Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit?

Devil Fruit Shop.

"Boss, this is my fiancée, Vanessa!"

Kingpin, dressed in a white suit, appeared in Rosha's shop with a gentle woman in a black dress.

He politely introduced the beauty beside him to Rosha.

A few days ago, Kingpin had said he would bring his fiancée back to visit, and now he had indeed fulfilled his "promise."

For some reason, though, Rosha felt that Kingpin looked exhausted.

The kind of exhaustion that was both physical and mental.

It looked like he had run into some trouble.

Considering what a chaotic place Hell's Kitchen was, there were surely countless frustrating things happening every day. Rosha could understand that well enough.

"Hello, Boss. I've heard Wilson praising you every day these past few days. I finally get to meet you in person today. You truly are an extraordinary young man, full of heroic spirit."

Vanessa immediately gave Rosha a very polite smile and laid on the flattery thick.

"You flatter me, Ms. Vanessa. Please, both of you, come in."

Rosha smiled and welcomed Vanessa and Kingpin into the shop.

"Fisk, how has your Devil Fruit development been going these past few days?"

Rosha casually made small talk with Kingpin.

"I'm not one to boast, but I have indeed undergone a great deal of training these past few days, so... there have been some results."

Kingpin said lightly.

But a flash of heartache passed through Vanessa's eyes.

Only she knew what kind of extent Kingpin's "great deal of training" had reached.

After Wesley died, Kingpin had trained himself like a madman.

He had even frightened Vanessa.

That was why Vanessa had hurriedly pushed aside everything else and specifically made time to buy a Devil Fruit. Only then had she finally managed to pull Kingpin out.

"Fisk, with that attitude alone, I believe you'll develop the Steel-Steel Fruit very well."

Rosha nodded approvingly at him.

"I hope so too."

Kingpin nodded, a fierce glint flashing subtly through his eyes.

Once his Devil Fruit development reached a certain level, he would make those people pay the price they deserved.

"I came here this time mainly to accompany Vanessa in buying a Devil Fruit. Boss, could I trouble you to bring out the catalog for Vanessa to look through?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Rosha, Kingpin explained his purpose.

"Of course."

Rosha took out the catalog and handed it to Vanessa.

Vanessa gave it a glance and immediately looked astonished.

Just as Kingpin had said, the fruits listed in the catalog were far too strange and fantastical. It was as if a door to a new world had been opened for Vanessa.

Unlike the others, Vanessa had personally witnessed Kingpin's Steel-Steel Fruit, so she knew that all those unbelievable things described in the catalog were real.

"Incredible!"

Vanessa exclaimed unconsciously, then greeted Rosha. "Boss, forgive my rudeness. Fisk and I will look over this catalog first."

"Please, Ms. Vanessa," Rosha said with a smile.

Vanessa and Kingpin huddled together and carefully studied which Devil Fruit would be best to choose.

But after about fifteen minutes, the two of them still looked troubled as they raised their heads.

"Boss, we're having trouble deciding which Devil Fruit to choose. Why don't you recommend one for us?"

Kingpin looked at Rosha as he spoke.

Although the catalog contained introductions to the Devil Fruits, they were only brief and general descriptions.

Naturally, they did not understand the true abilities and development directions of those fruits as deeply as Rosha, the shop owner.

So most of the time, the catalog could only serve as a table of contents or an index.

If they truly wanted to buy the Devil Fruit they desired, they still had to ask Rosha himself.

"What kind of Devil Fruit do you want? Tell me, and I'll see whether there's something suitable." Rosha nodded and readily agreed.

Answering customers' questions and providing consultation services was precisely his duty as the shop owner, wasn't it?

"To be honest, Boss, Vanessa was poisoned some time ago. It has been weighing heavily on my mind."

Even now, Kingpin still looked frightened when he brought it up. "If not for Dr. Zhao, the consequences would have been unimaginable. So I was wondering whether you have a Devil Fruit that can prevent something like that from happening again?"

With Kingpin's power, arranging a large number of people to protect Vanessa was incredibly easy. He was not afraid of ordinary assassination attempts.

People with ill intentions toward Vanessa could not even get close to her.

What Kingpin feared most were underhanded methods like poisoning.

They were simply impossible to guard against.

No, it was more accurate to say they could not be prevented at all.

After all, he could not have every one of Vanessa's three daily meals tested for poison before letting her eat, could he?

That was unrealistic.

So the best solution was to eliminate the very possibility of the human body being poisoned at its root.

Under normal circumstances, that would naturally be impossible. But now, with miraculous Devil Fruits, it might not be unattainable.

Although the catalog did not list a "poison-proof fruit," it also did not say that the Steel-Steel Fruit could make one's fists glow.

For something like this, they naturally had to ask the shop owner.

"So, Fisk, Vanessa, is your core request immunity to poisoning?" Rosha asked the two of them for confirmation.

"Yes, Boss. That is exactly what we want." Vanessa and Kingpin both nodded.

"If it's immunity to poison, I do happen to have a solution."

After thinking for a moment, Rosha quickly came up with a very suitable Devil Fruit and spoke to them.

"Please tell us, Boss!"

Vanessa immediately asked impatiently.

Sure enough, there was no use in blindly researching it themselves. Asking an expert on Devil Fruits was the right path.

"The Devil Fruit I recommend is called the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit."

Rosha pointed at a fruit in the catalog before them and introduced it.

That was right.

Of course, the fruit Rosha recommended to Vanessa was not the Poison-Poison Fruit. That thing might have worked in One Piece World, but it was completely unsuitable for modern society.

Not to mention Vanessa was a woman. Having diarrhea every day would be far too awful.

As for it being temporarily out of stock, that was not really a problem. Waiting a while if they truly liked it was fine, and the higher price was not an issue either.

The Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit?

Kingpin and Vanessa exchanged a look, both somewhat confused.

They had seen this fruit, but had not paid it much attention. Wasn't it just a fruit for squeezing juice?

What did that have to do with immunity to poison?
