Chapter 58: Arranging a Ceasefire



The ladies rose up into the air carried by flying figurehead Cabernet.

She dropped them off at the top of the beanstalk which did not take very long to reach.

With a cursory search with her Life Sense, Cherry quickly located the cloud iron box tucked away inside a carved out portion of the giant vine.

Naturally, she was able to do so because the contents of the box gave of a vital energy signature. One identical to that of an uneaten devil fruit.

Cherry pulled the box out of the vine and inspected it. It appeared to be locked, but that wasn't a huge issue.

Cherry positioned the box so she could rip it open, but Serene stopped her at this moment. She held up some lock picking tools and appeared to be quite smug about them.

"Alright you can give it a try, but if you fail you're going to be punished." Cherry said, which wiped the smug grin off her face, replacing it with trepidation.

Serene worked away at the lock with nervous sweat beading on her brow. With each minute that passed she grew less patient and more frustrated, glancing at Cherry from time to time as if to make sure she wasn't going to do anything to her.

After about 3 minutes, she did manage to get the box unlocked and heaved a sigh of relief. She slumped backwards, which normally wouldn't have been an issue, but she was currently standing with quite the fall directly behind her.

As she remembered this fact, she began to panic and desperately flailed her arms trying to regain her balance. She was not very successful in that endeavor, but fortunately Robin created some arms to catch her at the last moment.

Serene blushed with embarrassment.

While Serene had been picking the lock, a battle had been raging far below them. It hadn't calmed down at all and in fact was becoming quite a bit more violent.

Explosions rang out from the battlefield as the Shandians arrived to interrupt God Gan Fall and Enel's fight. It quickly devolved into a 3 way free for all.

Cherry turned her attention away from the battlefield and to the now open box.

Inside rested the devil fruit which appeared to be a blue pineapple with a lightning shaped stem that glowed slightly.

Naturally Cherry recognized this fruit and Robin recognized it as well. This was a famous devil fruit after all, one of the few that are called "invincible". This was the Rumble Rumble Fruit, a logia fruit that turned one into a lightning human.

The title of invincible was a bit of an exaggeration though. One could only really be invincible in the lower powered seas and only if you were lucky enough not to run into a big shot. In the right hands it would be terribly difficult to deal with, however.

Cherry was kind of disappointed that this wasn't the first fruit she had found. Still, feeding it to her sword was a close second, though she would have to wait to make the most of it when she was close to perfecting the Spirit Root Realm.

'It's only been less than a minute since she appeared! What sort of monster is she?!' Wyper exclaimed in his mind.

Gan Fall and Enel were also somewhat shocked, as they reevaluated her capabilities.

"Are you going to stop, or are you going to make me make you stop?" Cherry asked.

Wyper turned his burn bazooka towards her and fired a column of white-blue fire at her, disintegrating the island cloud that it touches.

Nothing remained in the trajectory of its path.

A sharp pain erupted over his entire right leg and Wyper fell over.

"You got two warnings and wasted both. Do not blame me for being merciless." Cherry said, looking down upon his coldly.

Her fist collided with his face and his brain bounced around in his skull, rendering him

unconscious.

Enel and Gan Fall contemplated their options. Cherry had moved absurdly fast and judging by Wyper's floppy right leg, had pulverized his leg bones in one move.

Gan Fall did not entertain any thought of surrender, however, and attacked Enel. He did not believe Cherry had a method to harm him, but Enel did.

"Damn it, you crazy old man! Do you think I'm the biggest problem here?!" Enel swore to himself that he'd teach this geezer a lesson when he got a hold of Birka's Treasure.

"Hmph, that little girl cannot contend with God-OOF!" Gan Fall received a drop kick into his

back.

Naturally Cherry had included Armament Haki in the kick, to make sure it hurt. "You'll be feeling that in the morning, you old coot!"

Cherry drew her gun and pointed it at Enel. "Just so you know, this is a custom pistol. It won't

just point a little hole in you."

Enel smiled with some unwillingness and dropped his spear, raising his hands.

"I'm glad that you have at least half a brain, friend." Cherry smirked. "Let's get a little parley going then, shall we?"
