Mosen always felt that the term "Paramecia" for Devil Fruits was actually not very accurate.

Rather than calling it Paramecia, "Superpower" type would be more fitting.

This book also shares a similar view to Mosen. The very first sentence introducing Paramecia Devil Fruits in the book is: "The essence of a Paramecia Devil Fruit is to gain a special superpower."

The specific effect is determined by the devil contained within the Devil Fruit. After the user eats the fruit, these devils transfer from the fruit into the user's Lineage Factor, thus granting the user different Devil Fruit abilities.

According to their abilities, the book divides Paramecia Devil Fruits into four types: Enhancement, Creation, Absorption, and Rule.

Enhancement type, as the name suggests, is when the Paramecia Devil Fruit user inherently possesses a special function that can directly act on the human body without relying on a medium to activate. However, it can only affect oneself and cannot influence external objects.

Examples include Luffy's Rubber-Rubber Fruit, Mr. 1's Slice-Slice Fruit, Diamond Jozu's Gleam-Gleam Fruit, and Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit.

The second type, Creation, is different from Enhancement type users. After eating the fruit, they don't gain a superhuman physique. Their bodies are no different from ordinary people, but they gain the ability to create a certain substance and control it perfectly.

Examples include Nico Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit, Mr. 3's Candle-Candle Fruit, Magellan's Poison-Poison Fruit, Doflamingo's Thread-Thread Fruit, and Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The third type, Absorption, has characteristics quite different from the previous two. Enhancement and Creation type users rely more on themselves, while Absorption type users are the opposite. Their Devil Fruit abilities often involve merging external things into their own bodies and making them their own.

Examples include Wapol's Gulp-Gulp Fruit, Charlotte Smoothie's Juice-Juice Fruit, Urouge's Hate-Hate Fruit, and Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit.

(P.S.: Urouge's fruit has not been officially named. His ability is to become stronger the more he is hit, as if specifically designed to absorb damage and accumulate hate. Therefore, I have tentatively named it the Hate-Hate Fruit.)

The fourth type, Rule, is completely different from the previous three. Rule type users generally activate their abilities through contact or other conditions, influencing and transforming things.

Examples include Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit, Bonney's Age-Age Fruit, Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit, and Fujitora's Gravity-Gravity Fruit.

Among the four classifications of Paramecia, the most overpowered are undoubtedly the Rule type fruits.

Even the Emperors would likely find this type of fruit troublesome.

Putting aside others, just take Sugar as an example. As long as she touches someone, whether it's an Emperor or a Marine Admiral, they will be turned into toys.

This shows how terrifying Paramecia Rule type fruits are, and it's one of the reasons Mosen is so determined to pursue Golden Lion's Lineage Factor.

Based on the timeline, Golden Lion's escape should happen this year. So, according to Mosen's plan, he won't be leaving Impel Down before Golden Lion escapes.

For the upcoming period, Mosen plans to diligently learn Haki and Swordsmanship from Mia and the others in Extreme Cold Hell, improving his strength as quickly as possible to deal with Golden Lion's escape.

The first thing Mosen did upon returning to Impel Down was to report back to Magellan.

Magellan briefly inquired about Mosen's situation over the past month. After confirming there were no major issues, he told Mosen to quickly return to his post.

Mosen immediately nodded in agreement, then went to the warehouse to collect his food for the month before returning to Extreme Cold Hell.

After a month's absence, entering Extreme Cold Hell again, Mosen actually felt a sense of returning home.

The moment he stepped into Extreme Cold Hell, Mosen could clearly feel every cell in his body cheering, greedily absorbing the cold air of Extreme Cold Hell.

At this moment, if any prisoner approached Mosen, they would clearly perceive that the temperature around Mosen was lower than in other parts of Extreme Cold Hell.

The cold air Mosen unconsciously released could easily freeze a prisoner into an ice sculpture.

After a while, Mosen slowly opened his eyes. He found that his control over the Frozen Lineage Factor had improved significantly.

This "unexpected gain" made Mosen's mood even more pleasant. He hummed a little tune and walked towards his small cabin.

However, before Mosen could take a few steps, he was blocked by a female prisoner.

The female prisoner appeared to be in her late thirties, with a build that was about average for the One Piece world. She was wearing Seastone handcuffs, indicating she was a Devil Fruit user.

"Miss, is there something you need?"

"G-give me y-your food!" said the shivering female prisoner.

"You want food? Then can you tell me what you did before you were arrested?"

"S-stop with the nonsense! Hand over the food!" With that, the female prisoner charged at Mosen recklessly.

Mosen sighed and manipulated the surrounding ice and snow, gathering them behind him into ice spears that shot towards the female prisoner.

The female prisoner dodged Mosen's ice spears with ease without even looking. In the blink of an eye, she reached him and raised her fist to smash Mosen's chest.

Seeing this, Mosen didn't dodge. He directly used Armament Haki + Tekkai: Empty Tree for defense.

"Crack~" With a crisp sound, the powerful rebound force caused the female prisoner's fist to twist.

The intense pain from her fist made a layer of cold sweat break out on the female prisoner's forehead. The cold wind of Extreme Cold Hell blew past, and the sweat on her forehead instantly condensed into a layer of frost.

At this moment, the female prisoner realized Mosen was not to be trifled with. She immediately retracted her fist and turned to run.

But Mosen had no intention of letting her go. This female prisoner was clearly new and hadn't witnessed Mosen's previous "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys." That's why she dared to attack him.

Moreover, there were many unfamiliar faces around, likely imprisoned after Mosen left.

To prevent these prisoners from bothering him, Mosen decided to teach these newcomers a lesson, letting them know that he, as a jailer, was not to be trifled with.

"Soru~"

Mosen's figure disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in front of the fleeing female prisoner the next second.

"Freeze!" With a murmur from Mosen, the female prisoner's legs instantly lost all sensation.

"You can control ice and snow? Are you a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit user?" the female prisoner asked, looking at her frozen legs with terror.

Mosen did not answer the female prisoner's question. Instead, he shouted to the surroundings, "From now on, whoever dares to attack me will suffer her fate."

With that, Mosen snapped his fingers. The ice freezing the female prisoner's legs rapidly spread upwards. In the blink of an eye, the female prisoner was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Mosen did not shatter the ice sculpture this time. He felt that leaving the ice sculpture here would be more intimidating to these people than shattering it.

Golden Lion's escape is approaching. Regarding the character of Golden Lion, I personally feel he is not an irredeemably evil person. He was more influenced by Rocks, to the point where his thoughts and actions are very similar to Rocks. Therefore, this book will make some changes to Golden Lion's fate. Please look forward to it.
