Chapter 97
At dusk, the last ray of light on the horizon is gradually swallowed up by the night.
The second half of the Grand Line, the new world.
In Scarlet’s bedroom in Dressrosa Palace, oil lamps were already lit on the walls.
Scarlet had just finished a swordsmanship instruction class. She was now blushing. The pink T-shirt she was wearing was already wet with sweat. The pink sports shorts she was wearing underneath outlined her perfect buttocks curve. Look. It tastes like a ripe peach.
The pink-haired girl opened the closet and took out a light blue dress. Her hand holding the hanger could not help but tremble slightly due to soreness and fatigue.
The teacher who gave her swordsmanship lessons was the only female swordsman in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
If not for her personal visit and pleading, and the other party also reluctantly agreed to her because she was the future heir of the kingdom, and taught her this person who had no foundation in swordsmanship.
After the last incident in the square in front of the palace and being kidnapped on a pirate ship, Scarlet deeply realized her own powerlessness and weakness.
She didn’t dare to think deeply about what would have happened to her if Sephiroth hadn’t appeared in time…
Therefore, she wants to make herself stronger!
At least, you must be able to protect yourself and not be easily caught by others…
Uh-huh!
A thin red line suddenly appeared in the room, and waves of space ripples began to fold and squeeze to both sides, forming a two-meter-five-meter-high space door.
Sephiroth, carrying a box in his hand, crossed the threshold and stepped out of the world inside the light green door.
As he sheathed the knife, the air folding door behind him quickly flattened.
In the end, it was completely closed to its original appearance, and it was completely impossible to tell that the space there had been torn apart.
“Sephiroth!”
With an expression of joy on her face, Scarlet walked a few steps quickly. She wanted to throw herself into his arms, but she remembered that she had just sweated.
So, the pink-haired girl stopped in front of him.
She really didn’t expect that the silver-haired boy would reappear in front of her so quickly…
Sephiroth seemed to understand Scarlett’s hesitation just now. A gentle smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his right hand, took the initiative to hug her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her…
“Don’t……!”
Scarlet noticed Sephiroth’s right hand on her back, gradually sliding down, and his movements became more and more restless. She quickly raised her hand, stopped the other person’s movements, and grabbed his wrist.
“I sweat a lot…let me take a shower first…”
“Wash together!”
“Hmm~!”
Click!
Violet opened the door, poked her head in, and said with a smile:
“Sister, let’s take a shower together!”
“…”×2
Sephiroth looked helpless. He sighed softly, took a half step back, and placed the pink-haired girl in his right hand.
“Go! I’ll wait for you here.”
“Oh~!”
Scarlet’s pretty face turned red, and she nodded lightly in agreement. She turned around, went to the closet to get a set of white underwear, and left the bedroom with her sister.
Sephiroth, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to sit on the couch and place the box in his hand beside him.
He picked up the teacup and teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of rose tea. While savoring the taste of the tea, he looked at the sky that was gradually falling into darkness…
About an hour later, Scarlet, wearing a long blue dress and long pink hair draped over a half-wet shawl, opened the bedroom door and walked in.
“Sorry to keep you waiting……”
“fine.”
Sephiroth smiled, he didn’t really care about such small things.
“It’s almost dinner time…
Yesterday, the queen mother also came back from a visit. How about you go and see her…? ”
The pink-haired girl padded the hem of her blue dress before sitting next to the silver-haired boy. She had just come out of the bath, her body exuded a faint floral fragrance, her skin was white and rosy, and she was really cute.
“Yeah! No problem… By the way, I want to give this to you.”
As he spoke, Sephiroth placed the suitcase beside him on the table, opened the box, and revealed a gray square fruit with spiral patterns all over it… the Stone Fruit!
“This is… a devil fruit?”
Scarlett looked surprised and opened her mouth slightly into an O shape. As a princess of a country, she naturally knew the existence and value of Devil Fruit.
Moreover, her sister Violet once accidentally ate the Staring Fruit and gained power beyond ordinary people…
“Sephiroth…are you really going to give me the valuable Devil Fruit…?”
“certainly…
…Because I don’t want you to be in danger again, so I want you to gain the strength to protect yourself.
After eating this stone fruit, you can assimilate yourself with the rock…”
The Shishi Fruit is very similar to the Gold and Gold Fruit. Under normal conditions, its power is limited, and it needs to rely on a large amount of assimilated substances or site advantages to exert its maximum power.
Logically speaking, Sephiroth directly gives Scarlet the natural snow fruit, which can instantly raise the girl’s lower limit of strength and give her a certain degree of self-protection!
However……
Xuexue’s fruit is good, but its strength in the natural system can only be regarded as mid-to-lower level, and it also has a weakness that can be restrained by fire.
In other words, in addition to armed haki, even fire attacks can hurt the user!
Armed domineering, fire attacks, in the new world, anyone with some strength will know how to use them.
On the other hand, if you eat the Stone Fruit directly, you can gain the power and properties of the rock, and the user can move freely in the stone, which can be called pseudo-elementary!
And, the most important thing is…
There are a lot of rocks in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and even the coast is surrounded by a thick layer of mushroom-shaped rocks…
Therefore, the geographical environment of this country allows the stone fruit to maximize its power!
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the Dressrosa Palace at our feet, which is made of rocks.
As long as Scarlet develops and exercises the Stone Fruit a little, she will be able to freely travel through the entire rock palace and create weapons to attack intruders, and it will be difficult for ordinary conventional weapons to hurt it!
If I wrap my domineering energy around the rock again…
never mind! This idea is a bit far-fetched, and it is obviously not practical for Scarlet now.
After listening to the introduction of this devil fruit’s abilities, the pink-haired girl couldn’t help but have a hesitant expression on her face.
She knew very well that the power of the Stone Fruit was not weak, and it could exert extraordinary effects in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
But precisely because of this, she seemed hesitant. This favor was too heavy!
“This fruit is very powerful…if it were put up for auction, the price would be at least one billion beli…
Do you really… want to hand over something so valuable to me? ”
Scarlett subconsciously emphasized it again. In her heart, she vaguely hoped that the boy would regret it, but she was also a little reluctant to give up. She also wanted to become stronger…
Hearing this, Sephiroth reached out and touched the pink-haired girl’s head. He smiled and said:
“In my opinion, giving it to you is the best choice.”
“Thanks!”
Scarlet felt sweet, and her face was filled with a happy smile. She picked up the fruit, peeled off the skin, and took a bite…
next moment.
The taste was so unpleasant that it made the pink-haired girl’s entire face turn green, and she almost vomited it out.
“Uh~!”
After Scarlet swallowed the pulp forcibly, she couldn’t help but complain:
“It tastes so bad!”
“Eat the whole fruit! I heard that this is good for the development of the fruit…”
“ah!?”
Scarlet looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand, which she had already taken a bite of, with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
However……
She finally endured the nausea and ate the whole fruit…
