I'm at the top of One Piece

“Fool, your life is more important than strangers, even if they are princes of this country. When they threaten your life, the best solution is to send them all away.”

"Then, shall I destroy their bodies and cover my tracks now?" Mercer asked weakly, looking up.

Kureha sighed. What was this, discussing murder and silencing with a child who was not even three years old? "Let's just let it go this time. Since you didn't do anything earlier, don't do anything now either. Leave the rest to me."

"And what about me?" Mercer asked.

Kureha: "Go back now, and take your hunted prey and spoils with you."

"Oh right, don't eat these two Devil Fruits yet. There's a Devil Fruit encyclopedia at home, it's the third from the bottom on the top shelf. Go back and check out the specific effects first, and we'll talk about it when I get back."

"Okay!"

Kureha helped Messer pack his things and watched as Messer and Bear Cub carried their bags and packages away into the distance.

He then glanced coldly at the guards and the Walbourne brothers lying haphazardly around him, and slowly and methodically gave them basic first aid for their wounds.

A moment later, everyone woke up after Kureha slapped them. When they saw Kureha, all the guards except for the Walbourne brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Dr. Kureha.

Specific age unknown.

The famous witch of Drum Island is a doctor with an eccentric personality but superb medical skills.

With a pained expression, Mshuru stepped forward and cursed at Kureha, "You old hag, who gave you the guts to hit me? Believe me or not, I'll have someone kill you."

The next moment, a dark shadow flashed by, and Kureha kicked Mushuru in the face. With a muffled thud, the latter was sent flying backward with a "whoosh," and several teeth and bloodstains fell in mid-air.

"Even your king father wouldn't dare speak to me like that, so who gave you the guts? You scoundrel."

Kureha withdrew her foot and smiled faintly.

When Wapol saw his older brother being kicked away, he was about to speak when he saw Kureha's smiling eyes. He immediately shivered and dared not speak, and hurriedly ran to his older brother.

After a brief exchange.

They also learned that the "Yeti" had already disappeared when Kureha arrived.

As for whether to believe it or not.

At this moment, the lead guard slowly stepped forward, his legs tightly pressed together, his face full of gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Kureha. We might have died here if it weren't for your treatment."

The guards standing nearby shuddered upon hearing this, recalling the scenes from before—the white monster that resembled a Labang.

It's just like the legendary Yeti, with its ghostly movements, immense strength, cunning and treacherous nature, and a particular fondness for treasure.

"Heh, since you know I saved you, you should also know my fee for saving people, right?" Kureha said calmly. "However, I don't lack supplies lately. Just ten cases of plum wine, 100,000 Berries each for you, and 1 million Berries each for those two annoying little brats. I will go to the Drum Mountain Royal Palace Castle in three days to collect the fees. Tell that kid King."

After saying that, Kureha turned and walked away gracefully, disappearing into the snowstorm in no time.

The lead guard stared blankly as the Kureha people disappeared into the distance, then thought of the eldest prince, Mushuru, and slowly walked over with his legs tucked between his legs.

……

When Kureha returned, it was already dark. As she entered the house, she smelled the rich aroma of pork rib soup.

This is bone broth that I simmered over low heat before leaving home.

He immediately laughed and said, "Messer, go get me a bowl so I can warm up first."

Moses: "Okay."

A simple bowl of pork bone soup, with a few pieces of pork ribs, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions on top.

He handed it over, and Kureha, not minding the heat, blew on it, took a sip, and sat on the operating table with her legs crossed.

Messer had nothing to do with Tivapol and the others, and Kureha offered no explanation either.

The two understood each other without saying a word.

Savoring the bone broth, Kureha gnawed on a rib, glanced at the desk, and said slowly and methodically:

"Have you looked at the encyclopedia? Have you identified which two fruits they are?"

Moses nodded and immediately explained the names and effects of the two Devil Fruits. Kureha pursed her lips after listening.

"They're all alright. Now that you understand the effects of the abilities, you can decide for yourself whether to eat them or not. But remember, you can only eat one Devil Fruit in your lifetime, and after eating one, you'll be unable to swim."

Moses nodded seriously.

"Doctor Doriel, aren't you going to eat it? The Fungus Fruit can control the generation of fungi, so it should be useful to you, right?"

Kureha pursed her lips and waved her hand: "How could a beautiful girl like me allow my body to have any weaknesses? If I wanted to eat, I would have done it decades ago."

After finishing the ribs in her bowl, Kureha felt warm and went to get some more ribs from the pot to gnaw on, thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Mercer sat at his desk, holding a purplish-black Devil Fruit in his right hand and stroking Xiong Bao's head with his left, a thoughtful look in his eyes:

"Doctor Doriel, don't you think it would be interesting if Bear Cub ate this Swallow Fruit?"

Kureha bit into a rib, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she began to think seriously:

“Bear is quite smart and very intelligent. If he eats the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, his body will be modified, and his racial defects may be eliminated. With the fruit's power, if you teach him well, it will be quite useful for your future.”

"That's what I think too. If Xiong Bao eats it, his body will become a processing factory, able to devour and refine various substances. I looked at the encyclopedia, and the effects of the Devour-Devour Fruit partially cover that famous Weapon Fruit. I find it particularly interesting."

Kureha also found it amusing. It was utterly depraved for a panda to eat the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. She quickly finished her ribs in a few bites and walked over to Messer.

Watching Messer peel off the skin of the Swallow Fruit, take out a piece of dark purple flesh and stuff it into Xiong Bao's mouth, and seeing Xiong Bao's adorable expression of wanting to vomit but not daring to, as he found it disgusting.

With a gulp, the fruit was swallowed. The two observed the changes in Xiong Bao, and then a minute passed without any change.

So, Mercer pried open Bear Cub's mouth, and instantly, the mouth was stretched to be bigger than his head; the power had taken effect.

The next second, Moses stuffed the remaining Devil Fruits into Bear Cub's mouth. With his throat blocked, Bear Cub had no choice but to swallow them.

"Bah"

Xiong Bao gagged, tears welling in his eyes, and buried his head in Kureha's arms, howling "woof woof".

An unspoken accusation against Moses.

Mercer scoffed, "You took such a huge advantage of me and still have the nerve to scold me. You'll understand how good I really am to you when you grow up."

Hearing Mercer's words, Bear Cub's ears twitched, and he turned to look at Mercer, his eyes clearly showing confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Bao's stomach made a rumbling sound, and the bear's face looked at Moses in a human-like, ingratiating way, whimpering.

Without even guessing, you can tell that this is a plea for food.

Shameless.

Mercer got up and went to the pot, filled the bowl of pork ribs in Xiong Bao's bowl on the ground, and put it on the stool next to the table. She watched as Xiong Bao broke free from Kureha's arms and started munching on the pork ribs with one hand, just like chewing bamboo.

Kureha's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she looked at the bear cub in front of her. The recipe had changed. She reached out and touched the bear cub's body, sensing its internal organs.

"The digestive system can no longer perceive it. No, it should be said that the internal structure of the digestive system has become an unknown structure that I cannot perceive. Interesting."

Kureha took a syringe and took blood and saliva from Xiong Bao.

He then said.

“Its lineage factors have probably changed. I’ll go get them tested. You two play.”

Ding Ding Deng!

Kureha went upstairs to conduct her experiment with great interest. After glancing at Xiong Bao, who had almost finished the ribs in the bowl, Messer turned her attention to another fruit.

Let's begin.

With a thought, he placed his right hand on the Devil Fruit. Immediately afterward, Moses could clearly sense something mysterious flowing from the Devil Fruit—the result of its own faith and legends.

A few seconds later.

The external appearance of the Devil Fruit has not changed, but its internal structure has been altered!

【Item Name: Fungus Fruit】

[Item Effect: An unpalatable fruit that has lost its original effect.]

[Item Review: A Devil Fruit that has lost its essence; its only purpose is to taste terrible!]

During the authentication process, Moses learned that the counterfeit was so convincing that "it could be used to scam people, couldn't it?"

His eyes narrowed, and a joyful smile appeared on his lips.

Moses paused for a second to mourn for those who would be tricked in the future.

Then, the remaining amount accumulated from "signing in" every day for the past two and a half years was deducted.
