One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

"in addition,

During the search of the underground vault, we discovered three extremely unique collectibles.

Its value may far exceed that of gold and jewels.

Stella's words drew everyone's attention.

She waved her hand to bring up a holographic projection, showing three carefully stored sealed boxes.

"The first one is a Devil Fruit."

The projection zoomed in, and a fruit with strange patterns on its surface appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its color is a deep, earthy yellow, and its patterns resemble mountains and hills.

It's as if an entire miniature island has been sealed inside the fruit.

"Based on comparison with the fruit encyclopedia and our preliminary identification, this should be the Paramecia-type Island-Island Fruit."

"Island-Island Fruit?"

Roy's eyes lit up.

"The ability to merge oneself into the island and control the entire island at will?"

"That's right."

Stella nodded.

"Fruit illustration description: If this fruit were given to a suitable user..."

They can turn any island into their own territory.

Within the island's borders, those with superpowers are virtually invincible.

It can sense everything on the island, manipulate the terrain, and even bring the island itself to "life."

Tezzolo gasped.

"Doesn't that mean that if Wang Zhi had let his men take this fruit, we wouldn't have been able to take Beehive Island so easily yesterday?"

"Indeed."

"According to the records in the vault, Wang Zhi bought this fruit from a smuggler three years ago."

But for some reason, he never ate it, but instead kept it as a collectible.

Perhaps they thought they already possessed the Power-Power Fruit, or perhaps they weren't confident about the future development of the Island-Island Fruit.

Roy fell into deep thought.

The island-island fruit... its potential is truly astonishing.

Imagine,

If the user is stationed on a strategically important island, it will be almost impossible for the enemy to breach it by conventional means.

However, this fruit also has a significant weakness—

Once they leave their "home island," their abilities are greatly diminished.

"Continue," Roy gestured.

"The second and third ones are also Devil Fruits."

Stella switched the projection.

"Both of these are ancient species of the Zoan type, and both are extremely rare forms."

The first fruit appeared on the screen—

It is dark brown throughout, with a rough, hair-like texture on the surface.

Its overall shape is somewhat bulky, yet it exudes a primal and powerful aura.

"This is a Zoan-type Ancient Species Bear-Bear Fruit Cave Bear Form."

Stella explained,

"Transform into a giant cave bear from ancient times. According to records, this creature lived during the Ice Age tens of thousands of years ago and was far larger than modern brown bears."

When standing upright, it can reach a height of over twenty meters; its palm strike is powerful enough to shatter mountains; its fur is as thick and dense as armor, making it impossible for ordinary swords and knives to pierce.

The second fruit—its surface is grayish-white, with patterns resembling wolf fur, and sharp teeth and claw marks are faintly visible.

"Zoan type, Ancient species, Dog-Dog Fruit, Dire Wolf form."

"One of the dire wolves' powerful predators"

It was nearly twice the size of a modern wolf, possessing a stronger bite and greater speed, making it the true king of the wolf pack.

Three Devil Fruits.

One Paramecia-type and two Ancient Zoan-type.

This gain was more enticing to Roy than 12 billion pesos.

"Besides Devil Fruits, are there any other noteworthy collectibles?"

Roy asked.

"some."

Stella switched the projector again.

"In the deepest part of the vault, we also found two famous swords."

Two very different knives appeared in the projection.

The first blade is slender and long, entirely silver-white, with a hilt wrapped in pale blue silk threads, and exudes a chilling aura.

"This sword is named 'White Snow,' one of the twenty-one Great Swords. It is said to have been forged a hundred years ago atop a snow-capped mountain by a renowned craftsman from Wano Country."

The blade itself exudes a chilling aura; any wound inflicted by it will freeze rapidly.

The second blade is broad and heavy, with a dark gold color and a black hilt.

Carved with dragon patterns, it exudes a heavy and majestic aura.

"This sword, named 'Dragon's Spine,' is also one of the twenty-one Great Swords. Legend has it that it was forged from the spine of the legendary creature, the 'Earth Dragon.'"

The blade is extremely heavy; only those with exceptional strength can wield it.

Two large, sharp swords!

Roy's heart skipped a beat.

He now possesses the Black Blade Autumn Water, but he is not the only swordsman on the ship.

Hawkeye has his own black sword, Yoru, but it is a Supreme Grade Sword. However, Hawkeye does not have any other special abilities besides swordsmanship.

Although Cyrus was a swordsman, his sword was a straight blade, which was completely unsuitable for swordsmanship.

As for the others, currently only Roy, Mihawk, and Kyros are swordsmen in the pirate crew.

"These two knives..."

Roy had a plan in mind.

"Stella, seal these three Devil Fruits and two famous swords separately and put them in my private treasury."

"clear."

Stella nodded, then asked,

"Captain, what should we do with the more than 1,800 pirates who surrendered?"

Roy looked at Tesoro:

"Tezzolo, I'm leaving this to you."

The surrendered pirates were imprisoned separately.

"Barrett".

Roy turned to Barrett,

"You work with Tesoro to select promising and capable individuals from among the surrendered pirates."

We need to expand our forces.

But it's better to have fewer but better ones; it's better to have a hundred loyal elites than a thousand rabble.

A glint of light flashed in Barrett's eyes.

"Leave it to me."

My greatest skill is distinguishing between a true warrior and a cowardly bully.

"very good."

Roy stood up, looked around at everyone,

"Now, let's discuss the future plans for Beehive Island."

Roy walked to the center of the conference table and pulled up a 3D holographic map of Beehive Island.

"Honeycomb Island is strategically located as a hub connecting multiple shipping routes to the New World."

Although Wangzhi was poorly managed, its infrastructure was still relatively complete.

What we need to do now is to transform this place into the true headquarters of the Roy Pirates in the New World.

He pointed to several key areas on the map:

First, the port area.

Expansion and modernization are needed; it should be able to accommodate at least thirty large ships simultaneously.

It is equipped with advanced loading and unloading equipment and defensive fortifications.

Second, residential areas.

The existing residential areas on the island are mainly concentrated in the southern part of the main island. We need to plan new residential areas to attract more people to move in.

Population is the foundation of development.

Third, the industrial zone.

Beehive Island is rich in resources, but during Wang Zhi's time, it had almost no decent industry.

We need to establish our own shipyards, weapons workshops, forges... at least to be self-sufficient.

Fourth, the commercial district.

Beehive Island, as an important black market in the New World, has enormous commercial potential.

But we need standardized management; we can't be like Wang Zhi, who only knew how to collect taxes but didn't know how to build.
