"Whoosh~"
A flash of lightning appeared in the office, and Tesoro's figure appeared in front of Roy.
"You brought it?"
"Um!"
Tesoro opened his hand, revealing the poison that Vera had been researching.
"Let's begin!"
Roy clapped his hands, and a huge Seastone chest appeared on the office floor.
Tesoro didn't waste any more words and directly picked up the three members of the Kurozumi Family in the corner, injecting the potion into their bodies one by one.
They then threw the three of them into the Seastone box.
Roy followed suit, instantly enveloping the Seastone with his mental energy.
Ten minutes later, the monitoring device showed that the three Kurozumi Family had completely lost their vital signs.
As Roy withdrew his mental energy shield, Tesoro eagerly opened the Seastone chest.
Sure enough, the three Devil Fruit lay quietly among a pile of fruit.
"Boss! This is a good haul, three more fruits in!"
Tesoro placed the three Devil Fruit on Roy's office desk.
"It's really good!"
Roy opened his eyes, put away the three fruits, stood up, and walked to a hidden door in the corner of the office.
He raised his hand, activating the power of the Telekinesis Fruit.
An invisible spiritual force probed into the lock of the hidden door, precisely activating the internal mechanism.
Click.
The hidden door slid open silently, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
Roy stepped inside, and the hidden door slowly closed behind him.
At the end of the stairs was a heavily guarded underground chamber.
This is a "treasure trove" that Roy built specifically to store his most precious treasures.
Devil Fruit, Famous Sword, ancient documents, and rare treasures plundered from all over the world are all stored here.
Roy stood in the center of the vault, his gaze sweeping over the rows of specially made display shelves around him.
On these display shelves are transparent, sealed containers, each containing a Devil Fruit of various shapes and sizes.
Roy's thoughts shifted slightly, and ripples appeared in the storage bag.
He took out the three Devil Fruit extracted from the three members of the Kurozumi Family one by one and placed them into three empty containers.
All three fruits were successfully obtained.
Roy looked at the three fruits in the container, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Barrier-Barrier Fruit.
Snake-Snake Fruit - Yamata no Orochi Form.
And the Clone-Clone Fruit on Kurozumi Higurashi's body.
Each of these three fruits is priceless.
The Barrier-Barrier Fruit, touted as an absolute defense, is not invincible against him.
But for most people, it's already a dream come true.
Yamata no Orochi Form, Mythical Zoan. Although Kurozumi Orochi, that good-for-nothing, failed to develop his true potential, the ceiling of this fruit is extremely high.
The eight heads represent eight lives, and... the elemental power that each head possesses.
The Clone-Clone Fruit allows one to perfectly mimic anyone's appearance, physique, voice, and even aura, making it a top-tier ability for infiltration, assassination, and espionage.
These three fruits will become one of the most precious parts of his collection.
Roy's gaze swept across the entire vault.
Rows of display shelves were already filled with Devil Fruit.
We began to take stock of everything one by one.

Total: 18 Devil Fruit.
Among them, there are 4 Mythical Zoan, 12 Paramecia, and 2 Ancient Zoan.
Each one is a top-tier resource that could drive any pirate crew mad.
Looking at his collection, Roy felt a surge of satisfaction.
These fruits form a solid foundation for the future development of Hachinosu.
They can be distributed to newly joined strong members, or used as rewards to motivate the warriors under their command.
It can be used as a bargaining chip in transactions with various forces, or it can be used as a trump card to play a crucial role at the most critical moment.
With these achievements, Hachinosu will have a more abundant talent pool and its core combat capabilities will be more solid.
Roy took a deep breath, turned, and left the vault.
The hidden door slowly closed behind them, sealing the precious fruits in the darkness.
Back in his office, Roy sat down behind his desk.
He pondered for a moment, then took a black notebook from the drawer.
Opening the notebook, I saw it densely filled with various notes, some crossed out to indicate they were completed;
Some are still kept, waiting to be realized in the future.
Roy picked up his pen and wrote on a new page:
Current target list:
1. Searching for " Pure Gold " - the legendary eternal gold that can grant its holder a lifespan of near immortality.
The topic of immortality has always been incredibly alluring to humankind.
This is also the only thing Roy knows in the pirate world besides the Op-Op Fruit that can grant immortality.
However, to obtain the Pure Gold, you first need to find the giant lanternfish that swallowed Pure Gold.
Fortunately, Roy has a good relationship with Fish-Man Island, and Fisher Tiger and the others are currently stationed on Hachinosu. Whenever they have time, they can be asked to find out the location of the lanternfish.
Given the Fish-Man's advantage in the ocean, finding a Sea Kings shouldn't be difficult.
2. Continue to seek potential partners – The power of Hachinosu is expanding, and it needs more strong individuals who can stand alone.
The New World is vast and boundless, and countless hidden masters await discovery.
Especially those who will join the Blackbeard Pirates in the future, if they can be intercepted in advance...
3. To devise a plan to capture Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach – this man has a special physique, suspected of possessing "alien" genes, capable of simultaneously containing the power of multiple Devil Fruit.
If Dr. Gracia can uncover the secrets of his constitution, perhaps a way can be found to allow ordinary people to consume the second fruit.
At that time, my strength and that of the core members will leap forward once again.
Roy stopped writing, looked at the third line, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Blackbeard...
The man who stirred up trouble in the original story and eventually became one of the Four Emperors.
Right now, he's just an ordinary member of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, unknown and hiding his ambitions.
But his physical condition is a unique secret in this world.
If we could capture him and uncover that secret...
Roy's lips curled into a cold smile.
Of course, we can't take action now.
Blackbeard is still under Whitebeard's protection. To mess with Whitebeard's men is tantamount to declaring war on the strongest man.
He still needs to wait.
