Chapter 15 Thunder Fruit
.........

Bernard came to the map and observed carefully, hoping to get some clues from the map.

The map in this chapter is very complete and detailed. It shows on the map that the entire island is roughly divided into five regions.

The temple is located in the center of the entire island, with slums to the west, wealthy areas to the east, commercial areas to the south, and barren areas to the north.

Bernard looked at the map and narrowed his eyes in thought: "From what I know, Enil Road should most likely be in a poor area or a barren area, so the Thunder Fruit is also most likely to be in these two areas."

It is also easy to understand the meaning of the respective regional names literally.

Only this map is not enough, Bernard asked Xiao Lan and Davis to search for relevant information together in the room.

"Found it!" Bernard was holding a book in his hand, with "Bika History Record" written on the cover.

Bernard opened the book and found that it recorded the history of Bica Island in the last 200 years.

On one page of the book it says:

In 1440 of the lunar calendar, giant sea kings invaded Bika, and the guards of the temple resisted desperately, and finally repelled them...

The ancient temple suffered heavy damage in the battle, and the high priest Dix moved the temple to the center of the island because he was worried that the sea kings would make a comeback...

In the end, no one dared to go to the northern part of the island, and it gradually became a barren area.

Seeing this, Bernard felt that the Thunder Fruit was more likely to be in the barren area than in the slums.

Enilo's activities in Bika Island should only be in slums and barren areas. If the thunder fruit is in the slums, it will be difficult for Enilo to discover it after nearly 20 years.

On the contrary, there is this possibility in the barren area. After all, the barren area is sparsely populated, there are not many people coming, and there are even fewer places to be discovered, so it is possible that the thunderous fruit has not been discovered.

Bernard felt that his thoughts made sense, and he couldn't wait to take action and prepare to go to the slums.

"It's not the time yet, wait until tomorrow when everything is stable." Bernard watched the sky slowly getting dark outside, and suppressed his thoughts.

Dix hasn't come back yet.

Just now, Bernard and his party came directly to the temple without hiding at all, and they had already alarmed the Bika people.

It's not easy for Dix to stabilize now, but Dix has ruled Bica for decades, and he still has a lot of prestige. It won't be long before this kind of thing can be dinner.

Xiaolan has already gone out to prepare food for Bernard, and only Davis is left by her side.

Bernard sat looking through Dix's library and waiting.

"Exercise Method of Heart Network" Bernard held the name of the book in his hand.

Bernard carefully flipped through the entire book, and recorded in it all the experience of Bika's cultivation of the highest combat power over the years.

Bernard handed the book to Davis next to him: "How about this book, Davis."

Davis took the book and flipped through it quickly and replied: "The heart network recorded in this book is knowledge and domineering. Their training methods are a bit rough, but there are some merits."

Bernard knows that Xinwang is another name for Sorashima's knowledgeable domineering, just like people in Wano country call the armed domineering "Ryu Sakura".

Bernard wanted to ask Davis some knowledge about domineering, but he heard a knock on the door.

"come in."

Xiaolan was carrying Bernard's dinner, followed by Dix and others.

Bernard asked Dix directly: "Is everything done?"

"My lord, the situation on the island is now stable." Dix
"That's right, I'm going to the barren area tomorrow, you go and prepare." Bernard praised.

"Understood, my lord." Dix retreated quietly.

Bernard waved at the ten guards and sent them back.

Today is really a thrilling day for Dix, from heaven to hell.

After leaving the room, Dix had no intention of escaping at all. He knew that he had been being watched by those ten people and had no chance.

.........

Just being interrupted, Bernard had no intention of asking Davis.

Bernard slowly enjoyed his dinner, and after a short exercise, he took a bath and went to the prepared room, ending his first day of travel on Sky Island.

.........

the next morning

Bernard followed Dix's lead to the ancient temple in the barren area.

Stepping into the temple, you can see a dilapidated statue. The main body of the statue is made of stone, and the face has long been blurred.There is a crown woven with olive branches on the top of the head, the left hand is held empty, and the right hand is empty, as if there was something in both hands.

According to Dix, the crisis situation at the time was that the statue was too heavy, so only the valuables on the stone statue were taken away.

The other things in the ancient temple had long been emptied during the migration, and only this stone statue in the main hall was left in the entire temple.

Bernard stared at the stone statue, which was the most likely place where the thunder fruit was.

Pointing at the stone statue, Bernard ordered to the guards next to him, "Smash this stone statue open."

One of them stepped forward: "Please avoid it."

Bernard withdrew from the hall and watched the man push down the stone statue directly.

"Bang!"

The stone statue fell to the ground and exploded, and the head of a stone statue just rolled to Bernard's feet.

Bernard looked at the head and ordered: "Smash this head open."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three punches, the guards broke the head with three punches, only to see a gray and simple box revealed.

Seeing this box, Bernard suddenly lifted his heart, and Bernard slowly opened the box with excitement and nervousness.

A pineapple-shaped fruit with lightning threads appeared in Bernard's eyes, and Bernard picked up the fruit with ecstasy in his eyes.

"That's right! That's right! It's exactly the same as the one on the illustrated book. It's this fruit—the thunderous fruit." Bernard's heart was turbulent and he couldn't calm down, and the ecstasy on his face could no longer be concealed.

Bernard put the thunderous fruit back into the box as he resisted to eat the thunderous fruit immediately.

Bernard picked up the box himself, turned around and said, "Go back!"

"Yes!"

.........

Back at the temple, Bernard sat alone in the study, and both Davis and Xiaolan were sent out by Bernard.

Taking out the thunderous fruit again, Bernard couldn't wait to take a bite and swallow it.

"vomit~"

"It really tastes bad, no wonder it was said to taste like shit in the previous life." Bernard complained with a bitter face.

Looking down at the thunder fruit that he had bitten in his hand, Bernard thought of some things in his previous life. Some people thought that they had to eat the whole devil fruit in order to gain [-]% strength.

He also gave an example: Walpo's swallowing fruit is because Walpo did not eat the whole fruit, which led to the poor development of the fruit's ability.

This matter is very vague in Bernard's memory, but now Bernard hesitated, and swallowed all the remaining fruits.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, it's about your own strength, Bernard still tries his best to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Bernard stretched out his right hand, carefully sensing the inner strength in his body, and slowly guiding it out.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

I saw streaks of blue current winding around Bernard's right hand.

"Is this the power of the thunder fruit?" Bernard felt the unprecedented power in his body while looking at the electric current in his hand, and felt that he was almost invincible now.
