I have enlightened all the devil fruits.

pat!

pat!

Under the [Soul Intimidation], several vicious pirates had their souls forcibly taken away by Lu Ming, and became corpses, falling to the ground.

"call!!"

Lu Ming closed his eyes tightly and took a long breath. His pale face finally regained a hint of color.

Seeing that Lu Ming was safe and sound, Chu Ling and Wang Erya, who had rushed over after hearing the news, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The old king waved to the yellow-turbaned strongman behind him, and carried away the pirate's body on the ground and threw it into the sea to feed the sharks.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lu Ming checked his existing soul and was shocked.

"Why hasn't the soul power increased at all?"

Lu Ming was stunned.

Lu Ming didn't know whether everything that happened in that strange white world was real, but at this moment, something was really wrong with his soul. The pirate soul he had just absorbed was like a drop in the ocean. After it merged into his own soul, the soul that was supposed to grow did not change at all.

But after careful perception, Lu Ming was stunned.

"wrong!"

“It’s not that there is no growth, but…”

Too thin!

Compared with his current soul concentration, these soul powers are too thin.

It is so thin that it cannot be detected without careful perception. It can almost be said to be negligible!

It can even be ignored!!

If, the previous state of my soul power was a bunch of misty gas.

Then, the current state of my soul can be said to be a pool of clear, clean, bottomless liquid water.

Just this slight transformation from mist to liquid consumed nearly ten thousand years of Lu Ming's soul life.

Of course, one thousand years of that was the result of burning for power.

Lu Ming had a bitter look on his face as he looked at his soul which had become more condensed but had shortened to just a hundred years. He didn't know whether this change was a blessing or a curse.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Lu Ming sighed, but when he recalled what had just happened, he felt it was unreal.

Now I can't even recall what the old man looked like in that white world.

It seems to be there and not there, vague and hazy, making people feel like it is a dream, and it feels extremely unreal.

Lu Ming raised his head and looked at everyone in the room, but the moment he looked up, he was stunned.

I seem to see...something?

What is that on you?

The world in front of Lu Ming seemed different from before. There were three people in front of him.

Except for Lao Wang, there is no change.

But Chu Ling and Wang Erya's souls were like a ball of slime, with the fire of life burning continuously and shaking from time to time! In addition to their soul-like slimes, there was a layer of black shadow covering their souls, which seemed to be entangled with the slime and tightly entangled!

Especially, Wang Erya!

Lu Ming stared at Wang Erya, staring at the black shadow swaying above her soul, or rather...

It was the black shadow above Wang Erya’s soul, staring at Lu Ming at this moment!

That is... a blue-black bird.

It had sharp eyes, emerald green eyes that sparkled with a faint light, and it kept looking at him, its eyes filled with longing! !

"Boss, don't... look at me like that... my dad is still here..."

Wang Erya blushed a little, Chu Ling's face sank, and Old Wang also coughed strangely.

"Cough cough..."

"Well, if you're okay, we'll be leaving. Take good care of your injuries and don't think about those useless things!"

After comforting them, Lao Wang took the two of them away, leaving Lu Ming alone in the room to recuperate.

In Noda's room, Lu Ming sat there quietly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Lu Ming looked confused, as if he recalled those words, words that he had ignored for a long time.

[The Devil Fruit of the Animal Type carries its own will! ]——A conversation between the Five Elders in the One Piece manga.

This thought flashed through my mind, and then thousands of other thoughts emerged.

Lu Ming immediately took out all the devil fruits in his hands!

Kill three pirates Zhu Zigui and obtain 4 devil fruits!

Kill bounty hunters Guan Zang and Ruan Liang, and obtain another devil fruit!

Now, Lu Ming has 5 unidentified devil fruits in his hands!

The next second, five unidentified devil fruits were quietly placed in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked carefully and found that it was no different from when he obtained the devil fruit before.

"Appraisal!"

Lu Ming stretched out his hand towards the five devil fruits and whispered.

[Bounty Hunter's only talent: Item Identification]!

In an instant, the identification was completed, and Lu Ming looked up!

At this moment, what appeared before his eyes were no longer five devil fruits, but five living souls! !

Five souls, five black figures, were wailing and roaring towards the devil fruit that was residing in them!

A cow, a giant centipede, a monkey, a cat, and a saw-toothed creature shaped like a whale!

Lu Ming looked dejected. He leaned back on the sofa, staring at his hands in a daze.

An unrealistic thought suddenly appeared in my mind and could not be shaken off!

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, forced himself to suppress the thought, and looked intently at the first devil fruit!

[Item: Devil Fruit]

[Name: Animal Series · Cow-Cow Fruit · Black and White Cow Form]

[Abilities: milk production, healing, and recovery of physical strength. ]

"Niuniu Fruit, I give you life!"

Lu Ming said in a low voice.

A faint trace of soul power emerged from Lu's hand and merged with the Niu Niu Fruit!

In an instant, a bright light burst out, and then it dissipated.

A fat black and white cow appeared in the house, shaking its head at Lu Ming, then walked up to him and licked his hand affectionately with its tongue.

[Bronze Level Homitz · Cow]

[Level: None]

[Species: Animal Series · Cow-Cow Fruit · Black and white cow shape]

[Abilities: milk production, healing, recovery of physical strength]

Lu Ming said calmly in his heart, "As expected, but the matter has been settled. He had no choice but to move forward step by step. As for the outcome, he could only do his best and leave it to fate!" Then he reached out his hand and stroked the cow's hairy head.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Ming smiled and said to the cow.

"Go to the animal husbandry group, so you can breed and produce milk in the future!"

Hearing this, the cow's body trembled, and it stared at Lu Ming with its big eyes with an expression of unwillingness to believe.

"obedient."

"After all, beef...is not tasty..."

Lu Ming stroked the cow and said with a smile.

But in the eyes of the cows, Lu Ming at this moment is more terrifying than the devil.

Afterwards, Lu Ming continued to enlighten the remaining four devil fruits.

Soon, a calico cat, a golden monkey, a giant ten-meter-long centipede, and a huge Mosasaur that was more than ten meters long appeared in front of him one by one.

Due to their huge sizes, in the desperate eyes of the two beasts, the giant centipede was sent to the agricultural group to plow the soil, and the Mosasaurus was sent to the aquaculture group. As for what they would do, it was still to be discussed by the people in the aquaculture group.

Only the good-looking calico cat and golden monkey were left by Lu Ming as pets for everyone.

After verifying his guess, Lu Ming leaned weakly on the sofa, looking at the sky through the window, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

White world.

It is still [white], endless white.

In the vast Taibai sky, the old man twirled his beard, waved his whisk, and nodded.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and finally he opened his lips and murmured:

【edge.】

【It is truly amazing. 】

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man also merged into the white color and became a part of [White].
