The Technology for Nonliving Things to Consume Devil Fruits!

Sky Garden.

Storm and his group descended from the clouds.

"Your [Cloud Fruit] has a stable power release, a long duration, and precise control..."

Storm gave Nami a thumbs-up, praising her without reservation.

"In short, it's fantastic!"

Nami's forehead was covered in sweat, clearly indicating that she had exerted herself considerably.

But when she heard what Storm said, she couldn't help but grin and chuckle.

Storm's praise was absolutely genuine.

How long has it been since Nami ate the Cloud- Cloud Fruit?

Now you can manipulate the clouds and lead a group of people on long-distance travel of "kilometers".

This doesn't even mention the many other abilities she developed before!

Nami and the Cloud- Cloud Fruit are a perfect match!

Storm reached out and ruffled the head of the big black dog Ichi beside him, then casually pulled one out of its body...

"These are oranges, a specialty of the Kingdom of Dressrosa in the New World."

Storm handed the orange to Nami as a gift.

"The taste is not bad!"

"Tangerine..."

Nami instinctively reached out and took the bright yellow orange.

Seeing this, Perona couldn't help but come over as well.

"Captain, I've been working very hard lately!"

"Oh?"

Storm rubbed Ichi's head again and took out a small bear doll from it—this was also a "specialty" of Dressrosa, not the kind of doll made from the [Hobby-Hobby Fruit], but a genuine doll.

What improvements have you made?

"A teddy bear!"

Perona's eyes lit up, and then her cunning eyes darted around, immediately finding her target.

"It's you I choose! Positive Ghost!"

A White Ghost emerged from Perona's hand.

The White Ghost darted into Luo's body, which lay limp on the ground due to the thin air, at an incredible speed.

Luo was struck by this "Positive Ghost".

The Surgeon of Death had just seemed listless suddenly sprang to his feet as if injected with a shot of adrenaline, leaping up from the ground in a "carp-like" motion.

"Captain!"

Bepo, who had just been admiring the pristine scenery of the Sky Garden, was startled when he saw Law suddenly regain his energy.

Are you alright?

"Great! I'm perfectly fine now!"

Luo's voice sounded powerful and full of passion and enthusiasm, completely different from his previous performance.

"I feel like I could eat five rice balls and a whole grilled fish in one go!"

"Completely different from the previous Captain..."

Looking at the energetic Law, Bepo couldn't help but ask.

"What if it were bread?"

"Although I hate it!"

Luo replied with great confidence.

"But you can probably eat about ten pieces!"

Watching the interaction between Law and Bepo, Storm immediately looked at Perona.

Is this all the progress you've made?

Storm hesitated slightly before handing over the teddy bear he was holding—he had already prepared some gifts for each of the crew members.

"To increase one's appetite?"

No, no!

Perona blushed, but she still reached out and took the teddy bear, hugging it tightly to her chest.

"It's just that my abilities aren't fully developed yet; I'm still in the experimental stage..."

That's understandable...

Storm understood, and he shifted his gaze to Luo beside him.

After that brief moment of "passion and enthusiasm," Luo, like a deflated balloon, returned to his previous listless and lethargic state.

"You woman..."

Luo leaned unsteadily against Bepo, his dark circles seeming to have gotten a little bigger.

"What did they just do to me...? Did they give me adrenaline...?"

"Adrenaline?"

Perona tilted her head, looked at Luo with a puzzled expression, and then shook her head vigorously.

"What are you saying? I don't understand!"

"Let's talk about abilities later."

Storm reached out and interrupted Law and Perona's conversation, then looked at Doflamingo and Baby 5 standing to the side.

"Luo, are you going to kill these two people or not?"

The sudden shift in topic was astonishing.

Luo was momentarily dazed, but he quickly recovered.

"I... that woman, Baby5, she's a very special Devil Fruit User, [Paramecia Weapon-Weapon Fruit]... she should be very useful, right?"

Storm looked at Luo with a slightly strange expression, then shook his head.

"You just said, 'I don't want Baby 5 to die'... Is it really that hard to say?"

Luo opened his mouth, but truly didn't know what to say.

Because of that battle for the [Op-Op Fruit].

Law was filled with hostility toward every member of the Donquixote Family.

But Baby5 was just a child at the time, a child not much older than Luo...

Luo's hatred for Baby5 was naturally not as deep.

Furthermore, given his relationship with Baby5—though he was unwilling to admit it, they did indeed have something akin to "childhood sweethearts"—Luo didn't want to kill Baby5.

But Luo couldn't bring himself to say those words, because he felt it was too embarrassing...

"Since that's what you think, then Baby5 is yours. Your Heart Pirates shouldn't mind having another female member, right? Besides, you think she's 'useful'."

Storm waved his hand, and a small Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared instantly.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon swung its tail, hooked Baby5's body, and placed her on its back.

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] is not so easy to withstand.

So much time has passed, and Bbay5 still shows no sign of waking up.

As for the Doflamingo next to it, let's not even mention it.

Storm pointed to the Heavenly Yaksha on the ground and asked casually.

"And what about Don Donquixote Doflamingo?"

"I think..."

Luo paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"I want to kill Donquixote Doflamingo myself! But I'm too weak right now..."

"You mean, you'll wait until you're strong enough before seeking revenge against Doflamingo?"

Storm nodded slightly, gesturing for Ichi to come forward.

"Then let's keep this Doflamingo locked up for now!"

Ichi stepped forward, opened his mouth, and swallowed the unconscious Doflamingo whole.

This scene caused everyone else around to twitch slightly.

"Captain, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, what's the deal with this dog?"

Nami, holding the oranges, couldn't help but ask.

"Is it also Devil Fruit User? Can dogs eat Devil Fruit?"

Its name is 'Ichi,' and you can think of it as a Devil Fruit User.

Storm ruffled Ichi's hair and casually explained.

"As for your question, everything can eat Devil Fruit."

"Not only humans, not only other animals, but even inanimate objects can eat Devil Fruit!"

"Non-living matter? That's impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Luo instinctively denied it.

How can a non-living being 'eat' Devil Fruit?

"I don't know the specific principles behind this, but Dr. Vegapunk has developed this technology."

Storm shrugged and casually gave a few examples.

"As far as I know, Baroque Works in Alabasta possesses a Fire Pistol that has consumed the [Zoan Dachshund Fruit];

"The World Government's CP9 department possesses a sword that has consumed the [Zoan - Elephant Fruit].

"In the Navy, there is also a rocket launcher that has been hit by the [Zoan Alpaca Fruit].

"There are quite a few examples."

The examples Storm gave were so detailed and realistic that he knew not only about Devil Fruit, but also about the types of objects that had "eaten" Devil Fruit.

Law, Nami, and Perona had no way to refute it.

Storm didn't elaborate much on the "technology of non-living beings consuming Devil Fruit," and instead steered the conversation back to Ichi.

"As for 'Ichi,' you can think of it as a 'mobile warehouse' with unlimited capacity."

Storm patted Ichi's head again.

"I created 'Ichi' precisely for this job!"

Nami and Perona didn't think too much about Storm's last words.

But Luo noticed a particular word in Storm's words—

Create!

Luo gave Ichi a deep look.

Can these special creatures that have eaten Devil Fruit be "created" artificially?

After a casual chat.

Storm then led the group toward the central area of Sky Garden.

It can't really be called "walking".

Storm directly used the [Awakening] ability of the [Clay Fruit] to temporarily assimilate the land of the Sky Garden into clay, and used the waves formed by the clay to quickly send everyone to the central area of Sky Garden.

Luo had been shocked by Storm countless times.

However, Luo was still amazed by the ability to so easily assimilate and influence an island.

White Dragon, Sky Island, and unfamiliar "companions"...

Luo felt as if a whole new world was opening up to him.

Sky Garden, Central Area.

Aside from Bear and Bonney, who are currently receiving treatment in the Germa Kingdom.

The rest of the Storm Pirates are here.

Upon seeing Storm and his group arrive, the other members greeted them warmly.

At this moment, Storm solemnly introduced the "ship's doctor" he had his eye on to everyone.

"This is Trafalgar Law, a 'doctor' with very high medical skills."

Luo looked at the group of people opposite him, intending to maintain his aloof demeanor and introduce himself to these strangers.

But just then...

The figure of the old skeleton with the afro, hidden in the crowd, came into Luo's line of sight.

Thick, black, afro-like hair; a white skeleton; not a single trace of flesh or blood, yet it can move freely.

"Skulls?!?"

Luo's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

"Doctor, welcome to the team."

Brook strolled up to Luo and extended his right hand.

"My heart is pounding with joy—even though I don't have a heart! Yohohoho!"

Luo's eyes widened again; the scene before him was utterly challenging his worldview as a doctor.

"A talking skeleton!"

"I am not an ordinary skeleton."

Seeing that Luo was stunned, Brook replied in a serious tone.

"I am a skeleton who ate the [Revive-Revive Fruit]—no! I should say I am Devil Fruit User of the [Revive-Revive Fruit], but when I was resurrected, I only found my own bones."

Luo mechanically reached out his right hand and grasped Brook's slender, cold hand bones, causing him to involuntarily shudder.

This "New World".

Isn't that a bit too "new"?!

Second update.

Goodnight everyone.

Regarding tomorrow's update.

If the cold symptoms improve, it's around midnight.

If it doesn't get better or even gets worse... I will go to the hospital.
