Chapter 237: Transfer of the Sand-Sand Fruit

Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

Uchiha Feiyu walked into the city carrying a huge package. As the capital of a country, it looked quite prosperous. Although not as prosperous as Yudi, it was much better than other cities he had seen along the way.

However, the people here came and went in a hurry, and everyone had a bit of panic on their face - although the Sand Crocodile was defeated, the problem of Alabasta was not solved.

The rain problem caused by the so-called dancing powder and the oasis city submerged by the sandstorm caused by Shaklockfall are indeed major problems that Alabasta is facing now, but they are not Alabasta’s fundamental problems.

The class stratification, bureaucratic corruption and numerous ills that have plagued the country for 800 years are the fundamental reasons why Alabasta has fallen into its current situation, and these cannot be completely solved by simply killing a sand crocodile.

Apart from anything else, there are still a lot of rebels in Alabasta! Cobra can't just pull out Crocodile and tell the rebels that these are all Crocodile's conspiracy, there will be no more dancing powder incidents in the future, everyone should go back to their own homes!
Even if he told them, the rebels wouldn't believe it! As for the weather returning to normal and the rain starting to fall normally?

Even if there were no dancing fans, many people in Alabasta would have almost died. The dancing fans incident was just the last straw that broke the camel's back!

What's more, everyone has revolted. If you tell me to go home, you are kidding me. What if the king wants to make a fuss? Then these people will have no power to resist.

In the original book, it was because the sand crocodile jumped out and became the target of the rebels and the king's army, attracting all the hatred, that's why the war did not break out completely in the end. But now the conditions are not there.

Therefore, the capital of Alabasta is still under the threat of the rebels. It would be strange if the civilians here could feel at ease.

"Stop, who are you? What's that on your back?"

At the gate of the palace, two guards looked at Uchiha Feiyu who was walking over with a wary expression, and their eyes were occasionally staring at the large package behind Uchiha Feiyu.

Although the royal family of Alabasta is relatively friendly, they will definitely not relax their security work at this critical juncture. These soldiers are now highly nervous, looking Uchiha Feiyu up and down, almost treating him as a terrorist.

"Wait a moment, I called Mr. Feiyu here, let him in!"

Just then a clear voice rang out, and Princess Vivi, who received the message, ran over in a hurry.

"Hey, you look really good after changing your outfit, Weiwei."

Uchiha Feiyu looked at Weiwei, who was finally dressed like a princess, and a smile appeared on his face:

"I brought you a nice gift. By the way, how are those guys in Baroque Studio doing now? Are they obedient? Do you need me to punish them?"

"Don't worry, Sister Robin easily controlled the members of Baroque Works. I think she can conquer Baroque Works alone even without my help."

Uchiha Feiyu nodded, not finding the news strange.

In fact, the real work of Baroque Works was basically done by Robin. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was the real boss of Baroque Works. In addition, both the crocodile and Mr. 1 had been killed by Uchiha Feiyu. Without any obstacles, it was normal for Robin to conquer Baroque Studio.

"In that case, that's fine. Although there aren't many strong people in Baroque Studio, the devil fruits of those people can still be useful if used properly."

Excluding Sand Crocodile, the only one who can be called a strong man in Baroque Works is Mr. 1 who was chopped by Uchiha Feiyu. Among the rest of the people, only Xiao Feng, the shemale, has a good imitation fruit effect, which can play a big role in certain occasions.

As for the remaining agents, their strength is just so-so. It cannot be said that they are useless, but they are of little use. Putting them on the front battlefield, even facing a mob like the rebels, they will not have much effect.

"Very good... Let's go inside first. It's not easy for me to take out the gift in public."

Uchiha Feiyu pointed to the package behind him and looked at the huge package. Princess Vivi obviously thought of something. Her face changed slightly and she showed joy.

Then she took Uchiha Feiyu into the palace. The two gatekeepers looked at each other and went back to guard the gate obediently.

The royal palace of Alabasta has undergone 800 years of renovation and covers a very large area. Princess Vivi took Uchiha Feiyu for a walk and then they came to a palace, pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room were several members of the Golden Merry, Usopp who was studying some random items, Nami who was looking at a nautical chart, and Robin who was reading a book.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the people looked up and saw Uchiha Feiyu coming in. Robin and Nami both smiled. Robin was the first to speak:
"Captain, it seems you have completed your mission? How is Shaklockfar now?"

Uchiha Feiyu put the package behind him on the ground and opened it. A bloody figure suddenly appeared in front of Robin.

"This is……"

"It's Shaklockfar! Feiyu, you actually captured him alive!"

Princess Vivi couldn't help but scream, with a mixed expression of surprise and joy on her face. Robin sighed softly and glanced at his former boss with a complicated look in his eyes.

Robin lived a relatively happy life under Shaklockfall. Although the two had different values ​​and would definitely go their separate ways in the future, Shaklockfall did not treat Robin badly at all when he was at the Baroque Studio, which made Robin feel a little guilty.

Of course, this guilt was just a little bit, and Robin knew in his heart that Shacklockfall and himself were just using each other, and once the guilt was gone, that would be the end of it.

Princess Vivi looked at Shaklockal who was lying unconscious on the ground with a look of embarrassment. She gritted her teeth, picked up her peacock feather, and pulled it on Shaklockal's shoulder. With a bang, a large cloud of sand mist exploded on Shaklockal's shoulder, and returned to its original state after a moment.

"It's this guy Crocodile... Feiyu, how did you beat him like this? Isn't he a natural devil fruit user?"

"This is where the Haki system comes in. It's a power that can counter Devil Fruits. If the Natural System was truly invincible, Crocodile wouldn't have escaped from the New World in such a mess."

Princess Weiwei nodded slightly. She didn't really care about Haki, she just asked out of curiosity. "Well, the reason I brought this guy here alive instead of just taking his head is because of his devil fruit. Weiwei, do you want the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit?"

Hearing this, Princess Weiwei was stunned. She said in surprise:
"The ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit? For me?"

After hanging out for so long, Princess Vivi naturally knew that Uchiha Feiyu possessed the ability to extract devil fruits. She even saw with her own eyes Uchiha Feiyu extract the ability of Mr. 3's candle fruit and give it to Usopp.

But whether it is Nami's slippery fruit, the lion's vulture fruit, or Usopp's candle fruit, none of them can be called powerful fruits at all.

However, the Sand-Sand Fruit is different. Even among the natural types, the Sand-Sand Fruit is considered a very powerful devil fruit. Whether it is the ability to create a sandstorm or the power to drain water from the enemy's body, it is much stronger than ordinary devil fruits.

It can be said that in the entire ocean, this devil fruit is second only to the powerful fruits in the first echelon, such as the Blue Dragon Fruit, Magma Fruit, and Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and it can be ranked at the top in the second echelon.

This devil fruit can be sold at any auction house for at least 20 to 30 billion Beli, and it can even be said to be in short supply.

The upper limit of the natural devil fruit may not be as good as the fantasy and superhuman types of the same level, but the lower limit is much stronger than those two devil fruits. Just the elementalization and increased range of attack is enough to ignore ordinary miscellaneous soldiers.

For most of the noobs with little potential, instead of gambling that they can reach the top of the world after obtaining powerful fantasy and superhuman types, it is better to eat a natural devil fruit, at least there is a guarantee.

Princess Vivi had never thought about such a precious item at the beginning. In her opinion, even if Uchiha Feiyu did not use the Sand-Sand Fruit himself, he could find a way to use this devil fruit to create a powerful subordinate instead of giving it to herself, a vase princess with limited potential.

Looking at Princess Weiwei's expression, Uchiha Feiyu touched his chin:

"Wait, speaking of which, when I transfer the power of the devil fruit, it seems that there will be some sequelae left. The bald neck of Lion Liki and the torch on Usopp's head are both manifestations of such sequelae."

"It would be bad if this Sand-Sand Fruit also has any side effects. It would be better for you to find someone you can trust in Alabasta and I will give him the power of the devil fruit. Anyway, this devil fruit can only exert its greatest power in this country."

In Princess Vivi's eyes, the extremely precious devil fruit is just a trivial matter in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes. After all, compared to finding devil fruits, finding devil fruit users is too easy.

Not to mention that before he got rid of the sequelae of the devil fruit, it was impossible for Uchiha Feiyu to eat the devil fruit. Even if he got rid of the sequelae of the devil fruit, Uchiha Feiyu's target could not be the Sand-Sand Fruit.

At least it has to be a Dark-Dark Fruit, Soul-Soul Fruit, or Vampire Fruit to be in line with Uchiha Feiyu's identity!

"Aftereffects..."

When it came to the sequelae, Princess Vivi finally reacted. Thinking of the bald neck of Lion Liki and the flame on Usopp's head, she quickly shook her head:

"Forget it, I'd better not eat it!"

To put it bluntly, Vivi is a beautiful princess, not a pirate who is crazy about power. Unless there is an imminent crisis, beauty is more important to her than strength.

She couldn't dare to imagine what it would be like if her blue hair turned into sand, or if her skin became as rough as sand.

However, Princess Vivi wanted to find someone she trusted to use the Sand-Sand Fruit, so she squinted her eyes and the first person she thought of was Ikarem, the curly-haired minister who had been undercover with her at Baroque Works.

With an idea in mind, Princess Weiwei immediately made a request, and Uchiha Feiyu nodded:

"Sure... Ikalem is willing to go undercover with you in Baroque Works, so he is definitely loyal."

Being able to become the captain of the Alabasta Royal Palace Guard, he should have some strength, at least he can fight much better than ordinary people.

The Alabasta royal family has few cards to play. Some loyal subordinates are not strong enough, some are strong but not loyal, and some meet both the conditions of loyalty and strength but have already eaten the devil fruit.

After choosing and choosing, Ikareem is indeed the best choice. Although with this guy's strength, he has indeed wasted such a powerful devil fruit as the Sand-Sand Fruit, but if you have to pick a general from among the dwarfs, this is the only choice.

Princess Vivi called Ikarem, and Uchiha Feiyu stabbed the unlucky sand crocodile to death with a knife, extracted the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, and transferred it directly to Ikarem. After a moment, the power was completely integrated into his body.

"Hmm...it looks like there aren't any sequelae."

Uchiha Feiyu touched his chin and spoke. Ikalem felt his body and nodded happily:

"Yeah, I really didn't feel any changes in my body..."

However, just as he nodded, a rustling sound was heard, and countless grains of sand emerged from his hair, which immediately stunned Ikalem.

The minister with curly hair quickly took out a comb from his arms and gently combed his curly hair. With a rustling sound, a lot of sand was combed out of his hair.

After a while, after a series of tests, the group finally figured out the specific circumstances of the aftereffects.

Good news - Ikalem's hair didn't turn to sand, so he won't have sandy hair, or be bald.

The bad news - Ikalem's hair constantly secretes impure quartz particles, which means it constantly secretes sand, causing considerable trouble to his personal life.

However, apart from this, there are no other side effects of this transfer of devil fruit abilities, and Ikareem also inherited the development progress of Shaklockal's Sand-Sand Fruit, and directly acquired 60% to 70% of Shaklockal's strength.
