Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Killing ordinary people for the sake of a mission clearly cannot be categorized as innocent.

Hypocritical and misguided justice is more intolerable and causes greater destruction than pure evil!

"So that's why you spared their lives?"

Robin suddenly realized and asked, "Does the captain want to steal their Devil Fruits for Nami to use?"

Rocks shook his head: "These two's Devil Fruits are not suitable for Nami. I have a Devil Fruit that is more suitable for Nami in my mind..."

"The Great White Pig Fruit? NO!"

Nami was immediately taken aback.

With her arms crossed in a gesture of refusal, she said, "I only want fruits like angels or goddesses. Only those kinds of Devil Fruits are worthy of Miss Nami!"

Locus: "..."

"Where am I supposed to find you Devil Fruits like angels and goddesses? Their existence is questionable!"

"In short, I'm not eating the Great White Pig Fruit!"

Nami also didn't have any expectations for the Devil Fruit she mentioned.

But the Great White Pig Fruit is Dami.

She would rather die than eat it.

The thought of a "piggy girl" gave her goosebumps...

Nami suddenly remembered something; it seemed like she hadn't seen the Great White Pig Fruit in a long time: "Sigh, speaking of which, where is that Great White Pig Fruit?"

Lox casually remarked, "It broke after I used it for experiments..."

He didn't want to reveal that he could devour other Devil Fruits.

It's not that I don't trust these companions.

Rather, there's no need to say it.

The fact that killing ability users could lead to the plundering of their abilities is itself an absurd thing.

If the fact that he can become stronger by consuming Devil Fruits is exposed...

He may become the target of public criticism.

World governments and navies may mobilize all their forces.

Im might even have to personally "descend to earth" to eliminate this destabilizing factor.

With so many people around, it's easy to let something slip and be overheard by outsiders.

Let's just leave Rocks out of the picture...

"It's...it's broken?"

Nami immediately showed a grief-stricken expression: "That's a Devil Fruit worth 100 million Berries! You're such a spendthrift, Xiao Luo!"

"It's not a waste..."

Lox chuckled and changed the subject: "One was broken, but now we have two more. Overall, we've made a profit."

"Since you possess this ability, Captain, doesn't that mean..."

Robin then considered another possibility: "You also have Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit?"

"It's definitely here with me."

Rocks nodded: "However, I also felt that the Sand-Sand Fruit was not very suitable for Nami, so I kept it in my room."

Nami pouted: "I clearly think the Logia type suits me better. I bet you're just stingy and have a collecting habit!"

She had previously suggested that Rocks give her the Sand-Sand Fruit, which would grant her some self-defense and combat abilities.

The request was rejected.

This made her very unhappy.

She wants to become stronger!

"In short, the Sand-Sand Fruit is not suitable for you. It has too many obvious weaknesses. I will find you a better one later. If I can't find one, then I will give you the Sand-Sand Fruit."

Rocks wanted Nami to eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

However, this is just a hypothetical scenario at the moment, and I cannot guarantee anything.

We'll have to wait until we get to Skypiea and meet Enel...

Nami asked curiously, "What's better?"

"Hedgehog Fruit? It suits your angry, bristling appearance perfectly."

"...Die!"

"..."

After "suppressing" Nami once again, Rocks and his crew quickly arrived at a deserted place...

He casually tossed the unconscious Lucci and Bruno to the ground.

This throw brought Lucci back to his senses.

Realizing his and Bruno's predicament, Lucci stared at Locke and said in a deep voice, "Trying to get some information out of us?"

"Don't even think about it, Black-haired Swordsman."

"I'm not interested in the so-called information you're talking about. The reason I haven't killed you now is because you still have some use..."

Rocks glanced at Lucci.

Taking the fruit from Xiao Yi, Rocks flicked his finger and released a projectile that pierced Bruno's forehead...

Bruno followed Hanafuda, Kaku, and Kalifa, and died without pain...

The moment Bruno was brain dead, an invisible "being" floated out of his body.

Only Rocks could sense it...

'Om! '

Rocks made his move instantly.

One grab, one press.

The invisible substance was gently pressed onto the fruit.

There seemed to be a slight sound coming from it.

Immediately afterwards, the shape of the fruit in Rocks' hand changed.

In the end, it became an oval-shaped, arch-like, light red Devil Fruit with spiral patterns...

Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit!

There was one successful experience.

The second attempt was also successful!

"That's right, this should be the Door-Door Fruit, right? It's fortunate that you were decisive, Kuina. If it were someone else, they might have gotten away."

Rocks smiled as he looked at the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit in his hand.

The Door-Door Fruit is a pretty good ability.

The fact that it can open portals is very useful.

Someone with a wildly imaginative mind said in a past life.

The Eight Gates Formation is also a gate.

After eating the Door-Door Fruit, one can open the Eight Gates Formation in the One Piece world...

It's a bit nonsensical, but it's an acknowledgment of the Door-Door Fruit's power.

"How did you do that?"

As Rocks made his move, Ikko unleashed his full Observation Haki.

However, he did not sense anything unusual: "I did not sense anything unusual..."

"My Blackwing Demon can sense the 'devilish nature' of Devil Fruits, which is why I was able to capture them."

Rocks said, "By simply pressing the 'devil essence' into an ordinary fruit, I can bring a Devil Fruit back to life in my hands."

Yi Xiao understood: "I see? The ability itself?"

Devil Fruits are magical things in themselves.

It's not surprising that any new abilities will emerge.

He had even heard of it.

Even Devil Fruits that grant immortality exist.

The ability to grasp the "devil, essence" of a Devil Fruit is not impossible.

"Is it that easy?"

Nami was surprised when she saw Rocks' ability for the first time: "It looks so easy, just grab and press, and a Devil Fruit is created?"

Robin considered something else: "A terrifying ability... if the world knew about it, they might become hostile towards you, Captain, especially Devil Fruit users..."

Little Yi blinked and joked, "Captain, you can't use this ability on us!"

"How could I use such an ability on cute little Yi?"

Lox chuckled and rubbed Little Yi's head: "I will only use this ability on enemies."

Xiao Yi chuckled: "Xiao Yi was just joking, Captain, don't be angry."

"..."

Lucci, who witnessed this scene firsthand, had his pupils shrink violently. Realizing how terrifying this ability was, his face darkened...

The black-haired swordsman actually possesses such a terrifying ability?

There is no pattern to the regeneration of Devil Fruits, and many scientists are studying the regeneration of Devil Fruits.

They want to find a way to capture Devil Fruits from Devil Fruit users and then recover some of the more powerful Devil Fruits.
