บท 22: Getting Eaten by a Plant

"Hey, it's not my fault that Usopp fell from my hands. I should be the winner." Zoro shouted at Liam who was bragging about his win.

"Can you not embarrass yourself anymore? If you win with Liam still lifting Nami-San, it would be a true embarrassment to even Marimos." Sanji spoke as he let out a big smirk.

"Shut up, perverted cook!" Zoro immediately threw his frustration at Sanji and both of them started bickering.

"Liam, you got to see this." Usopp shouted from a bit far. He was standing next to a big hole on that hill like a volcano.

Liam got curious and walked near Usopp. He also glanced at the pit and saw a giant plant in the middle. Seeing this, his eyes narrowed. It felt like the place where Usopp landed before time-skip.

But, he could clearly conclude that it wasn't this island. But, the plant in the middle of this island was almost the same as the whole plant island where Usopp went.

"I didn't expect this island to have this planet. If we fall, we might get consumed by the planet and never come out." Liam muttered as he analyzed the plant.

He picked up a rock and threw it at the plant. When the rock touched the plant, nothing happened.

"Are you sure? It didn't open its mouth." Usopp turned his head at Liam and asked.

Suddenly, Liam caught Usopp's hand and lifted him upside-down above the plant.

"Ahhhhhhh! L-l-l-liam… what are you doing?" Usopp screamed when he realized his own situation. Zoro and Sanji stopped bickering as they looked at Liam with confusion.

They knew he wasn't going to put Usopp's life at risk but then why did he do this? Nami was also confused.

Ckrwak!

Suddenly, the plant opened its mouth and sprung up. Liam pulled Usopp with all of his strength and managed to pull him away from the plant. It didn't manage to eat Usopp but it didn't immediately go down rather attacked Liam.

"Poitrine!"

Bang!

Whoosh!

"One Sword Style- Leopard Strike!"

Ka-cha!

One of the branches of the plant fell to the ground. Zoro landed a few steps away. Suddenly, he ducked as another branch passed by his previous position. But, before the plant could move further, another figure rushed toward it.

Liam clenched his fist and poured all of his strength at his fist. There was no holding back. He stomped on the ground and jumped. His body floated above the head of that plant and before it could open its mouth.

Bam!

Liam tightened his muscles and punched the plant with all his strength. The shrunk down for a moment but that punch didn't harm it much. So, it immediately countered with a branch that wrapped his wrist.

Ka-cha!

When it caught his wrist, Liam opened his mouth wide and bite the branch with all of his strength. Spinach! It was just like spinach. He simply chewed it.

But, it didn't end there. As soon as he got out of its grip, Liam caught its branch and used it to propel himself above the plant once again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His body started spinning around as his right leg changed into a nail. With a powerful force, he fell toward the plant

Ka-cha!

His toes pierced the plant because of his insane speed and force. Seeing this, Sanji who was waiting for his turn dropped the cigarette and muttered.

"Damn! He already got the basics?"

Actually, after Sanji joined while they were training, he asked Sanji about his Black Leg Martial Art. He wanted to learn some core understanding of this martial art.

As for basics, he already knew. He might not have watched One Piece 10 times without skipping several arcs but he still watched it 10 times even if it was by skipping.

But, there were things that he tried at home like Black Leg Martial Art, Three Swords Style, Fishman Karate, just for fun. He didn't expect that all those things that he did would come in handy.

But, Liam didn't stop there. When he kicked the plant, he used the force generated by his leg to somersault high in the sky. At this moment, he spread out both of his hands.

"No Sword Style"

"Great Paragon's Chop!'

Ka-cha!

"Damn, not mine too!" Zoro shouted when he saw Liam using No Sword Style. But unlike Sanji, Liam got a lot of time to train with swords. Even in the beginning, he was using the sword to train.

Although he didn't train to become a great swordsman, he did learn a few tricks especially the No Sword Style. This style allowed him to be more versatile with his fist alone.

Before, he couldn't cut with his arm. Even now, he can't cut properly with his arm. But, he can still inflict damage just like swords.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the plant released two different vines at the same time. Liam managed to dodge one of them but the next one struck him on his chest. It was like a whip and really powerful.

Crack!

Just a single attack and he could feel his bones cracking.

"Gomu-Gomu No- Gatling!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a figure sprung into the sky and fell toward the plant. Luffy put all of his strength into his fists and launched a barrage of punches, each striking the plant with the force nearly five times more than Liam's punch.

The plant slowly started shrinking back to the pit but suddenly, it released dozens of vines toward Luffy. This caught Luffy off guard but just when it was about to wrap him, Liam pushed him away and got wrapped instead.

Whoosh!

In front of the eyes of straw hats, Liam got eaten by the plant and the plant returned to the pit. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp looked as if they have seen their family member dying.

But, suddenly, Zoro shouted.

"Luffy, jump!"

While shouting, Zoro jumped toward the pit without even hesitating for a second. Sanji did the same and Luffy also did the same. He stretched his legs as they caught his legs while he caught the side of the pit and slowly helped them reach the bottom.

The bottom was quite empty. Except for that plant, there was almost nothing around. And, the plant was in the middle.

"Bastard, give my friend back!"

"Gomu-Gomu No- Gattling!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Luffy punched again and again but it didn't work at all. NO matter how many punches he used, it couldn't break the plant or even move it.

"One Sword Style"

"Leopard Strike"

Ka-cha!

Zoro's sword managed to pierce it a little bit but in an instant, the plant recovered. It didn't even leave a scar.

"Collier!" Bang!

"Epaule!" Bang!

"Cotellete!" Bang!

Strike after strike, Sanji also used all the attacks from his arsenal but it didn't manage to burst open the plant's belly.

"Luffy, DO SOMETHING!"

Nami shouted from the top of the pit. She was almost on the verge of crying. While everyone was feeling the loss, she was feeling a lot of it.

"Gomu-Gomu No- Pistol"

"Gomu-Gomu No- Spear"

"Gomu-Gomu No- Battle Axe"

"Gomu-Gomu No- Bazooka"

Luffy also used every attack on his arsenal but none of them work. Nami seeing this let out some droplets of tears. At this moment, Zoro suddenly turned at Luffy and shouted.

"Luffy, do that contraction! It increases your power by a lot."

Luffy hearing Zoro's words realized it as well. He instantly clenched his fist and started contracting his muscles. He walked closer to the plant. He knew he had to put all of his strength into this strike if he wants to help Liam get out of it.

After contracting a lot of his muscles, he started feeling pain. He gritted his teeth.

'No, it won't be enough. I need stronger power. I am going to get Liam out of this. No matter what it takes.'

Luffy kept on going until his arm contracted to the size of a baby's arm. It wasn't like baby Luffy which was the side effect of Gear Third. No, in fact, this was the true shape of the contraction.

Normally, the contraction is generally understood as the natural length of rubber but it is false. Even from that length, the rubber can still be contracted though it would be more difficult than stretching.

"GIVE MY FRIEND BACK!"

"Gomu-Gomu No- Retrieval Fist"

Bang! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

The punch struck the plant so damn hard it managed to burst the plant into pieces. Inside the plant, it was all a green liquid. And on that green liquid, it was Liam.

He was barely able to open his eyes and for some reason, they see his body slowly losing its strength. They hurriedly rushed next to him. At this moment, Liam slowly opened his mouth. He had curled his body and between his hands, he was holding a fruit with a weird shape and color.

"C-c-c-a-pain… look what I've found!"

บท 23: Losing Devil Fruit

"Oi, oi, isn't that a devil fruit?" Sanji's eyes narrowed when he saw the fruit in Liam's hand.

"Hehe….. Hah…. It seems like a devil fruit user died here and its power got transferred to the only fruit inside this plant. It looks like paramecia." Liam heavily breathed and spoke.

"By the way, what's happening with you? Why do you sound so weak?" Zoro looked at him with surprise and asked.

"Hah… hah…. This plant was sucking my energy while I was inside it." Liam answered.

"Anyway, let's return back to the ship. You should take a bath while I will cook something for you." Sanji said while looking at Luffy.

But, Luffy was simply staring at the devil fruit thinking about whether he could eat it or not.

"Hu…. You can't eat it, Luffy. Eating two devil fruits will kill you." Liam shook his head as he immediately understood Luffy's intention/

"Alright, let's leave!" When Luffy got the mark that he can't eat it, his mind instantly processed what Sanji told him as he turned around. He stretched his hand and caught the top of the pit.

Zoro and Sanji looked at Liam and sighed.

"It seems like all of us are going to take a bath."

Although disgusted, they still held Liam and then grabbed Luffy's body.

Whoosh!

Luffy used his Gomu-Gomu No- Rocket and flew them out of there but now, there was a problem with landing.

Bang! Crash! Crash! Crash!

Four of them fell down the hill and crashed a few times. Nami and Usopp hurriedly went down as well. Because they were literally on their path to the bottom, they didn't stop so on the way, Usopp and Nami lifted those arms and legs weights and threw them down as well.

Although they were going down, they couldn't lift those weights for long. So, they simply threw them and continued throwing them until they reached the bottom.

"Liam!" Nami screamed when she saw Liam and others on the ground with stars moving around their heads. But when she reached near him, she got disgusted by the liquid covering Liam.

'Nami, calm down!' She forcefully calmed herself and wait for the boys to recover. It took them a while. Normally, they would get angry at Luffy but since this time it was necessary, they didn't argue with Luffy but instead helped Liam stand.

Because of a lack of energy, Liam was having a hard time standing. But, after they reached the seashore, he eventually recovered a little. They helped him get on the ship.

"By the way, Liam, are you going to eat this devil fruit?" Sanji asked as they reached on the deck.

"I am not sure. I don't even know what devil fruit this is?" Liam shrugged his shoulders.

"I have read Devil Fruit Encyclopedia once and I was able to learn that there was a devil fruit that makes a person almost unkillable. This fruit looks exactly the same. I have the feeling that this fruit will suit your fighting style." Sanji spoke with a slight surprise on his face.

"Really? What's its name?" Liam asked.

"Roots-Roots Fruit. It allows user to absorb water or any other nutrient liquid and used it for healing, regrowing body parts, and even manipulating the liquid it has absorbed."

"The reason it caught my eyes was that this was the only fruit that could still work in water. I mean you would still suffer from the curse of not being able to swim in the water but at the same time, it can absorb the sea water."

"I don't know how that is possible but this fruit will be really useful to you." Sanji said.

Hearing his words, Liam's eyes widened. He didn't expect such fruit to exist. He didn't eat it immediately though. He thought for a moment and said "Let's put on the cabin for now."

"I will take a proper bath and eat something before eating that or else, it will harm my taste bud for the entire day."

Sanji nodded his head as they went inside the cabin. Liam put it on the table and went to take a bath. Sanji helped him by heating up some water which he mixed with cold water and took a nice bath.

After cleaning himself, he finally wore new clothes. He liked wearing full black. He wore a black t-shirt and black pants like Sanji. He walked out of the bathing room and entered the cabin where Sanji had cooked a lot of food.

Nami was forcefully stopping Luffy from eating anything but when he arrived, she finally let Luffy go. But, Liam wasn't going down that easily.

He immediately grabbed chunks of meat and started eating faster than others but still slower than Luffy.

Bam! Bam!

"Can't you two eat slowly and let others have some as well?" Nami punched both of their heads and spoke.

"Sorry!" Liam and Luffy begged for forgiveness but they still didn't stop eating.

Splash! Splash!

Suddenly, the ship started moving on its own. The sea waves started striking the ship and shaking it.

"What's going on?" Liam hurriedly took a few pieces of meat in his hand and rushed out of the cabin. Luffy did the same while others simply went out empty-handed.

They saw the island getting farther and farther.

"Woah! That island can move?" Luffy shouted.

Bam!

"Idiot, we are getting pushed by the waves. It happens a few times a year. Many sailors said that this island doesn't let anyone approach it that easily. Although it was certainly mysterious, I still don't understand what made those animals so afraid that they were basically running to the edge of the island."

"Could it be that plant?" Nami asked.

"I also think it was because of that plant. After all, it was sucking my energy which means it could also suck other animals' energy." Liam nodded his head and explained.

"Woahhhhhh!" Suddenly, the front of the ship lifted up almost sixty degrees by the waves which made them cling to the different parts of the ship.

"Zoro, Liam, unfold the sails. Sanji, Usopp turn the ship around. We need to get out before these waves completely overturn our ship." Nami saw the potential danger immediately and commanded them.

Liam and Zoro rushed toward the top of the main mast while Sanji and Usopp started turning the ship. Due to the waves, it was getting harder to move the rudder.

Fortunately, Sanji was strong enough and with Usopp's help, it didn't take long. The ship turned around and with the sails unfolded, they finally set away from that island.

"Liam, we got a problem."

Suddenly, Sanji shouted from the cabin which surprised Zoro and Liam. Both of them rushed inside as they see Sanji standing in front of the table.

"What happened?" Liam asked as he walked toward Sanji.

"The devil fruit... it's gone." Sanji pointed at the table and spoke.

"What? Damn it, sea waves must have thrown it around. Let's search for it. We must find it." Liam's eyes widened hearing that. His face turned ugly as he started looking around the sea. They searched the entire cabin but didn't find a single clue to where the fruit went.

"It must have fallen to sea." Liam ran out of the cabin and just when he was about to jump, Zoro and Sanji caught him.

"Idiot, look in front of you!"

Both of them shouted at his face. They pointed their hands at the sea. There was a massive sea tornado behind. Liam was also shocked when he saw the sea tornado and finally understood why Nami suddenly gave the order to go away as soon as possible.

"That devil fruit might be amazing but it isn't worth the risk. And, it has already gone under the sea. How can you expect to find it?" Zoro spoke.

"Besides, even without devil fruit, we can still get strong, can't we?" Sanji asked.

Liam took a deep breath and nodded his head "Thanks for reminding me. I almost lose my coolness."

"When did you become cool? You look like a sickly moron." Sanji rolled his eyes and spoke.

"Ahh meat!" Liam suddenly slapped his cheeks and rushed inside the cabin.

Zoro and Sanji shook their heads and entered the cabin as well.

"Luffy, that belongs to me." Seeing the last chunk of meat in front of Luffy, Liam roared.

"But, I got it first." Luffy giggled as he held the meat. But before, he put it in his mouth, Liam threw the sandal between his mouth and the meat. When Luffy opened his mouth, instead of eating meat, the sandal entered his mouth.

"Argh!"

Luffy realized that he had eaten something that is not food and immediately tried to spit it out. While he was doing that, Liam caught the meat away from his hand and ran away.

But, Luffy didn't give up. He realized that by the time he spits sandal, Liam would finish the meat. So, he simply swallowed the sandal and chased Liam.

"You guys!" Nami shouted seeing their actions but soon, the entire crew burst into laughter.

At this moment, there was a barrel at the corner of the ship. Under that barrel, there was a medium-sized hole. There were a few rays of light inside the ship from that hole and some other holes.

And, the light was shining on a small fist-sized weirdly shaped fruit.

Roots-Roots Fruit was inside the ship

But, none of the straw hats were aware of that at least, none of the current straw hats.
