody.

The existence of Sabaody has already threatened the rule of the World Government. Among the countries that have been conquered, submitted to, or destroyed are also World Government Member States, which is a huge blow to the reputation of the World Government.

Among them was the lost Heavenly Gold.

The World Government must also take action; everyone is watching.

Under the terrifying power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Buster Call was directly destroyed by the endless lightning.

It also demonstrated to the world the destructive power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

This was an invincible ability, and also the strongest ability. After that, even the World Government couldn't do anything about Sabaody, and Sabaody couldn't expand further.

"Lightning Emperor" Sabaody left a deep mark on that era, which was called Sabaody.

However, the World Government had plenty of time. As time passed, Sabaody grew old and died, and the powerful empire built by "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody crumbled overnight.

After all, the entire empire was basically supported by him alone, with unconnected islands splitting apart and subjugated kingdoms slipping out of his control.

That island, the island where "Lightning Emperor" Sabaody's kingdom was located, was also destroyed after that and disappeared into the river of history. The destruction of the entire island was naturally the work of the World Government, which wanted to erase all traces of Sabaody's existence.

However, no one knows where Sabaody died or where his body is.

However, it also cemented its reputation as the strongest Devil Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, with its invincible power.

This is the pinnacle of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It has appeared several times since then, each time either causing bloodshed or creating a top-tier powerhouse.

However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit never appeared again, seemingly vanishing for hundreds of years until now.

The story of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is told in the books brought from Ohara, which contain biographies of relevant historical figures.

These were specially selected because they were books that the crew members were interested in and were often taken out to read.

As for other knowledge-based books, it's not worth making things difficult for them; they wouldn't even have the slightest interest in them.

"Do you want to eat it? Now?" Rediat couldn't help but ask.

Teach was also thinking. He had the idea of eating, and how could he possibly give up that ability? Even if he didn't want to eat, he couldn't possibly entrust it to someone he didn't trust.

No, he wouldn't give it away even to people he trusted; he wanted to keep that ability in his own hands.

Rediat knew some of Teach's secrets. Teach was a dual Devil Fruit User; his physique was unique, an anomaly, allowing him to eat a second Devil Fruit and possess the power of two.

Even the three Devil Fruits... After learning about Teach's physique, Rediat, recalling the Night Pirates' flag, had some vague guesses.

He also knew Teach's thoughts: the second Devil Fruit was about destructive power and aggression, something the Dark-Dark Fruit lacked.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is the ability that Teach has his eye on, and the Smash Fruit is also a decent alternative. There's even the Split Fruit, which has already been eaten.

I wonder how Clown Buggy is doing now?

On the other side, in the South China Sea, a man dressed as a clown with Red Nose couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

"Ah, who's talking about me? It must be Shanks, that bastard. I've found his trail, right here in these waters. I have to catch him." As Buggy angrily.

"Hey, Captain Buggy, why do you hate that pirate Shanks so much? You've chased him all the way from the East Blue to the South Blue. But Shanks is the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, Supernovas with a bounty of 200 million Beli." A crew member asked curiously.

"You're new here, aren't you?" A crew member nearby chuckled. "It's said that Red-Haired Shanks used to be on the same ship as Captain Buggy, but Shanks caused Captain Buggy to lose a treasure map of an important treasure, so Captain Buggy hates that redhead."

"Huh! Is that so? No wonder they killed him." Upon hearing this, the crew member's eyes widened, and he immediately understood. Although he hadn't been with the Clown Pirates for long, everyone knew that their captain was a treasure enthusiast who loved searching for all kinds of treasures. The captain's cabin was filled with many treasure maps he had collected.

A crew member once accidentally spilled water on a treasure map, causing it to become somewhat blurry.

Enraged, Buggy used his powers to separate his body from his head, leaving his head hanging on the bow of the ship for three whole days, where it was exposed to the sea breeze for three days and three nights.

Buggy didn't kill him. Just as he could split his own body, his ability could also split other people's bodies without harming the opponent.

This effect is somewhat similar to the power of the Op-Op Fruit.

After three days and three nights of being buffeted by the sea breeze and starving for three days and three nights, the most unbearable pain was the agony of being torn apart from one's body—a torture straight out of hell.

"Don't be afraid of that red-haired guy. Our Captain Buggy is no slouch either. You know, Captain Buggy has a bounty of 140 million Beli, and his Split Fruit ability is incredibly powerful." The crew member who said this had great confidence in his captain, Buggy's, strength.

He had witnessed Buggy's training sessions, his development of Devil Fruit, and the scenes of him testing his techniques—it was absolutely terrifying.

Although his bounty was lower than Shanks', this is why Buggy usually keeps a low profile. He spends most of his time chasing Shanks while searching for treasure, which wastes a lot of time and is why it took him so long to catch up with Shanks.

If it weren't for the fact that while searching for treasure in the West Blue, they accidentally unearthed a secret cave, which turned out to be a secret naval base, with several West Blue naval branches working together to encircle and wipe out the pirates on a pirate island.

The Clown Pirates stumbled upon their secret plan, so they must be captured.

At this moment, Buggy displayed his power, easily defeating the marines!

That's why Buggy had a bounty on his head, a bounty of fifty million Beli.

Otherwise, they would still be a group of unknown pirates.

Later, due to the Navy's targeting and several events, Bucky the Clown Buggy's bounty was continuously increased.

Buggy is now a very famous Supernovas.
