Chapter 49 This man is terrifying!
Kuroro, carrying the unconscious Golden Lion, slowly descended from mid-air using Moonwalk.
Parker turned around and smiled gently at Bonnie.
"See? I told you Kuroro would win!"
Bonnie nodded, her heart churning with turmoil.
"Holy crap—"
Kuroro actually defeated the legendary pirate Shiki?
As Kuma's adopted daughter and a second-generation member of the Revolution family, Bonney certainly knew just how terrifying Shiki the Golden Lion was!
Those are powerful figures left behind from the Rocks Pirates' ship in the "ancient times"!
There's a saying: "Anything made by Rocks, as long as it survives, is guaranteed to be a masterpiece!"
Look at the kind of people on that ship!
Whitebeard—Edward Newgate, Big Mom—Charlotte Linlin, the strongest creature on Earth—Kaido-sensei!
Three out of the Four Emperors came from that ship!
One can only imagine the true strength of the Golden Lion, who is on par with them...
Although he is old, even the oldest lion is still a lion, and not just anyone can fake an accident with him!
This man is terrifying!
Bonnie stared at Kuroro as he drew closer, realizing this once again!
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Kuroro asked, puzzled.
Bonnie shook her head obediently.
"......."
He ignored Bonnie's strange behavior.
Because he was so excited inside that he started shouting wildly!! But on the surface, he still maintained his poker face in front of the other members of the Phantom Troupe.
He carefully turned around, his back to everyone, and activated [The Thief's Ultimate] to avoid letting the members see his expression as he was about to break down.
"That's the Golden Lion! Think of all the reputation points I'll get for defeating it!"
"I'm rich! What does it mean to become rich overnight? This is what it means to become rich overnight!"
Kuroro couldn't help but rub his hands together excitedly, then remembered that everyone was still watching behind him.
He straightened up again, feigning composure, and slowly clicked on the flashing book interface, peering excitedly at it...
The next second, Kuroro's face lost its luster.
He rubbed his eyes, rallied his spirits, and looked at the interface again. Then, the expression on his face could no longer be contained... and he became furious and ferocious!
"Wait a minute! Where's my reputation points?! System, you big-eyed bastard, you actually stole my reputation points, didn't you?!"
The interface was completely empty; there was absolutely nothing there!
Then, as if sensing his anger, the system slowly displayed an interface.
The island is about to crash, and the host's crisis has not been completely resolved; the event is still ongoing, therefore the mission rewards cannot be issued.
"Oh, I see—" Kuroro's expression immediately returned to normal.
"I knew it~ Logically speaking, reputation points are useless to a human player in the system~"
Then, as if still not satisfied, the system sent another message:
[This is an exceptional case; only one chance will be given. If the player slanders the system again, all of the player's reputation points will be confiscated!]
"......"
"System, I was wrong—"
Kuroro's expression returned to normal, and he looked around.
The surrounding air pressure began to increase, and strong winds howled. The island gradually began to break apart under its own weight, making a rumbling sound.
Sure enough, after defeating the Golden Lion, the entire floating island began to fall downwards because it lost the effect of the Float-Float Fruit.
Seeing this, Kuroro quickly deactivated [Secret Chamber Fish] and placed his hand on Shiki's body.
One second... two seconds... three seconds.
With a flash of light, a strange page emitting a pale blue glow appeared atop the golden lion's head.
On the paper, a jet-black fruit, covered in bubble-like patterns, shimmered with an unusual luster:
[Host has been detected to have stolen the Float Fruit]
Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Float-Float Fruit
[It allows one to defy gravity and float in the air, and can control objects (non-living things) that have been touched to float.]
It can also manipulate floating objects to attack enemies, but it cannot levitate any living being other than itself. If the user is defeated, the floating object will fall to the ground.
[Rating: Rarity: S / Potential: A / Usefulness: S]
[Appraisal Comments: Drifting, drifting, my pride and indulgence~ Drifting, drifting, my pure garden~ Let it drift, let it drift, what will never die is my~ Wild ambition at the end~]
This ability boasts both immense power and exceptional safety, but because it is so safe, the owner must be careful not to lose their drive and ambition.
[Overall Rating: S-level, Host gains 16 free attribute points]
"This appraisal is truly insightful."
Does the Golden Lion not know that staying on this broken island for twenty years will ruin a person?
Doesn't the Golden Lion know that that damn "IQ" drug won't change anything at all?
he knows!
But there's nothing you can do about it~ It's like how you're so comfortable curled up on the sofa playing on your phone that you don't want to get up.
He felt safe and comfortable on the island, able to eat and do whatever he wanted, and gradually lost his former spirit and fighting will...
"16 attribute points...?"
Just as Kuroro thought, the overall evaluation of the Float-Float Fruit is very similar to that of the Year-Year Fruit, so the attribute points brought by [Poaching] are the same.
"Who should I give it to?" Kuroro turned to look at the Phantom Troupe members.
Kuroro doesn't intend to consume the Devil Fruit himself.
On the one hand, he didn't want to leave himself with the weakness of being afraid of seawater and sea stone; he wanted to simply borrow it from others.
On the other hand, he has some speculation about the origin of these Devil Fruits, which are called "treasures on the sea," and he does not intend to touch them until the speculation is confirmed.
"Can't you hurry up?!" Bonnie's face contorted with worry as the hurricane blew her away, and she looked anxiously at the ground rapidly approaching the edge of the island.
"Quiet! I'm thinking—" Kuroro stroked his chin thoughtfully.
His gaze swept over the members of the troupe.
Based on the previous exploration, Paramecia-type Devil Fruits can only be consumed by users who enhance their Nen abilities.
The only remaining enhancement-type members in the guild are Nobunaga and Phinks.
Kuroro's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.
"I've got it!" Kuroro's eyes lit up.
After being exposed to the world of pirates, Nobunaga will inevitably grow into a powerful swordsman of the level, mastering flying slashes.
He can use the Float-Float Fruit to combine with flying slashes to create a long-range kite tactic!
"Perfect--"
Kuroro thought to himself, "I'm such a genius!"
Kuroro reached out and grabbed the pages, then flipped his hand over, revealing a jet-black Devil Fruit.
He handed the fruit to Nobunaga and said:
"Eat it."
Not only that, Kuroro roughly removed the two famous swords, "Sakura Ju" and "Kogari," from Shiki's leg.
This changed his lower body size from L010L to 111...
Kuroro handed two famous swords to Nobunaga.
"Let's try dual-wielding. Also..."
"Go to the training ground. Did you see the sword energy that Hawkeye and Shiki just used to attack enemies from a distance? That technique is called Flying Slash."
"Feeling the state of being able to cut through all things without self, forging the blade by attaching qi to the sword, and unleashing qi through slashes... When will I be able to unleash a slash that can cleave through the invisible sea like they do..."
Kuroro patted Nobunaga on the shoulder with an expectant look.
"When did you reach the level of a great swordsman?!"
