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

Crocodile began to introduce the current situation of his Beehive Island.

The expansion of the Heavenly Demon's trade in the first half of the Grand Line has exceeded expectations.

The monthly profits of the four trading outposts—Drum Island, Alabasta, Water Seven, and Drum Thunder Island—have all exceeded one billion Berries, with the monthly profit of the Alabasta outpost having surpassed three hundred million Berries.

Simon's (leader of the gene soldiers) gene soldier force has expanded to 20,000, of whom 5,000 have completed bloodline transplant surgery and have combat capabilities at the level of Navy Headquarters Lieutenant Commander or above.

At Master Tom's shipyard, the production of new warships is also intensifying. Six ships have already been delivered and put into service, all of which are deployed to patrol and guard the waters around Beehive Island.

"In addition, Kaido is urging an increase in the supply of Seastone weapons."

Crocodile added,

"It seems that Wano Country is not peaceful lately either."

Barrett continued, his voice deep and confident:

"Three groups of foolish pirates have come in the past few months. The first group tried to steal the gene samples, but they were all wiped out by Red Earl;

The second group consisted of bounty hunters, whom I smashed into mincemeat in front of everyone.

The third batch—

He paused, then snorted coldly.

"It was a probing attack by the Navy, which was repelled by Mihawk alone."

Hawkeye nodded.

The Earl of Red held his wine glass, his tone calm but his words ruthless:

"The New World is in turmoil lately; Whitebeard and Big Mom are fighting again."

The war spread to several islands, which benefited us greatly. We swallowed up six islands in total, increasing our population by 80,000.

After the report was completed, everyone looked at Roy, who was seated at the head of the table.

They were eager to hear about their experiences on this trip.

Roy recounted the entire experience of his trip in detail—the sparring session with the Blue Oni Dorry and the Red Oni Brogy in the Little Garden.

Drum Island cured Roger's platinum lead disease, while Minion Island found a user with the Op-Op Fruit ability.

He caused chaos at the auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago, stole the Heavenly Gold, fought against the four admirals of the Navy, and obtained the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and the Giant Pulse Dragonfly Fruit.

He described every detail objectively and completely, glossing over what should be omitted and revealing what needs to be detailed without concealing anything.

When he mentioned that Akainu killed three Celestial Dragons with a single punch, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.

"A Marine Admiral killing a Celestial Dragon—such a thing is unheard of."

Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"That madman Akainu can never be understood with common sense."

Barrett responded with a cold laugh.

"However, his ruthless move saved us a lot of effort."

In any case, the World Government will never admit that one of its admirals killed a World Noble; this debt will inevitably be placed entirely on our shoulders.

After the meeting ended, Roy stood up and his gaze swept across everyone's faces.

Ultimately, the blame fell on the three Hancock sisters, Baal, and Kazami.

"You lot, come with me."

The core treasure trove of Devil Fruits on Beehive Island,

The two large doors slowly opened, revealing rows of stone display shelves inside, each shelf displaying a Devil Fruit.

The three Hancock sisters followed behind him, watching everything in shock.

Dozens of Devil Fruits were displayed clearly on their respective shelves: Paramecia, Zoan, Ancient Zoan, and Mythical Zoan, all arranged in order of category and rank.

"Hancock," Roy said.

Hancock snapped back to reality, her heart skipping a beat. He called her name…

Roy picked up a pink heart-shaped fruit.

The fruit's skin is as smooth as porcelain, and every line is as exquisite as a work of art sculpted by a master.

Paramecia type: Sweet-Sweet Fruit.

"This fruit is for you."

Roy handed the box to Hancock, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

Hancock took the fruit with both hands, and her deep purple eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

She looked down at the heart-shaped fruit in her arms, her voice trembling slightly: "Lord Roy... this is..."

"The fruit that's best suited for you."

Roy finished the sentence for her.

"The next empress of Amazon Lily is a perfect match for this sweet fruit."

Hancock pressed the fruit tightly against her chest, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

When she looked up, a thin layer of mist had already settled over her deep purple eyes.

"Lord Roy, I will definitely make good use of the fruit's abilities."

I will become stronger, strong enough to stand by your side, strong enough to share your burdens.

This power, from this day forward, exists solely for you.

Sandasonia and Marigold looked at their sister's retreating figure, exchanged a glance, and smiled silently.

They knew better than anyone how much their sisters admired Lord Roy.

Roy took another fruit from the shelf, tore off the label, and then took out the fruit he had obtained from the small garden from his storage bag, handing it to Sandasonia and Marigold respectively.

Animal type, ancient species, Archaeopteryx form. Animal type, ancient species, Meganeura form.

"I have already chosen your fruits. The three sisters of Kuja will grow together and become stronger together."

Sandasonia's fingers trembled slightly as he received the Archaeopteryx fruit.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with solemnity:

"Lord Roy, I swear, I will use this power to protect my sister, to protect Amazon Lily, and to protect you."

Marigold, clutching the Giant Pulse Dragonfly Fruit, nodded vigorously: "Me too. I want to be my sister's strongest support."

Roy nodded, then took out another Devil Fruit.

Looking at Baal—this honest, big guy had been standing ramrod straight since he entered, eyes downcast, not daring to glance at the rare fruits around him.

"Bar"

"Here!" Barr stood at attention reflexively.

"This fruit is yours."

Barr was stunned, and pointed to himself:

"Mine? Captain, I..."

He scratched his head, his honest face full of flattery.

"I don't know anything, all I have is strength. Isn't it a waste to give me such good results?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just eat what I tell you to eat."

Baal took the Devil Fruit and glanced at the label on it—Paramita-type Island-Island Fruit.

This fruit allows him to become one with the entire island, and every inch of the island can become his weapon. Anyone who tries to invade Beehive Island must first get past Baal.

Baal's eyes welled up with tears. He had never imagined that the captain would allocate such a precious fruit to him.

He bowed awkwardly to Roy, his voice hoarse but firm: "Captain, I will definitely guard Beehive Island. I'm not afraid of anyone."

Roy finally looked at Kazami. He really didn't know what fruit would suit this swordsman. As a swordsman, Kazami himself possessed unique swordsmanship.

Furthermore, their physical constitution has been strengthened through bloodline transplantation, and it is no longer a weakness.

After thinking for a moment, Roy decided to let him choose for himself.
