First half of the Grand Line.

Over fifty massive warships assembled outside the Sabaody Archipelago, causing a huge commotion.

"Simply headless flies, running around everywhere!"

Having woken up early in the morning, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was processing tedious official documents in his office, received the information and couldn't help but sneer.

But as the only maritime nation without fixed territory, and also one of the World Government's member nations, as long as Jerma didn't directly invade a kingdom or an island directly under the World Government, whatever they did was their own freedom. The Marines had absolutely no right to interfere.

The only thing that slightly reassured Sengoku was that Jerma, so far, had not continued to make contact with other Warlords or forces.

"It's Jerma's flag!"

"Is this the legendary 'Army of Evil,' Jerma 66?"

"Truly arrogant, dozens of warships gathered together, it's simply like a kingdom..."

"This evil organization is gathering here, are they preparing to attack some kingdom?"

The black flag, emblazoned with the "66," fluttered in the wind, looking extremely audacious.

Sabaody Archipelago, many residents, pirates, bounty 21 hunters, and others, couldn't help but gather on the shores of the Sabaody Archipelago, full of curiosity about this unfamiliar yet somewhat awe-inspiring military organization, discussing it animatedly.

But without exception, even the pirates who usually ran rampant on the Sabaody Archipelago, rubbing their fists and preparing to make a big splash in the New World, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw the war fleet, so massive it was even several times the size of Marine Headquarters' "Buster Call" that made countless people pale at the mere mention of it. Let alone daring to approach and offend them.

Inside the magnificent castle.

In the main hall, only Ichiji, Reiju, Niji, and Yonji were seated in turn. Personnel like Sanji, Aisa, and others not from the Vinsmoke family were absent.

"This time, I've troubled you two."

Ichiji, dressed in casual wear, his long hair draped over his shoulders, was toying with an apple-shaped Devil Fruit in his hand with interest. It was a translucent purple color with strange patterns, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face.

The exquisitely beautiful, slender maid, Éclair, stood smiling behind Ichiji.

Her black and white maid outfit was truly alluring. Her smooth, golden hair fell naturally, with a faint shimmer. Her two slender legs, perfectly draped when she was kneeling before him, appeared long, making it hard for one to look away.

"It's nothing, just on the way."

Leaning back in his exclusive swivel chair, marked with a "2," Niji, with his blue hair, wearing a white shirt and casual pants, drowsily propped up his chin.

"It's just that, shouldn't you tell us what ability this Devil Fruit actually has?"

Yonji, also in casual wear, took a large swig of alcohol, looking at Ichiji who was toying with the Devil Fruit, and asked with some curiosity, "I don't think it's necessary to hide it from me and Niji..."

"Speaking of which, I still don't know what ability it has either."

Reiju rested her chin on her right hand, her elbow on the dining table, and said with a slight smile.

Her fair, slender legs were lightly crossed. Her pink hair wasn't very long, but it didn't affect her charm, drawing people in irresistibly.

"A rare Mythical Zoan, Animal-type, Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire..." Seeing that everyone was somewhat curious, Ichiji didn't hide it and spoke directly.

"Mythical Zoan, Model: Vampire?" Reiju's uniquely curled eyebrow twitched. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Ichiji in astonishment, "Don't tell me it can grant eternal life by sucking blood, like the vampires in legends..."

"Hey, you must be joking, Reiju..."

Niji and Yonji, upon hearing this, couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking at the Mythical Zoan fruit in Ichiji's hand with some disbelief: "In this world, how could there be such an exaggerated ability?"

"As for its specific abilities, I'm not clear either..."

Ichiji shrugged slightly, indicating he wasn't very clear, and said calmly, "But come to think of it, eternal life is highly unlikely, but a Mythical Zoan ability is generally not bad. Allowing one to maintain a youthful state should be possible."

"Maintaining a youthful state, that's attractive enough."

Not just Reiju, even Éclair behind Ichiji couldn't help but have her beautiful eyes light up slightly.

However, it was a pity that both of them were already Devil Fruit users. Even if Ichiji gave this Devil Fruit to them, they wouldn't dare to eat it.

"It's just one Devil Fruit. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for it to grant immortality, right?" Niji, with his arms crossed, leaned back in his chair and shook his head in disbelief.

"Exactly, Ichiji, you're not thinking of risking eating it, are you?"

Nodding his head, Yonji said with a somewhat indifferent smile, "It's said that if you eat two Devil Fruits, the 'devil' within your body will clash. Don't blow yourself up."

Both of them were in their prime youth and naturally had no interest in eternal youth or anything of the sort.

It was even more impossible to believe that a mere Devil Fruit could grant immortality; that was simply preposterous.

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I have other uses for this Devil Fruit, but now is not the time..."

Without any intention of explaining further, he directly put away that Mythical Zoan fruit. Ichiji stood up, opened the black long box placed in front of him, and pushed it in front of Niji and Yonji: "You two, each pick a Devil Fruit from here!"

Inside the rather large box, five fruits of various shapes lay quietly.

¹³⁷ Two bananas of different colors and strange shapes; two cantaloupes of different colors and distinctly different patterns; one entirely cyan pineapple with mysterious convex patterns.

"These three Devil Fruits have known abilities..."

Pointing at the Devil Fruits on top, Ichiji directly gestured to the two of them, "This pineapple-shaped one should be a Logia-type, but its ability is unknown. And this yellow, cantaloupe-shaped fruit is also unknown... You decide for yourselves!"

"Even if it's a Logia-type, if it's a relatively low-level Logia, it's not as practical as directly choosing a powerful Paramecia-type..." Niji didn't even glance at the Devil Fruit that was very likely a Logia-type. He directly picked up the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit with a known ability. "Haha, I'll take this one, the Paramecia, Push-Push Fruit, that's good!"

"Hey, Niji..."

Blinking his eyes, Yonji shouted with some dissatisfaction, "You're too fast! I was just about to pick!"

"You little brat, just pick that Logia-type. Maybe it's some kind of Gale-Gale Fruit ability, haha..." Niji laughed heartily. He didn't believe Yonji's luck would be that good, to actually get such an exaggerated Logia-type ability.

Or rather, he didn't believe Golden Lion Shiki's luck was that good, to be able to collect so many top-tier fruits.
