"Glass Bead Island!" Uta's eyes lit up.

"Is that place famous?" Luffy had no impression of this place.

"Of course, it's a world-famous fashion island, and the headquarters of DOSKOI PANDA is also there! Dance competitions are held there regularly..." Uta knows everything about the fashion circle.

"I will never lose!"

The right to shop freely gave Uta a lot of motivation, and Luffy was not to be outdone, "I won't lose, I'll let you see the results of my training!"

Luffy also wanted to buy something, so he became more motivated.

"Very good. Whoever finishes dinner first will start treasure hunting first. Remember, look for treasure chests. Also, if two people have the same number of treasure chests, they will compete to see who opens the treasure with the highest value." Shanks stated the rules of the game.

The two little kids stuffed the food into their stomachs, immediately jumped off their chairs, and ran happily around the boat.

"Come on Uta, don't lose to Luffy!"

"Come on, Luffy, I'm rooting for you!"

The pirates also cheered for the two little devils happily.

"Start betting, who will win?"

A yellow-haired pirate shouted to the other pirates and took out Bailey.

Adults always find ways to entertain themselves and pass the time.

The duel between Luffy and Uta has also turned into an event for adults to place bets on.

Luffy is not familiar with Shanks' ship. The areas where he moves around are the bathroom, toilet, bedroom, shooting room, and the first-floor deck.

Therefore, his exploration of ships was not as good as Uta's.

The little girl happily went to a secret corner on the lower level and dug out a few small treasure chests.

Luffy was not in a hurry. He toured the room like he was shopping, and it took a while before he found a treasure chest.

Chapter 17 Devil Fruit

Another half an hour passed. Uta had collected so many treasure chests that her arms could no longer hold them. She also lost the energy to treasure hunt. She moved the boxes while walking breathlessly to the deck.

"Uta is so amazing. He got so many boxes so quickly." Luffy looked at Uta with envy in his eyes, holding three treasure chests.

Uta was very proud, "Luffy, why are there only three of you? If you keep going like this, you will lose the game. I have already explored the second and third floors."

"That's so impressive. But Uta, you must be very tired." A smile gradually appeared on Luffy's face.

"Yeah..." Uta suddenly had an ominous sign.

"Then let me help you, Uta, move the treasure chest!" Luffy's true intentions were revealed.

He put the treasure chest in his hand into Uta's arms, then picked up the pile of treasure chests in Uta's arms and started running up the stairs.

"Hehe, Uta is still too kind..."

Luffy smiled triumphantly. As he ran, he looked back at Uta's stunned face, feeling the joy of bullying others.

He had been preparing to do this since early morning, and he hadn't used up much energy yet, just waiting for Uta to deliver the treasure chest.

After all, this world belongs to the strong. Uta, repent for your weakness!

The smile on Uta's face shifted to Luffy's face. Uta looked at the two treasure chests in his arms, and then looked at Luffy's pile of treasure chests. He had already run up the stairs and was only one step away from victory.

Uta's purple eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Ah this...

Luffy couldn't help but slow down his pace. An ominous premonition appeared in his mind, and guilt and remorse ravaged his heart at the same time.

Damn me!

The moment Uta started to drop small pearls, Luffy braked suddenly, put the treasure chest above the stairs, and looked at Uta at a loss.

"Luffy is too much!"

Uta sobbed and accused Luffy of his brutality.

"I just want to play with Luffy..."

Damn me!

Luffy's sense of morality was once again hit hard. I am an adult, you bastard, but I would actually steal things from children. It must be the hormones in my body that affected my will!

Luffy walked carefully to Uta, looked at the little pearls on her face in panic, and then looked at the stairs in panic.

His brain began to think about how he would explain it once the adults showed up.

"Uta, I..."

Just as Luffy was about to speak, Uta picked up the treasure chest in his hand and hit him on the head.

"Hahaha, stupid Luffy got fooled!"

Uta didn't even have the energy to cry anymore. She happily ran up the stairs and ran towards Shanks, holding the pile of boxes.

Luffy was knocked to the ground by Uta, the mouth of the treasure chest loosened, and a purple ball fell out, rolling along Luffy's face to the ground.

"Stupid Luffy, I'm the daughter of a pirate, let me show you some pirate skills!"

Uta happily ran to find Shanks with the treasure chest.

Luffy looked at the ball that fell out of the treasure chest.

It was a fruit with a green stem at the top and purple skin with spiral patterns on it.

Devil Fruit!

The first time Luffy saw the fruit, he confirmed that it was a devil fruit.

Luffy picked up the purple devil fruit with trembling hands. This fruit looked too much like the devil fruit he was destined to eat.

Did Shanks obtain this devil fruit now?

Luffy thought to himself.

It is called the secret treasure of the sea, and its market value is at least 1 million berries. The incarnation of the sea devil, after eating it, you will gain different abilities, but as a price, the eater will be rejected by the sea and become a landlubber.

Once you eat the devil fruit, you will have powerful strength. It is the key for ordinary people to reach success overnight and it is a plug-in given by this world to mortals.

Luffy held the devil fruit high up.

As the grandson of Garp, Luffy has been thinking about whether he should eat the devil fruit in the future.

This question has been with him till now.

Luffy was also curious about how the rubber fruit would appear in front of him.

Didn't expect it to be like this.

After staring for a long time, Luffy put the devil fruit back into the treasure chest and closed it.

"My grandfather is a naval hero! My father founded the revolutionary army! I'm the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic!"

"It's better not to have this fruit."

The devil fruit that has been dormant for eight hundred years and has not awakened should continue to remain dormant.

Without you, I am still strong. I am a well-deserved "Young Master"!

After weighing the pros and cons, Luffy finally gave up the devil fruit.

It is not necessary to follow the path of Pirate King Luffy, as that is not the best solution for the time traveler.

It will also create an absurdly large weakness for yourself.

As the treasure chest lid gradually closed, Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's choice has been made, and the rest is up to tomorrow's self.

Luffy walked over with the treasure chest and gave it to Shanks.

"Luffy, you're so slow!" Uta had been waiting for a long time and she made faces at Luffy.

"Uta wins!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The pirates cheered for their singer.

"Well, as agreed, Uta can shop as much as she wants on Glass Bead Island!" Shanks announced the prize for the winner.

"Uta is too much. He hit my head and it hurts." Luffy complained to Uta, who chuckled and said, "Luffy's body is strong enough so it doesn't matter."

"Please help me get some sleep tonight, Luffy!"

Uta touched Luffy's forehead and mercifully put a Band-Aid on him.

"It is damn morality that restrains my steps towards victory. Sooner or later, I will throw away that useless and pitiful morality."

Luffy put his head on Uta's shoulder and groaned.

"To become a new human being, you must have new perspectives!"

"Foolish Uta, you have made me grow up without even realizing it!"

"I have passed the test..."

"Luffy, you're saying weird things again..."

Uta had no idea what Luffy was talking about.

At night, the Conqueror's Haki covered Shanks' pirate ship, and stunned a group of fish.

The pirates were too lazy to go down and salvage.

Because there are just too many.

"Luffy's domineering Haki seems to be a little stronger than at noon." The pirates discussed this topic boredly.

"Really? Aren't they all the same?"

"There's no chance for your little brat to grow. The nutrients needed for the domineering power of Conqueror's Haki are the strangest."

"That's true, maybe it's my illusion."

……

With the satisfaction of having completed the Conqueror's Haki, Luffy took a shower, changed his clothes, and lay quietly on the bed, his consciousness slowly sinking.

Try to feel the breath hidden in your body.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe out…

Luffy slowly fell into a dream.

"To use Observation Haki in battle, you must be calm. If your mind is not calm, you will not be able to use Observation Haki..."

Luffy had a dream about Haki.

Chapter 18: The Simple Happiness of Adults

Peaceful morning.

Luffy was in the shooting room, doing push-ups with his fists clenched into fists, sweat dripping down his face, and the sound of gunfire often rang in his ears.

"It's really a hard workout." The curly-haired yellow-haired pirate put his gun on the ground, tried to put his fist against the wooden board, and felt the weight of the push-ups.

"I don't want to do this."

"Uncle, exercising is easiest when you are a child. As you grow up, your body and mind become heavier, and it's possible that you can't even do a normal push-up."

Luffy closed his eyes and felt the sweat dripping from his face to the floor.

"Am I an uncle already? That's right, after all, I even have a child."

The short-haired pirate was lying on the ground. "How can a mere kid like you understand the world of adults?"
