In the original story, the Rocks Pirates should've successfully raided God Valley. Did Big Mom end up with the Azure Dragon Fruit back then, while Whitebeard got the Phoenix Fruit and the Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit?
So, the Yamata no Orochi Fruit must've been swiped by the Kurozumi siblings. What did the Golden Lion and Rocks get?
Thinking about all those legends from the future, could Rocks have scored the Cerberus Fruit?
Marshall D. Teach is known as his heir. During the God Valley war, Teach was two years old and had two little sisters. The guy's gotta be like Ace—taking his mom's name—but really the offspring of someone big!
The Hell Pirates crew was stunned by these over-the-top Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits!
If most of them hadn't already eaten their own fruits, they'd be itching to swap for one of these Mythical ones!
"Mamama~, this is perfect! Brook these Mythical fruits couldn't have come at a better time. I'm pregnant again, and this time, I'm having a whole bunch!"
Charlotte Linlin's words snapped everyone's attention back, leaving them all stunned for a second before it sank in!
"Gurarara~, that's fantastic! These nieces and nephews are gonna be real standouts, destined to shake up the seas as major players!"
Whitebeard Newgate laughed heartily. With all these top-tier Devil Fruits, the Hell Pirates had a solid future ahead. And with their pure gold stash, the crew could stay dominant for generations!
"Jiehaha~, even I'm a bit envious of these kids! Born with elite Devil Fruits ready to go—they're headed straight for the top of the world!!"
Golden Lion Shiki chuckled too. The Hell Pirates were bound to rule the New World someday, maybe even topple the World Government!
"Brook you're amazing!"
Redfield managed to squeeze out a genuine compliment. Was Brook planning to raise a squad of ultimate heirs?
"Brook, you're the best! The Hell Pirates will last forever!!"
The cadres erupted in cheers and shouts, praising Brook's prowess and even cracking jokes about the best positions for hitting the jackpot. It made Brook's smile freeze up a bit, while Charlotte Linlin beamed with pride—yep, she was the ultimate mom!
"Alright, everyone, head back and train. We might be facing a full-on counterattack from the World Government soon. Let's fight through it together!"
Brook shouted to rein in the increasingly hyped-up crowd. The situation was still uncertain—they had to stay on guard!
"Got it, Captain!!"
The cadres dispersed, and Brook handed out some regular Animal-type Devil Fruits for them to distribute to their division members!
Meanwhile, Brook stashed the precious ones in his collection cabinet. It was time to let his three kids eat their Devil Fruits.
But first, he needed to reclaim the powerful fruits from Navy Admiral Devo and Admiral Candidate Jung. The Horned Demon form was earmarked for his eldest son, Hades!
He figured that fruit suited the name perfectly. The newly acquired Yamata no Orochi and Cerberus Fruits couldn't fly, so the Sky Dragon Fruit would go to his second son, Osiris.
Now that they had an extra Phoenix Fruit, he'd check if Kanna preferred the White Feather Dragon or the Phoenix.
His kids were all sharp for their age—over a year old and already talking—which made Brook adore them!
Brook escorted the two high-ranking Navy officers to the massive lab to extract their Devil Fruits, then handed their bodies over to Arber!
"So, how about it? I'll give you a shot at living—want to join up?" Brook said with a grin. Top-tier fighters like these were worth a polite ask, even if the odds were slim. Plus, he was still planning to harvest their souls to boost his own power!
Both men stayed silent, eyes closed, ignoring Brook's offer. They didn't want to die, but their sense of justice and families back in Marineford made them choose to go down as heroes!
"Mamama~, a couple of tough nuts—I can't even snag those tasty souls!"
With these fearless Navy officers, Charlotte Linlin couldn't draw out their life force souls. Vampire Shakky wasn't around, so ship doctor Crocus got to extract plenty of blood from these elite powerhouses!
Redfield was set to read their memories once they weakened, digging for Navy insider info. After all, this was admiral-level intel—priceless stuff!
"There's no right or wrong here—just sides! I actually respect Navy folks who protect civilians. Go in peace!"
Brook said it flatly, though he seemed to forget he was there precisely to reap their souls and make them part of his strength. Peace? They wouldn't even get a chance at reincarnation!
Two Navy admirals, renowned across the world, met their quiet end right there in Hell Pirates territory!
To the people of the world, Brook was a total demon. But to him, it was all about getting stronger and surviving!
He'd crossed over as a pirate, and after offing a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago, the Hell Pirates were locked on a path of endless powering up. There was no room for coexistence with the Celestials!
One man's hero is another's villain!
Even a national hero might be the guy another country wants to tear apart!
Before long, after successfully harvesting the souls, Brook grabbed the two Devil Fruits and left, instructing his crew to deliver the bodies to Shadow Demon Arber.
...
Baron Island!
"Daddy, I wanna turn into a dragon—not a bird!"
The silver-haired little girl Kanna pouted. Between the White Feather Dragon and the Phoenix, a dragon sounded way cooler. Plus, she wanted to grow up to be an unbeatable powerhouse, just like her dad!
"Alright, alright~ Kanna's gonna be a big dragon!"
Brook pulled out the White Feather Dragon Fruit, peeled it himself, and cut off a piece for her. The three kids could already talk and sprint around, so they were ready for Devil Fruits!
"Yue~, this is gross!"
Little Kanna eagerly chomped down on the piece Brook handed her, only to gag from the Devil Fruit's awful taste.
"Haha, you've gotta eat it all—that's how you get the power to turn into a White Feather Dragon Dragon!"
Brook said with a laugh, and his words made Kanna force it down, tears welling up.
"Hades, the Horned Demon's yours. Osiris, you'll get the Sky Dragon form!"
Brook started slicing up the two Devil Fruits and passed them to his eldest son, Hades, and his second son, Osiris!
"I want Daddy to feed me too~"
Osiris grinned as he climbed onto Brook's lap—he wanted the personal feeding treatment from his father.
"Haha, sure thing—open wide!"
After feeding Hades, Brook treated them equally, peeling and cutting the fruit before hand-feeding it to Osiris.
Both boys toughed out the nasty flavor, swallowing with determined looks—they didn't want their dad to think they weren't brave!
"Haha, you're all my good boys and girl!"
Seeing his three kids had all eaten their Devil Fruits, Brook planned to personally train them for a few days, helping them get the hang of their Mythical Zoan abilities.
