Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Crash..."

Early in the morning, Luke took Wapol and followed the guidance of the Vivre Card back to the Thriller Bark.

"Luke-sama... who is this guy?"

When they see Wapol, who's tied up, Wyper, Perona, Brook, Van Augur, and others are full of surprises.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~, we all saw the news in the newspaper, saying that the king of the Drum Kingdom was kidnapped..."

Wapol looks a little familiar.

Hogback raised the newspaper in his hand and said in surprise: "Did you do it, Luke-sama?"

In the newspaper headlines, it was written that King Wapol had been kidnapped.

"Well, he is the Munch-Munch Fruit user..."

Luke nodded and chuckled, "Not only can he synthesize the things he swallows, but he can also fuse them with himself..."

"He can even directly synthesize special rare metals from a variety of metals he swallowed. This ability is of immeasurable value!"

"Tsk tsk..."

"I see!"

Hearing Luke's introduction.

Perona, Van Augur, Hogback, and others could not help but marvel.

No wonder Luke made a special trip to the Drum Kingdom to kidnap the other party.

"However, the truly amazing ability of Munch-Munch Fruit is more than that..."

The corners of his mouth turned up; then Luke chuckled: "Later, I will open your eyes!"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

With curiosity, they followed Luke towards the castle.

"Go get a bag of fruit. I want all kinds of fruits!"

"Understood!"

Not long after, at the underground prison of the castle.

"Bang..." Looking at Absalom spit out by Wapol and the strange fruit beside him.

Wyper, Perona, Van Augur, Brook, Hogback, and others were all stunned, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Gulu!"

Perona swallowed her breath: "Is this... really possible?"

"Absalom's Clear-Clear Fruit... has been recovered?" Hogback's eyes were bulging, and his voice was trembling.

"Incredible..."

Van Augur marveled.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, full of excitement.

He could imagine how useful this ability would be.

Even if Luke wanted to, he could hunt down devil fruit users and form a powerful army consisting of devil fruit users.

"Didn't it say that after the person with devil fruit dies, the Devil Fruit will reappear randomly?"

Wyper gasped; after joining the Netherworld Pirate, these days, under Brook, Hogback, and others' introduction, he continued to absorb the general knowledge and information in the sea.

Naturally, he can understand the impact when someone can deprive others of their Devil Fruit abilities.

"Originally, I just made a bold guess and didn't hold out much hope..."

Luke took over the Clear-Clear Fruit and tossed it over: "I didn't expect it to be successful. It was indeed an unexpected surprise!"

"This is yours, Augur!"

With that said, he threw the Clear-Clear Fruit directly to Van Augur.

At first, he really didn't have high hopes for Munch-Munch Fruit's ability to deprive others of their devil fruit.

He just wanted to have the Munch-Munch Fruit's user in his hand and let him act as a mining tool man that work for himself.

"This..."

After catching that devil fruit, Van Augur was surprised and delighted.

"I think there is no one more suitable for it than you, a sniper..." Luke said with a chuckle.

The ability of the Clear-Clear Fruit can make the user and even the objects they come into contact with become invisible.

Such buggy ability, coupled with Van Augur's excellent marksmanship, couldn't be a better fit.

"Thank you very much… then I'll take it!"

Van Augur didn't hesitate.

Such an ability is simply a dream for a sniper like him.

He couldn't wait and took a bite.

"Ugh—" His face turned purple, and he almost retched.

"Although I was mentally prepared,... it tastes really bad!" He knew it didn't taste good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

He's afraid he will never forget this taste in his life.

"Oh ho ho ho, the taste of Devil Fruit is something you will never forget!"

Brook said with a strange smile.

"Luke, are you going to take back Enel's ability?" Hogback asked excitedly.

"Right, that guy with his nostrils turned upward is too unruly..." Perona said loudly: "Even if he is really willing to bow his head, I'm afraid he is just pretending to join us, and there's a great possibility of betrayal!"

"Well, I originally kept him because I didn't want to waste a top-notch Logia devil fruit..."

Luke did not hesitate and nodded directly: 

"There is really no need to keep him now!"

He keeps Enel at first, not because of his talent at all.

He just doesn't want to miss the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in vain.

Now that there is a way to recover the devil fruit's ability, and that arrogant guy has been unable to be subdued.

He doesn't have the patience to grind it out any longer.

Just do it.

Less than ten minutes.

Accompanied by a scream.

There was another bloody corpse in the underground prison.

In Luke's hand, there was a strange fruit that had lightning-shaped barbs.

"Tsk tsk, is this Rumble-Rumble Fruit?" Brook, Perona, Hogback, and others were all curious.

They had heard Luke mention how exaggerated this devil fruit was.

It may be controversial to say that Rumble-Rumble Fruit is the strongest.

But it is definitely one of the top devil fruit abilities in the sea.

If nothing else, just look at Marine Headquarters, and you will know.

The three Admirals, who represent the highest combat force of the Marine Headquarters, are all top Logia devil fruit users.

However, since most of them are already devil fruit users, they don't really have any ideas.

"Wyper, it's yours!"

Playing with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Luke thought for a moment and threw it directly to Wyper.

No matter how powerful the Devil Fruit is, there must be someone who can match it and bring out its true power.

At first, he was still thinking about whether to give the other party the Rat-Rat Fruit, Model: Scythe Weasel that he snatched from the World Government.

But now that there are better options.

Instead, he can use it to train other strong subordinates, after all, if he wants to challenge a behemoth like the World Government, which has profound foundations and many powerful people.

Relying on him alone is not enough.

"Luke-sama, isn't this too excessive?"

Wyper was stunned.

He subconsciously catches the thrown devil fruit.

While a little excited, he looked at Luke hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, the other party would give such a powerful devil fruit directly to him.

"I am not stingy about cultivating my own people!"

Luke patted him on the shoulder and said bluntly: "These days, I think everyone has witnessed your performance... You passed my test and are worthy of this Devil Fruit!"

Unlike Enel, who remains unruly after receiving various information on the sea, Wyper, who was still somewhat arrogant in his heart, has understood how vast and wonderful the world is.

He no longer sits at the bottom of the well and looks at the sky, but he realizes his own insignificant.

In order not to hold others back but also to protect the Shandia tribe.

It can be said that he worked harder than anyone else and was not willing to miss any training time.

Luke naturally noticed this.

Compared to Enel, the arrogant guy who sits at the bottom of the well and looks at the sky, believing that's all there is to it.

Wyper definitely deserves this Rumble-Rumble Fruit more.

"Oh ho ho ho, Luke is right, I am quite convinced..."

Brook said with a smile because he had already seen that Luke valued Wyper far more than anyone else.

It can be said that he was trained as his right-hand man in the future.

The requirements for Wyper are also more demanding and severe than everyone else.

If it were Brook himself, he thought he wouldn't be able to hold on.

There are still differences between people.

"Not bad; at least it's more pleasing to the eye than that guy, Enel!"

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~, it looks like our Netherworld Pirate will have one more Logia fruit user!"

"This is also destiny!"

Even Perona, Hogback, Van Augur, and others have nothing to say.

Although they are already a Devil Fruit user, they are still envious of top devil fruit like Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

However, they had no objections to Luke's decision.

For the past few days, they had often trained with each other.

So, they fully understood why Luke was so fond of Wyper, a warrior from the Shandia tribe.

Even the rather arrogant Van Augur and Perona couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of themselves.

Under Luke's guidance, the other party practiced to the point that he risked his life, and the amount of training was simply exaggerated.

Every day, he trains until the middle of the night or at four in the morning. He gets up to train on his own, and his efforts are at least ten or twenty times greater than theirs.

No matter how tired he was during the training, he never complained, and he never even said a word that he was tired. 

He always completed the training tasks assigned by Luke without saying a word.

And it was still overfulfilled.

It makes people convinced.

"Luke-sama, I will not let you down!"

Holding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit tightly, Wyper looked at Luke with gratitude.

His eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was determined to work harder.

He wants to keep up with Luket's footsteps as soon as possible so as to not let him down.

One day, he will become the strongest spear and shield in his hand.
