Chapter 16 Devil Fruit

Kuro looked at the devil fruit in the moonlight.

It should be an animal-related tiger fruit because it has tiger stripes on it, but why is it white?

Could it be a mythical beast?

Thinking of this possibility, Kuro's pupils contracted and his throat tightened.

Is that true? Could it be that God saw that I didn't have a golden finger and gave it to me?

Kuro squatted here alone, stunned for a long time, until he heard Ryan's voice.

"Captain, hey! Where are you? Did you fall asleep after drinking too much? Captain!"

When Kuro left, he told Ryan that he was going to release the water.

Then he disappeared.

An hour had already passed and everyone had started packing up and preparing to go back to the boat to sleep.

When the captain hadn't returned yet, Ryan came looking for him.

"Hello, Captain! Are you around?"

Ryan shouted as he walked.

Hearing Ryan's voice, Kuro came back to his senses and looked at the devil fruit in his hand.

I made up my mind and decided to gamble on whether it was a mythical beast.

It is better to develop the strength of his subordinates. After all, there really is a mythical beast species waiting for him.

"Hey! Captain! Do you hear me?"

"I'm here! Ryan, are you alone?"

Kuro stood up and put the devil fruit into his clothes, then waved and called Ryan.

Hearing the captain's voice, Ryan hurried over.

"Captain, you are here. I thought you were asleep there. You didn't answer me no matter how I called you."

Ryan started complaining as soon as they met.

"Hahaha, of course not! Asshole"

"I released a valuable treasure this time."

Kuro said quickly

"Baby? Captain, how much alcohol have you drunk? You're talking nonsense!"

When Ryan heard the captain talk about having a baby, he thought the captain was drinking too much and talking nonsense.

"Hahaha, let's go, let me show you what a real treasure is when we get on the boat!"

Seeing that Ryan didn't believe it, Kuro didn't say anything, but just took Ryan to the boat.

"Ah, everyone, I'm back!"

When we returned to the party, the bonfire was almost burning out.

Everyone was on the boat waiting for the captain to come back.

Kuro hurriedly greeted him when he came back.

"Hey Captain, you must have drunk too much and passed out on the side of the road!"

"Hey, Captain, if you can't drink, don't be so stubborn next time!

"Hahaha"

After seeing Kuro and Ryan coming back, everyone on the ship started to mock the captain.

"You bastards, shut up! The reason I came back late this time is because I got a treasure!"

Kuro was showing off, with it written all over his face, "Want to know what it is? Ask me!"

However, the crew didn't even ask, and just looked at Kuro with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Hey! What's with that expression on your face?"

Kuro looked at it and wanted to bite someone. What the hell! If you don't believe me, I found a treasure!

"Hey, bastard, I really found a treasure!"

"Yes, yes, Captain, as long as you are happy x20"

A group of people perfunctorily

"..."

Kuro was speechless and had decided not to take out the devil fruit!

They don't deserve to see this!

Then he got on the boat with Ryan and walked into the cabin angrily.

A group of crew members behind him laughed loudly.

"Humph, wait till you regret it later! What a bunch of shortsighted bastards!"

After returning to the captain's room, Kuro took out the White Tiger Fruit, looked at it for a while, and decided to put it away.

Put it in the corner of your closet and cover it with some clothes you don't wear.

Lying in bed, Kuro thought of Rogue Town and thought of Smoker the Chainsmoker.

This guy was stationed in Rogue Town and captured many pirates with his natural abilities.

After arriving in Rogue Town, I went to the weapon shop first and bought the Wakizashi to use as a makeshift weapon. I would also like to get a supreme sword when I have the chance in the future.

The next step is to pass the Upside-Down Mountain and then head to the Grand Line.

If the smoker dares to stop me, I'm sorry.

I'll teach him a lesson and let him know what armed color domineering is!

But then again, he is a marine from the Marine Headquarters, but he doesn't even know how to use Armament Haki.

Crow seriously suspected that all this was a false concession by the navy for the sake of the young master being able to go to sea.

As he was thinking, Kuro's nose started to bubble and he fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Kuro got up and walked out, doing a set of stretching exercises to stretch his body.

So I started today's morning exercise.

First, do weightlifting squats, 10,000 times.

Then lift the dumbbells and swing them like a sword, 10,000 times.

Then have a tutorial session with Ryan.

It's called guidance, but in fact it's just a one-sided beating. As I mentioned before, it's to teach Ryan how to see the world.

A Da and A Er first threw stones at Ryan every day when he closed his eyes, forcing him to use his senses to dodge.

After a while, Ryan was able to dodge most of the rocks, and Kuro took over.

Once the armed color is turned on, Cool is the hammer.

At the beginning, Ryan was beaten so hard that he gained two kilograms every day.

His face is bruised every day.

But later in the hammering process, I discovered that this guy had mastered the art of Armament Haki.

Although it is not possible to harden the muscles, the muscles all over the body are much harder than before.

This made Ryan very happy.

Although being beaten was painful, his strength increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

This made Ryan feel both painful and happy.

So every morning after Kuro finished his training, he would be beaten up.

"Captain, can you be gentler today? I vomited blood yesterday."

Ryan said fearfully as he looked at Kuro, whose fists were pitch black.

"Ryan, believe me, good medicine tastes bitter, but it works! The reason you vomited blood is because the hammering was effective. It cleared up the blood clots in your body."

Kuro analyzed the situation for Ryan with the expression of an old doctor treating a serious illness.

"Really? Captain! No wonder I feel like I'm getting better and better lately."

"Hahaha, you believe this! Of course it's fake! You were simply injured by me."

Looking at the excited Ryan, Kuro directly poured a bucket of cold water on him and mocked him at the same time.

It was because he didn't believe that he had picked up a treasure yesterday.

Originally, I wanted to give this fruit to him.

Ryan, who is a powerful person, can be said to be even more powerful after taking the Animal-type Fruit.

Not to mention, this could be a mythical beast, which would be enough to completely transform Ryan.

But when he thought about how no one believed him last night, Kuro got angry.

Let it go for now, and give it to Ryan after he masters the Armament Haki.

But today, hey, double the training!

Kuro used Flash directly and punched Ryan in the stomach.

Ryan's eyes were about to pop out.

He groaned and was about to faint, so Kuro immediately waved his fists.

"Six-cylinder engine, start at full power!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The minions around were all terrified. What happened to the captain?

Why is the captain so violent today? There's even an afterimage from his punch.

Ryan was on the verge of dizziness or not.

I was about to faint from the pain in the last second, but was woken up the next second.

In the end, when Kuro stopped, Ryan was foaming at the mouth.

"Huh, it's really comfortable to move around."

Master Ku, who had been busy for half a day, picked up the towel beside him and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Hey, Ada, go find a bucket of cold water to pour on him to wake him up."

Ah Da and Ah Er next to them turned around and went to look for water.

A little while later, they came back with a bucket and poured the water all over Ryan's face.

"Hmm~ Am I in heaven?"

Ryan opened his eyes and sat up.

"No, this is hell!"
