Chapter 407: What an amazing Devil Fruit ability!
"Hey, you guys, stop messing around."
Sanji, who was in the kitchen, called out, "I've made the sashimi, come in and eat!"
"profound!"
Upon hearing that the food was ready, Luffy and his crew's eyes immediately lit up. They then jumped off the cloud that Nami had created and rushed towards the kitchen.
"Let's eat!"
"Delicious sashimi~"
"beautiful....
'
"Huh?"
Seeing the empty plates, Mei and the others were stunned.
Sanji, with his back to them, didn't notice anything amiss and continued stirring the soup with his ladle.
"Let's eat that first," Sanji said without turning his head. "It's sashimi made with deep-sea fish, and it tastes pretty good."
"Where is it?" Luffy asked, puzzled.
"It's on the plate, I just put it there."
"We did see the plate, but..." Usopp said with a frown, "there's no sashimi like you mentioned."
"Yeah, Sanji."
Meili, with her head held high, said, "I don't see any sashimi."
"How is that possible?"
Sanji, having put down his spoon, frowned and turned to say, "I was just now..."
'
"?!"
Sanji was stunned when he saw the empty plate, then said in disbelief, "Where did it go?"
"Tch..."
'
"Sanji, are you kidding us?"
"How is that possible!"
Sanji retorted, "How could I joke about something like that?"
"Oh... I see, you ate it, right!"
"It wasn't us," Usopp shook his head and said, "We didn't see the sashimi you mentioned when we came in."
"Who else could it be but you guys?" Sanji said speechlessly.
It can't be that a ghost appeared and ate this thing, can it?
Chopper, as if struck by a sudden realization, exclaimed, "Could it be... could this also be one of Mobejamru's strange phenomena?!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present all changed.
Is this sea area really that terrifying?
Just then, the large pot of soup behind Sanji was suddenly overturned, and all the food inside disappeared.
"?!"
"Where did the food in my pot go?!" Sanji exclaimed in disbelief.
Could it really be caused by that strange phenomenon?
"It's happening! It's a strange phenomenon!" Chopper exclaimed in horror.
"No, there's something in that pot!" Mary exclaimed, her eyes wide as she watched the figure escape from the pot. "Is it a bug?"
"How could an insect possibly eat so much?"
"You wretched insect, how dare you eat my food!" Luffy roared. "Stop right there!"
After saying that, Luffy dashed over and slammed his hand on the stove, almost shattering it.
"Hello!"
Sanji bristled and said, "Luffy, you idiot, are you planning to smash the stove to pieces?"
After grabbing Luffy's mouth, Sanji opened his shark-like jaws and roared, "If the stove gets smashed, we won't be able to cook!"
"I'm...I'm sorry..."
'
"Sanji, now is not the time to dwell on this," Usopp said. "The most important thing right now is..."
'
Before Usopp could finish speaking, he discovered that the basket that had just been filled with fruit was now empty.
Usopp: ? ? ?
What the hell?
"Where's the fruit?" Mary asked, dumbfounded.
How come the thing disappeared without me noticing for a moment?
"That wretched bug!" Luffy said, annoyed.
"Luffy, it's gone outside!"
"Damn it, don't run away!"
Sanji, watching Luffy and Chopper leave, rubbed his temples and said, "I have a bad feeling..."
'
"What do you mean?"
Sanji did not answer Merry's question, but instead turned around and went to the refrigerator and opened it.
Sanji: !!!
Sanji was stunned when he saw the empty refrigerator.
"The fridge is empty too!"
"What?"
"What about my juice?" Mary asked excitedly.
"That's all gone too..." Sanji's lips twitched. "All the juice and drinks are gone."
Upon hearing this, Mary immediately flew into a rage, turned around, and rushed outside, shouting, "Damn it, I won't let it get away with this!"
I was just thinking about enjoying a nice glass of orange juice with my meal, but it's all gone... I'm so annoyed!
"What's wrong with you guys?" Nami asked, puzzled.
Why are these guys all making such a racket after they came out?
Also, why is Luffy carrying a net for catching dragonflies?
"A bug monster has appeared!" Chopper exclaimed. "It ate the food Sanji made for us!"
"ha?"
Nami looked at Chopper with a face full of question marks, wondering what all this was all about.
What kind of insect monster?
Perona, however, showed a look of fear. A bug monster?
Could it be a cockroach demon...?
With that thought in mind, Perona carefully moved behind Zoro and hid herself.
"Not just the food," Mary said, "even the juice and drinks are gone."
"What?!"
Zoro immediately flew into a rage upon hearing that the sake was gone.
"You despicable thief!" Luffy shouted, "Give me back my food!"
"You actually called me a thief?"
Lily, who was about to run away, looked up and said, "I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
"I only ate a little bit of what was left there."
"There really is an unfamiliar voice..."
'
Nami stood up, staring at the deck in disbelief, and said, "Could there really be insect monsters?"
Is this also a unique feature of this sea area?
"How could there possibly be any insect monsters?"
west Yan put down the book in his hand, jumped down from the highest point of the pirate ship, landed next to Nami, and said, "It's just a special race."
"A special race?"
"Um.
""
west Yan nodded and said, "A human who looks very small."
"How did you know?" Luffy asked in surprise.
west Yan: "Can't you use Observation Haki to see?" west Yan said speechlessly.
The other party's aura is quite obvious.
Upon hearing this, all the domineering people present fell silent.
Yes, why don't they look at it with an imposing air?
"So where is that guy?" Brooke asked, puzzled.
"It's on you."
Brooke: ? ? ?
What does "on him" mean?
"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly." Lily, who popped out of Brooke's pocket, looked up at Xi Yan and said, "You're quite the guy."
After saying that, Lily quickly jumped off Brooke and ran towards the side of the boat.
"Oh no, it's trying to escape!" Luffy, who had used his Observation Haki to detect Lily's movements, shouted, "Stop her!"
"They're here!"
Franky, who was right in Lily's path, raised his hand and threw a punch.
"How could you possibly defeat me!" Lily shouted.
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and punched Franky's fist, sending him flying back.
Franky: ? ? ?
Others: ? ? ?
Is the opponent really that strong?
"He actually sent Franky flying in one hit!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise. "That insect monster is amazing!"
"I already said it's not an insect monster..." west Yan said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know what race the little guy was, he knew it was at least humanoid.
After shaking his head, west Yan vanished from the spot in an instant.
When they reappeared, they were already on the path Lily had taken when she left.
"Damn it, I can't let you stop me here..." Lily said.
She has a father she needs to save, so she absolutely cannot be caught!
With that in mind, Lily decisively activated her Devil Fruit ability.
"Try this on me, you lot!"
"Buzz~"
The next moment, Lily's body underwent a huge change under the effect of the Devil Fruit, and in a few breaths she turned into a giant over ten meters tall!
"Wow...it's so big!"
"That's amazing!"
Sanji, with blood gushing from his nose, exclaimed, "That's amazing, Miss Titan!"
west Yan:
west Yan dodged the nosebleed by sidestepping, his lips twitching slightly. Why was this guy still like this?
"So it really is a human." Nami said in surprise, looking at the enlarged Lily. "Then how did she shrink just now?"
Nico Robin thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "It must be because he ate a Devil Fruit that allows him to grow bigger and smaller."
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the other party could grow so big.
"Who cares, as long as it's not an insect demon," Perona said.
After saying that, Perona flew into the air and flew towards Lily.
"?"
Lily was stunned when she saw Perona flying into the air.
Why can this person fly?
With that in mind, Lily decided to ask.
Before she could even speak, several negative ghosts flew out from behind Perona.
Lily: !!!
"scare!"
"A ghost...a phantom?!"
Lily's face turned pale when she saw the ghosts that had suddenly appeared.
"I don't know what's wrong with you, but you'd better lie down obediently!" Perona shouted, "Negative Specter!"
"Buzz~"
"Forehead....
'
Lily's body shuddered as the negative ghost passed through her, and she knelt on the ground with a pessimistic expression, her body shrinking to just a few centimeters.
"I actually stole someone else's food, I'm such an idiot..."
"
"Halaharahara~"
Seeing the girl she had defeated in one move, Perona burst into laughter.
"Now you know how powerful I am, huh?!"
"Her body is amazing."
Looking at Lily, whose body had suddenly shrunk to a tiny size, Melly leaned closer and said, "When she grows up, she's like a giant, but when she shrinks, she's only a few centimeters tall."
"really."
west Yan stroked his chin and muttered, "It looks like a figurine."
I just don't know if this guy is a giant who ate the shrinking fruit or a dwarf who ate the growing fruit.
A moment later...
"what!"
Lily, now back to normal, immediately stood up, glaring at Perona with shame and indignation, and said, "You... what have you done?!"
"Halaharahara~"
"This is just to teach you a lesson," Perona said with a laugh.
As a pirate, not killing the other party outright is already quite polite!
Lily was even angrier when she heard this. What did this guy mean?!
"You're quite the pervert," Li Fei said, leaning closer to Lily. "You keep changing size, sometimes big, sometimes small!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
After sensing that Li Fei meant no harm, Lily put down the fork she had just raised and said, "Because I am a giant who ate the Giant-Giant Fruit, that's why I can grow big."
"Giants?" Usopp looked at Lily in surprise and said, "You're actually a giant?"
They didn't expect to see giants again.
"Yes."
Lily nodded and said, "My current size is the normal size after eating the fruit. Later, there will be a five-millimeter form and a giant form from Hailai."
"I can transform into these three forms."
As she spoke, Lily demonstrated her Devil Fruit ability to everyone.
"Normal size..." west Yan said, stroking his chin, "As a giant, shouldn't your normal size be in giant form?"
Why is it a few centimeters in size?
"I don't know about that," Lily shook her head and said, "Ever since I ate this Devil Fruit bowl, this is what my normal state has become."
"To grow bigger, you need to expend energy to recover."
Although I don't know what happened, this is indeed her current state.
"Then her abilities should be similar to Rifei's," Usopp said. "Rifei's body is always in a rubber state, isn't it?"
Therefore, it's not surprising that the other party is in this situation.
This time, west Yan simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
After all, Devil Fruits are incredibly diverse, so it's not surprising that they can have all sorts of abilities.
"You're so funny~" Li Fei grinned, "And you're really good at it too. You're so small, yet you can send Franky flying with just one punch."
"Because I'm a giant," Lily laughed. "Even though I've shrunk, my strength is still that of a giant."
As she spoke, Lily walked over to Li Fei, lifted him up, and said, "Look, I'm really strong!"
"Being gay is fun, hahaha~"
Nico Robin, who had been observing everyone's interaction, smiled and said, "Looks like they've completely forgotten about the food being eaten."
Nami felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this, but since Li Fei and the others didn't care, what else could she say?
"What else can you do?" Frankie asked curiously.
"Of course!"
After Lily lowered the Li Fei jar into the well, she gave a thumbs-up and said, "I have another amazing skill!"
"What special skill?"
"After transforming into a well, I'll infiltrate the enemy's body, then grow larger again and burst them apart!" Lily said.
"?!"
"!!"
As if a certain image had flashed through their minds, Usopp and Chopper immediately hugged each other, their expressions turning astonished.
No way!
They don't want to burst from being stuffed!
Lily looked at Chopper and Usopp with a puzzled expression. What was wrong with these two?
"You can actually do something like that?" Li Fei grinned, "Then maybe I can become a giant too."
Speaking of which... west Yan turned into a giant when he was with Moria, right?
Everyone was so envious of him back then!
I just don't know if I'll have the chance to experience it this time.
After hearing Luffy's words, Lily looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
What does it mean that he also has a chance to become a giant?
"Lifei is a rubber man," Nami said, tugging at Lifei's face. "So he won't burst from being stretched out like that; he'll just grow bigger along with you."
"Is such a thing even possible?"
Lily looked surprised, then went to Li Fei's side and tugged at his skin before exclaiming, "It's actually real! How interesting!"
She really didn't expect that there would be such an interesting Devil Fruit ability in this world.
"Beautiful lady~" Sanji, lying on the ground, looked at Lily with hearts in his eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"Ah~"
"I forgot to introduce myself," Lily laughed. "My name is Lily Ernstmark."
"Nickname: Gluttonous Lily!"
"I have a huge appetite!"
"Lily, huh~"
Hearing Lily's explanation, Sanji smiled even more broadly.
"What a weird-sounding name!"
"Thanks!"
"Sister Lily," Melly asked Lily curiously, "why are you on our ship?"
'
"Of course it's because of you guys," Lily said helplessly. "I was originally waiting for someone on the sea in a bottle, but you guys swept me away when you came out of the water."
"Waiting for someone?"
Nami and Nico Robin exchanged a glance, then asked疑惑地问道, "In a place like this... who are you waiting for?"
Could it be that the other party is Chongya's partner or family member?
Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked so much to wait for someone in the Unhappy Sea.
"Who else could we be waiting for?" Lily laughed. "Of course, it's for my old man..."
She froze mid-sentence, then exclaimed in disbelief, "Yes, my old man!"
"Damn it, now's not the time to do this!"
"Hey, calm down!" Chopper stared dumbfounded at Lily, whose head had suddenly grown larger. "Your head and body are out of proportion!"
"Lily, what's wrong?"
"The bottle I was riding in is all broken, how am I supposed to stay calm?!" Lily said, looking utterly devastated. "I finally got here after all the twists and turns between warships, but now I can't get to Daddy's place..."
'
As she spoke, Lily burst into tears. What should she do?
"A warship?" west Yan asked in surprise, "Is your father perhaps a pirate?"
"Why can't it be the navy?"
Hearing Mei Li's words, west Yan gave a helpless look and said, "If her father really were a navy officer, would she need to be so secretive?"
"So his father was most likely a pirate or someone who was captured."
"Oh~"
Meili looked enlightened and said, "So that's how it is!"
No wonder the other party is searching for his father like this; it turns out the other party is a pirate.
"I didn't know your father was a pirate too," Franky said. "What kind of person was he?"
Upon hearing this, Lily seemed to have triggered some key phrase and immediately calmed down.
Then, she said with a proud look, "My dad is the number one pirate chef in the New World!"
"A pirate chef?"
Sanji's eyes lit up as if he had just remembered something, and he asked, "Lily, what's your dad's name?"
'
"Panze Frye!"
"What, you know him?" Usopp asked curiously.
"Yes, I've heard that name before," Sanji nodded and said.
How could a chef not know Panz Fry?
"~"
"Is your father that famous?" Li Feiwan asked curiously.
"Of course!"
Lily proudly raised her head and said, "My dad is a celebrity when it comes to volcano cuisine!"
"Volcano cuisine?"
"What is that? Are you going to eat it?"
"Is that even a question?!" Lily exclaimed, drooling. "Just thinking about it is..."
'
"Eat it this way, even if it's so crooked..."
"
Li Fei subconsciously swallowed and asked, "What kind of dish is it?"
"Use the dreamlike spice, crystallized salt, which only grows near volcanoes, to marinate the sea monster meat!" Lily said. "After making the bowl, simply place the marinated sea monster meat into the volcanic pool."
"The taste...the taste was amazing!"
"Is just crystallized salt enough?" Sanji asked curiously.
"Ordinary crystallized salt definitely won't work," Lily shook her head and said, "The kind of crystallized salt I'm talking about took many years to form in the cracks of rocks, and its effects are far superior to ordinary crystallized salt."
O
"I see."
No wonder just a little bit of crystallized salt made the other party feel so impressed; it turns out this crystallized salt has such a significant background.
He had never tasted anything like this before.
"I feel like Wanwan is going to eat it!" Li Fei said with gleam in his eyes.
"That's not even the most outrageous thing to eat!" Lily exclaimed, drooling. "The most outrageous thing is a risotto for a thousand people, made by putting all sorts of rare ingredients into a frying pan filled with rice, and then baking it in the crater of a volcano!"
"Just one bite... and you'll feel like you're in a dream!"
"It felt like running through a sea of flowers in heaven!"
"Sounds delicious in Taiwan!" Li Fei said. "I'd love to try it, heavenly cuisine!"
That must taste amazing!
"Is it really that complicated?" west Yan asked in surprise.
Isn't being in a dream a bit too far-fetched?
"Of course I'll eat it," Lily said. "You'll understand once you actually taste the dishes my dad makes."
'
Lily froze before she could finish speaking, then exclaimed in disbelief, "No, that's not what we're talking about right now!"
"What should I do, my old man!"
west Yan:
Seeing Lily's head spinning again, west Yan's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Didn't you say that yourself?"
Is this guy an idiot?
"I've heard rumors about Panz Frye," Nico Robin said. "He's said to be a pirate who frequently steals food from the World Government, the Navy, and other pirates."
"However, he didn't steal the food for himself, but to make delicious meals for those who were starving."
"And...this person even enjoys it."
Upon hearing this, Li Fei and the others were stunned.
"This...this is...a hero!"
"Hehe, heroes and all that..." Lily said somewhat awkwardly, "How awkward is that~"
"My dad..."
'
"?"
"wrong!"
"Now is not the time for belittling!" Lily exclaimed, grabbing her enormous head. "My goodness!"
Seeing Lily's bewildered expression, west Yan was immediately rendered speechless.
This guy is definitely an idiot.
"Bend, bend," Nami said. "I know you're anxious, but there's no use being anxious now."
"So please tell us about the situation first."
Upon hearing this, Lily, who was in the middle of catching the world, paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
"Just two weeks ago, my father suddenly disappeared," Lily said. "In order to find him, I went to many islands to gather information, and finally found out in the newspaper that my father had been taken to the underwater prison."
"That's when I found out that my dad had been captured by the Navy."
"The fake underwater surveillance..."
'
Upon hearing this, Li Fei frowned. That wasn't some winding place.
Chopper asked in confusion, "Isn't your dad a hero? Why was he taken there?"
He heard from west Yan that it was pirate territory.
But why was the hero taken there?
"To ordinary people, he is indeed a hero, but not to the World Government," west Yan said. "After all... he's a pirate."
"How could this be..."
'
Chopper's expression was rather unpleasant. Was it just because he was a pirate?
"Yes, my dad's a pirate," Lily said. "And a really big one at that, with a bounty of 32 million Berries!"
"It actually surpasses the Third Hall Pele!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise. "Really?"
This can truly be called a great pirate.
"Really," Lily nodded and said, "Maybe it's because of the things Dad did; he's become like this without me even realizing it."
"So how did you get here?" Perona asked curiously. "I remember you just said you were sitting in a bottle?"
"I wasn't sitting in a bottle before I came here," Lily said helplessly. "It's just that because of the torrential rain, my ship was destroyed, so I had to use a bottle to wait."
Although the risk of death was extremely high, she could not back down because of it.
After all... that's her father!
"Wow!"
Franky burst into tears and said, "What a good man who is so devoted to his father!"
This is exactly the kind of guy he likes best!
Thinking of this, Franky cried even harder.
"You must have had a hard time," Nami said.
"It's nothing," Lily shook her head and said, "It's nothing compared to rescuing Dad."
"But the person was taken to the Great Undersea Prison..." Zoro frowned and said, "That place is no joke."
"Yes," Li Fei nodded in agreement, "That place is extremely dangerous; I almost died there myself."
Having personally experienced those events, Li Fei knew very well just how dangerous the underwater surveillance was.
"The Great Supervisor of the Undersea..."
Recalling the scene that happened two years ago, west Yan's face showed a hint of emotion.
I wonder if Magellan is dead or not.
"I'm not going there," Lily said, shaking her head.
"What about your old man?" Franky asked, dumbfounded.
Did he misjudge this guy?
"It'll definitely be Ya who rescues them," Lily said. "But my dad didn't go to the underwater palace, so I don't need to go there to rescue them."
"What do you mean?"
"When I infiltrated the warship earlier, I heard the sounds of the navy escorting my father," Lily said. "They'll be passing through the Mobejamru waters soon, so I can just wait for them here."
"So... the Navy is heading this way?!" Brooke exclaimed.
"Yes."
Lily clenched her fists and said, "That's why I'm determined to rescue my dad!"
She rescued her father before he was taken to the underwater prison!
"Lily...."
'
Seeing Lily's determined expression, the Straw Hat Pirates' expressions became somewhat complicated.
"I'm sorry, everyone, for causing you trouble," Lily said.
After saying that, Lily paused for a moment, then continued, "By the way, you guys are pirates too, right? So you'd better leave here quickly, or you'll run into the Marines and be in big trouble."
"And what about you?" Mary asked instinctively.
"I can't very well trouble you all to wait here with me," Lily said with a smile. "So just give me an empty bottle, and I can wait for them inside it."
Even though she might die here, she was willing to risk it all for her father!
"Sister Lily..."
'
Mei pursed her lips, then looked up at Li Fei.
Seeing this, the others also looked at Li Fei to see what he was thinking.
"Lily," Li Fei said, "let me help you."
"?"
Why?
"Because I want to eat that!" Li Fei said, his eyes shining. "I want to eat the heavenly cuisine that only Lily's father can make!"
"Besides, your father is a hero," Usopp laughed, "so we'd be happy to help you."
"That's right!"
Merry and Chopper shouted with laughter, "We'd love to meet the hero too!"
"But...but what if this...?"
"Don't worry about that, Miss Lily," Sanji said with a smile.
Nami chuckled and said, "After all, that's what Li Fei said, hahaha~"
"If I didn't help out here, I wouldn't live up to my reputation as a pervert!" Franky shouted, "Super!"
As he spoke, Franky struck his signature pose.
"Yohohohoho~"
"Then let's all come at once!" Brooke said with a smile.
"I didn't expect to have to fight the Marines so soon after arriving in the New World," Zoro grinned. "I really wish there was a strong swordsman among them."
"Halaharahara~"
Hearing Zoro's words, Perona laughed and said, "I'm getting a little impatient too~"
I didn't get enough of those weaklings last time!
"Then let's just go with the flow," west Yan grinned. "Let's see how the navy is in the New World."
"It seems everyone thinks the same way," Nicole Robin laughed.
"Are you serious?"
Looking at everyone's smiling faces, Lily's eyes welled up with tears.
"Okay, leave it to us!"
"Everyone....
'
Seeing Lily's tears, Li Fei grinned and said, "But after rescuing Lily's father, Jing, Koya let me eat my fill of volcanic cuisine!"
"The core of the jar!"
Lily wiped away her tears, then laughed loudly and replied, "I'll definitely let you eat your fill!"
"Yoshi~"
After receiving confirmation of the missing well, Li Fei smiled even more broadly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Brothers... let's go save Heavenly Cuisine!"
"profound!!"
"You're Lily's father, you bastard!"
Hahaha~
