A week passed....

During this week, Lepus and Brisa spent time waiting for Muret's answer by walking around the city of Notice and buying various kinds of books and other things.

Lepus spends most of his time reading and studying navigation, oceanology, meteorology, climatology, etc.

During this week, whenever the two of them came and were in the restaurant, they were always being observed by people.

Of course they were just observing.

They don't dare to do reckless things like trying to rob or steal the white devil fruit that Lepus keeps. Well, they are not mad enough trying to steal from two devil fruit user with terrifying abilities.

Today is the last day of the deadline that Lepus has given for Muret's answer.

'I hope she want to join....'

Lepus hopes in his heart.

It was already dusk, Lepus and Brisa were waiting at the restaurant.

Some time later, a group of young people entered the restaurant and then approached the table where Lepus and Brisa were. Of course, the group of young people were Muret, as well as the other from Bellamy cs.

All eyes were on them.

Lepus then spoke to Muret.

"At last.... So, what's your decision?"

"I... want to ask something."

"Please."

"How many crew members do you have at the moment?"

"Just me and Brisa. Three, if you join."

"Do you have a ship already?"

"Not yet. A ship can't be controlled by just two-three people. And besides, I still have to study and prepare for many other things. I'm not in a rush."

"I see.... But don't you have a bounty? Aren't you afraid of being chased?"

"Ah~.... I'm not worried about that. You don't have to worry either if you come with us."

".... Can I bring my friends?"

"I just want you."

Hearing Muret asking Lepus if they could take Muret with them, her friends interrupted.

"Muret! You don't have to invite us!"

"That's right, Muret! You don't have to worry about leaving us!"

"Just relax and take this opportunity!"

"Accept it, Muret! Maybe we'll form our own crew later. This city is boring after all. And maybe we'll meet again one day!"

"That's right, Muret! You take it! This is a precious opportunity for you!"

Hearing the persuasion of her friends, Muret was silent for a moment to think.

After a while, with a stern face, she looked at Lepus and said.

"Fine.... I'm joining you."

Hearing Muret's answer, Lepus and Brisa smiled.

"Great! Welcome aboard!"

After that, Lepus took out something from his bag, namely the white devil fruit and put it on the table.

"As I promised, this is for you."

"This.... Are you sure you want to give this devil fruit to me? Isn't it very valuable?"

"No problem. I promised it anyway.... Just eat it right here and right now. I'm afraid if you trying to take it home, maybe there will be people who greed for it."

Lepus take out a knife then cut the white devil fruit while grinned and looked to the other peoples in the restaurant.

"That's.... Alright."

"Oh, a little warning to you. If you ate a devil fruit, you will no longer be able to swim."

Then, with a sharp stare and tone, Lepus looked at Muret

"Also, if you betrayed us, even if you run or hide to the ends of the world, I can find you."

".... I understand."

Muret then take one piece of the devil fruit and brought it near her mouth.

Seeing Muret who was preparing to eat the devil fruit, other people felt their hearts beating loudly.

Muret then took a bite of the devil fruit's white-colored meat.

"Ughk!"

"Ah! I forgot to mention that it tastes really bad."

Even though she was disgusted and wanted to vomit, Muret force herself to swallowed it.

A few moments later, Lepus asked.

"Did you feel a change in yourself?

"I... I don't know."

"Try to concentrate and then wave your hand."

"I'll try."

Then, Muret focused herself.

Other people also felt palpitations and wondered what kind of ability Muret had got.

After a long silence of concentration, Muret opened her eyes then waved her hand. And what happened was... something like a white liquid came out of her hand!

""""Hm? That's.... What's that?""''"

Everyone wonders.

Then Muret with a slightly wry smile replied.

"It seems... Milk?"

""'""Mi-lk..? Milk!?""""

People are shocked!

Then Lepus spoke.

"Hmm... Milk, huh... So the ability you gain is being able to produce and/or manipulate milk.... However, this is also not to be underestimated. Because it would be quite interesting to imagine if enemies being drowned in the luxury of a milk bath. Heahahahaha!"

"What are you saying!? Hmph!"

Looking at Muret who was a little annoyed and sullen, Lepus then said to her.

"Alright.... Muret, you can name the new devil fruit you get based on the power it gives you. Then, what will you name it?"

"Hmm.... Since this power is producing milk, I'll just name it.... Miru Miru no Mi!"

"Miru Miru no Mi? Miru from Miruku, huh? Well, it's up to you."

Then Muret asked again.

"So.... When are we going?"

"Oh.... I'll give you three days to prepare and say goodbye."

".... Okay. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Then Lepus stood up and said loudly.

"Alright! Attention everyone! To celebrate this, I'll treat everyone tonight! Let's party!"

"""""""""Ooooohhhhhhhh!"""'"""""

Hearing Lepus's statement, the people in the restaurant cheered!
