Starting in One Piece: Fantasy Realm Multiverse

Alex, Menchi, and Tereza sit in the living room, discussing their future plans.

"Anyway, we need to make plans to sell the unranked and Gray-quality dishes… No. We might as well sell most of the Ordinary White-quality dishes as well. You'll end up with more of that, I'd reckon, so we might as well sell early. Even if you fail at cooking up Green-quality food, there's no way the quality will drop to Gray if you cook with Green ingredients! These dishes are almost useless to us, but players just entering the Realm from their tutorial mission, or even players who've finished one or two regular missions—might need them. I'm also sure that even if they're not interested, we can vendor them to the workers. We might need to calculate at which quality we incur losses, or if we might be able to break even despite selling it to the stores run by workers," Alex explains.

"This sounds complicated, but I see what you're trying to say. I want to sleep for a few hours, but after that, I'll go to the Realm to check for more ingredients and to check the prices offered to me by workers. I'll try to come up with a few calculations after that," Menchi says, not particularly excited about the tasks but understanding their importance.

"I guess I'll help you out and check the market. I'll read a bit more while you sleep," Tereza says, planning to tag along.

"That sounds good. Don't forget to message Rishi and ask about his opinion too, that guy might have some suggestions," Alex suggests. "Anyway, Menchi, I don't want to pressure you, but we all need at least Green-quality food items for our next mission. We have 13 days left. There could also be a scarcity in the Realm, so we need to start buying these items at least a few days before our mission. I'd say you have roughly 10 days to continue your experiments. After that, we'll need to decide if we buy food for our next mission or if we can use your cooking. Honestly, I think you'll succeed, especially if you use Green-quality ingredients."

"That's no pressure, Alex. I'll be able to create Green-quality dishes, I promise you. I've been cooking my entire life—this is nothing. Give me a few days, and you'll be surprised," Menchi says with absolute confidence.

As Menchi heads to her bedroom for a nap, Alex and Tereza continue studying. Aside from Harry Potter, Alex also researches One Piece and Devil Fruits.

At one point, Alex pulls out his Devil Fruit, conjures grenades, and tries to somehow use his Nen to connect them.

It takes Alex two hours before his Aura is completely drained, and he realizes that what he's doing is pointless. Blushing slightly, he notices Tereza smirking at his failed attempts.

"It was worth a try," Alex says, attempting to justify his ridiculous dream of infusing the Devil Fruit into his Annihilation Grenade lvl 4, creating living bat grenades that could fly directly into enemies' faces.

That would have been such a strong ability. Combined with In, I'd have had access to invisible, agile, flying bats that could assassinate almost anyone. Too bad it didn't work. But I guess it makes sense. Only Vegapunk knows the secret of infusing Zoan Devil Fruits into specific items. And besides, my grenades aren't even real—they're just a conjured Hatsu, I guess this was bound to fail, Alex reasons.

"So now that that's over… I don't have a single remaining use for this thing. It's trash," Alex says and casually tosses the fruit toward Tereza.

Tereza desperately stretches her body to carefully catch the fruit before it falls.

"ARE YOU INSANE? Don't throw this treasure around like it's trash! What if you damage it? This is easily worth 250,000 FC—probably way more in the main part of the Realm!" Tereza exclaims, clutching the fruit tightly.

Alex smiles, slightly amused by her reaction, and responds dryly, "You know, your reaction is kind of funny. That's probably how I'd react. You're acting out of character! Now stop your annoying hesitation already, or do I have to issue an actual order?"

"…Are you sure?" Tereza asks, confirming his intentions once more.

"Yes!" Alex replies decisively.

Tereza stares at the rare [Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Desmodus Draculae] in her hand one last time, understanding the weight of her decision. Eating it will change her life forever.

Finally, she gulps and takes a bite.

"..."

"..."

Alex and Tereza stare at each other as nothing happens—Tereza's teeth can't pierce the fruit.

"I think this is similar to an orange or a grapefruit. You probably have to peel it or something," Alex reasons, making Tereza blush a little as a drop of sweat trickles down her face.

He stands up and walks toward the kitchen, saying, "I'll get you a knife."

A few seconds later, Tereza skillfully peels the fruit with a knife in hand. To her delight, the flesh of the fruit is quite moist, though no juices are leaking from it.

"Hehehe, this will be funny!" Alex says, his grin mischievous as Tereza looks at him with a confused expression.

"Why? What's wrong?" Tereza asks, narrowing her eyes.

"You know Devil Fruits are known to be very tasty. Also, there's this rule that you need to eat the entire fruit so as not to waste it," Alex says, his tone light but his thoughts scheming. Hahahahaha, that's your punishment for not knowing the lore, he thinks to himself, holding back a chuckle.

"That's complete bullshit. One bite is enough… Still, I will eat it all. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you don't hold back on things like that," Tereza says confidently as she begins eating the first piece of fruit.

She must have wanted to eat the fruit from the very beginning if she knew that. She probably researched it… I guess she just wasn't comfortable asking me to give up something this expensive. Silly Tereza, Alex thinks, a bit touched by her attitude.

Tereza shows no visible reaction as she silently eats the fruit, slurping a little while chewing and swallowing the juicy pieces.

Alex watches her with a newfound respect, staring in awe.

"I've eaten worse things in my youth as a child. This is bad tasting, but I can feel something unique. Definitely not as bad as you made it out to be," Tereza states, unimpressed by the rumors of horrific-tasting Devil Fruits.

"Forget the damn taste… Do you feel anything?" Alex asks, leaning forward with curiosity.

Tereza looks ahead, her eyes narrowing as she focuses. "I'm getting a few messages. The process takes a few minutes, apparently. A new innate skill is being generated."

A few minutes later, Tereza smiles and activates her Hybrid form.

Her teeth sharpen, and two dark purple wings sprout from her back, ripping through her sweater, which is clearly not suitable for this transformation. She's left wearing only a bra as her wings stretch outward.

"Wow… that is indeed impressive!" Alex says, staring at her in awe. Her busty figure, combined with her new purple bat, or more devil-like wings, leaves him unable to look away.

Damn, she looks like a succubus. This is one of my fantasies… Alex thinks, his reaction quite intense as he marvels at her new appearance.

Tereza looks around, a wide smile spreading across her face. "This is incredible. It's just lvl 0, and I can upgrade it four more times for now, but I already feel amazing," she says, experimenting with her wings and lifting herself a few inches off the ground.

"Don't even think about flying around, not here, at least," Alex warns her quickly. "Maybe at night, if we leave the city and drive to the countryside. You could try flying in a forest or something. It's less than an hour if we take my car."

"Yeah, that sounds good," Tereza agrees, nodding. "Anyway, I can see so well now! It's like I needed glasses before, and now I've finally put them on. And my ears… they're so sensitive. I can hear people talking on the street, hundreds of cars—everything. It's insane. Even my eyes feel different. I have some kind of thermal vision, and I can see your blood flowing through your body," she says, her excitement barely contained.

"In the Anime, this fruit is considered a normal Zoan," Alex begins, "but it has the special ability to suck the blood of its target, weakening them. I also remember Stussy having the ability to use that special sight you just mentioned. Honestly, the abilities of this fruit are pretty rare and almost lean into being a Mythical Zoan. It's easily one of the more impressive Zoans out there," Alex explains.

For once, Tereza doesn't mock Alex for his Anime knowledge. Instead, she listens attentively, understanding how vital this information is for her.

"You know…" Alex hesitates for a moment before continuing, "I might regret this, but if you want, try sucking a little of my blood. We need to figure out how much it weakens the target and how much of a buff you get from it. But seriously—don't overdo it, or I'll be really angry this time. For real."

Tereza blushes slightly and whispers, "You know, ever since transforming and getting these wings, I've been kind of in the mood for a little snack. I guess it's feeding time."

Without waiting for a reply, she undresses herself, also forcefully tearing away Alex's pants and shirt in one swift motion. Sitting on top of him, her naked breasts press against his chest as she leans down, her voice soft.

"Thank you… I'll be gentle," she whispers, kissing Alex softly on the lips.

Her mouth stretches into a wide smile as she opens it as far as it can go, her sharp fangs slowly sinking into Alex's neck.
