Roy drew his sword Shusui, and aimed the tip at the joint of the wooden planks.
With a slight flick of the wrist, the entire wooden board was lifted.
Click.
With a soft click, a hidden compartment the size of a shoebox appeared behind the wall.
"Wow, this is something!"
Tesoro's eyes lit up.
Carefully remove the sphere wrapped in black velvet.
Roy took the ball, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite heavy.
Unbutton the buttons and slowly peel back the velvet fabric.
A fruit, entirely deep blue and covered with spiral patterns, lay quietly in the velvet cloth.
The fruit's shape somewhat resembles an enlarged plum.
The outer skin, however, is a dark, almost rock-like grayish-brown.
At the top of the fruit, there is a blurry bulge resembling human facial features, which looks both crying and laughing, carrying a strange sense of comicality and vicissitude.
" Devil Fruit..." Tesoro murmured, a hint of curiosity flickering in his eyes.
"Boss, judging from the patterns and colors, it doesn't seem to be a typical Zoan or Paramecia. Could it be...?"
It should be Mythical Zoan.
Roy weighed the fruit in his hand, already having made up his mind, observing its shape and characteristics.
It should be the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Onyudo Form that the fox ate in the original work (giant size, super strength, and an image similar to " Onyudo," which is a giant monster in Japanese folklore).
"Huh?! Really?" Tesoro exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it Mythical Zoan like Bullet and Pea?"
"It should be."
Roy wrapped the fruit again in the velvet cloth and put it in his pocket.
"Alright, go back and compare it with the fruit encyclopedia, then you'll know."
Let's leave here first.
Tesoro nodded, and the two left the cabin without lingering, soaring into the sky.
In the night sky, Roy glanced back at the cemetery that was gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.
This haul far exceeded expectations; not only did they obtain the Black Blade Shusui, but they also unexpectedly found this Devil Fruit, which is suspected to Mythical Zoan.
"Where to next, boss?"
Roy pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Let's go back to Onigashima and wait for Kaido to return."
"Once things are settled with Kaido, you can come to the Wano Country mainland whenever you want."
"All right!"
Tesoro said no more, and the two of them soared through the sky, tearing through the night wind and clouds, speeding towards Onigashima!
It was still dark.
Roy and Tesoro silently climbed into the room through the window.
Inside the room, Bullet sat cross-legged in the center, eyes closed, resting.
Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, then closed them again to continue his cultivation.
Roy gestured for Tesoro to be quiet, and the two returned to their respective beds.
Roy took out the Devil Fruit from his pocket and, by the faint moonlight streaming in from the window, examined it carefully once more.
Take out the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia from the storage bag.
Quickly flip to the section on Mythical Zoan and begin the comparison.
" Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Onyudo Form..."
Roy's finger stopped on a page of the encyclopedia.
"Yes, that's it."
Roy closed the encyclopedia and placed the fruit together with the other fruits.
Roy lay in bed, deep in thought.
"Currently, I have four Devil Fruit in my collection: ( Paramecia Combine-Combine Fruit, Paramecia Arms-Arms Fruit, and Paramecia Hollow-Hollow Fruit )."
"Plus, I just acquired the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Onyudo Form."
" Roy sees all four Devil Fruits as having immense potential, but most of his crew members are currently Devil Fruit User,"
"The remaining two, Hawk Eyes and Charon, won't eat Devil Fruit."
"It seems we need to find a few more promising crew members."
The next morning, everyone gradually woke up.
Roy briefly told everyone about last night's haul and then showed them Shusui.
" Black Blade?!"
Having changed into Wano Country attire, Hawk Eyes took the Shusui and examined it carefully, his fingers gently tracing the blade, feeling the sword intent and Haki marks of its forging.
"How about it?"
"Excellent."
Hawk Eyes handed the knife back to Roy.
"This is already a fully forged Black Blade, however,"
"Perhaps it's been too long, the 'spirit' within the knife seems to have become somewhat dormant."
"Yes, I will gently nurture it and help it regain its luster."
Roy took the Shusui Shusui sword, sheathed it, nodded, and then glanced at Hawk Eyes, who was dressed as a samurai.
Are you going now? Do you need me to give you a ride?
"No need. Onigashima isn't far from the Wano Country; I can get there using Geppo."
You should stay here and hold the line; Kaido might be back anytime soon.
"All right."
As everyone was talking, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Knock knock--."
Tesoro opened the door, and King appeared outside, followed by a group of pirates, each carrying a tray filled with various foods.
Please use it.
Jin waved his hand, signaling his men to fill the table with food. His gaze swept over the Shusui at Roy's waist, and his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
Roy noticed these details but didn't point them out.
"When will Kaido return?" Bullet asked directly.
Three days.
"The Governor is on his way back."
"Three days... okay." Roy nodded. "Then we'll be staying here for the next three days."
Upon hearing Roy's answer, Jhin nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Hawk Eyes, who was dressed as a samurai.
"This..."
Don't worry.
Roy pointed at Black Blade Yoru behind Hawk Eyes.
" Mihawk is a pure swordsman. Having come to this land of warriors, he naturally wants to spar with the warriors here."
"It won't cause any trouble."
Hearing Roy's explanation, Jhin could only nod helplessly.
It's because Kaido isn't here; there's no one on Onigashima who can keep the Roy Pirates in check.
Jin nodded to everyone and left the room.
Meanwhile, in a room on Onigashima, Jack, the " King of Docking Ships " who had been knocked unconscious by Bullet, had woken up.
Beside him, a tall, blond-haired girl, only 15 or 16 years old, with two long pink horns on her head, was being dressed by the Black Maria.
" Jack, who hit you? You're so badly injured!"
Ouch—it hurts!
Jack slapped Maria's large hand away, sat up with a grimace, and the image of Bullet's hateful smile flashed through his mind.
"That bastard... I'll never forgive him!"
In a corner of the room, several children of similar age were gathered together.
With long purple hair and a stern face, Page One (12 years old) crossed his arms.
"They knocked you out with one punch, Jack. Are you sure you want revenge?"
"Yes, yes, Jack, you were knocked out in no time. I think you should stop calling yourself Kaido's All-Stars and just give him to me."
"Isn't that right, Little Page!"
