## Chapter 603: Esdeath's Devil Fruit!
Her hazy line of sight gradually brightened from the darkness. She could feel the light was very gentle until she clearly saw the pure white ceiling and the Crystal Chandelier above.
Esdeath looked at the golden-red quilt covering her body with a complex expression.
She could clearly feel the pain from her lower body, and at the same time, the Screen Feeds and memories from yesterday gradually surfaced in her mind.
She had finally agreed to become Im's Woman.
Because she understood very well that she had no choice, and after thinking about it rationally, Im's Strength, Identity, appearance, and temperament were all perfectly worthy of her.
Or rather, she should think about whether she was worthy of him.
This was incredible.
Who would have thought that the incredibly arrogant Esdeath would actually have such an inferiority complex?
Ever since she was easily defeated by Aokiji, she had been in a state of constant shock, gradually becoming numb. Her so-called confidence and pride had already suffered repeated heavy blows.
If not for her Will being tempered to be tough enough through years of Training and Combat, there was a high possibility that she would have undergone a drastic change in temperament and lost her basic Reason.
As for the conversation with Im yesterday, overall, Esdeath was satisfied.
Because Im did not object to her request to participate in the War, he just gave her a requirement that seemed quite difficult: she had to defeat an Admiral before being allowed to go out and fight.
According to Im's original words: "If you're so weak you can't even beat an Admiral, don't go out and embarrass yourself!"
It was this sentence that Esdeath still remembered vividly.
Fortunately, Im promised to help her improve her Strength in all aspects, such as Haki, Swordsmanship, Martial Arts, and Tennis. He could personally provide Guidance.
As for other Resources, as the Heavenly Empress, she naturally had the right to enjoy them first.
So Esdeath calmly gave everything she had and accepted everything Im bestowed upon her. It was just that the process of the 'exchange' last night was a bit too difficult.
She didn't expect Im's Strength and Speed to be so powerful. With her Strength and Physique, she had unconsciously fainted, and even now her throat was a little hoarse.
"Hoo————"
As Esdeath exhaled a long breath, her snow-white, smooth beautiful legs slid out from the golden-red quilt. Following that, a perfect, fair body glowed softly in the Sunlight streaming through the Glass.
Her sky-blue beautiful hair flowed down her back like a Waterfall from the Milky Way, extending all the way to her thighs.
The entire Screen Feed truly displayed beauty to the extreme.
It was just a pity that no one was there to witness it.
"Good morning, Heavenly Empress Lord."
"Good morning, Heavenly Empress Lord."
Ten minutes later, when Esdeath finished washing up and came out of the luxurious bathroom, she saw two Ubuyashiki Sisters, who were completely indistinguishable from each other, arriving before her with four ordinary Maids holding Platinum-Lead Trays.
"This is the 'Heavenly Phoenix Hundred Birds Remaining Immortal Skirt' that Lord Imu prepared for you. It not only has extremely strong Defense but is also a symbol of the Heavenly Empress."
As Hinaki gently introduced, one of the ordinary Maids stepped forward, presenting the crystal-clear platinum Skirt on the tray for Esdeath to see.
She recognized at a glance that this was the Luxurious Robes Long Dress worn by Empress Historia yesterday, so she didn't think much of it and reached out to take it and put it on.
"Hmm, it's quite comfortable, and it doesn't seem to affect my movements. Not bad!"
Esdeath noticed that the white Skirt was outlined with a complete golden phoenix with spread wings using golden Strings, and the hem of the Skirt had various Birds dancing along.
Moreover, although it looked very gorgeous and dignified, it didn't feel restrictive at all.
This was the part she was most satisfied with.
"This is the 'Rapier-type Nichirin Blade' that Lord Imu prepared for you. Its Blade not only carries the Aura of Sunlight and restrains all Darkness existences, but its temperature will also increase with your Grip Strength until it burns with Flame like the Sun."
Following this, she heard Ubuyashiki Hinaki continue the Explanation.
At the same time, the second ordinary Maid, following her words, stepped forward holding a silver-gleaming Rapier on a white tray.
"Good Blade!!"
Esdeath's eyes lit up. She quickly gripped the sword hilt, pointing the tip upwards. Her pair of azure beautiful eyes admired the cold Blade back and forth, but she was surprised to find blue ice-crack Markings gradually appearing on the Blade.
"Hmm?"
This was actually based on the Manufacturing process of 'Great Grade Sword' as the main body, mixed with a large amount of 'Gorilla Scarlet Iron Ore' and 'Scarlet Ore', giving it stronger Sunlight Characteristic than ordinary Nichirin Blade.
"Nichirin Blade will show different colors and patterns of Markings depending on the wielder's attribute, so it is also called the 'Color-Changing Blade'. Your blade's Marking color is blue, which means you are more suitable for using 'Water Breathing'."
This time, it was Ubuyashiki Nichika, who wore a yellow head ornament, who was Speaking.
"So that's how it is..."
Esdeath felt like she was encountering something new again.
Actually, Im initially wanted to make her a Rapier similar to Brook's 'Soul-Shattering Sword' that could emit Cold Air.
This was no longer a very difficult Matter for the Famous Sword Town on Wano Island, which had gathered excellent Swordsmiths from several Worlds, but after thinking about it, he changed it to a Nichirin Blade.
Because he felt that for Esdeath, even if a Blade had Ice attribute Ability, it would only be making something even better.
But a specially made Nichirin Blade with strengthened Sunlight Energy was different.
High Temperature Flame and Sunlight Energy both counted as adding Means for her to deal with enemies.
"What about this one?"
Esdeath looked at the white Box on the next tray with full curiosity, and then saw Ubuyashiki Hinaki gently open the Box lid with both hands, revealing a Tubular Syringe containing blue liquid.
"This is the 'Perfect Type-II Cell Strengthening Serum' newly developed by the Biochemical Science Academy."
"Compared to 'Perfect Type-I', which can only reach the Total Cell Count level of most Sea Star Person, 'Perfect Type-II' can allow your Total Cell Count to reach the level of Exceptional Talent."
"According to the Explanation provided by the Biochemical Research Institute, although it cannot make your Physique reach the top level of Sea Star Person, it is enough to ensure that you don't have to worry about Potential before reaching Admiral Level Combat Power."
Ubuyashiki Hinaki withdrew her hands and placed them in front of her abdomen, explaining respectfully.
"Then quickly use it on me!"
Esdeath was already tempted after hearing this introduction.
In her opinion, the Value of this Cell Reinforcement Serum was greater than anything else.
This was Potential!
She was once again deeply shocked by the Foundation displayed by the World Government. It turned out that what Enel said to Kuzan before was true, that they had indeed only shown the Tip of the Iceberg.
"Heavenly Empress, please wait. Professional Medical Personnel will conduct a comprehensive examination of your Body first, and then they will inject this Serum for you."
After speaking, Ubuyashiki Hinaki had someone open the white Box on the fourth Platinum-Lead Tray.
The next moment.
A round Fruit, completely snow-white with blue spiral Markings on its surface, resembling a cantaloupe, came into her Line of Sight. The top of this Fruit also had two Ice Crystal branches that looked like tentacles.
"Finally, this is the Animal System Dragon-Dragon Fruit Mythical Zoan Kirin Form Devil Fruit that Lord Imu prepared for you..."
"Devil Fruit?!"
Esdeath's Pupil suddenly narrowed into slits, staring intently at the strange Fruit inside.
Her hazy line of sight gradually brightened from the darkness. She could feel the light was very gentle until she clearly saw the pure white ceiling and the Crystal Chandelier above.
