Lottery Draw, Reward: Flash-Flash Fruit

At last, he had sold a Devil Fruit. The beginner's task was complete!

Watching Deadpool's figure gradually disappear, Rosha could hardly contain his excitement. He immediately entered the system interface impatiently.

What kind of reward would the system give him this time?

"System, settle the beginner's task!"

Filled with anticipation, Rosha gave the system that command in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully sold one Devil Fruit and completed the beginner's task!]

A synthesized electronic voice immediately sounded in his mind.

[The Host may choose one lottery draw or receive 500 Origin Points. How will the Host choose?]

"System, what are Origin Points used for?"

Rosha forcibly suppressed his urge to draw immediately and questioned the system.

What if Origin Points were also something incredibly useful?

[Answering Host: Origin Points can be used to accelerate Fruit development progress!]

[Using the Smooth-Smooth Fruit the Host just sold as an example, only 100 Origin Points are needed to develop it to the level of the template character.]

"Template character?"

Rosha raised an eyebrow.

[This system uses the corresponding characters from the One Piece World as reference templates!]

Rosha understood completely.

So that was what Origin Points were. They really were a good thing.

The same Fruit could produce entirely different results in different hands. The key lay in the degree of development.

With Origin Points, there was no need to worry even without much talent.

But for now, Rosha clearly had no need for Origin Points.

After all, before he could use Origin Points, he first needed to possess a Devil Fruit.

"I choose the lottery draw!"

Rosha immediately made his decision.

[The Host has one lottery draw opportunity. Draw now?]

What was there to hesitate over?

"Draw!"

Rosha answered without a second thought.

[Drawing reward...]

Following the system prompt, a string of names began flashing continuously before Rosha's eyes: Slash-Slash Fruit, Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Sickle Fruit, Bubble-Bubble Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Tremor-Tremor Fruit...

So the system's reward was actually some kind of Devil Fruit!

Rosha felt both anticipation and a bit of nervousness.

Although there was a saying in One Piece that there were no useless Fruits, only useless ability users, and that a Fruit's power depended entirely on how its user developed it—

To be fair, Rosha believed Devil Fruits had clear ranks.

Could ordinary Zoan Fruits, like the Ox-Ox Fruit or Dog-Dog Fruit, compare to Logia Fruits?

Especially those Logia Fruits. In the Marvel world, where Haki did not exist, they were naturally immune to all damage. That was simply broken.

Rosha was genuinely afraid of drawing an ordinary Zoan Fruit. That would really be a rip-off.

[Lottery draw complete!]

After those names flashed for a while, this prompt suddenly appeared on the system interface.

The rapidly shifting text then froze on one of the names.

Rosha only glanced at it once, but his heart immediately began pounding wildly.

Flash-Flash Fruit!

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Flash-Flash Fruit!]

As the system displayed that prompt, a golden fruit covered in unusual patterns appeared before Rosha.

There was no doubt about it. It was the Flash-Flash Fruit.

"The Flash-Flash Fruit ranks among the top three even among Logia Fruits. I hit the jackpot. This is a massive win!"

Looking at the Flash-Flash Fruit before him, Rosha was so excited he was nearly trembling.

Thinking of Admiral Yellow Monkey's power and those incredibly cool techniques, Rosha simply could not calm down.

"I just wonder whether Yellow Monkey's sleaziness came from eating the Flash-Flash Fruit."

Rosha was in such a good mood that after making that small jab, he immediately picked up the Flash-Flash Fruit in his hand.

Then he took a huge bite.

"Damn!"

"Disgusting. It's fucking disgusting!"

Even though he had known beforehand that Devil Fruits tasted awful, Rosha had never expected one to taste this bad.

The flavor was indescribable.

Even with mental preparation, he still nearly vomited.

Thinking about how Deadpool had eaten an entire Smooth-Smooth Fruit, Rosha could not help but admire him inwardly.

Deadpool truly was a warrior!

Gulp!

Gritting his teeth, Rosha forcibly swallowed the pulp that was so difficult to choke down. He immediately felt an indescribable change come over his entire body.

He had become light!

Rosha could feel that with absolute clarity.

"So this is what the Flash-Flash Fruit feels like?"

Rosha's face was full of wonder. It was an experience he had never had before.

Then he slowly raised his right hand and extended his index finger.

With a thought, a dazzling golden glow flickered at his fingertip.

With another thought—

A golden beam shot out at once.

It blasted a crater into the road outside.

"What was that?"

"What happened?"

Several pedestrians nearby noticed that something was wrong and could not help looking around.

Unfortunately, light was simply too fast. Ordinary people could not catch a photon flashing past their eyes. They only felt their vision blur for an instant, nothing more.

They had no idea what had happened.

With another thought from Rosha, his entire body began transforming into a "golden man" shining with golden light, entering an elemental state.

In this state, all forms of physical attack were like something from another dimension to him. They could not harm him in the slightest.

As for energy attacks—

That depended on elemental counters. Only another energy attack found in nature that could counter photons could injure Rosha!

Of course, things like Magic and the Infinity Stones were not being considered for the time being.

But what period was Marvel in now?

Iron Man had not even been born yet!

Basically, no one could hurt Rosha.

Unfortunately, Rosha had only just eaten the Flash-Flash Fruit and had not yet had time to train or develop it. His strength remained at a very rudimentary stage.

The only abilities he could use were firing photon bullets and turning his own body into an element.

As for Yellow Monkey's incredibly flashy techniques, such as Ama no Murakumo, Yata Mirror, and Yasakani no Magatama, Rosha still had a long road ahead of him.

[Next-stage task unlocked: Sell five Devil Fruits.]

[Stage task reward: One lottery draw opportunity or 1,000 Origin Points.]

At that moment, the system's prompt sounded in Rosha's mind once again.

"Five Devil Fruits... the road ahead is long."

Thinking about how difficult it had been just to sell a single Devil Fruit, Rosha could not help sighing.
