Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 275 Fleet Admiral Momousagi?

The fist collided with the golden phallus, but they didn't actually make contact. Instead, they just brushed against each other in mid-air, yet the air still groaned.

In particular, the pink light on Hancock's fist spread out as the Haki clashed, and anything that touched the pink light, whether plant, animal, or soil, instantly turned into grayish-white stones.

This is precisely the effect of the Love-Love Fruit awakening! Although the Devil Fruit itself does not contain any faith, the Pirate Empress is the queen of Amazon Lily and still possesses a degree of faith power.

Through her training with the Future Life Sutra, Hancock's Love-Love Fruit has finally fully awakened. Even without using any techniques or making any contact, she can petrify anything. If someone is deceived by Hancock's appearance, the petrification power will increase significantly.

After the attack, Momousagi frowned. She felt that some stone spots had appeared on her famous sword, Kinpira. It wasn't until she used her Haki to wash them away that the stone spots disappeared.

"You can even influence inanimate objects? Your Devil Fruit ability is truly terrifying!"

Momousagi's expression finally turned serious. Although this was just a friendly spar and the two sides were unlikely to fight to the death, the loss would be too great if her Kinbira was petrified and shattered.

"Your Kinpira sword is quite sharp! No wonder it's a legendary great sword!"

Hancock sneered, glancing at her fist. On her fair, delicate hand was a bright red wound, with blood dripping down like rubies.

However, after a short while, the wound closed up completely. With a quick wipe, only a thin red mark remained.

With the combination of the Immortal Martial Arts and the Life Return Technique, along with the terrifying vitality of the strong in the One Piece world, as long as the injury isn't severe and the stamina isn't completely depleted, any wound can heal in just a minute or two.

After a brief test, the two engaged in combat again without saying a word. However, both were quite restrained, fighting within a small area and refraining from using wide-range attacks such as flying slashes.

The island itself isn't very big. If the two of them really went all out in the fight, they could probably destroy half of the island, which would make resupplying the ships very difficult.

Despite this, the two women, who were already very close to top-tier combat power, fought with earth-shattering force. With a thunderous roar, a large section of the entire forest was cleared away.

As time passed, the once dazzling sun in the sky had turned into a gentle sunset, but the battle between the two was still not over.

Meanwhile, the other female marines had already resupplyed the ships on the island. Uchiha Touyu looked at the two who were still fighting, transformed into a streak of red light, and with two claps of billiard balls, the two were sent flying.

"Ouch! Lord Feiyu, I'm so sorry!"

"So powerful! As expected of your master! I've lost track of time."

The two stood up, glanced at the sky and their surroundings, and realized that they had gotten a little carried away in the fight. They apologized to Uchiha Touyu.

"Alright, enough apologizing. It's time for us to leave!"

"As for who won between you two, it's about even! You can continue the fight when you have time later."

Looking at the injuries sustained by the two women in the battle, Uchiha Touyu made a judgment.

In fact, the two women are quite evenly matched, probably close to the level of the strongest warriors on the sea. Even if they were to fight against the Four Emperors and the Three Admirals, they could last for a very long time.

The two women naturally trusted Uchiha Tou's assessment. In fact, they also sensed that his strength was indeed comparable to their own.

"Alright, a draw it is. I'll let this woman go for now!"

"Hmph, even with your Devil Fruit abilities, you can only manage a draw against me. If I were to eat a powerful Devil Fruit, you wouldn't stand a chance against me."

Momousagi snorted coldly, sheathed the Golden Blade in her hand, and spoke disdainfully.

In terms of pure physique and Haki, Momousagi is indeed superior to Hancock. Coupled with her superb swordsmanship at the level of a great swordsman, even though Hancock possesses the awakened level of the Love-Love Fruit, she cannot gain the slightest advantage.

Upon hearing this, Hancock's face darkened, but she couldn't refute it. She was indeed able to fight Momousagi to a draw because of her Devil Fruit abilities.

"Gion, would you like a Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touyu seemed to have thought of something and appeared thoughtful.

"Uh... If there were a powerful enough Devil Fruit, of course I would want it, but ordinary Devil Fruits wouldn't be of any benefit to me and would even disrupt my swordsmanship! I've looked at all of your Devil Fruits, Lord Feiyu, and none of them are suitable for me."

Upon hearing Uchiha Tou's words, Momousagi hesitated. Uchiha Tou had quite a few Devil Fruits, but Momousagi felt that none of them were suitable for her.

Even the Magma-Magma Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the strongest fruits in Uchiha Tou's possession, wouldn't have much of an enhancement effect on Momousagi, the great swordsman, and would be a huge waste—both of these Devil Fruits are more suitable for taijutsu or wide-ranging weaponry, while Momousagi is a standard swordsman, and their fighting styles are completely different.

"Is that so? Then what kind of Devil Fruit do you want?"

Uchiha Touyu stroked his chin and asked, as he was preparing to strengthen Gion to see if he could create a Marine Admiral, or even a Marine Fleet Admiral.

Momousagi didn't hesitate and said:

"Of course I want a Zoan-type Devil Fruit! For strong individuals who rely on Haki, physical skills, or swordsmanship, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit is the best choice, since physical strength is always the greatest foundation, no matter what."

"However, with my current strength, ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits, unless developed to the point of awakening, basically have no enhancement effect. The enhancement effect of Ancient-type Devil Fruits is also relatively limited. Only Mythical-type Devil Fruits can allow me to make rapid progress..."

Upon hearing these words, Uchiha Touyu immediately thought of a Devil Fruit that had been overlooked. He glanced at Gion and, thinking of her Momousagi title, suddenly felt that it might be fate.

The titles of Navy Admirals are based on a color plus an animal. Most of the animal titles are based on their appearance, such as Kizaru and Chaton. Monkeys and pigs do indeed look very similar to them.

As for the colors, they all describe their abilities. When the five admirals, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Fujitora, and Green Bull, activate their abilities, the colors in their nicknames match perfectly.

The "peach" in Momousagi actually refers to the color pink, and Uchiha Touyu happened to know the location of a pink fantasy Devil Fruit.

"If you want a Devil Fruit, I have a good suggestion..."

"As far as I know, there is an artificial Devil Fruit made by Vegapunk at Punk Hazard. Although it is an artificial Devil Fruit, it is actually the same as a real Devil Fruit only in color. All other abilities are exactly the same."

"And that Devil Fruit was a replica of—the Mythical Zoan Blue Dragon Fruit, possessed by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Beasts!"

The Azure Dragon Fruit is considered one of the top-tier Devil Fruits, even among the Mythical Devil Fruits. It ranks among the top three of all the Mythical Devil Fruits that have appeared in One Piece so far, including those from the movies, and has a very high chance of becoming the number one Devil Fruit after the Nikka Fruit.

In Uchiha Touyu's eyes, aside from the Nika Fruit that Oda himself designated, only the Phoenix Fruit and the Buddha Fruit could put up a fight against the Azure Dragon Fruit. The others, such as the Vampire Fruit, the Great Path Fruit, and the Great Mouth True God Fruit, were all significantly inferior to the Azure Dragon Fruit.

In fact, the potential of the Orochi Fruit is not necessarily inferior to that of the Azure Dragon Fruit. Just the seven resurrection coins alone make it a top-tier Devil Fruit.

Unfortunately, Orochi completely ruined this Devil Fruit, vividly illustrating what it means to have the most useless Devil Fruit, only the most useless Devil Fruit user. As a result, the evaluation of this Devil Fruit was also completely lowered - after all, apart from the ability to revive, this Devil Fruit did not show any other ability in Orochi's hands.

Upon hearing the name of the Azure Dragon Fruit, Gion's face also showed surprise:

"The Azure Dragon Fruit? Can this artificial Devil Fruit really be that powerful? Can it completely replicate a Mythical Zoan like the Azure Dragon Fruit?"

"Of course, the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit possesses all the abilities of the Azure Dragon Fruit. The only difference is that this fruit is pink, which matches your title perfectly."

"A pink dragon? That really suits me perfectly."

Momousagi's face finally showed a look of complete interest. Her current strength has actually reached the level of a Marine Admiral, but it can only be considered as the entry level. She is far inferior to the original three Admirals.

It's important to understand that the title of "Naval Admiral" doesn't mean that the strength of the three admirals in each generation was roughly the same. The current generation of the three admirals is definitely the strongest in history. If we go back another 100 years, Momousagi's current strength would definitely qualify her as a naval admiral.

If Momousagi were to consume a Mystic-type Azure Dragon Fruit, even without developing any of the Devil Fruit's abilities, the passive physical enhancements from the Devil Fruit alone would be enough for her to challenge the current three Admirals.

If she were to further cultivate the Future Unborn Sutra and borrow the power of faith from this Navy Admiral candidate, she might be able to awaken her Devil Fruit directly. At that time, no one in the entire Navy would be her match!

"Hehe, then Momousagi, you'd better work hard! I still really want to experience the service of the female admiral."

Uchiha Touyu smiled and said something that immediately made Momousagi blush, and she firmly replied:

"Don't worry, Lord Feiyu, I will grant your wish very soon!"

"Then I'll wait patiently. With your abilities, obtaining this artificial Devil Fruit from Punk Hazard should be quite easy."

Indeed, that's the case. Punk Hazard is still under the jurisdiction of the Navy and the World Government, and Momousagi is a candidate for Navy Admiral. She only needs to say one word, and the Navy in Punk Hazard will send this artificial Devil Fruit directly to her.

Given Momousagi's status and position, she could easily obtain a Devil Fruit from the Navy, as long as it wasn't a top-tier Paramecia, Logia, or Mythical type, let alone an artificial Devil Fruit.

Back on the ship, just as Uchiha Touyu was about to rest, Hancock, the Pirate Empress, pushed open the door and pounced on him:

"Master, you must stand up for me!"

Uchiha Touyu hugged Hancock, who pounced on him, and after thoroughly enjoying the face wash, he patted her bottom and asked:

"What happened? Did someone bully you?"

"That Momousagi will definitely bully me in the future! Once she gets the Azure Dragon Fruit, I won't be a match for her at all. She'll really make my life miserable!"

Hancock spoke with certainty, causing Uchiha Touyu's lips to twitch, leaving him speechless.

Although Momousagi is indeed not an easy person to deal with, otherwise she wouldn't have become a candidate admiral in the Navy, her temper is definitely much better than Hancock's—Hancock's twisted temper, if it weren't for the charm power of the Love Love Fruit, would probably have been beaten to death long ago!

In reality, although there are many mavericks in the Navy, especially at the higher levels, they are still far superior to pirates. Pirates have a wide variety of personalities, and many of them have brains that are more twisted than Straw Hat Luffy's. Hancock belongs to the most twisted type among them.

"Master, do you really want to just watch that Momousagi bully me? I'm so pitiful..."

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around with me! What exactly do you want from me, Hancock? Explain yourself clearly."

Hearing Uchiha Tou's words, Hancock revealed a smug smile: "Master, I want a Devil Fruit too! A Devil Fruit even more powerful than Momousagi's!"

Uchiha Touyu twitched his lips. A Devil Fruit stronger than the Azure Dragon Fruit? He really couldn't think of one.

Even among the fantasy species, the Azure Dragon Fruit can be considered a top-tier Devil Fruit. Apart from the Nika Fruit, any other Devil Fruit can at most be said to be on the same level as the Azure Dragon Fruit, each with its own characteristics, but none of them can completely surpass the Azure Dragon Fruit.

As for the Nika Fruit... this Devil Fruit is quite strange, and Uchiha Touyu doesn't think Hancock can handle it well.

However, while Uchiha Touyu couldn't produce a Devil Fruit that surpassed the Azure Dragon Fruit, he did possess two Devil Fruits that were nearly identical to the Azure Dragon Fruit, and one of these two Devil Fruits was indeed very suitable for Hancock.
