"System, introduce the Grudge-Grudge Fruit."
But no matter what, Luna had one excellent quality: she asked questions when she didn't understand. Thus, she immediately questioned the System.
"Host, the Grudge-Grudge Fruit is an exceptionally powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. Neither Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit nor Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, nor even the Psychokinesis-Psychokinesis Fruit you previously gave to Tatsumaki, can compare, because this is a power of ultimate darkness."
"Get to the point." Hearing this, Luna's interest was piqued, but why was there so much unnecessary talk? She immediately asked, slightly annoyed.
"First, anyone who eats this Devil Fruit can absorb the resentment, especially the unwillingness of many people before death, as long as such resentment exists on this sea. By absorbing this resentment, the user can not only enhance their overall strength and increase their attack power, but also achieve a state of immortality. Furthermore, if much of this resentment is directed at the same target, the upper limit of the enhancement will be even higher."
As the System finished speaking, Luna instantly understood. This was indeed a powerful Devil Fruit; it not only involved the power of world rules but truly seemed to have no upper limit.
"But System, absorbing so much resentment, won't there be side effects?" Luna, suddenly thinking of a crucial issue, immediately asked. After all, if she remembered correctly, some Devil Fruits had side effects, and the Grudge-Grudge Fruit certainly sounded like it might.
"Resentment is a type of hatred. As long as revenge is exacted for it, this resentment will transform into true energy and power, injecting itself into the user's body. Furthermore, the user's attacks will also consume this absorbed resentment. This is a Devil Fruit without any unnecessary side effects, so please rest assured, Host. Besides, please trust that anything produced by the System is guaranteed to be a premium product."
"Alright, I believe you." Because her System had always been reliable, unlike those of some transmigrators whose systems were merely conniving merchants or jokers, Luna trusted it unconditionally after the explanation.
However, this powerful fruit clearly needed to be consumed by someone who frequently engaged in slaughter.
And within the entire crew, who could be more suitable than Kuina? After all, she had already obtained the inheritance of the Shadow Assassin.
Moreover, when it came to the sheer amount of killing within the crew, even Luna herself could not compare to Kuina, the Pink Hat Pirates' number one Killing God.
After all, the profession of a Swordsman is inherently born from blood-soaked slaughter, especially for those who roam the vast sea.
Furthermore, if she was confident that Kuina could perfectly handle this powerful force, one must not forget that the Demon Blade Thousand Blades originally harbored a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit.
From the moment it recognized Kuina, she became its sole master.
Protecting its master was its undeniable duty, let alone dealing with mere resentment. For a vengeful spirit, this was simply effortless.
Just like that, the rewards for this time concluded.
One was kept, two were about to be used, and three more would be put to use in the coming days.
After making this decision, Luna pondered briefly, ready to take a short rest.
"Hmm?" But just then, she suddenly sensed two auras, both strange and familiar, gradually approaching.
Strange, naturally, because this was the first time she had encountered them; and familiar, naturally, because she had already learned about them with the help of the System.
"Counting the time, they should be arriving now."
Luna said with a smile, then quickly walked out of the wooden house and onto the golden beach, constantly battered and cleansed by the waves.
She looked out and soon saw a pink gemstone ship, shining with dazzling light, carrying a cute little loli and a cool, glamorous older woman sailing toward her.
"This... is truly Diancie, the luxury of a Diamond Princess, actually using diamonds to build a ship!" Witnessing this scene, even Luna was too surprised to close her mouth, and her expression ultimately became slightly exasperated.
At the same time, her interest burned fiercely like a lit bonfire. She genuinely couldn't resist wanting to try riding a ship made of gems—what kind of wonderful experience would that be? Hehe.
As if a brilliant idea had flashed in her mind, Luna involuntarily let out a silly chuckle. Her appearance was mesmerizing, cute, and beautiful, like a delicate, blooming flower ready to drop dew.
However, she quickly regained a confident smile, as Diancie and Umeumi Keiko were about to arrive.
At this moment, the pink gemstone ship still on the sea surface shone with captivating brilliance, like a dazzling pearl. Seeing the large island ahead and Luna standing on the beach ready to greet them, Diancie immediately bounced happily like a little rabbit and exclaimed, "Lady Haikuiko, look! We're almost there, and I already see Master Luna."
"Alright, we'll be over soon. And Miss Diancie, please stop jumping, or you might fall." After paddling strenuously for at least half a night and half a day, Umeumi Keiko, who had been hacking out Sword Qi all day like a veteran warrior, now showed signs of fatigue on her face, even developing dark circles and faint wrinkles that marred her beauty and elegance.
But at this moment, as she finally reached their destination, joy instantly flooded her heart like a burst dam. She couldn't help but smile; they had finally arrived, and all her efforts had not been in vain.
Immediately, a burst of strength, seemingly emerging from nowhere, allowed her to unleash a powerful Sword Qi. That formidable Sword Qi, like a roaring dragon, generated an impact and thrust that instantly made the large pink gemstone ship leap out of the water like an arrow shot from a bow. The sparkling, beautiful splashes of water, like strings of crystal-clear pearls, glittered charmingly under the sunlight, making the already airborne ship seem like a beautiful, intoxicating painting.
Finally, with a loud bang, the large pink gemstone ship dropped directly onto the beach, kicking up a large amount of dust and causing a small earthquake on the sand.
However, this incident harmed one person: Perona. After all, everyone else was currently cultivating inside the Time-Space Cultivation Room, unaffected, and the Time-Space Cultivation Room was now hidden in a special place—a location no ordinary person could ever imagine.
Perona, who had just finished tidying her room and noticed her makeup had been ruined by sweat during the process of arranging and decorating, was originally sitting in front of her dressing table, touching up her makeup in the mirror.
But it was precisely because of that impact...
