The first Distillery executive to arrive.
It was Sherry, who was in charge of the West Blue branch. She was an ordinary-looking girl with long, sea-blue hair. She was from the Rum Kingdom and was 18 years old this year.
Then there's Tequila, the head of the South Blue branch, a burly man with light red skin, born as a homeless child in the Oykot Kingdom, and 19 years old this year.
The head of the amusement park branch, Du Songzi, is a black-haired young man with a somewhat expressionless face. He is an orphan from the Blue Mackerel Port of the Rum Kingdom and carries a long sword. He is 20 years old this year.
Rum, the head of the East Blue branch, is the son of a merchant born in the capital of the Rum Kingdom. Due to his family's bankruptcy, he became homeless and was secretly adopted by the training camp. He is a smiling, chubby man who is 19 years old this year.
Vodka, the head of the North Blue branch, is a red-haired young man with a large scar on his face. He is an orphan from Loguetown and is 20 years old this year.
Champagne, the head of the New World branch, is a blonde girl with gold-rimmed glasses. She is an 18-year-old orphan abandoned in Orange Town.
"Lord Noah," the six men greeted Noah respectfully.
Noah waved his hand. "Sit down, everyone. It's been almost two years since you graduated from the training camp. I've gathered you here today to reward you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy, but out of respect for Noah, they remained silent and waited quietly for what he would say next.
Noah took out more than a dozen boxes from his card space. "These 14 Devil Fruit are currently unassigned. You can choose one according to your needs."
Looking at the row of small boxes in front of them, everyone's eyes became even more fervent.
They quickly selected their favorite fruits.
Sherry chose the Paste-Paste Fruit.
The Tequila picked the Rattlesnake Fruit.
Rum chose the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Juniper picked the Mantis-Mantis Fruit.
Vodka chose the Red Spider-Spider Fruit.
Champagne chose the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Since you've made your choice, then eat it!"
"Yes, Noah for your kindness, Lord Noah."
Everyone eagerly ate the fruit, and although the taste was indescribable, none of them left a single piece of fruit. This was a family rule and a reflection of their awareness.
Noah was quite optimistic about the fruit chosen by everyone.
These fruits are all relatively geared towards intelligence systems. Whether it's the Paste-Paste Fruit's ability to penetrate everywhere, the Nine-Tailed Fox's ability to mimic transformations, the Rattlesnake's infrared sensing, the Mantis's environmental sensing, the Mantis's camouflage and flight, or the Fluttering's flight and storage compression, all of these can be applied to intelligence theft.
After eating the fruit, Noah gave them some pointers on how to develop their abilities.
Although apart from the Paste-Paste Fruit and the Glint-Glint Fruit, the others are all Zoan, this does not mean that there are no other development ideas for Zoan.
For example, Rattlesnake Fruit, as a snake, shares common characteristics such as infrared sensing, hibernation for survival, molting, and toxins.
The skin-shedding characteristic can be rapidly enhanced by taking Origin Blood Potion specially developed by the family.
For example, the red spider is characterized by rapid reproduction, speed, concealment, and gregariousness. It is also quite strong and has the ability to spin silk.
In conclusion, every species has its unique characteristics, and even Standard Zoan Zoan species can sometimes become very powerful; the key is to find their unique traits.
As for Devil Fruit Awakening, Awakening Zoan Devil Fruit is a relatively easy yet extremely dangerous process.
The reason lies in the ease with which the ability is Awakening. This ease of Awakening means that the user's training is insufficient, and their inner resolve may not be strong enough, thus allowing the information from the Devil Fruit to take over during the Awakening process.
Therefore, Noah solemnly reminded everyone to pay attention to training and strengthening their willpower, so as to avoid being Awakening a failed beast by the fruit's information body when the Devil Fruit Awakening.
As for the Paramecia Paste-Paste Fruit and Glint-Glint Fruit, Noah had already envisioned a whole host of development directions in the " Book of Devils." Sherry and Rum only needed to apply to browse the " Book of Devils " to develop them according to the ideas outlined therein.
Since Noah was there, Sherry and Rum were able to directly obtain the original copy of the " Book of Devils ".
Rum turned to the section about the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Noah has already experimented with various methods of extracting the power from himself to develop the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Therefore, the Book of Devils contains a very detailed account of the development of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Rum quickly mastered the various derivative abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit, and coupled with his existing mastery of dual-color Haki, his strength was approaching that of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
Sherry's Paste-Paste Fruit, a superhuman fruit, was largely developed based on Noah's ideas.
For example, combining Observation Haki with pseudo- Elementalization, non-Newtonian fluid defense, gel shaping, and gel fusion.
Among them, the gel series has the greatest potential. Although the Devil Fruit User cannot create paste gel, she herself is paste gel.
This means that ability users can transform, change shape, and combine by turning their bodies into a paste.
On the training field, the moment Sherry was hit by a prisoner, she instantly turned into a puddle of paste. The paste then stuck to the prisoner's body like superglue and quickly spread, covered, and enveloped his entire body.
The prisoner soon suffocated to death because his mouth and nose were blocked with paste.
However, Sherry remained attached to the prisoner's corpse and could still control him to perform various actions.
Noah was standing nearby, offered a suggestion. "Even if an ordinary person's body is combined, it won't increase their strength by much. However, you can ask Luo to help modify some special materials."
" Noah your guidance, Lord Noah."
The Paste-Paste Fruit itself isn't particularly powerful offensively, but those cyborgs can be fitted with all sorts of things. With Law, the Devil Fruit User of the Op-Op Fruit, human modification technology is practically a piece of cake.
"However, you'd better not control too many cyborgs at once. After all, the Paste-Paste Fruit isn't Puppet-Puppet Fruit; two or three is practically your limit."
"Yes, I'll be careful." Sherry naturally knew the limits of her abilities. Unless she could Devil Fruit Awakening powers, controlling two or three cyborgs would be almost her limit.
With the Noah Family's current technological accumulation, it is still possible to use relatively powerful pirates as test subjects, remove their frontal lobes, and use various drugs to accelerate their growth and enhance them, creating dozens of Rear Admiral- level cyborgs with a lifespan of only about 10 years.
If the original strength of the test subject is relatively high, the modified human can even reach the level of Vice Admiral.
However, after the frontal lobe of such a cyborg is removed, he is basically a simpleton, and it is difficult for him to even execute basic commands. He can only be controlled by a combination similar to the Paste-Paste Fruit or the graphene wires of the Graphite-Graphite Fruit.
Both its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.
After the distribution of the fruits, the Distillery executives underwent a month of training on York Island before returning to the Seas and the Grand Line.
Just then, news came from the Gambino Family, prompting Noah to set sail once more.
