Plant-Type Fruits
Vidal was somewhat disappointed to hear that he couldn't enter the warehouse, as he had been thinking of using his abilities to explore a wider area once inside.
Because Devil Fruits themselves possess the characteristics of fruits, he was originally able to sense their exact locations.
Initially, it was just about location, but after Awakening Observation Haki, he discovered that if he used the sensory abilities of the Forest-Forest Fruit and Observation Haki simultaneously on his Devil Fruit...
Then, not only will the location of the fruit appear in your mind, but also some very vivid dynamic patterns will emerge.
For example, the Sensing Rumble-Rumble Fruit will produce various Inazuma and electric currents, while the Sensing Combine-Combine Fruit will produce various random combinations of cubes, triangles, and spheres.
Although it's not as easy to understand as a written explanation, and you have to guess a bit, it's still much better than knowing nothing at all.
Therefore, as long as he can get into the Devil Fruit warehouse, he should be able to quickly analyze the approximate information of all the Devil Fruits!
Unfortunately, they didn't give me that opportunity here.
However, being able to sense two at a time would be fine, it just takes a long time, Zephyr probably won't be able to stay with them for that long.
And Bullet also needs to rest early. Oh, right, thinking of this, Vidal suddenly put down the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and placed his right hand on Bullet's shoulder.
"I completely forgot to heal you for a moment, please forgive me, Father," Vidal said gently with a smile as he used Photosynthetic Energy to heal and restore him.
Bullet's lips twitched slightly as he silently enjoyed Vidal's concern, but as for "father," he couldn't bring himself to say it!
"Your ability is indeed very useful."
Even Zephyr, who doesn't particularly like Devil Fruit abilities, had to admit that the effects of Photosynthetic Energy were remarkable.
Hearing this, Vidal continued to keep his right hand on his eldest son, since the boy's stamina was extraordinary and it would take him a long time to recover.
But his eyes turned to Zephyr opposite him, and he smiled, "Teacher Zephyr, why don't you try it out too?"
He suddenly remembered that Zephyr seemed to have developed severe asthma. Should he address this potential problem for him in advance?
"I've already tasted your 'Green Bean' and experienced it firsthand." Zephyr waved his hand in refusal, then accepted the Famous Sword illustrations handed to him by the person in charge.
Vidal didn't say anything more about this, because he felt it was better to help those in need than to add to their existing success.
Eliminating the potential risks now, and treating Zephyr's asthma later when it becomes more severe, will yield vastly different results in all aspects.
Bullet's strength had fully recovered by then, and Vidal withdrew his right hand to focus on flipping through the illustrated book with records.
The former casually flipped through the unrecorded illustrations, but they were just pictures without any descriptions, so they just looked at them.
On this side, Vidal discovered that most of the fruits in the encyclopedia were the most common Zoan, not to mention Mythical Zoan, there wasn't a single Ancient Zoan.
He didn't believe there weren't Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits here. Where did Drake's Allosaurus Fruit come from?
It's highly likely that this was done to make it easier for him to infiltrate the pirate ranks, and that he was given an Ancient Zoan Fruit before 'defecting' from the Navy.
However, there are also Paramecia, but they are mostly everyday items like the Cup-Cup Fruit, Lamp-Lamp Fruit, and Paper-Paper Fruit.
It's not that these fruits lack potential; for example, the Paper-Paper Fruit could potentially be developed into a form similar to Paper Release in the ninja world.
But it still didn't suit his taste. Although he didn't know who to give it to, he would still try to choose something better.
[Slap]
Vidal closed the encyclopedia in disappointment. Zephyr, who was looking at the Zephyr of Famous Swords, looked up and asked, "What, didn't you like any of them?"
"Yes, they all look too ordinary. I'd like to try picking some from the fruits that haven't been recorded before, is that alright?"
At this moment, Bullet curiously placed the encyclopedia in his hand on the coffee table, and then picked up the encyclopedia that Vidal had just finished looking at.
"Alright, take your time looking through it. But I can't keep you company any longer. Just let them know when you've made up your mind." Zephyr put down the encyclopedia without ceremony and said, then looked at Bullet, who was looking down at the encyclopedia.
"You're coming with me too. Hurry back to your dorm and get some sleep. Don't let me hear you're late for class tomorrow, or I'll punch you again!"
Bullet glared angrily at her, but after a few seconds he lowered his head unwillingly and obediently followed Zephyr out.
All of this amused Vidal. This brat was already acting like this in front of Zephyr; he wondered how he would react when he met Garp.
However, as one might expect, he was bound to get a good beating first. Smiling, he picked up the unrecorded Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and said to the person in charge.
"You should go back and rest first. I'll let them know if you need anything."
"OK."
Seeing that Admiral Zephyr had left, the person in charge lost interest in staying with Vidal any longer. He said something to the marine next to him, then turned and left.
Vidal withdrew his gaze and opened the first page of the encyclopedia. What caught his eye was a grayish-white, pear-shaped fruit, and the second page showed a brownish-brown, eggplant-shaped fruit.
Of course, each one had various strange black lines and patterns on it, but he couldn't describe the specific patterns.
Moreover, judging from the thickness of the encyclopedia, it is significantly thicker than the one previously recorded, indicating that there are indeed far more unknown Devil Fruits than known ones.
This is precisely the allure of Devil Fruits.
Normally, it's difficult to guess the specific abilities just by looking at the illustrations, but Vidal had come into contact with quite a few Devil Fruits before, and with the help of some Devil Fruit illustrations published in his previous life, he was able to figure out some patterns.
First, if the shape clearly resembles some kind of fruit, then it's highly likely to be Zoan. Second, the shapes of Paramecia creatures are often bizarre and varied.
Logia are easier to identify. Whether it's the Flame-Flame Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, or the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand, their overall shapes are very similar.
Some resemble bloated oval pineapples, with different base colors and similar spiral patterns.
It's a real shame that after spending a full fifteen minutes flipping through the encyclopedia, I didn't see a single Devil Fruit that even remotely resembled a Logia Devil Fruit.
After observing for so long, he had a few options in mind, and then called over the marines who were waiting not far away.
He instructed him to bring out the Devil Fruits on pages twelve and thirty-three, both of which were Paramecia.
About three minutes later, two square wooden boxes were placed on the coffee table.
Vidal opened the two wooden crates and quickly sensed their information, while related dynamic images appeared in his mind at the same time.
The one on the left features various glasswares, glasses, glass windows, and so on.
The thing on the right turned out to be a series of vines that continuously transformed into various flowering plants, which caught Vidal's attention.
This should be a plant-based Devil Fruit.
Unfortunately, he wasn't interested. His Forest-Forest Fruit was the highest grade of plant fruit, so he casually closed the two wooden boxes.
"Please bring me the Devil Fruits on pages 21 and 47."
The marine didn't say anything, calmly took the two wooden crates away, and quickly placed two more identical wooden crates on the coffee table.
Vidal used the same trick again, but this time he let out a distinct sound of surprise when he sensed the first wooden box on the left.
"Hey, could this be..."
Hmm, what could it be? I'm quite curious too. I really hope Vidal can tell me what kind of fruit it is, right?

Urgent update:
It turns out that if a new book receives more than 100 investments, it will automatically be discovered and recommended on the app platform!
I was wondering why this book's collection was growing so slowly; it turns out it lacked that crucial recommendation compared to other books published around the same time. Everyone knows that app recommendations are much more effective than website recommendations.
Currently, there are 51 investors for this book. Could those who haven't invested yet please lend me a hand? Please, I promise you won't lose anything on your investment. Thank you!
