Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Eat it, Maria."

Not long after, somewhere on Onigashima, a pineapple-shaped crimson fruit appeared in the hand of Yakumo Shiro without him noticing. There were at least 6 stems and leaves on the top of the fruit, the ends of which were rounded triangles, and strange spiral patterns were distributed on the scaly parts.

That’s right, the name of this fruit is the Snake-Snake Fruit·Mythical Beast·Yamata-no-Orochi Form!

"this......"

After witnessing Yakumo Bai's miraculous operation a moment ago, Maria couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, looking at Yakumo Bai with surprise.

Although she did not directly participate in the fight against Kurozumi Orochi in the Flower Capital, as one of the most trusted people of Yakumo Shiro, Maria naturally knew that Kurozumi Orochi was not dead, but was imprisoned here...

However, she never expected that Yakumo Shiro kept this guy until now just to seize his devil fruit? !

Moreover, it was done through such mysterious means...

"Master, is this what you got from this trip? Being able to take away the power of other people's devil fruits... it's really a foul method..."

Maria couldn't help but sigh. If she thought about it a little, she would understand that by mastering such ability, she would gradually accumulate great advantages in this ocean!

There is no doubt that Yakumo Shira is holding a strategic weapon that can shake the sea!

It is true that such ability will cause fear and covetousness in others, but it will also become a Pandora's box that bewitches people. Countless people will flock to it and go through fire and water for the young master, just to obtain the powerful devil fruit ability!

"Master...what kind of storm will you stir up in this sea? And what height will you stand at..."

Maria murmured to herself in her heart, her whole body and mind were shaken by the young man in front of her.

Just ask, who can resist such a big fox that has both beauty and strength?

The answer is, no one! At least Maria thinks she is completely addicted to it.

Without any hesitation, Maria naturally took the Yamata no Orochi fruit, peeled off the skin gracefully, and took a light bite.

There is no need to be pretentious. Given the relationship between the two, doing so would only make things seem awkward. Even though this is a mythical beast species, since the other party has given it to me, what I have to do is to try my best to maximize its value!

Only in this way can we live up to this trust!

"Hmm..."

The taste of the devil fruit made Maria frown, but soon her brows relaxed because of the devil fruit ability she gained.

The purple mist gradually spread and soon completely obscured the surrounding vision.

What surprised Yakumo Bai was that this purple mist seemed to have some strange abilities. With his own observation Haki, he could only barely capture the vague aura that was gradually growing stronger in it. If the other party really wanted to take action, it would probably be like a poisonous snake, secretive and dangerous.

The hazy purple mist slowly flowed around, causing ripples of moderate size from time to time, as if something was waiting in the air to make a move.

Upon seeing this, Yakumo Shiro immediately understood that Maria was eager to experiment with her new abilities!

"Haha~ What a playful guy~"

Thinking so in his mind, Yakumo Bai didn't think he was ruining the other party's interest. It just so happened that he also wanted to see what tricks Maria could come up with.

"Shh-"

A rustling sound was heard from time to time, and gradually became clearer. Yakumo Bai could already feel the cool and smooth touch passing by him. It must be the snake's scales, so what else could it be?

"Wow--"

Just when Yakumo Bai was getting a little impatient, Maria, who was hiding in the purple mist, finally made a move. The surrounding purple mist began to roll violently in a certain direction, and vaguely, it seemed that one could catch a glimpse of a snake covered with white and translucent scales winding and surging.

The sound of clothes rubbing was heard, and under Yakumo Bai's silent gaze, a huge snake tail suddenly wrapped around his waist and slowly lifted him off the ground. At the same time, the fog around him also thinned a little.

As if sensing something, Yakumo Bai looked up and saw Maria, who had transformed into a human-beast form, looking at him with her head lowered.

I guess the appearance of the ability user is also related to the appearance after using the ability. Compared with the hideous and ugly appearance of Kurozumi Orochi, Maria in front of him can almost be said to be pretty. I am afraid that even in the snake world, she is also the most beautiful white snake.

That's right, after using the ability, Maria's incarnation of the Yamata no Orochi turned completely white, and the dense scales all over the body emitted a soft light like white jade.

The curve of its head has an indescribable beauty, and the red horns give it a sense of majesty and dominance. Seven purple phantoms surround it, and seven pairs of eyes flashing with cold light are looming. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are purple ribbons, which serve as a foil for this beautiful beast.

In the eyes of the Yamata no Orochi, the original whites were replaced by pitch-black pupils, and in the middle was a faintly charming purple vertical pupil. Even if you just look at it for a few times, it is enough to captivate people.

To be honest, Yakumo Shiro was very satisfied with Maria at this moment. Even from a human perspective, her posture was very pleasing to the eye.

However, what made Yakumo Bai feel a little amused and helpless was that he seemed to have an inexplicable fate with snakes?

This situation of being entangled in circles seems to have just happened not long ago?

"Um, Maria..."

Just when Yakumo Bai was about to say something, Maria in front of him suddenly lowered her body again, and in an instant she returned to her original appearance. Her long golden hair bun was as elegant and charming as ever, her watery eyes revealed a myriad of styles, her fiery red lips slightly parted, and a scarlet snake tongue gently spit out, and gradually covered her cheek in Yakumo Bai's shocked eyes...

"Master...what do you think? Do you like me like this?"

Maria held Yakumo Shiro tightly in her arms, with her long snake tail coiled in circles. There was a hint of heat in her eyes, as if a giant snake was about to swallow its prey, showing strong aggression and possessiveness.

My young master gave me such a great gift, how could I not thank him? It's a pity that I have nothing, and it takes time to improve my strength. If I want to repay this trust and affection, I can only show my sincerity first, right?

"Um... Maria, I think this may not be the right occasion..."

The softness and the pounding heart in front of him made Yakumo Shiro have a premonition of what was going to happen, but considering the current situation, Yakumo Shiro couldn't help but remind him.

"Hmm...Is that so?"

In response, Maria tilted her head and said,

"But this place seems very secluded, right? Didn't you bring me here, young master?"

"!!"

Hearing this, Yakumo Bai immediately thought to himself that something was not good. He didn't expect that just considering Maria's size, he specially chose a remote place to experiment with the devil fruit ability, but in the end he dug a hole for himself!

What should I do? Am I going to experience a brand new battlefield today?

Seeing that Yakumo Bai seemed to be in distress, Maria's eyes flashed, and a deep purple mist rose up, completely covering the figures of the two.

"Alright, Master, it's not gentlemanly to keep me waiting for too long. Just consider it as my advance payment. Come on, I will fully demonstrate the power of this devil fruit to you."

"!!??"
