"This is, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!?"
Caelan recognized the fruit at a glance and was a little surprised.
After killing Enel, he had mobilized everyone on Sky Island to search for it, but they found nothing.
He didn't expect that Nami and the others would find it directly when they went there.
"Yes, that's the surprise I was talking about."
Nami said proudly, her hands on her hips.
"We discovered this fruit by accident when we were exploring the ruins of Shandia." Robin added with a smile. "We were all quite surprised when we saw it."
The fruit had been hidden very carefully. If it weren't for Olvia's passion for history and her thorough search through nearly all the Shandia ruins, they really wouldn't have been able to find it.
"That's right," Nami continued. "Although Devil Fruits will randomly regenerate on nearby fruits, Sky Island is so big. Finding it like this really is a coincidence!"
"It's a coincidence indeed, but getting this is truly a huge surprise."
Caelan held the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and couldn't put it down.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was considered one of the most powerful Logia-type Devil Fruits in the world.
It had both incredible speed and destructive power, with many abilities that could be developed.
As long as the person who ate it wasn't useless, they could become strong in a very short time.
The Enel he killed on Sky Island had already been comparable to a top-level Warlord. If Enel had trained in Haki for two years on the Grand Line, he would most likely have reached the level of admiral or even a Yonko.
After playing with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for a while, Caelan put it back into the box and said to Nami and the others, "Let's go eat. I want to celebrate with my heroes."
"I need a good rest. Floating in the sky didn't feel safe at all."
Nami stretched, her graceful figure on display in front of Caelan.
Beside her, Robin and Nojiko were also showing themselves off, intentionally or unintentionally.
It seemed like they were out of energy and needed to replenish it.
"Well, I guess we'll have to hold a welcome party tonight."
Caelan thought to himself.
After dealing with Nami and Robin's return, Caelan took the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and went back to his room.
In his hands, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could definitely create the fighting power of an admiral.
He only thought about it for a moment before deciding who should have it.
Soon, Gion was called over.
Caelan pushed the box containing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in front of her and said, "This Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit is now yours."
Among them, Gion was the most suitable to eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Her basic strength was already solid enough to be considered admiral-level, and she could fully draw out the power of the fruit.
Moreover, since Gion and Zephyr were both Neo Navy admirals, and Zephyr had regained his peak admiral-level strength, Gion seemed slightly overshadowed.
Letting her eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would promote her to a full admiral and allow her to better manage the Neo Navy.
"Thank you!"
Gion suddenly hugged Caelan and kissed him.
She had already heard from Nami and the others that they had accidentally found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
She hadn't expected Caelan to give it to her that same afternoon. It was truly a surprise.
She had no intention of refusing. Given her relationship with Caelan, there was no need to be polite.
Besides, the fruits Nami, Vivi, and Tashigi had all come from Caelan.
Now that she had also been given a powerful Devil Fruit by him, she felt balanced.
"Eat quickly, we'll talk tonight if you have anything to say."
Caelan urged with a smile.
"Alright!" Gion was about to put the Devil Fruit into her mouth when she hesitated. "But Caelan, I am now a Heroic Spirit. Will eating a Devil Fruit have any effect?"
"It just adds one more weakness, fear of seawater and seastone. It won't affect anything else."
The Heroic Spirit body Caelan had given her was simply a reshaping of her physical body into a spirit body.
It could cure physical diseases or even regenerate severed limbs.
But it could not change the abilities and side effects brought by a Devil Fruit, which were at a deeper level.
"No other issues then."
Gion breathed a sigh of relief and took a bite of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"Ugh~"
Her face twisted in pain immediately.
Fortunately, only one bite was necessary. Eating the whole fruit would have been unbearable.
Soon, her brows relaxed as golden arcs of electricity danced across her body.
In the next instant, she flashed and appeared behind Caelan almost instantly.
Gion hugged him tightly and said with excitement, "So this is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! It truly deserves to be called the strongest Logia!"
"Thank you, Caelan!"
After eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she instantly realized its overwhelming power.
Its speed was only slightly slower than the Glint-Glint Fruit, yet her speed had already increased greatly just after eating it.
She hadn't tested its destructive power yet, but it felt about the same as Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit.
Together, the two were the most powerful Logia fruits.
As long as she became familiar with its abilities, she could reach the peak admiral level in a short time.
"Could you hold back the current before you hug me? It feels strange right now."
Caelan felt small shocks hitting his body and spoke helplessly.
Enel's Divine Judgment would no longer harm him, and the current leaking from Gion was nothing compared to that.
But when it hit his body, it still felt strange, like eating peppercorns.
"Oh…"
Gion let go, embarrassed.
After suppressing her current completely, she hugged Caelan again, rubbing against him happily.
Feeling her voluptuous body pressed against him, Caelan couldn't restrain himself.
He picked her up and carried her toward the large bed.
"It's still daytime. How about we wait until evening?"
Gion squirmed shyly in his arms.
She didn't mind being intimate with him, but it was broad daylight and she was still at work. It didn't feel right.
"No, I have to welcome Nami, Robin, and the others tonight. I won't have time then."
Caelan refused without hesitation, then added, "Besides, the Neo Navy has so many admirals watching over it. It won't matter if you're away for an afternoon."
Hearing this, Gion stopped resisting and laid herself out on the bed.
Caelan bent down and got to work seriously.
He had to admit, this assignment was quite a difficult one.
It took him a full two hours to finally find the solution.
"I'm leaving. You'd better not pull something like this next time."
Gion put her uniform back on and left the room, her face still red.
Caelan watched her disappear, his expression full of lingering satisfaction.
"Tch, working with live wires really is a novel experience!"
He had also figured out how best to make use of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
