After the nearly four-meter-tall Alvida ate the Slip-Slip Fruit, not only did her figure shrink drastically, but her height also began to decrease.
However, she still maintained a height of around 1.9 meters, so she didn't turn into an elementary schooler.
"Wahh…"
Looking at Alvida, who was shrinking into her original clothes due to her body becoming smaller, Yang Tao said, "Hey, Alvida, stop crying."
"Quickly adapt to your new ability, and then we'll go to the Sea Restaurant."
Yang Tao had a vague premonition that the One Piece world might give him a Devil Fruit mod...
This mod was very good, but its performance in the game was a bit lacking; however, it would definitely shine in reality.
Alvida gradually stopped crying when she heard Yang Tao's scolding. Perhaps because of the Devil Fruit, she recovered from the Wretch's mental influence.
"Go to the Sea Restaurant, you mean..."
The slow-witted Alvida suddenly felt that her voice seemed a bit off.
"My voice..."
Then she opened her eyes and saw her original oversized clothes, and her slender arms, she couldn't help but cry out, "Ah~"
"What's going on? Why did I become like this?"
With her enchanting figure and fair skin, Alvida had completely transformed, and the upper limit of her health bar above her head had doubled.
This was the power of the Devil Fruit.
Seeing the naked Alvida, Yang Tao had no evil thoughts whatsoever, even though Alvida was indeed the best-figured and most beautiful person he had ever seen.
There was nothing he could do; whenever he saw Alvida, a big 'F' key always popped into his mind.
He believed that Alvida, having seen him transform into a Wretch, couldn't possibly have any other thoughts about him.
"Alvida, just wait a moment before looking; try to put on some clothes first."
Alvida reached out to grab her clothes, but because of the Slip-Slip Fruit, her slender hands couldn't grasp her original clothes at all.
"This... what's going on?"
"This is the ability of the Slip-Slip Fruit. After eating it, you will become a slippery person; all items that touch your skin will slide off. It's normal for you not to be able to control it at first. Feel your power with your heart, and then try to control and master it."
"Devil Fruit?"
Alvida had only heard of Devil Fruit; in reality, she had no concept of Devil Fruit at all.
After all, the reputation of the weakest East Blue was no joke, of course, this refers to the intermediate pirates in One Piece, and the main reason for this was certain Marine Vice Admirals who would return home for a visit when they had nothing to do.
Alvida listened to Yang Tao's words and felt the changes in her body. Gradually, she sensed the power hidden within her body.
Slowly, she reached out her hand to grab the clothes.
This time, the situation of not being able to grasp them did not occur again.
Yang Tao nodded with satisfaction. Alvida's talent in Devil Fruit was naturally self-evident. To be honest, her growth rate after obtaining the Devil Fruit was not much slower than that of the protagonist's group.
He glanced at the health bar above Alvida's head, took out a piece of [Eternal Cooked Chicken] from his backpack, threw it to her, and said, "Just hold it and think about eating it. You should restore your stamina first."
Alvida was about to say that she was fine, but seeing Yang Tao's expressionless face, she still reached out and took the 'chicken' that seemed to emit a special glow.
For her, Yang Tao had brutally torn open her facade of strength, then took a long sword and pierced her heart, twisting it fiercely, forcing her to admit her true situation.
Her fear of Yang Tao outweighed her gratitude.
Holding the chicken, she thought about eating it, following the method Yang Tao had just described.
She suddenly felt as if the taste of roasted chicken appeared in her mouth, and she also felt the sensation of eating in her stomach.
"This..."
It was a very magical feeling.
Yang Tao, on the other hand, stared at the continuously recovering and rising health bar above Alvida's head, sighing inwardly, 'As expected of the One Piece world... the health recovery is so fast when there's food.'
Those who can eat a lot are not necessarily strong, but strong people in the One Piece world can definitely eat a lot.
"Once you've recovered enough, we'll get ready to leave."
...
An hour later.
Alvida, carrying her spiked club, followed Yang Tao out of the sparse forest on the island.
Yang Tao's expression was a little dazed, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Yang Tao, is this a Devil Fruit? Why does it look different from the one I ate just now?"
He didn't know if it was good luck or if he was cheating.
While Alvida was eating and getting dressed, Yang Tao rode his magic broom around the island and actually found another new Devil Fruit here.
It was a Devil Fruit that looked like it was made of mud, and it was also covered in spiral patterns.
"Every Devil Fruit has its own unique appearance and is one of a kind."
[Earth-Earth Fruit]
[Logia-type Devil Fruit]
[A treasure of the One Piece world, only for use by One Piece natives.]
"By the way, this thing is very valuable. A common Devil Fruit is worth 100 million Berries in the black market, and this Logia type is worth at least 1 billion Berries or more."
Alvida, who was still active in the East Blue, said incredulously when she heard Yang Tao's words, "How much? 1 billion Berries?"
"Yes, only more, not less..."
Yang Tao couldn't understand why a Logia-type Earth-Earth Fruit would appear on this small island.
"It's just..."
"Just what? It's just that I really can't understand why there would be two Devil Fruits here..."
No matter how Yang Tao thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, but he could only attribute it to his unparalleled 'luck.'
It was like how ordinary Wanderers in the Backrooms might only encounter an Entity once or twice a month, but for him, it would be problematic if he went to the Backrooms and didn't encounter an Entity.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Tao said to Alvida, "You should adapt to your abilities more on the island and think about how to maximize the use of your abilities."
"Let's rest on the island for two more days..."
With that, Yang Tao grabbed his axe and walked towards the forest. He had made up his mind! He was going to dig three feet deep to see if there were any other treasures on this island.
Thump thump... thump thump...
Under Alvida's bewildered gaze, the trees on the island fell one by one.
Time flew by.
Two days passed in a flash, and the originally small isolated island in the sea had now been completely leveled by Yang Tao.
No Devil Fruit was found.
However, a treasure chest was found, filled with treasures and Berries.
Yang Tao sat on the beach with a somewhat melancholic expression, watching Alvida happily hugging the treasure chest: 'Although I knew it was impossible to find new Devil Fruit, I still feel a little unwilling...'"
"Captain, once we have money, we'll go find a shipwright to build a sailing ship."
"Build a sailing ship? Alvida."
He pointed to the pirate ship approaching their island on the sea and said, "Isn't a free ship better?"
