Chapter 229 Croak~ The Forest Fruit Arrives
Hours later, Samwanai Island in the South China Sea.
Bazel stood at the base of the World Tree, looking up at the increasingly withered and yellow giant tree.
In his left hand he was carrying a paper bag, which seemed to contain something round.
Mwah~~
"Bazaar, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
As soon as he stepped out of the high-pressure bubble, Xiong gave an embarrassed smile.
"No, I was just thinking about something. Xiong, here you go."
The bear hurriedly took the paper bag that Bazel threw to him and opened it.
"This is... a Devil Fruit?"
Bazel nodded in agreement, but his expression showed a hint of helplessness.
This fruit was found by the Wind-Bend Bird.
Several days after he left Rouge's cabin, the Wind Curved Bird suddenly returned, carrying with it the Devil Fruit that exuded a vibrant green color.
Natural Forest Fruit.
After confirming the type of fruit, Bazel was dumbfounded and couldn't even understand how the Wind-Changing Bird had done it.
Didn't he remember that this Devil Fruit was eaten by the future Marine Admiral Aramaki?
How did it end up in my hands?
Moreover, what he wanted was the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, which was very likely to appear in the South China Sea, not the Forest Fruit.
Completely baffled, Bazel simply grabbed the phoenix and used his dream-entering ability to examine its memories.
In those scattered fragments of memory.
Bazel saw countless kingdoms, pirates and the navy, and also message gulls flying everywhere.
But in the end—
He saw the wind phoenix descend from the sky and snatch the Devil Fruit O from the hands of the lewd-looking green-haired boy.
Steal —
When Bazel saw this image, his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
Good heavens, this Devil Fruit was stolen from Huang Mu by Feng Luan!
After learning the origin of the Devil Fruit, Bazel also learned the location of the Abandoned Farm.
However, after careful consideration, they decided to temporarily put aside the idea of recruiting.
Although Aramaki has not yet joined the World Government, nor has he become a Marine Admiral in the Celestial Dragons' faction.
But in his memory, Huang Mu's personality seemed somewhat—
It's not so much a judgment, but rather that the personality of Aramaki in my memory doesn't match Bazel's preferences.
He might consider it if the other party offered themselves to him.
Go out to sea to find —
Let's skip that kind of trouble.
Not to mention that the Forest Fruit is currently in his hands. Without this Logia-type fruit, it's hard to say what Aramu's future achievements will be.
"It's a Logia-type Forest Fruit, not for you."
Before the bear could refuse, Bazel interrupted him.
"It's a gift for the marriage proposal."
「!?」
The bear turned pale and quickly retreated.
"But...but I'm a man, Bazel! Shouldn't you propose to a girl?!"
"idiot!"
Bazel picked up a stone and threw it at the bear, glaring angrily at the tall, timid man.
"It's a gift for you to propose to Ginny!"
"I like women, and I have a girlfriend. Don't get any ideas. It's because of guys like you and Roger, who are both lewd at heart, that my reputation is getting worse and worse!"
"Oh, I see. Hahaha~~"
After a few awkward laughs, the bear decided to return the Devil Fruit.
"But I can't marry Ginny. I'm a Bakania, and if I marry Ginny, she'll definitely be implicated."
Bazel raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you sure that if you choose to propose to Ginny, Ginny will be able to eat this super powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit?"
"Otherwise, I'll have to give it to someone else."
The bear froze, abruptly withdrawing the hand that had offered the Devil Fruit, and scratching its unbearably itchy head with its left hand.
"Think about it, bear."
Bazel's voice became erratic.
"If you marry Ginny, she might become even stronger than you after eating this Devil Fruit."
"This way you can both marry the girl you like and make the girl you like very strong."
"This is a win-win situation!"
The bear looked tempted and swallowed hard: "Then, then Bazel, why don't you just give it to Ginny?"
"
"Me? Why would I do something like that?"
With his right pinky finger picking his nose, Bazel wore a bizarre and incredulous expression.
"If you propose, this Devil Fruit will belong to Ginny, and she will be able to protect herself in the future."
"If you're not willing, then I'll just have to give it to someone else."
"Anyway, Ginny isn't mine. If something happens to her, I'll only shed a few tears. But some people..."
"If Ginny dies in an accident, I'd like to see if someone regrets it."
His right hand unconsciously gripped the paper bag tightly, his eyes filled with conflict.
Xiong knew that the man in front of her was doing this because of Lady Nelly's instructions.
She's been trying to set herself up with Ginny for quite some time now.
Now that her son has returned, he will surely be a help to her.
But~~
Bazel is right. If he were willing to propose, Ginny would definitely become even stronger than him if she ate that Devil Fruit!
"By the way, Bear, I heard..."
Distracted from his train of thought, Xiong instinctively looked at Bazel.
"The Forest Fruit is a fruit with an incredibly powerful life-saving ability; it allows the eater to revive with the help of sunlight and a blade of grass."
"It's one of the representatives of nature's powerful vitality. If Ginny eats this fruit, I probably wouldn't be able to kill her even if I wanted to."
"Bear, do you have a way to kill nature?"
The bear shook its head.
"That's it! This is an amazing opportunity!"
Bazel flew through the air using Moonwalk, stopping at the same height as the bear.
He patted the tall man's shoulder with his right hand and continued his charade.
"Once Ginny eats this Devil Fruit, let alone the South Blue, there probably won't be anyone in the Grand Line who can defeat her."
"And the safety of my mother and the safety of the Kingdom of Solvi can depend on Ginny."
"This is a win-win-win situation!"
goo~
The bear was in a daze, its eyes vacant.
Yes, yes!
This is a win-win-win situation!
With this fruit, I can marry Ginny, whom I love, and she will become stronger. The safety of the kingdom will also be solved!
"But, but, Bazel, what if Ginny doesn't agree?"
Xiong looked worried: "I've rejected Ginny many times before. Will she be very upset and then refuse to marry me?"
"In that case, she definitely won't accept this Devil Fruit."
Seeing that Bear had completely fallen into the trap—cough, under the influence of his own seductive words—Bazel said with a straight face, "How could that be, Bear? When was the last time Ginny proposed to you?"
Last time?
The bear raised its head in thought, and a picture bubble floated out of its head.
"It was the night before I left the Kingdom of Solvi. Before going to sleep, Ginny specially put on her wedding dress and sneaked into my room."
"I kicked him out in the end."
To kick them out?
Bazel remained silent.
This guy isn't just a straight man of steel, he's a straight man of threaded steel.
"So, you've known each other for so long, but you've never done 'that' before, right?"
"That kind of thing?" Xiong asked, confused. "What kind of thing is that?"
Bazel: ————
Oh no, I think I'm getting excited!
It feels so good to fool an innocent girl like that.
"Well, Ginny will teach you this. It's very physically demanding training, but it will make you stronger."
"But this kind of training needs to be done behind closed doors by the two of you. Bear, go ahead and propose!"
"I see~"
The bear still didn't quite understand what kind of training Bazell was talking about.
"Bazel, um~~"
"Could you lend me some pewter? I want to buy a new outfit."
Looking at the bear's embarrassed expression, Bazel shrugged and spread his hands.
"I've run out of money. If all else fails, I'll take you to find some pirate ships."
"Let's exchange those pirate heads for bounties; it'll also help clean up the atmosphere in the South China Sea."
"Anyway, you're not wanted by the World Government, so you can exchange pirates for money later."
The bear could only nod in agreement.
He then looked around and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Bazel, why did you specifically choose this place to tell me all this?"
Bazel raised his hand and patted the trunk of the World Tree: "Because of this, if Ginny eats the Devil Fruit, I want her to try to resurrect the Treasure Tree Adam."
"If all else fails, we'll accept the possibility of germinating saplings."
"Given sufficient nutrition and Ginny's abilities, we might be able to cultivate a World Tree that rivals the one in the New World, Elbaf, in the shortest possible time!"
"When that time comes, the Kingdom of Solvi will be able to reside ten thousand meters in the sky; that will be the most magnificent sight!"
