Chapter 53: The Devil Fruit's Fatal Flaw
"Oh, should I eat it!" Lacey looked at the Devil Fruit on the ground and was depressed.
The main thing is that he doesn't know what type of Devil Fruit this is, and he doesn't know what kind of fruit it is capable of, and he can't even say anything about the rumors that Devil Fruits are hard to eat and fatal flaws.
Lacey thought that in the future, he might go to the fruit and make his friends and subordinates become powerful Devil Fruits, such as the Thunder Fruit, the Dark Fruit, and many other fruits that have not yet been eaten... There are too many Devil Fruits in these anime, and Lacey knows very well that if he plans something, he has to take one of them, and with the fruit moves he is very familiar with, he can make his subordinates and friends become a very powerful Devil Fruit ability.
As for Reis himself, Reis didn't think about getting the Devil Fruit for himself and his family to eat, but the fatal flaw of the Devil Fruit was too big, so big that as soon as Rey thought of his family, he abandoned the idea of becoming a strong Devil Fruit powerhouse.
"Alas, there's no way, whether you can get out alive now depends on this Devil Fruit! I don't have a choice! ”
"No matter how fatal that flaw is, whether or not you can survive now is the most important thing."
Looking at her ignorant, innocent and lovely sister Ellie, Ellie's beautiful clothes covered in dust and her cheeks still stained with tears. Lacey gritted his teeth, but still made up his mind to eat the devil fruit in front of him, if nothing else, as long as his sister was safe and sound, he had nothing to do, and the safety of his family was his greatest wish.
"As for the fact that the more the Devil Fruit is developed and used more often, the more it will absorb the user's lifespan and physical health, so it's a big deal that after escaping this time, I won't use it." Lacey thought to himself.
Because as long as Reis thinks of Whitebeard who fought on the top and Luffy who developed the grade later, he is afraid when he thinks of their tragic situation, Whitebeard is young and relies on too much use of the Shock Fruit ability, resulting in illness in his later years, and he can't use the Shock Fruit, and the ability to use the Shock Fruit is consuming his own life.
And Luffy's rubber fruit needless to say, the development of the grade is seriously consuming his own lifespan, every time he uses the third or fourth gear, he is exhausted and has to rest for a long time, Lacey can't imagine how many years he has to live after Luffy becomes the king of the pirates.
"In this world, although becoming a strong Devil Fruit is the main theme, but physical skills, swordsmanship, and domineering are the royal way and the right way, only these three are no defects, and you can rest assured that you can cultivate the system, and you will still consider learning physical skills and swordsmanship in the future, as for the Devil Fruit ability, after you let yourself escape, you will no longer use it!"
Lacey knew that he didn't have any dreams of his own, and he didn't want any dreams called names, he just wanted to live a good life with his parents, but this damn reality was so hateful, he never gave Lacey the comfortable life he wanted.
He handed the lighter in his hand to Bedo, and asked Bedo to hold the lighter for lighting, then bent down and picked up the unknown devil fruit, held it in front of him, and carefully sniffed the taste of the fruit, and found that there was no peculiar smell, and even slightly exuded a trace of fragrance!
"This fruit actually has a fragrant taste, it shouldn't be difficult to eat! Peel the skin first! ”
.......
The royal city of the Kingdom of Goa, the most central royal palace.
Duke Tebo, dressed in a white suit, holding a noble cane, slowly entered the palace of King Otluk III under the watchful eyes of the palace guards, only to see King Otluk III wearing a crown and holding a golden cane, sitting upright on a golden seat that radiated dazzling light.
"Tebo, how are things going?" King Otluk III glanced at Tebo, who had saluted him, and said nonchalantly.
After Tebo finished saluting, he stood up and said with a smile: "The king can rest assured, the Beirut family is now a turtle in an urn. ”
"Well, really? That's good, as long as you don't go too far! After all, Lieutenant Colonel Luther will come back in the future, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to explain it. When Otluk III heard that the Beirut family was about to finish, a trace of happiness and greed flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Tebo a little and said: "Then how are you going to take over the business of the Beirut family, and now the business of the Beirut family, I heard that everyone is red!" ”
Regarding the news of Lieutenant Colonel Luther's quiet departure, the heads of the five families of Tepo's covenant did not know how Duke Tepo knew, and they did not think that in fact, this news was sent by King Otluk III to tell Duke Tepo.
Thinking of the Beirut family, a trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of King Otluk III, he really hated and disgusted the Beirut family, as the king of the Kingdom of Goa, he thought that all the people living in his jurisdiction were his people, and the wealth of the people was naturally his own wealth, but the Beirut family, a small viscount family, actually fell close to Lieutenant Colonel Luther of the Navy, and gave the huge wealth that originally belonged to him to Lieutenant Colonel Luther, who was also very disgusted. This is undoubtedly like slapping himself in front of all the nobles of the Goya Kingdom.
All aristocrats will take it for granted that they think: Oh! It turns out that the king of the Goya Kingdom can't protect a small viscount family, and he has to rely on a lieutenant colonel of the Navy Luther to survive, which doesn't prove that the navy is more powerful than the king of the Goya Kingdom!
Otluk III knew very well that when some nobles thought like this, it would undoubtedly shake the rule of the viscount, so that they would not fear their own king, which was absolutely unbearable for King Otluk III, who valued power and wealth very much, and it was the Beirut family who was the culprit who happened all this, how not to make Otluk III resentful.
And in order to take care of Lieutenant Colonel Luther of the Navy and the face of the kingdom, King Otluk III had to not personally attack the Beirut family, but could only secretly stumble, and sometimes he had to protect the Beirut family on the surface, how could this make him swallow this breath.
"Don't worry, King!" Tebo stood in place, hiding a trace of disgust in his eyes when he looked at King Otluk III, and said with a smile on his face: "He has countless wealth in the Beirut family, how can I let it go, Nar of the Beirut family is the son of the steward of the Beirut family, he has betrayed the Beirut family, he knows very well how much business the Beirut family has, and when I take over the business of the Beirut family, I will hand over half of the Beirut family's business to the king at that time!" ”
Tepo looked at King Otluk III, who was smiling because of his few words, standing in place and bowing his arrogant head, hiding a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and disgust in his eyes, what he hated most was the king who was a bastard who wanted to be a bitch and set up an archway, because he himself was afraid of the might of the navy and was afraid of Lieutenant Commander Luther of the navy, so he didn't dare to punish the Beirut family, so he found himself who had a grudge against the Beirut family.
Well, Tebo himself began to take revenge on the Beirut family as King Otluk III wished, but this bastard King Otluk III, in order to clear his suspicions, also set an example for all the nobles, and specially strengthened the patrol of the Kingdom Guard after he kidnapped Becky's child, which disappointed Duke Tebo, who originally wanted to imitate Becky for a night attack.
And Tebo also saw King Luther III's actions clearly, it was clear that he threw his Harry family out as a shield, he himself was a good person in front of all the nobles and Lieutenant Colonel Luther, if he really destroyed the Beirut family, then when Lieutenant Colonel Luther came back, his family would face the first revenge of Lieutenant Colonel Luther, and it would not involve the king, and Otluk III would not protect himself and offend Lieutenant Colonel Luther of the Navy. How Tebo developed a sense of awe for the king.
King Otluk III's bastard actions have made the Harry family and the five major families incompatible, without the protection of the king, how dare Duke Tebo and the five major families do something to face the revenge of Lieutenant Commander Luther of the Navy, destroy the Beirut family, only dare to seize the business of the Beirut family, and pull the king into the water together to get the king's protection.
The Duke of Tebo and King Otluk III were chatting happily in the palace while the vault was retching!
........
Lacey carefully peeled off the outer skin of the Devil Fruit in his hand, and found that the flesh exposed inside was also in the same dark black spiral shape as the skin.
"Brother, eat quickly! What a glutton! Ellie watched her brother's mouth open and close, but she couldn't put her mouth down, so she couldn't salivate, and hurriedly told her brother to eat quickly.
"That's it, Lacey, hurry up and eat, if you don't eat, I'm afraid I'll snatch it!" Bedo swallowed as he held a lighter, standing closest to Lacey, looking at the fleshy Devil Fruit in Lacey's hand.
"That's it, seeing that you can't talk like this, I'm really anxious!" Beo couldn't help but complain, but Beo couldn't figure it out, the devil fruit that peeled off the skin was full of tender flesh, although the color was a little darker, but the fruit exuded a trace of fragrance, Beo smelled it, and he couldn't figure out why his younger brother Rey didn't eat it, which made people anxious.
Rey reluctantly glanced at their anxious faces, and said in his heart: "Forget it, it's all to be eaten anyway, just close your eyes and take a bite, I remember that the taste of the Devil Fruit in the mouth is quite unbearable, but when you don't eat it, the Devil Fruit seems to be able to be preserved forever." Only eating the first bite of the fruit will give you the ability to eat it, and there will be no change in the person who eats it afterwards! ”
Lacey looked up and said, "I'll just take one bite, and I'll leave the rest for you!" ”
After speaking, Lacey closed his eyes, as if he was going to a yellow spring, and lowered his head and bit the devil fruit in his hand with a determined face.....
