Although Makoto knew that finding the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in Skypiea with insufficient information would be difficult, he didn't expect that they would end up staying there for over a year.
Finally, Makoto and his group found a treasure chest in the wreckage of a ship that had drifted to a cloud island called [Birka].
Inside the chest was a Devil Fruit with patterns like lightning bolts—
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
At this moment, Makoto also remembered that Enel's birthplace was called Birka.
As originally planned, Makoto had Chika eat it.
Chika endured the disgusting taste and swallowed it with a 'gulp'.
Boom—!!!
Instantly, a pillar of lightning shot up from the cloud island of Birka, illuminating the entire sky.
Blue-white electric light enveloped the entire cloud layer, like thunder dragons tumbling through the clouds, deafening, causing the world to change color.
The surrounding sea of clouds churned and surged from the lightning, white cloud waves spreading outward like a tsunami.
When the commotion subsided, everyone looked at Chika, whose body was surging with lightning and had entered an elementalized state, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"This is... the power of the most offensively powerful Logia?"
Even her best friend Kaguya was awed by this power.
Chika's body had completely transformed into a lightning form. Blue-white electric light flowed across her surface, crackling.
Her hair floated in the electrical discharge, her eyes glowing white. She looked like the thunder god descending.
"Amazing..."
Chika looked down at her hands. Electric arcs danced in her palms.
She waved her hand lightly, and a bolt of lightning shot from her fingertips, shattering a distant rock to pieces.
"Hahaha! So fun!"
Obtaining this great power, Chika was naturally overjoyed.
She couldn't help but throw herself into Makoto's arms, wrap her arms around his neck, and plant a firm kiss on his cheek.
"Makoto-kun! Thank you!"
Makoto smiled and patted her back.
"As long as you like it."
Chika nodded vigorously.
Although she had some minor dissatisfaction with the fact that her lover had many partners…
But so what?
When he has something good, he actually gives it.
It's not like those brainless harem stories where the male lead adds a new wife and gives her nothing except an extra pair of chopsticks at the table.
Damn, what are you here for then?
Immediately, Chika issued a request to Saeko: "Saeko-senpai, can we have a spar?"
If one had to find an opponent for the current Rumble-Rumble Chika, Saeko was undoubtedly the most suitable.
After all, they were both newer players, and Saeko was the undisputed strongest among them, so she was naturally the best opponent.
Saeko smiled slightly and agreed to Chika's request.
The two found an open space on Birka.
Saeko drew the Shodai Kitetsu. The blade glinted coldly in the sunlight.
She gripped the sword with both hands and assumed a starting stance.
"Here I come."
"Okay!"
Chika gripped her kanabo tightly. Blue-white electric light wrapped around the club, crackling.
Saeko struck first.
"Wave Slash!"
She swung her sword, unleashing a violent golden sword wave.
The sword wave was like a golden dragon, charging at Chika with the force to tear everything apart.
Chika didn't back down either. She raised her kanabo, infused it with lightning, and used a move she had learned from Kaido-sensei, "Thunder Bagua!"
This was truly a 'Thunder' Bagua, infused with real lightning.
Blue-white electric light and the golden sword wave collided in mid-air.
Boom—!
The impact shook the sky, unleashing terrifying destructive power.
The shockwave spread outward, blowing the hair of the watching players.
The ground cracked, rocks flew, dust filled the air.
Kaguya's long hair was blown wildly. She stumbled, nearly falling.
Fortunately, Makoto reached out and grabbed her small hand in time.
"Th-thank you, Commander."
Kaguya quickly thanked him. Remembering the tea-feeding incident earlier, her face blushed again.
Makoto looked at Kaguya's long, straight, black hair blowing in the wind and said, "You would probably look very good with your hair tied up."
Although 'Ice Queen Kaguya' was nice too, Makoto's impression of this girl was more of the 'Goofy Kaguya' with her hair tied up.
Hearing this, Kaguya's expression changed slightly, then she lowered her head and replied, "Is that so? I'll try it then."
After the commotion subsided, Saeko sheathed her sword and praised with a smile, "Chika, your strength is now comparable to mine."
Chika scratched her head a little embarrassedly. "Not really. I'm just borrowing the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"That is still your strength."
Saeko said seriously.
"The fruit is also a part of you."
Chika smiled, revealing two small fangs.
Now that Chika had officially obtained the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Makoto and his group had no reason to stay in Skypiea any longer and prepared to leave.
Just then, Yu walked up and handed a Den Den Mushi to Makoto.
"Senpai, your call."
Makoto picked up the receiver. The Den Den Mushi's lips became considerably plumper. Without even hearing the voice, he could guess who was calling.
Sure enough, the Den Den Mushi spoke in Shakky's voice.
"The Kozuki Toki you're looking for has returned."
Hearing this, Makoto was startled.
He remembered that although Toki had returned to Wano Country before Oden, that was after Oden had jumped from the Whitebeard Pirates to the Roger Pirates.
'Right now, Kozuki Oden should still be with the Whitebeard Pirates. Why had Kozuki Toki returned already?'
'Could it be that I, as the butterfly, had caused a change?'
"What do you want to do?"
Shakky asked.
Makoto thought for a moment and said, "Detain her. Wait for me to come back."
"Got it."
After hanging up, Makoto turned to everyone and said, "Looks like we need to head back to Wano Country early."
