Julian happily placed this Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Silver-Silver Fruit, into his safe. Seeing the safe made him think of Gion again. She should be doing well, right? She must have returned to Marine Headquarters at Marineford by now. I'll have to find her someday and get her Den Den Mushi number.
Julian grumbled, "Gion, when you left, you only remembered to look cool. You didn't even give me your Den Den Mushi number." Then Julian suddenly remembered something and said, "How the hell does the Marine Headquarters Elite Class teach its students? You go undercover without even bringing a Den Den Mushi? How are you supposed to pass along intelligence then, by carrier pigeon?"
Julian examined the second Devil Fruit again. He carefully compared it against the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and discovered that this white Devil Fruit was a Paramecia Devil Fruit: the Soap Fruit. It's an upgraded Devil Fruit of the Bubble Fruit. It can create bubbles over a large area and make people slip. It's also a very good Devil Fruit.
At the very least, it was a high-grade Devil Fruit. Julian said, "I can give this Devil Fruit to Beatrice and make her fair and clean. The Soap Fruit even comes with a pleasant fragrance, and it can wash you nice and white. It's a very clean and fragrant Devil Fruit." Julian placed it in the safe as well, for later.

The Den Den Mushi of Rear Admiral Gilmi, commander of the South Blue Naval Branch, was ringing off the hook. The Astucia Kingdom had been massively looted by pirates, and all the nobles and the king had been stripped clean.
