Paramecia: Chop-Chop Fruit

Paramecia: Dice-Dice Fruit

"Let's go. We'll do some looting ourselves."

Li Yuan then led his men off the ship and into the Vixga Kingdom to plunder.

The other officers of the Rocks Pirates, along with Rocks himself, all rushed toward the royal palace.

But Li Yuan did not follow Rocks. Instead, he turned toward the district where Vixga's nobles lived.

Compared to the royal palace, the nobles' wealth was often no less than the national treasury's. Sometimes, the nobles were even richer than the kingdom itself.

"Boss, why aren't we going to the royal palace? Isn't that where the most Treasure is?"

Mari asked in confusion.

"There may be more Treasure there, but can you outfight the other officers' men and the Captain's subordinates for it?"

"Rather than fight them over it, we might as well fleece the nobles."

Li Yuan said.

"Pirates, don't even think about it! This is the territory of Duke Satan, a noble of the Vixga Kingdom! Leave at once!!!"

The moment Li Yuan and his group arrived, numerous kingdom soldiers charged at them.

"Get lost!!!"

Seeing the soldiers, Li Yuan snorted coldly, not even bothering to say more. His Conqueror's Haki suddenly surged forward, blanketing the entire noble district.

Bang bang bang bang!!!!

The soldiers who had come to stop Li Yuan's group, those who had not even had time to come over, and even everyone in the noble district behind them were all knocked unconscious by Li Yuan's Conqueror's Haki.

"Go on, then. Find all the Treasure!"

Looking at the soldiers sprawled across the ground, Li Yuan smiled faintly.

Conqueror's Haki really was useful for clearing out cannon fodder. With that one burst, he had knocked out at least several thousand people.

"Charge!!!"

Kano and the others immediately rushed in excitedly to search for Treasure.

Li Yuan himself also rushed in eagerly. This was his first time personally going out to plunder Treasure, so he was naturally excited.

"Huh? Could this be that so-called Duke Satan? He actually ran out carrying so many chests."

Li Yuan spotted a group of soldiers surrounding a man dressed in aristocratic clothing as they ran toward the Vixga Royal Palace.

However, they had been knocked unconscious halfway there by Li Yuan's Conqueror's Haki.

Crack!!!

Without another word, Li Yuan walked over and opened one of the chests.

"It's all gold."

The first chest was filled entirely with gold, a considerable amount worth around 100 million Berry.

The second chest contained silver, worth roughly 30 million.

The third chest held jewelry and ornaments, worth around 50 million.

The fourth chest contained antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, of unknown value.

"Huh, a Devil Fruit!!"

When he opened the fifth chest, he found a Devil Fruit—one he had seen in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia Rocks had given him.

"Paramecia: Dice-Dice Fruit!!"

The instant he saw the Devil Fruit, Li Yuan recognized it.

It was a Paramecia Devil Fruit that could turn one's entire body into blades. It was also an exceptionally suitable Devil Fruit for a swordsman.

"In the original story, Mr. 1 of Crocodile's Baroque Works got it. I never expected it to appear here at this time."

Li Yuan put away the Devil Fruit. He had no intention of eating it himself, but it would be quite good for nurturing a subordinate.

After obtaining the Devil Fruit, Li Yuan stopped searching for Treasure. The most valuable Treasure was all on this so-called Duke Satan.

"Senior Brother, we're back from looting!!"

Kano and the other junior brothers came to Li Yuan with the Treasure they had gathered. Judging by the smiles on their faces, their haul had been quite good.

"Kano, this is a Paramecia: Dice-Dice Fruit. It can turn your entire body into blades, and with its power, you can unleash slashes like a Swordmaster. Do you want to eat it?"

Li Yuan handed the Dice-Dice Fruit to Kano.

With Kano's talent, reaching the level of a Swordmaster—or rather, reaching Rear Admiral level—was already the limit of his potential.

And to reach that level, it would take at least ten-odd years, perhaps even over twenty years.

If Kano wanted to increase his strength quickly, a Devil Fruit was one way.

Li Yuan had never doubted Kano's loyalty, which was why he wanted to improve Kano's strength. After all, he needed someone loyal to handle matters for him.

That person could be Kano or Karu, but both Kano and Karu were too weak. That was why Li Yuan wanted to raise their strength quickly.

"Senior Brother, is this really for me?"

Kano stared at the Devil Fruit in Li Yuan's hand, almost unable to believe it was meant for him.

This was a Devil Fruit, a secret treasure of the Great Sea. Every Devil Fruit was incomparably precious, let alone one that perfectly suited a swordsman. There were not many of them in the entire world.

"It's for you. Are you eating it or not? If not, I'll give it to Karu."

Li Yuan could not help but laugh at Kano's gaping expression.

"I'll eat it! Of course I'll eat it! Only an idiot wouldn't."

Hearing that, Kano hurriedly replied.

He knew all too well how vast the gap between himself and his senior brother was. Even if he worked hard for his entire life, he might never reach the level his senior brother had possessed when he first set out to sea.

Yet he had never given up. He had resolutely chosen to follow his senior brother out to sea and work for him from behind the scenes.

It was because he believed that as long as he followed his senior brother, he would surely have a good future and become a strong man himself.

He had never expected that less than half a year after going to sea, his senior brother would give him such a precious Devil Fruit, one that suited him perfectly!

Li Yuan's Observation Haki could clearly sense that Kano's goodwill toward him had grown even stronger. Aside from Shakky and Lazuli, Kano was the person he had seen with the strongest goodwill toward him.

"Here. Eat it!"

Li Yuan nodded and handed the Devil Fruit to Kano.

"Ugh!!!!"

Kano eagerly bit into the Devil Fruit, but after just one bite, the taste—like he had eaten shit—made him nearly throw up his breakfast.

"Don't spit it out. You have to eat the entire Devil Fruit, or the power you gain from it will be weakened."

Seeing Kano's green face, Li Yuan thought of something amusing and immediately began making it up.

"I'll eat it!!!"

Kano's face turned even greener at Li Yuan's words.

But for the sake of his future, and to avoid wasting the Devil Fruit, he endured the urge to vomit and swallowed the entire Devil Fruit.

"Ugh!!!"

After finally finishing the Devil Fruit, Kano had vomited so badly that he could barely stand.

During the new book period, it is very important for readers to keep up with the latest chapter every day. That is how Qidian's system works. I hope everyone will not stockpile chapters. Even if you do not read every day, please at least open the latest chapter and flip through it.

Once this book goes premium, there will be massive updates—at least 6,000 characters a day, and as many as 10,000 on some days. This is my promise to the readers. I hope for everyone's support.
