The Side Effects Are Completely Eliminated, Op-Op Fruit Awakens!

Big Bear was deeply saddened by Ginny's condition.

"The other slaves have been freed, so I'll leave the rest to you," he said. With that, he quickly departed.

The Knights of God had been dispatched to the Holy Land, making their forces as formidable as those at Naval Headquarters.

Big Bear gently addressed Ginny, "I'll take you home."

Using his Meatball Fruit's teleportation ability, he transported Ginny to the Kingdom of Sorbey, where they had once lived happily.

"Stay here for now. I'll retrieve my comrades from the Revolutionary Army and then bring you to see a doctor," Big Bear instructed.

As he turned to leave, Ginny cried out in pain.

He quickly turned back to find Ginny drenched in sweat, clutching her belly in distress. "I... I'm going into labor!" she gasped.

Big Bear looked troubled but prioritized Ginny's well-being above all else. He knelt beside her and murmured, "Dragon, I'm sorry. I can't join my comrades."

With a complex expression, Big Bear went to boil a pot of water and used a hot towel to wipe the sweat from Ginny's forehead.

On Sabaody Archipelago, Arias directed his puppet to return to the ship.

Monet and the others were training rigorously. Solomon, equipped with a seastone collar, worked diligently under Arias's watchful eye.

"Is it gone?" Arias asked, focusing on his next objective.

The world was in chaos, and Arias intended to use this opportunity to gain full control of the underground world.

On Sky Island, Arias opened his eyes to find Delia preparing lunch and Yuli up and about. The atmosphere between the mother and daughter remained tense.

"Sir Arias, someone has found a strange fruit again!" a guard reported.

Arias, unimpressed, was accustomed to the unreliability of Sky Island residents who often brought him unusual but mundane fruits in hopes of a reward. He was ready to dismiss this one as another ordinary fruit until he noticed its unique texture.

The fruit was pure white, resembling a dragon fruit with bulges like white cloud reliefs, and black lines running through the bulges.

It was unmistakably a Devil Fruit!

"Excellent!" Arias exclaimed, recognizing its significance.

After taking the fruit, he instructed his guards, "Give them 100 million X coins!"

The residents of Sky Island, thrilled with their reward, expressed their gratitude.

Arias examined the fruit closely. He couldn't recall exactly what Thunder Fruit looked like, but Logia fruits typically had a distinct lightning appearance.

He retrieved the Devil Fruit illustration from his sac and found the fruit on the third-to-last page:

Logia: Yunyun Fruit!

"Sky Island has a second Logia fruit?" Arias marveled.

He checked his body; the true fire of samadhi in his Dantian continued to burn away the last impurities.

"Huh~~" Taking a deep breath, Arias felt rejuvenated. The side effects of the Op-Op Fruit were completely eliminated.

He extended his hand and pressed, "Room!"

A transparent surgical cover appeared, now extending independently from his body and appearing on nearby trees. With a swift slash, the tree was cut in half.

Arias drew the dragon from his waist, and the Room's cover enveloped the blade, demonstrating the Op-Op Fruit's awakened power.

Unexpectedly, the fruit's side effects had caused an automatic awakening of its abilities, a welcome development that saved him from further training.

The complete integration of the fruit into his body had granted him the highest authority, eliminating the need for external permission.

The absence of side effects also meant he could now consume a second Devil Fruit.

He picked up the Yunyun Fruit and contemplated.

"Should I eat it?"

It wasn't Thunder Fruit, which would have fit better with his plan. His collection included Paramecia's Golden Fruit, Wrathful Fruit, Xiangxiang Fruit, and Logia's Snow-Snow Fruit.

After careful consideration, he decided, "This fruit might not be worse than Thunder Fruit."

The fruit's unpleasant taste spread across his palate as he discarded the pulp into the trash.

As the fruit entered his stomach, the Immortal Thief Liuku activated, neutralizing most of its side effects. His Liuku Immortal Thief was now more advanced than when he first obtained the Op-Op Fruit, effectively removing greater side effects.

Simultaneously, the true fire of Samadhi in his Dantian burned brightly, incinerating black smoke—impurities that Liuku Immortal Thief alone could not fully eradicate.

With a thought, Arias's hand transformed into flowing white clouds, and his body became a hundred-layered mass of clouds as he rushed out of the window.

"Is this a cloud?" Arias mused, feeling the power of the fruit.

He recalled that Smoker's fruit was sometimes perceived as a cloud, though he now understood the distinction. Smoke consists of fine solid particles, while clouds are condensed water vapor.

For instance, he could summon a white cloud, compress it, and eventually turn it into dark rain clouds, which Smoker's Smoke Fruit could not do.

Additionally, he could control the electrical potential between clouds to generate lightning, offering a capability similar to Thunder Fruit.

Despite its lack of speed, Arias found the fruit's abilities intriguing.

Summoning a white cloud, he compressed it until it could no longer float, causing heavy rain to pour from the island owner's mansion. He then increased the potential difference between the clouds, unleashing a bolt of lightning measuring a full 100 million volts.

"This small dark cloud can deliver significant power. With a larger cloud, I could unleash billions of volts!"

Thunder? Enel had only used up to 200 million volts at most.
