Chapter 11 - Obtain the Split Fruit

"Just as I wished."Qingyun was fearless and even a little excited.Clown Buggy was completely emo.When others heard the name of a Four Emperor, they would be scared to death and immediately hide far away.He never expected that after Qingyun heard it, not only was he not afraid, but he became excited instead."Brother Qingyun, do you not know how powerful Four Emperor Shanks is?""He is one of the Emperors of the Sea, and one of the strongest people in the world. He has many great pirates under him with bounties over 100 million, or even several billion Berries. Even the World Government doesn't dare to provoke him."Clown Buggy thought Qingyun was a rookie pirate who didn't know Shanks's reputation, so he immediately explained it to Qingyun.He felt very uneasy.Because he got on Roger's ship with Shanks.But Shanks was already one of the Four Emperors at this time.And he was still just a small pirate with a bounty of only fifteen million Berries.He usually didn't want to mention Shanks.But at this moment, to survive, he had no choice."If you really kill me, Shanks will surely chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you to avenge me."Clown Buggy then threatened Qingyun."That's even better."Qingyun remained fearless, even more excited.If Shanks was really as Clown Buggy said, that would be great."Are you f*cking crazy?"Clown Buggy was helpless; it was the first time he had seen someone like Qingyun who wasn't afraid of the Four Emperors' reputation.He knew that if he wanted to survive today, he could only rely on himself. He immediately split his body and controlled them to flee in all directions.Whoosh!Bang!Qingyun moved along, chasing Clown Buggy's head at high speed, then stomped on it with all his might, directly crushing it on the ground, sending flesh and blood flying.Clown Buggy's fleeing body parts stopped and fell to the ground.And Clown Buggy himself died on the spot because his head was crushed.[Host killed Clown Buggy, physical fitness +3... gained the Chop-Chop Devil Fruit ability, and the Chop-Chop Devil Fruit.]The system's voice rang in Qingyun's mind.The next moment, Qingyun's physical fitness became even stronger by a few points..., he mastered the ability of the Chop-Chop Fruit, and a Chop-Chop Fruit shaped like a pineapple appeared in his right hand."Very good."Qingyun was very satisfied.He didn't leave immediately but directly killed Clown Buggy's subordinates.He knew that if he hadn't been strong, he would have been the one to die.Besides, even a small mosquito is meat; every bit of strengthening counts.After killing the people, Qingyun naturally had to search Clown Buggy's treasures, weapons, and the Grand Line's nautical charts.After collecting these, Qingyun went to meet Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya, and returned to the Sea King.Seeing the treasures and nautical charts Qingyun brought back, Nami's heart bloomed with joy.Her favorite things, besides money, were nautical charts.Nojiko and Kaya were also very happy.Although they weren't as fond of money as Nami, they wouldn't turn it down.When the three of them saw the Chop-Chop Fruit, they all confirmed that Qingyun hadn't been lying to them before and could indeed obtain Devil Fruits."What kind of Devil Fruit is this?"Nojiko, Nami, and Kaya all looked curiously at the Chop-Chop Fruit in Qingyun's hand."This is the Paramecia Chop-Chop Fruit. After eating it, one can become a Chop-Chop Human, able to freely split their body and clothes, and immune to attacks from sharp weapons like swords. It's the bane of swordsmen.""However, the drawbacks are also obvious: it cannot immunize against blunt weapon attacks.""And it's difficult to increase the user's attack power.""But if it can awaken, it should greatly increase strength."Qingyun explained."Awakening?"Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya were very confused.It was the first time they had heard that Devil Fruits could awaken."Devil Fruit ability users can awaken.""After awakening, the ability user's power will become even stronger, and they can directly change surrounding objects to launch attacks, making them unpredictable."Qingyun continued to explain."So that's how it is."Nami and the others suddenly understood."However, Fruit Awakening is extremely difficult. Many ability users even spend their entire lives unable to awaken their Devil Fruits."Qingyun added."Mm."Nami and the others nodded."This Chop-Chop Fruit is not suitable for you. You shouldn't eat it."As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun directly closed the treasure vault."Mm."Nami and the others strongly agreed; they didn't like this ability."Alright, go make dinner quickly."Qingyun said with a smile.At the same time, he split his hands, controlling them to silently come behind Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya, and then patted their bottoms one after another."Huh?!"Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya were all a bit startled.Because Qingyun was in front of them, there was no one behind them, and only the other two were beside them.However, they were very sure that, besides Qingyun, none of them would pat each other's bottoms.The three girls immediately turned around to look behind them, only to see two hands floating in the air behind them."Ah!"Nami and Kaya screamed in fright, rushing towards Qingyun and throwing themselves into his embrace."Don't come over!"Nojiko was also startled, but as the older sister, her first choice was not to escape into Qingyun's embrace for protection like Nami and Kaya, but to constantly wave her slender hands, trying to chase away these two floating hand-monsters and protect Nami and Kaya.Qingyun was very satisfied with the three girls' reactions. He hugged Nami and Kaya tightly with his arm (which had no hand) and comforted them with a smile:"Don't be afraid, those are my hands.""Your hands?!"Hearing this, Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya found it incredibly hard to believe.They looked closely and realized that those two hands were indeed Qingyun's hands.They had already been taught marksmanship by Qingyun with those hands and were very familiar with them, confirming they hadn't mistaken them."But how can your hands be there?"Looking at Qingyun's detached hands, Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya were utterly perplexed."You guess."Qingyun said with a smile, simultaneously summoning his hands back and reattaching them."Is this the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit?"Seeing this, Nami suddenly understood and asked, guessing."It certainly seems so!"Hearing this, Nojiko and Kaya suddenly had a revelation and looked at Qingyun."Smart."Qingyun affectionately ruffled Nami's head.Nami smiled happily."But that Chop-Chop Fruit is perfectly intact. You shouldn't have eaten it, so how do you have the Chop-Chop Fruit's ability?"Nami remembered that the Chop-Chop Fruit Qingyun had just put away hadn't been eaten, and immediately followed up with a puzzled question to Qingyun."That's right?"Nojiko and Kaya also remembered this point and stared at Qingyun curiously.
