Gladion, she whispered. Her voice was sweet. Soft. It made him feel ill. Have I ever told you as the Qliphoth?

The Qliphoth is a tree. It’s just a little plant, like any other. It starts as a seed. And turns into a sapling. And as it gets its nourishment, it grows and grows, until finally, it becomes big and strong. What’s more, it grows upside down! Isn’t that amazing, Gladion? But that’s not the only thing special about it.

You see, Gladion. The tree needs blood in order to grow. Both human blood and demon blood. And as it becomes watered with blood, all the souls of those who gave it life are merged into a single Devil Fruit.

Isn’t that nice, Gladion? Everyone comes together to make this one tree grow. Everyone becomes that tree. So join us Gladion. Let’s help this tree grow. Let’s leave this wicked and cruel world. And live as a tree.
