Chapter 189: The Superhuman Silver-Silver Fruit
Desire looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand, considering whether to give it to His Majesty. But she had a faint feeling that this unknown fruit was very compatible with her. She thought about her own strength, which was at the bottom among all the Hereditary Titles.
"Your Majesty, I want to become stronger…"
Her eyes became firm, and she took a bite of the silver Devil Fruit.
"Ugh~"
Desire retched. The taste was truly awful, but she still forced herself to eat the entire fruit. Tears streamed from her eyes as she knelt on the ground. This was definitely the worst thing she had ever eaten in her life.
"This is…"
She felt a silver substance gathering in her hand, and her expression began to show excitement. Standing up, she waved her palm, and strands of silver flew from the scattered silver ore, landing in her hand.
"A Paramecia-type Silver-Silver Fruit!"
Desire understood the fruit's ability. This was the Silver-Silver Fruit, which was quite similar to Gold Emperor Tesoro's Gold-Gold Fruit ability! She spread her hands, and all the silver in the abandoned mine shaft flew toward her, swirling around her. After the silver was extracted, each piece of scattered ore turned into a hollow husk or a pile of slag.
"Silver Fist!"
Excitedly manipulating the silver, she wrapped it around her right hand, forming a giant fist 6 or 7 meters long. She swung it, smashing it around the mine shaft.
"Silver Armor."
Desire then put on a suit of silver armor for herself, which surprisingly resembled Kael's own vampire armor.
"I heard that Gold Emperor Tesoro is very strong, and the Silver-Silver Fruit seems similar to the Gold-Gold Fruit." "Doesn't that mean I also have a chance to become as powerful as the Gold Emperor?"
Her eyes were full of light. Even if she couldn't match the Gold Emperor, she at least wanted to achieve 60 to 70 percent of his strength.
"I want to be the Silver Empress… hmm, that doesn't sound good either…"
She had already started to choose a title for herself, but none of them sounded right, and her strength felt a bit unworthy of an imperial name. Her face suddenly flushed.
"Silver Queen? No, no, Silver Consort…"
With the Silver-Silver Fruit ability, Desire finally had the courage to fantasize about standing by Kael's side. She didn't want to always be a gang boss; she had her own aspirations!
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
Just as Desire was lost in her fantasy of becoming the Goa Imperial Consort, Kael's voice came through the earphone Den Den Mushi. This startled her, and her giant silver fist collapsed with a crash. Caught in her daydream, the sudden voice of the male protagonist made her face instantly turn completely red.
"I… I can hear you, Your Majesty," she said, taking a deep breath and clenching her fists, her voice filled with a bit of a guilty conscience.
"The signal seems a bit bad. Why do you sound a bit choppy?" Kael listened to her slightly stammering voice and thought the signal in the mine shaft wasn't very good.
"Your Majesty! I have two things to report to you."
After stabilizing her emotions, her blood rushed up again, and she spoke loudly.
"What is it?" Kael was a bit puzzled. Could it be that she couldn't get out of the mine shaft?
"First, I found a Devil Fruit in a collapsed, abandoned mine tunnel. I have now eaten it, and it's the Paramecia-type Silver-Silver Fruit!" "Second, Your Majesty, I like you!"
In the quiet mine shaft, Desire, with a burst of courage, confessed her feelings to Kael through the earphone Den Den Mushi. Before, she lacked the strength and confidence to express her feelings. But now, she regained the boldness of a gang boss and bravely confessed. If Kael refused, only the two of them would know about it, which wouldn't be as embarrassing as if everyone knew.
"If Your Majesty doesn't like me, please don't send me out of the Exile Emperor." "Please do not deprive me of the right to like Your Majesty and to fight alongside you."
There was no sound from Kael for more than 10 seconds, and Desire's voice trembled as she stubbornly spoke. At this moment, tears were already welling up in her eyes. Her momentary courage seemed to have been met with a cold reality. But she didn't regret it; at least she had expressed her feelings. At worst, she would become his blade in the future, accompanying him in another way.
"I like brave girls." "If you don't mind my broad love, there is a place for you by my side."
It wasn't that Kael didn't respond in time, but he was truly stunned that Desire had found the Silver-Silver Fruit so casually. She only entered the mine shaft to test the signal of the Den Den Mushi, and she just happened to get a Devil Fruit like that? What kind of luck was that? The guy from the Silver Alliance had been on Silver Island for so long, yet he hadn't obtained this Devil Fruit.
"I don't mind, I don't mind, I just like Your Majesty!"
Desire heard Kael's reply and instantly cried tears of joy, speaking excitedly. She could truly stand by His Majesty's side now. Countless pure silver flew around in her excited state. Even from within the mine shaft walls, large amounts of silver surged out, surrounding her. This extraction speed was hundreds of times faster than Bill's silver smelting speed. As Desire extensively extracted silver, the abandoned mine shaft began to shake, posing a great risk of a secondary collapse. This scared her into quickly rushing out, with a large amount of silver flying out with her.
"Boom!"
The abandoned mine shaft collapsed with a roar, and nearby mine shafts also experienced varying degrees of collapse, terrifying some miners who were still digging, causing them to flee in a panic.
"What's going on?!"
Bill was the first to rush to the silver mine mountain, thinking some guy had caused the mine shaft to collapse. But when he saw countless silver surging out, he was so shocked that he repeatedly retreated, entering a heated combat state. Silver was moving on its own? Had silver gained sentience? No, could it be a Devil Fruit user?!
"It's me! Earl Bill!"
Desire shouted triumphantly, and a large amount of silver, following her movements, formed a silver giant.
"Viscount Desire?" "When did you become a Devil Fruit user?" "This ability, this ability must be…"
Bill was greatly surprised to see Desire appear, and this ability to control silver reminded him of the Gold Emperor Tesoro. He had previously collaborated with the Gold Emperor and even made a special trip to the Gran Tesoro to have some fun. It had to be said that the golden entertainment city was indeed incredibly luxurious. The Gold Emperor Tesoro's entertainment show of controlling gold to bind pirates for public execution was also extremely shocking.
Bill was deeply impressed by the Gold Emperor's ability to control gold. At that time, the golden divine dragons and golden decorations on the pillars and walls all transformed into incredibly powerful weapons under the Gold Emperor's control. Even great pirates with bounties over 500,000,000 could not break free from his restraints, eventually becoming an entertainment act. Looking at Desire's ability to control silver, could this woman's Devil Fruit ability really be the Paramecia-type Silver-Silver Fruit?
