Let's Reach 200 Power Stones For A Bonus Chapter Tomorrow As Well
------------------
After entering the naval base building, the inside was not as dark as expected. Unlike the simple and gray walls outside, the light coming in from the surrounding windows refracted by the bright walls and spread throughout the base. However, because it was getting late, several surrounding stone pillars still had bright lights on them, making them look extremely bright.
Kitano Ichiro did not expect that a building that looked like a simple chimney from the outside would be so gorgeous inside. He kept observing the surrounding structures with astonished eyes. Everything was magical to him.
As Shimizu Akihiro continued to walk up, Kitano Ichiro discovered that starting from the third floor, there were at least eight artillery pieces placed on each floor. This giant fortress, nearly a hundred meters high, had a total of fourteen floors. There were no fewer than a hundred artillery pieces inside.
And each artillery piece was equipped with two boxes of shells next to it. As long as the enemy attacks, they can definitely fight back immediately.
"Is all this real?" Kitano Ichiro thought about the things in front of him and became even more excited. He originally thought that following His Highness, after coming here, his life would be ordinary, but he did not expect that His Highness Shimizu Akihiro had already prepared so many backup plans.
Such equipment can kill powerful samurai warriors and shinobis such as Jonin. The current daimyo made a miscalculation this time.
Shimizu Akihiro had just reached the top floor. Through the surrounding windows, the entire brightly lit Icewood City was in full view, especially the Hoshino family. The navy who was busy searching the Hoshino family's family could be seen clearly.
At this moment, the mechanical sound of system sounded.
[Ding! Mission accomplished: End the civil strife on Kadan Island.]
[Mission reward: (Paramecia type Devil Fruit-Cut-Cut Fruit)]
'Is it done?'
"Kitano Ichiro,"
Looking at the Devil Fruit in the inventory, Shimizu Akihiro thought for a moment and suddenly shouted.
"Ah, yes."
When Ichiro Kitano was lost in thought, he heard Shimizu Akihiro shouting. He immediately reacted and quickly came to Shimizu Akihiro in three steps. Looking at Shimizu Akihiro, his eyes were no longer just respectful to the blood of the Shimizu family, there was a lot more worship, the worship of a true master.
"This is for you."
Shimizu Akihiro didn't seem to notice the change in Kitano Ichiro. He pulled out a purple brocade box with gold patterns as if by magic and said lightly.
Seeing Shimizu Akihiro about to give him something, Kitano Ichiro was shocked. Without hesitation, he quickly stepped forward to take the brocade box and open it.
"This is?"
When the brocade box was opened, there was a light green banana-like thing inside. It was covered with strange ink lines. Kitano Ichiro shook his head and looked at it surprised and uncertain. He then looked at Shimizu Akihiro curiously and asked.
(TN: I don't think devil fruit emits any aura or looking at it too long does something to your mind so I removed those lines, if I'm wrong, please mention it)
"This thing is called a Devil Fruit. After eating, it can change the body structure of the eater. It seems that this should be a paramecia-type cut-cut fruit. After eating it, you can turn any part of your body into a sharp blade."
"However, if you eat it, you will lose the ability to float on water and swim."
Vergo glanced at Kitano Ichiro, explained for Shimizu Akihiro and told the disadvantages of the Devil Fruit.
"What?! Devil fruit? Any part of the body turns into a sharp blade? Is it like the Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya clan?"
Kitano Ichiro was so shocked that he almost dropped the Devil Fruit in his hand. What kind of weird fruit was this? Could it actually create the same bloodline as those of the ninja family out of thin air?
"It's much more advanced than those bone spurs. You'll know after you eat it."
Vergo looked at Kitano Ichiro's surprised look, frowned, and said impatiently.
Hearing that Vergo was too lazy to explain further, Kitano Ichiro looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand in surprise. He knew that Shimizu Akihiro would not harm him, but it looked like it was poisonous and could turn a person's body into a blade. The fruit is really incredible.
As for the disadvantage of not being able to swim that Vergo mentioned, he completely forgot about it. By gathering chakra on the soles of his feet, he could levitate on the water, without having to worry about the problem of not being able to swim at all.
After once again looking at the cut-cut fruit in amazement, Kitano Ichiro looked at the thing that looked like a banana and opened his mouth to bite it directly, regardless of whether it needed to be peeled or not.
"Um,"
As soon as the Devil Fruit was put into his mouth and chewed, Kitano Ichiro's brows immediately wrinkled.
"It tastes horrible."
Kitano Ichiro's heart moved. He had never tasted such an unpleasant fruit. Whether it was texture or taste, the whole thing was filled with strong bitterness.
It was not enough. He knew that Shimizu Akihiro would not harm him, so he simply stopped chewing and swallowed it one bite at a time.
"Just take one bite and you can actually finish it."
Watching Kitano Ichiro wolfing down the devil fruit after a few bites, Shimizu Akihiro was also surprised. Although he had never eaten it, he knew that this devil was very difficult to eat.
"Well, how can you waste His Highness's reward?"
Kitano Ichiro was stunned; he didn't expect it to be like this, but he didn't dare to blame Shimizu Akihiro, and immediately rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.
However, Kitano Ichiro's expression suddenly froze immediately.
"Clang, Clang."
After Kitano Ichiro heard the voice coming from above his head, he immediately stopped his hand. He looked at his hands that seemed to have turned into a pair of sharp blades, and then touched the back of his head that also turned into sharp blades. His eyes immediately widened.
"I, what am I?!"
Kitano Ichiro's lip trembled and his eyes almost popped out. Although I had heard Vergo explain before, when I really watched my hands turn into sharp steel blades, I was still so frightened that I could hardly speak.
What's even more amazing is that with a thought, those steel blades disappeared again and turned into his soft skin again.
"You should familiarize yourself with your abilities. As a swordsman, coupled with the Cut-Cut Fruit, your current strength should not be much worse than T Bone."
Looking at Kitano Ichiro's performance, he nodded with satisfaction and then took Vergo out, leaving Kitano Ichiro here to familiarize himself with and ponder.
He successively owned a navy team led by T Bone, opened the mall system, the reputation system, and the naval base building. Coupled with this devil fruit, in general, today's harvest is still very rich for him.
As for why he didn't eat the devil fruit himself, there is only one reason. He didn't like the fruit.
