Speaking of aesthetics, after Mousse killed Kanjuro, the traitor among the original Nine Red Scabbards, he had obtained the Brush-Brush Fruit—a Devil Fruit that could be considered God-tier in the hands of the right person.
At the time, Mousse had planned to give it to Nineteenth Brother Charlotte Mondol, who had eaten the Book-Book Fruit in the original timeline, as compensation. Though this brother looked as shabby as Charlotte Snag, he had quite an artistic streak. One only had to look at his highly artistic outfit to know that. Mousse believed he could develop the Brush-Brush Fruit well.
But when Charlotte Mondol received the Devil Fruit, he was first shocked, thinking Mousse had stolen something else from the family treasury. Truly, bad news traveled a thousand miles while good news never left the house.
After confirming that there was no issue with the fruit's origin and learning that Mousse had acquired many Devil Fruits this time, the fellow's appetite actually grew, and he looked down on this Devil Fruit instead.
"Um, compared to art, I prefer military matters. Can I exchange it for a Devil Fruit that improves military command ability?"
Mousse's mouth twitched. However, he had accidentally learned of Capone Bege's current situation during his trip to West Blue. Knowing that the man had already eaten the Castle-Castle Fruit, Mousse figured that, with his strength, capturing him and stripping away his fruit should not be difficult. If Charlotte Mondol was willing to wait, then he could wait a while longer. Mousse would make another trip to West Blue whenever he had the time.
