Morning.

Inside the Devil Fruit shop.

Click!

Click!

The shutter kept snapping as Rosha held a camera, carefully photographing the Devil Fruits.

He mainly felt that introducing the Devil Fruits to customers one by one as before was too troublesome, both for himself and for the customers.

So Rosha planned to create a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, with photos of the Devil Fruits and brief descriptions beneath each one.

Wouldn't that make everything clear at a glance?

That way, whenever customers wanted to learn about a particular fruit, Rosha could introduce it specifically instead of laboring through a random, aimless explanation.

In his previous life,

Rosha had studied design in college, so he could handle photography and design himself without having to hire someone specifically.

That certainly saved him some trouble.

"Boss, what are you busy with?"

Just as he was occupied, Deadpool appeared.

At his side was a woman with a slightly wild air about her, yet incredibly sexy.

Rosha had seen the Deadpool movies, not to mention that there were plenty of photos of this woman on Deadpool's social media account.

So Rosha knew that woman was Deadpool's wife, Vanessa.

"It's Wade."

Rosha put the Devil Fruit in his hand back and casually explained, "I'm planning to make an encyclopedia so everyone can better understand Devil Fruits in the future."

"A very wise decision! Boss, you should have done this ages ago."

Deadpool nodded, then introduced the woman beside him to Rosha. "Boss, this is the wife I told you about, Vanessa."

"Ms. Vanessa, welcome to my shop. Mr. Wade has given the shop a great deal of support and help, and I'm very grateful for that."

Rosha nodded and politely greeted Vanessa.

"No, no, Boss, we should be thanking you."

Vanessa hurriedly waved her hands and said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, Wade would never have been able to walk confidently under the sun. You gave him a new life."

"All right, let's stop flattering each other here." Rosha smiled. "The fact that we met is fate."

As he spoke, Rosha turned his gaze toward Deadpool. "So, Wade, are you planning to buy another Devil Fruit?"

"Of course. Something this miraculous should let Vanessa experience it too."

Deadpool nodded heavily and casually placed the black case in his hand on the floor.

"I'm also really looking forward to seeing how miraculous Devil Fruits are." Vanessa's eyes shone with anticipation.

"Then, Ms. Vanessa—"

"Boss, just call me Vanessa, like Wade does." Vanessa cut Rosha off with a smile.

"All right, Vanessa. Wade asked me about some defensive Devil Fruits before. I assume he was asking on your behalf, right? Do you need a defensive-type fruit?"

Rosha did not stand on ceremony with Vanessa.

"Actually, I want perfect, flawless skin like Wade's. But Wade said there's only one of each fruit, so, Boss, are there any other fruits that can do that?"

Vanessa pursued the question.

Sure enough, loving beauty was everyone's nature.

"I'm sorry, Vanessa, but there aren't any beauty-enhancing fruits among the ones currently available."

Rosha shook his head. "Besides, the essence of Devil Fruits is to bring out the body's potential and make people stronger. Better skin is only a side effect."

"There are no fruits specifically meant for beautifying oneself."

Even the Love-Love Fruit eaten by the Empress was not fundamentally meant to turn her into a stunning beauty. Its true purpose was to give her the means to bewitch people's hearts.

Making the Empress beautiful was merely a side effect, because beauty itself was her weapon.

"I see."

Vanessa looked thoroughly disappointed.

Wade, standing beside her, could not help grinning.

"Vanessa, since there aren't any beauty-enhancing fruits, let's go with what we agreed on and buy a defensive fruit. See? It's fate, right?"

Deadpool said smugly to Vanessa.

"Whatever." Vanessa no longer cared much about it.

In her eyes, there were only two kinds of fruits: beauty-enhancing fruits and everything else.

Without a beauty-enhancing fruit, all the others were the same.

"Boss, then let's go with a defensive fruit. Which ones do you think are good? Recommend two."

Deadpool impatiently said to Rosha.

He looked afraid Vanessa might change her mind again.

"If it's for a pretty young lady, I strongly recommend the Suit Fruit and the Cotton Candy Fruit."

"Especially the Suit Fruit. I believe it's definitely one of the fruits most popular with women."

Without even thinking, Rosha made his recommendation to Deadpool.

Well, it was not that he had not thought about it. When Deadpool asked him about such fruits last night, Rosha had already guessed who Wade intended to buy one for.

He had thought it through long ago.

"The Suit Fruit? What kind of fruit is that?"

Vanessa, who had not been very interested before, finally showed some interest. "What does 'suit' mean? A set of clothes?"

"Yes, Vanessa. The Suit Fruit can create an entire set of clothing, so calling it the Clothing Fruit would also be fine." Rosha nodded.

"So if I eat this fruit, I can wear new clothes every day?" Vanessa looked excited and full of anticipation.

"Vanessa, you guessed right. If you become sufficiently proficient with the fruit, you can naturally create any clothing you can imagine."

"It really works like that? That's amazing!"

Vanessa was so excited she was practically about to jump. "This one, this one! Boss, I want this one."

"Boss, the clothes created by the Suit Fruit can be bulletproof, right?"

Deadpool asked from the side, seeking confirmation.

"Of course, Wade. I understand what you mean."

"I said that the essence of Devil Fruits is to increase one's strength. The essence of the Suit Fruit is to improve one's protection. Whether you create a suit of armor or a clothing set is merely a personal choice."

"So, even the fruit's initial ability form after consuming it can be bulletproof."

"It can even be bulletproof? Oh my God, that's incredible! Wade, you were right. The fruits here are practically creations of God!"

Vanessa was getting a little carried away. She truly could not have been more satisfied with this fruit.

She could change outfits every day, and it could stop bullets too. Where else could she find such a perfect, godlike fruit?

Deadpool was also very satisfied. Wasn't it basically the same as wearing a bulletproof vest every day?

The safety factor was certainly high.

Both husband and wife were extremely satisfied with this fruit.
