Chapter 328 Merry's unique physical structure and the rejected Devil Fruit!
"It's a Logia-type... "

Looking at the Devil Fruit in west Yan's hand, a look of shock appeared in the eyes of the group. Such an ability was not easy to obtain.
"You're incredibly lucky."
Grandma Za, staring at the Devil Fruit in west Yan's hand, said, "She actually managed to get a Logia-type Devil Fruit."
This is something you can't buy even if you have the money, yet Xiyan managed to snatch it... This...
"I guess I was just lucky," west Yan said with a smile.
Grandma nodded, then asked, "Is this for Meili?"
"Merry?"
west Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, this Logia-type Devil Fruit isn't for Merry."
"No?" Grandma asked, somewhat dumbfounded. "Isn't this natural-type food for Meryl?"
This is the Devil Fruit that grants the fastest power-up, and it wasn't given to Merry?
"Well, I have other plans for Merry's Devil Fruit," west Yan said.
"And what about this Devil Fruit?"
"This is for Nami," west Yan said.
"Nami?!"
Hancock keenly caught those two words, then, with tears welling up in her eyes, she grabbed Xiyan's arm and said, "Who...who is she?"
"She is the navigator of our Straw Hat Pirates."
Seeing that Hancock's expression didn't change, west Yan could only helplessly continue to explain, "Not only her, but I also plan to prepare Devil Fruits for my other companions."
"That way we won't need to be afraid of the world government."
As for whether the other party wants to eat it... that's their own choice.
After hearing west Yan's explanation, Hancock relaxed and nodded, saying, "I understand."
She knew what Xiyan had done, and she also knew what the Straw Hat Pirates would face two years later, so it was understandable that Xiyan would do this.
"Yes, you're doing the right thing," Granny Zha said. "Only when you're strong enough will the World Government not dare to cause you trouble."
"That's what I think too," west Yan said with a smile. He knew the World Government would find out he was alive sooner or later, so... he wanted to make his companions as strong as possible before the World Government sent anyone to attack!
Grandma nodded, then said, "You're giving her this ability... is it because it's best suited for a navigator?"
After eating the Cloud Fruit, one can easily sense changes in the clouds, thus gaining a faster understanding of the weather.
"It's not that it's suitable for a navigator, it's that it's suitable for her," west Yan said.
Why do you say that?
"Because she fights using the weather," west Yan explained.
After speaking, west Yan explained Nami's fighting style to the group, making them understand why he made such a decision. "In that case, she is indeed the most suitable for this ability," Granny Za said.
It must be said that west Yan made the right choice.
This Devil Fruit will definitely be able to unleash even greater power in the hands of the other party!
Just then, west Yan noticed the unusual behavior of Mei Li in Grandma's arms.
"Um?"
Seeing that Mei Li's face had turned somewhat pale, west Yan asked, "Mei Li, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Granny Za immediately looked down at her arms and then frowned.
What's wrong with this little girl?
"I don't know why, but I instinctively hate this thing," Melly said, frowning slightly.
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. What did her instinctive disgust mean?
Xi Yan glanced at the Devil Fruit in his hand, then looked at Mei Li and asked, "Are you talking about this Devil Fruit?"
As they spoke, west Yan even offered the Devil Fruit to Mei Li, which made Mei Li's discomfort even more pronounced.
west Yan:
Wait, what does it mean to hate Devil Fruits?
"I really hate this Devil Fruit," Mary said, snuggling closer to Granny Zha. "So don't send any more of them to me."
Looking at Mei Li's expression, west Yan's eyes immediately showed confusion. He didn't understand why Mei Li would react this way.
However, since Meryl had said so, west Yan stopped sending the Devil Fruit to Meryl and put it back in the box.
"Merry, why are you reacting like this?" Grandma asked, puzzled.
After hearing this, Mei Li thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't explain it either."
It was a feeling that came from the depths of her heart, but if she were forced to explain it, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"So, you're rejecting Devil Fruits?" west Yan said.
Mei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "More or less."
"Is that so...?"

Listening to Mei Li's words, west Yan fell into deep thought.
Just then, Santasonia seemed to have thought of something and said, "Could it be because Merry ate a Devil Fruit?"
"Devil Fruit?"
Mary paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I've never eaten a Devil Fruit."
She was certain of that.
"Why would you ask that?" west Yan asked疑惑地, "Could it be that people who have eaten Devil Fruits instinctively hate them?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Santasonia's words, west Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so?"
Do Devil Fruit users instinctively hate Devil Fruits?
Is this reasonable?
"Yes," Santasonia nodded. "Isn't there a saying that goes like this on the high seas?"
"Anyone who dares to greedily eat two Devil Fruits will be killed by the Devil within those two fruits!"
"so.:
"So you suspect that this is why Meryl rejects Devil Fruits?" west Yan said.
"Yes!"
Listening to Santasonia's words, west Yan fell into deep thought.
Then, west Yan glanced at Hancock, who was once again displaying a lovesick expression, and wondered if this legend was a bit unreliable.
Hancock doesn't seem to dislike Devil Fruits at all.
At this moment, Grandma Za showed a helpless expression, wondering what was going on.
Then, Grandma Za said:
"Eating two Devil Fruits at the same time will indeed cause the body to explode, but it will not make the user hate Devil Fruits."
If Charlotte Linlin truly hated Devil Fruits, she wouldn't have tried to steal one in the first place.
"You don't know?"
"What, do you have a dislike for Devil Fruits?" Granny asked in return.
Forehead.
'
Santasonia hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."
She was standing quite a distance from the Devil Fruit, so she wasn't sure if she would have that feeling.
Then, Santasonia went to the table, picked up the Devil Fruit, and looked at it.
"It seems... I don't feel anything at all..."
That solves it.
Seeing Santasonia's somewhat embarrassed expression, Grandma rolled her eyes.
"What's wrong with Mei Li?" west Yan asked.
"How am I supposed to know that?" Grandma said helplessly.
Right now, all they can confirm is that Merry is not a Devil Fruit user; they can't see anything else wrong with her.
"Is it possible that Mary instinctively resists the Devil Fruit because she doesn't want to be unable to swim?" Marigold speculated.
"That's possible..."
west Yan thought for a moment, then looked at Mei Li and said, "Mei Li, is that why you hate Devil Fruits?"
"Um...

Little Meryl frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's not because of that."
Could you describe it in more detail?
"Describe it for me."
Mary thought for a moment, then said, "It's like... my body is resisting the Devil Fruit."
These words left everyone present completely bewildered.
Would someone who has never eaten a Devil Fruit have a body that resists it?
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
Just then, an amazing idea popped into west Yan's mind.
Then, west Yan said, "I think I know what happened!"
"Oh?"
Tell me about it!
Upon hearing this, west Yan did not immediately express his thoughts, but instead first organized his thoughts.
Then he said, "You all know that Devil Fruit users are afraid of seawater, right?"
"Of course I know."
Everyone on this vast ocean knows that ability users are afraid of seawater!
"So here's the question: why are Devil Fruit users afraid of seawater?" west Yan asked.
"???"
west Yan's question completely baffled everyone present.
What does it mean for a Devil Fruit user to be afraid of seawater?
Isn't this just common sense?
Seeing their reactions, west Yan understood what they were thinking.
"A Devil Fruit user wouldn't be afraid of seawater for no reason," west Yan explained. "There must be some special reason behind it."
"So I made a bold guess..."
At this point, west Yan paused for a moment, then said with a burning gaze, "I believe that there exists some substance in the ocean that can suppress Devil Fruit users!"
"It is precisely because of the existence of this special substance that the ability users have become landlubbers who cannot swim in the ocean."
"Special substance..."
.
Hearing west Yan's words, Granny Zha pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Are you talking about Seastone?"
Seastone is a crystallized substance from the sea, a terrifying mineral that can cause ability users to lose their superpowers!
This thing must be the special substance that west Yan was talking about!
"Hai Lou Shi Yao..."
west Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe."
"But no matter what, there should be that special substance in the sea and sea stone, which is why these two things can suppress ability users."
After hearing this, the group thought about it for a moment, then nodded and accepted the explanation.
"What does this have to do with Mary?" Marigold asked, puzzled.
Meili also looked at Xiyan with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what Xiyan meant either.
"Of course it's related," west Yan said. "Have you forgotten Mei Li's identity?"
Upon hearing this, Marigold replied without hesitation, "I haven't forgotten! Mary is a ship spirit!"
These are legendary ship spirits, how could they possibly forget them?
Just then, Grandma said, "Wait... I think I know what you're going to say."
"what?"
"Did Grandma understand?" Santasonia asked, looking at her mother-in-law in shock.
While they were still wondering what west Yan's words had to do with Mei Li, how come their mother-in-law already understood what west Yan meant?
As expected, experience truly matters!
Grandma ignored Santasonia's reaction and looked at Xiyan, saying, "Are you trying to say that Melie is a ship spirit born from the sea, so her body also contains that special substance?"
"Yes, that's what I think too." west Yan nodded without hesitation. "That's probably why she hates Devil Fruits."
It is precisely because of that special substance in their bodies that they instinctively resist Devil Fruits and refuse to become ability users!
"That doesn't make sense either." Santasonia looked at Meryl with a puzzled expression and said, "I held Meryl in my arms and didn't feel any weakness. If there really was such a thing in Meryl's body, it should have made her weak."
west Yan pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Perhaps... it's because this thing is hidden inside Mei Li's body, so it can't touch you."
Just like Seastone, if it's placed in a box, it won't affect the Devil Fruit user's life.
Then, west Yan continued, "Of course, it's also possible that you're overthinking it."
"No, you probably didn't think too much about it."
Grandma Za said, "Although this conjecture is a bit bold, it is indeed the explanation that best fits the current situation."
Besides that, she couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"So, Mary can't eat Devil Fruits, right?" Marigold said.
"More or less," west Yan said.
"You can't eat Devil Fruits..." Grandma rubbed her temples and said, "That's a bit of a headache."
If Merry can't eat a Devil Fruit, she won't be able to get stronger quickly. How will she cope with what might happen two years from now?
The World Government isn't one to be trifled with.
"It's okay if I don't eat a Devil Fruit," Merry shook her head and said, "I can become stronger in other ways too."
Hearing Mei Li's words, Grandma Za showed a hesitant expression.
However, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say what she was about to say, because... that might hurt Mary's feelings.
"Are you sure you can't eat it?" Santasonia said. "This is a shortcut to becoming stronger."
If she could eat a Devil Fruit, even if Merry was very young, she would gain great fighting power.
Meryl didn't answer immediately, but stared at the Devil Fruit for a while.
After a moment, she said, "No!"
"My instincts tell me I might die from eating this!"
After saying that, Meili seemed to realize something and immediately froze.
This is.
As she carefully felt the weakness in her body, Mei fell into deep thought.
"Then forget it."
Santasonia, who didn't see the problem with Melie, shook her head and said, "Don't eat it if it will kill you."
She didn't want anything to happen to the little guy, so she decided against it.
"It's okay, we can protect you too," west Yan comforted her.
Although this little guy can't become stronger by eating a Devil Fruit, the few of them can still protect him.
Isn't that right!
Hearing west Yan's words, Mei Li snapped out of her daze, then smiled and said, "Although I can't eat a Devil Fruit, I can become stronger in other ways!"
Relying on the power within her body, she might very well become a strong person!
