Crocodile successfully boarded the ship.
The Ark Maxim is sailing on its way to the South Blue.
Roy walked into the captain's cabin alone and closed the door behind him.
Next, let's take a look.
What exactly are the abilities of the three Devil Fruit brought back from Enies Lobby?
Roy rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and opened the first box.
The box was lined with soft black velvet, and a fruit covered with spiral patterns lay quietly in the center.
The fruit is pale golden in color.
The surface has dark patterns like cheetah spots, and the stem curves into an elegant arc, resembling a cheetah's tail.
" Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form..."
Using the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, Roy whispered the name of the fruit.
The image of Lucci transforming into a leopard-man in the original story flashed through my mind.
It has to be said that Lucci, the strongest CP in eight hundred years, is truly something else.
It's truly remarkable that someone with an ordinary Zoan could fight Luffy, who's practically a cheat code, to such an extent.
If Lucci, who has already mastered the Six Powers, were to eat a Devil Fruit with an even stronger power...
With the systematic training provided by the Roy Pirates, his potential might reach the level of Admiral.
Fortunately, Lucci hasn't eaten the fruit yet...
Roy seemed lost in thought.
In the original story, Lucci obtained the Devil Fruit after joining CP9, but history has now been altered.
This means the fruit can be rearranged.
Roy carefully placed the Cat-Cat Fruit back into the box and opened the second one.
This fruit has an even more peculiar shape--
It is long and narrow in shape, with a dark brown reticulated surface.
It looks exactly like giraffe skin.
The fruit stalk is slender and curved, with a few green leaves at the top, making it look like a giraffe is nibbling on leaves.
" Zoan, Horse-Horse Fruit, Giraffe Form."
Roy couldn't help but laugh.
The scene in the original work where Kaku eats this fruit is considered a classic.
The upright swordsman has been transformed into a comical giraffe-man, creating a striking contrast.
But Roy wouldn't underestimate this fruit.
Zoan Devil Fruit provide the most comprehensive boost to physical attributes of all Devil Fruit.
Although the giraffe's shape looks comical,
However, in combat, it provides amazing neck strength and kicking range.
If the Rankyaku from the Six Powers could be combined with the long legs of a giraffe, its power would probably double.
" Kaku's talent is also quite good; he had already mastered the advanced technique ' Amane Dachi ' of the Rankyaku Kick back in Enies Lobby."
Roy pondered.
Like Lucci, Kaku has not yet eaten a Devil Fruit.
This means Roy could choose to give the fruit to someone more suitable, or... leave it for Kaku himself.
after all,
Kaku's talent for swordsmanship and the Six Powers is indeed quite good.
If they can be recruited for our own use, they would be invaluable fighting force.
As Roy placed the Giraffe-Giraffe Fruit and reached for the third box,
Their breathing became slightly rapid.
If the first two fruits satisfied him, then the third one...
The moment the box was opened, Roy's eyes lit up.
The fruit is pale blue, and its surface is covered with silvery patterns resembling a door lock.
The stem part resembles a key, and the entire fruit exudes a faint metallic sheen.
Most remarkably, tiny ripples of space occasionally spread across the surface of the fruit, as if it were connected to another dimension.
Paramecia Fruit - Door-Door Fruit!
Roy picked up the fruit and examined it closely.
In the original work,
Blueno's exploitation of this fruit can only be described as a "waste of a precious resource."
While practical applications include simply opening doors, opening doors through the air, and opening doors on a person, these uses are still valuable.
But this is far from tapping into the true potential of this fruit.
"A space-type fruit..."
Roy muttered to himself, countless possibilities flashing through his mind in an instant.
The true power of the Door-Door Fruit is "to open a door anywhere and lead to anywhere".
This means --
It allows you to open doors in space, enabling instantaneous teleportation.
It is possible to open a door inside an object and destroy it from the inside.
The door can open within a certain time frame... wait, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.
But space and time are inherently inextricably linked.
Even conceptually, we can open a door—
Open the "Gate of Pain" to inflict pain on the enemy; open the "Gate of Healing" to heal wounds.
Open the "Gate of Memory" to read or modify memories...
Roy became more and more excited as he thought about it.
This fruit was a waste of talent in Blueno's hands, but in the hands of someone with a modern knowledge background...
Its impact will be revolutionary.
"But who should eat it?"
Roy fell into thought.
Most of the core members on the ship already possess Devil Fruit abilities: Hawk Eyes's swordsmanship, Bullet's White Tiger Fruit, Tesoro's Rumble-Rumble Fruit...
Among those without Devil Fruit powers, Kyros focused on swordsmanship.
Savi has Ancient Zoan abilities, Enel has the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Pea is a plant-based Devil Fruit user...
among newcomers,
Crocodile possesses the Sand-Sand Fruit, Lucci and the others haven't fully subdued yet...
"Perhaps, it can be left to a future partner."
Roy ultimately decided to keep the fruit for the time being.
He walked to the safe in the corner of the captain's cabin and entered the complex password.
The heavy metal door slowly opened.
The safe has a large interior space, divided into several compartments.
Roy placed the three newly acquired Devil Fruit inside, along with several other precious fruits.
First type: Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard form.
Second panel: Zoan, Horse-Horse Fruit, Giraffe form.
Third type: Paramecia -type Door-Door Fruit, Paramecia -type Clone-Clone Fruit.
Fourth type: Paramecia - Arms-Arms Fruit.
Fifth category: Paramecia - Combine-Combine Fruit.
Sixth type: Zoan, Mythical Zoan, Onyudo Fruit - A legendary monster fruit that allows the user to transform into a giant monk from Japanese legend, possessing the ability to manipulate rocks and the earth.
Seventh type: Paramecia- type Ghost- Hollow-Hollow Fruit - Able to generate Negative Hollow, causing those who come into contact with them to fall into an extremely negative state, with remarkable effects against mental attacks.
Looking at these precious Devil Fruit, Roy felt a surge of accomplishment.
These are all items he has collected over the years through various means, and each one has unique value.
In particular, the Door-Door Fruit, in Roy's view, has a strategic value that is no less than that of some Logia.
" Lucci, Kaku..."
Roy's gaze fell on the Giraffe-Giraffe Fruit.
There's also Kaku, who combines the Six Powers with a giraffe form.
Should I give it to him...?
"Forget it, we can't rush things."
Roy reminded himself.
Lucci and his companions have just been rescued from the World Government's brainwashing and need time to adapt to their new environment and understanding.
Giving them powerful Devil Fruit abilities too early might backfire.
"First, lay a solid foundation, and then wait until they are fully integrated into the team."
Let's consider the issue of the fruit again.
Roy closed the safe and locked it again.
It was already dark when I stepped out of the captain's cabin.
The Ark Maxim flew steadily through the night sky, the sea below shimmering silver in the moonlight.
Roy went up to the deck and saw Crocodile sparring with Bullet.
