Three Logia Fruits?!!
Sentomaru strode forward, grabbed the Stone-Stone Fruit, a carefree smile on his face, and his voice boomed like thunder throughout the entire area:
"Haha! This fruit... is perfect for me!"
He suddenly raised the fruit, pointed to the horizon where the sea met the sky, and grinned wildly:
"If anyone dares to attack the Science Unit's base again, I'll take control of the entire island... and smash them into mincemeat!!"
The audience erupted in laughter and cheers; Sentomaru's bold words had the soldiers' blood pumping!
Roy stood at the front of the stage and nodded slightly. "You made the right choice. The Stone-Stone Fruit is not only a source of power for you, but also a means of defense."
"In the later stages of development, your perception will cover the entire land, leaving enemies nowhere to hide."
"As long as you stand on the ground, you can control the entire island..."
With the help of Vegapunk's technology, you will become the true 'Lord of the Island'.
Sentomaru's eyes lit up, and he excitedly pounded his chest. "Great! This is the power I've been wanting!"
Having said that, he took a big bite out of the Stone-Stone Fruit without hesitation.
"Ugh--! Ughhh--!"
His face contorted instantly, his tongue lolled out, his eyes nearly rolled back, and he trembled violently as if he had been exposed to poison gas!
"This... this smell... it's like a rotten sock that's been soaking for ten years... Aaaaah!!"
The entire audience erupted in laughter!
"Haha! Sentomaru's expression is priceless!"
"Devil Fruits really live up to their reputation... They're so awful they'll make your soul leave your body!"
Even Sakazuki on the referee's bench twitched at the corner of his mouth, as if recalling the nightmare of his first taste of the Magma-Magma Fruit decades ago.
Sentomaru suppressed his nausea, swallowed the fruit, and leaped to the center of the plaza!
"Boom!!"
He stomped his feet heavily on the ground, spread his arms, and unleashed the power of Armament Haki and the Stone-Stone Fruit simultaneously—
"Boom--!"
The ground of the entire Deserted Island suddenly trembled, as if the earth had been lifted up by an invisible hand. Countless rocks surged and climbed up Sentomaru's legs, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered around him to form a rock giant tens of meters tall!
"Shuashua--!"
The giant was covered in thick rock armor, his arms were as thick as mountains, and the emblem of Sentomaru was engraved on his chest. He looked down over the entire island, his aura like that of an ancient earth god awakening.
Sentomaru's voice boomed from the giant's chest. "How about it?! My -- 'Stone God Soldier'!!"
The naval soldiers in the stands were dumbfounded!
"This... this is way too much!!"
"Do all the rocks on the island obey his commands?!"
"Devil Fruit... it can actually boost power to this level in such a short time?!"
The Momonga gripped its katana tightly, its eyes gleaming with undisguised longing. "The power of Devil Fruit... it's truly alluring."
Onigumo's eight swords trembled slightly at his waist as he murmured, "If I could obtain one... to what extent would my swordsmanship evolve...?"
Smoker, Cigar dangling from his lips, coldly exhaled a puff of white smoke. "Hmph! I could do that too."
Sentomaru controlled the Titan, causing it to slowly bend over, the friction of the boulder producing a Thunderclap roar, "Roy! Watch closely!!"
He suddenly controlled the giant and slammed his fist into the distant cliff—
"Boom--! Rumble--!"
The cliff collapsed instantly, sending hundreds of tons of boulders tumbling into the sea and creating towering waves!
Immediately afterwards, the giant plunged his hands into the ground and suddenly lifted up a massive slab of rock over fifty meters in diameter, which stood in front of him like a shield, so thick that even light could hardly penetrate it!
"Defense! Attack! Reconnaissance! All integrated!!"
Sentomaru's voice, like a war drum, shook the entire island, accompanied by his unique, hearty laughter. "Haha!! From now on, the Science Unit's base... will be an impregnable fortress!"
Roy looked up at the "Stone God Soldier," a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:
"Not bad, to achieve this size right after consuming it shows that the limits of a Devil Fruit's power are also related to the user's strength..."
"If fully developed, it will enter the Awakening stage..."
"You will be able to directly assimilate the entire island, and even change the terrain."
Sentomaru slammed his fists into his chest, creating a deafening roar, "By then—"
"I am the god of the island!!"
His voice echoed over the Deserted Island, startling even the seagulls into scattering and flying away.
As Sentomaru completed his stunning demonstration of the Stone-Stone Fruit, the enthusiasm of the audience did not subside; instead, it reached its peak.
All the naval soldiers in the stands were breathing heavily, their eyes fixed on the center of the podium, waiting for the announcement of the grand prize.
Roy slowly turned to face Gion, who stood silently on the platform. His voice carried an invisible pressure that seemed to shake the soul.
"Gion, the prize for first place--"
"Logia, choose one of the three!"
"Boom--!"
A deathly silence fell over the entire area, followed by an unprecedented gasp that shook the island slightly.
Three... Logia?!
"Didn't they say there were only two?! Where did Vice Admiral Roy get them from?!"
"This... this is a chance that could directly produce a future Admiral!"
The expressions of the high-ranking officials on the referee's bench also changed drastically.
Sengoku's body trembled, his pupils contracted to their maximum, Zephyr's fists clenched silently, and Garp's smile vanished completely, his expression turning serious.
Ignoring the shock from the outside world, Roy simply waved his hand, and three fruits exuding terrifying auras slowly floated in the air, emitting different elemental fluctuations:
The first one - Swamp-Swamp Fruit
Its entire body is dark brown, with mud-like ripples slowly moving on its surface, as if it were a bottomless abyss.
Roy's voice was steady:
Ability: The body transforms into a bottomless Swamp, capable of devouring anything it touches, with no upper limit on storage capacity;
It can alter the surrounding environment, turning large areas into deadly Swamps.
Disadvantage: Cannot fly.
The second one - Snow-Snow Fruit
The glistening white fruit peel exuded a chill, and the surrounding air instantly condensed into snowflakes, which then drifted down gently.
Roy continued:
"Ability: Can transform into snow, control blizzards and ice mist domains, is immune to non- Haki attacks, and can freely traverse snowfields."
"Although it is a lower form of the Logia 'Ice-Ice Fruit,' its potential is limitless; if developed to its limit, it could even rival Kuzan himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Kuzan, and even the Ice Admiral himself showed a rare solemn expression.
The third one is the Gas-Gas Fruit (also known as the Gas Fruit).
The translucent, light green peel seemed to churn with poisonous mist and flames, exuding a dangerous aura.
Roy's gaze sharpened:
Ability: Can transform into gaseous mist, releasing deadly poisonous fog and suffocating enemies by drawing out oxygen;
It can purify and compress the gas around its body, manipulate the air within a certain range, ignite gases to cause explosions, purify the atmosphere to suppress enemies, and even fly.
"It possesses both lethality and strategic value, making it extremely valuable!"
At this point, Roy's gaze slowly swept across the entire area, finally settling on Gion. His voice boomed like thunder, reverberating throughout the Deserted Island:
Choose!
A heavy silence fell over the entire venue. All the sailors held their breath, as if they could hear the waves of the New World crashing in at any moment.
