Immune to All Poisons, and Able to Become a Giant

"The Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit allows its user to squeeze the water out of anything they touch and produce juice."

"Boss, according to the encyclopedia, this is a fruit for squeezing juice?"

Kingpin looked at Rosha and asked with a face full of confusion.

Vanessa, standing beside Kingpin, looked equally baffled.

"Fisk, Vanessa, the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit can indeed produce juice, but that is only a side effect. Its true core ability is extracting water from objects."

"And by objects, I do not mean objects in the usual sense. It includes the human body as well."

Rosha smiled as he explained it to Kingpin and Vanessa.

"Extracting water from the human body?"

Kingpin was greatly surprised.

If that was the case, then could the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit be used offensively?

After all, if the human body became dehydrated past a certain point, it could be life-threatening.

But even so, the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit did not seem to have much to do with immunity to poison.

"Don't rush, Fisk. You'll understand once you hear me out."

Seeing the eager curiosity on Kingpin and Vanessa's faces, Rosha smiled.

He did not keep them in suspense and went straight to what they cared about most.

"It is precisely because the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit can extract water that it can make its user immune to poison. More accurately, it makes them impervious to all poisons."

"It cannot prevent the user from being poisoned, but it can prevent the poison from harming them."

"Because the user can squeeze the toxins out of their body along with the water!"

"So that's how it is!"

Kingpin and Vanessa could only marvel at what they had heard.

This use of the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit was far beyond anything they had expected. It was incredibly imaginative and full of ingenious ideas.

For a moment, they could barely keep up with it.

How could they have imagined that a fruit they had dismissed as nothing more than something for squeezing juice could have such wondrous uses?

The world of Devil Fruits was practically a fairy-tale world.

"Fisk, don't you think the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit is incredibly romantic?"

Vanessa smiled at the side. Becoming immune to poison through such a marvelous method was filled with romanticism.

It suited Vanessa's tastes perfectly.

"That is not all. Imperviousness to all poisons is only one of the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit's basic abilities. It can also be developed for other uses."

"For example, the user can extract water from an enemy's body in battle, and can even spray out that extracted water to attack the enemy."

"That's right. This fruit can develop offensive techniques as well."

"I have to admit, that was beyond my expectations."

Kingpin spoke in surprise.

He had to admit that he had truly underestimated this fruit before.

"You're already surprised, Fisk? I've only introduced half of it."

Rosha's words thoroughly stirred Kingpin and Vanessa's curiosity once more.

Could the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit have even more wondrous uses?

"I just mentioned many applications of the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit, but all of them were based on its ability to extract water. In fact, however, the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit can not only extract water—it can absorb water as well."

Under their gazes, Rosha spoke with ease.

Absorb water?

Kingpin and Vanessa exchanged another baffled look.

In this short span of time, the young couple had exchanged looks like that countless times, because they truly could not figure out what absorbing water could do.

Extracting water could threaten the human body, but what use was absorbing water?

Extracting water affected others, while absorbing water affected oneself!

So what use was there in making oneself absorb more water?

They could not imagine it!

They simply could not imagine it.

"Open your minds and let your imaginations run free. Suppose water continuously poured into a person's body. What would happen?"

"Let me remind you: the human body has limited capacity, but the amount of water it can absorb is unlimited."

Seeing Kingpin and Vanessa pondering fruitlessly, Rosha began patiently guiding them.

The human body could hold only a limited amount of water, yet it could absorb an unlimited amount. So if water kept flowing into the body, then the body would... expand!

Just like how one's belly swelled after eating a full meal.

If someone kept absorbing water, their body would become the same way!

But what was the use of that?

Could it be... self-destruction?

Don't be ridiculous.

Seeing that Kingpin and Vanessa truly lacked imagination in this regard—though that was entirely understandable, since they had grown up in an objectively materialistic world, or at least that was how most people saw it—Rosha stopped keeping them in suspense.

He directly gave them the answer.

"They would become a giant!"

"That's right. A Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit user can absorb water from others and turn themselves into a giant!" Rosha told Kingpin and Vanessa.

A... a giant?

Kingpin and Vanessa were completely dumbfounded.

Just like when Enel saw that his lightning had no effect on Luffy, their entire worldview shattered.

It shattered into molecular-level fragments.

Fragments that could not be pieced back together.

Absorbing water to turn oneself into a giant—was this really not a joke?

Were they discussing the human body, or SpongeBob?

"Turning oneself into a giant? Even though I have eaten a Devil Fruit myself, I still find that hard to believe."

Only after several full seconds did Kingpin finally voice his stunned amazement.

As for Vanessa, there was no need to mention her. She was still dazed, as though she had heard some heavenly scripture.

"Yes, becoming a giant. Naturally, once someone becomes a giant, their strength increases exponentially, but their speed does not decrease."

"So the user does not need to worry about becoming sluggish or inconvenient to move after turning into a giant."

"Of course, as long as they squeeze out the excess water, they can return to normal again. It is quite convenient."

"That's amazing, simply amazing!"

Vanessa could not help exclaiming, her face now filled entirely with longing.

"Fisk, I've decided. I want the Squeeze-Squeeze Fruit!"

Vanessa immediately made her decision. "What do you think?"

"Very good!"

Kingpin immediately nodded. He was equally satisfied with this fruit.

His core demand had originally been nothing more than protection against poison.

Yet now, not only would it make someone impervious to all poisons, it could also grant considerable combat power and even that cheat-like giant transformation.

They had struck gold. They had truly struck gold.
