Chapter 104: Eating the Ice Ice Fruit in a High-End restauran




Two hours later, Allan stretched his back after massaging Hancock.
Hancock was looking coldly at Allan.
Allan smiled and said: “Don’t look at me like that. You enjoyed it too.”
Upon hearing this, Hancock blushed and turned her head with a snort.
She was indeed resistant at first, but later, Allan’s massage techniques improved, and she could only relax.
The proud Empress couldn’t help admit that the feeling was comfortable. She even had some inexplicable thoughts.
However, as a Shichibukai, she had her arrogance and pride.
So even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn’t want to show it.
[Ding! Congratulation for successfully conquering Hancock and completing a hidden Achievement: Charm Master. Reward: Physical strength doubled, Endurance tripled, charm attribute increased by eight folds.]
Allan instantly felt his power increase a lot.
Most of all, he feels like he can do it ten times now.
Immediately, Allen looked at the Empress again.
The Empress was initially staring at Allen, and for some odd reason, she felt her heartthrob as she looked at his eyes.
‘What’s going on? Am I being tempted by him now?’
Hancock felt her heart beat faster and faster, and finally, she blushed and looked down, not daring to look at him directly.
Allan was taken aback by this. He didn’t think that the charm increase would have such drastic results.
“Well, why are you staring at this Empress?” Hancock said in a low voice without her normal arrogance.
Allan smiled: “Nothing, you are so beautiful Hancock, I can’t help but look at you more.”
“Of
 Of course, no one can match this Empress’ Beauty.” Hancock blushed, and her heart was in chaos because she discovered that Allan’s praise made her happy.
“Hancock, let’s go for another massage.”
Hancock didn’t speak, and it looked like she agreed.
But she felt really strange because she obviously wanted to refuse, but the words couldn’t come out of her mouth.
Seeing her reaction, Allan smiled as Hancock wasn’t as arrogant as before to him, and she started to fall.
Five hours later.
Allan took Hancock to a restaurant near the association to enjoy a meal.
It was a high-end restaurant, and people who came here are either rich or nobles.
“Excuse me, sir, do you have a reservation?”
A middle-aged man in a suit asked at the entrance of the restaurant.
Allan frowned and said: “Who are you?”
“My name is Robert. I’m the manager.”
Allan said: “I didn’t have a reservation; can’t I get in?”
Upon hearing this, the manager said: “I’m really sorry, the restaurant regulations state that you need a reservation made at least half a day in advance. I’m sorry, but you can’t enter.
If you don’t mind, you can go to the cafeteria on the first floor.”
Allan frowned. It was troublesome just to eat a meal here.
Although the manager was polite, he is stubborn and will act according to the rules.
‘I won’t be able to buy him with money. After all, being a manager for such a restaurant means that he is well off himself.’
“Manager, is there really no way?” Allan said.
“I’m really sorry, Sir, but I can only abide by the rules. Even if the president of the Hunter Association comes, he needs an appointment in advance to eat here.” Manager Robert explained.
His tone was sincere and humble. That’s why Allan couldn’t get angry at him.
With a sigh, Allan prepared to take Hancock to another place.
However, Hancock stood up and pointed at Robert with her arrogant pose and said: “Insolent man, This Empress is here to eat, you should be honored, but instead you want me to make a reservation?”
As soon as Hancock spoke, she drew Robert’s full attention and made his eyes almost fall off his head.
‘Amazing!! This is the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my life.’ Robert exclaimed in his mind.
There is no shortage of beauties coming to this restaurant, but someone like Hancock was a rarity. No, rarity is an understatement, as Hancock is one of a kind, and no other woman is as beautiful as her.
She was too beautiful to make her leave. Robert came back to his senses and quickly said: “I will arrange a place for the lady, please follow me.”
“Done, let’s go.” Hancock glanced at Allan.
Allan smiled. Even when she’s so willful, she is beautiful.
Just as Allan was about to go with Hancock, Robert said: “Sir, what is your relationship with that lady?”
Allan said: “She’s my fiancĂ©e, why are you asking?”
“What?” Robert was taken aback and couldn’t believe such a thing.
“Is she really your fiancĂ©e?”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you see how good we look together?” Allan said irritably.
Although Allan’s handsomeness wasn’t as high as Hancock’s Beauty, he was still up there.
“Madam, is what he said true?” The middle-aged manager looked at Hancock as he didn’t want to give up.
“What do you mean?”
Hancock glanced at Robert before she went up to Allan and hooked her arm with his, admitting their relationship.
Robert glanced at Allan enviously and said: “Sir, you are so blessed to have such a beautiful fiancĂ©e. I hope you treat her well.”
“It’s not up to you,” Allan said.
Robert smiled embarrassedly, then took Allan and Hancock to the restaurant’s best location and gave them a couple of top-class dishes for free.
Allan didn’t refuse a free meal and enjoyed it with Hancock.
Hancock was silently eating with a bowed head. Allan saw this and directly smiled: “Hancock, I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to grab my hand. Do you like me?” Allan teased.
Hancock immediately blushed hard and explained: “This Empress was hungry and didn’t want to look at another place to eat, so I cooperated with you, don’t get any wrong idea.”
“Yes, Yes, you are the Proud Snake Princess. How could you like someone like me?”
Hancock was already a mess right now.
She initially hated Allan and wanted to kill him, but as she looked at Allan’s smiling face and piercing eyes, she couldn’t hate him.
Moreover, at first, Allan was the epitome of the man she hated from the start, but now, she saw him as a handsome, stalwart, and sweet man.
She felt something special from him when he looks at her, and when he calls her Hancock, she felt electrocuted, and her heartbeats sped up.
“Um, I’m going to the bathroom.”
“Do you want me to accompany you?”
“No, I know how to go.”
Seeing Hancock leaving, Allan smiled. He had absolute control of Hancock and wasn’t afraid of her leaving him, and he also read her thoughts and found out that she almost in love with him.
She was going to the bathroom just to calm herself.
“I think I should eat that now.” Allan suddenly remembered something really important.
Suddenly, a strange fruit appeared in his hand. Allan took out the Ice Ice fruit from the Inventory to eat along with the meal.
He put it on an empty plate, took his knife, and cut it into four pieces.
As long as someone ate one bite of a devil fruit, he will gain that devil fruit’s ability without the need to fully eat the rest.
Allan picked a piece and brought it to his lips before eating it.
He frowned at the taste, which was exactly how it was described. However, to gain the Ice Ice fruit ability, he can tolerate the horrible taste.
At this moment, Hancock came back, and seeing the leftover of the Devil fruit on Allan’s plate, she immediately recognized it.
“Why is there a devil fruit here?” Hancock wondered.
“No, you’re wrong.” Allan lied and felt a little guilty doing so.
He didn’t want to admit that he ‘enjoyed’ a devil fruit alone while his fiancĂ©e went to the bathroom.
“I’m not. That’s a devil fruit.” Hancock said again.
Allan denied: “No, No, it’s not, this isn’t the same world as the one you’re from, so how can there be a devil fruit here? This is just an ordinary fruit.”
Hancock said: “This Empress Already ate the Mero Mero Fruit, so I can tell by the fruit’s appearance. Although each fruit is different, that texture is only present on a devil fruit.”
“This is just an ordinary fruit. If you don’t believe me, you can eat a piece.”
“No, This Empress already ate one, and if I eat another one, I will explode. Also, there is a three-piece, and one is missing, which means you ate one piece of the fruit, and now the rest is just an ordinary bad tasting fruit. Because the devil fruit loses its effect as soon as someone eats even one bite of it.”
Allan was stunned by Hancock’s knowledge of devil fruit.
“Well, it is a devil fruit, and I already ate some of it, so I gained its power.” Allan could only admit it even though he wanted to keep a low profile.
Hancock looked at him fixedly and asked: “I want to know where did you get that devil fruit, and also what kind is it? Logia? Zoan, or Paramecia? And what can it do?”
“Where it came from is a secret that I won’t tell you about now. As for which type it is, you will know it when you see it, but don’t forget to pick your jaw after I show you.”
Under the expectant gaze of Hancock, Allan touched the table with his finger, and instantly, the tabletop was frozen in an instant.
Hancock was really surprised and looked at him in the face: “This is
 The Ice Ice Fruit of Admiral Aokiji? Did you eat that fruit?”
Allan snapped his finger and smiled: “Bingo!! Since your answer is correct, I will reward you in the evening.”
