Juice Sea

Leaving aside Zephyr, who was venting his anger at thin air, Yota and his group traveled aboard Zephyr’s warship. Calculating the days, they arrived in the waters around Cake Island about one day before Big Mom’s birthday.

By this point, even the seawater had changed, turning into vividly colored fruit juice.

Both Ulti and Violet were surprised and delighted by the sight of this sea. When they heard that Cake Island itself was entirely made of desserts, they became even more eager to see it.

However, unlike the two women, who liked sweets and fairy-tale aesthetics, Yota had more on his mind when he saw this sea.

By Yota’s estimation, this had to be the Devil Fruit ability of Streusen, the head chef. Otherwise, even if Charlotte Linlin’s Totto Land was the wealthiest territory among the Four Emperors, they could never afford to waste this much fruit juice.

Streusen’s Devil Fruit ability had likely awakened long ago. Otherwise, even if he could create such a vast sea of juice for a time, it would disperse in less than a day as time passed.

Only a Devil Fruit developed to the point of awakening could accomplish something like this.

Come to think of it, although combining the Munch-Munch Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit greatly increased their power, developing them to the point of awakening became more than ten times as difficult. After all, awakening them now would be equivalent to developing two Devil Fruits to awakening at once.

Otherwise, setting aside the Dark-Dark Fruit, the Munch-Munch Fruit should have awakened long ago. I’ve analyzed and combined materials from both the Naruto World and this world, and I’ve nearly finished analyzing the body structures of many top experts from both worlds.

As he pondered this, Yota casually used Universal Pull to draw up a huge mass of fruit juice from the sea.

Ulti and Violet both wore curious, expectant expressions. Even Page One and Kyros, the two grown men, were rather interested in the juice.

Yota produced five cups, filled one for each of them, and then took a gulp.

Smacking her lips, Ulti complained, "It tastes pretty ordinary. It’s about the same as regular fruit juice."

Yota rolled his eyes. "This isn’t some carefully crafted juice. It’s just ordinary fruit juice created through a Devil Fruit awakening, so of course it won’t taste exceptionally delicious."

After all, Streusen possessed the Cook-Cook Fruit, not some Cooking Fruit or Delicious Fruit.

"Wait, what’s that?" Violet was initially somewhat disappointed, but then her gaze sharpened as she spoke in surprise.

Yota knew that Violet’s Devil Fruit ability allowed her to see extremely far. He looked in the same direction but saw nothing, so he asked, "Violet, what did you see?"

"Um, a… moving… singing ship?" Violet said uncertainly, sounding surprised.

"Oh?" Yota was not surprised by this. "That should be a ship from the Big Mom Pirates. Those ships are Homies that Big Mom animated with the Soul-Soul Fruit."

"Point out the direction for me… Forget it, I’ll take you there." The moment Yota finished speaking, he leaped into the air. Accompanied by a long dragon roar, he transformed into a giant dragon, grabbed Violet in one claw, and flew in the direction she indicated.

Even though Violet was no ordinary girl, Yota’s transformation still startled her badly. Fortunately, when Yota asked her for the direction, she quickly snapped back to her senses.

A moment later, Yota spotted a fairly large fleet in the distance. The people aboard fell into chaos upon seeing him, and he could vaguely hear shouts of "Kaido" and the like.

"After all this time, these people still don’t know that the Azure Dragon Fruit is in my hands?" Yota muttered.

In truth, Yota’s ability to directly extract Devil Fruits from people’s bodies was simply too unbelievable. Even when information occasionally leaked out, many people dismissed it as a rumor.

The giant dragon descended abruptly. The people on the ship watched him warily, only for Yota to control every one of them with the Rinnegan in his eyes.

Yota then used genjutsu to manipulate all the Homies as well. These Homies were merely fragments of souls, making them even easier to control than ordinary people.

After questioning the controlled people, Yota learned that this ship belonged to the Minister of Fruit of Totto Land, Charlotte Linlin’s eldest daughter, Charlotte Compote.

Yota took a look at Charlotte Compote, but unfortunately, he had no impression of her whatsoever. In fact, he only knew a few figures from the Big Mom Pirates, such as the Sweet Four Generals.

Although Yota knew little about her, the eldest daughter of the Charlotte Family held a very high position, not much lower than that of the Sweet Four Generals. She alone governed Totto Land’s Fruit Island, and this time, she had brought a large quantity of high-quality fruit to Cake Island.

However, while Charlotte Compote was not weak, she was nothing special. Without any Conqueror’s Haki, she was naturally controlled by Yota with ease.

Thinking that if he attacked Cake Island directly, some scruffy bird might escape, Yota simply decided to infiltrate Charlotte Compote’s group.

There were only five people on the entire ship anyway. Yota controlled them to alter their course, then picked up Ulti, Page One, and Kyros.

To prevent their cover from being blown, Yota used the Transformation Technique on himself and altered the appearances of his subordinates as well.

Ninjutsu in the Naruto World advanced with each passing day. A Transformation Technique that could transform other people was hardly difficult; Jiraiya even had a secret technique that could turn people into frogs.

Afterward, they stayed aboard Charlotte Compote’s ship. To be honest, Charlotte Compote truly deserved to be Big Mom’s daughter. The entire ship was filled with all kinds of desserts and snacks, and Ulti and Violet ate until their eyes shone.

It was not very friendly to Yota, a member of the Savory Party. Although the desserts tasted good, Yota could not treat them as meals. He even tried to catch some sea beasts, only to discover that every sea beast in this Juice Sea was sweet!

Fortunately, they were already close to Charlotte Linlin’s Cake Island. After just a day of sailing, they arrived at Cake Island, which resembled a fairy-tale kingdom.

"So this is Cake Island? It’s really unforgettable. This is way too interesting!" Ulti could not help scraping a layer of cream from a nearby building and licking it.

"Yeah, everything here is actually alive." Violet could not help saying the same as she watched the singing Homies.
