Magellan's Office
Their eyebrows furrowed slightly, forming two shallow wrinkles, like ripples on a lake surface disturbed by a gentle breeze. Their lips were slightly closed, pressed tightly together, revealing their inner focus and contemplation. At this moment, the words that sounded both mysterious and incredibly perplexing were like a riddle placed before them, attracting everyone's attention.
Each word is like a dazzling gem set in the sentence; and each pause is like a gap between those gems, seemingly concealing countless unknown secrets. These words and pauses intertwine to form a complex picture, waiting for them to use their wisdom and insight to slowly unveil the profound meaning behind it.
For a moment, thoughts raced through everyone's minds, various ideas and guesses rising and falling like twinkling stars in the night sky. Some thoughts flashed by like shooting stars; others lingered, as bright and dazzling as the Big Dipper. Everyone racked their brains, trying to glean even the slightest clue or key information from these seemingly incoherent and chaotic words.
Time slips away unnoticed, the second hand ticking crisply, as if reminding people of its preciousness. Yet, those immersed in thought remain oblivious, their minds deepening. Initially, they cautiously linger on the surface of words, treading carefully like walking on thin ice. But gradually, it's as if someone has lit a lamp in the pitch-black night; the warm, bright light instantly dispels the surrounding darkness. One by one, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, the fog in their hearts clears, and the path ahead becomes clearly visible.
A look of Satori realization slowly spread across their faces, as if they had finally found the entrance to a treasure after countless hardships, or welcomed the dawn after a long night. Their tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up, revealing an irrepressible joy and excitement. It was a sense of exhilaration after sudden enlightenment, as if the gloom that had long shrouded their hearts had vanished in an instant, leaving only a clear and bright sky.
However, just as they were overjoyed, believing they had grasped the core of the matter, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded. Despite having the answer in their hearts, the turbulent waves surging from the depths of their souls showed no sign of abating. On the contrary, like a snowball rolling downhill, it grew larger and faster, its power increasing ever stronger.
The surging emotions raged and crashed through everyone's hearts, making them unable to control themselves. Their previously clear thoughts were disrupted once again, and the insights they had just gained seemed so fragile in the face of this torrent. The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.
The sheer scale of the shock far exceeds what language can describe. If one had to find a single word to describe the emotions in everyone's hearts at this moment, perhaps only the word "horrified" could barely capture even a fraction of it.
At that moment, several people involuntarily glanced at each other, seeing the same disbelief and deep fear in each other's eyes.
They simply couldn't imagine that such a terrifying Devil Fruit could exist in this vast and boundless world! Could it be that anyone who swallowed this fruit could simultaneously possess the powers of numerous Devil Fruits?
Only now did they finally awaken from their reverie and understand completely why, for so long, Moke had been known as a multi-talented individual...
