Chapter 15 Shanks Won The Reward, The Phoenix Arm!

the Mythical Zoan Human Human Fruit Model: Nika rolled to Luffy's feet for the second time, leaving everyone in the bar dumbfounded.

"Seems like this Rubber Rubber Fruit really likes this kid, huh" Lucky Roo chuckled and walked over to pick up the Devil Fruit again.

However, Shanks stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"

Lucky Roo stood still and asked, "Huh? Boss, what's wrong?"

Shanks stood up from his seat, walked over to Luffy, and picked up the Devil Fruit from the ground. He stared at it for a while, as if making a decision.

"Luffy, have you heard of Devil Fruits?"

"I've heard of them, but I've never seen one."

Luffy had seen the power of Devil Fruits on the warship before. He knew that they were fruits that granted extraordinary abilities when eaten. However, he had never seen what a Devil Fruit looked like and thought they looked like ordinary fruits.

"Well, now you've seen one. This is a type of Devil Fruit called The Rubber Rubber Fruit, it is a Paracemia Devil Fruit."

"This is a Devil Fruit!?"

"Yes. Once you eat it, you'll become a rubber person, but at the same time, you'll be cursed by the sea and become unable to swim forever."

"I know about not being able to swim. I've heard of it." Luffy nodded, then looked puzzled. "But why would you tell me all this, Uncle Shanks?"

Shanks said, "Luffy, do you believe in fate? This Devil Fruit rolled to your feet twice, and I feel like it's not a coincidence. If you want, I'd like to give you this Devil Fruit as a gift."

Luffy quickly refused Shanks' generous offer, saying it was too valuable!

Although Luffy didn't know how much money this Devil Fruit could fetch, he knew it was definitely a huge sum!

Faced with Luffy's sincerity, Shanks laughed heartily and said, "As pirates, we value freedom above all else! The value of this Devil Fruit doesn't matter; what matters is that it chose you. Don't worry about the money. The key is whether you want it. If you happen to choose it, you can repay me in the future."

It chose him...? Luffy stared at the Rubber Fruit, deep in thought.

The scene of the Devil Fruit rolling to his feet twice replayed in his mind...

Did it really choose him??

But if it chose him, does he have to choose it...?

But... if he miss this chance, someone else will most likely eat this Devil Fruit, and once it's missed, it's missed forever...

Should he cherish this magical fate or ignore it?

Luffy's mind was in turmoil, struggling like a whirpool.

Shanks remained silent, and under his gaze, the Red Hair Pirates' officers also kept quiet.

He didn't want to influence Luffy's decision. In his view, if it was truly a special fate, it should be entirely up to Luffy to decide!

Luffy pondered for a long time, and when he looked up again, there was no trace of hesitation on his young face.

"I want it!" Luffy's gaze was resolute.

He ultimately decided to follow his heart!!

"Uncle Shanks, when I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay you for this Devil Fruit." Luffy said.

"No problem, it's yours now!" Seeing Luffy accept the Devil Fruit, Shanks didn't show much excitement in his heart.

He left everything to fate!

Luffy accepted the Devil Fruit and bid farewell to Shanks once again, preparing to leave.

But before he could take a step, Shanks called out to him again...

"Huh? Uncle Shanks?"

"Luffy, do you still want to learn the Conqueror's Haki training method I taught you earlier?"

"I do!" Luffy's eyes lit up!

By the time Luffy left the bar, it was already getting late in the evening.

When he returned home, he didn't care about anything else and immediately found paper and pen to write down the training method Shanks had taught him in detail. Although he couldn't replicate it completely, he recorded it quite accurately.

As for the Rubber Fruit, he didn't immediately eat it.

He was still hesitating.

Becoming a Devil Fruit User, but also becoming unable to swim!

This was something that needed careful consideration.

Days passed one by one...

Finally, on a certain morning, one month after Luffy obtained the Rubber Fruit, he ate it!

The video ended, and it was clear that the answer had been determined!!
