Chapter 228: Celestial Dragon Recycling Plan
...
"Eat it. You don't have to take such big bites. Just take small bites. The effect will be the same. This thing tastes a bit bad."
Seeing that Stella and Tesoro didn't know how to eat the devil fruit, Ajin shared his valuable experience.
He was not so lucky at the beginning. When Akin and Senior ate the devil fruit, they were deceived by Captain Gul, who told them to take a big bite and eat more for it to be effective.
In the end, the two of them suppressed their nausea and retched and swallowed the devil fruit.
Ger gave Tesoro a few gold rings so that he could practice his control over gold when he had nothing to do.
After eating the Childlike Fruit, Stella became familiar with the ability that suddenly appeared in her mind, and successfully turned the whimpering Charmaco into a pig-head toy.
The clothes still retained some characteristics of the Celestial Dragons' clothing. The hair on the top of the head was still standing up high with a curl at the top, which looked a bit like a classic jade ruyi hairstyle. Apart from that, there was no trace of the world's aristocracy.
After becoming a toy, his body became much smaller, and the ropes that bound Saint Chalmak automatically fell off. He pulled the stinky socks out of his mouth and yelled at the onlookers:
"Guards! Guards! Where are the damn guards? Hurry up and get them here! I am a Celestial Dragon! How dare you, a bunch of lowly people, look down upon me like this! It really makes me angry!"
"Wow, it really turned into a toy! How magical!"
"Just now I couldn't remember who this pig-head came from. If I hadn't watched the whole process and Stella reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered that this was the Celestial Dragon we captured. The devil fruit is really magical!"
No one paid any attention to Saint Chalmar. Gel and the others just commented on the pig-headed puppet in front of them and marveled at it.
"Ahhh! Damn untouchables, what on earth did you do to me! When I return I will arrest all of you! You will suffer a fate worse than death!"
Saint Chalmaco looked at his hands and then checked his body. He found in disbelief that he had turned into a doll, his eyes full of fear.
"Try to sign a contract. Uh, remember to add a clause telling him to shut up and not speak without orders."
Ger said, stroking his chin.
"Okay, Captain."
It was her first time and Stella was not very skilled, so she tried several times before she succeeded.
Looking at the toy pig-headed man standing at attention with his mouth shut, everyone once again marveled at the incredible power of the Fruit of Childhood Fun.
Suddenly, Gel had an idea and walked forward and put his hand on the toy.
"Bang~"
After a puff of white smoke, the pig head toy also disappeared from the spot.
As expected, after becoming a toy, I can avoid the system's judgment and put it away in space.
After taking a look, he found that after entering the system, the toy entered the standby mode as if the pause button was pressed. Gel was thinking, if a partner was seriously injured and in critical condition but could not get immediate treatment, could he use this method to "freeze" the person first?
In addition, the pirates captured in the future can be frozen first, and when manpower is needed to develop the territory in the future, this free labor can be "thawed" and released to mine!
They arrange their time wisely and never waste their limited lives. They are truly black-hearted capitalists. Perfect!
"Hahaha, thanks to you Stella, the Celestial Dragon Recycling Plan was successfully completed! It should be foolproof now."
Ger laughed.
"No, Captain, we are the ones who should be thanking you."
Stella smiled. She had been worried that she would not do well and ruin Captain Gill's plan. Now that things had been settled, she could finally stop being so nervous. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said happily.
At the side, Tezulo finally put down the heavy burden on his heart. He let out a long sigh and said with emotion:
“It’s great to be able to solve this big problem smoothly!”
"Okay, now you can all go back to your rooms and sleep peacefully. We'll go back tomorrow after we finish buying things at the auction."
Geer clapped his hands and made his final remarks.
"Yes! Captain!"
After responding in unison, several people went to wash up and go to bed.
...
As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars and a crescent moon hangs high in the sky like a bent bow. The faint chirping of insects not only does not destroy the silent atmosphere, but adds a different kind of quiet beauty to the night. This is a quiet moment suitable for relaxation and contemplation.
But for Captain Gul, no matter how beautiful the night is, it is only suitable for sleeping.
"Snoring, snore~"
There were thunderous snoring sounds in the room. Weibull was sleeping soundly on the ground, blowing bubbles from his nose. Geer was lying on the bed with drooling, not affected by the snoring at all. He could reach this level thanks to the four years of hard work and cultivation of his roommate when he was studying.
...
"Can't sleep, Stella?"
Looking at his lover sitting quietly in front of the bed, Tezoro also sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked.
"Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I got anxious as soon as I closed my eyes. I was afraid that when I woke up, I would find myself in that cold and dark cage again."
Stella curled up and hugged her legs tightly.
"Go on sleeping, Tezulo. Don't worry about me. Let me watch you like this for a while longer."
Tezulo felt distressed. He reached out his hand, gently hugged the other person in his arms, and comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, Stella. I will always be by your side from now on. Even if this is just a dream and you wake up and go back to the past, don't be afraid, because no matter how many times it happens, I will save you!"
"Well, thank you, Tezulo!"
Feeling the warmth brought by the embrace, Stella relaxed a lot, and fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
...
The morning sunlight sprinkled on the ground, and the Yarqiman mangroves began a new day of photosynthesis. Countless bubbles began to emerge from the ground on the island, floating up to the sky. The light was refracted on the surface of the bubbles, turning the originally transparent bubbles into colorful, dazzling and very beautiful.
...
"I've told you young people to be more moderate and not to toss around too late, but you just won't listen. Do you want some raw eggs or wolfberry water?"
Seeing the young couple walking down the stairs, one had dark circles under his eyes and the other was rubbing his neck as if he had a stiff neck, Geer joked while drinking hot tea.
"Ah! It's not what you think, Captain! We are just so happy that we can't sleep."
Tezoro hurriedly explained that they really didn't do anything, they just fell asleep in each other's arms and that's why they felt sore all over when they woke up. Stella didn't say anything but her face was already blushing.
"I didn't think about anything, why are you so flustered?"
Gel said roguely.
"Okay, there's food in the kitchen, go eat it quickly, we'll be leaving for the auction soon."
"Okay Captain."
The two of them responded and fled towards the kitchen.
