Orlan has no habit of opening gifts in front of others. He only opened the box that Zefa sent him after Zefa left.
But Charlotte Lingling wanted Oran to open it on the spot. In addition to the deposit and the gift of meeting, Charlotte Lingling also wanted to express her attitude to other people in the underground world.
I am easy to get along with, and if I am happy, I can even give them a lot, so it is best not to refuse my invitation.
Friendship or destruction, make your choice.
"Then I won't be polite."
The box was not locked. After Oran opened the latch, the contents of the treasure chest were revealed, which was a devil fruit.
"The Parahuman Book-Book Fruit. Feld has posted a bounty in the underground world and has been searching for this fruit. Seeing how you're cooperating, I think he's looking for it for you, right?
You gave me what I needed, and I will give you what you want."
"Thank you very much, Ms. Lingling. I like this gift very much."
"Just call me by my name. After exchanging gifts, we're friends now, huh? Huh~ Huh~"
Charlotte Lingling's way of making friends is sometimes so simple. Of course, this is when she is in a good mood. If she gets angry one day, she can turn against others just as quickly.
Regardless of what the future holds, their relationship is currently very friendly.
"Of course Lingling, we are friends now."
The Book-Book Fruit was the devil fruit that Oran had asked Feld to help him find along with the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, but its whereabouts had remained unknown for so many years.
Finding a designated devil fruit has never been easy, even for the World Government.
"Ahem, so this fruit is here. No wonder I couldn't find it before."
Feld looked a little embarrassed looking at the gift given to Orlan, as it made him look useless.
However, Orlan didn't care about this matter. It was good to get the fruit after all. Then he put the fruit away and didn't eat it immediately. After all, his character in some places was the user of the Mercury-Mercury Fruit, so it was not a good idea to eat it directly.
Yes, he was going to eat this fruit himself. His previous research on the PYROBROIN particle shield was to prepare to counteract the weakness of not being able to swim.
Although the Devil Fruit brings some weaknesses, its enhancement of strength is also obvious.
In the original timeline, the Book-Book Fruit is the ability of Charlotte Mondor, the son of Charlotte Linlin, but this fruit can only serve as a warehouse keeper in his hands.
But the power of this fruit is more than that. According to a man named Wei, this fruit has the ability to become the boss of a chapter. It's just that due to the length limitation, many things are not shown.
The abilities of superhuman fruits can be roughly divided into three categories: superpowers, superhuman bodies, and creations.
The Book-Book Fruit occupies two categories: superpowers and creation. As the name suggests, this fruit can create books at will, but the powers of these books are extremely exaggerated.
Leading people to fly and communicating with each other using books is just the most basic thing.
The Book-Book Fruit can also create illusions to deceive opponents. There is a huge space in the book to store things, and the time of the things stored in it will stop. The imprisoned creatures will never age. It also involves the abilities of space and time.
When Fei in the original timeline was imprisoned in the book, he tried his best but could not break free from the constraints of the bookmark. His last thought was even to cut off his own arms, which shows how powerful it is.
Although it is vulnerable to fire, this is not unavoidable.
According to the hypothesis proposed by Vegapunk, devil fruits were born based on human fantasy, but devil fruits have different strengths.
The hierarchy of fruits is an example. The Kilogram Fruit can only adjust the body weight from 1 kg to 10,000 kg, but the Ton Pressure Fruit can easily exceed this upper limit.
The Quick Slash Fruit can only transform into a blade, but the Weapon Fruit can transform into various weapons at will.
The restraint relationship between natural elements and the ability differences between animal-related animals are the most direct manifestations.
Especially in the animal system, the strength of the mythical beasts is so different from that of ordinary herbivores that it can even make up for some individual differences.
The strength relationship of the parahuman series is the most confusing, but the upper and lower limits of many fruits are also obvious.
Flying, space, time, and spiritual illusions, the many abilities involved in the Book-Book Fruit are very powerful. This fruit is exactly the choice made by Oran based on his own characteristics and habits.
So far, the tea party has been going on very happily, and the people who came here have also discovered that Charlotte Lingling's behavior is even a bit like a child, and not as dangerous as they imagined.
Seeing that Oran got a devil fruit, some people were also tempted.
Even if the ability is not suitable, this thing can be sold directly for a huge amount of money. They don't know what details are involved, nor do they know the value of "Hextech Hard Life" to the BIG MOM Pirates.
Some people even simply think that Orlan guessed Charlotte Linlin's preferences correctly and finally got the devil fruit.
They would do this kind of thing too.
As the people at the tea party became less restrained, they began to move around. The gathering of so many people from the underworld was a good opportunity to negotiate and discuss business.
There are conflicts among these people, but no one shows it. This is BIG MOM's territory. If they want to fight here, they have to ask Charlotte Linlin herself whether she agrees or not.
The people on the side of the main table also noticed some different scenes at this time. Charlotte Lingling's eyes would occasionally focus on the photos on the table. It can be seen that those were people who were very important to her.
If you want to curry favor with others, it seems you can start here.
The person in the photo has white hair, a cigarette between her fingers, and is wearing a nun's uniform.
"Sister, did you see that? I have built a great country. There will be more and more races here in the future~"
Charlotte Lingling murmured to herself, but someone's flattering voice came to her ears.
"Big Mom, you're really smiling! That's great! Your sunny smile makes me feel relaxed."
"Well, well, this is our nun. The nun is the light of this world."
[My bet was right. This nun is indeed very important to her. It seems that this is the most important step in currying favor with her.]
"This is my first time attending a tea party you've hosted. I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with this person?"
It seemed like an ordinary sentence, but it was because of this sentence that Charlotte Lingling, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed her attitude, and a terrifying aura suddenly pressed towards her.
