One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 842 Three Devil Fruits
"Ah! A great harvest!"

Yamato stood on the deck of the Catapult, waving his captain's hat and shouting loudly, like a fisherman going out to sea to fish. At this time, behind the Catapult was a merchant ship being towed by a steel cable, and the various treasures on the ship showed how rich the harvest of Yamato and others was.

"There are so many good things here, from money to various treasures, as well as various precious crafts, and even three devil fruits. It's a pity that there are no precious swords."

Bucky, who had just rummaged through it, said.

"What's even more unfortunate is that there isn't any good wine. I remember there was a barrel of Fire Festival rum from eighty years ago among the auction items. What a pity, it seems to have been broken in the riot. I wanted to try it."

Shanks scratched his head helplessly. Fire Festival Rum! It was a specialty of the Fire Island that had disappeared for decades. It was used for sacrifices at the annual Fire Festival. Every barrel could be sold at a high price. It was said that after drinking this kind of wine, it felt as if the body was filled with fire. He really wanted to try it. After all, the brewing method of this kind of wine had been lost. It was the type that you drank less and less.

"Don't say so much for now, Yamato! What are the three devil fruits?"

Bucky asked.

"One is a superhuman weapon fruit, one is an animal-type cat-cat fruit - black panther form, and the other is an ancient griffin fruit."

Yamato said while comparing her notes. She did not have such a good memory and could not remember the appearance of each fruit, but she drew down the appearances of the fruits that she could remember. After careful comparison, she finally found the name of the last devil fruit. It was originally classified as a mythical beast, but later after a living griffin was discovered, it was turned into an ancient species of griffin fruit. The little story behind the name of the fruit made Yamato feel very interesting.

"Griffin Fruit? Shanks! How is it? Do you want to try it? It comes with your sword."

Buggy said as he elbowed Shanks twice.

"No, I still don't like eating devil fruits."

Shanks said, shaking his head quickly.

"So, which fruit are you going to give to that little girl?"

Buggy didn't ask any more questions. In fact, they didn't like to eat devil fruits, but he made a mistake back then and regretted it for the rest of his life.

"Let's see what she wants. Anyway, without the mythical beast species, the two fruits don't matter. But Baby-5 seems to like the weapon fruit."

Yamato touched her chin and said that she was considering whether to give the weapon fruit to Baby-5. It was not that she was reluctant. Even Kuina and the others, whom she had just known for a short time, gave a devil fruit to Baby-5 without hesitation. There was nothing she couldn't give to Baby-5. It was just that their initial idea was to find a fruit that could better improve Baby-5's physical fitness, that is, an animal-type fruit, because Baby-'s physical fitness was not that good, and they hoped to make up for it.

"Give it to her if she likes it. After all, people choose devil fruits, and devil fruits choose people. It's not easy to meet a devil fruit that suits you."

Shanks saw Yamato's hesitation and said, in Shanks' opinion, unless absolutely necessary, physical fitness can actually be trained, but devil fruits suitable for oneself are rare. Anyway, following Yamato and the others, there is no shortage of delicacies to eat, and the nutrition of the meat of those sea kings is enough to supplement Baby-5's physical condition. Moreover, at Baby-5's age, there is enough time to correct it. It is not an imminent situation like Kuina's.

"Okay, since you all said so, let Baby-5 try. Anyway, Zhizhi is here. Although it will be a little painful, we can still get it out for her if necessary."

Yamato told a big secret nonchalantly, and then in an instant, Buggy flashed in front of Yamato, his eyes as big as copper bells.

"You just said! The devil fruit can be taken out!!!" Buggy shouted.

At the same time, in Shimotsuki Village, Kuina started another day of training. When she learned from her father how precious the Devil Fruit was, she even considered giving it up. After all, she really couldn't want such a precious thing. However, Hiyori forcefully dissuaded her from the idea.

"I am a Devil Fruit user. This kind of thing is not valuable. Don't take it too seriously. Don't you want to prove your strength? Then don't worry about this or that. My sister and the others have gone to look for Devil Fruits. They will be back soon. What you should do now is not to think about whether you can get it or not, but to train yourself! Only then can you be worthy of that Devil Fruit! Do you understand?"

Just like that, at Yamato's urging, Kuina once again devoted herself to training, and Hiyori inherited Kaido and Lily's training skills very well, and was hundreds of times stronger than Xia Ji when she first started. While making gradual progress, she was also testing Kuina's limits every day. Zoro, who had dinner at Kuina's house these days, found that Kuina's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and Koshiro was very happy about this. He repeatedly stated that if you want to become a strong man, being able to eat is the key. Almost every strong man is a big eater. Even in the past, Koshiro, who had always stayed away from the kitchen, began to cook every day. Although the dishes may not be so delicious, the main feature of the large amount of food is that they are served on the table, so that Kuina and Zoro, who are exhausted every day, get sufficient energy replenishment. Even Hiyori and Jack said that the food made by Koshiro is really good.

"Run! Run faster!"

Hiyori's voice came from a distance, and from time to time there was the sound of a blade cutting through the air. These sounds made Zoro twitch his mouth. He had always thought that his training was very hard, but now it seems that it was not enough.

"Zoro, your mission today is both simple and difficult. I am not a swordsman, so I cannot teach you any powerful sword techniques. The only thing I can teach you is physical strength. I have been testing your physical condition over the past few days. In general, you are strong and powerful at your age, but you lack control over your strength. Your strength exceeds that of an average adult male, but it is obvious that you cannot control your strength."

Jack said to Zoro that in addition to training these two days, he also watched Zoro's sparring in the kendo gym. The violent double swords did make it difficult for the opponent to resist, but after the fight, the opponent fell down and his bamboo sword was almost useless. This was obviously not a real fighting method.

"So, what do I need to train for?"

Zoro didn't dare to underestimate Jack at all. The huge rock that he had difficulty pushing was lifted up by Jack with just his fingers. From that moment on, Zoro put away all his contempt and followed Jack's training seriously.

"I am also very strong. I used to be like you, unable to control my strength. Yamato, Maria, and the three of us were all like this. We accidentally crushed cups. During training, we swung our weapons too hard, causing damage to the weapons themselves. So, I want to train you to control your strength."

As Jack spoke, he picked up a stone from beside him, and then smashed it hard on the boulder next to him. Under Jack's terrifying power, the boulder was instantly smashed into pieces, but the magical thing was that there was nothing wrong with the stone in Jack's hand. Logically, the stone should have been shattered.

"Amazing!"

This move made Zoro's eyes widen, and he couldn't help but say that although he didn't know much, he also knew that the effect of force was mutual. And now, Jack could actually control the power so well, which was truly extraordinary.

"Very good, it seems you understand what I mean. Next, let's start training. Do you have the real sword you were asked to bring?"

Jack nodded with satisfaction. Zoro's comprehension was higher than his. When Kaido demonstrated this move, he was only paying attention to the stone that was broken into pieces.

"I have them!" Zoro said as he took out the two swords he had prepared long ago.

"Very good, then let's start training. Your goal is to swing the sword, but not to cut the newspaper."

As Jack spoke, he took out a large stack of newspapers, and Koshiro, who was standing not far from the two of them, narrowed his eyes.
