Chapter 608 Brothers complain

At this time, Ziger was drinking tea with Shanks. On the coffee table in front of him was a sky blue devil fruit, which was the Phoenix Fruit.

Shanks was explaining the power of the Phoenix Fruit to Makino who was standing beside him. Makino was stunned. When Shanks finished, she quickly waved her hands and said,

"It's such a waste to give me such a precious thing. Brother, you should take it back!"

Jiger sighed helplessly after hearing this. He put down the teacup in his hand and said,

"Why are you just like Kalifa, wasting everything? Shanks, you need to spend more time to let Makino understand the current strength of our family. It's just a mythical beast."

Shanks' mouth twitched and said,

"A mere mythical beast... Big Brother, even here, a mythical beast is considered a treasure. I heard from father that back in the Valley of the Gods, this fruit was even offered as a reward."

"Well, come to think of it, I really don't know how Whitebeard got this fruit back then. Okay, Makino, just keep this fruit. You two, a dragon and a phoenix, are quite a match."

Shanks directly picked up the Phoenix Fruit on the table and stuffed it into Makino's arms, smiling.

"Yeah, just accept what Big Brother gives you. Then you can take our little Sosia and fly around every day!"

Makino covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard this.

"This saves you a lot of trouble. What's the matter? Are you starting to feel tired of taking care of the baby?"

Shanks immediately widened his eyes and raised one hand.

"How could that be? I love playing with my daughter the most!"

Seeing that Makino still had a skeptical expression, Shanks knew that he should not get too entangled with women, so he immediately changed the topic to Zig and said,

"By the way, big brother, you haven't told me in detail about your experience in the Valley of the Gods. Tell me about it."

Jiger rolled his eyes and said casually,

"There's nothing much to say. I can only say that I risked my life for a devil fruit. If it weren't for Uncle Garin, I would have been crushed to death by that Charlotte Linlin."

Recalling his first experience in the Valley of Gods, Jiger's mouth curled up. For him, that was probably the most thrilling experience in his life, but when he thought about it now, he inexplicably felt a little nostalgic.

Shanks's expression suddenly turned depressed, and he said,

"What an exciting adventure! I should have still been locked in a small box back then. What a pity! If I were older, I would have definitely had a go at it with my big brother. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

Zig glanced at Shanks with disdain and said,

"That's why I brought a burden like you with me."

Shanks chuckled and said,

"You're saying one thing and thinking another. You're definitely going to take me with you. Let me think about it. With our combined abilities, we can definitely get more Devil Fruits and evacuate safely. Then, together... uh, join the navy?"

Jiger crossed his arms and said indifferently,

"Given your restless personality, I seriously suspect you'll quit the navy halfway through and become a street urchin."

"Hey, hey, hey, big brother, what is a sea street drifter? Am I that bad?!"

"Tsk! This is still good. If it were mixed with dragons, it would be really exciting."

"How could I possibly get involved with someone like Long? He's created a weird revolutionary army that's nothing special. Aside from messing with a few obscure countries, he's never done anything significant. And yet he's been given the title of the world's most vicious. It's completely out of character."

"Well, let's talk about Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin. Back in the Valley of the Gods, they could still be considered heroes, but later on, they just started playing house..."

"Yes, yes! Big brother, I always think your evaluation of playing house is so right..."

Makino sat quietly aside, watching the two direct brothers from the most powerful family in the world complaining to each other, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jig and Shanks, who were chirping together, stopped complaining when they heard Makino's laughter. Jig coughed lightly, took a sip of the cold tea, and said,

"Shanks, let Makino eat the fruit quickly. The Devil Fruit of the mythical beast species is a bit evil, so eat it as soon as possible."

Shanks nodded in agreement, and then said to Makino who was trying to hold back his laughter,

"Makino, you heard what big brother said, right? Hurry up and eat this fruit. The devil fruit tastes disgusting. Be patient and don't vomit later."

Makino blinked and said,

"But when I saw Father eating the fruit that day, he behaved very normally!"

Hearing this, Jiger and Shanks said in unison,

"He was just pretending!"

After saying that, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Makino tilted his head and looked at the two of them, then took another look at the devil fruit in his hand. This thing really didn't look like it was edible, but it was still a fruit after all. In Makino's opinion, no matter how unpalatable it was, it was just like those rotten fruits.

Thinking of this, Makino held the Phoenix Fruit in both hands, closed her eyes and took a small bite. As soon as the flesh entered her mouth, the indescribable taste burst out instantly, and the feeling of nausea was several times stronger than when she had morning sickness.

Makino vomited instinctively. Shanks quickly covered Makino's mouth and pushed it back slightly. With a gulp, Makino finally swallowed the fruit pulp.

Her first reaction was not to feel the power of the fruit, but to pick up a teacup and gulp down the tea.

When the disgusting taste in his mouth gradually faded, Makino looked at Shanks with tears in his eyes and said,

"Father, how did she manage to eat this without showing any emotion?"

Jiger smiled and explained for Shanks,

"Of course it's face. This thing is passed down from generation to generation. Okay, just take a bite. Now let's test your ability."

Makino patted her chest gently, and after calming down, she also discovered the strange feeling in many parts of her body.

The next second, sky-blue flames emerged from Makino's body. Shanks, who was sitting next to her, did not feel the slightest bit of burning sensation, but instead felt a sense of comfort and security.

Makino looked at his body burning with blue flames in surprise. Jiger stood up with a smile and said,

"Feel this power well. I have to go out again today."

Shanks was stunned and asked hurriedly,

"Where to?"

"Moon."
