On the other side, Luffy still maintained the posture of having thrown a punch.
After the giant golden ball smashed into Enel, it directly sent the guy who called himself a god flying backward.
Enel crashed into the Golden Bell, and was then thrown to the ground by the recoiling force; his chest heaved violently, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were covered in blood.
He did not turn into lightning, did not disappear, nor did he gracefully dodge the attack like before.
After landing, Luffy tilted his head and looked at his own fist, then looked at Enel lying on the ground.
“Eh?”
His face was full of confusion.
“Why didn’t he turn into lightning just now?”
Zoro frowned.
Usopp’s eyes were practically popping out of his sockets.
“Hey, hey, hey! Doesn’t that guy turn into lightning? Weren’t we unable to hit him before? What happened just now?”
Nami was also stunned.
She had witnessed Enel’s terror firsthand; that kind of power to casually summon lightning was simply not something humans could fight against.
But now, this monster had been knocked flat by a single punch from Luffy.
It wasn’t by relying on countering attributes, nor by luck, but rather as if Enel’s ability had suddenly been hollowed out by something.
Just as Nami was about to speak, a slight “clack” sound suddenly came from beside her.
She looked down.
At some point, an extra scroll had appeared on the ground.
Beside it was also a light blue crystal.
The crystal was only thumb-sized, with faint blue light flowing inside, as if a mass of energy had been sealed within it.
“What is this?”
Nami instinctively took half a step back.
Usopp immediately jumped up in fright.
“Don’t touch it! Things that drop down out of nowhere like this look dangerous no matter how you look at it!”
“But it seems like…”
Nami stared at the crystal, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up.
It wasn’t fear, but a very strange attraction.
It was as if that thing was supposed to be picked up by her in the first place.
Nami gritted her teeth and still reached out to pick up the scroll.
The moment the scroll touched her hand, the text on its surface actually twisted and shifted.
The originally unfamiliar symbols gradually transformed, finally turning into content she could understand.
“Chakra Refining Technique?”
Nami softly read out the words, her face full of confusion.
But before she could open it to take a closer look, the light blue crystal suddenly flew up and directly attached itself to her palm.
“Ah!”
Nami was startled, and it was already too late to shake it off.
The crystal turned into a wisp of blue light, burrowing into her body through her palm.
Usopp’s face turned white.
“Nami! Are you okay? Don’t scare me!”
Nami stood in place, her body stiff for a few seconds.
Immediately following, a wave of unfamiliar information surged into her mind.
Physical energy, spiritual energy—combining the two to refine a power called Chakra.
The content on the scroll was no longer just text, but had turned into a complete set of cultivation methods.
She could even clearly sense that a tiny energy seed had appeared within her body.
That feeling was very faint, yet it truly existed.
Nami’s breathing suddenly became rapid.
She raised her hand, looked at her palm, and the panic on her face slowly turned into pleasant surprise.
“This thing… can make me stronger?”
Usopp was stunned.
“Stronger?”
Nami tightly clenched the scroll.
She clearly knew how dangerous the ocean was.
Arlong, Crocodile, Enel—each one more absurd than the last.
Navigation skills could allow her to guide everyone in the right direction, but when encountering such monsters, most of the time she could only hide and wait for others to risk their lives.
If she could cultivate too.
If she could also possess power that truly belonged to herself.
In the future, when encountering danger, she wouldn’t have to pin her hopes on others every single time.
Nami looked at the scroll, the corners of her mouth unable to help curling up.
“This is a treasure.”
At the same time.
Inside the Konoha hut, Haruto saw everything that happened on Skypiea.
He was like standing outside the picture.
The Golden Bell, Luffy, Enel, Nami, and that scroll of the Chakra Refining Technique that had dropped out of thin air were all crystal clear.
What he cared about most wasn’t that punch from Luffy, but his own exchanged item.
“What I gave out was a mass of Chakra.”
Haruto stared at the blue light disappearing into Nami’s palm, his brows furrowing tightly.
“How did it turn into a crystal?”
And that copied version.
He clearly used Konoha text, and the content was also the Chakra refining method of the Hokage world.
Yet in Nami’s hands, the text on the scroll actually changed by itself, turning into content that the other party could understand.
This was definitely not an ordinary exchange.
“Could it be that the Exchange Talent performs special processing on traded items?”
Haruto’s heart pounded heavily.
If that really was the case, then its value would be immense.
What he sent out wasn’t just Chakra and a scroll, but an extraordinary key modified by the talent to be suitable for absorption, comprehension, and cultivation in the other party’s world.
Originally, he was still worried that with different world rules, tossing the Chakra system over might cause compatibility issues.
Now it seemed the talent was even more formidable than he had imagined.
“This first exchange definitely didn’t result in a loss.”
Just as this thought popped into Haruto’s mind, the Myriad Worlds image before his eyes began to fade.
The bell of Skypiea was still echoing, but the image dispersed little by little.
The next second, his palm felt heavy.
A blue fruit appeared out of thin air.
The surface of the fruit was covered with vortex-like patterns, and between the patterns were faint traces of lightning, like miniature bolts of lightning crawling across the peel.
Haruto’s breathing paused for half a beat.
“The Rumble-Rumble Fruit…”
He recognized it at a glance.
This wasn’t an ordinary Devil Fruit.
This was the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which could be considered top-tier even among Logia types.
Speed, destructive power, elementalization, long-range strikes—everything was maxed out.
If he was previously just a civilian Ninja Academy student with weak Chakra levels, then this fruit was something that could allow him to reach the skies in a single bound.
At the same time, a prompt surfaced in his mind.
[Exchange complete.]
[Acquired: Rumble-Rumble Fruit.]
[Prompt: The talent has proactively eliminated the fruit’s original weaknesses.]
[Prompt: Enel’s lifelong fruit development insights have been included.]
Haruto’s fingers suddenly tightened.
Eliminate original weaknesses!
In other words, problems like Devil Fruits fearing seawater or Seastone were completely gone.
This was no longer a simple Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
This was the flawless version of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
What was even more absurd was that it also came with Enel’s lifelong development insights.
Although Enel had an overwhelmingly arrogant personality, his development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was definitely not weak.
Thunderbird, Thunder Beast, Thunder Dragon, God’s Judgment, Raiyū, elementalization, lightning movement, electrothermal heating, metal smelting…
These were not things one could automatically master just by getting the fruit.
An ordinary person eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would at most only be able to discharge electricity.
Wanting to develop the fruit to Enel’s level required a vast amount of time and combat experience.
But now, all this experience had been delivered right in front of Haruto.
“I’ve struck it big.”
Haruto’s throat felt dry, and only these three words remained in his heart.
Without hesitating, he opened his mouth and bit down.
That Devil Fruits tasted awful was something he was already mentally prepared for.
But the moment the first bite went down, Haruto was stunned.
