"Vanessa, don't get too excited yet. If you're buying this Fruit because you want to wear beautiful new clothes every day, then I have to remind you of something."
"Wade must have told you that after swallowing any Fruit, you can only gain one basic ability at first. That basic ability isn't enough to create refined suits."
"You can only make very rough suits."
"So... if you want to achieve your goal of wearing new clothes every day, you might need some time to train first."
Just as Vanessa was getting excited, Rosha had no choice but to throw a bucket of cold water over her.
Although this would dampen the customer's enthusiasm, as a responsible Shopkeeper, Rosha felt that he couldn't just introduce the good points. It was also necessary to tell customers about the less-than-perfect aspects.
After all, honesty came first in business.
"Shopkeeper, how long will the training take?" Vanessa immediately stared straight at Rosha and asked.
"Hard to say. Maybe one or two months, maybe one or two years. Everyone is different, so it can't be generalized."
Rosha told the truth. Even he couldn't give a definite answer about something like this.
"One or two years... I think I can wait!" Vanessa's enthusiasm was hardly diminished.
Compared to the enormous temptation of being able to wear new clothes every day, what was one or two years of training?
"Sweetheart, as long as you're happy." Deadpool said indifferently from the side.
As long as the clothes could stop bullets, that was enough. Whether they looked good or not was completely unimportant to Deadpool.
"Wade, how about we buy this Suit Fruit?" Vanessa asked Deadpool eagerly.
"Don't rush, Vanessa. Listen to the rest of my introduction before deciding. You're the only customers in the shop right now, so no one's going to snatch it from you."
Rosha smiled at Vanessa and continued introducing the Suit Fruit.
"The Suit Fruit does have its innate limitations. Clothes created with the Suit Fruit can only be worn by the ability user. Once they take them off, they will quickly weather away and disappear."
"Also, suits created by the Suit Fruit possess extremely high toughness and strength. They can easily block attacks from bullets, blades, and the like, but the hardness of the suits is far from sufficient."
"In fact, the fact that a suit can be worn so comfortably means it is very soft. That also means this Fruit basically can't develop any offensive abilities."
Rosha clearly explained some of the Suit Fruit's drawbacks to Deadpool and Vanessa.
But in their eyes, those weren't drawbacks at all.
It didn't matter that the suits couldn't be worn by others. They had never intended to make money selling specialized bulletproof clothing anyway.
As for not being able to develop offensive abilities, that was even less of an issue.
Deadpool's original intention was to strengthen Vanessa's defenses, not turn her into an expert who could fight killers in close combat.
"Shopkeeper, this is already more than enough for Vanessa!"
"Actually, I can't wait for Vanessa to put on a fashion show for me every night. What do you think, sweetheart?"
As he spoke, Deadpool planted a loud kiss on Vanessa's cheek, acting as casually as if he were in his own home.
"Wade, the Shopkeeper is still here."
Vanessa wasn't nearly as thick-skinned. Embarrassed, she pushed Deadpool away.
"It's fine. I'm sure the Shopkeeper won't mind, right, Shopkeeper?" Deadpool looked at Rosha with an honest grin.
"Wade, please turn left when you leave. No need to see you out!"
"Okay, okay. Let's get back to the Devil Fruits. Shopkeeper, isn't there also a Cotton Candy Fruit? Tell us about the Cotton Candy Fruit too."
Deadpool promptly surrendered and immediately changed the subject.
"The Cotton Candy Fruit, as the name suggests, is a Fruit that can create cotton candy. The ability user can create a huge piece of cotton candy to wrap themselves inside, thereby achieving defense."
Rosha gave them a simple introduction to the Cotton Candy Fruit.
In truth, Vanessa and Deadpool were clearly more interested in the Suit Fruit and had basically already decided to buy it.
But when they heard that the cotton candy it created could actually be used for defense, they were still greatly surprised.
After all, in everyone's usual understanding, cotton candy was extremely, extremely soft, just like cotton.
How could something like that possibly have anything to do with defense?
"Shopkeeper, how can cotton candy be used for defense? Can it stop bullets too?" Vanessa asked curiously.
"Of course it can."
Rosha nodded without hesitation and smiled at them. "In the world of Devil Fruits, cast aside your fixed notions. Everything you already know will be given a new definition here."
"Take the Biscuit Fruit, for example. How hard do you think biscuits are? What would you think if I told you that someone made biscuits that even missiles couldn't blast apart?"
Rosha was naturally referring to Cracker, one of the Three Sweet Commanders.
Cracker's Biscuit Soldiers were absurdly strong. Even Luffy had to use Fourth Gear to break them.
It was ridiculous.
"Hiss!"
Vanessa and Deadpool both sucked in a sharp breath.
Biscuits that missiles couldn't blast apart? Were those even biscuits anymore?
"The cotton candy created through the Cotton Candy Fruit is naturally not ordinary cotton candy. In fact, its toughness is no lower than that of suits created by the Suit Fruit."
"Considering the structure of cotton candy, the Cotton Candy Fruit's defensive effects are actually superior to those of the Suit Fruit."
"Moreover, the Cotton Candy Fruit can be used not only for self-defense, but also to restrain enemies. You can even develop Marshmallow Cloud to carry people through the sky."
"In short, this is also a very good Fruit."
Vanessa and Deadpool both clicked their tongues in amazement.
They had never imagined that simple cotton candy could have so many uses.
It could be used for self-defense, for dealing with enemies, and even for strategic relocation!
In terms of functionality alone, the Cotton Candy Fruit was indeed much stronger than the Suit Fruit.
But Vanessa still chose the Suit Fruit!
She was just an ordinary woman, not a fighter. Why would she need so many flashy abilities?
Of course, beauty was what mattered most.
"It's an excellent Fruit, and just as amazing, but Shopkeeper, I still choose the Suit Fruit! Wade, buy me the Suit Fruit." Vanessa said to Deadpool with almost no hesitation.
