"It's really hidden~"

Suzuki, who had transformed into a Devil Fruit, sighed.

He did not expect the Swallow-Swallow Fruit to be hidden in such a place. If it were not for his well-thought-out plan, he would probably have to forcefully snatch it when Wapol ate the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. The chances of success of that method were very low.

It was pitch black all around.

Suzuki knew that he had been put into a box, and beside him was the Paramecia Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

Suzuki had already made a plan when he was in the warehouse.

According to Suzuki's speculation, for the Drum Kingdom, Devil Fruits were definitely very precious items. Such precious items were most likely only known to King Valkyrie.

Either he could directly capture Valkyrie and interrogate him, but this method might not be able to find out the hiding place of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. Even if he did, it would be easy to cause a big commotion. With Suzuki's strength, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Suzuki chose another method. Since he could not find it himself, he would let Valkyrie send him to the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

So, he used the Transformation Technique to transform into a Devil Fruit!

The formation of the Devil Fruit itself was the result of the ability of a nearby ability user being randomly transferred to a nearby fruit after death.

Coincidentally, there were many fruits in the warehouse, and Drum Island was a great medical country. It was normal for a hidden Devil Fruit ability user to come here for treatment.

The patient who came for treatment was not cured and died. Then, the ability was transferred to the warehouse of the royal capital, where there were the most fruits. This was obviously very reasonable.

Therefore, although the guard captain, Arsala Kolmi, was cautious, he did not seem to be suspicious.

Suzuki also understood through the battle of wits in the warehouse that this Arsala Kolmi was a loyal guard who was conscientious and responsible.

The facts were indeed as Suzuki had expected. As soon as the guard captain discovered the Devil Fruit, he sent it to the king.

And the Swallow-Swallow Fruit was going to be fed to Wapol. Then, after Valkyrie obtained a new Devil Fruit, he would most likely store this Devil Fruit in the place where the Swallow-Swallow Fruit was originally placed.

The facts did not deviate from Suzuki's expectations. Everything was proceeding accurately according to his speculation.

At this moment, in the secret room, after Valkyrie put the Devil Fruit in the box, there was still a smile on his face. He could not help but sigh:

"My luck is really good. It's a pity that I don't know what ability this fruit is. It would be great if I had a Devil Fruit Illustration Book."

"Who should I give this new fruit to? Sanel, or Bexsky? Forget it, let's see if there are any suitable candidates."

As he spoke, he thought of Wapol, that stupid son of his. The smile on his face instantly disappeared:

"With this fruit, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is not a pity. I hope that after that stupid egg Wapol recovers from his illness, he will not let the Swallow-Swallow Fruit's excellent ability go to waste."

Then, Valkyrie closed the lid, put the box back in the hole, and walked out of the secret room.

After a long while, the secret room became silent.

Suzuki, who didn't hear any more movement, waited patiently for a while longer. At the same time, he carefully sensed the size of the box and the appearance of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

After confirming it, he was not prepared to hide any longer. After all, he had already found the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, and the fruit was about to be taken away.

When everything was ready, he decisively released the Transformation Technique!

In an instant, Suzuki felt the tightness brought by the small space inside the iron box. He struggled to form hand seals with his hands.

"Bang~"

Suzuki used the Transformation Technique again and transformed into a white snake. Looking at the Paramecia Swallow-Swallow Fruit that was within reach, he did not hesitate and rushed forward to take a bite!

The taste was indeed shit,

But Suzuki finally had the ability of a Devil Fruit!

The ability of the Devil Fruit was very magical. The moment he bit off the flesh and swallowed it, he could vaguely feel the existence of the ability.

Suzuki tried to activate his ability. The long snake he had transformed into slowly opened its mouth, getting bigger and bigger. Finally, it easily swallowed the thick iron box and part of the floor in one bite...

After coming out, Suzuki released the Transformation Technique again. Then, he sat on the ground, feeling the magical ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit in his body. A smile appeared on his face.

After resting, he got up and looked at the surrounding environment. It was dim and airtight. However, for him now, leaving this place was a very simple matter.

Suzuki looked at the secret room. There were not many things here. Most of them were documents and decorations. Of course, they might also be some important things hidden in some secret compartment, just like the box before.

He did not become obsessed with money and do things like randomly flipping switches, opening secret compartments, and searching for treasures.

After all, the slight movement before was very small, and it was seperated by the floor. The walls of the secret room were also very thick, so it could not be heard outside.

But if he touched anything now, Valkyrie would probably know about it instantly.

Then, a large number of guards would come over, including the guard captain, Arsala Kolmi, and another very strong ability user.

He had only eaten the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and gained some magical abilities. He could not do something like single-handedly destroying a country for the time being.

Without wasting any time, he sat on the ground and quickly began to clean up.

First, he spat out the box, opened it, and saw that it was empty.

Suzuki smiled, then took out two fruits that he had brought from the warehouse before.

Thinking about the appearance of the Devil Fruit he had transformed into and the appearance of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit that he had remembered, he carefully made them.

Soon, two "Devil Fruits" were placed in the box again. In terms of appearance, they were no different from before.

Suzuki closed the box again, carefully placed it in its original position, and then spat out the floor and carefully installed it.

After everything was done, Suzuki came to the corner of the wall and transformed into a white snake again. He dug the wall while eating and filling it up. He easily left this place with the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit...

...

On the five-thousand-meter-high Drum Rock, a small white snake was carefully crawling on the snow.

With the disguise of the white snow and its flexible and small body, the little white snake quickly crawled to the edge of the cliff.

Without any hesitation, the little white snake continued to crawl forward until it was close to the cliff.

Only then did Suzuki release the Transformation Technique. He used his chakra to carefully stick to the cliff and then activated the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. He turned his hands into drills and forcefully stabbed them into the rock wall, slowly sliding down.

Soon, Suzuki arrived at the ground. Looking at the familiar scene around him, this was the place he had explored before.

Suzuki looked in the direction of the village and did not hesitate to choose the shortest route. He turned and walked towards the port of Drum Island...

As for what Valkyrie's reaction would be after Wapol ate the fake Swallow-Swallow Fruit?

Perhaps Valkyrie would think that he had bought a fake Devil Fruit. Perhaps he would also be unlucky enough to find out later that the other Devil Fruit was also fake~

But Suzuki was not interested in these. As long as the turmoil in the royal capital subsided, the matter of Drum Island would be over.

His current goal was to leave Drum Island and head to the West Blue.

Furthermore, there were only ten days left before his second return...
