Chapter 199 Search, Thunder Fruit
What made Pameron most uncomfortable was that he had no money to treat so many people to a meal, and he had to borrow the money from Lu Kai.
However, building a warship was a great achievement. After Lu Kai knew about it, he naturally chose to reimburse Pameron and also gave him a large sum of money as a subsidy.
Although no one can avoid training, the dormitories, cafeterias and other living areas of this warship are better built than those of the G1 base.
Although there is no luxury at all, the main focus is on comfort. Anyway, the conditions are there, so there is no need to be harsh on the soldiers in this regard.
Although Lu Kai has high requirements in training, combat, and ideology, other than that, Lu Kai is very good to his subordinates.
On the warship, in order to better cultivate team awareness, the "Iron Army" lives in one dormitory per team, but the dormitory is very spacious and is equipped with a separate bathroom and toilet.
Not to mention the food. Ever since Alan took over the cafeteria, the food has been getting better and better. Every meal is delicious and nutritious. It tastes good and can improve physical fitness. There is no one who doesn't love it.
After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
Just like the special forces in previous lives, their training is harder than anyone else's, and their battles are more dangerous than anyone else's, but their treatment in all aspects is impeccable. Just taking the food standards as an example, the standards of the special forces in the entire army are second only to those of military dogs.
This is the case with Lu Kai's 'Iron Army'.
……
At four o'clock in the morning, on Sky Island, Angel Island, and Angel Beach, which was originally deserted, a figure suddenly appeared.
Because it appeared so suddenly, it seemed as if the figure had always been there, but had not been noticed before.
After the figure appeared, he closed his eyes and sensed everything around him. After shaking his head, the figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in Arpaiado.
However, the figure did not stay here for long and disappeared again. In this way, the figure kept disappearing and appeared in other places, as if looking for something.
Finally, the figure came to a small sky island called Bika, but this place still disappointed the figure. This figure was Lu Kai, and this was not his first time to come to the sky island.
Since gaining the right to go out to sea freely two years ago, Lu Kai would take ten to twenty minutes every few days after training to stroll around every corner of Sky Island.
The purpose is to find the strongest natural devil fruit in Lukai's mind - the Thunder Fruit.
For this devil fruit, Luke even found the 16-year-old Eneel a year ago, but to Luke's regret, Eneel did not eat the Thunder Fruit at that time.
Every time Lukai came to Sky Island, he would take a stroll around Bica, Enel's hometown, but after two whole years he still gained nothing.
Devil Fruits do not grow on Sky Island. On the contrary, Devil Fruits are a special kind of fruit that grows on the seabed. However, some people on Sky Island still have the opportunity to eat Devil Fruits.
Because in some special sea areas, strong currents will be generated on the seabed, and the strong currents will bring things from the seabed to the sky island.
It was for this reason that Eneel later obtained the Thunder Fruit by chance and gained power comparable to that of a god.
Before destroying his hometown of Pica, Enel had never left here, so Luke believed that the most likely place for the Thunder Fruit to appear was Pica.
Although Lu Kai also wanted to look for the Thunder Fruit in other places, the world was too big and he had no idea where to start. The most likely places were Sky Island and the sea area under Bica.
However, as to when the Thunder Fruit was washed up to Sky Island and where exactly it was washed up to, Lu Kai had no idea, but the Thunder Fruit was too attractive to Lu Kai.
The reason why he came to Sky Island every few days was because Lu Kai didn't want to miss even a one in ten thousand chance. Unfortunately, today was another disappointing day.
After sighing, Lu Kai jumped directly from the empty shore of Bika.
Although it is ten thousand meters in the air, it doesn't take long to fall to the sea surface.
Soon, Lu Kai passed through the White Sea and came to the sky below the Sky Island, and approached the sea below Bika at an extremely fast speed.
However, even when he was close to the sea surface, Lu Kai did not slow down, but dived into the sea.
Lu Kai was not depressed or had any problem, but he just wanted to search the seabed.
However, Lu Kai was not soaked by the sea water, but he had already created an invincible space within a radius of one mile in advance.
The invincible space is almost invisible to the naked eye, but it is real.
The moment the invincible space touches the sea water, the sea water will be immediately transferred out of the space, allowing the invincible space to always remain an air-rich sphere.
The buoyancy of the air ball in the sea is very strong, but Lu Kai was rapidly descending towards the seabed.
Because the seawater that touches the bottom of the air ball will be immediately transferred to the top of the ball before it can generate an upward force on the ball, it only takes a few minutes for Lu Kai to reach the bottom of the sea 10,000 meters deep.
Lu Kai then expanded the invincible space to its maximum diameter of twenty miles and began a carpet search in spiral circles in the surrounding sea areas.
Lu Kai was very fast during the whole process, but after more than ten minutes, he still got nothing.
Just when Lu Kai felt disappointed again and was about to leave the seabed, suddenly a special breath attracted him.
Lu Kai suddenly became extremely excited and his breathing became a little difficult, because he sensed a special golden devil fruit that looked a bit like a large fire ginseng fruit with spiral patterns.
Lu Kai moved through space and came to the side of the devil fruit. He stretched out his hand with some trembling. The moment he touched the devil fruit, Lu Kai finally felt relieved.
Because it was not until this moment that Lu Kai knew that all this was true, and the devil fruit in Lu Kai's hand was the legendary Thunder Fruit.
Two years, a full two years. Lu Kai ran hundreds of times in these two years, went to the sky and the sea hundreds of times, and even the area where the Thunder Fruit appeared was searched by Lu Kai hundreds of times. However, every time he came with high hopes, he returned disappointed.
Finally, his hard work paid off and he didn’t expect that he would actually find it this time.
Moreover, Luke has more than one natural-type devil fruit in his hand. Counting the Flame-Flame Fruit that he accidentally found two years ago, Luke already has two natural-type devil fruits in his hand.
Of course, Luke is now unable to eat a third devil fruit, so Luke did not get the Thunder Fruit for himself.
Lu Kai hadn't even decided who to give the devil fruit to, but this didn't affect his desire for the Thunder Fruit and his frantic search for it over the past two years.
In Lu Kai's eyes, apart from the Space Fruit he had already eaten, the strongest devil fruit in his mind was the Thunder Fruit, because it was a perfect devil fruit.
Any devil fruit has its shortcomings, but Luke believes that the Thunder Fruit is an exception. Apart from the insignificant defect of becoming a landlubber, Luke really doesn't know what other shortcomings the Thunder Fruit has.
