Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Liz has been unable to make any sounds since she was a child. It was not until she met Rocks that she was able to communicate through thoughts.But now after eating the Devil Fruit, he can actually speak?

"Great! Really great!"

Liz was able to speak, and Rocks was even more excited than she was. He lifted her from the chair and held her in his arms, constantly praising her.

Although Liz was stunned by his behavior, she didn't hate it and silently accepted his embrace.

It wasn't until Rocks realized that his behavior was inappropriate that he quickly put Liz back on the chair.

"Ahem, um...I'm a little too excited, sorry..."

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Rocks didn't look like a great pirate at this moment.

Liz gently touched her throat, feeling the vibrations when she spoke. This feeling was also very new to her. She pulled Rocks and spoke continuously for a long time, as if she wanted to express what she had not been able to say in these years. The words came out in one breath, until finally he could no longer hold back his sleepiness, and then he fell into Rocks' arms and fell asleep.

Rocks looked helplessly at the sleeping Liz, and was about to take her back to her bedroom, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

A small vine protruded from Liz's fingertips, swaying around like a green snake. Finally it stared at Rocks and suddenly became straight, trying to pierce his skin.

Rocks immediately wanted to use his armed haki to block the thorns of the vines, but the next moment he withdrew his haki and allowed the vines to pierce his arm.

A force is slowly absorbing his physical strength, but the amount absorbed is not huge. For Rocks, it is not even as much as the recovery amount of a meal.

"Liz?"

Rocks gently shook the sleeping Liz, who was still asleep at this time. When she heard his call, she only murmured without meaning. It seemed that Liz was not the one taking the initiative.

"It's really strange. Devil fruits can actually work independently of the person with abilities?"

Putting Liz back into her bedroom, Rocks took out the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" and read the introduction about the Sensen Fruit carefully.

"The Sensen Fruit allows the eater to transform into any plant, and can cultivate improved plant genes on its own. It is extremely helpful in plant research. It is a high-quality fruit.

Note that Sensen Fruit will also cause the eater to exhibit some plant characteristics, such as liking the sun, hating the cold, or engaging in predatory behavior when nutrients are lacking. 』

"Plundering nutrients? In other words, the Devil Fruit noticed that Liz's physical condition was not optimistic, so it wanted to plunder the nutrients around her to improve her physical condition?"

If this is the case, then Liz can't stay with other crew members for the time being. Although this speed of plundering is nothing to everyone, it will always cause dissatisfaction from others.

In this case, he can only reluctantly be a 'blood pack' once.

Putting the illustrated book back on the bookshelf, Rocks avoided other members and came to Liz's room alone. The 'Kill on Witness' was activated. He didn't want to become what others called a pervert the next day. After all, this behavior of sneaking into a girl's room was not normal, right?

呲!

As expected, Sensen Fruit was still looking for nutrients to plunder near Liz. Sensing Rox's approach, the vines quickly sprang out. This time, more vines branched out than last time, and they were densely pierced in his hand. superior.

But Rocks didn't have any dissatisfaction or disgust, he just looked at Liz's sleeping face quietly.

"Unknowingly, this girl has grown so big from her small size at the beginning? It must have been quite hard for her to be by my side all these years."

Rocks stretched out his other hand and gently touched Liz's cheek, and found a few tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Have you had a nightmare?"

Locks helped her wipe away the tears, but heard Liz murmuring:

"Don't... abandon me... Rocks..."

"This girl." Rocks was helpless. What kind of nightmare was this? Was she that scary in her dream?He would actually abandon her!

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will never abandon you, Liz!" Rocks whispered in her ear, and Liz's expression gradually calmed down.

……

Early the next morning, Rocks woke up from his deep sleep. Liz's Devil Fruit absorbed nutrients overnight, causing him to fall into a rare deep sleep.

then……

The first time he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Qi's playful gaze.

"Oh, no wonder I said I couldn't find anyone to report the situation. It turned out that I went to spend the night in the little girl's room?"

Lizzie gradually woke up from Xia Qi's voice. When she opened her eyes and found Rocks and Xia Qi in the room, she looked a little confused.

Immediately, Liz seemed to have thought of something, and quickly covered her chest with the quilt, and then slowly looked down from the quilt, but found nothing strange.

"Well……"

Liz let out a sigh of relief or regret, but Xia Qi's eyes widened slightly.

"Liz, your voice?"

"Yesterday I gave Liz the devil fruit to eat. Now her voice has recovered and is no different from a normal person. The reason why I stayed here was just because I was worried about the side effects. It seems to be fine now."

With that said, Locks stood up and stretched, and there was a clicking sound from his bones, as if there were no moving parts for a long time.

"Oops, I'm so hungry. Is breakfast ready?"

"You have to ask the chef, how do I know?" Xia Qi glanced at him angrily, but was keenly aware that Rocks' aura was a little confused. Didn't he have a good rest yesterday?

Xia Qi's eyes glanced at Liz. Although he didn't know the reason, it was probably related to the devil fruit.

No matter what happened, it seems that there should be no problem now, otherwise Rocks would not appear so relaxed. With how much he cares about Liz, if Liz is really in any condition, I am afraid he will have to turn this sea area upside down. Go to the sky.

For breakfast that day, Locks ate twice as much as usual. If it weren't for the chef's habit of preparing extra food, I'm afraid the crew on this ship would be hungry.

Lingling looked at Rocks devouring his food and said in surprise:

"Uncle's appetite turns out to be so big. It feels like he eats a lot more than Lingling!"

Looking at this scene, Longbread didn't know how to express his helplessness. He thought that preparing Lingling's breakfast was already very tiring, but after seeing the captain's appetite, he suddenly felt that being Lingling's chef was not a bad thing.
