"Eating spinach can turn you into a strongman."
Mandy's face showed a rare look of distress. Just as she was about to find an excuse to slip away, Kerr grabbed her and held her down.
Mandy glanced at Kerr, her eyes clearly conveying, "Shouldn't we be on the same side?"
Kella smiled sweetly at her:
“Sister Mandy, what His Highness said is true.”
Mandy remained silent, thinking to herself:
"Don't think I don't know you used an ability card!"
"But this little girl is really strong."
Just as Mandy was reluctantly eating her spinach, a hand suddenly grew out of Blake's table and replaced his wine with juice.
Blake looked over and saw Robin swirling his wine glass:
"Drinking alcohol will damage your few remaining brain cells."
"Do you want me to help you...?"
Before Blake could finish speaking, he discovered that his dessert had been replaced with bitter melon pie.
He immediately spotted the fleeting pink hair behind Scarlett and grabbed it.
Just as Perona was about to exclaim in surprise, the bitter melon pie was shoved into her mouth.
“Water, water, water!”
Perona ran to the side with a contorted expression, picked up a cup, and started chugging water.
Rami is helping Stella distribute the tins to everyone.
Amatsuki mechanically ate the food on his plate, only a fleeting glint of light flashing in his eyes when he saw Hiyori's smile with cream on her lips.
Chapter 90 Whether you're handsome or not lasts a lifetime
Life back in Mary Geoise began to become mundane.
Time here passes both quickly and slowly.
The lives of all the Celestial Dragons are leisurely and unhurried, without a trace of urgency.
And time usually slips away unnoticed.
Soon it came to the year 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Over several months, Blake defeated the three remaining strong players in the card space.
The middle-aged Red Earl revealed his exceptional swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship may not be his strongest ability, but it is definitely his coolest ability.
Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime.
The Red Earl's weapon is an umbrella, and his swordsmanship emphasizes elegance, which Blake felt perfectly suited his temperament.
His battles are always fought with wide-ranging, sweeping attacks, which is really inconsistent with his noble status as a Celestial Dragon.
As expected, the elderly Akainu unleashed the Magma-Magma Fruit.
It must be said that the navy, with its complete logistical support, is different from pirates, and its peak period is significantly longer.
Once a pirate gets old, no matter how strong he was in his youth, his fighting ability will be greatly reduced.
The Akainu in the card space looks to be at least seventy years old, and his strength has not declined much.
If you let him fight a 70-year-old Whitebeard, Akainu would probably win.
However, Black currently does not have a maid who is suitable to use the Magma-Magma Fruit.
It's important to know that Akainu was originally a great swordsman.
In order to fully unleash the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit, he switched to physical techniques.
The Magma-Magma Fruit may be the Logia-type Devil Fruit with the strongest single-target burst attack, and it is indeed more suitable for those who excel in physical combat.
Especially those martial arts masters whose moves are wide and sweeping.
The only person around Blake who could be considered a master of physical combat was Kella.
However, she is already a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, and her physical skills are more agile and graceful, which is completely opposite to the style of being wide and powerful.
Therefore, the Magma Fruit ability card should be kept in hand for the time being.
The young Golden Lion did not unleash the Float-Float Fruit that Black desired most; instead, he used his Conqueror's Haki.
The Golden Lion's Conqueror's Haki is very distinctive.
Even those who have never seen Shiki or experienced his Conqueror's Haki can immediately recognize it as Shiki's Conqueror's Haki the first time they feel it.
Of course, this peculiar effect disappeared after Black incorporated it into his Conqueror's Haki.
In addition, during the gacha pulls over the past few months, Black also pulled a young Kuzan.
After defeating him, Black finally possessed all three Admirals' Logia-type Devil Fruits.
The Ice-Ice Fruit and Mandy's temperament are a perfect match, as if it was tailor-made for her.
In reality, the ability of ice itself does not deal much damage; it is more about control effects and the attribute damage that comes with attacks.
Looking at the ice-using abilities of various works, their use of ice can be basically divided into three forms.
The first category is pure magic attacks, namely ice mages, and this type is the most numerous.
In addition to ranged icy attacks, the second type will use freezing abilities to add extra damage or control effects to physical attacks, swordsmanship, and archery.
The third category is somewhat incongruous.
They will use their ice powers to create weapons to fight.
Aside from being convenient, it's not much different from fighting with a real sword.
Black used the Ice-Ice Fruit ability card on Mandy and provided her with some development directions.
Black hopes that Mandy can develop her abilities in the direction of Toshiro Hitsugaya and Esdeath.
Esdeath, in particular, largely compensates for the weakness of insufficient damage from ice-type abilities with her physical and sword skills.
The ability to freeze is incorporated into sword attacks to create effects such as interference, control, and terrain creation.
Moreover, if the Ice-Ice Fruit is developed to the point of awakening, or even a higher level, it might be able to freeze time and space like those two.
Although the possibility is slim, it's still something to look forward to.
On this day, Blake was playing with Perona and others at the manor as usual when a slave from the Roswald household delivered another invitation.
Blake opened it and saw it was still a party invitation, leaving him speechless.
"It's been a year already, hasn't this guy had enough of showing off yet?"
However, Blake plans to go there this time.
Because Roswald stated in the invitation that the entertainment at this banquet would include extremely rare and special slaves.
The twilight in Mary Geoise draped the Celestial Dragons' manor in an amber veil.
Roswald's skirt brushed against the crystal glass.
In just one year, she seems to have fully adapted to her current identity.
At least I won't be unable to walk because of high heels anymore.
Inside the banquet hall, the light reflected from the diamond earrings danced across the gilded walls.
When Blake entered the banquet hall, all the guests for the dinner had already arrived.
When Roswald saw Black, he acted as if he were seeing a long-lost relative, quickly stepping forward and introducing him to the others in an exaggerated tone:
“My best friend—Hilbert Black Saint.”
"If he hadn't recommended Xihai to me, I might never have been able to experience what it's like to be a woman."
She then turned to look at Blake:
“Blake Saint, you’ve finally agreed to attend my banquet.”
"I thought you were tired of these social occasions."
Black was only offering a perfunctory answer this time because he was only interested in the quality slaves Roswald had mentioned:
"Going out to sea is really tiring, I've been resting lately."
“Black Saint, you’re being a bit too harsh.”
Grossis of the Shepard family, standing to the side, swirled his wine glass and said casually:
"Roswald is the most prominent new star in Mary Geoise today."
TA? Newcomer?
Good, good, the Celestial Dragons' brains are definitely not normal.
Just as the Celestial Dragons were about to step forward and ask Black for guidance on how to turn them into women as well, a sour remark suddenly rang out:
"I think she just changed to a more exaggerated performance style."
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was Clauris, Roswald's former wife and now sister.
Upon hearing this, Roswald's smile didn't fade; instead, it became even brighter.
"Extravagant? No! This is called transformation."
She spun around and almost tripped:
"After all, not everyone can handle two identities as perfectly as I can."
Clauris gently stroked the gemstone necklace around his neck and smiled:
"Roswald, your confidence is admirable."
"Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous the dress is, it can't hide your true nature."
Roswald slowly picked up his glass and took a small sip:
"Clauris Palace, jealousy is not in keeping with the elegance of the nobility."
"Alright, Roswald."
Blake wasn't interested in their family story and interrupted directly:
"Roswald, where's the surprise you promised?"
Roswald looked at Blake with some surprise:
"So, Black Saint was really looking forward to it?"
"In this case……"
She called out loudly:
"Bring them up here!"
A cage was carried into the banquet hall, inside which were three trembling girls.
Blake's eyes lit up the moment he saw them.
Rozward's voice then rang out:
"These are the prizes I prepared for this banquet: rare slaves from Amazon Lily!"
Chapter 91 You still dare to curse me?
The iron cage was placed on the ground, and Marigold stumbled. Hancock immediately reached out to support her and pulled her two younger sisters behind her.
Blake carefully examined the three girls in the iron cage.
That's right, it's the Boa sisters.
Hancock is only twelve years old now, but she already shows glimpses of what the future holds.
To Blake’s surprise, Sandasonia was almost identical to the character in the original work, with a head proportion comparable to Ivankov and even rivaling Vegapunk.
