"Why do you say that?" Gregory was confused. "Is it poisonous if we eat it now?"

Lord Voodoo shook his head. "It has nothing to do with poison! When we eat the fruit, the energy contained inside it will clash with our energy. Therefore, after eating the fruit, there will be a period when we'll lose all of our power and won't be able to fight at all. Don't forget that we're still in Eastcliff territory. It's already dangerous enough for us to even be here. Things would only become even more perilous for us if we became powerless too."

Gregory and Macon both nodded in realization.
