Successful Deprivation, Kalifa Eats the Float-Float Fruit
Smoke and fire mingled, waves rippled across the surrounding sea, and Ye Chen lay on an island, his body slowly recovering completely.
He floated into the air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and used his Observation Haki to look down. On the other islands, Ye Chen spotted the Golden Lion.
Two years later, Ye Chen's Observation Haki Control has extended from five seconds to ten seconds. Just now, at a critical moment, Ye Chen used his full-body explosion to clash with the Golden Lion.
The tsunami-like force of the collapse was on a completely different level compared to two years ago.
Apart from Ye Chen himself, no one knows how much stronger he has become in the past two years.
His figure slowly flew away, and before long, Ye Chen stood on another dilapidated island. In the very center, the ground was cracked, and the Golden Lion, covered in blood, lay on the ground, barely alive.
Seeing Ye Chen slowly land, his domineering gaze remained unchanged.
"Bss."
At this moment, Enel recovered some of his strength and solidified his body next to Ye Chen, while Bege and Tesoro, covered in injuries, landed on the ground using Geppo.
Because of the final collision between Ye Chen and the Golden Lion, all the islands lost control and plummeted from a height of thousands of meters. Some pirates, who lacked the ability to stay airborne, were killed instantly, which greatly helped Tesoro and Bege.
"Take him with you, and bring him back to China."
After glancing at the Golden Lion, Ye Chen took to the air and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"I should thank you!"
Enel flashed to Golden Lion's side, carrying the nearly dead Golden Lion in one hand. These words came from the bottom of his heart.
If Golden Lion hadn't exerted that final pressure on him, perhaps his Conqueror's Haki wouldn't have met the conditions to Awakening.
Upon hearing Enel's words, Golden Lion coughed up blood, his face growing increasingly pale.
With a cold laugh, Enel transformed into lightning and vanished into the distance, leaving Tesoro and Bege staring at each other.
Seriously? They're making the two of them go back using Geppo?
Fortunately, Enel didn't forget the two of them, and turned back to take them with him.
In the Imperial Palace City of the God's Island, Ye Chen landed in the back garden, looking slightly disheveled. He planned to wash up first, as he didn't want Sakura to see him like this.
Therefore, Observation Haki to look down, Kalifa, who was handling state affairs in the main hall of the palace, heard Ye Chen's voice.
"After Enel returned, he was told to take the Golden Lion to Caesar's research lab."
"Yes!"
Kalifa showed no surprise at hearing Ye Chen's voice in her ear, clearly already quite used to it.
"Is it the boss?" Reiju, who was standing nearby, saw Kalifa speaking to the empty hall and immediately realized what was going on.
"Hmm, Boss's Observation Haki is getting stronger and stronger; he can even do something like Voice Transmission." Kalifa nodded, somewhat envious.
Everyone was aware of Ye Chen's Observation Haki ability, having experienced it quite a bit over the past two years.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen changed his clothes and walked into Caesar's underground research room.
"Boss, I never expected you to actually catch the Golden Lion!"
As soon as he entered the research lab, Caesar rushed over, his face full of excitement. Just a few tens of minutes earlier, he had been conducting research when Enel burst in, covered in blood, and dumped the half-dead Golden Lion on the ground.
This was the legendary Golden Lion, which vanished immediately afterward, leaving even Caesar stunned.
You see, the Golden Lion is what they've been searching for all along—to be precise, the Float-Float Fruit of the Golden Lion, because this fruit is crucial to the nation's development.
"Take it away!"
Without further ado, Ye Chen gave Caesar his orders.
"Boss, I've made arrangements, but the success rate of stripping Devil Fruit is only 50%, so we might fail."
Somewhat nervous, Caesar and Ye Chen stood outside the glass window, looking at the sealed Seastone box covered with a black cloth. Inside was the dying Golden Lion, along with various fruits. The Golden Lion's face was a dark purple, clearly indicating that it had been injected with a deadly poison.
"It's a 50/50 chance, it's all a gamble. If it fails, I'll just kill the host of the Float-Float Fruit again next time, and eventually I'll succeed!"
With an indifferent expression, Ye Chen's face showed no change.
Caesar, on the other hand, was extremely nervous.
Finally, after anxiously waiting for a few minutes, when the time was almost up, Caesar was the first to enter the closed research room.
Eagerly, he called over several scientists, lifted the black cloth, opened the sealed Seastone box, and searched inside for fruits with special patterns.
"BBS, we succeeded!"
Suddenly, Caesar looked up at Ye Chen outside the glass wall and became excited.
Unnaturally, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth also curved slightly into a smile.
This time I was lucky; with a 50% success rate, I succeeded.
The next day, a large crowd gathered in the main hall of the palace.
Sitting on the throne, Ye Chen had a Devil Fruit with strange patterns on his desk.
"I'm sure you all know what kind of Devil Fruit this is. Who wants to eat it!"
Looking at everyone below, he asked the question aloud!
"Cut!"
Covered in bandages, Enel sat in a chair with his legs crossed, glanced at the Float-Float Fruit, snorted coldly, and looked down on it from the bottom of his heart.
Not only Enel, but others who had already eaten Devil Fruit also showed little interest.
Most importantly, some of those who hadn't eaten Devil Fruit weren't particularly interested either.
Currently, many members of the team haven't eaten Devil Fruit, such as Judge, Ichi, Niji, Yonji, Reiju, Kalifa, and Kaku. However, due to the intelligence system, Kaku and the others are currently abroad and not in the country.
Therefore, everyone looked at these people.
"Don't look at me, I've already chosen my Devil Fruit." At first, Ichi shrugged; he wasn't particularly interested in the Float-Float Fruit.
"Oh ho, this is the legendary Golden Lion's ability, and you're still complaining?"
With his arms crossed, Enel looked at Ichi with some surprise.
"I really like fire, and I heard that the Flame-Flame Fruit has recently appeared on the high seas. I want to get it!"
Ichi's battle suit has always been fire-based, hence his special fondness for fire.
"I think the Glint-Glint Fruit is pretty good!" Niji was also very interested in speed because of the electric shock from his Raid Suit. If Enel weren't one of his own, he might have already set his sights on him.
"I haven't made a choice yet, but I'm not interested in this Devil Fruit!"
Even Yonji, in the end, refused.
To be honest, all three of them were somewhat arrogant. The Flame-Flame Fruit? The Glint-Glint Fruit? The Float-Float Fruit? Which one wasn't top-tier? And now, there were two owners of these fruits; weren't they all renowned and powerful figures?
It was obvious that all three of them refused the Float-Float Fruit.
Now, everyone's attention turned to Reiju and Kalifa.
"I prefer Devil Fruit related to poison!"
Reiju brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and voiced her thoughts, "Of course, if it makes me even prettier, I wouldn't mind choosing another Devil Fruit!"
Now, only Kalifa remained.
"Okay! I don't care."
Seeing that everyone else had refused, Kalifa calmly declined, thinking it would be impolite to refuse.
"Then you should eat it! Get familiar with the ability as soon as possible and develop it. Let Reiju, Gan Fall, and the others handle the workload."
"Yes!"
