Dual Devil Fruit Powers!

Let's make a bold assumption.

If those two ability users were eaten, and after their hosts died, the devils inside the Devil Fruits should have randomly transferred to some fruit somewhere, regenerating into new Devil Fruits.

And according to the transfer rules of Devil Fruits, they usually enter the nearest suitable fruit.

On this island of Stomach Baron, the one thing never in short supply is fruit.

Could it be that, because of this, those two Devil Fruits transferred into fruits that fell together into the giant maw?

After all, the entire island flipped over, so it's normal for some fruit to fall—Dawn himself had been hit several times.

But inside the giant maw of Stomach Baron is powerful digestive stomach acid, so the Devil Fruits would naturally be digested. Thus, those two fruits were essentially eaten by the massive island that is Stomach Baron.

And if a single life eats two Devil Fruits, it will die.

But Stomach Baron didn't die, because it's special.

It's like how many speculate that Kaido, after eating a Devil Fruit, doesn't die but instead expels it from his body.

Because Stomach Baron's true body is a giant plant, and on top of that giant body, the plants that grow food are both part of its body and independent living beings.

So, under these circumstances, Stomach Baron, having digested two Devil Fruits, expelled the two digested fruits together onto that plant.

And as the fruit grew, the two Devil Fruits, which should have grown separately, somehow squeezed together onto a single fruit.

This speculation is the most reasonable judgment Dawn could make, based on the current situation and his previous knowledge of Devil Fruits and Stomach Baron.

Thinking this, Dawn couldn't help but fall into deep thought, hesitating as he looked at the fruit in his hand.

Originally, according to Dawn's plan, if he was going to eat a Devil Fruit, his first choice would naturally be the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from Sky Island, since Enel hasn't eaten that powerful Logia yet.

With that fruit and Dawn's imagination, he could develop everything from lightning-based physical enhancement to magnetic fields, electromagnetic cannons, and even plasma.

After all, he didn't watch all those years of anime for nothing, and because of his transmigration, his memory was crystal clear—development would be no problem.

If he joined the Marines, he'd be the next admiral. And if he got in touch with Vegapunk, with that man's intelligence, Dawn couldn't even imagine how far that fruit could be developed.

But if this strange fruit now really was what he thought it was?

Then how powerful would dual-fruit abilities be after development?

With the imagination from countless entertainment products he'd consumed, and letting the two fruits' abilities complement each other, this fruit's potential would definitely surpass a Logia.

But since the hosts of the two fruits fell into Stomach Baron's giant maw, which plunged deep into the seabed, and formed this strange fruit—would it have any effect on the Devil Fruits?

And it wasn't a direct transfer; it grew from a plant on Stomach Baron Island. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.

So, how to choose?

Eat it or not?

Dawn stared at the fruit before him, his expression dark and uncertain.

After sitting on the ground and thinking for half a day, Dawn's final answer was—eat it!!

Think about that guy Blackbeard, who endured silently in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades for his own goal.

He was even prepared that if he couldn't get the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would remain a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life.

You could say he was betting his entire future on a plan that had a high chance of "drawing water with a bamboo basket"—all for nothing.

And later, during the Impel Down incident.

Blackbeard staked his own life and the lives of his entire crew on Shiryu of the Rain, a man he had only just met.

Walking that path, it was a series of undeniable high-stakes gambles, with wagers covering Blackbeard's entire life, his dreams, and even his life!

But Blackbeard won his bets! And so he became one of the Four Emperors.

A man like that—even if Dawn didn't agree with his path, he had to admire his boldness.

And thinking of how countless such figures roamed the seas, Dawn made up his mind!!

It was just an uncertain mutated fruit anyway; whether it even had Devil Fruit abilities was another matter.

As they say, "The poor rely on mutation, the rich on technology."

With his current understanding of those two fruits and that almost crazily bold idea, it was already worth Dawn's gamble!

Other novel protagonists who transmigrate all have golden fingers or something, but here he was, so miserable. If he, a poor man, wanted to turn things around, he had to rely on his own "mutation."

And even if that bold idea didn't come true, just getting the abilities of two fruits would still give him a higher potential ceiling than other Paramecia.

Since he already had a safety net, the only fear now was that the fruit wasn't what he thought—just a weird-looking ordinary fruit.

But if it really was a Devil Fruit, combined with Dawn's knowledge of the world from his previous life and his imagination, even if the bold idea didn't work out or some accident happened—like only getting one fruit's ability—Dawn was confident he could develop a powerful ability!

There are no strongest fruits, only the strongest people!

The most obvious example should be the Logia users.

Some are as strong as admirals, others are pathetically weak.

And Shiryu of the Rain, later on, had Blackbeard steal Absalom's ability and transfer it to him, showing confidence in developing fruit abilities.

Worst case scenario, with his current strength and situation, the chance of reaching Sky Island was zero!

Rather than grasping at that fifty million, it was better to hold onto this "Schrödinger's one hundred million" in his hand!

Thinking this, Dawn, afraid to hesitate any longer, held his breath, picked up the two-colored special fruit, and took a big bite.

It was said that Devil Fruits tasted terrible, but worried that not finishing it might have consequences, Dawn had already steeled himself mentally to eat the whole thing.

But to his surprise, the supposedly awful Devil Fruit had flesh that felt as bouncy as jelly.

With that one bite, the pulp burst with abundant juice, exploding across his entire mouth.

Aside from its rich sweetness and fragrance, the only sensation it gave was refreshment.

"Holy shit, and here I was hesitating for so long—this is damn delicious!"

Dawn had expected an unbearably foul taste, even bracing himself to devour this mutated fruit completely.

But now it was so tasty that he couldn't help wondering if he'd just eaten a fruit that only looked like a Devil Fruit.

As Dawn chewed, the fruit's flavor began to bloom, like eating countless different fruits at once; savoring it carefully, he could detect many familiar tastes.

The refreshing juice in particular was incredibly soothing, like chugging a cold bottle of Sprite on a scorching hot day.

After savoring such deliciousness, Dawn slowly enjoyed the last bite, thinking that even if it wasn't a Devil Fruit, it was worth it—after all, this fruit was just too tasty!

But then a sensation hit him, freezing Dawn in place.

This was...
