"What a coincidence," Doflamingo said with a low chuckle. Not long ago, he had told Hancock that he would help her find a Devil Fruit suited to her. And now, the Love-Love Fruit had practically delivered itself to his doorstep.
"Pass my thanks to Captain Tiger. He was thoughtful." Doflamingo accepted the Love-Love Fruit and nodded.
In truth, the value of a Fruit like the Love-Love Fruit, which placed extremely high demands on its user's personal qualities, had always been difficult to determine. To some, it was priceless; to most, it was completely useless.
After all, pirates made up the largest group of Devil Fruit users, and most pirates were... difficult to look at.
A crew like the Straw Hat Crew, where the vast majority were above average in appearance, was absolutely rare even among rarities.
Still, it was a Paramecia Fruit with considerable potential. Under normal circumstances, it was certainly more valuable than an ordinary Devil Fruit.

Hancock accepted
