Rumble-Rumble Fruit

Though Ye Mu had been a homebody back on Earth, his cooking skills were still pretty good.

After all, with no girlfriend and no desire to go out on weekends, he had often passed the time with all kinds of good food.

Time passed quickly. With Ye Mu's delicious cooking and the various tools Enel had on him, all kinds of ingredients were handled very well.

He had to admit, Enel must have been living alone for a long time. The bundle he carried held a pretty complete set of daily utensils, saving Ye Mu a lot of trouble.

Although the worlds of One Piece and Sky Island were somewhat fantastical, the ingredients were more or less the same, and the Cloud Sea was also rich with food.

Ye Mu simply chose crab, fish, and shrimp!

Of course, the task of catching them naturally fell to Enel.

In the end, although the flavor was a little ordinary because they had no seasonings, the two of them had been hungry for so long that anything tasted delicious.

After the two of them happily finished a seafood meal, they lay comfortably on the clouds and let out long breaths.

After resting for a while, Ye Mu's body recovered a little strength as well.

Only then did Ye Mu think about his situation.

It seemed the little guy beside him really should be Enel. Judging by the plot, Enel was a bit older than Luffy, and if Enel was still a child now, then it was very likely that the current era of the pirates should be around the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.

As for himself, he should have transmigrated into the body of a native of this world. In terms of age, he was about the same as Enel. But judging from the clothes on him and that big red gemstone, the original owner was probably either rich or a noble.

Unfortunately, there was not even the slightest memory of the original owner in his mind.

Still, it did not matter anymore.

At that thought, he turned back and looked at little Enel, who also had a contented expression.

He was all alone now. Whether it was for survival from here on out or for going down to the Blue Sea in the future to make his way through the world, he needed a good companion.

And the current Enel was the best possible choice.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Enel had not yet found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Did that mean that as long as he continued to follow him, there was a chance he could discover the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

When the time came, would he have a chance to replace Enel as the owner of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

At that thought, he could not control the excitement that rose in him.

After all, that was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Logia-type fruit with the strongest offensive power...

As long as he ate it, his future in this world would definitely be limitless...

At that thought, he had already made up his mind to bind himself to Enel and absolutely not let him leave.

So he spoke directly.

"How was it? Good?"

"Hmph!"

Enel gave a somewhat tsundere little snort, but his tone had already softened. Clearly, using good food to deal with children was one of the most effective methods.

However...

"I'm leaving."

This time, he really was leaving. He had already wasted a lot of time. If Sky Island's guards discovered him, he would be in deep trouble.

Those guys from the village should have returned too. If they discovered he was not in the village, they would definitely ask about him.

"Be careful. Find a place to hide. Otherwise, if the people from God's Guard discover you, you'll be done for."

As he spoke, he thought for a moment, a trace of struggle flashing across his face. In the end, he still threw down a bundle in his hand and said to Ye Mu, "This is the only fruit I have. I was originally planning to eat it myself. I'll give it to you now."

After saying that, he picked up the remaining uneaten seafood and left.

At this moment, as Ye Mu watched Enel leave, he could not even say a single word to make him stay, because his eyes were fixed on the fruit with one corner exposed in the bundle Enel had left behind.

Those mysterious spiral patterns, those lightning-like markings.

Ye Mu did not even need to think. He had already guessed it.

This was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!!

"Hey, Enel, wait..."

The moment Ye Mu said those words, he had the impulse to slap himself twice.

Enel had just taken a step when he stopped because of Ye Mu's words, then looked at Ye Mu strangely.

At this moment, Ye Mu's heart was truly tangled beyond belief, his mind struggling nonstop.

If there was one thing all One Piece fans remembered most about God Enel, it was probably not his arrogance, nor his dead-fish eyes, nor his flying ship forged from gold, nor even his great ambition to fly to the moon, but the Devil Fruit ability he possessed—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Devil Fruits, as the secret treasures of the sea, could grant those who ate them strange abilities beyond ordinary people, but as the price, they would be hated by the sea for the rest of their lives and become unable to swim.

Devil Fruits were divided into three major categories: Logia Devil Fruits, Zoan types, and Paramecia types.

Judging from the anime, Logia Devil Fruit abilities were the strongest, followed by Paramecia and Zoan.

One had to know that among the strong figures of the world, such as the Navy's three admirals, Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Luffy's father, Dragon, all were Logia Devil Fruit users.

The power they displayed undoubtedly embodied the strength of Logia Devil Fruits.

Although the power of a Devil Fruit largely depended on how its user developed it—hence the saying that there were no weakest Devil Fruits, only the weakest Devil Fruit users—a powerful Devil Fruit ability could undoubtedly spare a person many detours on the road to becoming strong.

And now, just such an opportunity had been placed before Ye Mu.

For some reason, he was absolutely certain from the bottom of his heart that the Devil Fruit Enel had tossed to him was the one known as the strongest among the Logia types—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

He really wanted to eat it right away...

But at that moment, the education he had received since childhood left his conscience faintly uneasy.

At that instant, a fierce struggle broke out in Ye Mu's heart.

As long as he ate this Devil Fruit, he would immediately no longer have to worry about survival. More than that, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, he would gain the qualifications to become a king in this world.

However, when he thought that Enel had discovered it first—even though it was obvious Enel did not know this fruit was a Devil Fruit, nor did he know its value—and then thought of how just now, despite his hesitation, Enel had still shown concern by leaving his food for him, Ye Mu suddenly began to waver.

If Enel found out in the future that the strength he possessed came from the Devil Fruit he had thrown to him back then, how guilty would Ye Mu feel?

That would probably become a shame and scar in Ye Mu's heart that could never be erased.

Would someone like that still have the right to become the king of this world!?

Two different thoughts struggled endlessly in Ye Mu's heart: to eat it, or not to eat it...

It had to be said that the education he had received for years under the red flag had indeed left Ye Mu somewhat naive, allowing him to retain a heart that knew gratitude and sought to repay it.

In the end, Ye Mu still gritted his teeth and restrained the impulse to swallow the fruit in one bite, then asked Enel, "Um, where did you find this fruit?"
