On the deck of the [Black Pearl], despite the urgent situation, Dunn still gathered all the human crew members.
The entire ship was controlled by the Black Pearl, so there was no need for the crew.
Several strangely shaped fruits lay on the deck in front of Dunn.
"The situation is urgent, so I won't waste time. Each of you, take one and eat it," Dunn told the crew, pointing at the Devil Fruits before him.
Dunn had accumulated these Devil Fruits over the past few months, ever since he signed the River Styx Contract with the Eye of the Firmament and activated the Silver Mirror's anti-divination function.
Dunn had begun deliberately setting aside Devil Fruits with fairly decent abilities, intending to use them to develop his subordinates later.
He had been in this world for nearly a year, and his research had shown that Zoan Devil Fruits were the best suited to this world. At least, that was the case so far.
Even with attributes far exceeding those of Classholders at his tier, Dunn could still gain more than ten points in Basic Attributes after eating a Zoan Devil Fruit.
More than ten attribute points, even in terms of Attribute Potions, would be worth tens of thousands of gold coins-the equivalent of several bounties on Dunn's head.
Not to mention, they increased attributes beyond the Transcendent threshold.
And whether it was Career Abilities or Devil Fruit abilities, their strength was always determined by these Basic Attributes.
In this world, the Elementalization ability of Logias was only particularly powerful below the third tier, but it was not invincible even then. After all, even Second-Tier Professionals had many abilities that could counter Elementalization.
Once they reached the third tier, the energy of the vast majority of Classholders could break through Elementalization.
