Chapter 1540 The Blind Guy

"Really?" Ryan looked up and looked at Enel in disbelief, his expression like a child who suddenly got the toy he had always dreamed of.

"You've made... secret progress. Where did you get it from?" Ryan said as he circled around Enel, his eyes never leaving the frozen fruit.

A smug expression appeared on Enel's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if announcing his prowess to the world. "It was brought to me by someone else."

"A gift? Are you kidding?" When Ryan heard this, his eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief. His exaggerated expression was as if he was looking at a boastful liar.

"It's really a gift." Enel crossed his arms and said seriously, as if to prove that what he said was true.

"What's wrong? Have you found your long-lost father? Actually, you are not an orphan from Sky Island, your father is a Celestial Dragon." Ryan's mind turned, and he suddenly said such a teasing remark, and he couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.

"Bang!" Before Ryan's laughter died down, Enel rushed out like lightning and punched Ryan in the face. Ryan was blown away like a cannonball, falling heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"I really can't bear not to hit you." Enel shook off the exploding lightning in his hand, and the lightning was like blooming fireworks, emitting dazzling light.

The well-shaped pattern on his forehead kept jumping, as if telling of his anger at the moment.

Ryan did a graceful somersault in the air, intending to show off his agility, but he didn't do it right, and he fell straight and steadily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust.

But this guy was very thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He just sat cross-legged on the ground and joked to himself, "I'll sit where I fell." He looked like a heartless optimist.

"Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly attacking me?" Ryan raised his arms and shouted at Enel with a look of protest on his face, his voice filled with a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Enel glared and wanted to take action again. Dangerous arcs of electricity flashed on his body, as if he was going to electrocute Ryan to a crisp in the next second.

At this moment, Kuro suddenly stood up, blocking the two of them like a mountain, and stopped them loudly: "You can hit me, but don't break my devil fruit. It's quite expensive." As he said that, he reached out and took the ice fruit from Enel's hand, holding it carefully in his hand, as if holding a priceless treasure.

Then, with a wave of his hand, as casually as if he were shooing away a fly, he said, "Go ahead and hit him. Just don't kill him."

Ryan was stunned, his eyes as big as copper bells, his mouth wide open enough for an egg to fit in, and he shouted at Kuro, "Captain!" His voice was full of disbelief and a cry for help.

Kuro didn't even turn his head, as if he hadn't heard Ryan's cry. Seeing this, Enel rushed over with a fierce grin, like a wolf spotting its prey. The two of them disappeared into the hall in an instant, leaving behind only the whistling wind and the faint sounds of fighting.

Kuro didn't even look at them. In his opinion, these two people should fight whenever they wanted. Since they hadn't fought yet today, it was a good opportunity for them to vent their anger. All his attention was focused on the frozen fruit in his hand.

"God is on my side." Kuro held up the Ice Fruit, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had already seen the huge changes this fruit had brought to the pirate group. He began to think about who to give this fruit to.

"Hmm..." Kuro frowned, lost in thought. He visualized the pirate group members one by one, considering each one's abilities and characteristics.

"It seems that no one is short of fruit..." Kuro pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized that he really didn't know who to give this fruit to.

The members of the pirate group either already have a devil fruit that suits them or are not interested in devil fruits.

He first thought of Zangao.

But Zangao is mainly responsible for intelligence and interrogation work, and fighting is not his strong point.

Giving him the frozen fruit doesn't seem to have much effect.

Then, the image of Monet appeared in Kuro's mind.

But she had already eaten the Snow-Snow Fruit, and if she ate the Ice Fruit again she would die.

Kuro thought about the other members of the pirate group again, but still couldn't find a particularly suitable candidate.

He looked at the frozen fruit in his hand and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

This precious fruit is like a hot potato, and I don’t know who to give it to so that it can maximize its value.

"Should I keep it for myself?" A thought flashed through Kuro's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

If he eats another devil fruit, he will probably die.

Moreover, his own fighting method and style are complete, and his current abilities are sufficient to deal with various situations.

Even if he eats another one, his strength won't improve much.

Moreover, although this ice fruit is powerful, it may not be suitable for him.

Just as Kuro was lost in thought, a sudden commotion erupted from outside the hall. Then, a crew member rushed in, shouting, "Captain, this is bad! A group of unidentified individuals are attacking our camp!"

Kuro's eyes flashed like a sharp blade in the cold night. He instantly put away the frozen fruit in his hand that exuded a mysterious aura and said decisively, "Let's go and take a look." Before he finished speaking, he rushed out like lightning, bringing up a gust of wind. Wherever he passed, the dust flew slightly.

At the same time, on the shore of the island, Xiliu and Mori were standing side by side, their eyes fixed on the warship slowly approaching on the sea in the distance.

Xiliu held the extremely sharp Thunder Blade in his hand, the blade flashing a cold light in the sunlight. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Interesting, it's the army's flag."

Mori frowned, his sturdy body like a small mountain. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why did they suddenly come here? Have we been discovered?"

His voice was low and deep, like thunder coming from deep underground.

Xiliu shook his head slightly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, and said, "But sending only one ship is too stingy. Those guys in the army have always been stingy. I guess they think that one ship can take us down."

At this moment, Kuro rushed to the shore like a gust of wind, followed by a group of pirate members, all with serious expressions, as if facing a great enemy.

Kuro glanced at the warships in the distance, then turned to Shiliu and Mori and said, "What's the situation?"

Xiliu pointed at the warship and said, "Captain, it's an army warship, but I don't know how many people are on it or what kind of equipment it has."
