Rumble-Rumble Fruit

Although Ye Mu had been a shut-in on Earth, he was still pretty good at cooking.

After all, with no girlfriend and no desire to go out on weekends, he often entertained himself with various delicacies.

Time passed quickly. With Ye Mu's delicious cooking and the help of the various tools Enel carried, all kinds of ingredients were prepared nicely.

It had to be said that Enel seemed to have lived alone for a long time. The bundle he carried contained a fairly complete set of household utensils, saving Ye Mu a lot of trouble.

Although the world of One Piece and Sky Island was somewhat magical, the ingredients were still more or less the same, and the ingredients in the Sea of Clouds were also incredibly plentiful.

Ye Mu simply chose crabs, fish, and shrimp!

Naturally, the task of catching them fell to Enel.

In the end, although the food tasted rather ordinary due to the lack of seasoning, the two of them had been hungry for so long that everything tasted delicious.

After happily finishing their seafood feast, the two lay comfortably on the clouds and let out long sighs of relief.

After resting for a while, Ye Mu's strength had also recovered somewhat.

Only then did Ye Mu begin thinking about his situation.

It seems the little guy beside me really is Enel. According to the story, Enel is older than Luffy. If Enel is still a child now, then the era these pirates live in is probably around the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.

As for me, I probably transmigrated into the body of a native of this world. I'm about the same age as Enel, but judging from my clothes and that large red gemstone, the original owner was probably either wealthy or a noble.

Unfortunately, there was not a single memory of the original owner in his mind.

But it was no longer important.

With that thought, he turned to look at little Enel, who wore an equally contented expression.

He was alone now. Whether for the sake of surviving the days ahead or for eventually going down to the Blue Sea and exploring the world, he needed a good companion.

And Enel was the best choice.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Enel had not yet found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Did that mean that if he continued following Enel, he might discover it?

When that 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 his excitement.

After all, that was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which possessed the strongest attack power among the Logia fruits...

As long as he ate it, he would definitely have boundless prospects in this world...

With that thought, he made up his mind to bind himself to Enel. He absolutely could not let him leave.

So he spoke up directly.

"How is it? Is it good?"

"Hmph!"

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

But...

"I'm leaving."

This time, he really had to go. He had already delayed for a long time. If Sky Island's guards discovered him, he would be in serious trouble.

The people from his village should also be back by now. If they found that he was not in the village, they would definitely ask about him.

"Be careful. Find somewhere to hide. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if the people from God's Army discover you."

As he spoke, Enel thought for a moment. A trace of struggle flashed across his face, but in the end, he threw down one of the bundles in his hands and said to Ye Mu,

"I only have this one fruit left. I was planning to eat it myself, but I'm giving it to you now."

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

At that moment, as Ye Mu watched Enel leave, he could not say a single word to stop him, because his eyes had been fixed on the corner of the fruit exposed from the bundle Enel had thrown down.

Those mysterious spiral patterns, those lightning-like markings.

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

This was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!!!

"Hey, Enel, wait..."

The moment Ye Mu spoke, he felt an overwhelming urge to slap himself twice.

Enel's step halted because of Ye Mu's words. He then turned around and looked at Ye Mu strangely.

Ye Mu was in an incredibly conflicted state. His mind was engaged in a constant struggle.

If one asked what had left the greatest impression on all the One Piece fans about God Enel, it was probably not his arrogance, nor his dead-fish eyes, nor his ship made of gold, and certainly not his grand ambition to fly to the moon.

It was the Devil Fruit ability he possessed—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

As a treasure of the sea, a Devil Fruit granted those who ate it extraordinary abilities. However, the price was that the sea would loathe them for the rest of their lives, leaving them unable to swim.

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

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

After all, among the world's strongest, the three Marine admirals, Crocodile of the Shichibukai, and Luffy's father, Dragon, were all Devil Fruit users with Logia abilities.

The power they displayed undoubtedly demonstrated the might of Logia Devil Fruits.

Although the strength of a Devil Fruit ability mainly depended on how its user developed it—as the saying went, there were no weakest Devil Fruits, only weakest Devil Fruit users—a powerful Devil Fruit ability could undoubtedly save someone from taking many detours on the path to becoming a strong fighter.

Now, such an opportunity had been placed right in front of Ye Mu.

For some reason, he was absolutely certain that the Devil Fruit Enel had thrown to him was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, reputed to be the strongest Devil Fruit among the Logia.

He really wanted to eat it right away...

However, the education he had received since childhood caused a faint unease in his conscience.

At that moment, an intense battle began in Ye Mu's heart.

As long as he ate this Devil Fruit, he would no longer have to worry about survival. He would even leap from an ordinary person to someone with the potential to become a ruler of this world.

But when he thought about how Enel had discovered it first—although it was obvious that Enel did not know this fruit was a Devil Fruit or understand its value—and remembered how Enel, despite hesitating, had still left his food for him, Ye Mu suddenly began to waver.

If Enel discovers later that the strength I possess came from the Devil Fruit he gave me back then, how guilty will I feel?

This would probably become a disgrace and scar that Ye Mu could never erase from his heart.

Would someone like that still be qualified to become the king of this world!?

Two different thoughts struggled within Ye Mu's heart. Should he eat it or not...?

It had to be said that the education Ye Mu had received for many years under the red flag had left him somewhat naive. It had allowed him to retain a heart that repaid kindness.

In the end, Ye Mu gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to swallow the fruit immediately. He asked Enel,

"Um, where did you find this fruit?"
