Chapter 65: I Remembered Something Exciting (2/10) (Seeking First Release!)
Oris Port, situated in front of Oris Plaza—it was Marineford's largest port, and also the main port for the entire Marine Headquarters.
When Loy and Hans arrived at the port's designated berth, they indeed saw a ship docked there.
That ship bore a cross-emblazoned flag; it was a warship belonging to the World Government.
"Boss, are you sure you're not eating a Devil Fruit?"
At this moment, Hans was nervously asking from behind Loy, while Fahr followed closely by his side.
"Of course."
Loy's expression didn't change in the slightest: "I have no interest in Devil Fruits."
Hearing this, Hans and Fahr showed reverence on their faces, clearly marveling at the mindset of such a strong individual like Loy.
But at the same time, they were also clearly a little joyful.
Because after learning that their team would soon have two new Ability Users, they had already held an internal competition to decide the ownership of these two Devil Fruits.
And it had to be said, although Fahr and Hans usually acted like comedic characters who loved to joke around and neglect their duties,
within the Detention Unit, their strength was actually quite decent.
So in the end, the qualifications to consume the two Devil Fruits fell into their hands.
"When you see the World Government people, be more spirited and don't make me lose face—when the time comes, I'll check the Devil Fruits first. These are rare items."
Loy simply glanced at the two of them and replied thus.
He indeed didn't plan to ruin his 'non-Ability User' persona, and he certainly intended to give those two Devil Fruits to the two of them—anyway, for him, he could obtain Devil Fruit abilities whether he ate them or not.
The problem was—for ordinary people, consuming a Devil Fruit was like opening a blind box.
Although the vast majority of Devil Fruits had some use, purely useless abilities were not uncommon.
But Loy was clearly not 'most people'.
With the power of his Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, he could precisely know the specific abilities of any Devil Fruit.
As Hans and Fahr were his subordinates, Loy naturally had to be responsible for them.
Therefore, if the abilities of those two Devil Fruits were indeed very weak, he would naturally find an excuse not to let the two of them consume them.
"Yes!" *2
Hans and Fahr naturally didn't find it strange, merely nodding in immediate agreement.
Soon, the group arrived in front of the World Government warship.
After they stated their identities, the soldier on the warship nodded and said, "Major Loy, your cargo is here. I'll go now to find the two officers responsible for this escort to confirm."
He was extremely enthusiastic, and his expression towards Loy was filled with admiration.
Needless to say, Loy knew that this demeanor was definitely the result of the World Government's propaganda not long ago.
"No need! We're here!"
Before he could finish speaking, Loy heard a voice.
At that moment, two people walked out from the warship's cabin.
They were both wearing black suits and masks on their faces.
On one person's shoulder stood a pigeon, while the other wore a Tengu mask.
"I really didn't expect to see such a lively three-forces martial arts drill right after arriving at Marineford."
At this moment, the man wearing the Tengu mask laughed heartily.
"This old man certainly recognizes Major Loy's appearance. Please take your cargo—we are just escorting it along the way, no need for such troublesome procedures."
After speaking, he gestured to the man with the pigeon on his shoulder, and the two walked down from the warship together.
"Boss... those two look like CP9."
At this moment, Fahr, who was beside them, made this judgment based on the two men's attire.
Loy: "..."
Needless to say?
He recognized the identities of these two people at a glance.
Although there was nothing special about them in the eyes of others, that iconic pigeon and the verbal tic "this old man" were truly not hard to recognize.
These two CP9 agents were precisely the special agents who had previously infiltrated Water 7: Rob Lucci and Kaku.
"I remember these two were apparently summoned to participate in the three-forces martial arts drill?"
As Loy pondered, he seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze began to survey his surroundings.
Afterwards, his expression became even more subtle.
But before he could ask, the soldier on the warship had already handed him two boxes: "Major, these are the two Devil Fruits provided by the 'King of Snails' Huamu."
As the soldier spoke, the voice of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia had already echoed by Loy's ear.
[Ownerless Devil Fruit discovered.]
[Confirmed Devil Fruits are 'Paramecia-type: Fresh-Fresh Fruit' and 'Paramecia-type: Full-Full Fruit'. Can be analyzed and stored in the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]
[Please touch the Devil Fruit to complete analysis.]
As the voice sounded, Loy naturally didn't choose to directly touch the Devil Fruit—if this thing disappeared in front of everyone, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even with multiple mouths.
On the contrary, at this moment, Loy instead turned his gaze towards the detailed descriptions of those two Devil Fruits.
[Paramecia-type: Fresh-Fresh Fruit]
[Devil Fruit Ability: Can store items inside the body and permanently fix their state, keeping them fresh.]
[LV3: Can store meat, water, vegetables, and items inside the body, maintaining their state from before storage. Total storage capacity does not exceed thirty times body weight. Requires 500 million Berries to permanently unlock.]
[LV4: Deep Devil Fruit development. Can store non-hostile living beings inside one's body. Requires 1.5 billion Berries to permanently unlock.]
[LV5: Devil Fruit Awakening: Fresh Domain. Can transform nearby aging and decaying meat, water, vegetables, and living being corpses back into a fresh and lively state. Requires 8 billion Berries to permanently unlock.]
This was the detailed information for the first Devil Fruit.
In addition to this...
[Paramecia-type: Full-Full Fruit]
[Devil Fruit Ability: Can gain powerful strength and vitality through consumption.]
[LV3: Can gain powerful strength and recover from injuries through consumption. Strength and recovery speed depend on the feeling of fullness. Requires 500 million Berries to permanently unlock.]
[LV4: Deep Devil Fruit development. Can temporarily gain strength exceeding limits by devouring an extremely large amount of food in a short period of time. Requires 1.5 billion Berries to permanently unlock.]
[LV5: Devil Fruit Awakening: Full Eater. The ability can affect the surrounding environment, devouring all edible items and even microorganisms in the vicinity. As long as there is food nearby for consumption, one will not be injured or fatigued.]
"These two Devil Fruits are both pretty good."
Loy was a little surprised.
Yes—the effects of these two Devil Fruits were unexpectedly good.
Firstly, the Fresh-Fresh Fruit's preservation ability had a considerably great auxiliary effect for seafaring.
Moreover, it itself even possessed some characteristics of a 'Space-type Devil Fruit'. After development, it could store living beings inside the body, possessing considerable strategic value. It was quite a good auxiliary-type Devil Fruit.
As for the second Devil Fruit, the 'Full-Full Fruit', it was a combat-type Devil Fruit that enhanced strength.
By continuously eating, one could obtain powerful strength and vitality—considering that a certain contemporary Nika, who hadn't even set sail yet, also seemed to have similar characteristics, therefore...
"Perhaps this thing could be called the 'Human-Human Fruit: Great Nika Form'?"
Loy muttered to himself, but he was clearly aware—the effect of this Devil Fruit was also quite practical, and moreover...
"These two Devil Fruits, when paired together, are quite perfect."
The Fresh-Fresh Fruit preserved food, and the Full-Full Fruit consumed food. The pairing of the two was indeed very good.
The only problem was...
"You two... do you both want Devil Fruits that can enhance your combat power?"
Looking at Fahr and Hans behind him, whose eyes were sparkling, Loy asked tentatively.
