Chapter 69
"Wyper! That’s Enel’s voice!"
A squad of Shandian warriors was currently racing through the forests of Apayado. They had clearly heard Enel’s screams.
They had also detected a group of outsiders entering Apayado territory. The commotion from their battle with the four priests had alerted them as well.
So they wanted to attempt another raid on Enel. They had done this countless times before, but were always stopped by the four priests and forced to retreat.
This was the perfect opportunity. The four priests were no longer in the Ordeal grounds, and even Enel himself hadn’t shown up.
Wyper felt this would be their greatest chance yet to reclaim their homeland!
"Full speed ahead! This time we must defeat that bastard Enel and take back our homeland!"
Wyper shouted words to boost morale, then led the charge toward the palace. The Shandian warriors behind him all wore excited smiles as they followed.
...
On the other side, Enel’s miserable screams continued without end. His life force was constantly being drained by the separator. His once robust body visibly withered at a visible rate.
After half a minute passed, the screaming finally stopped. In Rorschach’s Observation Haki, Enel no longer had any presence.
The God of Skypiea, who had dominated this sky island, was dead. He died from his arrogance and his narrow worldview.
Just like how CP9 always believed in their Iron Body, Enel died believing in his own power while neglecting his training.
The metal box that had absorbed enough energy suddenly released some gas and began to open up.
A golden-yellow Devil Fruit with strange patterns and lightning-shaped spikes on its skin appeared before everyone.
As Rorschach picked up the Devil Fruit, the separator shattered on the ground.
"Finally got it — the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
Rorschach tossed the fruit in his hand with a wide grin.
After confirming Enel was no longer moving, Karina dispelled the barrier.
Everyone quickly gathered around Rorschach, looking curiously at the Devil Fruit.
"Rorschach, is this really the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?! What was that device just now?"
Karina asked first. She was genuinely curious about the device Rorschach had used to extract Enel’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"Yeah, it’s definitely the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. As for that device, it’s the Devil Fruit Separator that old man Shiki gave me. My Float-Float Fruit was extracted from him right before he died."
Rorschach already had an answer prepared for the girls’ questions.
Yes — just pin everything on Golden Lion Shiki. No one could prove whether it was true or not.
"Devil Fruit Separator?! There’s actually such a miraculous thing in this world? Can technology really do something like that?"
Reiju had broader knowledge, but she had never heard of a Devil Fruit Separator before. Especially since her father was a scientist researching bloodline factors, she was particularly curious about it.
"Hahahaha, technology can do anything. Vegapunk can even create artificial Devil Fruits, and Kaido is working with others on artificial Devil Fruit projects too."
Rorschach laughed and explained artificial Devil Fruits to the others. Since artificial Devil Fruits already existed, creating a Devil Fruit Separator with technology wasn’t impossible.
"Artificial Devil Fruits?!! Then wouldn’t the Navy and Emperor Kaido have endless armies of Devil Fruit users?!"
Mikita exclaimed in shock, sweat forming on her forehead. Having spent most of her time around the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line, her knowledge was very limited.
She had never heard of the things Rorschach mentioned. The terror of an army of artificial Devil Fruit users was beyond her imagination.
"Not quite. Kaido’s artificial Devil Fruits have flaws, and Vegapunk disdains making them. I don’t know the exact details."
"Then how many Devil Fruit Separators does Captain Rorschach have left?"
"This was the last one. They’re not easy to make." freewebnσvel.cøm
"I see... What a shame."
Reiju looked regretful. It made sense — with such a powerful technological device that could freely extract Devil Fruits, Rorschach could have built an army of Devil Fruit users.
Now that they had turned against the World Government, Rorschach would definitely be wanted as a criminal. Her priority was strengthening the crew’s power so they would face fewer dangers on the sea.
"Here~ Nami, this fruit was prepared for you."
Rorschach tossed the fruit over. Nami hurriedly caught it, her expression full of disbelief.
"Rorschach? This Devil Fruit is for me?"
"That’s right. I specifically chose this Devil Fruit for you. Once you eat it, you’ll gain powerful lightning abilities. No one is more suited for this fruit than you."
The power of Enel’s fruit was obvious to everyone. Nami never expected Rorschach to use his only Devil Fruit Separator specifically for her.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Nami didn’t even eat the fruit first. She jumped straight onto Rorschach like a koala, hugged him tightly, and gave him several kisses.
"Alright, alright, eat it already."
Rorschach lovingly patted her head and urged her to eat the Devil Fruit.
Nami nodded, took a bite of the fruit.
Just like Karina, an indescribably strange taste spread through her mouth. She endured the flavor and took another bite.
But Karina had somehow snuck behind Nami. She grabbed the fruit and stuffed it directly into Nami’s mouth, a triumphant smile on her face.
"Hahahaha! You laughed at me back then. I told you that when you eat a Devil Fruit, I’d shove it into your mouth so you could experience the taste too."
Accompanied by Nami’s muffled cries, the Devil Fruit went down. She collapsed to the ground as if her soul had left her body, but quickly stood back up.
"Do you want to kill me?!!"
Nami furiously grabbed Karina’s collar and questioned her, though this was just their usual playful banter.
"What’s the big deal? I went through the same thing," Karina shrugged with a carefree expression, as if to say she had suffered the same fate.
Seeing Karina’s smug look, Nami was furious. But then a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth curved into a strange smile.
A small current of electricity passed through Karina’s body.
"Umm~~~"
A soft moan escaped. Karina grabbed the hem of her skirt, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Nami wore a mischievous grin and turned away, pretending nothing had happened.
Karina’s face burned with shame as she gritted her teeth. She swore that tonight she would make Nami embarrass herself badly in front of Rorschach — even though the two of them embarrassed themselves every day.
Watching the farce in front of him, Rorschach pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. These two rivals never stopped.
