As he sheathed Intent Blood, Werther was already looking forward to its next passive ability.
But evolving it to the second stage would take a full 40 energy points.
An ordinary Zoan fruit could provide roughly two to five points. Ancient Zoan and Mythical Zoan fruits should provide more.
An ordinary Paramecia fruit would provide about five to ten points. The stronger the fruit, the more energy it would yield.
A Paramecia fruit like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit could provide at least a hundred points.
Logia fruits should provide the most. But Werther had yet to kill a Logia user since Intent Blood gained its Devourer ability, so he had no way to know the exact amount.
At that thought, Werther felt a pang of regret. Intent Blood had gained Devourer a little too late.
He had killed plenty of Logia users before, including Kizaru, Akainu, and Charlotte Katakuri.
But there was no point thinking about that now.

He was tall, with two sharp tusks jutting from his lower jaw and a brand near his chest.
He was none other than the former Shichibukai, Knight of the Sea Jinbe.
"Jinbe, we've received word that the Straw Hat Pirates are about to enter Fish-Man Island.
Lord Werther has ordered us to cut off your head the moment they set foot on the island and present it to them. Do you have any last words?"
Diamante held an executioner's blade and glared at Jinbe.
Gravely wounded, Jinbe weakly opened his eyes.
"I don't regret choosing Charlotte Linlin to protect Fish-Man Island.
