Twilight Allen took the Devil Fruit and walked to the bow of the ship.
Thinking about the descriptions of the Devil Fruit’s taste in the original work, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
A moment later, Twilight Allen finally steeled himself.
“Damn it, I’ve read about people eating so much crap in web novels before, one more bite won’t kill me.” Having said that, Twilight Allen took a big bite of the fruit.
His face instantly turned a deep purple; the taste was indeed overwhelming.
It tasted like taking fish mint that had been soaked in the brine of canned herring for forty-nine days and eating it with French blue cheese.
After a long while, Twilight Allen finally swallowed the lump in his mouth, watching as the remaining Devil Fruit in his hand gradually withered away.
Twilight Allen threw the rest of the fruit into the sea.
He had read fan fiction about One Piece before where some transmigrators were afraid that eating only one bite wouldn’t work and chose to eat the whole thing.
Twilight Allen had to admire them as hardcore individuals.
“Whoever wants to eat it can have it, that one bite I just took was already too much.” With that, Twilight Allen began to sense the power within his body.
A few seconds later, Twilight Allen controlled a purple light to cover an empty wine bottle nearby.
He then controlled the bottle to fly towards Marco, who was sweeping the floor.
With a crisp “bang,” the wine bottle made intimate contact with Marco’s pineapple-like head.
“Ow!
Who hit me?
Twilight Allen, was that you?” Marco screamed while clutching his head, then glared angrily at Twilight Allen.
Twilight Allen smiled slightly.
“Don’t mind it, Marco.
I’m helping you train to awaken your Armament Haki.
Edward Newgate said that unconscious attacks make it easier to draw out the Haki within your body.” Twilight Allen decisively shifted the blame onto Whitebeard.
“Is that so?
Thank you, Twilight Allen.” The current Marco was not yet the wise and calm first commander of the Whitebeard Pirates he would become later; he was easily fooled by Twilight Allen.
Having just acquired his new power, Twilight Allen’s mind was full of ideas.
He immediately manipulated Gravity to press down on himself, feeling his whole body sink.
“It’s about three times the original Gravity.
Is this my current limit?
What about reversing the direction of Gravity upwards?” Twilight Allen then controlled the direction of Gravity around himself to point upwards.
He watched as his body slowly rose, hovering about half a meter off the ground.
Although he couldn’t control Gravity to fly very high yet, it was enough to make Twilight Allen happy.
“In the future, when I’m more skilled with this ability, I can push Gravity outwards in all directions from myself.
Then I can fly above the enemy’s head and drop a’Shinra Tensei’ on them.” Thinking about his future heroic figure, Twilight Allen revealed a smile that was easily misunderstood.
When Duke walked out of the cabin and saw Twilight Allen floating around, he was startled.
He patted his chest and asked, “Twilight Allen, did you eat the Ghost Ghost Fruit?
Are you a ghost man?” Twilight Allen, who was testing his ability, suddenly heard Duke’s words and countless black lines appeared on his head.
“You idiot, this is the Gravity Fruit!
It can control the Gravity on myself or within a certain space.
This fruit is very powerful.” Hearing Twilight Allen’s explanation, Duke slapped the deck and laughed loudly.
“Are you going to say you’re terrifyingly strong again?
Are you going to challenge the boss to a duel again?” Twilight Allen was instantly triggered by these words.
Challenging Whitebeard to a duel had become his dark history.
Looking at the laughing Duke, he controlled Gravity to lift Duke into the air, then reversed it and released the ability.
Duke instantly hit the ground head-first, resulting in a large bump.
“You bastard, what are you doing?” Duke yelled while clutching his head, then pulled out his sniper rifle and fired several shots at Twilight Allen.
Twilight Allen slightly tilted his head to dodge the bullets.
“Getting worked up?
I’m just showing you the ability of the Gravity Fruit.” “Cut the crap, take this!” Just like that, Twilight Allen’s daily training routine added ability control practice.
The crew members on the ship were frequently subjected to Twilight Allen’s cruelty, causing complaints to fill the ship, but they soon succumbed to Twilight Allen’s tyranny.
— On the other side, at a Marine branch, a meeting was being held in the Admiral’s office.
Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru were seated in order across from Kong.
“We have received information that the Rocks Pirates have mobilized again.
This time, their target is the Marine branches throughout the New World.” Kong, with his mohawk hairstyle, said while holding his head.
“Sigh, is the information reliable?” Tsuru glanced at Garp, who was eating rice crackers, sighed, and asked Kong with a weary heart.
“It should be reliable.
The information came from an information broker in the New World.
She may have also sold our defenses in the New World to Rocks,” Kong replied.
Sengoku thought for a moment.
“Information from an information broker still has a certain degree of credibility.
After all, the intelligence business is built on reputation; they wouldn’t just do a one-off deal.” “Hmm, so what is your intention, Mr.
Kong?” Tsuru nodded in agreement with Sengoku and asked for Kong’s plan of action.
Kong pondered for a moment before responding.
“My intention is to abandon the branches in the latter half of the New World and do our best to ensure the branches in the first half are not lost.
The branch in Klins City connects to the first half of the Grand Line and cannot be lost.
As long as the branch here still exists, we have the possibility of re-entering the New World.” “As for the personnel in the latter half of the New World, I will order them all to withdraw to the Headquarters.
It is too far from the Headquarters, and without the G-5 Branch, we would be unable to provide support in time.” “As for the follow-up, I will communicate with the Gorosei and request their support to expand the Marine’s military armaments.
Otherwise, we have no way of dealing with Rocks.
I believe they will agree to our request considering the threat of Rocks.” Sengoku nodded after hearing Kong’s deployment plan.
“Then Garp and I will station ourselves at the Klins City branch in the first half.
By the way, who is the officer of the Rocks Pirates heading to the Klins City branch?” “Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and the captain of his second division, the sniper Duke,” Kong replied to Sengoku with a solemn expression.
Sengoku was also wearing a solemn expression.
“Whitebeard, huh?
Then one of us, Garp or I, will go to stop Whitebeard, and the other will do their best to eliminate Whitebeard’s subordinates, and then combine our two…” “Hmph…
snore…
hmph…
snore.” Garp had accidentally fallen asleep while eating rice crackers, bubbles emerging from his nose.
Zephyr, Tsuru, and Kong, who were sitting there, looked at Garp speechlessly.
Sengoku, having been interrupted in his deployment, had veins popping on his forehead.
“Garp, you bastard, wake up and listen carefully!
Whitebeard is not someone to be trifled with.” The bubble in Garp’s nostril instantly popped.
“Huh?
Is the meeting over?
Then I’m going back to the East Blue for vacation.” If Sengoku had eaten the Stare-Stare Fruit, Garp would definitely have died on the spot right now.
“Did you even hear a word I said, you bastard?” Sengoku instantly turned on ‘hairdryer mode’.
Seeing this scene, Kong, fearing that Sengoku might get so angry he’d have a stroke, mediated.
“Sengoku’s proposal is sound.
I agree.
What about everyone else?” “Agreed.” “Seconded.” “Then I’ll leave it to you, Sengoku and Garp,” Kong said, looking at Sengoku and Garp.
Sengoku stood up and gave a military salute.
“Understood.
I will set off for Klins now to make pre-battle preparations.” Having said that, Sengoku stood up and walked out of the conference room, dragging the bewildered Garp along with him.
It might not seem tempting right nobut who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
