The blue dragon didn't answer.

It turned its head and looked at the earliest mural, its sapphire blue eyes full of loneliness.

There are many palaces, flying petals, young dragons playing, and soaring sea currents constantly impacting the cloud cliffs. This mural is the magnificent scene of its hometown of Angsaya, the empty island.

"...Hey, big guy."

Nuo Xia suddenly spoke, "What if I could make your tribe stop treating you as an alien and accept you again?"

The giant blue dragon was stunned, turned back suddenly, and looked at Nuo Xia with wide eyes.

"Don't be so surprised yet."

Nuo Xia looked into its eyes, raised his index finger, and whispered:

"To do this, you have to pay a price. First, I will strip the Devil Fruit away from you, which means that you will no longer be able to control Thunder from now on, and your strength will be greatly reduced."

What price is this for such a good thing? The blue dragon's eyes lit up, he nodded desperately without hesitation, and let out a low whimper.

"I see, have you been regretting eating that fruit out of curiosity in the past few months..."

Nuo Xia understood its meaning, shook his head, and raised his second finger:

"If you can accept it, then that's fine. As for the second point, it actually doesn't cost much. I will send all the children back to the tribe later. You must go with me and apologize to the people there in public."

Can you not go... The giant blue dragon scratched its head in distress and begged Nuoxia Mulu. It really didn't have the shame to see those believers now, otherwise it wouldn't secretly do so in the middle of the night every time.

Go into the village and take away the children.

"Of course not."

Nuo Xia was expressionless, "This is the final bottom line. There is no room for negotiation. If you hadn't been more kind than wrong to those villagers, then I might not have taken you with me, but yours."

My head is back in the tribe."

Brain?

The giant blue dragon touched his neck with its chubby claws. He couldn't help but shudder and looked at Nuo Xia in horror - this man is really scary...

"Everything has been said clearly. Since you agree, let's start now."

Nuo Xia slowly pulled out the sword of Azakana, held it tightly in his hand under the blank gaze of the blue dragon, and smiled slightly:

"It might hurt a little, big guy, you have to endure it."

…

"Deprived of Devil Fruit ability detected"

"Type name: Natural type·Thunder Fruit"

"Level Judgment: s"

"Estimated hatching time: 90 days"

"Hatching..."

…

A few minutes later.

Nuo Xia played with the Sword of Azakana, looked at the text in the prompt bar that appeared on it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Finally...

After many twists and turns, I finally got my favorite Thunder Fruit.

No, there are no twists and turns. The honeymoon trip has only started for more than a month. It is already beyond his expectation that he can get the fruits so quickly. At least he doesn't have to go to an empty island and wander around aimlessly and miserable.

search.

"After three months, that is, after returning to the headquarters, we can hatch and unblock it."

Nuo Xia put the sword back into its sheath and felt much more relaxed, "I'm really looking forward to the Thunder Fruit without the devil's curse..."

The giant blue dragon next to him squatted aggrievedly by the wall, with a few more bags on his head - Damn it, just take the fruit, why do you want to beat me up again?

"It's a mechanism problem, there's nothing we can do about it."

Nuo Xia saw what it was thinking, smiled and patted the guy, "By the way, let me remind you, although I took away the devil fruit, the curse is still on you. If you fall into the sea and die in the future, don't

I blame me for not reminding you."

The giant blue dragon rolled his eyes. It was a noble dragon. It didn't know how to... Oh, no, it didn't need to swim in the first place?

Relying on your wings to soar high into the sky, no matter how strong you humans are, you can only be envious and jealous. Can you do it?

"Speaking of which, you are probably the only one among the dragons who tasted the forbidden fruit and was knocked down from the sky."

Nuo Xia held her chin, remembering the allusion to the Garden of Eden, and said with great interest, "You are a male. It is not appropriate to call you big all the time. Why don't we just give you a name, Adam?"

What the hell name?

The giant blue dragon sneered. As a noble dragon, it was born with a name, and it was dozens of bytes long. I'm afraid you won't be able to remember it...

It ignored Nuo Xia, turned its head to the wall, tried to gather its thoughts, opened its mouth and breathed out for a long time, not to mention thunder, not even a trace of arc was produced, but it was too full last night, so it gave a loud blow.

Burp...

OK, it’s gone!

The giant blue dragon was overjoyed and patted his belly happily. Now he was no longer an alien and could go back to his hometown!

——When he turned around again, he saw that Nuo Xia was already striding towards the deepest part of the cave, waving his hands with his back to it:

"Let's go, wake up the children, we should go back to the village."

…………

The trees are lush and green, and the streams are flowing.

In the tribal clearing by the stream, the women hugged their little ones who had returned safely and cried with joy, while the giant blue dragon lay half-lying on the edge of the clearing with its head wilted, looking longingly at Elder Ampoule and talking to Nuo Xia.

When they first entered the village, the entire tribe was in an uproar. Panic and anger swept across them instantly. People rushed out with weapons and surrounded the blue dragon.

Fortunately, it immediately bowed its head and apologized, and Nuo Xia stopped the agitated people in time and explained clearly to Elder Ampoule, letting everyone know the misunderstanding.

Seeing that the children were safe and sound, and that the blue dragon had saved the lives of all men, women, and children in the tribe in the past, no one could blame it anymore, which made the giant blue dragon feel a lot better.

Although I will no longer settle on this desert island in the future, but will return to my hometown Sky Island.

But before leaving, if he can repair the relationship and eliminate people's hostility towards him, it can be regarded as untying the last knot of guilt in his heart.

Speaking of which.

That human named Nosha, except for being a bit violent and beating himself up several times throughout the morning, was otherwise pretty good. He was an out-and-out good person.

The giant blue dragon looked at Nuo Xia's figure, remembering how he had stopped in front of him just now, and felt silly and happy.

I looked up at the distant sky again, my heart full of expectations. Friends from my hometown, I will be back to see you soon...

Boom!

Just after thinking about it for a few seconds, it was kicked hard on the butt. It turned its head away with a grimace. Sure enough, Nuo Xia came to him at some point and said with a smile:

"Everything is done and it's time for me to leave. So let's say goodbye. Adam, see you again if we have the chance."

Goodbye, I don't want to see you again. The blue dragon blew out two hot breaths from its nostrils and turned its head away angrily.

But out of the corner of his eye, he watched Nuo Xia turn and leave, his figure getting further and further away. He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stood up again and let out a low roar.

"Eh?"

After being called, Nuo Xia turned around and looked at him in slight surprise:

"You said you wanted to give me a ride?"

——————-

"Woo-ha-!!!"

Ten thousand meters above the sky, the giant dragon was like blue lightning, soaring between the clouds. From time to time, Nuo Xia's hearty laughter could be heard among the turbulent sea of ​​clouds.

"It's not bad to experience the feeling of a dragon knight once in a while!"

Nuo Xia threw a bunch of grapes into her mouth, smacked her lips, and then stuffed another bunch into the big head under her butt, "It tastes great, come on, you can try it too."

Ouch, the grape was swallowed by the giant dragon in one gulp, and then, an angry roar came from below.

"What do you mean I was fooled again?"

Nuo Xia laughed loudly, "It is indeed a bit sour, but these things cannot be wasted. If you don't finish them, they will go bad. What if you don't divide some of them?"

Behind him, the dragon's back was piled with various tropical fruits and some dried meat specialties, which the natives knelt down to beg him to take away as a sign of gratitude.

In Nuo Xia's eyes, these are naturally not rare things, but after all, they are a piece of his heart.

After refusing a lot that day and failing, he had no choice but to accept part of it, and then with countless admiring eyes, he rode on the dragon's back with a smile, waved goodbye, and flew up into the sky.

So far, two days have passed.

With the joint efforts of him and Xiao Luo, he and Xiao Luo had eaten all kinds of berries with a short shelf life. As for the dried meat, Nuo Xia planned to bring it to the Capital of Seven Waters to use as dry food and share it with his wives.

"The speed is quite fast. We should be able to reach the Capital of Seven Waters in the evening."
