บท 42: The Super delicious fruit!
After listening to John's introduction of abilities, Sarah and the others hurriedly urged Olivia to eat the Cloud Cloud Fruit.
As for the miraculous Moon Rabbit Fruit that John mentioned, they were a little repulsed by it in their hearts. After all, it was a myth they had never heard of. Wouldn't it be nice to just stay human?
Why become an animal?
Olivia didn't hesitate for long. She looked at John and asked,
"Boss, can we just eat it?"
"Well, you can eat it however you like. As long as you eat it, you'll gain abilities."
As he said that, John grinned a mischievous smile and added,
"Don't worry, there will be surprises."
Olivia felt a bit uneasy at John's smile, but her curiosity won over. She wanted to personally verify if John's explanation was true or not.
Since they had just entered the game and had no tools aside from the clothes they started with, Olivia could only take a dry bite of the Cloud Cloud Fruit. She opened her lips and closed them again, biting off a piece of the snow-white flesh. Almost immediately, her pupils dilated, and she was about to spit it out in disgust.
John quickly snapped his fingers, using his game administrator authority to seal her mouth shut. He suppressed a chuckle,
"Don't spit it out—you'd have to eat it again."
"???"
Eat it again?
"Uuuuuuuuuu~~~"
Olivia's eyes widened, her cheeks puffed out, but after a long while, she finally swallowed the disgusting pulp.
"How about it, was it a surprise?" John grinned, showing his teeth, looking like he deserved a punch.
But Olivia couldn't care about John's smug face at that moment. After swallowing the Cloud Cloud Fruit, she felt a strange power coursing through her body.
Following her instincts, she extended her white arms forward and relaxed. Suddenly, she floated into the air before everyone's eyes!
"Olivia!"
"Wow! She can really fly!"
"I…"
Olivia was equally stunned. She had merely tried to control the new power within her, and her body had instantly entered an elemental state, hovering in midair. She was a little overwhelmed.
Around her, a cloud of mist began to swirl, expanding from her as the center. The mist reflected her nervous emotions, and parts of it slowly darkened.
One of the cloud's abilities was weather control.
"It's all about mental focus," John reminded.
Poor control of abilities was a normal occurrence for novice Devil Fruit users. Even Luffy, after eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi, took time to fully master his power.
Hearing John's advice, Olivia steadied her nerves. After a lot of effort, she managed to recall all the scattered clouds back into her body, landing on the ground, slightly out of breath.
Except for special cases like the Yami Yami no Mi, elementalization is a major feature of the Logia type, but using powers consumes physical stamina. As a beginner, Olivia found herself quickly exhausted.
Back on the ground, Sarah, Emily, and the others crowded around her, bombarding her with questions about her experience.
"This ability… How should I say it? It's incredible!"
Normally reserved, Olivia couldn't hide her excitement after experiencing the power of the Devil Fruit for herself.
"Olivia, you had such a weird look when you ate the fruit. Was something wrong?" Sarah asked suddenly.
"Uh…" The corner of Olivia's mouth twitched, glancing at John who was watching with amusement. She smiled slightly,
"No, it's just that the Cloud Cloud Fruit was too sweet. I took too big of a bite and got choked."
John: "???"
Here we go!
She's twisting the truth!
"Really?"
"Yeah, of course. Sarah, you'll know if you try it."
Olivia held out the remnants of the Cloud Cloud Fruit to the others, now mostly an empty shell.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Sarah took a bite. Her face immediately contorted into a strange expression, but instead of complaining, she followed Olivia's lead, saying,
"It's really… a little too sweet."
"Really? I love sweet things!" Emily's eyes sparkled, and she eagerly took her turn, biting into the fruit.
"…It's definitely sweet." She quickly lowered her head, hiding her true expression. She couldn't risk showing what she really thought.
The rest of the group followed suit, each taking a bite and then pretending to agree with the others. When Alice was the last to try, all of them, in unison, declared the fruit "too sweet!"
…
"Boss, you did that on purpose!"
"Yeah, you're awful, boss!"
A few small fists playfully punched John, but he remained unfazed, smiling calmly,
"Hey, it wasn't me! Olivia over there started it."
"…"
Suddenly, a commanding voice interrupted their lighthearted moment.
"Hey! You all must be the pirates who landed in Loguetown, right?"
They turned to see a muscular, silver-haired man in a white uniform, shirtless, with two cigars smoking as he glared at them. This was Smoker, the Smoke Smoke Fruit user, and the top officer in Loguetown.
"You're another Logia user!"
Smoker's eyes locked on Olivia with caution, his Jitte made from Seastone ready for battle.
When Olivia used her powers, the disturbance hadn't gone unnoticed. As a fellow Logia user, Smoker was acutely aware of the potential danger she posed.
"Don't panic," John calmly transmitted a message to Olivia,
"Even if you can't beat him, it's not hard to escape. Try using rain clouds."
The essence of smoke is small, solid particles floating in the air, while clouds are tiny droplets or ice crystals. While their natures may counter each other, the Cloud Cloud Fruit has the ability to control the weather.
And as everyone knows, Smoker and rainy days don't mix well.
Taking John's advice, Olivia activated her powers again, turning into a massive cloud and floating skyward. Under her careful control, the cloud darkened into a cumulonimbus.
Seeing this, Smoker's expression darkened. He barked orders at his subordinates,
"Watch out below!"
He turned into smoke, flying upwards to engage Olivia, but her cumulonimbus cloud had already formed.
In a flash, rain poured down in torrents.
Soaked mid-flight, Smoker plummeted back to the ground.
"Curse these pirates! The power to control weather! Cloud Cloud Fruit!"
Gritting his teeth, Smoker glared in the direction where John and the others had been. His voice seethed with fury as he shouted,
"Where did they go?!"
"Colonel Smoker! They disappeared as we tried to catch up!" One of the navy soldiers replied nervously.
"Just… disappeared? What kind of crazy ability is that?"
"Where did these pirates come from?!!"
