More than ten years of penance have not been in vain.

Vito today, strength, agility, stamina...... All physical qualities are monster levels in the eyes of ordinary people, balanced and comprehensive, and there are almost no obvious shortcomings.

Marksmanship, swordsmanship, and various hand-to-hand combat skills are also slightly dabbled in, and tend to be proficient.

Although the world government offered him a reward of 250 million Bailey, mostly because of its concern for the tens of thousands of bandits, Vito's individual strength had not yet reached this level.

But the kind of pirate who has just entered the great voyage from the four seas and has offered a reward of tens of millions of Baileys, in the hands of today's Vito, it is still difficult to survive.

This may sound like a "nothing more than that" feeling, but considering that Vito, who has lived in the mountains for a long time, does not have the channels and ability to learn the two-color domineering, just the human body can reach such a level......

After all, he didn't let all these years of penance go to waste.

Smoggy.

Dusting off the ashes of his cigarette, Vito stared at the turquoise fruit in the box and remained silent.

Compared to the Devil Fruits he had obtained before, this Natural Fruit was undoubtedly his favorite one, and it had been half a year since he got it, and he still hadn't eaten it during this period, and even he couldn't tell the reason.

Looking for a better Devil Fruit?

No, this thought flashed in my heart for a moment at most, the natural Devil Fruit is precious and rare, and it is not easy to be lucky enough to get it, and if you want to wait until the next one is in front of you, it will be a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Moon.

Speaking of which, I really still have some resistance...... After all, he is not a person from this world, and there is a faint fear of this mysterious fruit that is said to give the soul to the demon first in exchange for strange power.

But now......

Since I have chosen to go out of the mountains and break into this sea, it is time to make a final decision, in the face of an unfamiliar environment, only the improvement of strength can make people feel at ease.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, Vito no longer hesitated, took out the turquoise fruit from the box, and bit down hard.

Burst!

The juice burst out, the plump flesh fibers quickly differentiated and dissolved with the chewing of the teeth, and the foul smell tasted on the tip of the tongue, wrapped in the subtle sensation of spicy choking, rushed to the throat, and quickly spread along the intestines, making people feel sick and sick.

Vito frowned deeply, even though he had been mentally prepared before entering the entrance, the unpalatable degree of the Devil Fruit still easily exceeded the limit of his imagination, completely crushing the last bit of "maybe not so bad" luck mentality.

This is destined to be the most unforgettable eating memory of his life, after Vito swallowed a piece of pulp with difficulty, he continued to bite down for the second time without saying a word, and continued to repeat the process of chewing, swallowing, and regurgitating.

He used to be curious about how Devil Fruits worked, and once asked Gandalf specifically about this.

The fat old man told him from personal experience that the Devil Fruit was very unpalatable, but in order to gain control faster, he had to swallow the fruit as much as possible, preferably with the peel and gottle, so as to achieve the best results.

It sounded very reasonable, and coupled with the fact that Gan was a loyal old man who had worked for the family for decades, Vito never doubted the veracity of this information.

So at this moment, even if the more he eats, the more uncomfortable he becomes, and he even wants to vomit the contents of his stomach, but in order to control this new power as soon as possible, Vito still insists in silence.

I am eating [power] and savoring the process of [power] pouring into my body...... After some time, he looked at the last bit of fruit that was left with disgust, and after comforting himself, he closed his eyes and swallowed it.

At this point, the entire Devil Fruit eating process is complete.

Syllable!

Vito closed the box with a blank face, put away the empty box along with the other two Devil Fruits, and waited for the feeling of stomach acid tumbling in his body to gradually subside and disappear, he sat down on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and probed the power of the legendary demon.

"Kind of understand what I'm getting......"

After only a few seconds, Vito reopened his eyes, a strange and subtle sensation surging through his limbs, and he suddenly opened his raised left hand to the glare of the sunlight outside the window.

The slender and powerful palm, under the sunlight, shows a translucent halo color, looking up, the palm print seems to be a pale silver thin line, like a swimming fish staggered in the air.

And with the flow of Vito's thoughts, the staggered palm prints suddenly twisted and rotated, turning into a circle of annual rings, and the color of the entire palm was as if it had been splashed with paint, from white and ruddy, to suddenly changed to green all over.

Looking at this jasper palm like a tree spirit, Vito suddenly flipped it over, and with a movement of his mind, several green vines with the thickness of the bottle mouth sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, suddenly growing from the palm of his hand, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, branches and leaves spread out, spreading around.

The white walls, which were originally simply decorated, were suddenly dyed with green light.

Vito shook his palm, cutting off the connection between his palm and the roots of the green vine, which suddenly stopped growing, but still maintained its vitality, the vines swaying in the wind, and the emerald green leaves reflected the oil in the sun, shining brightly.

"Plants can grow from the body as they want, and they can still control the plants after they are separated from the body."

Vito muttered in his mind, this was his first impression of his abilities, and after thinking about it, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the bedside table, the green plant that had been placed there as a decoration, and hooked his finger at it.

The green plants shook happily, and moved in response to Vito's gestures, standing upright, wilting and lying down, and shaking the veins from side to side...... Almost zero delay completes Vito's various commands, silky as a finger.

"You can manipulate the surrounding plants at will, and the size of the range is uncertain for the time being, which may be positively correlated with the degree of ability development."

This was the second trait, and Vito wanted to find a place with a lot of trees to try, but unfortunately the merchant ships had already started, and he was in the blue sea at the moment, and the only bit of green that could be seen was the small plant on the bedside table.

"Next is the most important point."

Vito took his revolver from his waist, reloaded it, pressed the muzzle of the black hole to his temple with a blank face, and then, almost without any hesitation, pulled the trigger.

Bang!

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the yellow-orange-orange bullet shot into the temple, piercing through the entire brain in an instant, rushing out of the temple at the other end, and finally embedded in the wall several meters away.

"I can't feel the presence of brains at all......"

Vito shook his head, and the bullet holes that appeared on both temples were closed and disappeared almost instantly, without the slightest trace of blood oozing, which looked quite weird.

"It seems that in the future, you and you will not be a threat to me."

He turned his head sideways, looked at the revolver that had been with him for many years, and sighed with regret, "Sure enough, there was no one in ten thousand accidents, the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book is honest, it is indeed his mother's natural department." ”
