The Gluttony Fruit is Obtained

Chapter 21 The Gluttony Fruit is Obtained

"That's really well hidden!"

Suzuki, who had transformed into a Devil Fruit user, sighed with emotion.

He never expected the Gluttony Fruit to be hidden in such a place. If it weren't for his meticulous plan, he probably would have had to steal it from Wapol while he was eating it, but the chances of that method succeeding would have been extremely slim.

It was pitch black all around.

Suzuki knew that he had been put into a box, and next to him was the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit.

Suzuki had already made plans back when he was in the warehouse.

According to Suzuki's speculation, Devil Fruits must be very valuable to the Drum Kingdom, and such a valuable item is most likely only known to King Valkyrie.

Alternatively, they could directly capture Valkyrie and interrogate her, but even then, they might not find out the location of the Gluttony Fruit. If they did get it, it would easily cause a huge commotion, and with Suzuki's strength, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Suzuki chose another method: since he couldn't find it himself, he would have Valkyrie take him to the Gluttony Fruit.

So, he transformed into a Devil Fruit using a transformation technique!

The Devil Fruit itself is formed when a nearby Devil Fruit user dies and their power is randomly transferred to a nearby fruit.

Coincidentally, there was plenty of fruit in the warehouse, and Drum Island is a major medical country, so it's quite normal for a hidden Devil Fruit user to be among the patients who come here for treatment.

It's perfectly reasonable that the patient who was being treated died instead of being cured, and then the patient's abilities were transferred to the capital's warehouse, which has the most fruit.

Therefore, although the guard captain, Alsara Colmi, was cautious, he did not show any suspicion.

Through the battle of wits and courage within the warehouse, Suzuki also realized that Alsara Colmi was a dutiful and loyal bodyguard.

As Suzuki had predicted, the captain of the guard sent the Devil Fruit to the king as soon as he discovered it.

Since the Gluttony Fruit is going to be given to Wapol to eat, Valkyrie is very likely to store the new Devil Fruit in the same place where the Gluttony Fruit was originally kept after she gets it.

As Suzuki had predicted, everything proceeded precisely as he had foreseen.

Inside the secret room, Valkyrie still wore a slight smile after placing the Devil Fruit into the box, and couldn't help but sigh:

"What great luck! It's a pity we don't know what kind of power this fruit has. It would be great if we had a Devil Fruit encyclopedia."

"Who should get this new fruit? Sanel, or Beksky? Never mind, let's see if there's a suitable candidate."

As he spoke, he remembered Walpo's foolish son, and the smile on his face immediately vanished:

"With this fruit, the Gluttony Fruit isn't such a waste after all. Hopefully, Wapol won't let such a great ability of the Gluttony Fruit go to waste once he recovers from his idiot disease."

Then Valkyrie put the lid back on, returned the box to the cave, and left the secret chamber.

After a long while, the secret room became completely silent.

Having heard no further sounds, Suzuki patiently waited a while longer, carefully sensing the size of the box and the appearance of the Swallow Fruit.

Once he had confirmed it, he decided not to hide any longer, since he had already found the Gluttony Fruit, and the fruit would soon be taken away.

With everything ready, he decisively deactivated the transformation spell!

Instantly, Suzuki felt the cramped feeling inside the iron box, and he struggled to form hand seals.

"Bang!"

Suzuki used his transformation technique again, transforming into a white snake. Seeing the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit so close at hand, he didn't hesitate and rushed forward to take a bite!

The taste was indeed terrible.

But Suzuki finally gained the power of a Devil Fruit!

The power of Devil Fruits is amazing; the moment he bites into the fruit and swallows it, he can vaguely sense the presence of the power.

Suzuki tried to activate his power, and the long snake he transformed into slowly opened its mouth, wider and wider, until it easily swallowed the thick iron box and part of the floorboards whole...

After emerging, Suzuki deactivated the transformation jutsu once more, then sat on the ground, feeling the amazing power of the Gluttony Fruit within him, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

After resting, he got up and looked around. The light was dim and the air was stuffy. But for him now, leaving this place would be a very simple matter.

Suzuki looked around the secret room. There weren't many things there; most of them were documents and decorations, or perhaps some important items, hidden in a secret compartment like the previous boxes.

They weren't greedy enough to do anything like randomly tampering with switches or opening hidden compartments to search for treasure.

After all, the previous subtle noise was very small, and it was through the floor, and the walls of the secret room were quite thick, so it couldn't be heard from outside.

But if any switch were turned on now, Valkyrie would probably know instantly.

Then a large group of guards will arrive, including the guard captain Alsara Kormi and another very powerful ability user.

He only ate the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and gained some magical abilities; he cannot yet single-handedly destroy a country.

Without wasting any time, he sat on the ground and quickly began the finishing touches.

First, he spat the box out of his mouth, opened it, and saw that it was empty inside.

Suzuki smiled, then took out two pieces of fruit he had brought from the warehouse earlier.

Thinking about the Devil Fruit he transformed into, and the appearance of the Gluttony Fruit that he had memorized, he made it carefully and meticulously.

Soon, the two "Devil Fruits" were put back in the box, and they looked no different from before.

Suzuki put the box back on, carefully placed it in its original position, and then carefully installed the floorboards.

After everything was settled, looking at the perfectly restored secret room, Suzuki went to the corner, transformed into a white snake once more, and began digging into the wall while eating and filling himself up. He easily escaped using the power of the Gluttony Fruit…

……

On the five-thousand-meter-high Cigu Peak, a small white snake carefully crawls across the snow.

Using the white snow as camouflage and its small, agile body, the little white snake quickly and successfully climbed to the edge of the cliff.

Without any hesitation, the little white snake continued crawling forward until it reached the cliff.

Suzuki then deactivated his transformation jutsu, carefully attaching himself to the cliff face using his chakra. He then activated the power of the Gluttony Fruit, transforming his hands into drills and forcefully piercing the rock wall, slowly sliding downwards.

Soon, Suzuki arrived on the ground and looked at the familiar scene around him. This was the place he had explored before.

After glancing in the direction of the village, Suzuki unhesitatingly chose the shortest route and turned to walk towards the port of Drum Island…

As for Wapol eating the fake Gluttony Fruit, what will Valkyrie's reaction be?

Valkyrie might think he bought a fake Devil Fruit, and perhaps he'll later unfortunately discover that the other Devil Fruit is also fake.

But Suzuki had no interest in these matters. As long as the unrest was quelled within the capital, that was enough. The matter of Drum Island was over.

His current goal is to leave Drum Island and head to the West Sea.

And his second return is only a dozen days away...
