Chapter 13

"YOU ATE WHAT?" Vox's voice could be heard through the ship.

"I only took a bite of it..." Samuel said meekly

"Me too.." Psy also murmured quietly as she nervously played with her fingers, both of them were standing before Vox with the weird fruit in Psy's hand.

"Oke, so you found this fruit at the bottom of the sea?"

"En" Psy nodded her head.

"Then you let one of the kids eat it before showing such a thing to me?"

"..En.."

"Now what if it is poisonous?"

"Is it!?" Samuel became scared hearing that

"No, it is not..*sigh* forget it." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Vox closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

"This is called a devil fruit it is a -"

"A DEVIL FRUIT??? Will I turn into a devil?"

"SHUT UP DIMWIT AND LET BIG BROTHER SPEAK! Right Big brother?" Lena knocked his head, then looked shyly at Vox. Ignoring her behavior, Vox continued to speak.

"As I was saying, you will gain the power of the devils but in return you can no longer swim."

"Oh, but I couldn't swim before anyway.... Hahaha." Samuel laughed

"it is not a weakness if you were not capable in the first place" murmured Vox as he shook his head.

"Anyway, judging by it's shape it is a paramicia type."

"What is a paramicia type?" Sam asked somewhat worriedly as they spoke about devils and her brother.

"There are 3 types of devil fruits, paramicia, where the devil fruits can be everything depending on what the fruit is. Next is Zoan, which can allow for you to transform an animal according to the fruit then w-"

"Woaaaahh, I want to be a bird!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Then we have Logia, that can allow the user to create, control and transform into a natural power, for example flames." Vox said as he pinched his nose.

"Do you have a feeling that you can do something with your body?" Vox said as he looked at Samuel with expectations.

"I can become hard!" Samuel grinned.

*Thump*

"Dimwit be serious!" Lena knocked his head, besides Samuel, Psy was blushing nervously.

"Stop hitting me! I can really become hard!" Samuel held his head as he looked at Lena.

"Can you try to make your hand hard?" Vox said as he held hand. Which gave him a surprise. 'He really can get hard.. Paramicia Hard Hard Fruit'

"Alright, so you have the power to harden your body, practice that for now, once you grow older then I will help you with the body training." Vox smiled.

Lena at the side looked at Samuel with some pity which was quickly turning into jealously.

"Alright, let's go eat, I am hungry." Vox said as he walked to the table that was set up full of food. Wright and Wendy had 2 chairs between them. Looking at that Vox smiled and summoned Mother Grizzly, scaring the crap out of them.

"Woaaahh! can I touch it?" Lucy said with her eyes shining.

"Thank Psy for the food."

"Thank you big sister Psy!"

--------------------

"We don't have their location mistress." A bald man with a heart shaped scar on his face was speaking to a woman with red hair and a particular set of eyes. The woman was missing 1 arm as she drank a glass of what seemed to be wine.

"Useless! You had one job! bring the experiments here so that we can test on them! 1 damn job! *SLAM* " She slammed her remaining hand against the armrest of the chair.

"We can't fight that monster alone, get out." The bald man stood up and got out of the room, leaving it empty.

The woman took out a small Den Den Mushi from her coat and dialed someone.

"Pero pero pero. Pero Pero Pero. Cling!"

"Oh, if this isn't Mila, how is east blue, love?" A feminine voice was heard through the snail.

"Not good sister, the experiments were taken from us." Mila said as she put the Den Den Mushi on the armrest of the chair.

"That is not good, they are the only successful ones, the research was destroyed along with the other experiments." the female said and furrowed her brows.

"I will need assistance, I lost 6 of my ships in the fight for them, Renald and Hannes also died." Mila spoke a bit sad for losing so many of her subordinates.

"Was the enemy that strong? since when is there someone in East Blue that could match those 2? Not to mention you?" The voice sounded surprised.

"The opponent had multiple devil fruit users, a zoan type that could control wind, my guess it may be a mythical zoan. There was also a merman that was able to control water to much greater degree that even those at the grand line, I killed him but he killed Renald before that. There also a little girl capable of flying and she was close to being a a whip master. They had a man in weird blue outfit able to control and shoot water bubbles, but I think he has no devil fruits. The worst ones w-"

"Why were they in East Blue?" The voice cut her off.

"I don't know sis, but we were not their match, a robot dog was so strong that even I was not his match, I even lost an arm to it."

"That is not good... We need them if we want to make any improvements in our research." The female voice became a murmur for a bit before sounding again.

"Alright, I will send Saw and Ardan with 10 ships to East Blue."

"Big brother Ardan and Mister Saw?" Mila sounded surprised.

"Are they too much?" the female voice sounded from the snail.

"No, no.. they are not, our enemy is in the dark. I don't know if he has any other allies. Thank you sister Malene."

"Don't mention it, if we want to achieve our ancestors dream, we need those kids! Work on finding them and attack once the reinforcements is there." Malene's voiced before being abruptly cut off.

After having dinner, Vox went back to his physical training, but when he walked past Lena, he remembered something.

"Lena come here." Vox told Lena, who was practicing with a weird looking blade. "

'That looks similar to mine...'

"Yes big brother!" Lena ran to him. Come with me, I want to test something." Vox said and walked to the captain's cabin.

When Lena saw that she blushed and walked behind him shyly.

'Ahhh, me and big brother alone... hehehe, hehehe." Lena was laughing silly, not seeing how her sister Lucy looked at her with a sad expression.

'First Wendy and Wright and now big sis too..' Lucy thought as she remembered that ever since they got on this ship, her siblings were developing weird kinks.

'I won't become like them, right?' A bit scared at the thought Lucy shook her head and resumed her practice. She had a very unique weapon, it was in the shape of a katana, but it was much longer than a traditional one, looked very odd for her build. But somehow she was able to wield it.
