I saw seven giants, all about 20 meters tall, wearing blood-patterned gold armor and white cloaks, holding their own golden weapons, half-kneeling in a row on the red carpet.
But despite this, it did not make this hall feel narrow at all, and it even seemed more empty.
In front of these 'giant soldiers' are three high platforms.
A golden-red spire-like throne stood at the top of the high platform. Im on the throne, wearing a white robe with gold trim, was looking down at them with his cold rippled eyes.
He saw four strange-looking Devil Fruits slowly rotating in the air around him, like the relationship between satellites and planets.
"Greetings to Lord Im!"
All the 'giant soldiers' shouted in unison while lowering their huge heads.
"I am going to give these three Devil Fruits to three of you, and I also want to tell you that in the future, all 'Giant Soldiers' must have Devil Fruit abilities, because the power of the Giants alone is still too weak.
Weak."
Im said coldly and coldly, without any concern for the unwillingness of these giants, and even emphasized the word "too weak" twice.
In the hall, the Nine Snakes guards on both sides looked at the 'Giant Soldiers' with some envy. For these female warriors of Nine Snakes Island, Devil Fruit is a good thing.
In other words, in their opinion, anything that can become stronger is good.
The four Ubuyashiki sisters standing on both sides of the steps had curious looks in their eyes. Naturally, they had heard of such magical things as Devil Fruits.
However, I have also heard that ordinary people from other worlds cannot eat this thing indiscriminately, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious, comparable to what my father was like when he was 'cursed' before.
"First, Surtur."
"exist!"
When Lord Im called his name, Surtur, who was originally an elder of the Elbaf Kingdom and had the title of 'Fire Giant', quickly stood up and answered with the golden sword in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a fiery red Devil Fruit with spark-like spiral patterns on its surface, flying from the high platform in front of him and slowly spinning.
"The Titan of Surtur, this is the burning fruit of the natural system. It can turn the body of the esper into flames or create flames. However, please note that it is the lower fruit of the natural lava fruit."
Stussy on the side recounted the information that he had already memorized, and then said: "In a moment, someone will deliver the development information of past burning fruit ability users to your house."
Everyone was horrified after hearing this, even Sauro, who was the leader of the Titan Soldiers and had eaten a phantom beast seed, was also moved.
They didn't expect that Im-sama would actually take out a natural devil fruit.
Although the animal type fantasy beast species are rarer than the natural type, anyone who knows a little bit about Devil Fruit knows that the natural type is recognized as the strongest of the three types!
"Eat it."
The aloof Im calmly looked down at Surtur and gave the order.
Burn the fruit.
This Devil Fruit was so famous in its 'previous life' that in terms of popularity, it might even be slightly inferior to the Thunder Fruit, which is jokingly said to be the strongest natural type.
However, this Devil Fruit is actually not difficult to find at this point in time.
Because it has a very clear location in Ace's 'official'.
That is, in the East China Sea, near the Kingdom of Goa, there is an uninhabited island called Sixsis, and it has two very obvious characteristics.
One, the emerald green shallow sea, and two, the strange current that can drag surrounding objects towards the island.
The most important thing is that it is very famous in the East China Sea and is called the "overly beautiful prison in the sea".
If cipher pol's people can't find a place under such circumstances, then Im might have to consider clearing out a group of people.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
As for whether to leave it to Ace, he didn't consider it at all.
Just kidding, Ace is only one year old now. The world government is currently operating one star gate and one other world every year. Where can we leave a special resource with high value such as the Shao Shao Fruit?
Besides, when Ace grows up, there will definitely be many new choices, and people may not be able to like Devil Fruits.
"yes"
Surtur sighed inwardly, and resigned himself to reaching out his left hand to hold the burning fruit, then threw it directly into his mouth as a red grape, bit it into pieces, and swallowed it.
It's true that this devil fruit is too small in front of the giants.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why they don't like eating devil fruits. They feel that these little things are not very reliable.
"Um?"
After about four or five seconds, flames began to appear on Surtur's body.
Even the set of golden armor with a layer of 'Kabaneri's heart membrane' turned into plasma, and the whole body burned visibly to the naked eye.
In this way, his title of 'Fire Giant' is worthy of his name.
"Put away your abilities and step back."
Im's voice came again. After hearing this, Surtur did not dare to continue to experience the feeling of elementalization. He restrained all the flames and knelt down again.
"Utgar."
"exist!"
Utga, like Surtur, was also an elder of the Elbaf Kingdom before. He also had the title of "Ice Giant" and the weapon in his hand was a golden giant axe.
Soon, a devil fruit that was completely white and covered with symmetrical spirals flew down.
"Giant Utega, this is the snow fruit of the natural system. It can turn the body of the ability user into snowflakes or create wind and snow. It is also the lower fruit of the natural frozen fruit. Specific information on the ability users of past generations will be provided later.
To your house."
Stussy introduced again.
This Snow Snow Fruit was found by Doflamingo for Im.
Im's idea is very simple. He thinks that having people who are related to the corresponding Devil Fruit in the "original work" to search for it may have some kind of wonderful effect.
soon.
As Utgar swallowed the Snow Snow Fruit, his body quickly turned into white snow, and bursts of cold wind blew away the heat created by Surtur before.
But he was very discerning, and this time he stopped his ability without waiting for Im's instructions, and then knelt back.
"Brocky."
When Im called out his name again, the person involved suddenly looked sad. The 'Red Ghost' Broki didn't expect that he would still be a part of him, but he could only stand up and accept the reality.
"exist!"
The next moment, Brocky saw clearly the crimson devil fruit flying in front of him, and then looked at Stussy to signal him to speak quickly.
His character has always been optimistic and honest, so he quickly accepted the fact that he was about to become a capable person, and even had a little bit of expectation.
"Bloki Titan, this is the Yamata-no-Orochi form of the animal type Snake Fruit Phantom Beast. Its basic ability is that after transformation, it will have seven more dragon-like snake heads. Each snake head has the ability to resurrect the esper once.
"
"As for other abilities, there are only two recorded ability users so far, so I can briefly talk about them."
Stusy's voice was nice, but everyone present only cared about what she said.
"The previous Black Carbon Orochi did not make any valuable development on it, and the last esper only developed the ability to spray water on top of the basic abilities, so you still need to do more training and research on your own."
After hearing this, Brockie was both satisfied with the seven extra lives and a little melancholy with the seven extra snake heads. As for other abilities, he didn't care much about them now.
When he knelt back, Im finally said the last name.
"Oyimo!"
"It's me here!"
Oyimo and Cassie next to him looked at each other and stood up happily. He should be the only giant who wants the power of the devil fruit.
Because among the current 'Giant Soldiers', he and Cassie are the weakest, and due to the upper limit of their talents, they cannot catch up with those big brothers no matter how hard they train.
"Oyimo Titan, this is the door fruit of the superhuman system. It is a very rare space-based ability. The basic ability is that you can freely create and open various types of doors on any object. If you open the door in the air
It will be combined with a different space exclusive to the Gate Fruit."
