Chapter 35 Spike Shaggy

After discovering that Lily had taken the devil fruit from the little girl, the scorpions rioted and pounced on Lily like a black wave.

But this attack had no effect on Lily. Lily's eyes condensed, and like a storm, her domineering aura surged in all directions. For this simple-minded creature that followed the biological trend and instinct to avoid harm, domineering aura was the best means of attack. Lily controlled her domineering aura accurately and perfectly avoided the little girl and the amethyst scorpion in her hand, while the other poisonous scorpions all fell on their backs to the ground, their lives unknown.

"Ah!" Seeing this scene, the little girl finally reacted, but she ignored Lily who was standing in front of her, and hurried to check the group of scorpions lying on the ground.

Lily observed the little girl with great interest. Her eagerness was definitely not pretended. From the information fed back by Lily's Observation Haki, the little girl regarded these poisonous scorpions as family members. Thinking of the skeletons in the village, Lily suddenly wanted to find out the truth even more.

After checking with the little girl and the crystal scorpion, they found that all the scorpions on the ground had fainted, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you! Why are you stealing the holy objects!" the little girl pointed at Lily and shouted, but judging from her slightly trembling calves, she was just bluffing. Lily's maternal love suddenly burst out at this cute girl who looked terribly scared but still holding on, and she wanted to hold her in her arms and rub against her, so Lily prepared to tease her again.

"Hasn't anyone taught you to tell your own name before asking others' names?" Lily said, holding the devil fruit in her left hand across her chest and supporting her chin with her right hand.

"My name is Xia Ji, Spike Xia Ji, I'm eight years old, and this is Zi Zi. Okay, I've finished talking, it's your turn." Xia Ji said, looking up at Lily with her neck stretched out.

"Oh, Xia Ji, Zi Zi, not bad, but why should I tell you my name?" Lily smiled slightly.

"You just said it! You should say your own name before asking someone else's name. I said it's your turn!" Xia Ji immediately became anxious when she heard Lily's words. This guy is cheating!

"But I didn't say that if you tell me your name, I have to tell you, right?"

"You!" Xia Ji was stunned. The other party seemed to have said nothing, but Xia Ji was still angry and shouted, "This is not fair!"

"It's fair. I saved your life and then found out your name. Isn't that fair? Oh, it's really unfair. I seem to have suffered a loss. A life in exchange for a name. Oh, I seem to have suffered a big loss." Lily leaned over and looked at Xia Ji with a sarcastic smile.

"Why did you save my life!" Xia Ji jumped up angrily. The tall man in front of her was too shameless. Not only did he steal the holy object, but he also lied to her, his name, and his lifesaver. He was full of lies.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Do you know what this is?" Lily looked at Xia Ji, whose face turned red with anger, and shook the devil fruit in her hand.

"This is a holy object! It is the holy object guarded by Zi Zi and the others!" Xia Ji said, pointing at the devil fruit.

"Maybe, but the scientific name of this thing is Devil Fruit. It's a secret treasure of the sea and a treasure that countless people dream of." Lily gently turned the devil fruit in her hand. She had already recognized the name of the fruit in her hand. She didn't expect to find the target before reaching the Sasalili Islands. Now she can return directly. Then Lily glanced at Xia Ji in front of her. It seemed that she was also getting a buy one get one free deal this time.

"So what! This is the holy object that Zi Zi and the others gave me! Give it back!" Xia Ji jumped and reached out to grab the fruit in Lily's hand. Unfortunately, she was only 1.6 meters tall, so there was no way she could snatch the thing from Lily's hand, even if Lily bent over. At this moment, Lily suddenly made a move and grabbed the thing flying towards her. Looking closely, it was the tail hook of a poisonous scorpion. At this time, Xia Ji had also changed her appearance. Her arms and body were covered with shells, her hands turned into scorpion claws, and a scorpion tail stretched out from behind. Her face did not change much, but two arthropod claws appeared in her mouth. In addition to her own two feet, the other six scorpion feet grew from the back and were held in the abdomen.

"Oh my, the little guy is angry." Lily grabbed the scorpion's tail in her hand, feeling the pull in her hand. Among the animal-type devil fruits, except for the unreasonable mythical beasts, if you really talk about it, the benefits of insect fruits are the greatest. For example, everyone knows that rabbits have good jumping ability, but in the same size, not to mention fleas, the jumping ability of grasshoppers is far better than that of rabbits, and many insects have special abilities, such as weaving webs, flying, poisonous, etc. It can be said that, excluding the mythical beasts, the insect devil fruits are the best among the animal-type devil fruits.

"Let go! Let go!" Xia Ji, who originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, didn't want to be counterattacked. Now, she was in pain from being pulled forward, but she couldn't see when she turned back, so she could only turn sideways to face Lily, grimacing in pain and shouting. This was the one disadvantage of the insect fruit that was not considered a disadvantage. If it was in beast form, let alone having its tail pulled, even if it was cut off, Xia Ji would at most feel a little pain, which would grow back after a while. However, in orc form, she retained a part of a human mammal. Now Xia Ji was like a cat with its tail pulled. However, this was also related to her unskilled use. If she was skilled, Xia Ji in orc form could ignore the pain of her tail like in beast form.

"Sure enough, you have eaten the devil fruit." Lily pulled it twice with evil humor, looked at Xia Ji who was in pain, smiled and let go of her hand.

After seeing Lily let go, Xia Ji immediately changed back to human form, then squatted down and rubbed her buttocks, or coccyx.

"So what?" Although her face was red with pain and her eyes were filled with tears, Xia Ji still shouted stubbornly.

"Didn't your scorpion friend tell you? You can't eat two devil fruits, otherwise it will explode." Lily squatted down and looked at Xia Ji and said slowly.

"Hey!" "Click!" Xia Ji and Zi Zi above her head were all stunned. No one taught Xia Ji, and naturally no one taught these poisonous scorpions either. This devil fruit had been stranded on this island for hundreds of years and had always been regarded as a sacred object by the poisonous scorpions on the island. Because it was hidden in the ground by the poisonous scorpions and the island was remote, no one had discovered this fruit in hundreds of years until Xia Ji, who had accidentally eaten the devil fruit, made friends with the poisonous scorpions on the island. As for this friend, the leader of the scorpion group, Scorpion Queen Zi Zi, was ready to let Xia Ji reuse the sacred object to become stronger. Unexpectedly, the sacred object was that devil fruit. Xia Ji had already eaten one, and would die if she ate it again.

After knowing all this, Zi Zi no longer hated Lily. She turned to Xia Ji and kept apologizing. Zi Zi's way of apologizing was very interesting, like the figure eight dance of a bee, combined with the clicking sound of the scorpion's claws, it actually had a bit of a waltz meaning.

"No, it's not your fault. You don't know either." After understanding what Zi Zi meant, Xia Ji said quickly, and then looked at Lily with eyes full of apology.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Xia Ji stood up straight and bowed sincerely to apologize.

"Hahaha, you are an interesting little girl. It's okay, I forgive you." Lily patted Xia Ji's head. This pink hair felt much better than Kaido's messy hair.

{Well, thank you for saving my friend. We don't have anything to show off, so I'll give you the holy object.} Zi Zi expressed it through dance. Xia Ji wanted to translate, but Lily said no. Her ability to listen to the voices of all things allowed her to understand what Zi Zi meant, and it was also this ability that made Zi Zi believe Lily's words. This ability made it very easy for Lily to gain trust when communicating with highly intelligent beasts.

"Oh? If this fruit is sold outside, it will cost at least 5 million Baileys." Lily shook the devil fruit in her hand.

{I don't know what Bailey is, but nothing is more important than friends. You saved my friend, so you are also a friend. It is okay to give holy objects to friends.}
