Chapter 1608 Devil Fruit Stripper (3)

"Ok!"

Walker answered without hesitation, then turned and walked towards the laboratory.

After entering the laboratory, Walker first greeted his teacher, César Courant.

That’s right, Caesar Courant was not only Tesla’s teacher, but also Walker’s teacher, and he was also an authority in the scientific community of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

In the scientific community of this country, almost all young scientists respectfully call him teacher.

César Courant is well-known for his outstanding scientific research ability and careful teaching of students.

He often selects students with outstanding scientific research talents for guidance to help them achieve greater achievements in the field of science.

It can be said that Caesar Courant enjoys a very high reputation in the scientific community of the Rockefeller Kingdom. Even the world government is quite wary of him and regards him as a thorn in their side.

Before the bounty on the Rockefeller Kingdom was revoked, Caesar Courant's bounty was second only to Tesla's, and the rule was that he could only be captured alive, which shows how important and dangerous he was.

Walker took a deep breath and slowly lay down in the experimental cabin. The door slowly closed behind him with a slight "click" sound.

Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour seemed particularly long.

Finally, the hatch opened again, making a slight "buzzing" sound.

Walker's face was as pale as paper. He sat up with difficulty, his body shaking a little, as if he had just experienced a severe storm.

He walked down slowly from the experimental cabin, and each step seemed a little difficult.

When he saw Caesar Courant's worried look, he tried to force a smile, trying to reassure him.

"I'm fine!"

His voice was a little weak, but he tried to make his tone sound more relaxed.

After saying that, Walker didn't stay for long and walked straight to the observation room.

There, his father was waiting for him, holding a mushroom fruit in his hand.

This fruit emits a faint glow and looks very tempting.

Walker took the mushroom fruit, but did not eat it as eagerly as the others.

He held the fruit carefully in his hands, as if it were a precious treasure.

He decided to go with Sarah and the others to feel the sea first.

After all, the last time they swam in the ocean was when they were five or six years old.

At that time, they were innocent and full of curiosity and desire to explore the world.

Now, they have all grown up and experienced many things, but their yearning for the sea remains the same.

Charlotte glanced at the people around him, then asked, "Are there any others who want to peel off their devil fruits?"

His voice echoed in the quiet observation room, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, Charlotte's gaze focused on the faces of Esdeath, Eve and others, as if waiting for their responses.

However, there was only silence in response to him, and no one spoke.

Seeing this, Charlotte spoke again, and this time his eyes fell directly on Esdeath.

"Esdeath, do you want to exchange the Leng Leng Fruit for the Piao Piao Fruit?"

His tone was gentle, and it seemed like just a simple suggestion.

Esdeath heard this and shook her head without hesitation. Her eyes were firm and confident. "The Cold Fruit suits me very well!"

Her voice was clear and powerful, without any hesitation or delay.

Charlotte nodded upon seeing this.

His eyes then fell on Eve.

Eve has now become a plant master and is familiar with the cultivation techniques of various vegetation.

Although she has not made much achievements in combat over the years, she is well-known for her research and cultivation of vegetation.

In particular, her achievements in food cultivation are even more remarkable.

Over the years, through continuous experimentation and improvement, Eve has successfully doubled the yield of various types of grain at harvest, and even tripled or quadrupled it.

This achievement enabled the people of the New World to finally fill their stomachs, barely eliminated the threat of hunger, and brought their living standards up to the point of subsistence.

Eve's actions were undoubtedly a timely help to the people living under the rule of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

The people were full of gratitude towards her and even revered her as a goddess.

The food cultivated by Eve not only solved the problem of food and clothing for the people, but also brought tremendous changes to the entire new world.

On this vast ocean, although the profession of pirate seems to be glamorous, in fact, most pirates are ordinary people with nowhere else to go.

Due to the pressure of life and lack of food to fill their stomachs, they were eventually forced to become pirates. They were gathered together by a group of ambitious people and lived a wandering life.

However, the number of pirates in the New World has begun to decrease sharply.

This was not due to the efforts of Esdeath and the others, but because the lessons learned from the navy had made the world understand a fact - pirates can never be completely eliminated.

In fact, the real way to solve the pirate problem has never been to rely on force, but to satisfy the people's stomachs.

When people can fill their stomachs and live a stable life, who would be willing to put their heads on their belts and venture into the dangerous sea?

Although the pirates seem to be very free in the world of One Piece, that is only from the protagonist's perspective.

In fact, going out to sea is an extremely dangerous thing for most people.

In the vast ocean, everyone who goes out to sea faces a mortality rate as high as 80%.

This means that out of a hundred people who go out to sea, only twenty can have a good ending in the end.

Not to mention those vicious pirates on the sea. The harsh weather conditions at sea alone are enough to kill people.

Therefore, in this era, going out to sea is equivalent to committing suicide.

Unless they have no other options, people will never risk their lives to go into the sea.

After all, although it is easy to go out to the sea, it is almost impossible to come back safely.

Whether it is the navy galloping across the ocean, the pirates dominating one side, or the merchants running around, when they set foot on this vast blue ocean, they will always face various threats.

These threats may come from the huge sea kings hidden beneath the sea, their fangs and claws bared, which are terrifying; they may also come from fierce battles that suddenly break out on the sea, with continuous artillery fire and thick smoke; they may even come from the unpredictable and treacherous weather, with strong winds, rainstorms, and huge waves, which can kill people in the sea in an instant.

However, in such a crisis-filled world, there is a person who has changed the fate of many people in her unique way - she is Eve.
