Suddenly, Kayle pointed at a huge tree in the distance and cried, "Master... look! The Devil Fruit Tree is devouring the Demon Whale King's blood!"
Ren, still examining the Haotian Hammer, snapped his gaze toward it!
A Devil Fruit Tree stood there, its branches laden with Devil Fruits! They were the fruits Ren had painstakingly collected after conquering the One Piece World. He had gathered nearly every Devil Fruit in that world!
Ren had eaten most of the Devil Fruits before him! After eating them, he had Awakened their powers, reached Beyond Awakening, and finally used the Devil Fruit Tree to reclaim the fruits! He had kept eating them until they no longer had any effect, then reclaimed them all and placed them in the Trash Station!
Now the Devil Fruit Tree was quietly absorbing the Demon Whale King's blood and the energy within it, sprouting new branches and leaves!
Ren chuckled. "Interesting... the Devil Fruit Tree needs energy too! Let it take its time. This Demon Whale King holds so much energy that I couldn't possibly digest it all that easily!"
As he spoke, Ren looked at the Demon Whale King before him. The Amethyst Ring on his finger flashed, collecting a good deal of its flesh and some of its bones!
He also gathered up many of the Soul Beasts that had fallen along with the seawater!
Since they were Soul Beasts, their flesh contained Soul Power! He would try eating it. Perhaps it could strengthen his soul and Spiritual Pressure!
After seeing how pure Soul Power was, Ren had no desire for that muddled Spiritual Pressure anymore! He firmly believed that the quality of energy was what mattered. The higher its quality, the stronger it was!
Having collected some flesh, he took the Haotian Hammer and vanished
