Jellal followed Mirai towards the ship’s cabin.
Looking at the mature woman in front of him wearing a bikini with an alluring figure, he thought to himself that women in the world of the Pirate King were either appallingly ugly or breathtakingly beautiful!
“Hiss!!”
Just as Jellal was letting his thoughts wander, the snake coiled around Mirai suddenly stretched its head towards him and hissed!
“Ah…”
Jellal was startled by the snake head that suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Mirai turned around, covering her mouth with a light laugh, and said, “Ohohoho Little Jellal, you’re not being honest”
He’d been discovered!
This immediately made Jellal feel somewhat awkward.
He said to Mirai, “Sister Mirai, I was just curious why each of you has a snake coiled around you?”
The two arrived in front of a room.
Mirai gently pushed the door open and said softly, “That…
I can’t tell you~ Go on in.
Rest here for now.
I’ll come down and call you when we arrive.”
Jellal didn’t ask further.
Instead, he thanked Mirai and entered the room.
After watching Jellal go in, Mirai took a deep look at him, closed the door, and returned to the deck.
After giving the room a once-over, Jellal set down his backpack and the snow drinker sword, then immediately flopped onto the bed.
“Finally, I can get some proper rest.
That journey nearly took my life…”
“Not yet.
I need to see what these Devil Fruits are!” Jellal looked at his large backpack, struggled for a moment, and got up.
He opened the bundle.
Several pieces of gold jewelry emitted a dazzling light.
The beli were all completely soaked.
Jellal hurriedly laid them out to dry—after all, it amounted to several million!
Finally, there were four small boxes containing Devil Fruits.
Even though he had already eaten one Devil Fruit, seeing four laid out before him still filled him with excitement.
“What Devil Fruits could they be?” Jellal murmured to himself.
He opened the first box.
A banana-shaped Devil Fruit appeared before his eyes, covered in scales.
“A Zoan-type type?
Probably a snake type.
Not very good…”
Jellal frowned slightly.
This was likely just an ordinary model, and a snake type at that.
Its ceiling was too low.
He opened two more small wooden boxes.
One was banana-shaped, the other apple-shaped!
Seeing these two Devil Fruits, Jellal’s brow finally smoothed.
The banana-shaped Devil Fruit had claw-like patterns and feather-like spirals on it.
This should be a flying-type Zoan-type!
Flying-type Zoan-types were still relatively rare on the high seas!
The other, apple-shaped one, was probably a Paramecia Type type.
Many Paramecia Type types touched upon the level of rules, so it likely wouldn’t be bad either.
Jellal looked at the last small box.
The first three Devil Fruits hadn’t given him any pleasant surprises.
He wondered what kind of Devil Fruit was inside this one.
Opening the last box, Jellal saw it was wrapped in a thick layer of cotton cloth, which struck him as odd.
Could this not be a Devil Fruit?
With this anxious feeling, Jellal unwrapped the cotton cloth.
It was still a Devil Fruit!
Seeing this Devil Fruit, Jellal was delighted.
He rewrapped it in the cotton cloth and packed all the Devil Fruits back up.
Now Jellal was finally at ease.
The last Devil Fruit had put him in a very good mood.
He set aside the snake-type Devil Fruit, put the others back in the bundle, and could finally rest peacefully.
The Perfume Yuda was being pulled rapidly toward Amazon Lily by two giant Sea Kings.
Elder Nyon stood at the bow with her cane, her mind occupied with thoughts of Jellal.
Standing beside her, Mirai also wore a thoughtful expression.
Jellal had confidently claimed to have Devil Fruits, which probably wasn’t a lie.
Everyone on the high seas desired the power of a Devil Fruit, but Mirai didn’t understand why Elder Nyon hadn’t immediately demanded them from Jellal.
Mirai couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Nyon, why didn’t you just take all the little boy’s Devil Fruits earlier?”
Elder Nyon glanced at Mirai, thought for a moment, and said, “Mirai, ever since Shakky left the Kuja Pirates, the crew has had almost no outstanding successors.
Amazon Lily hasn’t produced a single talent capable of taking the throne as the kingdom’s Empress.
This worries me deeply!”
Hearing this, Mirai also lowered her head in shame.
Compared to Elder Nyon and Shakky, they, the main combatants, indeed fell far short.
“I’m not blaming you.
That’s determined by individual talent.
And both Shakky and I bear some responsibility for not finding you all some good Devil Fruits.”
“That little boy named Jellal, I can see he has excellent talent and is clever.
A pity…
he’s a boy.
If he were a girl, I would definitely keep him on Amazon Lily and nurture him properly!”
The prolonged lack of a successor on Amazon Lily had been a constant source of worry for Elder Nyon.
That’s why, upon seeing Jellal today, she felt a desire to cherish his talent.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have so easily brought him back to Amazon Lily.
Listening to Elder Nyon talk about the successor issue, Mirai seemed to think of something.
Nowadays, everyone in the kingdom took pride in joining the Pirate Crew, even the younger generation of children.
Before this voyage, Mirai had noticed that several children in the kingdom showed exceptional talent.
In the end, Mirai couldn’t help but say, “Elder Nyon, before we set sail, I noticed a few youngsters in the country with very promising potential.
Especially one named Boa Hancock.
She’s only 11 now but has already learned Armament Haki.
I think she deserves the kingdom’s nurturing.
Even if she can’t become Empress in the future, she could become a powerful asset for our Amazon Lily!”
“She’s learned Haki at just 11?” Elder Nyon looked at Mirai with slight surprise.
Mirai nodded emphatically.
“That’s right.
I confirmed it myself.
Boa Hancock’s talent is truly excellent.
And her two younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, also show great potential.”
Elder Nyon gave a slight nod.
Since Mirai had confirmed it, it was probably true.
She planned to go see for herself after returning to Amazon Lily.
If the girl named Boa Hancock was worth nurturing, then Elder Nyon would personally take charge of her training!
Looking at Elder Nyon’s wrinkled face, Mirai felt a pang of shame.
Their Amazon Lily had been without an Empress for a long time.
Elder Nyon was the former former Empress, Shakky the former one.
Back then, both Elder Nyon and Shakky gave up the throne for men and chose to go to sea.
Ever since the Rocks Pirates were defeated, Elder Nyon returned, but Shakky did not.
Nowadays, almost everything in the country was being supported by Elder Nyon alone.
Shakky could offer little support.
In the end, it all came down to a lack of money.
Resource shortages had always plagued the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
Although their kingdom was safe within the Calm Belt, it also limited the kingdom’s development.
