Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

“I could try to get Pierre to send you up,” Ganfor said.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult; it's too high.

"A golden bell, if it really is a large bell made of gold, that would be nice."

The thought of this instantly revived Nami's previously listless spirits, and a small flame rekindled in her eyes. "It's worth a lot of money!"

Just then, the Lord of the Sky's enormous head approached, emitting a deep hiss, then gently nuzzled Luffy with its head before turning to an inconspicuous cave on the edge of the basin, which was mostly hidden by vines.

"Hmm? You want us to go down with you?"

Luffy understood what the Sky Lord meant, and his expression was a little strange. He turned to look at his crewmates and said, "It seems like it wants to take us to its home. Does anyone want to come down with me?"

Nami's attention was completely drawn to the idea that the Golden Bell might be up there, and she was figuring out how to climb up when she heard this and waved her hand: "Go ahead, Luffy."

She looked around again; perhaps there was still some gold she had missed!

Robin, meanwhile, has begun using her abilities to grow eyes and arms throughout the ruins, meticulously searching for possible locations of the Poneglyphs:

"I'll continue searching for the historical texts."

Vivi glanced at Nami and Robin, then at Luffy and the dark cave, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll go down with you and take a look."

"it is good!"

Luffy grinned, took Vivi's hand, and followed the Sky Lord, who had bowed his head, into the cave.

After Nami circled around and confirmed that there were only rocks, she turned back in disappointment to find that Luffy and Vivi had disappeared.

"Where are Luffy and Vivi?" she asked Robin.

Robin withdrew his arm from a section of broken wall and shook his head: "It seems we went into that cave with the Lord of the Sky."

Nami didn't pay much attention and continued to figure out how to climb up the giant bean vine.

The cave was not as narrow and dark as one might imagine.

The Lord of the Sky moved nimbly through the air, with Luffy and Vivi following behind.

The cave's interior is a hidden world, with winding passages leading downwards in all directions. Some floating island shells that emit a faint white light are embedded in the rock walls, providing some illumination.

After walking for about ten minutes, a huge underground space appeared ahead.

When she saw what was inside, Weiwei couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.

Inside this enormous cave, all sorts of objects were piled up.

There are antique-style gold goblets inlaid with gemstones, gold shields and longswords carved with strange patterns, broken gold scepters, and even some small statues made entirely of gold.

Although covered in dust, it still reflected an alluring golden light in the dim light.

"This is all gold?" Vivi covered her mouth in surprise.

The Lord of the Sky gently swept his tail across the golden artifacts, then looked at Luffy, hissing as he nodded his enormous head at the treasures and tilted it upwards.

"What do you mean?" Vivi asked.

"Kong said these are all for us. As payment for helping it ring the Golden Bell," Luffy said.

The Lord of the Sky nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“It seems to desperately want to hear the sound of the Golden Bell again.” Vivi understood the longing in the Lord of the Sky’s eyes.

"Haha, no problem. Leave it to me."

Chapter 160 Devil Fruits!

When Luffy and Vivi came out, they were covered in gold ornaments. Luffy stretched out his hand and made it bigger, and it took him a lot of effort to take all the gold ornaments out.

Seeing Luffy covered in gold, Nami's eyes turned into Luffy's.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he pinned Luffy to the ground and kissed him, exclaiming, "You're amazing, Luffy!"

"...Don't get so excited." Luffy's body stiffened for a moment.

He suspected that Nami was deliberately taking advantage of him, but he had no evidence!

Vivi next to her was also suspicious, but soon Nami was swimming in the gold. Well, that's so Nami.

As a historian, Robin casually picked up a teapot that was hundreds of years old; every single object here is hundreds of years old.

Luffy casually picked up a heavy golden longsword, swung it a few times, and found it surprisingly good in his hand: "This thing should be worth a lot of money if I sell it."

Vivi's attention, however, was drawn to something in the corner.

It was a very old-looking wooden box. Although the edges were somewhat rotten, it was still relatively intact overall.

She walked over and carefully opened the box.

There was no gold in the box, but rather a soft velvet cloth that looked somewhat blackened.

On the velvet, a strange fruit covered with spiral patterns lay quietly.

The fruit is light blue in color, with milky white patterns that twist and spiral, giving it an overall shape like a miniature whirlwind that has been captured and frozen, making it feel light and agile.

"Luffy, look at this!"

Vivi carefully took out the fruit and called to Luffy.

Luffy walked over, and his eyes widened instantly after just one glance!

"Luffy, is this a Devil Fruit?" Vivi looked at the fruit she had never seen before in her hand, both curious and nervous.

The fruit looked very fresh, as if it had just been picked, but the box's historical feel clearly told them that it had been there for quite some time.

"That's right, it really is a Devil Fruit!"

Luffy nodded firmly. Although he didn't recognize all Devil Fruits, he was certain that this unique shape and feel was correct.

He has eaten it.

Although it was drunk in one gulp.

“I didn’t expect we’d find a Devil Fruit here. This thing is worth at least 100 million Berries on the black market,” Robin said as she approached.

One hundred million Berries?!

Nami, who was happily rolling around on a pile of gold artifacts, suddenly looked up when she heard the number, her eyes shining brighter than the gold around her. "Where is it? Where is the Devil Fruit?"

When she saw the peculiar fruit in Vivi's hand, she immediately ran over, her eyes shining: "It really is a Devil Fruit!"

"Are we going to sell them?" Vivi couldn't help but ask.

What are you selling?

Nami immediately retorted, grabbing Vivi's hand tightly, her voice excited and earnest, "This is a Devil Fruit! Eating it will grant you immense power! Vivi, you must eat it!"

Luffy chimed in with a grin, "Yeah, Vivi, this Devil Fruit looks perfect for you."

Fragments of information about the fruit seemed to flash through his mind, but he didn't say them aloud. He just felt that the fruit's aura matched Vivi's perfectly.

Vivi looked at the fruit in her hand, her heart pounding.

She was indeed tempted.

In the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy are all powerful fighters, Usopp is a sniper, Chopper is a doctor, and Nami and Robin also have their own roles.

In comparison, she, the princess of Alabasta, seems to have nothing unique about her in any way.

It also caused a lot of trouble.

If I could obtain the power of a Devil Fruit...

“But shouldn’t there be someone more suitable for it on the ship? Like Nami, for example.” Vivi looked at Nami with some hesitation.

Nami saw through Vivi's thoughts, placed her hands on Vivi's shoulders, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Vivi, this is the one you found. No one is more suitable than you."

Robin walked over and said with a smile, "Devil Fruits choose the masters they deem suitable. Since it was you who discovered it, Vivi, perhaps this is fate."

Looking at her friends' encouraging eyes, Weiwei took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"Okay! I'll eat it!"

She really wanted to eat this Devil Fruit, even if it was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit!

Weiwei held it under her nose and smelled it.

It has no taste.

That's just how Devil Fruits are; they don't smell good or bad from the outside.

But it tastes absolutely terrible.

Luffy remembered that he had swallowed it whole, and the taste was still fresh in his memory.

I'm such a ruthless person!

You can only eat one Devil Fruit in your lifetime.

If someone eats a useless Devil Fruit, no matter how talented the user is or how elaborate their abilities are, they might not be as good as someone who casually eats a powerful Devil Fruit and develops it effortlessly.

It was a gamble, but she was willing to trust her partners' judgment and also her own luck.

So, under the curious gazes of everyone, Weiwei closed her eyes and carefully took a bite of the light blue fruit.

next second.

"vomit--!"

Vivi's face instantly contorted, her features distorted, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

An indescribable, nauseating taste exploded and spread across her taste buds.

She suddenly ran to the side, leaned against the rock wall, and began to retch violently, tears streaming down her face.

"It tastes awful!"

Weiwei let out a painful groan, feeling waves of nausea churning in her stomach. It was as if life itself was strongly rejecting this extremely disgusting taste from entering her body.

This feeling of nausea doesn't entirely come from the sense of taste; it's more like a rejection stemming from the very essence of life and lineage.

"Haha, you'll get used to it!"
