The Final Choice
This is the image that comes to mind.
A green, highly viscous-looking fluid wriggled and transformed into various shapes, bizarre shapes that defy description.
They sometimes separate, and then merge back together, like a mischievous child trying to show off their lively side.
Is this jelly or paste?
It could also be something like honey; Vidal's eyes lit up because it exhibited a slightly fluid quality.
The fluidity characteristic is quite rare for Devil Fruits; it belongs to the Logia or Special Paramecia.
Of course, this statement is not entirely accurate, because there are exceptions like the Ice-Ice Fruit among Logia, and there are also non-flowing plant-like entities like his Forest-Forest Fruit among Special Paramecia.
However, this green fruit is still very likely to be Logia or a Special Paramecia, which makes it extremely valuable.
Regardless, this fruit is worth the gamble for Vidal!
Having made his decision, but with another Devil Fruit on the right, he decided to take a look at it first. Vidal shifted his gaze there.
However, this time it was a bit disappointing; the image that appeared was a perfect sphere that suddenly split into dozens of smaller spheres.
This ability looks so familiar... Isn't it the Berry-Berry Fruit of future Marine Headquarters Colonel Very Good?
It now seems that Colonel Very Good was a risk-taker, willing to take a gamble. He was probably dissatisfied with the recorded Devil Fruits and wanted to try his luck with one that wasn't recorded.
Finally, the Berry-Berry Fruit was won through the gamble.
It's hard to say whether his luck was good or bad, because this Berry-Berry Fruit has quite a lot of potential for development.
If one learns Armament Haki and Hardening a layer of Haki on the dozens of split beans, then the power of each bead exceeds that of a cannonball.
If it has another chance to Awakening, it will be even stronger, turning the surrounding ground into beans. This would basically make it as powerful as a Buster Call!
To elaborate further, if we can continuously shrink the size of the beans, even if we can't shrink them to the size of sand grains, but only to the size of bullets, then the splitting would be quite powerful.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Vidal still chose to refuse. Wouldn't it be better to keep Curry and leave the rest for the future of Very Good?
Perhaps they are a match made in heaven with these Berry-Berry Fruits; let's not ruin their destiny.
"I'll take the fruit from page twenty-one, but please take the fruit from page forty-seven back." Vidal closed the wooden box containing the Berry-Berry Fruit and then pushed it forward.
"Then please bring the Devil Fruits on pages 31 and 54 for us to look at."
The marine obeyed orders with a blank expression, just like a robot, which pleased Vidal. If he had encountered someone who was a nuisance and gave him the cold shoulder, he certainly wouldn't have been in a good mood.
Once again, two new wooden crates appeared before them, making a total of three when combined with the previously selected fruit.
It must be said that the Marine Headquarters is indeed the Marine Headquarters; it is wealthy and powerful, with abundant resources. Although it may not be as abundant as the Devil Fruit reserves of Mary Geoise, it is still quite remarkable.
Pirates outside fight to the death for a single Devil Fruit, and it all depends on luck. But in the Navy, as long as you show potential or seize some opportunities, you can choose from nearly a hundred Devil Fruits!
This is one of the advantages of being part of the system.
As usual, first open the wooden box on the left. Inside is a Devil Fruit that is entirely reddish-brown with various brownish-red patches on its surface.
The Forest-Forest Fruit's perception and Observation Haki swept over.
The first image that flashed in my mind was a steel knife that gleamed with a cold light. Then, the blade was stained with a reddish-brown color, and then it shattered rapidly from the tip to the ground.
It really is that Devil Fruit!
When I was looking at the illustrations before, Vidal felt that the color of the fruit looked very familiar, and I had some guesses in my mind. Now it's confirmed.
This is the Rust-Embroider Fruit of Shu, another future Marine Headquarters Colonel Shu, the man who caused Zoro to lose his first Famous Sword, Yubashiri.
It seems these Colonels enjoy taking a gamble, but this also indirectly proves how ordinary the recorded Devil Fruits are.
Or rather, those seemingly attractive fruits had already been picked by our predecessors.
This Rust-Embroider Fruit is considered a high-quality Devil Fruit by Vidal. Its initial ability is to make any object or body that the user touches rust.
If given to someone with strong physical skills, it would leave a rusting effect on the opponent when attacking with a fist.
Ultimately, as the battle progresses, the opponent will become increasingly sluggish due to their body rusting, eventually rusting to death.
Moreover, this ability is quite effective against Swordsmen, provided that one has mastered the Hardening of Armament Haki; otherwise, if one encounters a stronger opponent, one's hands may be severed directly.
Besides, this is only a preliminary ability. Devil Fruit abilities can be strengthened through training, and the speed and range of rusting should be able to continue to improve.
In short, the Rust-Embroider Fruit has been selected; now let's see what power the fruit on the right has.
If he wasn't satisfied, he could just take the Rust-Embroider Fruit and the green fruit and leave. He couldn't possibly stay here and look at all the unrecorded Devil Fruits, could he?
It's too late today. I still have to train and study as usual tomorrow. There will definitely be another chance to come in the future.
"Hey!"
The moment Vidal gently opened the lid of the wooden box on his right, the light from above shone down, making the fruit inside gleam with a golden light.
This is a Devil Fruit that is entirely golden!
It looks quite pretty, but the key point is that this isn't the fruit he chose. How could he not know what he'd actually chosen?
It must be that the marine took the wrong one. Vidal glanced at the marine standing to the side, but remained silent for now, wanting to sense the fruit first.
If that doesn't work, point out the problem again and ask them to replace it for you.
"Roar!!"
The next second, a roar of a ferocious beast suddenly rang in his mind, startling Vidal.
"This is actually a Zoan Devil Fruit, but why is its fur golden?"
He took the golden fruit out of the wooden box, held it in both hands and examined it closely; it certainly didn't look like an ordinary item.
My current feeling is like hitting the jackpot in a gambling game. Speaking of which, my ability is indeed somewhat like the 'Golden Eye' of the Devil Fruit world.
Moreover, he had some exciting guesses in his mind, but this made him hesitate even more, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Rust-Embroider Fruit and it.
Which one should I choose?
The former's advantage lies in its clearly defined ability, while the latter lies in the strange phenomenon it exhibits. How could one not be tempted by such a phenomenon appearing in a Zoan Devil Fruit?
For their sake, Vidal even closed his eyes and pondered for a full ten minutes before making his decision when he opened them again.
Please keep this one, and take the other one back!
The marine obediently picked up the rejected box, glanced at the two Devil Fruits on the coffee table, and silently turned to leave.
"There's also a Famous Sword of the Skillful Grade Blades' level, but I don't know much about those, so I'll just pick one at random." Vidal exhaled a breath of stale air, relaxing completely.
Choosing this kind of thing is definitely stressful!
