It was another fulfilling day, with all the training sessions completed. Also, today I disciplined Sugar with Violet.
As expected, when I'm not a Vampire, I'm still quite approachable. Now, when Sugar sees me, she just shudders slightly and avoids eye contact.
Compared to the morning, when Violet left briefly to buy drinks and Sugar almost cried after being alone with me for just a short while, she has improved considerably.
Rebecca is younger than Sugar, but she's more like the older sister, always protecting her "little sister." She's already showing signs of being a little tigress, no wonder she's the daughter of a gladiator hero...

Another day of analyzing the Glint-Glint Fruit and the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, but there's also this little brat who doesn't have a fruit and insists on playing with us, which is a bit annoying. Pudding is much cuter.
However, something interesting happened today. While "experiencing life," I happened to spot a Marine with special abilities passing by, so I quietly followed them to observe...
Just then, by sheer coincidence, a group of idle thugs set their sights on Violet, who was with her two children. As a result, Violet kicked each of them... the kind of kick that would kill them all.
That's not surprising, after all, Violet is not someone to be trifled with.
Normally, many people in the city recognize her as Princess, so she has to be more discreet and pretend. But now that she's wearing disguise makeup, she can be completely unrestrained, which is perfect for practicing.
What worries me even more is that Sugar didn't actually do it herself—she did have a chance, after all, no one was on guard against a little kid like her.
More importantly, I could sense that Sugar had considered taking action, but hesitated, feeling that turning them into dolls was too much. She thought it best to just let Vio break her legs, shed tears, and stab her a few times...
It is evident that Sugar possesses at least a basic sense of right and wrong, and does not simply use her abilities recklessly.

√,√,√,√,√,√.
Although I'm more interested in the "Hobby-Hobby Fruit," today we've made progress on the analysis of the "Glint-Glint Fruit."
Moreover, this was the "last straw." With numerous capable individuals available for reference, the "Polymath," who had been steadily progressing in his role, finally completed his performance.
Because I frequently analyze Devil Fruit ability, my "Polymath" persona has been steadily improving step by step. However, I was still very happy that the persona was completely completed today. In my joy, I bought Violet a necklace...
I don't know why, but I always feel most comfortable picking out necklaces!
Incidentally, I also added a Psychological Suggestion on it that "she's not Princess," so that as long as Violet wears the necklace, she won't be recognized by ordinary people without makeup.
As a result, the Princess, who had many ideas, also liked the gift very much...
But after seeing the Promotion Ceremony, I wasn't really happy anymore.
This Promotion Ceremony is probably the most challenging of the four ceremonies held so far!
After finishing his diary entry, Sig rubbed his eyes...
It's not that my eyes are actually sore, it's just a habitual symptom of thinking.
Sig already knew about the three Promotion Ceremony, and Sig had even taken care of the ritual for a "Hypnotist" to advance to a "Dreamwalker".
As for the other two, Sig has already made progress.
If Sig can bestow the power of the "Kaido version of the Azure Dragon Fruit" onto Oz's body, he should be able to complete the ritual of "Rose Bishop" ascending to "Shepherd," which is Sig's most promising and certain goal.
There's another ceremony for a "Notary" to ascend to the rank of "Priest of Light," which is relatively more complicated—it doesn't involve any mystical matters, but it requires performing a major notarization that will impact the world...
However, Sig has already made progress, and he is currently working on two projects simultaneously: "The Void Century" and "The Treasure of Laugh Tale." As long as one of them can be resolved, the whole thing will succeed.
But the Promotion Ceremony along the White Tower Path...
Sequence 5 of the White Tower Path is "Secret Art Master". The biggest difference between the Mystic Mentor and the "Polymath" is that the Secret Art Master can create "Mystic Arts" on their own, instead of being limited to learning them.
The word "mentor" in the name also emphasizes the difference between the two.
When you transition from Reader to Polymath, the accumulated "knowledge" will come together at this moment, allowing you to create your own secret techniques!
This is a consistent promotion system, and indeed, the Promotion Ceremony tends to prioritize, or rather simulate, the authority of the next Sequence...
Sig has now basically figured out the pattern of the Promotion Ceremony!
However, the current "Secret Art Master" Promotion Ceremony is what's giving Sig the biggest headache—creating Paramecia Artificial Devil Fruit.
Hmm, thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.
Throughout the history of the "White Tower Path," "Devil Fruit abilities" have always constituted a significant portion of the knowledge.
The Secret Art Master is starting to create his own "secret arts," and these secret arts inevitably fall into the realm of "Devil Fruit."
Furthermore, it was emphasized that it is a "Paramecia Devil Fruit!
If it's Zoan, then it's quite simple for Sig. After all, Artificial Devil Fruit technology is almost ready for mass production, and it was developed by Vegapunk, Caesar Clown, and Sig together. Sig understands at least 80-90% of the process, and he knows the principles inside and out.
But if it were an "artificial Paramecia Devil Fruit," that wouldn't work!
While they may not be entirely different things, they are at least very different in principle. Caesar's version of "artificial Zoan Devil Fruit" involves directly inserting animal Lineage Factor into a human body and enhancing the degree of rejection and expulsion into the body through proliferative mutation to avoid loss of control.
However, Paramecia Devil Fruit cannot do this—even Paramecia fruits that alter the body's composition are different from Zoan fruits. After all, Zoan fruits only change the user's physiological structure, while Paramecia fruits that alter the body's composition completely ignore physiological structure!
After being transformed into gold or rubber, how does the human body complete its physiological metabolism?
The difference between a mutation of flesh and blood structure and a mutation into a "non-flesh and blood structure" is enormous...
