The not-loud words seemed to be infused with magic at this moment.
Just a moment ago, Chaton had failed to confess his love.
Throughout the year, in the Marine Headquarters, there weren't a hundred people who confessed their love to Momousagi, but there were at least ninety-nine.
But for someone like Laxus, who expressed his intentions right after someone else had failed, it gave people a feeling that his actions were too ugly.
What's more, the Devil Fruit that Chaton had taken out just now was a bit shabby, but it was at least an Ancient Zoan-type.
To surpass the Ancient Zoan-type, it would at least have to be a Paramecia-type, or even the rarer Logia-type.
"Laxus, what do you mean by this?" Chaton's expression sank, and he said urgently.
"Momousagi didn't even like the Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit in my hand. I don't believe that a kid like you would have anything rare that would move Vice Admiral Momousagi."
Faced with Chaton's aggressive words, the Marine soldiers and officers in the field felt that he was going a bit too far.
However, in their eyes, anyone who pursued the Marine goddess was a public enemy of the entire Marine.
What's more, they also desperately wanted to see what trump card Kai had in his hand that could overwhelm Chaton.
"Hehe, Vice Admiral Chaton, you've misunderstood." Kai chuckled and, like a magician, took out the remaining Devil Fruit from the system space with a backhand.
Watching this scene, the people present were stunned first, and the gazes they cast at Kai had a trace of shock.
After all, to be able to conjure a fruit out of thin air in front of their eyes, this kind of method wasn't something that just anyone could do.
"Laxus, is this the Turkey Fruit from the auction house just now?" Momousagi looked at this familiar fruit, and her willow eyebrows raised, seeming a bit surprised.
"Turkey?"
Chaton was stunned. The image of an ugly turkey flashed through his mind, and he said, "Laxus, you're not planning to tell me that this is what you've prepared as a token of affection for Vice Admiral Momousagi, are you?"
"You're insulting our intelligence!"
"Even if my Ancestral Bird is ugly, it's still much stronger than your turkey. Are you intentionally mocking Momousagi?"
The Marine soldiers present didn't refute Chaton's vulgar words.
In their eyes, ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits and Ancient Zoan-types simply couldn't be compared.
"Chaton, shut up. This has nothing to do with Laxus." Momousagi scolded coldly.
"At the auction house, Laxus probably saw that I wanted to bid for this fruit, so he took it out now."
"However, I still want to thank you for your kindness, Laxus. I can't take this Devil Fruit. If you need Beli, you can propose an equivalent transaction to the Marine Headquarters in my name."
At the beginning, Momousagi wanted to defeat Kai and prove that she was the closest to becoming an admiral.
So she desperately wanted to use the power of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit to increase her combat power.
However, she had figured it out now. What's more, as a woman, she couldn't get past the hurdle of loving beauty.
"Are you really not going to take it? According to my deduction, this should be a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit." Kai smiled playfully and said, "If you don't want it, then forget it."
Mythical Zoan-type? The Marines present were stunned.
Even Zephyr and Momousagi were no exception.
After all, Mythical Zoan-types and ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits were completely different levels of existence.
In terms of rarity, probably even Logia-types couldn't compare.
Right now, as soon as Kai opened his mouth, he said that this Turkey Fruit was actually a Mythical Zoan-type.
The difference between before and after was a bit too big.
"Laxus, don't spout nonsense here. Whether this is a Turkey Fruit or not, we can just take out the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and check." Chaton shouted urgently.
Right now, Kai's actions had undoubtedly been classified as the enemy by Chaton.
As long as he found any opportunity, he would spare no effort to suppress him.
"No, I've also seen the Turkey Fruit. It's indeed a bit different from the one in Laxus's hand, but I can't be sure if it's a Mythical Zoan-type. After all, it's difficult to distinguish many Devil Fruits based solely on their surface appearance." Zephyr frowned and scrutinized it before speaking.
As the former admiral of the Marine Headquarters and the chief instructor of the Marine recruit camp, Zephyr's experience wasn't something that ordinary people could compare to.
"Momousagi, I also agree with Zephyr's view!" Tsuru also nodded in agreement.
"We can't determine if this fruit is a Mythical Zoan-type, but if you really intend to improve your strength through the power of a Devil Fruit, then you at least need to have the courage to make a choice."
"After all, the Devil Fruit encyclopedia is just for you to use as a reference. You still need to grasp your own destiny in your own hands to truly decide it."
Feeling the gazes that had suddenly landed on her, Momousagi fell silent at once.
Seeing this scene, a trace of anxiety flashed across Chaton's face, and he said, "Momousagi, don't take the risk. If this is really a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, then it's a priceless treasure. Who would be willing to give it to a woman they've never met for nothing?"
"Not everyone is infatuated with you!" The urgent voice echoed in the port. Faced with Chaton's words, the Marine soldiers in the field were also moved.
After all, if they were to put a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit and a beautiful woman in front of them, they would definitely choose the former.
In this world of the law of the jungle, having a strong fist was the only truth.
However, faced with all of this, Kai still maintained a smile, as if he hadn't taken these words to heart at all, and quietly stared at Momousagi.
"I'm willing to try!" Momousagi suddenly raised her head, and a trace of determination appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "Laxus, can you let me be willful once?"
"Take a gamble?" Kai smiled and, in front of everyone, reached out and rubbed Momousagi's head, and said, "If a man doesn't even give a woman a chance to be willful, then he's a failure."
"Sometimes, you should cut it off when it's time to cut it off. Taking this step might allow you to understand more and go further in swordsmanship."
While speaking, Kai handed the Devil Fruit in his hand to Momousagi. Watching this scene, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Unfortunately, before everyone could react this time, the determination in Momousagi's beautiful eyes became even more firm, and with a slight opening of her red lips, she directly took a bite.
Gulp! Many people present swallowed a mouthful of saliva as they saw this scene.
To have the Marine goddess eat a suspected Turkey Fruit, if she lost the gamble, then she would turn from a phoenix into a chicken.
"Momousagi, you...how do you feel now?" Tsuru hurriedly asked first.
She had always regarded Momousagi as her younger sister. Under this crucial link that would determine her destiny,
Tsuru desperately wanted to know the result.
