I collect everything in the One Piece world.

"Success!" A glint flashed in Morsen's eyes as he looked at the mergeable object behind him and continued to say to Robin, "Robin, launch a few more attacks in different forms."

Robin nodded and cooperated. Next, she used the Flower Flower Fruit's abilities in different applications, such as "clutch," "Spider Flower," and "Spinning Flower" (a prototype of joint lock), to attack.

Mosen used the same method, capturing each instance with the "Collection Encyclopedia" phantom and transforming it into corresponding status stickers: [Hana Hana no Mi Binding], [Hana Hana no Mi Joint Technique (Fake)], etc.

After collecting about five or six different "flower and fruit" status stickers, Mosen had an idea and tried to guide these stickers closer to each other.

As if drawn to something, the pink petal patterns on the edges of the stickers began to extend, intertwine, and finally merge together, forming a new sticker that was slightly larger, with more complex patterns, and whose central design became a silhouette of a budding flower.

[Hana Hana no Mi Ability - Status: Incomplete (duration approximately 3-5 minutes)]

"That's amazing!" Bakara leaned closer, looking at the faintly glowing sticker in Morsen's hand, and exclaimed, "You really 'disassembled' a part of Robin's ability and even 'pieced' it back together to use!"

"Want to give it a try?" Mosen handed the sticker with the [Flower Flower Fruit Ability (Incomplete)] to Bakara: "Theoretically, this kind of sticker should also be usable by others, but the effect and consumption may vary from person to person."

Bakara's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the sticker and stuck it on her body: "I'll try it! Let's see if I can grow arms too!"

The sticker then merged into her body and disappeared, and she crossed her arms like Robin, concentrating on feeling the sudden surge of another power.

After a long while, she managed to "grow" an arm that was only half the size of a normal person's forearm next to her shoulder.

The illusory arm lasted for less than half a minute before it vanished with a "poof," and the sticker then emerged from her body, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

"Ugh! I'm exhausted!" Bakala plopped down on the deck, panting heavily as she complained, "This feels more tiring than gambling for three days and three nights straight! And all I got was such a tiny little thing, and I'm already exhausted! Is there something wrong with these stickers?"

Upon hearing this, Mosen thoughtfully remarked, "It seems that non-power users, or those who lack understanding of their original abilities, will experience a significant energy drain when using these 'borrowed' ability stickers, resulting in a substantial reduction in effectiveness. This isn't just a matter of energy; it may also involve the user's adaptability to and understanding of the Devil Fruit's abilities."

Robin nodded and continued, "Then, Captain, what will you do with it?"

Mosen was also curious, so he repeated the process and attached it to himself. Soon, Mosen's arms grew on all three of them, and they looked no different from Robin's usual appearance.

Mosen nodded in satisfaction: "It seems I don't need to worry about this myself."

Mosen thought it might be due to the power of his Devil Fruit, or it might be because he was a transmigrator and had some knowledge of other Devil Fruits.

As his thoughts raced, Mosen continued to ask Robin, "Was there anything unusual when you were 'collected' during the attack?"

Robin carefully sensed it and shook his head: "I didn't feel much. It just felt like the released power suddenly lost its connection, like spilled water being caught by an invisible container."

"The only feeling is that I seem to have used up more energy, but there was no other extra exertion or discomfort."

"I see." Mosen was relieved and concluded, "It seems that when facing other Devil Fruit users, I can indeed 'collect' their abilities through battle and then make them my own."

"Although they are all incomplete and temporary, their tactical significance is still enormous. Especially if we are facing a recently deceased ability user..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but all three understood what it meant: a chance to obtain a power sticker as complete as the Sand-Sand Fruit.

"And my Devil Fruit ability, can you collect my good fortune?" Bakara also became interested.

"If possible, could it be turned into one of those temporary lucky stickers?"

Mosen's thoughts were sparked by Bakara's words, and he immediately decided to give it a try.

However, no matter how closely he pressed his body against Bakara's body to activate his abilities, he was unable to collect her luck.

"Why don't you try activating your ability, just like Robin did?" Morsen suggested thoughtfully.

Bakara nodded and said, "Then I'll try to extract a little bit of good luck from you."

Mosen nodded, and then Bakara poked Mosen's face with her finger, while Mosen opened his hand and activated his ability.

The next second, a sticker with a faint red glow around its edge appeared in Mosen's palm.

[Lucky Fruit Luck Draw - Status: Lucky Fruit Ability Technique (Can be fused with other techniques to form a Lucky Fruit Ability - Status: Incomplete)]

"Ah! It really works! With this sticker, you should be able to draw someone else's luck once, just like me," Bakara said excitedly.

Mosen smiled and nodded, his eyes gleaming: "Right now, I need you to activate your Devil Fruit abilities before I can collect them. But if the Devil Fruit abilities are further developed in the future, maybe I won't need to activate them; I can collect them simply by making contact with them."

"Do you have any new ideas about Devil Fruit abilities?" Robin asked with great interest.

She found that Morsen's approach to developing his abilities was always unique. Listening to him more might give her some new ideas as well.

“There are some improvements to my existing abilities, such as the fact that I can now control the stickers from a greater distance.”

Previously in Sabaody, he had to stay at the edge of Mangrove Tree No. 1 to activate the stickers in the human auction house; now, that distance has at least doubled.

"Also, I can sense the location of collectibles and stickers. The farther away they are, the blurrier they become, but they are always there."

It's like a GPS locator, only in a Devil Fruit power version.

Then, Mosen pondered for a moment and said, "I have some ideas about blank stickers. If we can gather blank stickers and send them to you first, you can use them for defense and other purposes."

"In addition, I've recently been trying to see if I can 'save' some of my own 'status' moments."

"Your own condition?" Baccarat and Robin both looked puzzled.

“That’s right,” Mosen explained, “like the state of being ‘full of energy’.”

"When I feel my best mentally and physically, I try to preserve that 'best state'."

"Maybe when I'm exhausted after a tough battle, I can use this sticker and instantly regain some of my energy?"

“Even some ‘negative states,’ such as ‘pain,’ ‘blood loss,’ ‘poisoning’ when injured…theoretically, these are also a kind of ‘state’.”

"If I can 'collect' them from myself, does that mean I've eliminated these negative effects?"

"If I can do that, then I will have powerful endurance, recovery and purification capabilities."

"Add beneficial status effects to yourself and remove harmful status effects?" Bakara was dumbfounded: "This...this sounds unbelievable?"

“That’s really exaggerated,” Mosen laughed. “And I’m thinking that once I have a good enough grasp of how to ‘store’ and ‘release’ my own state, I might be able to try using it on others.”

"At that time, our opponents will not only be facing a powerful 'collector,' but also a troublesome entity that can 'restore mana,' 'dispel debuffs,' and even 'buff teammates' at any time."

"If I can get close, I can also stick these negative effect stickers on the enemy and activate them, making them suffer from this negative status."

His eyes sparkled with anticipation for this ability: "And our teammates can enjoy support that provides 'energization,' 'pain relief,' and even 'doom dispel.'"

"If we could reach that level..."

Mosen raised his head and looked at the dazzling starry sky, his tone resolute: "I think my 'collection fruit' is not far from its true 'awakening'."

A brief silence fell on the deck, broken only by the gentle lapping of the waves against the hull.

As Bakala and Robin gazed at Morsen's tall and confident figure in the moonlight, an indescribable sense of anticipation and awe welled up within them.

This man not only possesses immense strength and extraordinary abilities, but also has a wildly imaginative yet highly feasible development strategy.

With a captain like this, the voyage ahead is destined to be extraordinary.

"Alright, that concludes the experiment for now. There are still some minor functional applications under investigation." Mosen turned around, his face regaining its usual slightly lazy smile.

"Let's get some rest first, we'll be in Loguetown soon."

Final Thoughts

Collect the fruit's current ability

1. Collect inanimate objects. (The more abilities you use, the larger and more complex the collected objects become, and the more stamina you consume.)

2. Collect and release attacks. If it is related to Devil Fruit abilities, it can be used directly or fused into incomplete Devil Fruit ability stickers (the target of use includes yourself and others).

3. Collection and sticker location: It can detect the location of collected items and unused stickers, and the detection becomes weaker as the distance increases.

Capabilities under development

1. Blank stickers: Blank stickers can be prepared in advance and given to others to absorb and release attacks, achieving a defensive and counter-offensive effect.

2. Status Collection: Collect positive and negative statuses, condense them into stickers, and use them to add or remove statuses for yourself and your teammates, as well as to deplete statuses for enemies.

Chapter 60, Smoker and Tashigi (Read on!)

[At the black market warehouse at the Loguetown docks, a girl with short orange hair is hiding in a corner, listening to a pirate and a black market merchant finalize the list of goods to be bought and the transaction time.]

To avoid being caught by the navy, both the people in the black market and the pirates are very careful.

As the girl listened, she carefully considered something, and a plan gradually began to take shape in her mind.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward at the entrance to the naval base in Loguetown.

Several pirates who had just escaped the "Devil's Voyage" were being escorted by naval soldiers toward the base gate.

Unlike the usual dejected and wailing pirates who are captured, these people had a relaxed and relieved look on their faces. Some of them even grinned foolishly as they walked, as if they were going to receive a prize instead of going to jail.

They would occasionally steal glances back at the man standing at the base entrance talking to Smoker, their eyes filled with indescribable gratitude and lingering fear.

Smoker, the "White Hunter," with a cigar dangling from his lips and his gray eyebrows furrowed, glanced back and forth between the pirates' unusually joyful expressions and Morsen's seemingly harmless smile beside him.

He'd dealt with countless pirates, but this was the first time he'd seen someone so "happy" after being captured and brought to a naval base. What exactly did this guy do to those pirates on the ship?

“It seems,” Smoker exhaled a smoke ring, his voice tinged with a strange tone, “that they’re quite ‘impressed’ with you.”

Mosen shrugged upon hearing this: "It was just to let them fully experience the true meaning of 'labor is the most glorious' during the voyage, and incidentally give them some profound ideological education on 'cherishing life and abiding by the law'."

"So far, the results seem to be quite good; they are now very eager to join the Navy and the government."

Smoker: "..."

His lips twitched slightly, and he decided not to pursue the topic any further.

Regardless of what methods this "collector" used, the result was good: the pirates were not only captured, but also seemed to have been successfully reformed.

Just then, a female naval soldier with round-framed glasses, a ponytail, and a somewhat frail appearance but with a serious look in her eyes, came running out of the base carrying a suitcase.

She ran up to him, first saluted Smoker, then turned her gaze to Morsen with some curiosity.

The young man in front of her was handsome and gentle, with a warm smile on his face. He was even more handsome than in the photos, quite different from the image of the powerful pirate hunter she had imagined who could kill the infamous "Sand Crocodile".

The newspaper described it as so dangerous and intense, but in real life he seemed like a good-natured boy next door. This contrast only intensified Tashigi's curiosity.

Mosen noticed her too, matching the somewhat familiar face before him with the character in his mind. This is... Tashigi?

However, it seems that she is not Smoker's assistant yet, but just an ordinary naval soldier.

"Tashigi, what are you daydreaming about?" Smoker's deep voice pulled Tashigi back from her reverie.
