People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Are you serious?

Frost Star, who had re-condensed his body, looked at the huge crack and his heart was beating wildly.

If that knife had really landed on my body, I would be dead now, right?

The threat of death crawled over Frost Star's body, making him tremble slightly.

"Afraid?"

Qu Wen Jie Dou asked in a deep voice.

The cut just now was just an appetizer. Compared to the battle that broke out when he and Kuzuya Kota competed for the ultimate authority over the Devil Fruit Tree, this cut was probably only as strong as a nail clipper.

However, if it is used as a test for the person in front of me, it is more than enough, or even a little beyond the scope.

"Scared? Not really, I just feel a little...excited!"

"Roar?"

interesting.

Frost Star only felt a burning sensation in his heart at this moment, as if there was a fanatical voice telling him in his ear how powerful the force just now was. If he could fight against it or even defeat it, it would be such a fulfilling and refreshing thing.

She had experienced this feeling before. When she transformed for the first time, she felt a fanatical will coming from within the Burning Lock. It was a will that was unwilling to be lonely and was pursuing the will to charge and fight from the beginning to the end.

"It seems that it has been affected by the will of the devil fruit? But it doesn't matter."

Qiwen Jiedou saw at a glance the current state of Frost Star, who was influenced by the will contained in the devil fruit. He and Kuzuya Kota had experienced this before.

boom! !

Qu Wen Jie Dou briefly recalled the past events, but the next second, Frost Star had already broken the ground and rushed towards him.

The blazing flames wrapped around her, making her look like she had completely lost her knightly appearance. She pounced towards Qi Wen Jie Dou like a flaming demon.

"Come on, come on."

In the distance, Kuzuba Kota was amazed at the two people who were engaged in a fierce fight again.

"It seems that Jiedou really admires Miss Shuangxing."

"Yeah, that's why he was so patient in teaching the child, even explaining Haki to him."

"Yes, yes."

The woman's voice coming from beside him did not make Geye Kota feel that there was anything wrong. However, after he took another bite of meat and before he could pull it off the bone, cold sweat had already flowed from Geye Kota's forehead.

"What's wrong, Kota? You don't want to eat anymore?"

She was a woman with squinting eyes and a smile. Her youthful and beautiful appearance matched with her white gauze dress, golden hair and laurel crown on her head. She looked beautiful with a hint of divinity.

However, in the eyes of Geye Kota at this moment, such a beautiful woman is more terrifying than ten thousand or one hundred million Quwen Jiedou inviting him to a decisive battle!

"Wu...Wu, why are you here?"

"Haha, if I hadn't come, you and Jiedou would have demolished our forest again, and even attacked the guests. Did you and Jiedou just ignore my words, Kota!"

"Hey! Can we reconcile?"

"Are you kidding me at this moment?"

"Ahhhhhh! Kaito!!"

boom!

A knife chopped at Frost Star, causing it to fly backwards and smash dozens of huge trees behind it into pieces. Qu Wen Jie Dou looked up in confusion.

"Kuzouye?"

Chapter 230: The Demonic Fruit and the History of Its Beginning

"I'm so sorry, Miss Frost Star. You came to us for help, but these two guys actually attacked you. Sorry, did you get a little scared?"

In a very quiet tree house, Gao Siwu brought out four cups of oolong tea and placed them on a low table made of wooden stakes, looking at Shuangxing who was sitting opposite her with an apologetic look.

Behind her, Qi Wen Jie Dou was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, still looking defiant. The slight displeasure between his brows revealed that he was not in a very good mood at the moment.

Next to him, Kuzuba Kota stared at the small stove in front of him. The power of the natural devil fruit constantly controlled the temperature of the flame under the stove, keeping it at a just right level.

There was a gurgling sound coming from the stove, and at the same time, bursts of wonderful fragrance emanated from the small stove, making Ge Ye Hongtai look obsessed from time to time, and even Qu Wen Jie Dou looked at the things in the stove from time to time.

"No, no, Qiwen...Mr. Jiedou gave me some basic understanding of this forest."

"...I hope you don't have any misunderstandings about this forest."

A drop of cold sweat ran down Gao Siwu's forehead. Before stopping the fight between Qu Wen Jie Dou and Shuang Xing, she had already learned the cause and effect of the matter from Ge Ye Hong Tai. She also probably knew that Qu Wen Jie Dou had met Shuang Xing before Ge Ye Hong Tai arrived, and the process should not have been pleasant.

But it's normal. Gao Siwu has a basic understanding of Qi Wen Jiedou's personality, which is much better than before.

"Wu, this is ready to eat."

Calculating that the time was almost up, Geye Kota turned his head with a greedy look on his face and looked at Gao Siwu. The latter had a helpless look on her face, but just nodded. Geye Kota immediately cheered and raised his hand to lift the lid of the small pot with a gust of wind.

The tempting aroma of meat immediately wafted out of the pot, making Shuangxing swallow her saliva involuntarily.

And Qi Wen Jiedou had sat down next to the pot with chopsticks in his hands at some point, his eyes fixed on Ge Ye Hongtai, as if he was letting go of some invincible enemy.

"Haha! The first piece of meat I'll... Ugh! Stop fighting!!"

However, before Kuzuya Kota could swing the chopsticks that had appeared in his hand at some point, tough black vines had already wrapped around his body. He subconsciously used elementalization. However, no matter where he started elementalization, the tightening black vines could accurately grab Kuzuya Kota.

"This is... actually using Armament Haki to catch me!"

Geye Kota looked at Qi Wen Jiedou in disbelief, but the latter just poured the meat in the pot into two bowls with an expressionless face, and then controlled the vines to place them in front of Gao Siwu and Shuangxing.

"Do I have one too?"

The tempting sugar color of the stew in front of him made Frost Star swallow his saliva. When they were in the Ursus tundra, it was cold and difficult to find green vegetables, so most of the food for the soldiers of the Integration Movement was just wild fruits and animal meat. But also because of the harsh environment, the harvest of each hunting could not be said to be rich, so on average each person could not get much meat, and the majority of it needed to be distributed to the combat members to ensure their physical strength and energy.

But even so, the food in my memory was just bland broth with not many pieces of meat, and most of it was served with dry and hard black bread, with the broth making the bread soft.

This situation was not alleviated until the arrival of the Ark, which brought a large amount of supplies.

Now, the infected people in Canaan no longer need to worry about food. There is a considerable amount of food stored inside the city. In addition, with the subsequent cooperation with Longmen, Canaan’s supplies can guarantee the normal use of residents.

After the new round of cultivation of agricultural land next year, Canaan City will basically be able to ensure self-sufficiency in food. As for other resources, trade with Longmen will still have to be guaranteed.

His thoughts wandered too far, but after returning, Frost Star's attention was quickly drawn to the stew in front of him.

"Ms. Shuangxing is a guest. How can we let her watch us eat? And Jiedou, please let Kota go. There's no need to keep him chained up like this."

However, in the face of Takashi Mai's request, Kimon Kaito had no intention of letting go of Kuzuya Kota.

"Last time, as soon as the meal was ready, this guy used the Sparkle Sparkle Fruit to pick out all the meat at the speed of light and eat it himself. This time, at least I won't let him go until I finish eating."

Speed ​​of light? Although Frost Star had never been to school and could be considered a complete novice in terms of education, she had sat in on a few of Fang Ark's classes later on when he was teaching Tallulah, and she did understand some of the more superficial things that weren't too profound.

For example, the speed of light.

According to Fang Ark, the speed of light can be said to be the fastest speed in the real world under normal circumstances. It is basically impossible for any person or other thing to reach the speed of light without using some extremely special means.

But the person in front of him, Kaito Kimono, said that Kuzuya Kota could use the power of the devil fruit to reach the speed of light, but he reached this speed just to make a living?

"Slander! Jiedou, you are slandering me! I clearly left some for you and Mai!"

"Indeed, you did leave some stew for Mai, but... you only left rice for me, right?"

The murderous look in Qiwen Jiedou's eyes pierced straight into Kuzuye Kota's soul, making him feel the chilling air from the underworld rising straight up from his tailbone to his head.

"Sorry, and please turn off the cooling of the Yomiuri Fruit. Thank you."

"Humph."

"Okay, Jie Dou."

Kuzunoya Kota's apology did not make Kiwa no Kaito let go, until Gao Siwu looked at the two of them gently, and finally the cold-faced Kiwa no Kaito let go of the vines that bound Kuzunoya Kota.

"But you actually attached your Armament Haki to the vines that grew from the Lush Fruit to catch me. That's a genius idea."

Looking at the dark vines slowly shrinking into the ground, Kuzuya Kota said with emotion.

"It's not just Armament Haki, there's also a thin layer of seastone powder that I created with the Stone-Stone Fruit."

"...Seastone...Powder? Can that thing be made with the Stone-Stone Fruit? Isn't the Stone-Stone Fruit only capable of controlling and making rocks?"

"I thought seastone was also a rock."

"..."

Ah, yes, there is no way to reason with superhuman things, or in other words, there is no way to reason with devil fruits. The extent of the devil fruit's ability depends entirely on how much the devil fruit user understands the fruit's ability.

It can be said that among all the devil fruits, the superhuman type devil fruit has the highest upper limit. Even the so-called most powerful natural type devil fruit cannot match the superhuman type in some areas.

Frost Star noticed the word "seastone" and took it to heart. Frost Star took note of it and planned to go back and ask Fang Zhou about it. However, Gao Siwu, who was standing by, saw what Frost Star was thinking and spoke without hesitation.

"Seastone is a special mineral found in the ocean. It contains a special ingredient called 'Pyrobroin' that can suppress the power of Devil Fruits, and even temporarily eliminate the power of Devil Fruits. However, this 'Pyrobroin' only exists in one special world, the world where Devil Fruits originated. 'Pyrobroin' does not exist in the oceans of other worlds."

In other words, in other worlds, devil fruits are not afraid of sea water.

but……

"What is the sea...?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people present were stunned.

"Miss Froststar, don't you know the sea?"

Kaito Kimon, Kota Kuzuba, and Mai Takashi looked at each other in bewilderment. Whether in their original world or the One Piece world, the sea was not a strange word to them.

Japan itself is a large island country in the ocean, and 90% of the One Piece world is ocean, so some people don’t know about the ocean... Uh, oh, some people on the sky island don’t seem to know about the ocean, but what they don’t know is that the Qinghai, Baihai and Baibaihai below still occupy a considerable position in their normal lives.

In response to Gao Siwu's question, Shuangxing just shook his head, as if he also realized the gap between the two worlds. Shuangxing began to exchange the situation of the two worlds with the three people.

As Frost Star told the story, Gao Siwu and the others also learned about Terra, Ore Disease, Infected, Natural Disasters, Originium and a series of other things they had never heard of.

"Miss Froststar, you truly come from a remarkable place, but you don't have the concept of 'world' over there."

Frost Star nodded and looked at Gao Siwu.

“We usually describe the place we live in by saying things like ‘the earth’ or ‘this land’.”

"Because in your world, most people have no concept of the ocean. But don't coastal countries have a concept of the ocean?"

Kuzunoya Kota's question made Shuangxing think for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head.

"I don't know. Actually... I don't even know how many countries there are on the land I live in. I've been in the Originium Mine since I was born. It wasn't until I met the old stubborn man... my adoptive father, at the age of 12, that I was able to follow them out of that hellish place and join them to fight for the future of the infected."

As she spoke, Shuangxing unconsciously touched the Originium crystal on her body. Gao Siwu looked at Shuangxing's hand and realized that that position might be the lesion of the "ore disease".

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"what?"

Putting down the bowl in his hand, Qiwen Jiedou glanced at Gao Siwu.

"Come out with me for a moment."

"What... Hey, don't pull me."

Seeing Qiwen Jiedou being pulled out by Gao Siwu, Geye Kota could almost guess what they were going to do. Realizing that Gao Siwu would probably not be able to make Qiwen Jiedou give in for a while, his eyes involuntarily looked at the bowl of rice in front of Qiwen Jiedou, especially the braised pork on it that exuded an attractive glow and meaty aroma.

"Kuzouba."

The sudden sound startled Geye Kota, and then he looked up and saw Qi Wen Jiedou's deathly eyes looking at him from the door.

"I've been watching you."

After saying this, Gao Siwu stretched out her hand to pull him away, but the look in her eyes before leaving made Geye Kota resist the temptation and retract his gaze from staring at the Braised Pork of Qiwen Jiedou.

The previous Kuzunoya Kota would not be like this. It can only be said that the local environment and climate determine the local people, and the local environment and climate in One Piece are a bit too strong.

"You guys have a really good relationship."

For a moment, only Kuzuba Kota and Shuangxing were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Frost Star looked at the silent Kuzuya Kota and couldn't help but bring up a topic.

"Ah? Ah, haha, yes. In Fangzhou's words, Kaito, Mai and I can be considered close friends who have shared life and death together, especially Kaito and I."

As if recalling some unforgettable memory, Kuzuba Kota's eyes were quite complicated.

Isn't it a life-and-death struggle? That time, Jiedou almost killed himself. I almost chopped his kidneys into pieces with one blow, although he also hit Jiedou's head off.

Shuangxing also understood the hidden meaning of Geye Kota's words, so she stopped asking about their past.

But remaining silent like this was not a solution. Kuzuya Kota remembered the purpose of Frost Star coming here, so he spoke directly.

"So, Miss Froststar came here originally to obtain more lock seeds?"
