Ryuen shouted before he even reached the shore, then sprinted onto the land.
"I thought you'd be back after dark! By the way, Ryuen, did the Vegetable Pirates leave at night?" Nami asked sweetly. She had a good impression of the Vegetable Pirates since they gave them a Devil Fruit. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
"Yeah, they're gone. Not even ashes left." Ryuen said frankly.
"Huh? What happened?"
"What? Did the Vegetable Pirates break their promise?" Nami and Nojiko asked together, with Kuina and Daisy also looking curious.
After spending so much time with Ryuen, they understood what he meant.
"Well... I was wrong about them this time..." Ryuen then told them everything about wiping out the Vegetable Pirates.
"Damn, we really can't trust them!" Nami was angry. She had just thought the Vegetable Pirates were good people, but they turned out to be bad so quickly.
"Next time we meet pirates, we'll take them down!" Kuina said angrily.
Nojiko and Daisy were also very upset. After Ryuen left, they discussed how they thought there were good people among pirates, but now they realized they had been deceived and felt very unhappy!
"Alright, we were inexperienced this time. From now on, we won't trust these pirates, no, we won't trust anyone we don't know!" Ryuen comforted the girls and gave them a heads-up.
"That's right, and we're still young. These adults are the best at lying!" Nojiko was still a bit angry.
"Yes, Nojiko is right. When I was on Clover Island, those adults often lied to me. It's so annoying!" Daisy said angrily, her little face full of anger.
The girls all agreed and nodded. They decided never to trust strangers again.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. It's getting dark, let's go back to the camp first." Ryuen quickly stopped them, as the sun was about to set below the horizon.
"Okay, let's go back." Nami also felt it was getting late and didn't want to dwell on the Vegetable Pirate Crew anymore.
Then she opened the space door, and with Nami's help, they quickly returned to the camp in the center of the island.
After returning to the camp, the sky was completely dark. Because of the appearance of the Vegetable Pirate Crew, Nami's sea chart was still incomplete and would have to be finished tomorrow.
The five kids finished their dinner and started doing their own things.
Kuina and Nojiko practiced together, Nami organized today's drawings, Daisy read medical books, and Ryuen studied the knowledge here.
"By the way, Nami, I haven't seen the Devil Fruit we got today. What does it look like?" Ryuen suddenly remembered the big gift from the Vegetable Pirate Crew and wondered what it looked like.
Hearing Ryuen's words, Nami stopped drawing, and Daisy closed her medical book. They were very curious about the mysterious treasure of the sea, the Devil Fruit.
"Speaking of which, Ryuen, come and see what power this Devil Fruit has!" Nami said excitedly. Since she learned about the value of Devil Fruits, she thought they were the most valuable treasures in the world.
Nami then took out the small box containing the Devil Fruit from the space. Ryuen opened it, and inside was a fruit with strange patterns lying quietly.
He took it out and examined it carefully. He could tell it wasn't an animal-type fruit, but he didn't know its specific power. They would have to wait until they could get a Devil Fruit encyclopedia to find out.
"So, Ryuen, do you know what kind of Devil Fruit this is?" Nami asked eagerly, and Daisy also came over curiously.
Ryuen shook his head and said, "I can't tell either. It looks like we'll need to find a Devil Fruit encyclopedia in the future. Otherwise, we won't know what powers the Devil Fruits have."
Nami nodded in agreement.
After all, knowing the power of a Devil Fruit determines its value. Whether they give it to their companions or use it in some other way, they would feel more at ease.
At this moment, Daisy had a strange feeling.
When she first saw the Devil Fruit today, she seemed to hear a strange voice in her mind, like it had magic, tempting her to eat the Devil Fruit. Now, seeing the Devil Fruit again, that feeling returned, and she really wanted to take a bite!
"Daisy, what's wrong?" Nami asked when she saw Daisy's dazed expression.
Seeing Daisy , Ryuen seemed to understand something and asked, "Daisy, do you want to eat this Devil Fruit?"
"How did you know?" Daisy felt shy when she realized her thoughts were guessed. ?)?
"Hey, Ryuen, why don't we let Daisy eat this Devil Fruit? That way, she can protect herself." Nami thought it would be good for Daisy to eat the Devil Fruit. Even though they didn't know its power yet, Ryuen had said that any power could be strong if developed well.
"I think it's a good idea. Daisy, you should eat this Devil Fruit," Ryuen agreed.
The Devil Fruit had its own will, and Daisy's eyes seemed to be influenced by it, which meant the fruit's power might suit her.
"Really? Can I really eat it?" Daisy was a bit confused.
She knew the value of the Devil Fruit. Whether sold or used, it was a great treasure. Her friends were letting her eat it, and even though she wanted to, she felt a bit guilty about the money it was worth.
"Of course. Maybe this Devil Fruit's power is perfect for you," Ryuen said with a smile.
"Then... I'll eat it?" Daisy happily took out the Devil Fruit and asked again.
Ryuen and Nami nodded, signaling Daisy to eat it.
Encouraged by Ryuen and Nami, Daisy took a big bite!
"Don't! Don't spit it out! Remember, one bite is worth ten million Berries!" Nami quickly said when she saw Daisy's face change.
Ten million Berries? Right! This was a Devil Fruit! It was worth at least a hundred million Berries! She couldn't waste it!
Thinking of this, Daisy forced herself to eat the whole Devil Fruit, even the stem!
After Daisy finished, Nami handed her a bottle of milk: "Here, Daisy, wash your throat!"
Daisy didn't hesitate and drank the milk quickly, finally feeling alive again.
"That was terrifying. What kind of taste was that?" Daisy said, still scared.
