Chapter 302: The Ownership of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit

"Hmm? A powerful expert?"

Mu Chong's words caused a glint of light to flash in Didak's eyes. He was once the son of a general, and he knew a little about the strongmen Mu Chong spoke of. His own experiences of being repeatedly beaten by soldiers had instilled in Didak the desire to become a strongman himself.

"Hehehe! Didak! The strongmen I'm talking about aren't those from the Kingdom of Sodler, but those who can stir up waves on this sea! In the future, you'll be facing monsters you won't be able to face!"

Mu Chong observed Didak's changing expression and guessed somewhat what Didak was thinking. Mu Chong smiled slightly and said...

"Captain! I'm not afraid! No matter what the battle, I, Didak, will always be the one charging at the forefront!"

Mu Chong's words made Didak's expression turn serious, and his fleshy face trembled with excitement.

"Hahahaha! Didac! I love your fearless and crazy spirit!"

Looking at the excited fat man in front of him, Mu Chong felt extremely satisfied. This guy was smart, had a fighting spirit, and was such a reassuring fat man.

"However, if you're going to be arrogant, you need to have the capital to be arrogant. Look! This box contains the things that will give you the capital to be crazy! It can give you the basics to face monsters in a short time, but whether you can make it work as intended still requires your hard training!"

After laughing, Mu Chong's expression suddenly turned serious. Pointing to the box in his hand, he solemnly addressed Didac slowly.

"Yes! I will! Captain!"

Didac nodded solemnly, then took the box from Mu Chong and opened it with both hands. Inside was a fruit that resembled an apple, but with a purple peel featuring spiral patterns, and a stem resembling a bomb fuse.

"Captain... Captain! This is... a Devil Fruit?!"

The moment Didac opened the box and saw what was inside, his pupils dilated noticeably, and a look of shock instantly filled his face as he stared incredulously back and forth between the box and the wooden spout.

"Oh? You know about Devil Fruits? Ha! Well, you were once the son of an official, so it's understandable that you've heard of Devil Fruits!"

Didak's reaction surprised Mu Chong slightly, but upon reflection, it made sense. As the son of a former general of the Kingdom of Soderle, it was normal for him to know some information.

"Yes, Captain! I've heard about Devil Fruits from my father and seen pictures of them, but this is the first time I've actually seen a real Devil Fruit! Captain! This..."

Didac's eyes were fixed on the Devil Fruit in his hand, but as his voice rang out, his gaze slowly returned to calm, and he then handed the Devil Fruit to Mu Chong.

However, before Didak could finish speaking, Mu Chong interrupted him.

“Eat it! Didak! The future wars facing the Freedom will need your strength! Of course, if you don’t want to, I can…”

Click!

With a crisp sound, Mu Chong's voice abruptly stopped, followed by Didak's incoherent words and the sound of vomiting.

"Captain... ugh... I'm willing... ugh... it tastes awful... ugh..."

Didac's expression at this moment was truly fascinating. On one hand, he wanted to give Mu Chong a serious answer, but on the other hand, the extreme stimulation of the taste made him suffer unbearably.

"hiss!"

Didak's current state sent a chill down the spines of Belinda and the other children standing nearby. Belinda knew what the substance tasted like, while the other children were genuinely worried about Didak's condition.

"Hahahaha! Didac! Eat it all! Don't leave any behind!"

Meanwhile, Mu Chong, standing in front of Didak, watched Didak with a smile on his face, reminding him to finish it all.

"Waaaaah..."

Didak paused upon hearing this, then closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and stuffed the remaining Devil Fruit into his mouth. He then frowned, chewed, and swallowed it.

"Wow! Impressive! Didac!!"

Seeing Didac's expression, Belinda couldn't help but praise him. Having eaten a Devil Fruit herself, she knew all too well how awful it tasted.

"Brother Didac..."

Several teenagers, seeing Didak finish eating the Devil Fruit, rushed forward and grabbed his arms, their faces full of concern and eagerness.

"Phew! I'm fine... Ugh!"

Didac was about to comfort the worried child, but as soon as he opened his mouth, an indescribable smell made him nauseous.

"Hey! Deidak! Quickly feel the changes in your body, let me see what kind of power this Devil Fruit that the captain has been keeping hidden away has?"

Having learned the situation, Belinda disregarded Didak's feelings and approached him like a curious child, asking questions.

"Hmm? Ability?"

Didak's eyes flashed with confusion upon hearing Belinda's question, but then, as if guided by instinct, he closed his eyes and slowly sensed...

Just then, Mu Chong, who had been secretly amused by the situation, suddenly turned serious. A glint flashed in his eyes, and the next second, Mu Chong charged straight at Didak, cursing loudly.

"Holy crap! Do you think you can just mess with the power of this Devil Fruit? Are you trying to blow up the Liberty?"

Swish!

Before Mu Chong could finish speaking urgently, he and Didak had vanished from the entire cabin lounge.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Freedom, everyone was training intensely, while a few people were chatting and drinking beverages during breaks.

"Ok?"

But the next second, Enel and Slade's expressions froze simultaneously. Then, they abruptly stood up from the deck of the Liberty, their eyes fixed on the distant sky above the sea.

Elsa, who was carrying a drink and about to deliver it to someone else, was the next to notice something was wrong.

"captain……"

boom!

Rumble!

As soon as Aisha finished speaking, a massive explosion occurred on the distant sea. The terrifying sound instantly swept across the surrounding area, and the next second, a terrifying blast wave from the explosion swept across the sea, heading towards the Liberty.

Splash!

The massive explosion and the ensuing shockwave instantly turned the once calm sea into a turbulent sea, with waves spreading outwards from the point of explosion.

At that moment, everyone on the deck of the Freedom stopped what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the explosion on the sea. Confusion flashed in their eyes, but there was little emotional change; it was as if it were just another explosion. This was the confidence that came with strength.

"Hey! Dick! Go stabilize the ship! Everyone else, hold on tight!"

Just then, Slad suddenly shouted loudly, and as soon as his voice fell, a blast of air swept past.

call!

The powerful gust of wind caused the Liberty to tilt slightly, and that wasn't all; surging waves then pushed the Liberty sideways.

Fortunately, Dick intervened in time and managed to stabilize the Liberty, preventing it from being tossed about by the turbulent waves and churning water.

"Phew! What's wrong?"

"An explosion? Why did an explosion happen over there?"

As everything gradually calmed down, the people on the deck of the Freedom began to talk, a group of underlings filled with questions.

"Hey! Slard! Is this the captain?"

Baku gazed at the vast plume of smoke slowly dissipating from the explosion on the distant sea, and asked Slad with some uncertainty, "..."

"Yes……"
