Chapter 246: Artificial Devil Fruit?
"Hmm? Where is the ancestor? Why haven't we seen him?"
Compared to the eldest prince's reaction, Caroline turned her gaze to Enel and Slade ahead, and her voice became slightly louder.
Caroline's words drew everyone's attention. Instead of focusing on the surrounding equipment, everyone moved to the center of the stone chamber and looked at Enel.
"The captain and that old man are in that stone chamber. Everyone, don't worry, just wait here!"
"Meow!!!"
Enel, sensing everyone's gaze, put down the half-eaten apple in his hand, then pointed to the stone chamber behind him and slowly said...
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Enel's words, Caroline frowned slightly, then took a step forward.
Hey!
Stab it!
But just as Caroline took a step, a bolt of lightning exploded beneath her feet, abruptly halting her advance.
choke!
"What are you doing, you bastard!"
Enel's actions were completely observed by the eldest prince, who, in the instant the lightning exploded, pointed his silver-white spear at Enel.
"Huh? Are you going to attack me?"
Crackling sounds!
Facing the sharp spear tip, Enel's lips curled into a slight smile, his hands crackling with sky-blue lightning.
"Big brother! Stop!"
Just as tensions were about to rise, Caroline, who had been stopped, raised her hand to block the eldest prince, and then said to Enel in a deep voice...
"Why are you stopping me? This is the Temple of the Titans! It's not a place for you to run wild! If you offend the Ancestor, you will all die!"
Caroline knew the eldest prince was no match for the man before her, which was why she stepped in front of him. But she couldn't rest easy until she saw her ancestor.
"Tch! Boring!"
Enel glanced at Caroline, who was standing in front of him, his expression returning to its usual stoic state. He withdrew the lightning from his hands, uttered a soft remark, and then fell silent.
Enel wasn't incapable of hitting women, but this woman seemed to be exchanging flirtatious glances with his captain. Such a troublesome woman was best left to the captain.
As Enel's voice faded, the entire stone chamber fell silent. Everyone remained quiet except for Belinda, who was constantly flipping through books on a table beside a piece of equipment.
However, compared to the relaxed and carefree atmosphere of everyone on the Freedom, Caroline and the eldest prince stared solemnly at the stone chamber ahead.
a long time!
Snapped!
Hey!
With the crisp sound of a book closing, Caroline finally couldn't contain herself any longer and resolutely took a step forward.
Stab it!
"Hey! Kid! Don't mess with a little girl. If you want to fight, I'll fight you!"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Just as a bolt of sky-blue lightning was about to strike Caroline's head, a voice suddenly came from the stone chamber ahead, followed by crisp footsteps.
"whispering sound!"
As the sound rang out, Enel glanced towards the stone chamber, raised his hand, and with a gentle wave, the lightning above Caroline's head vanished instantly.
"Hahaha! You little brat, you're still so reckless! You don't act like a princess at all!"
An elderly man, over eight meters tall, emerged from the stone chamber with a smile, looking at Caroline with affection in his eyes.
"Hmph! I never wanted to be a princess. It was you, Ancestor, who insisted on confining me to Tiger God Island. If you hadn't given Father a strict order not to let me leave, I would have had Dick take me out to sea long ago!"
Upon seeing the old man, Caroline's worried expression vanished instantly, but after hearing his words, her face immediately filled with displeasure.
"Hahaha! Didn't I tell you? When the right time comes, I will let you set sail. There's no need to rush!"
The old man slowly walked to Caroline's side, raised his hand to pat her head, and said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Caroline turned her head away haughtily, but did not dodge the old man's hand, letting him place it on her head.
At this moment, compared to Caroline's expression upon seeing the old man, everyone else looked on with curiosity. However, when they saw Mu Chong following behind the old man, their expressions instantly turned to joy.
"Hoo! Garcia Nol, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Garcia! Greetings, Ancestor!"
Upon seeing the old man, the eldest prince tensed up, took a deep breath, and immediately stepped forward to bow in respect.
"No need, no need! Noel? Your father brought you here when you were born. I can't believe you've grown up so fast!"
When the old man saw Noel with his luggage, his smile widened, making the wrinkles on his already etched face even more pronounced.
"captain!"
"captain!"
Slad and the others ignored what was happening around them and instead shouted at Mu Chong, who had walked to the side.
"Hmm! Is everything going smoothly?"
Mu Chong smiled as he looked at the crowd before him. When he saw that everyone was there, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly began to speak.
"Hey, Captain! With me, Slard, here, how could anything go wrong? Everyone's safe and sound! How about that? Reliable or not?"
Mu Chong's words prompted Slade, who was standing to the side, to immediately complain, "Good grief, he's questioning my abilities to my face?"
"Hehehe! Of course! Don't you see who chose the navigator?"
Slad's reaction prompted Mu Chong to nod slightly, and he then directly acknowledged Slad's stance.
"Huh? Captain! Why do I feel like this isn't a compliment?"
Mu Chong's words startled Slad for a moment, and he immediately spoke up. At that moment, the people next to him covered their mouths and burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! It's not important, it's not important!"
"Hey? Captain! What are you holding? Why does this fruit look so much like a Devil Fruit?"
Just then, Aisha suddenly walked up to Mu Chong in the crowd and curiously examined the peculiar fruit in Mu Chong's right hand.
This fruit looks a lot like an apple, but its skin is covered with concentric brown spiral patterns, while the rest of the skin is milky white, and there is a black vine attached to the fruit.
As Elsa asked her question, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the fruit, even Caroline and the other two turned to look.
"Yes! This is indeed a Devil Fruit, but it's an artificial one!"
"hiss!"
"What?!"
"Artificial Devil Fruit?"
"Captain! Can the legendary Devil Fruit be artificially created?"
Mu Chong's words caused everyone around to gasp in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief as they stared intently at the Devil Fruit. Baku even spoke up directly.
"Hahaha! That's right! Devil Fruits can indeed be artificially created! However, it requires an extremely complex manufacturing process and a very high level of mastery of a certain technology! Creating an artificial Devil Fruit is extremely difficult!"
Before Mu Chong could answer, the old man beside him spoke first! Then, the old man walked to Mu Chong's side and looked at him.
"Kid! I've already given you the artificial Devil Fruit, aren't you going to let it eat it?"
"Hey! Are you sure this artificial Devil Fruit is really as flawless as you say? From what I know, even the slightest flaw in an artificial Devil Fruit can cause problems for the user!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, a look of seriousness flashed across Mu Chong's eyes. He then looked intently at the old man and said in a deep voice...
"Boy! Are you questioning my abilities? Hmph! My research on bloodline factor technology is quite advanced. Creating an artificial Devil Fruit is just a matter of taking a little more time, provided the conditions are right!"
"Moreover, Garcia Dal, the first guardian deity of the Garcia Kingdom, only became human after eating my artificial Devil Fruit!"
