  "Finally!"

  "We're doh training!"

  "Hehe, it's breakfast time…"

  "Big Brother El, please hurry, I'm starving!"

  "Alright, alright. We're not professional chefs, so everyone just be patient. It'll be ready soon!"

  As the sun rose higher, the m training session ended. Everyone was exhausted, sitting around with sweaty faces, drinking the refreshing water that had been prepared. However, the water couldn’t satisfy their hunger, and soon, the kids were clutg their growling stomachs, looking at El with pleading eyes.

  "Hajrudin, you've gotten the hang of your powers over the st few days. You hahe food prep!" El, wiping the sweat from his forehead, sat dooi the enormous Sea King carcass nearby.

  "Got it, leave it to me!" Hajrudin, suddenly full of energy, eagerly stepped forward. Over the past few days, El had given him the ability of the Paramecia-type Dice-Dice Fruit, which made him invulnerable to bdes and allowed him to turn his body into sharp, iructible bdes that could easily cut through anything.

  "Shing! Shing!" With a fsh of light, Hajrudin's hands turned into bdes, which he swiftly swung through the air. In no time, he had cut the massive Sea King into evenly sized pieces.

  "All done, Big Brother El!" Hajrudin's hands returo normal, aood there with a proud smile. He was now far strohan his former self and deeply grateful to El for this new power. He was more determihao follow El.

  "Not bad, but your cutting teique still needs work. Keep training!" El hen raised his hand, curling his fingers.

  "Whoosh... whoosh..." Thick vines sprouted from the ground, grabbing the ly cut pieces of Sea Ki and stringing them together. The internal ans were quickly removed, and the pieeat were thrown inte wooden tubs filled with water for a quick wash, followed by a dip in tubs filled with spices.

  The Sea Ki now gleamed in the sunlight, hung along the shore, ready to be cooked.

  "That’s such a ve perd said, impressed. Of course, her own Soul-Soul Fruit ability was no less impressive. Over the past few days, under El’s guidance, she had beore familiar with her power and marveled at its potential.

  "Hurry up! I'm starving!" Linlin, sitting on a nearby swing, groaned as she clutched her round belly.

  Gerd shook her head with a sigh. "Linlin, you haven't slimmed down at all!"

  Among the group, El and Linlihe ones who ate the most, their appetites seemingly bottomless.

  "Sizzle… sizzle…" Fmes fred from behind El’s head, and a massive fire dragon shot out, enveloping the meat.

  "Zzzz…" Within moments, the meat sizzled as it roasted, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.

  "The meat’s ready..." said El, who had been carefully trolling the heat. As soon as it was done, he withdrew the fmes, then smiled at the group, who had been impatiently waiting, drooling at the smell. "Go ahead a, but be careful, it’s hot!"

  "Awesome!"

  "I want this piece!"

  "That one's mine, no stealing!"

  In no time, the kids from Dream Home were happily dev the roasted Sea Ki, ughing and teasing each other. The enormous Sea King was quickly ed, with most of it going into the stomachs of El and Linlin, both natural-born powerhouses. Gerd and Hajrudin, as growing giants, also ate a siderable amount, eaing as much as all the other kids bined.

  "Ahh, so full..." Gerd, her belly slightly round, sighed tentedly and ran up to El, her eyes twinkling. "El, when are we going to create a Homie?"

  Now that she had a good grasp of her Soul-Soul Fruit ability, she was eager to create the powerful Homie that El had mentioned.

  "Since you’ve mastered your ability, we start anytime..." El raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Let’s do it now."

  Uhe curious eyes of Hajrudin, Linlin, and the other children, El and Gerd walked over to the shore.

  "Whoosh..." El's eyes sharpened as the fmes behind him fred up, releasing an enormous fire dragon that shot forward, engulfing part of the sea in bzing light.

  "Sizzle…" The sea reflected the intense heat, and steam rose as water evaporated from the surface.

  "Now, use your ability to i a soul into the fmes," El said with a smile, pointing at the raging fire. "Turn it into the sun!"

  The Soul-Soul Fruit’s power was unique, and given Gerd's giant bloodline, her Homies would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful. And when she became stronger iure, she could even reabsorb the souls she had pced into her creations, enhang them further.

  “With my soul, I give you life…” Gerd’s face grew serious as a strange light enveloped her. She raised her hands toward the fmes and called out, “e forth as the sun… Prometheus!”

  "Sizzle… crackle..."

  "What’s that?"

  "The fire came to life?"

  "It looks like a demon…"

  Iunned eyes of everyohe bzing fire on the sea transformed, taking the shape of a demonic face.

  "Whoosh..." Then, before their astonished eyes, the fmes densed into a glowing golden "mini-sun," plete with a smiling, childlike face, just like a character from a children's drawing.

  "Master, greetings. I am Prometheus!" The sun-like Homie floated terd, filled with affe for its creator.

  "Hello, Prometheus! We’ll be partners from now on!" Gerd smiled, stroking Prometheus without feeling a, her heart full of joy.

  "Wow! This is the stro Homie you talked about, Big Brother El?" Linlin's eyes sparkled with excitement.

  "Whoosh..." Under everyone’s amazed gazes, Linlin transformed into a swarm of bats, flying terd.

  "Oh? Already capable of this?" El raised an eyebrow, impressed by Linlin’s rapid mastery of her Mythical Zoan-type Vampire Bat form. She could now effortlessly turn into a flock of bats, even in human form, to dodge attacks or unch surprise strikes.

  Over the past few days, after multiple tests and trials, El discovered that Linlin's abilities were far more terrifying than he had imagined. Not only could she drain the youth and life of others, but she could also trol any blood she had touched. She could absorb blood to replenish her strength or heal injuries, boasting an incredible regeion ability. Even if she suffered grievous injuries, as long as she could absorb blood, she ractically immortal.

  "Whoosh..." In an instant, the swarm of bats reformed into Linlin, who rushed over to grab Prometheus, curiously stretg and squeezing it. "Se, it's really alive!"

  "By the way, your name is Prometheus, right? Do you poop?”
