Chapter 204: Giving Devil Fruit
Chapter 204: Giving Devil Fruit
"Oh, so you are Alan." Carmen looked at Alan in front of her with beautiful eyes full of surprise.
However, the two were no longer in the alley, but had walked onto the street, walking side by side.
Carmen was really surprised now. She had already recognized the fat man in front of her, who was more than a little taller than her and even older than her in terms of appearance.
It turned out to be Allen, the once very famous chef in the East China Sea, and also a truly top-level sea warrior. Currently, he is a gluttonous fat chef who has reached the level of admiral, with a bounty of over 100 million, and he is the chef of the Fallen Pirates.
Carmen was really surprised, mainly because although she and Sanji were known as the two strongest and most talented chefs today, a few years ago, if the most talented young chef in the East China Sea was to be found, it would undoubtedly be Alan.
This chef is even several years younger than her and Sanji, but he has already become famous at a young age.
Of course there is still a problem. She is just an ordinary girl. In this sea where the strong are respected, when has she ever seen such a top boss?
It’s really not an exaggeration, the admiral level can be said to be a strong man.
"That's right." Alan said with a smile, still eating the cake made by Carmen.
That's right, he has already taken it and is eating it. As the user of the Taotie Fruit, he is definitely one of the biggest eaters in the team.
"Then why are you here? Are you purchasing supplies?" Carmen couldn't help but ask the "old" senior out of curiosity.
"That's right. We will enter the Grand Voyage tomorrow. That's where we should go." Alan said with a smile. No matter whether he was a strong man or a member of the Fallen Group, he wanted to go to the Grand Voyage and take a look at the New World.
Especially the aunt he had fought before. It is said that she has turned her country into a food paradise. As he loves food and likes to cook delicious food, he naturally wants to go and take a look.
"You guys are so lucky. I heard that Sanji seems to have joined the Straw Hat Pirates. You can all go and take a look at that world." Carmen said enviously.
"You actually want to go too." Alan turned around and smiled.
"Yes, I don't want to be much worse than you. Everyone has something to aspire to. As for my cooking skills, I still have confidence. But in terms of strength, I'm just an ordinary person after all. I'm far worse than you, especially you. I'm just an ordinary person, and you're a general-level warrior." Carmen looked a little depressed when she said this.
She knows herself too well. She is really just an ordinary person, but she is very good at cooking. If she really talks about fighting, Sanji and Alan, who also came from the East China Sea, are also chefs, but they are much better than her.
Carmen didn't know that Sanji was actually from the North Sea, and from a big family, Germa.
But now Carmen, who has self-awareness, knows very well that she, who is not considered a strong person, has no ability to enter the new world.
After hearing this, Alan did have an idea. He didn't say it for now, but he did want to help Carmen by giving her a brothel so that she would have the ability and possibility to become a strong person.
Of course, maybe it was the sympathy in his heart that was at work, he was actually a very nice person.
In addition, he also knew how Kurada helped the Straw Hat Pirates, or how he increased the Straw Hat Pirates' combat effectiveness.
As a chef in the East China Sea, he had heard about the feud between Carmen and Sanji. In the past few years, Carmen was actually the top chef in East China Sea, but was defeated by Sanji a few years ago, so he always wanted to win back. Women have a proud heart.
He also heard that Rogue Town would hold a chef competition in the next few days.
If the Straw Hat Pirates happened to come here and Sanji and Carmen happened to meet, this... would probably be another fate.
But if it was really fate, he really helped Carmen to become a strong person this time, and if things really happened as he wanted, then Carmen might...
By doing this, he was helping his own captain.
If it happens as expected.
"Do you desire to become strong?" Alan asked softly with a smile on his face.
"Of course! Then... do you have a way to make me stronger?" Carmen nodded without thinking, and then came to her senses. When she realized this, she couldn't help but be shocked: Yes, the man next to her is a general-level strongman, who definitely has the ability to make her stronger.
When Carmen thought about the hope of becoming stronger and having the opportunity to enter the great world of navigation and see the even wider world beyond it, her eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, like bright little stars in the night sky.
"Yes, do you know what this is?" Alan said with a smile.
At the same time, like a magic trick, he took out a red fruit that was wrapped in layers of feather-like peel, just like a dragon fruit.
"This... is it the legendary devil fruit?" Carmen's eyes widened, her mouth wide open in surprise, because this was the first time in her life that she had seen this legendary treasure of the sea.
After all, this is the East China Sea, so it's understandable.
Alan chuckled.
"This is the only devil fruit I have. I don't know what kind it is or what abilities it has. If you want it, take it and try your luck to see if you can get a powerful devil fruit ability."
As he spoke, Alan handed the devil fruit to Carmen.
"This... Devil Fruit is too precious. I can't take it away for nothing." Carmen expressed regret and wanted to refuse. For a small character like her in the East China Sea, the Devil Fruit is indeed an invaluable treasure.
However, to be honest, on the ocean after the Great Voyage, especially among the major forces, if one is willing to collect them, one can still collect a lot of devil fruits.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary devil fruits, such as the large number of ordinary parahuman and animal types.
Allen also quickly informed Carmen of this situation. Besides, he knew very well that their team did not need devil fruits at all. He himself did not need one either, after all, he was already a user of the gluttonous fruit.
Therefore, even if this devil fruit is given away, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, this devil fruit was something he accidentally discovered in his fruit storage room recently. He didn't expect that there would be fruits in his warehouse that mutated into devil fruits.
He told this to Kuruda, but Kuruda said that they really didn't need much for devil fruits. So, Kuruda let Allen decide how to deal with this devil fruit.
Allen has always kept this devil fruit in his ring.
"If I really become a strong person in the future, or if I really discover another devil fruit in the future, I will give you one." Finally, Carmen accepted it and said with a firm tone.
At the same time, she took the devil fruit from Alan as if she was holding a precious gem.
"Wait a minute, you should find a secluded place to eat it. There are too many people here. After all, this is a secret treasure of the sea, and the taste of this thing..."
Seeing Carmen was about to take a bite, Alan quickly reached out to stop her. This was the street, with many people around, and she couldn't just eat it like that.
Especially when you don't know what kind of devil fruit it is or what abilities it can gain, it's best to find a deserted place to eat it so that you have time to adapt to the abilities.
And this is not like the unpalatable devil fruit he ate before. If the devil fruit tastes as described, he really doesn't want a beauty like Carmen to embarrass herself on the street, after all, there are still a lot of people around. And he also knows that for a beautiful woman, what she cares most about is often her image.
Carmen nodded obediently, and the two of them immediately came to a secluded place.
With Alan's protection, Carmen confidently opened her cherry-like small mouth and took a bite of the devil fruit.
"Wow, ugh - it really is so disgusting. No, I'm about to vomit my overnight meal, ugh -." After taking a few small bites, Carmen couldn't help but hunch over, holding her stomach with one hand, with a painful expression on her face as if she had eaten shit, and said very ugly.
It turns out that it is absolutely true that devil fruits taste bad.
But luckily, just one bite is enough to gain the ability.
Alan almost laughed out loud, but he was more concerned about the changes taking place in Carmen.
"Huh? This is, ah, I'm on fire." Carmen said in panic, and even couldn't help but use her hands to put out the fire on her body, but the power of the flame not only did not weaken, but burned more and more.
"Flame ability? But the Flame-Flame Fruit has been eaten by Ace, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division. This is either a mythical beast or a superhuman type. After all, among the natural fruits, there should be no devil fruits related to flame ability except the Flame-Flame Fruit."
Alan said as he watched the scene, and he also understood that what Carmen ate was either a parahuman or mythical beast.
It’s hard to say about the natural type. Maybe there really is a fire natural type devil fruit other than the Flame-Flame Fruit.
But the problem is that the only natural-type devil fruit known to have fire-related abilities is the Flame-Flame Fruit.
But then, Carmen's change really shocked him.
Because he could feel that Carmen's physical fitness was improving, this feature was very obvious, an animal-type devil fruit, and the ability to control fire, obviously a mythical beast.
Because only eating animal-type devil fruits can bring an increase in the eater's physical fitness, and the ability to control fire is not possessed by ordinary and ancient species, so it can only be the mythical beast type, which is more precious than the natural type among all devil fruits.
"Put the flame back first." Alan said immediately.
Carmen did so quickly, as she had also slowly adapted to the mastery of her abilities.
The flame was quickly retracted into her body. Fortunately, the flame did not burn her clothes, otherwise a naked beauty would have been born here.
