Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The fact that killing an ability user could lead to the theft of that ability user is itself an absurd thing.

If the fact that he can devour the Devil Fruit to become stronger is exposed...

He might become Xinggang.

World governments and navies may mobilize in large numbers.

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

With so many people around, it's easy to accidentally let something slip and have outsiders overhear.

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

"It's...broken?"

Nami immediately showed a sorrowful expression: "That's a Devil Fruit worth 100 million Berries! You're such a spendthrift, Lo!"

"It's not exactly a waste..."

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

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

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

"It's definitely here with me."

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

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

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

The application was rejected.

This made her very unhappy.

She wants to become stronger!

"In short, the 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 Fruit."

Rocks wanted Nami to eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

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

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

Nami asked curiously, "What's better?"

"Hedgehog nut? It matches 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 dream about that, 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 Little I, Rocks flicked his finger and sent out a phantom shot that pierced Bruno's forehead...

Bruno followed Hanafuda, Kaku, and Kalifa, and died peacefully in the underworld...

The moment Bruno was brain dead, an invisible "being" emerged from his body.

Only Rocks could sense it...

'Om! '

Rocks made his move instantly.

One grab, one press.

Gently press this intangible object onto the fruit.

It sounded as if a faint sound was heard.

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

In the end, it became an elliptical, arch-shaped, and spiral-patterned messy-colored devil fruit...

Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit!

There was one successful experience.

The second attempt was also successful!

"Not bad, this should be the Door Fruit, right? It's fortunate that you were decisive, Kuina. If it were someone else, they might have gotten away with it."

Looking at the Paramecia-type Door Fruit in his hand, Rocks laughed.

The Door Fruit is a pretty good ability.

The fact that it can open doors to different spaces 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 Fruit, you can activate the Eight Gates Formation at the Seaside Ridge...

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 have not sensed anything unusual..."

"My Blackwing Great Demon is able to sense the 'demon nature' of the Demon Fruit, which is why I was able to capture it."

Rocks said, “By pressing the ‘devil essence’ into an ordinary fruit, I can bring the Devil Fruit back to life in my hands.”

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

The Devil Fruit itself is a magical thing.

It's not surprising that any ability will emerge.

He had even heard about it.

Even the Devil Fruit that grants immortality exists.

The ability to grasp the "devil, essence" of the 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 the 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 this ability on cute little Yi?"

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

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

"..."

Lucci, who witnessed this scene firsthand, had his pupils shrink sharply. Realizing the terrifying power of this ability, his expression darkened...

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

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

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

The result was undoubtedly a failure.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have imprisoned so many ability users when they pushed into the city.

Letting them die naturally was to delay the reappearance of some powerful Devil Fruits in the sea.

To prevent these abilities from being devoured by those hostile to the World Government and the Navy...

The black-haired swordsman now possesses this ability?

The other party's threats were more terrifying than he had imagined.

They can mass-produce Devil Fruit users, something even the World Government can't do.

Just thinking about it is enough to fill one with fear!

"The World Government and the Navy have far too little understanding of the threat you pose, Black-haired Swordsman..."

Staring intently at the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit in Rocks' hand, Lucci said coldly, "However, you can't hide this ability forever. Once the World Government discovers it, there will only be one fate awaiting you."

"You and all your associates will die at the hands of the World Government!"

"Even at a point like this, you still dare to talk tough to me?"

Rocks couldn't help but chuckle: "You really are loyal to the World Government, you little brat, Lucci."

Lucci stared at Rocks, his voice heavy but still calm: "Even if I hadn't seen your ability, you wouldn't have let me go."

"My fate is already sealed, so I have no fear."

Lucci had already mentally prepared himself to die here: "The power of the World Government is beyond your imagination."

"As long as you are seen as a threat, the whole world will be your enemy..."

"I should know more about the power of the World Government than you do, so there's no need to say it out loud."

Rocks chuckled and said, "If I were afraid of the World Government, I wouldn't have gone to sea under the name 'Rocks'."

Lucci remained silent: "..."

Subconsciously, I recalled the "Eiichiro Oda" that the other person had mentioned before.

Is this someone who infiltrated the World Government?

I learned many of the hidden things about the World Government...

Unfortunately, he was unable to transmit this person's existence and the black-haired swordsman's ability back to the World Government...

"Now it's your turn. Although your abilities don't seem as good as the 'Master of All Trades' in my opinion, I'll accept it without hesitation..."

Rocks pointed.

The bullet pierced through Lucci's forehead.

Following Hanafuda, Kaku, Kalifa... well, this strongest member of CP9 in hundreds of years has also died!

Rocks then did the same thing, transferring the "devilish essence" of the Devil Fruit within the opponent's body onto another fruit...

Animal-type Cat Fruit - Leopard Form obtained.

Rocks entrusted the two Devil Fruits to Eeyore for safekeeping, and she carried a small backpack.

Then Lockes smiled at the others and said, "Let's go, let's continue to have some fun on the island."

"Once the Black Demon is repaired tomorrow, it's time to leave. We can't stay here any longer."

There was quite a commotion at Shipyard No. 1 earlier, with the sounds of powerful attacks colliding echoing throughout the entire island.

It's unlikely that it can be kept secret.

There may be informants from the World Government and the Navy on the island, and his whereabouts may be known.

Staying too long carries risks...

However, staying overnight shouldn't be a problem.

Even if the World Government and the Navy wanted to organize troops to reach this place, it wouldn't be so quick.

At least half a day is not enough.
