Chapter 94: Kingpin, the User of the Shining Fruit

Jin Bing took a puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled a string of smoke, as if he was thinking about everything in life.

He looked at the devil fruit in his hand that was flashing with tempting light. Although this fruit was indeed very useful to him, Jin Bing still thought of Chen Ye first.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chen Ye, and said, "This fruit is so powerful, why don't you eat it yourself? I'm just a retired old man now, so I don't really need it."

There was a hint of firmness in Jin Bing's words, as if he had already made a decision.

When Chen Ye heard Jin Bing's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He didn't expect that when faced with such a tempting ability, Uncle Jin Bing would choose to refuse without hesitation and give this opportunity to himself.

He knew that this was Uncle Jin Bing's trust and care for him.

However, Chen Ye did not accept this proposal.

He shook his head and said to Kingpin seriously, "I already have enough abilities, uncle. This fruit is specially for you. With it, you can better protect Vanessa and the others."

"The enemies I may provoke in the future will only become stronger and stronger. I cannot let you get hurt."

Jin Bing looked at Chen Ye's determined eyes and was silent for a while.

He knew that Chen Ye was telling the truth and that Chen Ye would definitely encounter more powerful enemies in the future.

However, if his abilities are insufficient, he would likely become a burden to Chen Ye.

So he stopped being pretentious, picked up the devil fruit, and took a bold bite.

Chen Ye watched Uncle Jin Bing bite off the devil fruit without hesitation, and his heart was instantly filled with tension.

He knew the reputation of the devil fruit, the indescribable taste that made many people stay away.

So he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Don't eat so much, it tastes terrible."

However, Uncle Jin Bing did not seem to hear his warning and chewed the devil fruit in his mouth with an expressionless face.

He chewed it for a few times and then swallowed it, as if it was not something difficult to swallow, but just an ordinary fruit.

This surprised Chen Ye very much. He widened his eyes and wondered if he had taken the wrong fruit.

"Do you want to eat the whole thing?" Uncle Jin Bing looked at Chen Ye and asked lightly.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, then replied: "No, just take a bite."

He couldn't help but ask again: "Isn't this fruit unpalatable?"

When Uncle Jin Bing heard that he only needed to eat one bite, he put down the devil fruit in his hand.

He took a puff of his cigar, then said wistfully, "When I was a kid, I ate things a hundred times more disgusting than this just to survive. This is Hell's Kitchen."

After hearing what Uncle Jin Bing said, Chen Ye fell silent.

He understood why Uncle Kingpin could eat the devil fruit without any expression, because to him, it was nothing.

This man who lives in a place called Hell's Kitchen has eaten countless unimaginable things just to survive. In comparison, what does the taste of a devil fruit matter?

At this moment, Pietro noticed this strange fruit.

He walked over curiously, looked at Chen Ye and Uncle Jin Bing, and asked, "What kind of fruit is this? I'm seeing it for the first time."

Chen Ye and Uncle Jin Bing didn't say anything, just looked at Pietro.

Pietro looked at their expressions and felt a little strange, but he decided to try this strange fruit. So he took a bite, and then the unpalatable devil fruit made his expression distorted instantly.

Pietro quickly threw away the devil fruit in his hand, gargling while complaining: "Pah, ah, ah, what kind of fruit is this? It's too disgusting!"

Chen Ye looked at Pietro's expression, smiled and nodded. This was the normal reaction of a normal person after eating a devil fruit.

Chen Ye turned to Uncle Jin Bing and said, "Uncle, please feel your new ability."

When Uncle Jin Bing heard Chen Ye’s words, he closed his eyes silently.

A faint smile appeared on his face, as if he was expecting something.

His body began to tremble slightly, as if a powerful force was surging in his body.

Uncle Jin Bing's body slowly changed. Half of his body gradually turned into a crystal clear diamond, while the other half remained a normal person.

The diamond shone brightly under the light, attracting everyone's attention. Vanessa, Tony and others came forward and observed this strange phenomenon curiously.

"Dad, how did you turn into a diamond?" Richard asked curiously, his eyes full of admiration and pride for his father.

He felt that his father had become cooler and more powerful.

Tony and Doctor Octopus also carefully observed the diamondized Uncle Kingpin, their faces full of shock and disbelief.

Tony asked Chen Ye with a shocked look on his face: "Is this another ability of yours?" He really couldn't believe that Uncle Jin Bing, who was just an ordinary person in his investigation, actually possessed the superpower of turning into diamond.

"Could it be the unpalatable fruit just now?" Pietro asked curiously. He picked up the devil fruit thrown aside and observed it carefully.

He thought that if he took a bite he would have this ability, so he closed his eyes and began to feel it.

Chen Ye looked at everyone's surprised expressions, smiled and did not explain.

He casually took out a knife and said to Uncle Jin Bing, "Test the strength first." Then he casually slashed at Uncle Jin Bing.

With a clang, Uncle Jin Bing, who had turned into diamond, was unharmed, but the knife broke into two pieces.

Uncle Jin Bing looked at the scene with satisfaction, and then said: "I feel that bullets are useless to me now, and my strength has been enhanced after I turned into a diamond."

He felt as if he had become even stronger and indestructible, and could even crush his previous self to death with a single move.

Pietro slowly opened his eyes, a look of loss in them.

He looked at Chen Ye and asked with a hint of anticipation: "Are there any other devil fruits? I want to eat one too." There was a hint of desire and curiosity in his voice.

Tony listened to their conversation with a frown on his face.

He felt that the concept of devil fruit was beyond the scope of science, so he turned to Chen Ye and asked with a serious expression: "What is a devil fruit?" His voice revealed curiosity about the unknown and a desire to explore.

Chen Ye looked at Tony's serious face, took a deep breath, and began to explain the function and origin of the devil fruit.

He describes in detail the unique abilities of the Devil Fruit and how it grants extraordinary powers to the person who consumes it.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chen Ye's story. They couldn't imagine that there was such a magical thing in the world that could give people such powerful power.

After hearing this, Tony snatched the remaining shiny fruit from Pietro's hand. He carefully found a bag to put it in, obviously intending to take it back for research.

He is curious about the scientific principles of the Devil Fruit and hopes to unlock its secrets through research.

At this time, Chen Ye interrupted everyone's thoughts and quickly invited everyone to eat.

The family sat in the restaurant, enjoying the delicious food and the warm atmosphere.

Although they were shocked and curious about the existence of devil fruits, at this moment they would rather cherish the happy time in front of them.

At the dinner table, everyone was talking about various topics, with laughter and conversations happening one after another.

Chen Ye looked at his family's happy smiles and felt extremely satisfied.

He knows that no matter how the world changes, as long as the family is together, it is the greatest happiness.

Chen Ye suddenly thought that something seemed to be missing today.

"Damn Chen Ye, why don't you take me back?" Deadpool in the parallel universe kicked over the trash can and complained.

Middle East, Hydra secret base

Crossbones walked towards a huge freezer with steady steps.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He penetrated the transparent shell of the freezer and looked directly at the sleeping figure inside.

He waved his hand, signaling his men to carry out his orders. With a slight mechanical roar, the lid of the freezer slowly rose, revealing the person sleeping inside.

That was a man called the Winter Soldier, he lay there quietly, as if time had no effect on him.

His face was expressionless, except for a pair of deep eyes that revealed an indescribable coldness and determination. His long hair looked a little pale under the light of the freezer, like a mountain covered with ice and snow.

Crossbones walked up to the Winter Soldier, looked down at him, and said coldly, "It's time to get to work, Winter Soldier."

His voice was like an ice knife, cold and sharp.

The Winter Soldier slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze met Crossbones's, as if two sharp swords were colliding in the air.

The Winter Soldier did not speak, but silently sat up and walked out of the cryostat. His movements were slow but full of power.
