Nono and the Devil Fruit

Chapter 64 Nono and the Devil Fruit

Inside the dark and dimly lit staircase.

Hanako clung tightly to Suzuki's clothes, and each time she went down the stairs, she would carefully test the ground with her foot before continuing.

Seeing Hanako's fear of falling because she couldn't see the road clearly, Suzuki realized that his deskmate was different from him.

He always used his Observation Haki when he walked up this dimly lit staircase.

With the amplification of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the range of Observation Haki has not only expanded, but its consumption has also decreased significantly.

Dr. Nono was more adapted to this environment; her hearing and intuition were quite accurate because she was nearsighted.

Hanako has no sensory abilities and this is her first time here. Although she is wearing glasses, they are mostly just for decoration.

Hanako wore it to make herself look more mature.

Even though she stayed up late every night studying and reading, her eyesight did not actually decrease at all.

Seeing this, Suzuki slightly raised his right hand and then activated the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

A bright flash of lightning appeared in the dark, deep stairwell, instantly dispelling the terrifying atmosphere.

"Why???"

Hanako felt she had been surprised by far too many things today!

But this is not her fault. Her friend Suzuki suddenly asked her some strange questions and then said that he had a laboratory.

Or the incredible, teleporting speed after she was lifted up.

Including the light that suddenly illuminates the dimly lit staircase, and the gentle lightning flowing through his friend Suzuki's hand.

These scenes vividly demonstrate that her seemingly ordinary, merely pretty, deskmate is actually unfathomable!

Having known Suzuki for almost ten years, practically since she was a toddler, Hanako was naturally quite surprised.

But Hanako was also very happy!

In any case, it's good that my friend Suzuki has such strength and doesn't hide it from her.

"Suzuki-chan, Hanako understands!"

"Don't worry, Hanako won't tell anyone!"

Yes, Hanako believed that Suzuki had awakened some strange bloodline limit.

Hanako, who often reads books in the library, is also familiar with some of the amazing abilities that have appeared in the ninja world.

She mistook the strange lightning on Suzuki's body for a bloodline limit, and one that had been naturally awakened.

But her friend Suzuki had been keeping it a secret, which meant that her friend didn't want to attract too much attention, so of course she had to keep this secret for her friend!

Suzuki looked at Hanako, who inexplicably began to make a firm promise, and a look of confusion flashed across his face before he instantly understood what Hanako meant.

However, he didn't really care about such things.

"Hanako, can you see now? Let's go."

Suzuki calmly reminded Hanako, who was lost in thought, that the two of them should continue on their way.

"Okay, sure!"

Hanako nodded her little head, then looked at the bright staircase that was now clearly visible around her, and followed Suzuki to the bottom.

There is a large metal gate, firmly embedded in the surrounding hard rock.

This was built by Suzuki a few months ago using the Swallow Fruit, including the entire laboratory and some experimental equipment inside.

They were all made by him using the Gluttony Fruit, shortly after he ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

He used fruits to make things that he could make, and for things that he couldn't make, he gave the gold to the pharmacist Nono to exchange for silver so she could buy them at the market.

Suzuki looked at the metal door in front of him with a slight smile on his face. This laboratory was also his masterpiece.

He placed his palm on the laboratory door, and then a flash of lightning appeared, instantly opening the metal door!

Inside was another large metal door, which Suzuki led Hanako to open one by one.

It wasn't until the fifth door opened that a spacious and brightly lit room appeared inside.

The room has many electric lights, powered by Suzuki.

At the same time, there are also many pieces of equipment and some very strange biological tissues inside.

Hanako looked at the laboratory, her little face full of amazement:

"Suzuki-chan, this place is huge!"

Just then, a magnetic female voice rang out:

"Of course, this place is not only big, but also has a full range of experimental equipment, and there are two bedrooms next door that can be used as living quarters."

"However, it could also be an interrogation room."

Then, a young woman wearing glasses and a white lab coat walked over.

She is Yakushi Nonou!

She is not yet twenty years old this year, in the prime of her youth, and does not show the weariness and vicissitudes of working at the root for a long time. She appears very cheerful and friendly.

This pharmacist, Nonou, was about to be targeted by Shimura Danzo, the leader of Root, when Suzuki took her away first after she inherited the position of director of the Konoha Orphanage.

That evening, Pharmacist Nonou, who had just finished get off work at Konoha Hospital and was preparing to return to the orphanage, was surrounded by several members of Root, who demanded that she, the newly appointed director of the Konoha Orphanage, go see Lord Danzo.

Yakushi Nono, who learned some information about Shimura Danzo from the previous dean, knew that if she went to Root, she would be forever plunged into darkness.

But if I don't go, I'm worried that something bad might happen at the orphanage...

Just when she was in a terrible dilemma, Suzuki appeared out of nowhere and dealt with those Root members in a way she could never have imagined.

He then gave her a large sum of gold and told her about her current situation.

Having witnessed Suzuki's power, she readily agreed to work for him after he promised to help her resolve the threat from Danzo.

It must be said that the working environment here is worse than that of Konoha Hospital, because she is the only one here.

However, the salary was quite high, enough for her to cover the orphanage's expenses and help more orphans.

"Hello, Suzuki-kun!"

"And this one, isn't that Hanako-san? She's so cute~"

Pharmacist Nonou smiled and looked at the two people at the laboratory door. She greeted Suzuki with a respectful greeting, and then stared at the petite Hanako.

"Tsk tsk, Miss Hanako, would you be interested in staying at my orphanage? You're so cute, I can't resist."

Hearing Yakushi Nonou's teasing, Hanako first glanced at Suzuki beside her, whose expression remained unchanged, and then slightly extended her small hand:

"Hello, sister, you're very pretty too."

"Hanako won't be going to the orphanage, she doesn't live outside."

Disappointment showed on Yakushi Nonou's face as she reached out and shook hands with the petite Hanako.

Then suddenly he grabbed Hanako and pulled her into his arms.
