Chapter 2: The Fruit of Illusions

A month ago, the people sent by Locke had already found Frostmoon Village, and tomorrow Locke would set off to Frostmoon Village to learn from him.

Thinking about it, but in Frost Moon Village, I should still be able to see Roronoa Sauron when I was a child, I'm so excited to think about it!

ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Locke was taking a bath while thinking about some of the things that were not there, and he didn't notice at all that an apple that he had secretly hidden during breakfast was quietly changing shape.

On the originally red apples, some purple patterns slowly appeared, and after a while, the patterns had covered all places on the surface of the apples.

After a while, Locke came to shore after bathing, got dressed, put on his clothes, and walked towards his manor, intending to discuss with Carmen that he would go to school by himself to-morrow.

While walking, Locke took out the apple from inside his clothes, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he just bit it.

As soon as he chewed in his mouth, an unpalatable sensation appeared in Locke's mouth.

How to say this taste, it's like eating shi, although Locke hasn't eaten shi either, but Locke believes that that thing is definitely this feed.

"Phew! Bah! Bah! โ€

When Locke realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly spit out, but the fruit melted in his mouth, and now it was too late to vomit, and nothing came out except saliva.

Locke spit out while looking at the apple he had just bitten into, only to find that the appearance of the apple had changed, it was full of purple patterns, and the taste of the fruit was just in Locke's mouth.

Locke almost understood that he didn't know when the apple had turned into a Devil Fruit, and he had just eaten it without him noticing.

From Locke's point of view, eating a Devil Fruit is actually nothing, even if you don't eat it at this time, you will find one to eat when you go to sea in the future, but that is decided when you know what the Devil Fruit's ability is. After all, do you still want a stronger ability?

But now that I have eaten the Devil Fruit without knowing it, I don't know what kind of power this is, so I said in a panic.

While Locke was struggling, a piece of information about the fruit appeared in Locke's mind.

When Locke checked the information in his mind, he already had a basic understanding of this fruit, which is called the Phantom Fruit, which can create illusions out of thin air, confuse others, and then disappear.

This left Locke speechless. I don't know what it will be like to develop it in the future.

I don't know what has changed after awakening, is it possible that after awakening, fantasy can also attack, if that's the case, it's not bad, Zhang Yang thinks about it, and his heart is much more comfortable.

Thinking of this, Locke began to experiment with his abilities, and the purple light in the palm of his hand would conjure up Monkey King, Garfield, and Fire Man, Tom and Jerry and other characters that Locke had seen in the anime in his previous life. Although these characters are not very similar, they can still be recognized if you look closely.

In this way, while walking and experimenting, Locke soon returned to the manor, which was very spacious, but there were only three people living in it, and apart from Locke and Carmen, there was only an old butler left by Locke's father, named Rothf.

The old butler is already very old, he has been serving the Locke family in this manor since Locke's grandfather's generation, and now he is almost 70 years old, if it weren't for the old butler who has been helping Locke and taking care of the island's business after Locke's father's accident, Locke would not have had such an easy life.

The old butler also has a son, but in One Piece Gore ยท When D. Roger was executed, he went to the sea to become a pirate, and there was no news for so many years. As for the name of his son, the old man did not tell Locke.

As soon as Locke entered the manor, he saw the figure of the old butler, who was lying on a chaise longue in the courtyard basking in the sun, his eyes slightly closed, letting the sun shine all over his body, and his beard, which had been completely white, fluttered gently in the breeze that blew from time to time.

"Grandpa Rosf, you're basking in the sun again!"

Hearing Locke's voice, the old man opened his eyes and saw that it was Locke who came back, so he quickly stood up from the rocking chair, and then said respectfully: "Little master, you are back!" โ€

Looking at the old housekeeper's respectful appearance, Locke was also very helpless, he had told him many times, and it would be good to call himself Xiaoluo, but the old man just didn't listen, and whatever rules were rules.

"Grandpa Rothf, is Carmen in the house?"

"Miss Carmen is in the kitchen! I'll tell her to come out to see you right away. โ€

Rosf heard Locke ask where Carmen was, and when he answered, he prepared to call Carmen out.

"No need, Grandpa Rossf, you're always resting here, I'll just go find her myself."

Locke looked at the old man, ready to leave, and hurriedly stopped him.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Locke walked straight into the manor and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Speaking of Carmen, this is Locke's third year after crossing over, that day Locke was practicing swords on the beach, watching a plank on the sea float from a distance, at first Locke didn't pay much attention, but after the plank got closer, Locke found that there was a person on the board, looking like that, it should have been a shipwreck.

So Locke resolutely swam over and rescued the man, and when the man came to his senses, he told Locke that her name was Carmen, and that she was shipwrecked in a sea not far away, and her family was killed in the shipwreck.

Locke's body lives in a soul in his 20s in his previous life, and because after crossing over, Locke has been exercising his body and has no friends, and now he meets a Carmen who has been orphaned because of a shipwreck, and it may be the same loneliness feeling, which made the two quickly save and become friends.

When Carmen tells Locke that she wants to be the best chef in the world, Locke promises to help her.

Since then, Locke has been the guinea pig who helps Carmen inspect her new dishes every day. At the beginning, Locke had never eaten a good meal, and from time to time it was uncooked and burnt, and that life was really miserable.

Well, although sometimes there is a lot of salt, at least it can barely be eaten.

Alas! The past is really unbearable! When Locke came to the kitchen, Carmen was standing in front of the stove, holding a kitchen knife, facing the radish in front of him, constantly practicing his knife skills.

Looking at Carmen's serious appearance, Locke was slightly hooked, showing a little smile, and didn't bother her, but just stood at the door and watched like this.
