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

When his name was called first, Cyrus took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

This former arena hero of Dressrosa, now a swordsman of the Roy Pirates,

He walked steadily to the long table.

His gaze swept over the dazzling array of Devil Fruits on the table.

The speed and claws of the leopard form, combined with the unique physical abilities of the giraffe form.

The strategic value of the Door-Door Fruit, the versatility of the Weapon Fruit, and the creative possibilities of the Fusion Fruit.

The practicality of the Clone-Clone Fruit, and the targeted nature of the Rust-Rust Fruit.

The boundless imagination of painting fruits...

Each one seems to hold the key to a path to immense power.

Cyrus's gaze lingered for a considerable time on several Zoan-type fruits, especially two ancient species.

The terrifying power and defense of the cave bear form can undoubtedly make up for his shortcomings as a non-ability user when facing certain special enemies, pushing his swordsmanship to a more violent level.

The agility and wild instincts of the Dire Wolf form can be combined with his solid swordsmanship to form a unique fighting style.

The Mythical Zoan-type Great Enlightenment Fruit exudes a mysterious and powerful aura; the unknown often means greater possibilities.

Cyrus's fingers unconsciously brushed against the patterns on the hilt of his sword.

Closing my eyes, I see images of myself honing my swordsmanship day after day, sweating and toiling away.

It is the belief that in battle one becomes one with the sword and cuts through everything.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a resolute look flashing in them, but more so a clear-headed expression.

Cyrus turned to Roy and bowed slightly.

"Captain Roy, thank you for giving me the opportunity to choose."

but……

After careful consideration, I decided not to choose any fruit for the time being.

A few low gasps of surprise rippled through the conference room.

Giving up readily available Devil Fruit powers is rare in this era.

Cyrus explained,

"My path is the way of the sword."

The sword in my hand and the sword intent in my heart are the source of my power.

I yearn to hone my swordsmanship to its ultimate level through pure practice, cutting through all illusions and obstacles.

While the power of Devil Fruits is undeniably strong, the 'external forces' they bring might interfere with my pure pursuit of my own swordsmanship.

For now, at least, I want to focus all my energy on improving my swordsmanship.

He paused, his tone becoming even more resolute.

"If in the future, when my swordsmanship encounters an insurmountable bottleneck, or when I face a desperate situation that I must rely on my Devil Fruit ability to cope with, perhaps I will change my mind."

But at least for now, there's no fruit here that excites me or makes me feel like I can't live without it.

My sword is the 'fruit' I have chosen.

Roy listened quietly, his face showing no displeasure, but rather a hint of admiration.

He knew Cyrus's character well; he was a man with an iron will and a clear understanding of his own path.

Forcing him to accept a force that doesn't suit his taste is not a good thing.

"Very good, Cyrus."

Roy nodded.

"I respect your choice. The ultimate swordsmanship can also cleave this ocean."

I look forward to you unleashing your own earth-shattering sword strike in the future.

"Yes, Captain!"

After Cyrus bowed, he returned to his seat, his back ramrod straight, his eyes clear and resolute.

His choice also made some others who adhered to their own paths (such as Hawkeye, who, although a great swordsman, shared the same philosophy of pure swordsmanship to some extent) nod slightly in agreement.

"Next, Scarlett," Roy called out.

Princess Scarlett of Dressrosa, now one of the key figures in the internal affairs and cultural development of Beehive Island, rose gracefully.

Unlike combatants, she doesn't have a direct thirst for power, but she knows that in this world, having the ability to protect oneself and even help others is equally important.

Her gaze swept quickly across the array of fruits, finally settling on a few functional ones.

The Spin-Spin Fruit, the Draw-Draw Fruit, the Door-Door Fruit… her gaze lingered longest on the Spin-Spin Fruit.

Considering his current situation of assisting Stella with the complex affairs of Beehive Island,

Every day involves coordinating various parties, processing documents, conveying instructions, and inspecting construction sites...

The ability of the Clone-Clone Fruit to create physical clones is practically tailor-made for her current role.

Having multiple "selves" means that work efficiency can be increased exponentially.

It also allows for a better balance between different aspects of work.

Scarlett walked up to Roy and said softly,

"Captain, I...I tend to choose the 'Clone Fruit'."

This will greatly help me handle my current daily tasks and serve you and Hive Island more efficiently.

Roy smiled; this was exactly what he wanted to see.

"A wise choice, Scarlett."

The clone fruit may not be the strongest in terms of direct combat power.

However, its value for management, coordination, intelligence processing, and even tactical support is immeasurable.

A highly capable and absolutely loyal manager is worth more than a thousand troops.

This fruit is perfect for you.

From now on, the daily operation of Hive Island can rely more on you and your "clones".

I can also focus more on external affairs and self-cultivation.

With the captain's approval and advice, Scarlett blushed with joy and nodded solemnly.

"I will definitely make good use of this ability."

Roy gestured for her to take the clone fruit with the strange bifurcated spiral pattern on its surface.

Scarlett carefully picked it up, feeling the strange rhythm contained within the fruit.

"Next, Ginny." Roy looked at the girl, who came from the Revolutionary Army, was lively yet resilient.

Ginny skipped forward, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.

She was by Xiong's side, mainly responsible for some auxiliary and communication work. Her combat talent was not outstanding, but she was quick-witted.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the Ghost Fruit, the Painting Fruit, the Sound Fruit, and the Blood Fruit.

The Ghost-Ghost Fruit's ability to penetrate and exert negative emotions, the Painting-Painting Fruit's creativity, the Sound-Sound Fruit's diverse attacks, the Blood-Blood Fruit's unpredictable nature...

Each has its own appeal, and each has its own aspects that make her slightly apprehensive (for example, the Blood-Blood Fruit's ability to manipulate blood sounds a bit scary).

She bit her lip, looked at Roy, and her eyes pleaded for help.

"Captain, I...I'm having trouble deciding. Could you offer some advice?"

"Ginny, you are quick-witted, good at communication and observation."

The Ghost-Ghost Fruit's abilities lean towards control and support, including the ability to penetrate physical barriers and create negative ghosts.

It is highly effective in reconnaissance, infiltration, and disrupting enemy morale, and can also protect oneself to a certain extent.

To realize the strategic value of drawing fruits requires even greater imagination and creativity.

The Sound-Sound Fruit leans more towards direct attacks and control. The Blood-Blood Fruit…

It may require a higher level of willpower and mental fortitude from the user.

Roy paused, looking into Ginny's eyes.

Which direction do you feel you are more inclined towards?

Is it more inclined towards support, reconnaissance, and control, or more towards direct offense and defense?
