I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

Instead, this place was designated as a place to discuss important matters of the tribe or to entertain distinguished guests.

After Ryan and Kalina sat down one after another.

Although she is a famous beautiful warrior in Shandia, she is not as brave and warlike as Wapa and others. Laqi, who has a relatively gentle temperament, pours tea for everyone skillfully.

It was time to pour tea for Ryan.

It even came close to him, bringing with it gusts of fragrant wind.

"Ryan, it's a rare trip for you to come up here, so please stay a few more days..."

Lucky was full of enthusiasm.

A bold and fiery, unconcealed gaze.

She stared straight at Ryan's handsome face, unwilling to look away.

"Gurgling..."

Until the tea overflowed.

Her face flushed slightly as she reluctantly picked up the teapot.

Then pour tea for others.

"Little slut, just sit on Ryan..."

Karina, who was sitting there, was almost ignored.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

He secretly complained about it.

"Chief, I brought it!"

quite a while.

Under the surprised gazes of Ryan and Kalina, Kamachili walked in excitedly from outside.

And, he handed over a black treasure box to the leader of the Shandia tribe.

"By the way, Mr. Ryan..." The old Shandia patriarch took the box and handed it to Ryan. He smiled and said, "Last time, you and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to give you this gift..."

"Now, I can finally hand it over to you!"

Ryan was stunned and a little surprised: "Old Patriarch, what is this?"

Kalina's eyes lit up as she looked at the box with curiosity.

"Ryan, this is the gift from our Shandia clan to you!"

Kamachili on the side said with a smile.

Lucky also smiled and said to Ryan: "Open it and take a look. I believe you will like it!"

Sitting below the Shandia chief, the somewhat depressed Wapa had a calm expression, but did not seem surprised at all.

He nodded towards Ryan, hoping that he would accept it.

Obviously, he already knew that as well.

"Oh?"

See this.

Ryan had some vague guesses.

Inside the box, there are most likely devil fruits.

But I just don’t know if this is the one I have always dreamed of but missed.

"Then I thank you all..."

Ryan didn't say anything more.

He took the box directly from the old patriarch and opened it.

Inside, there was a strange golden fruit with lightning-shaped barbs on the skin.

"This is!?"

Ryan's pupils shrank sharply and his heart began to beat violently.

Looking at this golden fruit covered with lightning-shaped barbs, I felt a little bit unbelievable.

With this shape, even if you haven't seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, you can probably guess it directly.

How could he not recognize it?

This was exactly what he had devoted all his energy to, even mobilizing the warriors of the Shandia tribe.

The ability that he couldn't find even after searching everywhere including the Island of Gods and the nearby Angel Island - the natural type? The Thunder Fruit!

"Could this be the legendary devil fruit?"

Looking at the strange-shaped fruit, it seems to be full of mysterious magic, tempting people to eat it.

Although she had never seen a devil fruit before, Kalina confirmed its identity.

For a moment, there was a loss of voice in shock.

"Old Chief, this is a great gift... Where did you find it?" Ryan took a deep breath and looked at the smiling old chief, Wappa, Laqi and others in front of him.

This gift is really precious.

Although, he is now a devil fruit user.

But that doesn't mean it's useless.

No matter what version.

Thunder Fruit, never out of date!

This is a perfect ability that is extremely buggy and impeccable in every aspect.

The special thing about this thing is.

As long as the person who eats it is not a waste.

With ease, one can create a powerful person with astonishing strength in the shortest possible time.

"I think what you've been thinking about so much, and trying so hard to find, Mr. Ryan, is the Devil Fruit ability that belongs to Enel?"

The old patriarch smiled and said, "Not long after you left Sky Island, the tribe members accidentally found this fruit at the site of the former Cloud Village, but we don't know if it actually belonged to Eneel..."

"Is this the regenerated nature-type Thunder Fruit?"

Ryan had no intention of hiding anything.

The true ability of this fruit was directly announced.

"What!?" Kalina's eyes widened in shock.

Is this the Thunder Fruit that Ryan once mentioned, which is almost the strongest natural-type fruit?

She couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little uneasy.

The whole person stared blankly at the strange fruit covered with lightning barbs.

I never thought that the Shandia clan would give Ryan such a gift.

"Is that really it?"

Wapa's face was calm.

It doesn't seem very surprising.

Chief Shandia, Kamachili, Braham and others standing by also had smiles on their faces.

Although he gave such a valuable devil fruit to Ryan, he did not show any regret at all.

"I have to say, this gift is really satisfying!"

He weighed the thunder fruit in his hand.

He looked at Chief Shandia, Wapa, Lachi and the others in confusion and asked bluntly, "However, I am very curious. After witnessing Enel's almost omnipotent power..."

"Is there no one among you who wants to become a person with special abilities? Faced with such abilities, you're really not tempted?"

"Even if we don't know and can't confirm 100% whether it is the user of the Thunder Fruit, why don't you consider making a bold decision and taking a gamble?"

"After all, from its appearance, it easily reminds people of thunder and lightning..."

Logically speaking, that kind of power.

It’s impossible for anyone to not be moved when seeing this, right?

Even if there is only a 50% chance, it is worth taking a gamble.

What's more, this devil fruit, which is shaped very much like lightning, was found shortly after Enel's death.

The chances are even greater.

"I'm very ashamed, Mr. Ryan, you are right..."

The Shandia chieftain gave a wry smile.

He didn't mean to hide it: "Actually, I do have selfish motives!"

"Please forgive my selfishness. I once wanted to let Wapa eat it. After all, even if it's not as invincible as the Thunder Fruit, I believe it shouldn't be too bad..."

"By then, I believe that Wapa's strength will be enhanced and he will be able to better protect Shandia!"

Speaking of it.

He couldn't help but shook his head.

He said helplessly, "But Wappa refused!"

"And I'm determined to give it to you!"

"what?"

Ryan wasn't the only one who was surprised.

Even Kalina couldn't help but look at Wapa in surprise.

Faced with such a powerful temptation, is there really anyone who can resist?

"I do guess that it might be that you, Ryan, want to find that fruit, and I'm not afraid to take a gamble..."

Facing Ryan's puzzled look.

Wapa's face was calm, and he said calmly, "But, Ryan, after all, you helped us defeat the god Enel, allowing the bell sounds that had disappeared for hundreds of years to reach the ears of the descendants of Noland again, fulfilling the great warrior Kalgora's last wish... and then you even helped our Shandia clan to expel invaders like Gan Forle and reclaim our homeland!"

"Such a great favor cannot be repaid!"

"This is our Shandia's way of showing our appreciation!"

"Besides, this fruit is probably what you once searched for tirelessly and tirelessly, and you worked so hard to obtain it..."

He looked determined.

There was no evasion in his gaze.

Looking directly at Ryan, he said sternly, "If I really get Enel's ability, I will certainly gain great power, but when you come to Sky Island again in the future, how can I face you, my benefactor?"

"As the descendant of the great warrior Kalgora, I will never allow the glory of the great warrior Kalgora to be tarnished by my unauthorized actions!"

"In that case... then I'll accept it without hesitation!"

Ryan looked deeply at Wappa.

Even he couldn't help but admire such a man.

He has always valued Wappa's potential.

in his plans.

I had originally considered waiting until Wapa agreed to join.

Just go directly to Punk Hazard in the first half of the New World and find the artificial mythical beast species - dragon-shaped fruit that Vegapunk developed using the bloodline factor of Kaido, the King of Beasts.

Let this tough guy become a "war ghost" that truly scares the enemy.

Because, although it is an artificial animal-type devil fruit.

But we have to admit that Dr. Vegapunk's terrifying scientific research ability is far beyond the reach of Caesar Courant, that half-baked one.
