With the Tontatta tribe in hand, Dylan had no choice but to take a boat back to Drum Island.

Neither Mansherry nor Leo could withstand the friction caused by ultra-high-speed movement.

This is why Dylan told Dr. Kureha from the beginning that he would need a month to return.

Halfway through the voyage, two CP ships approached each other.

Dylan looked at the CP0 agent, who had never shown his face: "I'm just using your boat, why do you look so upset?"

This time, CP0 did not say anything like, "According to regulations, you cannot directly command CP." Instead, he said slightly teasingly: "Maybe you are the real commander of CP0..."

Given Mansherry's abilities, Bell-mère's injury was safe, and Dylan's mood improved.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

CP0 put the suitcase in front of Dylan and took out a small box from his coat.

"This is the fruit Mariejois promised you before, and what you commissioned Vegapunk to make."

"Huh!?" Dylan ignored the suitcase on the floor and quickly took the small box into his hand.

A silver-gray ring lay in the box.

"Vegapunk said that the ring itself is made of a special alloy. At present, no one or any means can destroy it with brute force. Of course, some weirder fruit abilities cannot be ruled out."

Dylan put the ring on his finger, and a strange feeling appeared in his consciousness.

Looking at the suitcase on the ground and CP0 standing opposite, Dylan raised the corner of his mouth.

CP0 disappeared in place.

Ring space.

CP0 stands in the empty castle.

"········"

"··········Don't make such silly jokes, let me out quickly, I still have a mission."

Dylan's mind moved, and CP0 appeared on the spot again.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied."

Dylan looked at the ring on his hand with great joy.

The space ring is awesome!

He picked up the suitcase and opened it, revealing a red-gold Devil Fruit. The texture of the fruit showed a sharp feather shape.

"What breed?"

CP0 looked at the fruit in his hand and seemed a little envious.

"Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Garuda."

Garuda!? The kind that specializes in eating dragons?

So cool... Do you want it steamed or braised?

However, currently, I don't have anyone suitable to eat this fruit.

But it's always good to collect more good things.

After putting away the fruit, Dylan looked at the four warriors of the Tontatta tribe who were practicing on the boat for a while.

"Hey, Leo!"

Leo heard Dylan's voice and came to Dylan's side in an instant.

"Dylando!" Leo stood in front of Dylan seriously, as if waiting for his order.

"Huh? Why are you so serious?" Dylan was a little puzzled.

Leo hesitated for a moment and then said: "The king told me before we came that we bear the fate of the Tontatta tribe, and also the name of 'justice'! So please tell me anything."

"You are really reliable, 'Warrior' Leo."

Leo looked at Dylan, a little embarrassed, but still tensed his little body.

"That's right, Leo, your racial talents are very special. Of course, I'm not talking about cultivating plants, but your physical fitness."

The Tontatta tribe are born with strength several times higher than that of humans, similar to Leo and Wicca, and even have dozens of times the strength of ordinary people. They are short in size but move very quickly, making them very suitable for shuttling through the battlefield to find weak points.

"I've thought of something very suitable for you. With your talents, you should be able to master it easily."

"What is it, Dylando?" Leo's eyes lit up.

As a warrior, he also thirsted for power.

Especially when Princess Mansherry and her friends were kidnapped and he was unable to do anything.

"One is Marine's unique technique called Rokushiki. The other is Haki."

Dylan thought for a while and then said: "Although Rokushiki has six moves, I don't think the others are applicable to you. 

You can just focus on practicing Soru, Geppo, and Shigan.

As for Haki...with your strength and the hardening of Armament Haki, your combat effectiveness should be significantly improved."

On the way to Drum Island, Dylan carefully explained to them the use of Rokushiki and Haki. To ensure his explanations were detailed enough, Dylan would pull out CP0 as a guest lecturer from time to time.

Although Rokushiki is known as "Marine Six Styles," the real experts are the "CP Organization."

"Soru!"

Leo's figure flashed, and if Dylan's vision hadn't been strong enough, there would have been no way to capture his movements.

"Not bad! Leo, this move is really suitable for you."

"Thank you very much, Dylando!" Leo stood in front of Dylan and bowed.

Just when Dylan was about to be polite, the whole boat shook crazily.

Boom!

Boom!!

In the far corner, Wicca was hammering the deck frantically: "Damn it, why am I so weak!! Why am I so stupid, why can't I always learn!!"

Looking at the shattered deck, CP0 and Dylan, who were standing next to Dylan, looked at each other.

"······"

"······"

"That...Wicca...Wicca...Wicca!!! Stop hammering now! If you hammer again, the ship will sink!!"

Seeing Wicca, whose hands were covered with shiny Armament Haki, kneeling in the corner and beating the "ground" crazily because she didn't learn how to "Soru," Dylan quickly stopped her loudly.

"Ah!!? Dylando!! I'm sorry, did I cause you trouble again!? I'm such an idiot, damn it, I..."

Seeing that Wicca was about to lie down on the ground and cause secondary damage to the deck, Dylan quickly said loudly: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't hammer it yet! Although the boat is not ours, hammering it will delay the journey."

CP0 turned his head and looked at Dylan expressionlessly.

Wicca wiped away tears and walked to Dylan, crying and said: "Dylando..."

Dylan stretched out his hand, and Wicca jumped into his hand with some embarrassment. Looking at Wicca who was still crying, Dylan flicked her forehead.

"Who said you are weak?"

As soon as this topic was brought up, Wicca's tears immediately fell again: "Leo and the others have mastered techniques, but I have not succeeded in learning anything..."

"Didn't you learn Armament Haki?"

"Armament Haki?"

"...Didn't you notice anything when you were hammering the ship just now?"

Wicca raised her hand and wiped her tears: "No... I just felt stupid and sad..."

An unconscious awakening? But this character... Tsk, forget it, leave it to Bell-mère. They're both women anyway.

After finally appeasing Wicca, the ship arrived at Drum Island.

When everyone returned to Dr. Kureha's castle, Bell-mère had already woken up.

The moment she saw Dylan, Bell-mère grinned: "I've caused trouble for you, Dylan."

Dylan rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "Now do you understand why I didn't cause trouble for the pirates in the New World?"

Bell-mère laughed: "Ah~ah~!! I'm being disliked again."

Although their words were mean, their concern and gratitude were clear.

Dr. Kureha sat beside Bell-mère's bed, drinking wine, relieved to see Dylan back.

This woman's injuries were beyond the ability of ordinary people to heal. What was he going to do?

"Mansherry... please." Dylan turned his head and looked at Mansherry sitting on his shoulder, speaking seriously.

When Mansherry flew out, Dylan suddenly thought of something and said again: "Just treat her injuries, Mansherry. Don't waste your life to return her to her original state. Your health is also very important."

Mansherry was startled in the air and wrung her hands together. She had planned to use her special ability to fully heal the woman in front of her. After all, this was the first time Dylando had asked her to do something.

"A Tontatta tribesmen?" Dr. Kureha looked at Mansherry, a little confused.

Bell-mère is not a plant, a Tontatta...

Two drops of crystal tears slid down Mansherry's cheeks. She held them with her hands and sprinkled them on Bell-mère.

After only two breaths, Bell-mère's body recovered.

"Heal-Heal Fruit?" Dr. Kureha said with a smile, "What an amazing ability."

Snap!

Next to the wall in the distance, a civet cat...no, a reindeer, had its head hidden in the wall and its body exposed.

"Chopper, come here, they are my friends, they are good people."

Bell-mère waved to the reindeer.

"Hey~~~Bell...Bell-mère, are you healed!?" Chopper was very surprised when he saw Bell-mère had recovered.

"Yes. It is a 'Heal-Heal Fruit' that can cure all diseases and injuries. Of course, Dr. Chopper's care these days was also very important. Chopper is a very great doctor."

"I...I...I won't be happy!!! Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy~~~~"

Looking at the squirming Chopper, Dylan had a weird look on his face.

Is his fruit Human-Human Fruit or a Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit Model: Normal Human?
