Chapter 12: The Luscious Fruit

emsp;emsp;海克心中一慌,面上却强装镇定,不动声色地收回了手。

emsp;emsp;斯威特那边立马抬手一巴掌,狠狠甩在了雪狮的脑袋上,怒声呵斥道:

emsp;emsp;"Be honest, you little beast! If you had accidentally bumped into Colonel-sama, I would have skinned you and made soup out of you when I get back!"

emsp;emsp;Despite Minming Suweit's slender and frail figure, he appeared like a child in front of the massive snow lion. However, it seemed that his commanding presence still had an effect, as his scolding was effective. Translated: "

emsp;emsp;The snow lion's body trembled slightly, and it timidly lowered its head, no longer daring to snarl or growl.

emsp;emsp;"I apologize, Colonel."

em

emsp;He exclaimed in surprise because, during the gap in his explanation, Vito, who had been silently following behind, suddenly extended his right hand towards the head of the snow lion.

emsp;emsp;眼看刚才的一幕又要重演,斯威特简直要急的哭出来,只要雪狮咬伤了人,那么不管是对海克上校这边,还是对自己身后的家族,都没法交代。

emsp;emsp;这个叫维托的上尉……明明之前一直觉着挺沉稳的,应当是海克上校最得力倚重的下属才对,怎么这时候亲眼看到了前车之鉴,还非得去作这个死呢!

emsp;emsp;然而,接下来的一幕,却是他怎么也没想到过的。

emsp;emsp;原本因为又有生人靠近,而龇着牙抬起头的雪狮,在见到维托后,却是微微歪头,碧绿色的瞳孔中露出明显的困惑之色。

emsp;emsp;等到维托的右手落在脑袋顶上,开始肆意揉搓的时候,它非但没有抗拒,脸上竟还露出了享受的神色,甚至亲昵地顶起脑袋,主动往维托怀里蹭去。

emsp;What?"

emsp;emsp;海克瞪大眼睛,瞬间心里不平衡了,扭过头责问起斯威特来,“怎么回事,你不是说这种畜生喜欢欺生吗?”

I, I don't know either.

Swite looked at the fierce-looking snow lion, which was as docile in Vito's palm as a Samoyed. He was also confused and unable to figure it out. In the end, he could only attribute it to Vito's personal charm. "Unbelievable... Even foreign beasts can read people's intentions, huh..."

emsp;emsp;He muttered the last sentence in a low voice, afraid that Hack would hear it.

emsp;emsp;Although this incident was magical, it was ultimately just a little episode. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone assigned themselves seats and boarded the three "carriages" sent by the Hansen family.

emsp;emsp;海克作为最高长官,理所当然地单独占据了第一辆的车厢,维托与希尔上了第二辆,亚诺老甘就比较惨了,他们俩得和瑟提共挤最后一辆马车。

emsp;emsp;The giant bloodline is no joke. This towering figure, standing at five meters tall, takes up most of the space, leaving little room for others. Yano, hidden under his black robe, remained indifferent to the situation, but Old Gan was clearly displeased and continuously grumbled softly throughout the journey.

emsp;Hey, you said your legs are thicker than those several snow lions. Why do you have to squeeze into the carriage with us? Can't you just run down there with us? It's just a dozen kilometers, you can even break a sweat and warm up your body.

emsp;emsp;"What exactly have you been doing all these years? One meal could sustain three weeks for others. You should have been sold back then. The young master said our mountain stronghold was bankrupted because of you, and I thought it was a joke at that time. Now, I'm starting to believe it a little."

Hey hey hey, can you move a bit inside? Your arm is pressing against my chest, I can hardly breathe... Oh, it's just your thumb. That's fine then.

emsp;emsp;……

emsp;emsp;Insults like these have never stopped.

emsp;emsp;老甘就是这么个嘴碎的性情,之前对着素未相识的海克,都能罗里吧嗦扯一大堆,对于真正的自己人,那就更是随时可以化身为折磨王一般的存在。

emsp;emsp;而瑟提每次只是一直憨憨地笑着,似乎很不好意思,但其实却压根没搭理过老甘的意见,任凭胖老头被挤的脸都涨红了,也没往里蜷缩过身体。

emsp;emsp;人不可貌相,谁说傻大个就一定得是实诚人了?

emsp;emsp;这场发生在后面的闹剧,维托自然不清楚,坐在中间第二辆马车车厢中的他,此刻正默默无言地看着窗外的飞雪,脑中回想着方才雪狮亲昵讨好自己的一幕。

Just as he was about to be bitten in Haik, the reason why he suddenly reached out his hand was not a sudden whim, but just to test the abilities of the fruits he had observed and researched during his days adrift at sea.

There has never been any record of the emerald green fruit in the illustrated book. Vitto named it "Forest Fruit" based on its ability to manipulate plants and transform its own body's elements into the "wood" element of the natural world.

emsp;Without a doubt, this is a devil fruit with immense development value. When it falls into the hands of a qualified strong individual, it signifies unlimited possibilities. Its preciousness and rarity surpass any natural-type devil fruit.

emsp;emsp;即便是以维托的天赋悟性,这段时间夜以继日地钻研下来,也仅仅只是初窥门径,掌握了几种最为简单粗浅的运用方式而已。

emsp;emsp;想要玩出花活,还有不少的路要走,得等到海克正式走马上任,自己一行人在海军基地内部安定下来后,才能专心去深入钻研。

emsp;emsp;“元素化的熟练度训练,攻击性上的提高……”

emsp;emsp;窗外的风雪更大了,维托的思维也是越发集中活跃,各种计划想法如潮水般纷至沓来,使得他无意识间低声自言自语起来:

As for the training methods of dominating aura and the six techniques, we need to find a way to obtain them. The ocean is not like the deep mountains; we can't rely solely on these abilities to get by forever.

Unfortunately, Haik is a guy who knows a little bit but lacks a full understanding. He didn't even keep the notes and materials from the training camp, and he himself didn't understand it, let alone teach others...

emsp;emsp;“小小的78支部,就算能找到其余会的人,估计也不会比海克好到哪里去,还是得通过别的渠道获取。”

emsp;emsp;Thinking too much can inevitably lead to some irritation.

emsp;emsp;Vito took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Just as he was about to take a puff to release the pressure in his mind, he suddenly noticed the silver-haired girl sitting across from him, carrying a giant sword on her back. She was silently staring at him with eyes as clear as the sea. Translate the above content from Chinese to English and keep all @ matches. Only reply to the translated content.
