Hu Tao was naturally mischievous.
If he gave a Devil Fruit to her, all hell would break loose.
As for the others…
Su Han thought long and hard, and his gaze gradually fell on Keqing, who was practicing Haki.
Should I make her the user of the Flower-Flower Fruit?
If the Flower-Flower Fruit were developed to its peak, creating dozens of clones would be no problem.
Moreover, Keqing's swordsmanship followed the path of agility, unlike Beidou, who broke all techniques with pure force.
After thinking it over and over, she was the only one who was truly suitable.
Su Han stood up, walked over to her, and handed her the Flower-Flower Fruit.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"What is this? A fruit? It's basically a flower."
"That's right. Its name is the Flower-Flower Fruit. Although the taste is a bit awful, it's incredibly rare."
"Flower-Flower Fruit? Flower-flower… wait, Su Han, don't tell me this is a Devil Fruit!"
Having seen the picture of the Flame-Flame Fruit, Keqing immediately put two and two together.
The strange, petal-covered fruit in front of her was actually a Devil Fruit from the Points Shop!
Seeing Keqing's astonished expression, Su Han nodded. "It is indeed a Devil Fruit. But it's not a Logia-type, it's a Paramecia. You can think of it as, after you eat it, you can sprout a part of your body from any location or on any surface. For example, eyes, or ears. If you develop it to its peak, you can even create a full clone of yourself."
Although the Flower-Flower Fruit could seem weak, it all depended on how you used it.
Just imagine, if Keqing could create dozens of herself and they all unleashed Starward Sword at the same time, how terrifying would that be?
Keqing thought for a moment, then shook her head. "This fruit is too precious. You should save it for someone else. I've already reached the entry-level of Haki. I don't need a fruit like this."
"The others aren't a good match for it. Just think, what would Hu Tao do if she had this thing? She'd probably spend all day hiding in alleys and scaring people. As for Xiangling, she would most likely only sprout extra hands to cook. And as for Ningguang and Beidou…"
Listening to Su Han's analysis, it seemed that she really was the most suitable person to eat the fruit.
Still, for him to just give away something so precious… It would be a lie to say her heart wasn't moved.
After all, if this fruit were sold on the open market, it would be a priceless treasure.
Looking at his handsome face, Keqing took the fruit and smiled. "I'm finding it's really impossible to argue with you. Alright, alright, I'll eat it."
Then, she peeled the skin and took a bite.
Her radiant smile instantly froze.
An indescribable taste spread through her mouth. It was something between bitter and fishy.
In any case, the flavor made Keqing, a woman born of a noble and distinguished clan, want to spit it out on the spot.
However, she knew that the first bite of a Devil Fruit had to be swallowed.
So, she closed her eyes and forced it down.
"Blegh! Why does it taste so strange? It's like swallowing a piece of salted fish that's been rotting for a long time! So disgusting! Blegh!"
Seeing Keqing's miserable expression, Su Han burst out laughing.
So that's what a Devil Fruit tastes like. Good to know.
"You're still laughing! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in such a state!"
"I'm not laughing, I'm not laughing. Quick, try out the fruit's ability."
"Hmph!"
He says he's not laughing, but he's clearly struggling to hold it in. So he just likes to see me lose my composure, is that it?
Keqing turned her head, not wanting to deal with this bad guy anymore.
Just then, she felt a strange new sensation in the back of her mind, as if she could do certain things with just a thought.
She turned her head and looked at the snickering Su Han.
A thought arose in her mind.
Instantly, two fair arms sprouted from Su Han's shoulders, grabbing his ears from the left and right and pulling.
"I'll teach you to laugh! Are you going to laugh again?!"
"Hey, don't pull my ears! You're fighting dirty!"
"Who told you to laugh so happily?"
"If you pull again, I'm posting the video of you just now in the group chat."
"What? You dared to record it?!"
Keqing was thoroughly annoyed now. It was one thing for him to laugh, but to actually record her at her most unsightly moment was simply unforgivable.
Fortunately, Ningguang's timely appearance interrupted their roughhousing. Otherwise, who knows what it would have escalated into.
"What are you two doing? Why are you making such a racket? Huh, what is that?"
Ningguang was completely shocked as she saw a pair of petal-like arms, which had just finished turning Su Han's handsome hairstyle into a chicken's nest, disappear into thin air.
If she hadn't seen it wrong, that was a pair of arms.
Did Su Han have four arms? No, that wasn't right. Why would he mess up his own hair?
And so, Ningguang's gaze fell upon Keqing.
"It's the Flower-Flower Fruit. This guy gave it to me just now."
Since she had been discovered, Keqing didn't want to hide it. She directly explained what had just happened.
When she heard that Keqing had eaten a Devil Fruit, Ningguang understood. No wonder there were two extra hands; it was the power of the fruit.
And, thinking about it now, Keqing was indeed the most suitable choice. The others wouldn't have been a good fit.
Still, just how many secrets is this guy hiding from me? I even gave him my first kiss, and he's still keeping things from me.
Noticing Ningguang's resentful gaze, Su Han rubbed his nose.
Hey, you can't blame me for this. Who knew the mission reward would be a Devil Fruit?
