Do you believe I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salted soda?! (Seeking reads! Seeking reads!)

[Talk no Jutsu]

One-time consumable item

Description: The strongest ability of the Child of Destiny, brooks no argument.

Effect: After use, anything the host says for the next five minutes will maximally provoke the target's sensitive nerves. (Limited to one person)

PS: Everyone get out of my way, I can even make the dead talk and the living die just by speaking!

This is just for laughs, isn't it?

Abel was speechless. Perhaps one day, if he disliked someone, he could learn from Stephen Chow and use his eloquence to infuriate the living to death and bring the dead back to life.

Just then, Baby-5 ran in, "Young Master is convening a family meeting, everyone to the conference room immediately."

"At this time?"

Abel found it a bit strange but nodded, "I understand, I'll be right there."

Baby-5 then hurriedly rushed off to notify the others.

Abel met up with Luo, and the two of them arrived at the conference room together.

Within the next few minutes, all the cadres gathered, awaiting that person's command.

Doflamingo cut to the chase, "I just received news from the underground black market that someone is trying to sell a Devil Fruit not recorded in the encyclopedia. Because its abilities are unknown and the price is too high, there are no buyers yet. However, according to the intelligence I've obtained, many people have already set their sights on this group and are preparing to snatch this Devil Fruit."

"Buahahahaha, I say, I say, how could such a good thing be without our Donquixote Family?"

Trebol was the first to eagerly speak.

Jora then echoed with a laugh, "Ohohohoho, this lady can't wait to let those guys feel true art."

Everyone knew why Doflamingo had called the family meeting. Although they were involved in underground black market dealings, the other party hadn't given them the Devil Fruit to sell. Moreover, since they could get it for free, why spend a large sum of money to buy it?

Luo's heart stirred, "A Devil Fruit with unknown abilities?"

As if sensing Luo's thoughts, Doflamingo spoke proactively, "When the family acquires a Devil Fruit, starting from the highest-ranking cadres, they can choose whether or not to eat it."

"Currently, only Corazon and Lao G are not Devil Fruit users. Luo, Abel, you have a great chance. Want to take a gamble?"

Luo was immediately tempted!

Because only he knew that Corazon had already eaten a Devil Fruit, so Corazon would definitely not eat any more.

As for Lao G, he seemed uninterested in Devil Fruit abilities and was devoted to practicing martial arts.

Otherwise, given Lao G's age and seniority, he would probably have become a Devil Fruit user long ago.

As expected!

Corazon directly waved his hand, indicating he would pass.

Lao G also stated he wasn't interested and didn't want to become a Devil Fruit user.

Furthermore, Dellinger was only a one-year-old baby at this time, so this rare opportunity fell into the laps of Luo and Abel.

Even though they hadn't obtained the Devil Fruit yet, everyone present already considered it a sure thing for the Donquixote Family.

This wasn't arrogance, but rather that in the North Sea, there was currently no force that could contend with their Donquixote Family.

Well, except for the Navy.

While Luo was greatly tempted, he also looked at Abel.

Abel immediately stated, "I don't have that much confidence in my luck. The unknown is a terrifying thing, so I don't want it."

If he really encountered a particularly powerful or desirable Devil Fruit, he wouldn't be polite.

But he would have to be crazy to use his only chance to gamble on an unknown ability.

The risk and reward were simply not proportional!

Upon hearing Abel's words, Luo's originally excited mood instantly felt like it had been doused with a basin of cold water.

Abel is right. I only have this one chance. Directly gambling it on a fleeting probability is too foolish!

"Even if I were to gamble, I'd wait until my lifespan is almost exhausted."

So Luo stated directly, "I want to reserve this choice for now and wait a bit longer. If there are no better options, I'll gamble on this Devil Fruit."

Although this request was unreasonable, Doflamingo still smiled and agreed, "Fufufufufufu, alright. After we obtain this Devil Fruit, the family can temporarily keep it for you."

Doflamingo was quite generous to his 'Family Members,' using almost all the Devil Fruits they acquired to improve everyone's strength.

So, as long as no one else needed this Devil Fruit, he could agree to Luo's somewhat 'willful' request.

"Same as usual, leave two people to guard the house, and the rest will depart shortly."

Doflamingo scanned the room, his gaze finally falling on Corazon.

But just as he was about to leave Corazon behind as usual, Corazon wrote on a piece of paper first, "I want to go."

Clearly, he was doing this for Luo!

Doflamingo, unaware of this, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How rare, you actually volunteered to participate in the action."

Corazon continued writing on the paper, "It's been a bit boring lately."

"Fufufufufu, I told you to find something fun a while ago, and now you know boredom? Fine, you don't have to stay and guard the house this time."

"Diamante, Mahalbes, I'm leaving the house to you two."

Diamante: "Heh, it's rare for Corazon to be so proactive."

Mahalbes: "No problem, don't worry, Young Master, ying!"

This burly man covered in chest hair always ying-ing for no reason!

Abel: "I don't have a verbal tic, so it's really hard to fit in with these guys!"

Just as everyone was heading to the port, preparing to set sail on the Flamingo, Corazon once again pulled Luo into a secluded corner.

"You won't stop me this time!"

Luo glared fiercely at Corazon, like an angry rooster.

Corazon, as usual, first used his silencing wall to mute the surroundings before speaking, "I don't want to stop you from going, but when the fighting starts, you must guarantee you stay within my sight at all times and don't wander too far. Otherwise, even if you snitch to Doflamingo, I'll knock you out, take you away, and go somewhere no one can find us."

Luo's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, squeezing out a few words, "Fine, you win. I promise."

"I'm warning you, don't think about playing any tricks later. You should know my abilities."

Luo snorted and left.

Corazon felt a headache coming on; being a babysitter wasn't easy!

But no matter what, he couldn't stand by and let Luo, who bore the 'D' name, continue to stay by the dangerous Doflamingo's side.

"It seems I need to find a way to take Luo away as soon as possible."

"Perhaps this time I can start with Luo's companion?"

Corazon looked at Abel, who had already boarded the ship, with a thoughtful expression.
