"Blech—"
Whether it was Niji or Yonji, both of them, having just taken a bite of the Devil Fruit, had faces contorted in shades of green and purple, feeling so nauseous they wanted to vomit immediately.
Of course, they both knew that one only needed to eat a single bite of a Devil Fruit, and there was no need to foolishly continue eating the whole thing.
Niji chose that Paramecia-type Rejection Fruit, which was clearly a considerably strong ability. It was just unknown to what extent this fellow could develop this fruit. And Yonji, who somewhat didn't want to become a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, decisively chose that unknown Logia-type fruit.
Their choices were not outside Ichiji's expectations.
These two brats, under Vinsmoke Judge's brainwashing education, usually considered themselves royalty and were incredibly arrogant.
Those two Zoan-type abilities might also be quite strong, but given other choices, they clearly preferred Paramecia or Logia-type abilities.
"The Rejection Fruit, I imagine, can directly repel targets, objects, or even attacks within a certain range in front of the user. But I just don't know if it can directly repel harm inflicted upon oneself..."
Ichiji sat in the main seat, signaled Igaram to put away the remaining Devil Fruits, and looked at Niji, who had managed to compose himself and was no longer dry-heaving. He said with a faint smile, "Niji, your eyesight is actually not bad. To be honest, if I hadn't obtained the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit before this Paramecia-type fruit, I definitely wouldn't have let you have it."
What he said was indeed true. If he hadn't obtained either the Dark-Dark Fruit or the Mythical Zoan, Vampire Form, he indeed might have chosen to eat it himself!
The power of the Rejection Fruit, he could fully imagine it; otherwise, Golden Lion Shiki wouldn't have collected it.
"Repel harm?"
Reiju, Yonji, and Igaram were all somewhat dumbfounded.
If Niji could truly do that, directly repelling harm inflicted upon himself, that would truly be an outrageous ability.
"It's still too early to talk about these things. Compared to this, I'm more curious about... hmm? ..."
Slightly sensing his still-unchanged body, Niji instantly darted to Yonji's side like lightning. His right index finger straightened, stabbing directly towards Yonji's shoulder—"Finger Pistol!"
"Ugh, ugh, Niji, what the hell are you doing..."
Yonji, completely unprepared, was startled by Niji's action and subconsciously tried to dodge backward.
"Pfft!"
In the next instant, Yonji's right shoulder was directly pierced by the index finger, which wasn't covered in Haki. He didn't feel the slightest pain; instead, wisps of purplish-green smoke emerged.
But Niji's entire expression changed, and he quickly retracted his finger!
The skin layer on his right index finger had actually been partially corroded, almost exposing the flesh and blood underneath. It was somewhat alarming.
"What!?"
Reiju and Igaram both couldn't help but feel a little startled.
Without a doubt, Yonji's ability was unquestionably Logia-type, and it also possessed considerable corrosiveness.
"It actually has corrosive properties..."
Niji directly moved several steps away from Yonji, looking at him with a somewhat strange expression. "You brat, what kind of Logia ability user are you exactly?"
"Bwahaha, looks like my luck isn't bad..."
Yonji laughed somewhat excitedly and said to Niji with some smugness, "Although it's not a Logia like the Gust-Gust Fruit, at least it's not some disgusting ability like the Swamp-Swamp Fruit!" He was still a bit unhappy that Niji had snatched the Paramecia-type Rejection Fruit before him.
"Swoosh..."
As if it were an innate instinct, his right hand directly transformed into purplish-green smoke, which then curled towards a flower vase several meters away.
"Zzzzz..."
The plants instantly withered and rotted.
Even that giant flower vase, a meter tall, was continuously corroding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But at least Yonji still knew where he was and didn't dare to let those gases spread, otherwise, it could cause considerable trouble.
"It's not liquid, it possesses potent toxins, and has high corrosiveness. It should be a rare gas like miasma..." Ichiji, sitting calmly in his exclusive swivel chair, observed this scene, then stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, it's a pretty good ability!"
"How about it, Ichiji..." Garp⁵ grinned, and Yonji asked Ichiji somewhat smugly and provocatively, "Compared to your Dark-Dark Fruit, it shouldn't be much worse, right?" He had heard Vinsmoke Judge say that the Devil Fruit Ichiji had obtained through intelligence provided by Spandam, the highest-ranking official of CP7 under the World Government, was also a Logia-type, but he didn't know its specific abilities.
Igaram, standing to the side, felt somewhat like laughing.
She knew very well that His Highness's ability was absolutely not comparable to a mere Miasma Fruit. It could even be said to completely counter the Logia ability Yonji had just obtained.
No matter how powerful miasma is, can it corrode darkness?
"You brat, you just obtained an ability and you can't hold back already, getting a bit too complacent and carried away, huh..."
Ichiji had long known that with Yonji's arrogant and boastful personality, if he obtained a powerful ability, he would inevitably want to compare himself with him.
It wasn't that he foolishly wanted to directly challenge his position, but rather that he had been suppressed by him for so many years and couldn't help but want to find a sense of superiority over him.
Without saying much more, he raised his right hand and aimed it at Yonji.
"...What's that?"
Niji's pupils contracted slightly. He looked somewhat astonished at Ichiji's right hand, which was beginning to darken. What on earth is that? He actually felt his scalp tingle a little.
A strange black smoke spread out. Ichiji directly activated Dark Water!
"Ugh!"
"What!?"
Yonji's whole body trembled violently, as if his heart was about to jump out. His face couldn't help but change drastically.
Under the shocked gazes of Niji, Reiju, and the others, Yonji was uncontrollably pulled towards Ichiji!
"Thump!"
Directly pressing down on Yonji's head, making him crash somewhat wretchedly onto the dining table, Ichiji said with a slight smile, "This is my ability, how does it feel?"
"What's going on?"
Yonji, somewhat (unable to lift his head) wretchedly, had his eyes wide open, somewhat disbelieving. "The gravity just now..."
Just moments ago, he should have been able to initially control his fruit's ability and directly elementalize. Why couldn't I elementalize all of a sudden?
Moreover, isn't the Dark-Dark Fruit a Logia-type? Why does it seem more like a Paramecia-type gravity ability?
"Yonji, the Miasma Fruit's ability is indeed not bad..."
Letting go of Yonji, Ichiji sat down as if nothing had happened and said with a slight laugh, "But you probably don't know that the Dark-Dark Fruit possesses dark gravity, which can accurately attract the bodies of all Devil Fruit users. And once I touch them, they immediately become unable to use their fruit's abilities. So, any fellows who are too confident in their Devil Fruit abilities but lack proper taijutsu skills are just courting death by challenging me... right?"
Hearing this, Yonji, Niji, and Reiju looked at Ichiji, who maintained a faint smile opposite them, and all couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief...
