She reached out and operated the black ball watch, taking out the capsule containing the sweet fruit.

Simply crush the capsule.

Two cherry-shaped Devil Fruits appeared in her hand.

Ichinose looked at the fruit that would determine her future fate, and without much hesitation, picked one at random.

A gentle bite.

next second.

The girl's pupils contracted, and the corners of her mouth twisted downwards uncontrollably.

Her pretty face was all scrunched up, as if she were wearing a mask of pain:

"Ugh...it tastes...awful..."

"This taste... feels like boiling rusty nails in hydrogen peroxide and then swallowing them along with a moldy rag!"

"too disgusting!"

Listen to this bizarre metaphor.

Su Wei turned his head and gestured with his chin towards Sakayanagi Arisu:

"How about trying to exploit a bug?"

"She happens to have one left... Why don't you try it and see if the two of you can share a fruit and also gain the power of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit?"

Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at him sideways, her face full of polite disdain:

"Do you think the black ball is stupid?"

"If mass production of abilities were as easy as you say, I think the price of Devil Fruits would have to be increased by at least another '1'."

"Besides..."

Sakayanagi paused, his gaze falling on Ichinose, who was retching.

Although the girl's expression was distorted at the moment, for some reason, a faint pink aura seemed to linger around her.

Even if she's just frowning in pain, it's enough to make someone want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Sakayanagi Arisu withdrew her gaze and spoke softly:

"Now it's Ichinose-san's turn to shine, so I won't spoil her fun here."

"You may continue."

Su Wei nodded, not insisting.

He turned to Ichinose and asked with concern:

"How are you feeling now? Are there any unusual symptoms?"

Ichinose stuck out her pink little tongue and breathed heavily.

After a long while, she weakly waved her hand to indicate that she was alright.

She raised her hand to wipe the juice from the corner of her mouth, and grinned, saying:

"Aside from the unbearable taste... I feel like I've gained some new power within me."

"Senior, next... let's see how to develop the abilities of this fruit."

Su Wei stroked his chin and pondered:

"According to the encyclopedia, the Love-Love Fruit requires the user to exude their own charm in order to make the target waver."

"Just as Tianze analyzed before, this fruit is actually quite suitable for you... provided that you can overcome that mental hurdle."

Ichinose thought for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly:

"So, what you mean, senior, is... that the first thing I need to do is to become more 'confident'?"

"But..." Ichinose pursed her lips, her little face scrunched up in distress, "I really can't imagine how to wink or blow kisses to strangers or monsters!"

"I can't do that!"

Su Wei nodded in understanding.

Even disregarding the fact that he wouldn't let her develop like that, Ichinose is just an innocent high school student, with a different experience from the Empress, so naturally things can't be messed up.

Moreover, Ichinose is born with a pure and proud nature, and she will not flatter or deliberately act coquettishly.

Her usual gentleness towards everyone is simply because it's her nature, a genuine act of kindness.

Forcing her to deliberately seduce others is worse than killing her.

However, in Suwei's view, it was precisely this "innocence" that was perfectly suited to the sweet fruit.

He gently comforted her:

"Charm is an inner beauty that radiates from within, not merely a seductive or deliberately affected physical appearance."

"I think Ichinose, your stats are already very high."

"As long as you stand there, amplified by the allure of the sweet fruit, combined with your soaring flight..."
