"This is an intelligence broker in Black Pearl Town. As long as you can pay, they can find out anything—even the color and style of the underwear any Volgala princess is wearing today."
As he spoke, he winked at Merlin. Unfortunately, it was like winking at a blind man.
Merlin couldn't see a thing right now.
"Rich people really do have some twisted ideas. Speaking of which, Fohr, have you ever paid for something like that?"
"Don't make things up! I'm not that kind of pervert." Fulvio was speechless. "I was just giving you an example! An example! I've never bought anything like that."
Merlin gave a scornful laugh. "All right, tell me. You didn't bring me here to meet one of your sweethearts, did you?"
"How'd you pick up all that poisonous wit from my little sister?"
Fulvio was exasperated. "Anyway, forget that. Have some fruit or something while you wait. I'm going to the back to buy a list of the factions that have recently arrived on the island."

Merlin chuckled. The dim surroundings were unexpectedly soothing.
The electric eel's habits were affecting him.

[Calamity Fruit]: Synchronization Value 83%→98%
[Electric Eel]: Synchronization Value 30%→52%
The Calamity Fruit's Synchronization Value continued to rise as usual. Nearly a year had passed, and it was finally approaching its limit.
Merlin considered the choice before him. Should he bind the equipment?
If I didn't know Devil Fruits could reach the level of [Awakening], I might cancel the equipment. I've already gained the ability to control calamities.
