"Hey... stinky old man, you're ignoring me, right? You really think I don't dare to beat you, right... hmm? If you don't give me an explanation for this, I... I'll make it impossible for you to eat. Let’s go, do you believe it?”

"Well, well, Dylan, please give me some face and don't worry about these details. Uncle Hua is a scholar. I came to him because I also wanted to ask you about something."

Ace quickly held down Dylan who was about to go berserk.

Dylan fell silent for a moment, but it was not because of Crocus, but...

Give me some face?

The fruit of face?

Isn't this a famous saying of red-haired Shanks? How come Ace also learned it?

By the way, what does Ace have to do with red hair? If you think about it carefully, Ace seems more like a redhead than Roger, right? If the information hadn't been announced from the beginning, Dylan would have thought that Ace was the red-haired son. Looking at their appearance, Roger and Ace...don't look alike at all.

Hmm, but he does look a bit like Roger when he was young.

But it looks more like a young redhead.

By the way, the red hair...can't be Roger's brother or something, right?

Hahahaha, pure Waiwai.

It seemed that he had finally finished studying his palm. Crocus' expression became serious: "Boy, show me your ability again."

Dylan gave Crocus the middle finger, sat down on the edge of the island, and soaked his feet.

Too lazy to talk to you.

"Bad boy...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!"

"Well, Uncle Hua, calm down, calm down."

After spending a few days with Dylan, Ace somewhat understood the meaning of that gesture. Although Dylan didn't explain it to him, every time he appeared in that posture, Dylan was depressed and angry. No matter how low your IQ is, you can guess that it is a curse.

Glancing at Dylan, Ace guessed that he wouldn't talk to Uncle Hua anymore, but he didn't expect that the carefree Dylan could also be petty.

Having no idea, Ace had no choice but to explain himself. Anyway, he basically knew Dylan's situation.

The two chattered together for a long time before Crocus fell silent and shook his head.

"Uncle Hua doesn't know either?"

"It's not that I don't know, it's just that... I'm not sure."

"Oh?" Ace was curious.

Crocus is Roger's ship's doctor. He has been to the final island at the end of the world with him. He is an old and knowledgeable man, but there are things he is not sure about?

"There is a legend that hundreds of years ago... at least 900 years ago, there was a tree... called the Tree of Nokikila." Crocus said slowly.

Ace frowned, at least 900 years ago, wasn't that what happened before the Void Century?

"Noki...Tree of Kira?"

"Well, it has another name, it's called... Devil's Fruit Tree! You, my friend, may have eaten the Devil's Fruit Tree."

"What!!!"

Dylan trembled and almost fell into the water.

"Old man, are you not crazy?"

Dylan was confused. Did he eat a devil fruit tree?

What a joke!

When had he eaten...well, it seemed...could that green palm-sized green seedling be the devil fruit tree?

However, this is a bit nonsense!

Having read so many comics, animations, and information, Dylan knew about the ‘Nokikila Tree’, but that was just a fabrication from the interactive encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are all written by individuals, so I don’t know who is responsible for the prank.

Now that he suddenly heard it, how could Dylan not be shocked?

There is only Devil Fruit in "One Piece", and there is no record of Devil Fruit tree. Although fruits grow on trees,... not all of them grow on trees.

"Uncle, are you sure?" Ace was also confused. Before Kurukas could speak, he started talking to himself again, "But uncle, what legend...why haven't I heard it?"

"Hey." Kurukas smiled and said nothing.

Ace didn't continue to ask. If Uncle Hua didn't tell them, he just wouldn't tell them. No matter how much he questioned, it was useless. But, is it related to what is on the final island?

Crocus raised his head and looked at the blue sky he had painted, and said sadly: "Originally I didn't want to tell you, but now that the Devil Fruit Tree has been born, then... that little friend will know it no matter what."

Dylan continues to be confused, can it be true?

"Uncle Hua, are you kidding me? That green seedling is the devil fruit tree?"

Dylan ignored him just now, and now, Crocus also selectively ignored him, making Dylan gnash his teeth in anger!

There's nothing I can do about this old man.

Ace smiled bitterly, these two were born to be enemies.

As if he was almost angry enough, Crocus turned to look at Dylan enviously: "Little guy, your luck is really heaven-defying."

"Ah, what do you say?"

Dylan stopped jumping and sat down to listen to the old man's story.

To be honest, he is also very worried about his physical condition. Will there be any hidden dangers? Will it explode suddenly?

Also, fruit trees won’t grow out of his body and eat him as nutrients, right?

"A long time ago... or so many years ago, uh... I forgot." Crocus scratched his head and said sternly, "I'm getting older, so my memory is bad."

"Holy shit, old man, are you kidding me?"
