chapter 45

"Boss…what should we do next?"

Kalina asked as she looked at the silent Dewey.

To be more precise, she wanted to ask what should be done with the fruit.

The goal that she thought was extremely difficult was suddenly achieved, and it appeared before her eyes in such a dreamlike way. This made Kalina feel a little unreal, and her extremely flexible mind was unable to function for a while.

Hearing this, Dewey finally came to his senses, and then said to Kalina: "Kalina, you eat it."

"Huh?!"

Kalina was slightly stunned, then subconsciously pointed at herself and said, "…Let me eat it?"

"Yes, this devil fruit was originally prepared for you, eat it." Dewey nodded.

"I see."

Kalina didn't hesitate at all, she picked up the Dark-Dark Fruit and gently took a bite of the flesh.

After chewing the fruit pulp, Kalina's face suddenly turned purple and she almost vomited on the spot.

Seeing her reaction, Bakara and Dewey's mouth corners subconsciously raised slightly.

Devil fruits taste terrible, this is not fiction, it is true.

But Dewey didn't know whether it tasted as bad as shit, after all, he had never eaten that stuff.

"Just eat one bite and throw the rest away."

Dewey reminded Kalina after she swallowed the fruit with difficulty.

Karina hastily threw away the remaining fruit as if it were something dirty.

"Kalina, have you felt any changes?"

Nami approached Karina and asked curiously.

"...Um!"

Kalina took a deep breath of fresh air, then nodded to Nami and said, "I feel it. It's the power of darkness."

As if hearing her call, black gas emanated from Kalina's body, lingering around her like smoke, turning her temperament into a dark style.

"This ability…"

Looking at the black smoke surrounding Kalina, Bakara seemed to sense something dangerous and her expression changed.

Not only her, but Dewey also felt this way.

The black smoke contains a terrifying gravitational force, which is as bottomless as a black hole. It can transform into a magnet and use the devil fruit ability of the ability user to attract the devouring power.

"Kalina, what is this?"

Nami was also frightened by the black smoke coming out of Kalina's body and quickly took a few steps back.

"This is darkness, just like the boss's flame."

Kalina controlled the black smoke on her body, covering her slender jade-like palms, condensing a small vortex, and then pointed her palm at Dewey.

Then, Karina smiled with a malicious look.

Seeing this expression, Dewey suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could react, he suddenly left the ground and pounced on Kalina.

Perhaps it was because they were unable to control themselves, or perhaps the force was too great, the two of them hugged each other, fell to the ground and rolled several times.

"It hurts so much…"

It was just a normal fall, but Kalina cried out in pain.

"Idiot, who told you to misuse your abilities?"

Dewey protected Kalina's vital parts with both hands, watching her twitching face, and scolded her: "The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit cannot be elementalized, and the pain you will suffer will be doubled. You are already delicate and tender, and if you continue to be so reckless, be careful not to faint from the pain."

"I, I didn't know the pain would double!"

Karina felt like crying but had no tears. She suddenly regretted eating this devil fruit.

"Hurry up and cover the painful area with black smoke. Your ability can absorb the damage." Dewey pulled Kalina up and reminded her.

"oh."

Kalina responded and obediently controlled the black smoke to cover her body, not daring to mess around again.

"Luckily it wasn't me who ate the Dark-Dark Fruit."

After hearing Dewey's words, Nami couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just controlling gravity?"

Bakara stared at Dewey's back meaningfully, thinking to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. Why would he take a natural devil fruit that can't be transformed into an element, doubles the pain, and can only control gravity so seriously? Could this devil fruit have hidden abilities that are not recorded in the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia"? "

"Don't be sad, your ability is not simple. It is known as the most vicious ability in history."

Seeing Karina's regretful look, Dewey smiled and comforted her: "Don't you still believe me? Would your boss spend so much time preparing for a useless devil fruit?"

It is true!

Hearing this, Bakara confirmed his guess that Dewey must know other secrets of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Kalina was also relieved. As a nature-type devil fruit, it had the defects of being unable to transform into elements and doubling the pain. This ability definitely had other powerful aspects.

But Kalina didn't ask immediately because she saw Dewey's look.

This secret must not be known to outsiders.

And this outsider was obviously not Nami.

"Ms. Bacara, thank you very much for your 'luck'."

At night, the sailboat is anchored on the vast ocean.

The sea surface, which had been surging all day, became extremely calm, like a mirror, reflecting the full moon and the starry sky.

On the deck, Dewey and his four companions were grilling dinosaur meat.

They had already left Galt Island and were returning along their original route.

Dewey held a high-heeled glass of red wine in his hand, clinked glasses with Bakara, took a sip, and said sincerely: "Although the time we spent together was very short, I am very happy to meet you. Next, I will send you back to "Gulan Tezulo" safely."

Dewey obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit in a dreamlike way. To be honest, for a moment, he wanted to kill Bakara.

But it has only been less than two years since he traveled through time, and his values ​​are not that distorted yet.

If it had nothing to do with him, perhaps in order to eliminate the trouble once and for all, he would be able to have the heart to kill Bakara.

But the other party had done him a favor, which saved his plan a lot of trouble, and Dewey was not in a position to do such an ungrateful thing.

Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Dewey was still willing to fulfill his promise and send Bakara back.

"You're welcome."

After taking a sip of red wine, Bakara said with a smile: "Although the time I spent with you was very short, these days were definitely the best vacation in my life."
