The Perfect Devil Fruit!
Rosinante's final answer left those who cared about him feeling helpless. Vidal told his father to take the somewhat heavy-hearted child home first, and then called out to Zephyr at the gate of the Justice Fortress.
"Professor Zephyr, I have some thoughts about Rosinante."
Equally annoyed, Zephyr immediately turned around upon hearing this, "Tell me!"
Seeing his concerned expression, Vidal thought to himself that he was truly a good teacher; he could rest assured leaving the two children in his care.
"My idea is that since Rosinante has agreed to return to Doflamingo's side after he comes of age, we should make sure Rosinante has formidable strength before that happens."
"In this way, even if something unexpected happens in the future and he is discovered by Doflamingo and his crew, he will have enough strength to protect himself, or even defeat Doflamingo directly!"
That was Vidal's idea: as long as Rosinante was stronger Doflamingo, wouldn't that be enough?
Try it and you'll die! Take action and you're finished!
"This..." Zephyr paused for a moment, then smiled with relief, feeling much lighter.
Yes, I've let my concern cloud my judgment. As long as he trains Rosinante to be strong enough, isn't that enough?
By pooling all their resources, along with those of the Navy and this kid, Rosinante could be made comparable to Marine Admiral. While becoming a Pirate Emperor seems unlikely, surpassing Doflamingo, who is only three years older Rosinante, seems quite plausible.
Vidal shared the same thought as Zephyr: look at Doflamingo's upbringing—it was just four guys: Trebol, Pica, Diamante, and Vergo, plus a String-String Fruit?
Of course, Doflamingo's own kingly qualities are the most important.
However, compared to the former, Rosinante is far superior in every other aspect except for his own talent.
"I can't teach him any naval-style martial arts or the Six Powers; that's a real problem." Zephyr frowned, deep in thought.
"Then we'll strengthen Rosinante's Haki, marksmanship, weaponry, and physical skills, mainly training his stamina and combat experience. Finally, we'll give him a suitable Devil Fruit, and I'll guide him in developing it!" The more Vidal spoke, the smoother his mind became.
"Devil Fruit."
Zephyr frowned habitually upon hearing this. He disliked his students relying on Devil Fruit abilities, but he had to admit that Vidal's opinion was correct.
After all, Devil Fruits, when used properly, can unleash astonishing combat power, making them an excellent choice for enhancing Rosinante's strength.
For Vidal, who was well aware of Doflamingo's future strength and methods, he believed that Haki and Devil Fruits were Rosinante's main strengths in fighting against the former.
There's no need to worry about Admiral Zephyr, who's known for his Black Arm in terms of Haki. But he needs to think carefully about this Devil Fruit!
What Devil Fruit could perfectly match Rosinante's gunslinger attributes and also counter the String-String Fruit's abilities?
He returned home with this question in his mind, only to find that the living room was empty except for the manatee sleeping on the sofa.
A quick scan with Observation Haki revealed that Rosinante and Enel had returned to their room. Since they were both young, they were sharing a room.
"Hey, what's Bullet doing in my room?"
Vidal, looking curious, went upstairs, pushed open the door, and asked his eldest son, who was standing by the window, "What are you doing here, kid?"
"I wanted to ask what happened just now, why Rosinante was so downcast after returning, and also what kind of Devil Fruit power you're planning to give Enel," Bullet said, getting straight to the point.
"You can't know about Rosinante for now, and don't ask. This is a gag order personally given by Teacher Sengoku. You should have learned about confidentiality rules in school." Vidal casually sat down in a chair.
This involved confidentiality conditions. Bullet found this even stranger, but seeing Vidal's expression, he couldn't get any information out of him. He then asked again, "What about Enel's Devil Fruit?"
"When did I say I was going to give Enel Devil Fruit?" Vidal joked.
"You told him before that you'd give him a gift when he graduated from elementary school, and it wasn't a weapon, so what else could it be besides Devil Fruit?"
"Alright, it really is Devil Fruit."
Vidal didn't bother to ask him about the logic behind his statement. How could it be Devil Fruit just because it's not a weapon?
"As for its ability, it's definitely a top-tier Devil Fruit!"
"A top-tier Devil Fruit?" Bullet looked at the confident Vidal with a skeptical expression, and the image of Kuzan immediately flashed into his mind.
"It's Logia!"
Unfortunately, aside from Bondi Byrnndi World's More-More Fruit, he had never actually seen any other top-tier Logia Fruit users. On the contrary, the Devil Fruit abilities of Vidal, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, whom he had met in succession, left the deepest impression on him.
As for Issho's Heavy-Heavy Fruits, since Issho didn't focus on developing the fruit at that time, the effects didn't give Bullet a very strong feeling.
It can fly, which is very convenient.
But Yixiao's swordsmanship opened his eyes; he had no idea that a swordsman could be so powerful!
"Hey, you guessed pretty accurately. That's right, it's Logia, and a top-tier Logia at that. Not only is it on par with Kuzan and Sakazuki, but I even think it's stronger."
Vidal no longer cares about revealing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, since it's already been placed in an absolutely safe place.
"Can I hear it?" Bullet asked curiously. Yesterday's battle with Kuzan had given him a profound understanding of what cold truly meant.
The feeling of your blood and muscles gradually being frozen by the low temperature is truly unbearable, especially since you have no way to resist it.
"Yes, the fruit is called the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It's Devil Fruit that grants the user a thunderous sound, Inazuma speed, and the paralyzing and high-temperature properties of lightning!"
Although he didn't eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit himself, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power still excites Vidal just by mentioning it.
"It can make Enel unleash thunder comparable to your Sonic Boom, make his lightning and speed rival Borsalino's Flash, make his destructive power on par with Sakazuki's magma, and make his crowd control no less than Kuzan's Ice-Ice Fruit!"
Hearing this, Bullet doubted whether such a perfect Devil Fruit truly existed. However, if it were, it would indeed be worthy of Enel.
"Then it's there?"
"It's in my hands, and it's not convenient to take it out right now." Vidal chuckled softly, but his expression immediately turned serious. "But have you considered the pressure that Enel and we might face once he possesses such a perfect Devil Fruit ability?"
Bullet thought about it carefully. What kind of pressure could it be? From the Navy, or something else? For some reason, he suddenly thought of the South Jialuzibao Kingdom.
It's the government!
His childhood experiences instilled in him a natural distrust of government agencies.
What if the World Government wants to follow Enel? After all, he was only twelve years old when he graduated from elementary school.
"Actually, I did think about giving it to Enel when he comes of age, but I was worried that it might be too late." Vidal stood up and walked over to Bullet, patting the broad shoulder that was now as tall as him.
"But since we've already promised him we'd give it to him after graduation, then let's give it to him. However, you and I need to work hard to become stronger, strong enough to protect Enel!"
"I see."
