NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: The Truth
The truth: "Ah, it hurts!!!"
An intense pain, as if a broken bone was coming from his coccyx, made Xiao Yan shudder.
However, he did not pay too much attention to it. After the pain subsided, he quickly touched his arms. Thank God, the Thunder Fruit was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief, touched his butt, and looked around.
This one glance surprised Xiao Yan .
What appeared before his eyes was like a paradise under the sea of clouds. As far as the naked eye could see, huge buildings that looked like ancient Egyptian buildings were stacked one after another, with the huge green vine in the center as the center, spreading out in all directions. At the root of the green vine in the center was a huge building that looked like a pyramid. However, Xiao Yan 's mind was completely on the devil fruit, and he had no intention of appreciating it.
He rubbed his sore buttocks and looked around. Enel was still dizzy. "Hey, Enel, wake up!"
Xiao Yan shook Enelu's weak body. Through the exposed skin, Xiao Yan discovered that Enelu had many scars on his body.
It seems that Enelu suffered a lot of abuse on Sky Island, no wonder he wanted to destroy Sky Island later. I can only say that there is no love without reason in this world, and there is no cruelty without reason!
This strengthened Xiao Yan 's determination to take Enelu away from Sky Island, whether it was to repay Enelu for taking such sincere care of him whom he had just met for less than half a day, or for Xiao Yan himself to have such a powerful partner as Thunder God Enelu in the future.
Enelu woke up quickly, rubbed his eyes, spit out the sea water in his mouth, and saw Xiao Yan was still beside him, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
"Are you okay? Can you stand up?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.
Enel's face twitched a little, and it seemed that the fall just now still caused him some pain.
He struggled to stand up, patted his clothes, and said with a nonchalant look, "It's okay. The last time I fell, it hurt much more than this."
After hearing what Enel said, Xiao Yan was deeply moved. Even though he knew it would be very painful to fall, he still brought himself here without hesitation.
"Thank you."
Xiao Yan said gratefully, and then Enelu turned away with a proud look on his face. "What are you thanking me for, you bastard?"
"hey-hey."
Xiao Yan put his arm around Enelu's shoulders and spoke casually.
"No matter what, from today on, you are my brother, Xiao Yan . From now on, we will share the joys and sorrows. When you lead me to find the fruit, I will take you back to Qinghai. At that time, the two of us brothers will go to Qinghai, dominate the area, and enjoy freedom.
A comfortable life. "Cut"
In response to Xiao Yan 's words, Enelu made a disdainful sound, but his expression was obviously shocked.
It seems that Xiao Yan 's words "good brother" had a great impact on Enel's heart. The two of them rested for a while and then continued on their journey to find the devil fruit.
The two of them walked back and forth among the ancient ruins and headed towards the root of the vine. According to Enel, he said that the fruit was found at the root.
Xiao Yan was naturally extremely excited, and he wished he could take several steps at a time so that he could immediately fly to where the vines were. However, there were too many debris in the ancient ruins, making it impossible for the two of them to move fast.
"I came here last time to look for food, and accidentally fell into the hole I just saw. That's when I found this place." Enel explained to Xiao Yan as they walked.
"I found a lot of golden things there, with many words I didn't recognize on them. There was a big house there, and it was in that house that I found the fruit in your hand. I was going to pick the other one, but I heard a terrible hissing sound at that time. I was so scared that I ran away before I could pick the other one. Later, when I got out, I blocked the entrance to the cave with a stone."
"You are so smart."
Xiao Yan said this with praise, and at the same time he was feeling fortunate that Enel did not pick that devil fruit, otherwise, he would have no hope at all now.
"Hey, tell me about your Qinghai affairs. I heard from the people in Sky Island that your people in Qinghai are very powerful." Ever since Xiao Yan mentioned that Enelu might be from Qinghai, Enelu has been curious about the affairs of Qinghai, so he asked Xiao Yan .
"Qinghai, when we talk about Qinghai, we have to mention a place." "Place?"
Enelu stopped and asked in confusion.
Xiao Yan felt that now was the best time to arouse Enel's yearning for Qinghai, so he said.
"That place is called Raftel. It is a legendary dreamland in Qinghai. Legend has it that the island has everything. If you can reach it, you can become the Pirate King and have all the wealth, power, and fame in Qinghai.
It's a place everyone dreams of reaching." "That's amazing."
Sure enough, after hearing what Xiao Yan said, a hint of longing flashed in Enel's eyes.
Xiao Yan didn't know what era it was and whether Roger was still dead, so he could only give a general introduction.
"Yes, but until now, hundreds of years have passed, and still no pirate has been there. So, Enelu, come with me to Qinghai, and embark on the road of pursuing dreams and freedom with me, conquer this beautiful Qinghai below, and become the true Pirate King, the ruler of this beautiful world below." "Pirate King, ruler of the world?"
Enel's eyes were full of longing at this moment, a desire that any man would have for success and fame.
"Wait for you to lead me to find that fruit. Then, with the power of the fruit, the two of us brothers will have great power.
When the time comes, we will gather powerful partners and move towards the throne of the Lord of the World." Xiao Yan inadvertently revealed the matter about the devil fruit to Enelu.
Xiao Yan said, Enelu suddenly stopped and turned to Xiao Yan , with a puzzled look on his face. "Fruit, is this fruit special?"
Xiao Yan was also struggling with whether to tell Enel the truth about the Devil Fruit now. If he told Enel now, would Enel have evil thoughts and snatch the Devil Fruit away without him looking for another one. Although, this Devil Fruit originally belonged to Enel.
However, if he didn't say it, and waited until he found the Flame-Flame Fruit and told everything, would it create a grudge between the two of them? After all, Xiao Yan planned to bring Enelu to Qinghai to become his most powerful partner.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Yan finally made up his mind and said.
"Yes, if I am not mistaken, this fruit should be the secret treasure devil fruit of the sea that everyone in Qinghai longs to obtain."
