The most courageous pirate hunter

Even without witnessing it firsthand, Hermes could see everything clearly with his all-weather Observation Haki. The same was true for Mansherry, whose Observation Haki was already somewhat special. After eating the Forest Fruit, her Observation Haki completely evolved, and now she can hear all kinds of sounds.

It's like listening to the voice of all things.

This little piece of trash has finally received an epic buff.

"Hahaha~"

From afar, Burgess's arrogant laughter could be heard, followed by Hody Jones and others hurling insults. By the time they sat down at the table, they were all bruised and battered.

No one is innocent.

"Boss, what Devil Fruit do you think would suit me?"

"Damn it, Burgess is too strong now."

Everyone seemed to be stimulated and eager to eat the second Devil Fruit.

They were both defeated by Burgess's fists in a one-on-one fight. That power was simply beyond human capabilities. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no one in this ocean stronger than Burgess.

"Mansherry, please treat my back pain!"

"Get lost, you won't die anyway!"

Mansherry was furious; she had just had to set the table several times because of these guys.

"Did you eat gunpowder in the middle of the night?"

"Boss, the second Devil Fruit smells amazing."

Both Tesoro and Lucci had a look of longing in their eyes. They hadn't cared much before, and weren't in a hurry, just letting things take their course.

After fighting Burgess, I must eat the second Devil Fruit, and the sooner the better.

Although the Monarchy appears harmonious internally, no one is truly willing to submit to anyone else. Now, Bages has fallen too far behind and must catch up or surpass him as soon as possible.

One step behind can lead to being behind at every step.

After all, eating the second Devil Fruit still requires further development and refinement.

"There are too many Devil Fruits on this ocean, so my advice may not be correct. However, the second Devil Fruit must complement the first one, otherwise there is no need to eat it."

"It mainly depends on yourselves."

Hermes slumped on a soft chair like a lump of mud.

"Boss, what do you say?"

"Let's take a look."

Guyram couldn't think of what to eat with his second Devil Fruit, since he hadn't even awakened the Cube Fruit yet.

"Let's start with Guyram."

Hermes straightened up, thought for a moment, and continued, "The Cube Fruit is undoubtedly very powerful and has a wide range of abilities. The most basic one is that it can transform any object, including air, into a cube shape and move and stack it."

If you want to make a tiger even more powerful, you would undoubtedly want to increase its destructive power.

Therefore, I recommend the Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit, the lifelong ability of Marine Admiral Fujitora. Combining this Devil Fruit with it should make things much more efficient.

of course.

The Gravity Fruit is just a suggestion, and it may not necessarily be a good match for the Magic Cube Fruit. There are just too many Devil Fruits, and I can't think of any better ones right now.

In Hermes's vision.

If Guyram were to eat the Gravity Fruit, then throwing things would be like sending meteors, and the air bombs he creates would be filled with gravity.

Furthermore, the Gravity Fruit he uses throughout his life allows him to manipulate the strength and direction of gravity at will, such as lateral gravity, zero gravity, anti-gravity, and even pressure, tension, repulsion, attraction, and so on.

Most importantly, it will also be of great use to future interstellar travel.

"That's a pretty good option."

"let me see!"

Guyram frowned in thought. If he didn't encounter any other Devil Fruits he liked in the future, then he would have no choice but to choose this Gravity Fruit.

"Lucci, have you decided on a second Devil Fruit?"

Hermes bypassed Hody Jones, who was watching the spectacle, and turned his gaze to Lucci.

"not yet."

Lucci had a cold expression and didn't seem to have much interest in the second Devil Fruit, but after his battle with Burgess, he had developed a strong interest in it.

There's still no clue.

“Your current abilities are very comprehensive. Close combat is your fighting style, and your mastery of life return far surpasses that of others, so I suggest you focus on defense.”

Hermes felt that having a Devil Fruit would be very suitable for Lucci.

"defense?"

"Boss, this guy is getting really hard to kill. Zoan-types are really tough."

Everyone sneered. If we were to talk about who had the best endurance among those present, it would undoubtedly be Lucci.

"It's tough enough, but it can still be troublesome when it comes to some difficult abilities. After all, it's not like Burgess, whose strength is outstanding. Sometimes being too well-rounded is both an advantage and a disadvantage."

"Boss, just tell me!"

Lucci was still very curious about the second Devil Fruit Hermes had chosen for him.

"You'll probably have to discuss this with Tesoro."

"Discuss it with me?"

Everyone was a little confused, and Tesoro was especially surprised.

"Do you have a user with the ability to 'penetrate' under your command?"

As soon as Hermes finished speaking, everyone present understood.

"Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?"

"This Devil Fruit sounds very ordinary."

"He's just a subordinate; we can give him up without a second thought."

"Boss, what's so special about the Pierce-Pierce Fruit?"

Lucci glanced at Tesoro first, then looked at Hermes. If this Devil Fruit was really suitable for him, he would get his hands on it no matter what.

We can always make up for Tezzolo's losses elsewhere.

"It can penetrate all non-living things!"

"Any Devil Fruit becomes powerful through development. Imagine, when this Devil Fruit is developed to its fullest extent, could it ignore any attack, and even penetrate living beings?"

"Like a ghost? Essentially, it has no physical form!"

Mansherry chimed in, as if she were someone who had seen a lot.

"If that's the case, with Lucci's close-quarters combat skills, the enemy can't hit him, but he can attack the enemy. That's too unfair."

"The enemy will become a sitting duck."

"That would make Lucci even harder to kill."

"It seems so, it's equivalent to ignoring all attacks."

With everyone chiming in, they increasingly felt that this Devil Fruit was incredibly overpowered.

"It's a waste that your subordinate ate this Devil Fruit. They didn't develop the Pass-Pass Fruit at all, making it practically useless."

There are so many powerful Devil Fruits on this ocean. Some have been developed to a terrible degree, while others have been developed to the highest level from an ordinary Devil Fruit.

It really depends on the person.

"Let's talk about it later."

Without a doubt, Lucci was tempted by this Devil Fruit. If he could really develop it, then all other powers would be nothing to him.

What's the point if you can't hit anyone?

On the contrary, he can hit others at will.

"Hahaha~"

"If you want to take it yourself, that's fine. He's just a subordinate."

Tesoro suddenly burst into laughter. He was a selfish person by nature, and Tanaka was just one of his many subordinates. Ever since Stella's death, he had known that power and money were everything.

He couldn't possibly offend Lucci over a mere, easily discarded subordinate and make things too ugly. Besides, that man had just said that it would be a waste for Tanaka to eat the Chuan Chuan Fruit, making him practically useless.

The big shots have already hinted at it.

He'll still be working in the Imperial Organization from now on.

With the world on the verge of dominating and even interstellar travel, even a fool would know what to do.

"it is good!"

Lucci didn't say much, but he kept this favor in mind.
