My two-dimensional resident

Butterfly covered her mouth and laughed, her pair of purple eyes sparkling brightly.

"..." Hyuga Neji remained as cold and aloof as ever.

Since the arena was built, that's been the residents' favorite place to go for the past three days.

On his first day, Neji encountered a wall on the second floor, which was two meters high, while searching for a place to stay. He then obediently used the ladder that Lin Tian had given him.

From then on, he developed both fear and curiosity about this strange island.

As a ninja trapped in an unknown and terrifying place, his first task is to gather intelligence on the strength of the other people on the island.

So when Ace invited him to a duel in the arena, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

And it was this agreement that ushered in the darkest time of his life...

He had always been very confident in his physical skills, but he never expected that Ace would act like a brute, shattering his Heavenly Strike with punch after punch.

And then there was that man named Hercules. He didn't even catch the other's movements before being knocked down by a single punch.

The island lord, Lin Tian, ​​was even more peculiar. Despite his apparent lack of strength, he was able to evade attacks using his strange fiery body.

The most terrifying thing is that every time he uses that kind of "ninjutsu" that doesn't require hand seals, a phantom of death appears in his mind...

As for the two newcomers who came to the island with him, Lenalee used black boots, and Neji could easily defeat her.

But the other one... who claimed to be a doctor, was obsessed with poisoning him during their duel... poisoning...

There isn't a single normal person on this island!

After suffering endless torment, Hyuga Neji suddenly wanted to go home to retire and take care of his children.

"But my companions are waiting for me. I have to get back as soon as possible!"

Lina Li was somewhat anxious; her innocent, first-love-like face was filled with longing and worry for her companions.

"You're too weak. Although you defeated a LV3, have you ever considered that there might be LV4, LV5, or even higher-level demons in Edo?"

Moreover, these demonic weapons are associated with the Millennium Duke and the Noah Clan.

With your current strength, you can't defeat them at all. Not to mention the naive idea in your mind.

Protecting your comrades? That requires you to possess great strength!

Lenalee is good in every way, except that she is too naive and idealistic.

Faced with such a cute girl, Lin Tian didn't want her to go back so soon and become a powerless background figure.

......

After the brief, informal meeting, everyone left the square to embrace a new day of wonderful life.

Are you sure you want to go?

"go with!"

Just as Ace was about to leave the plaza and head to the arena, Lin Tian called out to him.

"If you want to go, you must agree to one request!"

"Whatever you ask for, I'll grant it!"

"Eat it!"

"Huh? Isn't this the Flame-Flame Fruit?! I remember you said the Devil Fruit Tree only bears fruit once. This should be the last one, right?"

When Ace saw Lin Tian take out something for him to eat, he suddenly looked shocked. He remembered very clearly that this Flame-Flame Fruit should have been the last one!

"Hehe, how could it be the last one? I've already harvested seven Flaming Fruits in the past week or so."

And I'll tell you a secret: if you eat a Devil Fruit on the island, the island's will will help remove the curse from your body!

"Um?!"

When Lin Tian said that the island's will could eliminate the side effects of Devil Fruits, Ace was struck dumb, his mind reeling. He looked incredulous and cried out in disbelief.

"Impossible! Devil Fruits are fruits cursed by the sea, how could eating one not be cursed by the sea?"

"Do you think I would lie to you? The elemental transformation of the Flame-Flame Fruit can save your life when an enemy launches a fatal attack against you."

The magic in Illya's world is too bizarre. I only made you eat this Flame-Flame Fruit to give you another way to save your life..."

Chapter 100 Someone said even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, Lin Tian WTF?!

"But the final outcome is up to you! And whether you can go to Yinliya's world is up to me!"

After saying this, Lin Tian sighed inwardly. He greatly admired Ace's willingness to protect Yinliya, who had only been on the island for half a day, even at the cost of a powerful enemy.

But he wasn't the hot-blooded type like Ace. When faced with a choice his comrade made, his first thought was whether the other person's life was in danger.

As the adorable owner of Rabbit Island, he has a responsibility to protect the safety of the island's residents.

Even if Ace were to become his enemy now and never come to live on the island again, Lin Tian would never regret his decision if Ace didn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"But didn't you say that even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit?" Ace said, mimicking Lin Tian's tone as he looked at the Flame-Flame Fruit in Lin Tian's hand.

"..." (The gaze of death)

"Okay! I'll eat it!"

Although Ace's personality is similar to Luffy's, he is much more mature. Seeing Lin Tian's resolute attitude, he understood that Lin Tian was afraid of encountering danger and dying in Yinliya's world.

Since I have chosen to challenge the strong in the world of Yinliya, I must face death.

Lin Tian was right; his goal was to become the Pirate King, not to go to another world to die.

Ace snatched the Flame-Flame Fruit from Lin Tian's hand and took a bite of it.

"vomit!"

An overwhelming, nauseating urge struck Ace right to the top of his head. But he forced himself to suppress the urge to vomit and continued eating the Flame-Flame Fruit, bite by bite.

In his mind, Dadan's love-filled food was no longer the worst-tasting food; the Devil Fruit was ten thousand times worse.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

After finishing the last bite of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Ace could no longer bear it. He put his hands on his knees, bent over, and began to retch over the beach in front of him.

"Ace, Devil Fruits are your specialty, don't you know anything about how to eat them?"

Seeing Ace's disheveled appearance, Lin Tian barely suppressed a laugh.

"?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in Lin Tian's words, Ace looked up at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression.

"A Devil Fruit only needs to be eaten in small bites to gain its full power. The rest of the fruit, besides being unpalatable, becomes an ordinary fruit and loses its power."

"Ah! Why don't you..."

"It looks like it's going to rain today. My tent really needs to be upgraded to a brick house. Ace, you go ahead with your work. I'm off!"

Seeing Ace eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, Lin Tian turned and left, leaving Ace, still reeling from the unforgettable taste of the Devil Fruit, bewildered alone in the breeze...

......

Inside the service hall, Lin Tian gave Xiao Ke another piece of his "heart's flesh".

Upgrading his inventory to thirty slots cost Lin Tian a whopping 100,000 Bells. Anyone would feel the pinch!

As he was about to leave, he noticed that the new employee, Isabelle, was staring at him with a conflicted expression, as if she had something to say to him.

"Hmm? Isabelle. May I ask what's the matter?"

"Lin Tian... Island Master, um... I've noticed... the island's ecosystem is currently too monotonous. If you're going to leave the island, please bring back one plant, one animal, and some fertilizer."

As a newcomer to the position, Isabelle couldn't shake her introverted personality; her voice trembled as she spoke.

The First Clan

However, she was still very responsible and told Lin Tian about the problems she had discovered after arriving on the island.

"Hmm... is ordinary plant or animal matter or fertilizer okay?"

Upon hearing Isabelle's mission, Lin Tian lowered his head and pondered. His intuition told him that this mission was not so simple.

After thinking for a long time, he looked up at the lovely new employee.

"This...that...no..." Isabelle blinked, unsure how to describe to Lin Tian what specific type of plants and animals he needed.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a solution.

Excited, she lowered her head and rummaged through the drawer under the workbench for a while before taking out a miniature version of her own figurine, about ten centimeters tall.

Somewhat embarrassed, he handed it to Lin Tian.

"This is a detector! Island Master Lin Tian, ​​take it. If it encounters an item that meets the requirements, its eyes will light up!"

"Hmm... I see. That's interesting. I'll collect these three items as soon as possible. Isabelle, thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing the miniature Isabelle in front of him, Lin Tian chuckled, then put it into his spatial backpack and left the service hall.

Even though it costs 100,000 Bells less, getting a free Isabelle figure doesn't seem like a bad deal!

......

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat subdued during dinner time.

Yin Liya, who usually enjoys bickering with Lin Tian, ​​was now staring blankly as she unconsciously drew circles on her plate with a chopstick.

She's about to return to Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War, so it's not hard to guess what she's thinking right now.

Meanwhile, the others also had their own different thoughts as the plane was about to open...

"Lin Tianli, Xiao Mo just called. The plane's radar has been repaired. If anyone wants to leave the island, they can go to the airport reception hall to find him to complete the procedures."

The quiet atmosphere was quickly broken by the arrival of Xiao Ke.

"Hmm, very good." Lin Tian nodded lightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, then turned to look at everyone, finally focusing his gaze on Yin Liya.

"Yin Liya, are you ready?"

"Ok!"
