I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Under the watchful eyes of more than two hundred people, Kro made a decision.

He reached out and took the Devil Fruit in his hand, about to put it in his mouth.

"Wait! Don't eat yet!" Sig's voice suddenly rang out.

These words immediately relieved Chloe.

"I made the right bet!"

"Sig doesn't really intend to let me eat the fruit; it was just a test after all..."

Kro put the fruit down again and looked down, only to be met with a look of disdain from Sig.

"That's disgusting. Take the fruit further away before you eat it."

Kro: ......

Under Sieg's disdainful gaze, Kro walked away in silence.

Then, with his eyes closed, he stuffed the fruit directly into his mouth.

It was as bad as I expected.

With a furrowed brow and sweat beading on his forehead, Kroh quickly shoved the Devil Fruit down his throat.

vomit----

He could vaguely hear retching sounds coming from around him.

This scene even surprised Sig, who had been urging Kro to eat the fruit.

Sieg suddenly remembered something.

Devil Fruits only work on the first bite.

In other words, you can gain the fruit's power just by taking the first bite; you don't need to eat the entire fruit.

"Kro, who hails from the East Sea, doesn't know this kind of common sense...?"

Sieg watched with a sigh as Chloe finished eating the fruit, his brow beaded with sweat.

"Well then, Chloe, show us your abilities?"

"Sig asked curiously."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Chloe extended his palm and looked at it quietly.

The next moment, his palm gradually began to change, slowly turning into a yellowish-brown solid unidentified substance.

At the same time, a foul stench began to spread rapidly from his palm.

vomit----

This time, the bandits weren't just dry heaving; they actually vomited all over the place.

Sieg's expression changed, and he immediately covered his nose and ran outside, but at the same time he couldn't help but look back at Kro.

"What the hell, could this be the Dung Fruit?"

On this day, Sigourney knew—Blackbeard's mortal enemy had been born.

Chapter 192 Marsh Gas Fruit?

Many years later.

Kuro, a renowned strongman under the Mountain Bandit King, encounters Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors, on an island.

Blackbeard: "I am a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit, capable of devouring everything. I am the nemesis of all Devil Fruit users!"

Chloe (suddenly excited): This is the first time in all these years I've heard such an excessive request! Come on! All you can eat!

Kuro activated the power of the Fen Fen Fruit, and the effect was outstanding.

Blackbeard died.

Subsequently, news of Blackbeard's crushing defeat spread throughout the world.

Kuro, who possessed the Fenfen Fruit, became a legend in one battle and was known as "Kuro who devours darkness" and "Kuro who flies."

..........

Although Sig was somewhat curious to see Blackbeard's expression when he met Kuro, he knew that the scene he imagined was unlikely to happen.

He sighed softly and looked at Chloe in the corner.

At this moment, Kro seemed to have lost his dreams all at once, and he looked as if he had aged ten years.

He dug a large pit by the roadside, intending to bury his cat claw, a weapon he had carried with him for many years.

"That's enough, I don't want to fight anymore."

"Even if it means death, I don't want to use this ability to fight."

Chloe muttered to herself, her eyes dim.

His always meticulously combed slicked-back hair had two strands falling across his forehead, making it look slightly messy.

At this moment, Sieg finally stepped forward.

"Kro, this Devil Fruit isn't as bad as you think."

"I have heard that some kingdoms use boiled excrement as a defensive weapon when they are at war. It is called 'golden juice' because it burns the enemy soldiers with its high temperature and causes the wounds to fester and become difficult to heal."

"So, this is a perfectly normal weapon."

Sieg said that.

Kro slowed down his digging slightly.

"Kro, apart from our bandit group, no one knows the specific abilities of this Devil Fruit."

"So, as long as you don't say anything, who would know you have this kind of ability?"

"You can absolutely call yourself a user of the Swamp Gas Fruit, or some kind of Gloom Gloom Fruit!"

Kro paused slightly, regained his composure, and stopped moving.

"Methane Fruit?"

Just now, Kuro has thoroughly tested this fruit's ability.

The Poop-Poop Fruit, classified as a Paramecia type, cannot be transformed into an element.

Producing marsh gas, or other foul-smelling gases, can also be considered one of the abilities that comes with this fruit.

After thinking for a moment, Chloe's heart stirred slightly.

He stretched out his palm, and this time, though the appearance remained unchanged, an invisible aura emanated from it.

Biogas itself is a colorless and odorless combustible gas.

The marsh gas emanating from Kro was not pure; it had a slightly foul odor.

Although he cannot see it, Kuro, as the ability user, can sense and control the swamp gas he emits.

Kro narrowed his eyes. He tried to control the marsh gas, compressing it continuously until he finally compressed the mass of marsh gas into the large pit he had just dug.

He stepped back a few paces, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and immediately threw it into the pit.

boom!

After a loud explosion, the soil was overturned and flew into the air.

After the smoke from the explosion cleared, a crater two or three meters deep appeared in front of Kro.

Having witnessed the power of the explosion firsthand, Kro's expression finally brightened.

"From this day forward, I am a swamp man who ate the swamp fruit!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with poop!"

Kro's eyes regained their light, and there was a hint of gratitude in her gaze as she looked at Sieg.

"Boss Sig, I thought my life was over..."

As for the true power of the Poop-Poop Fruit, Kuro has made up his mind that he would rather die than use it.

Seeing this, Sieg breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The Dung Fruit is still a little hard for Kuro to accept right now."

"But people, after all, grow up..."

Sig turned around and walked away.

He still had another Silent Fruit in his hand, ready to be distributed.

"It's you I've chosen, Monka."

"You brought the swordsman Joseph and the sword saint Johnny, two very promising individuals, onto the ship, which was a great achievement."

"In addition, you were the first to stand up and face Milo, who cost 80 million, which also made a contribution."

"The Fruit of Silence is your reward; your path of justice has taken another step forward!"

Not only was Monka shocked, but Joseph and Johnny, who were standing next to him, were also deeply moved.

Sieg's praise affected all three of them.

Moreover, with his current record, Sigurd is already a rare powerhouse in the first half of the Grand Line. This recognition from a strongman is a huge blow to Joseph and his companion.

Monka accepted the Silence Fruit with trembling hands.

Is it just?

His gaze gradually hardened.

"From this day forward, I will continue to uphold my path of justice!"

"Not bad!" Sieg patted Monka on the shoulder, offering a meaningful word of encouragement:

"The power of this fruit is very important and will be of great use. Let's develop it well."

While Sieg was busy distributing the spoils of victory, the aftermath of the treasure map incident began to spread throughout the world.
