Moke Has Robin's Intelligence Agents Deliver It to Vergo

In G1, Vergo's gaze was fixed on the box in his hands like that of a hawk, as if it were a priceless treasure. This box was specially delivered to him by Robin's intelligence agent at Moke's request, and he knew that Moke had been sparing no effort in searching for the perfect Devil Fruit for him.

Vergo's heart suddenly raced, as if an invisible hand was pounding heavily on his chest. His breathing became rapid, and his throat felt blocked, making it difficult to breathe smoothly. He couldn't help but imagine what kind of power and changes this Devil Fruit would bring him; these thoughts raced through his mind like wild horses.

Although Vergo wasn't particularly interested in Devil Fruit, Moke's persuasion stirred something within him. He couldn't help but wonder if this Devil Fruit could truly grant him unexpected abilities, and whether it could make him stronger in this dangerous and challenging world.

Vergo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He slowly reached out and carefully opened the box. As the lid was slowly lifted, a faint light shone from inside, illuminating his face.

Sure enough, a Devil Fruit lay quietly in the box. Its surface was covered with strange patterns, like mysterious totems, exuding a chilling aura. The Devil Fruit's color was vibrant and unique, as if it were nature's most magnificent masterpiece, unforgettable at first glance.

Vergo's gaze was fixed on the Devil Fruit, as if it were a rare treasure, radiating an alluring light. His heart began to race, and a strange emotion surged within him.

It was an extremely complex feeling, like a tangled mess of yarn swirling in his mind, making it difficult for him to sort out his thoughts. On one hand, he was filled with fear of the unknown power, a fear that loomed over him like a shadow, preventing him from easily touching that Devil Fruit. He didn't know what kind of impact this power would have on him, whether it would cause him to lose himself, or even plunge him into an abyss of no return.

However, at the same time, a deep-seated desire for immense power surged within him. He imagined himself possessing this Devil Fruit, easily defeating enemies like those legendary powerhouses, and becoming the center of attention. This desire burned like a raging fire, relentlessly scorching his soul, making it difficult for him to suppress.

These conflicting emotions intertwined within him, like a fierce tug-of-war where neither side was willing to give in. His fingers trembled slightly involuntarily, as if trying to break free from this inner struggle.

His heart felt as if it were being pulled by two completely different forces, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, causing him immense pain and inner turmoil. To the left lay his long-held conservative view of Devil Fruit; to the right lay the new possibilities brought about by Moke's words.

Originally, Vergo held a relatively conservative view of Devil Fruit. He firmly believed that his superb physical skills and powerful Armament Haki were enough to win battles. He thought that over-reliance on the power of Devil Fruit would make people lazy and dependent, thus losing their own strength and potential.

However, Moke's words struck him like a heavy hammer. "Zoan Devil Fruit don't conflict with physical skills; on the contrary, they can greatly increase a person's potential in physical combat." These words were like an Inazuma bolt that pierced the darkness in his heart, illuminating a path he had never seen before.

This Inazuma showed him a new possibility—a way to maintain his physical advantages while also utilizing the power of Devil Fruit. This possibility was like a shooting star in the night sky, brief yet dazzling, drawing him in to explore it.

He began to re-examine his views, pondering whether Devil Fruit could truly be perfectly combined with his physical skills to grant him greater power.

The idea kept swirling in his mind, making him increasingly restless. Moke's words kept echoing in his ears. Although they differed from his usual understanding, Moke's persuasiveness and authority made him unable to easily ignore them.

Perhaps, this Devil Fruit really could bring him unexpected improvements? Once this thought surfaced in his mind, it grew wildly like weeds, taking over his entire thought process.

His fingers slowly reached for the Devil Fruit, as if it were a sleeping behemoth that would devour him at the slightest mistake. However, the moment his fingertips touched the Devil Fruit, a strange energy surged through his body, causing him to shudder violently.

After much deliberation, Vergo finally decided to try the mysterious Devil Fruit. He slowly reached out and carefully held the Devil Fruit in his palm, as if he were holding a rare treasure.

However, when he actually touched the Devil Fruit, a moment of hesitation welled up in his heart. After all, this was a legendary Devil Fruit, and no one knew what would happen after eating it. But after only a moment of hesitation, Vergo immediately made up his mind. He took a deep breath and then put the Devil Fruit into his mouth without hesitation.

The taste of the Devil Fruit was indeed very unique. It was neither as refreshingly sweet as ordinary fruits nor as delicious as meat. Instead, it had a faint bitterness and fishy smell. However, for Vergo, these were insignificant. He put the Devil Fruit in his mouth without hesitation and chewed it quickly.

As the Devil Fruit's flesh gradually melted in his mouth, Vergo suddenly felt a strange sensation he had never experienced before. It was as if a powerful force was being released within him, surging and crashing through his body like a turbulent wave. This force came so suddenly that Vergo was caught off guard.

Vergo's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably. He could clearly feel the power surging through his muscles, bones, and blood. The power seemed to be breaking free of his body's restraints and tearing him apart completely. Vergo clenched his teeth tightly, trying to control the trembling, but the power grew stronger and stronger, almost unbearable for him.

His muscles swelled rapidly as if inflated, becoming even thicker and more powerful. At the same time, his bones hardened under the impact of this force, as if they could withstand a thousand pounds of weight.

Moreover, Vergo's skin began to undergo astonishing changes. A faint black layer gradually appeared on the surface of his skin, as if a hard Armored Titan was covering his body.

This layer of black skin, as hard as steel, covered his body, making his already tall and imposing physique appear even more robust and powerful. This black skin not only granted him unparalleled defensive capabilities but also gave him a chilling aura.

His once smooth skin was gradually covered by a layer of black fur, thick and coarse, like the fur of a wild beast. It started growing from Vergo's head and quickly spread to his entire body, completely enveloping him. As the fur continued to grow, Vergo's original human features gradually disappeared. His facial features became more rugged, and his eyes became narrow and sharp, revealing a wild light.

Vergo's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise and shock. He never expected that this Devil Fruit would bring about such a huge change in him. He felt the surging power within him, and that powerful feeling intoxicated him. His strength, speed, and stamina had all been greatly enhanced, and every punch he threw caused the air to vibrate violently.

Furthermore, he discovered that he had gained some special abilities related to animals. He could perceive his surroundings with the keenness of a wild beast and easily catch the subtle movements of his enemies. His body also became exceptionally flexible, enabling him to perform actions that ordinary people could not.

The Vergo of today has been completely transformed; he is no longer a warrior who simply relies on physical skills. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he has evolved into a powerful being with the power of Devil Fruit, a being that strikes fear into the hearts of all. His arrival will undoubtedly bring a tremendous upheaval to this world.

Vergo was filled with anticipation and curiosity about this Devil Fruit. He knew that the fruit his captain had sought for him was no ordinary thing, but when he finally unveiled its mystery, he was still deeply shocked—it was actually a legendary Mythical Zoan!

It's important to understand that Mythical Zoan are even rarer than Logia! Logia Devil Fruit are powerful, their abilities often have limitations. Take Smoker's Smoke-Smoke Fruit, for example. Although it allows Smoker to become Elementalization, thus cleverly dodging enemy attacks, it doesn't seem to offer much else. In Vergo's eyes, this seemingly flashy ability is rather impractical.

He believed that Smoker's Smoke-Smoke Fruit, aside from being able to bully newcomers and weaklings who hadn't Awakening Armament Haki, couldn't cause any real harm to truly strong opponents. In comparison, he even thought Monet's Snow Snow Fruit was superior.

More importantly, based on his understanding of Smoker, even Smoker's Smoke-Smoke Devil Fruit Ability would probably be difficult to withstand a single blow from him, right? After all, in the face of absolute power, any fancy ability seems insignificant.

For this reason, he has always held reservations about Devil Fruit, believing that instead of relying on Devil Fruit abilities, it would be better to focus on training in physical skills and Haki, which would be the only way to truly improve his strength.

However, the captain's words also make some sense...

Zoan Devil Fruit magical fruits that, once consumed, can significantly enhance the user's strength, even without deliberate development of their abilities. Such an alluring effect is irresistible. Moreover, all Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit possess immense power, without exception.

Just as Vice Admiral Vergo had swallowed the Zoan -type Mythical Zoan - White Tiger Form fruit and was feeling his strength skyrocketing, a Marine soldier rushed into the room as if his butt was on fire.

"Vice Admiral Vergo... Something terrible has happened!" The soldier's face was filled with terror, as if the sky were about to fall.

Upon seeing this, Vice Admiral Vergo frowned, his face showing surprise. "What's going on? Why are you so flustered? What happened?"

The naval soldier, barely catching his breath, hurriedly handed the three pieces of paper he was clutching to Vergo, his voice trembling as he said, "Vice Admiral Vergo, please take a look at this!"

Vergo took the three papers with a puzzled look, and upon closer inspection, his pupils suddenly contracted as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"World Military Draft? Marine Internal Tournament?" he muttered to himself, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

However, just moments later, Vergo's lips curled into an uncontrollable smile. What a coincidence! He had just eaten Devil Fruit, greatly increasing his strength, and now the Navy's internal tournament was about to begin.

"Heh heh," Vergo thought to himself, "Isn't this exactly what I wanted?"

Vergo had complete confidence in his abilities. Even before consuming the Devil Fruit, he was already an outstanding and top-ranking figure among the many Marine Vice Admiral. Now that his strength had reached an even higher level, he was confident that he would shine brightly and stand out in this internal competition.

After consuming this powerful Devil Fruit, Vergo felt a surge of confidence. He knew that the power contained within the fruit was more than enough to make him stand out in the Navy. Even if he couldn't immediately ascend to the position of Admiral, securing an Admiral position would be a piece of cake for him.

However, when his gaze fell on the third sheet of paper, his mood became slightly heavy. This sheet listed information about the Navy Grand Tournament, and he was scheduled to Gabi in the sixth and final batch, three months from now.

"Three months..." Vergo murmured, his brows furrowing slightly. He knew very well that it was almost impossible to make significant improvements in physical skills and Haki within such a limited time. After all, his Six Powers and Armament Haki had already reached their peak, and the difficulty of making further breakthroughs was unimaginable.

However, Vergo was not discouraged. He thought of the Devil Fruit ability he had just acquired, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. Although there was limited room for improvement in his physical skills and Haki, three months was enough time for him to familiarize himself with and develop his own unique techniques for this brand-new Devil Fruit ability.

"Perhaps, with the power of this Devil Fruit, I really do have a chance to compete for the position of Admiral," Vergo thought to himself. His eyes grew increasingly determined, as if he could already see himself standing before the Admiral's throne.

Not only Vergo, but all the forces around the world, like sharks smelling blood, quickly got the news. After all, it's not common for the Navy to plant people in the Four Emperors' pirate crews, and naturally, all the forces wouldn't miss the opportunity to plant their own people in the Navy.

Such an opportunity was incredibly rare, like a windfall; who wouldn't be tempted? As a result, the whole world was thrown into turmoil by this news, the relationships between various forces became intricate, and the previously relatively stable situation was completely shattered.

Meanwhile, Moke was already speeding towards the location of Ata, Brook, and Perona without hesitation. He knew very well that if he could take the Gold City, he would not only be standing completely against the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, but he would also be breaking a delicate and wonderful balance.

While the Straw Hat Crew is adventuring in Elbaf, the Knights of God also begin their operation. They hypnotize the children at the school and then lead them to the port. The Knights of God intend to transport the children to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, taking the Giant Tribe children hostage so that the World Government can control the Giant Tribe. The Straw Hat Crew joins the battle.

The Straw Hat Crew and the Giant Tribe warriors are fighting a nightmare monster, while the Knights of God remain hidden behind the scenes. Only the bandaged woman appears before the Straw Hat Crew. She only attacks when the Straw Hat Crew makes a move; the other two are still in the forest, controlling the nightmare monster in the battle.

The great war against the Giant Tribe has broken out. Nightmare monsters attacked the village, and all the warriors were mobilized to protect it. The nightmare monsters were too powerful, and the village was almost destroyed. Dorry, Brogy, and others immediately came to reinforce the village, and Gaban also joined the fight. They defeated several nightmare monsters.

If this balance were broken, the consequences would be unimaginable. But Moke showed no sign of backing down, because he knew that he still held Kaido and Big Mom's people in his hands. These two would definitely not let him off easily, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

Therefore, he must race against time to get Baby-5, Sugar, Monet, Rebecca, and Ms. Miss Goldenweek back to Gold City safely as soon as possible. Only in this way can he save his own life and that of his companions in this storm.

These five individuals each possess unique and distinctive abilities, making them a formidable fighting force when brought together. Ms. Miss Goldenweek, in particular, has undergone a complete transformation since consuming the Art-Art Fruit. Her strength has increased so dramatically that it surpasses even Rebecca's power, who ate the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, by a significant margin. Undoubtedly, this Devil Fruit is a perfect match for her, as if tailor-made for her... Perhaps, before long, another powerful figure capable of standing alone will emerge within his pirate crew.

Just as Moke was lost in daydreams about Ms. Miss Goldenweek's future achievements, his gaze was suddenly drawn to an island ahead. He looked closely and asked, puzzled, "What's that island over there?" Monet, seeing this, replied, "That's Hachinosu... If you cross that island and sail another hundred nautical miles, you'll reach where Gold City is now." Then, as if remembering something, Monet added, "Oh, right, Hachinosu is now occupied by Ochoku. He, Kaido, Whitebeard, and Big Mom..." They were both once members of the Rocks Pirates. He's incredibly famous in the New World, second only to the awe-inspiring Four Emperors. Even the powerful Four Emperors pirate crews are wary of him and dare not easily provoke him. Therefore, I strongly suggest we change our route and avoid his sphere of influence to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, our current enemies are already powerful enough, including the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, both Emperor Level forces. Under these circumstances, it's really not wise for us to provoke any more powerful enemies...

"Hachinosu? Ochoku?" Moke couldn't help but show surprise, clearly familiar with the name. Ochoku was no ordinary person; his experiences were legendary. Back then, the Rocks Pirates suffered a crushing defeat at God Valley, almost completely wiped out, but Ochoku miraculously survived, becoming a renowned pirate who Might-Shaker the Four Seas. Later, Ochoku even seized the former Rocks Pirates' stronghold— Hachinosu —and claimed it for himself... However, fate is unpredictable, and the island eventually fell into Blackbeard's hands...

Just as Moke was deep in thought, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the entire Hachinosu was trembling. "Boom..." The Soundquake, drawing everyone's attention. Clearly, a breathtaking battle was unfolding on the island, its intensity beyond imagination! From the deafening shouts and earth-shattering explosions, it was evident that both sides were extremely powerful, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary pirates.

Moke stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at Hachinosu in the distance, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He pondered to himself, "I personally dealt with Blackbeard, so why is someone attacking Ochoku's Hachinosu?" This question lingered in his mind, filling him with curiosity about the cause of this battle.

"Don't change course, get closer... I want to see who's attacking Hachinosu." Moke gave the order, his voice resolute. Monet nodded in agreement. She knew her duty as a crew member. Although she was somewhat worried about getting closer to Hachinosu, she chose to obey the captain's decision.

As the pirate ship drew closer to Hachinosu, Moke's expression grew increasingly grave. He was astonished to discover that large swaths of darkness, as black as ink, would occasionally surge up from the Hachinosu, seemingly capable of swallowing all light. This eerie sight sent a chill down his spine, and a terrifying thought crossed his mind, "Could it be that Blackbeard isn't dead?"

The thought made Moke's heart race. He gripped the gunwale tightly, his eyes fixed on the ever-emerging darkness, as if trying to see the truth hidden within it.
