Chapter 114It was an old-looking wooden box; although the corners were slightly rotted, it was mostly intact.She walked over and carefully opened the box.There was no gold in the box; instead, it was lined with soft velvet that had already turned somewhat black.Resting quietly on the velvet was a strange fruit covered in spiral patterns.The fruit's color was light cyan, and the patterns on it were milky white, twisting and spiraling. Its overall shape resembled a captured, frozen miniature whirlwind, giving off a light and agile feeling."Luffy, look at this!"Vivi carefully took out the fruit and called out to Luffy.Luffy walked over, and with just one glance, his eyes instantly widened!"Luffy, could this be a Devil Fruit?" Vivi looked at the fruit she had never seen before, feeling both curious and nervous.The fruit looked very fresh, as if it had just been picked, but the box's sense of history clearly told them that this thing had existed for a long time."That's right, it's definitely a Devil Fruit!"Luffy nodded with certainty; although he didn't recognize every Devil Fruit, he couldn't mistake this unique shape and feeling.He had eaten one.Even if it was in one gulp."I didn't expect us to find a Devil Fruit here; this thing is worth at least 100 million Berries on the black market." Robin walked over."100 million Berries?!"Nami, who was happily rolling around on a pile of gold items, snapped her head up at the figure, her eyes shining brighter than the gold around her. "Where? Where's the Devil Fruit?"When she saw the strange fruit in Vivi's hand, she immediately ran over, her eyes gleaming: "It really is a Devil Fruit!""Are we going to sell it?" Vivi couldn't help but ask."Sell it?!"Nami immediately retorted, grabbing Vivi's hand tightly, her tone excited and serious. "This is a Devil Fruit. You can gain great power by eating it! Vivi, eat it quickly!"Luffy also chimed in with a grin: "Yeah Vivi, this Devil Fruit looks like it suits you well."In his mind, fragments of information about this fruit seemed to flash, but he didn't say anything, just feeling that the fruit's aura matched Vivi well.Vivi looked at the fruit in her hand, her heart pounding.She was indeed tempted.In the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro, Sanji, and Luffywere powerful combatants, Usopp was the sniper, Chopper was the doctor, and Nami and Robin had their own roles.In comparison, she, the princess of Alabasta, seemed to have nothing unique in any aspect.She had even caused quite a bit of trouble.If she could obtain a Devil Fruit ability..."But there should be someone more suitable for it on the ship, right? Like you, Nami." Vivi looked at Nami with some hesitation.Nami saw through Vivi's thoughts, placed her hands on Vivi's shoulders, and spoke with an incredibly serious expression: "Vivi, you found this; no one is more suitable than you."Robin also walked over and said with a smile: "A Devil Fruit chooses the owner it deems suitable. Since you discovered it, Vivi, perhaps this is fate."Vivi looked at her companions' encouraging eyes, took a deep breath, and made up her mind."Okay! I'll eat it!"She really wanted to eat this Devil Fruit; even if it were a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, she would accept it!Vivi put it under her nose and sniffed.No smell.That's just how Devil Fruits are; they don't smell good or bad from the outside.But they really taste terrible.Luffy remembered how he had swallowed his whole, and the taste back then was still fresh in his memory.He really was a ruthless person!A Devil Fruit is something you can only eat once in a lifetime.If you eat a garbage fruit, no matter how excellent the user is or how fancy their development is, they might not compare to someone else's casual development of a powerful fruit they just happened to eat.This was a gamble, but she was willing to trust her companions' judgment and her own luck.So, under the curious gazes of everyone, Viviclosed her eyes and took a careful bite of the light cyan fruit.The next second."Blegh—!"Vivi's entire face instantly crumpled into a ball, her features contorted, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably.An indescribable, disgusting taste exploded across her taste buds like an explosion.She suddenly ran to the side, leaning against the rock wall and retching violently, tears forced out of her eyes."It tastes so bad!"Vivi let out a groan of pain, feeling waves of nausea churning in her stomach, as if life itself was strongly rejecting this extremely disgusting taste merging into her body.This disgusting feeling didn't come entirely from the sense of taste; it was more like a rejection originating from the Lineage Factor of life's source."Hahaha, you'll get used to it!"Luffy laughed heartlessly and comforted her, "I swallowed the whole Gum-Gum Fruit back then, and I still remember that taste."Robin also covered her mouth and chuckled, with a hint of recollection: "At that time, I was so hungry I couldn't stand it. When I saw a strange fruit, I just ate it in one bite.Looking back now, in that situation, the taste wasn't that important anymore."Hearing the tragic experiences of the two, Vivi felt the horrific taste in her mouth fade slightly, and she felt much better.Nami leaned in impatiently, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Vivi: "Vivi, quickly feel it, what kind of ability is it? Are there any changes in your body?"Vivi stood up straight and tried to feel it, but a confused expression appeared on her face: "It doesn't seem like there's any special feeling?"Just then, Luffy suddenly reached out and grabbed toward Vivi's chest.Chapter 161: Goddess of Wind"Luffy, what are you doing! There are people here!"Vivi's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she instinctively tried to step back.Nami couldn't help but roll her eyes.Meaning, if no one was here, you could do this?However, the next scene stunned them all.Luffy's hand actually passed through Vivi's chest without any resistance, as if passing through air."Ah!"Vivi and Nami exclaimed at the same time."Luffy, your hand went into Vivi's body?"A question mark popped up over Luffy's head.Is that the right way to say it?Nami's eyes widened in surprise, and she followed Luffy's example, carefully reaching her hand toward Vivi's arm, only for it to pass through without resistance as well.A look of surprise appeared on Robin's face, followed by realization: "Body Elementalization... could this be a Logia-type Devil Fruit?""Logia?!"Both Nami and Vivi were shocked.They had seen the power of Logia-type Devil Fruits with their own eyes.Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit.Smoker's Smoke-Smoke Fruit.Eneru's Rumble Rumble Fruit."Yes, it's a Logia."Luffy withdrew his hand and guided Vivi with a grin: "Try it, try to control the new power in your body.Don't be nervous, it's very simple. Once you eat a Devil Fruit, the ability becomes a part of your body.There's an interesting saying that every Devil Fruithas its own will and will independently choose the most suitable host.So, this Logia Wind-Wind Fruit is the ability that suits you best!""Wind-Wind Fruit?"Vivi murmured. She closed her eyes and tried to sense and communicate with the new, light power within her.Gradually, she felt as if her body had lost its weight, and the surrounding air currents seemed to become extensions of her limbs.A breeze blew, swirling around Vivi, and her feet slowly left the ground as she floated up weightlessly.Her long blue hair and the hem of her dress fluttered slightly in the air, surrounded by invisible air currents. In the dim light of the cave, she looked like a Goddess of Wind descending to the mortal world."So cool!"Nami looked up at the floating Vivi, her face full of envy.The next second, Nami also felt a gentle wind supporting her, causing her feet to involuntarily leave the ground, and she let out a cry of surprise."Don't be afraid, Nami."Vivi's voice carried a hint of excitement and awkwardness. She reached out and grabbed Nami's hand, controlling the wind to steady them both. "I think I can control the wind!""This ability is amazing!"After getting used to the floating sensation, Namiimmediately thought of practical uses, "With your ability, Vivi, our ship won't have to fear storms at sea anymore. You can change the wind direction directly!"Vivi smiled shyly and tried to manipulate the surrounding wind.Soon, the surrounding wind began to change.Sometimes a warm breeze blew, sometimes a cool breeze passed by, then it turned into a freezing cold wind, and finally even swirled into a small storm vortex.Is this a Logia-type Devil Fruit?"Besides the basic usage of Devil Fruit abilities, developing various techniques is also very important. It all depends on the user's imagination."Luffy commented like an experienced senior, "However, whether a user is strong or not also has a lot to do with their basic physical strength. Vivi, you'll need to keep strengthening your physical fitness and Haki training from now on."Let's drag Vivi along to train every morning."Then I think I know how to get up. Relax, I'll take you up."Vivi suddenly had an idea and said, "We'll fly up.""That's a good idea."Luffy laughed: "Let's try flying. I was originally going to use Gum-Gum Bazooka to send you up.""Why is your thinking always so dangerous?" Namiwas a bit speechless.Vivi began to manipulate stronger air currents, forming a stable updraft.She lifted Luffy and the others together and flew upward!However, flying with so many people was clearly a huge drain.By the time everyone was safely delivered above the clouds to the top of the Giant Jack, Vivi was panting heavily, her face pale, and she could barely stand."You're pushing yourself too hard."As Luffy spoke, he naturally bent down and carried Vivi on his back.Vivi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shyly buried her face in Luffy's broad back, muttering softly, "This is so embarrassing."Is using a Devil Fruit really that exhausting?Why is Luffy like a perpetual motion machine?It was now near dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was like a golden veil draped over these ancient ruins.
