"This."

Seeing the thing that Lepus took out, Muret and her friends, as well as several other people in the restaurant who were watching Lepus and Muret's conversation were very surprised!

The thing that Lepus took out from the bag looked like a fruit. But this fruit is different from the usual because it is white with a swirl motif!

"""""Devil fruit!?"""""

"Exactly."

Lepus found the white devil fruit when he and Brisa were on an uninhabited island before. They found it while exploring the island.

"You can take it if you accept my offer and come with us."

Seeing that there was a devil fruit, several people in the restaurant became bustling.

"Oi, oi, oi! That's really is a devil fruit!?"

"Seriously!?"

"Did I not see wrong!?"

"Hey, is this a dream? Pinch me!"

"Hey, young man! Just give it to me! I will be your crew even if it's just an errand boy!"

"No! Me! I would do anything for you!"

"No! I'm better!"

"Take me as your underling, man!"

"I'm way better than them!"

"No! I'm the best for you!"

Seeing the people getting rowdy, Lepus used a bit of sound boundary manipulation then shouted loudly.

"Silence!"

Then, one by one, people closed their mouths.

Then Lepus asked Muret again.

"So? What about you? Do you interested?"

Muret was silent.

Seeing the silent Muret, her friends spoke.

"Muret, this is a rare opportunity!"

"Right! Just take it!"

"Go with it! There's nothing interesting in this town anyway!"

"Right! This town is pretty boring! You can go with him!"

Then Muret asked again.

"Why don't you eat the devil fruit yourself?"

"Oh. Because I already have. Brisa too.... Why don't we show you a little of our ability? Brisa, do it."

Then, Brisa turns one hand into a sword and slashes at Lepus's body!

But of course is still okay and Brisa's slash was just like slashing through the wind.

""""""What!!!!???""""""

Seeing what Lepus and Brisa showed, Muret and his friends, as well as the other people who were watching were shocked!

"That's!? What ability is that!?"

One of Bellamy cs. asked in surprise!

"My ability is from Kara Kara no Mi. I can make my body hollow/empty like it's just an illusion. While Brisa's ability is from Buki Buki no Mi. She can turn any parts of her body into various kinds of weapons."

"What the heck is that!? That's terrifying!"

"So cool!"

"That's great!"

"Amazing!"

Muret then asked again curiously.

"Then, what about that white devil fruit?"

Lepus answered with a frown and hesitation.

".... I don't know. I've looked into the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but nothing matches. So, it's likely a new devil fruit.... You can eat it if you accept my offer. And you don't have to worry about your safety while you're with us either.... Remember, the offer this time is for you. If you refuse, we will go elsewhere and find someone else."

"I see.... I... want to think and consider it first."

"No problem.... But if you can, please give your decision today or in a week at the latest. You can meet us at this restaurant at mealtime if you looking for us.... Alright, that's all."

After speaking, Lepus put the white devil fruit back into his bag to the gap. Then, he and Brisa headed to the nearest empty table and called a waiter to order food and drinks.
