Chapter 649 Lily (Lingling)'s Gift

"You must be Garrett, long time no see. You have grown into a big girl."

The banquet was still going on. Lily walked up to Garrett with a wine glass, looked at Garrett and said, in Lily’s memory, Garrett was still a child at that time. She hadn’t been to Ghost Island for a long time. The last time she went I didn’t see it when we were at Cake Island, so for Lily, Garrett suddenly turned from a child to a big girl.

"Long time no see, Aunt Lily."

Garrett saluted politely. Lily had always been a very friendly person in her impression, which led to Garrett having a good impression of Lily and naturally speaking politely.

"I heard Lingling told you about you. Come with me. Lingling is too harsh on the children. Come with me."

Lily touched Garrett's head and carried her towards Skull Rock.

"Um, what's the matter? Aunt Lily?"

Lily's strength was naturally not comparable to that of Garrett. Even though Lily didn't exert any force, she was still carried forward by Lily, but she still wanted to ask.

"Don't ask so many questions. Just follow me. It will be good for you."

Lily didn't say much, then she picked up Garrett and walked away with a long stride. The height difference between the two was really quite big, so Lily walked as slowly as possible, but Garrett still had to trot all the way. Lily looked at It was really uncomfortable to look at Garrett, so he just picked her up and walked away.

"Bucky! Bucky! Sister Garrett has been taken away!"

Not far away, Uta, who was sipping adzuki bean rice cake soup, looked up and happened to see Lily picking up Garrett, and immediately tugged at Bucky's trouser legs anxiously.

"What? Oh, Mrs. Lily, it's okay. Uta, Mrs. Lily knows your sister Garrett. She must have been taken away because of something. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Bucky was a little worried at first, because he promised Katakuri to take good care of Garrett, and if he got hurt just after leaving home, he wouldn't be able to explain it, but then he remembered that this was On Ghost Island, it was the territory of all beasts. Then he followed Uta's fingers and saw Lily holding Garrett, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it really okay?"

Uta is still a little worried. In fact, she is quite afraid of Kaido and Lily because they have horns on their heads, just like the ghosts in the cartoon books she reads.

"Hahahahaha, don't worry, it's definitely fine. If you're worried, can I take you to have a look?"

Bucky leaned down and touched Uta's little head and said.

"May I?"

Uta was a little worried again at this moment, but this time he was afraid of trouble Bucky.

"Hahahaha, it's okay, hey! Shanks! I'll take Uta away for a while!"

Bucky burst out laughing when he saw Uta's appearance. This kid is sometimes too obedient, and it's a bit scary to be obedient. Even if he and Shanks meet Uta's requirements as much as possible, Uta also tries his best. They would not bother them, and it was this attitude that made Shanks and Bucky try their best to meet Uta's requirements. Of course, desserts were not an option, as neither of them was a cook.

"Oh! Go! I'm fine here! Hahahaha! This wine is great! Thank you! Mr. Kaido!"

Shanks was drinking like crazy at this moment, pouring a large glass of wine into his mouth, and even arrogantly started drinking with Kaido, but looking at Kaido now, his face is only slightly red, and Shank Judging from the fact that Shanks has started to talk a lot, Shanks has overestimated his drinking capacity.

"Ah, it's true. I didn't dare to drink more just because I was afraid of this happening, you bastard Shanks."

Bucky looked at Shanks leading everyone in the red-haired pirate group except Benchina to have a drink with Kaido, and couldn't help but raise his forehead and shake his head.

"Forget it, leave them alone, let's go Uta!"

Bucky picked up Uta and headed towards the direction Lily and Garrett left.

At this time, Lily and Garrett had entered the main hall. They sat down on the soft couch, and Lily took out a box from behind.

"Open it and take a look. It's for you."

Lily said after handing the box to Garrett.

"Thank you Aunt Lily."

Garrett took it obediently, and then opened it without paying too much attention. However, after just opening it and taking a look, she immediately closed it and handed it to Lily again.

"This is too expensive, I can't have it!"

The thing in the box was a Devil Fruit. Lily's sudden move frightened Garrett. The cheapest Devil Fruit cost hundreds of millions. With her current ability, there was no way she could get so much money. It wasn't the Devil Fruit given to me by my aunt when I was in Ten Thousand Kingdoms. It was given by one of my own people. There was no need to talk about money. But after all, Lily belonged to the Hundred Beasts. Even if the Hundred Beasts were close to Ten Thousand Kingdoms, they were still outsiders. What's more, she had left Ten Thousand Kingdoms now. , joined the red-haired pirates, let alone accept something as valuable as Lily.

"Keep it, Lingling asked me to give it to you."

Lily forcefully pushed the box to Garrett. With Garrett's little strength, it was nothing in front of Lily, and it was stuffed directly back into her arms. Garrett was stunned by Lily's words.

"Mom? I asked you to give it to me?"

Garrett stuttered and looked at Lily. She never thought that this was given to her by her aunt through Lily's hand.

"Yes, I was originally planning to trade with Lingling, but Lingling called me to tell me about you. When we finally discussed the fruit, Lingling said that this was for you. Although you paid the price for your own trouble, she is your mother after all. She can't help you when you are away from home, but at least she can give you some self-protection skills. So this devil fruit is given to you, which is also the last bit of help Lingling gives you."

Lily nodded and said, this time it was not Lily who falsely conveyed the imperial decree, but Big Mom herself said that this fruit would be given to Garette. The superhuman butter fruit, Big Mom's favorite food devil fruit, was chosen to be given to Garette amid Big Mom's snot and tears.

"This is what my mother gave me. She still recognizes me as her daughter."

Garrett held the box in her arms, and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Although Shanks and Buggy had interpreted it before, she knew that she still had the possibility of returning to Wan Guo, but she still felt uneasy. However, now that she had this devil fruit, she was sure that Big Mom really still cared about her.

"Lingling cares about every one of her children, especially now that there are no certain influences, even more so. I don't know why she wants you to come out. Maybe it's because you did something wrong and she needs to convince others, or maybe she wants you to grow up and let you go out to experience, but one thing is certain, she absolutely has no intention of not recognizing you as her daughter, otherwise, she would not give you this devil fruit."

Lily touched Garrett's hair and gently comforted her.

"Thank you, Aunt Lily, thank you."

Garrett looked at Lily with sobs and said solemnly.

"You're welcome, eat it quickly, don't let your mother down for protecting you."

Lily nodded and reached out to open the box in Garrett's arms.

"Hmm."

Garrett reached out and took out the devil fruit from the box, tremblingly raised it to her lips, took a bite, and immediately, Garrett cried even louder.

"It's so spicy!!!"

Garrett's voice, accompanied by a burst of dry heaving, spread throughout the main hall.
