Chương 1957: Titan Fruit (Part 1)

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp and loud applause suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the entire space like thunder.

The five elders walked side by side and stepped onto the dueling platform, their eyes all falling on the CP0 agent who was shirtless, panting, yet still imposing.

One of them was Nassou Ron, who smiled and couldn't hide his excitement as he praised, "Hmm... outstanding, truly exceptional! No wonder he is the most outstanding genius in the more than 800-year history of the CP organization. He truly lives up to his reputation!"

"Powerful physique, proficient in physical techniques, and possessing a solidified domineering aura..."

Maz Saint stared intently at Rob Lucci before him, as if seeing another person reflected in him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You remind me of someone!"

Pitt Saint chimed in, "That's right, it's that legendary figure—'Black Arm' Zephyr! And in my opinion, your future will be even more glorious and brilliant than his!"

At this moment, Rob Lucci's displayed strength is truly astonishing.

His strong physique, superb martial arts skills, and refined yet powerful aura were all exactly like those of the infamous "Black Arm" Zephyr.

If one had to find a difference, it would probably be that Rob Lucci is still quite immature, and his true potential has not yet been fully unleashed.

When people thought of "Black Arm" Zephyr, who only began to emerge in his thirties and became a Navy Admiral at nearly forty, they no longer felt too harsh on this rising star.

Just then, the previously silent Saint Vochuli suddenly spoke up: "Satan Saint, look at this guy's physique! It's practically tailor-made for that Devil Fruit you have!"

Upon hearing this, Satan Saint, who was already quite interested in Rob Lucci, nodded in agreement with delight, expressing his great liking for the young man.

Finally, Saint Satan waved his hand and ordered, "Alright, put him down! This contest ends here, and you are undoubtedly the winner!"

Upon hearing this, Rob Lucci slowly released his grip, and the wild beast that he had been holding tightly in his palm fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string, kneeling on the ground in a disheveled manner.

It should be noted that Rob Lucci only made two moves just now, but those two seemingly simple attacks were both unexpected and opportunistic.

He cleverly exploited and fully utilized Aramaki's arrogance, thus successfully delivering a fatal blow to his opponent; in particular, the final strike was incredibly powerful, far surpassing the power of the hundred punches Aramaki had unleashed before!

At this moment, Satan Saint, standing to the side, glanced at Huang Mu expressionlessly and coldly said, "You lost!"

Hearing this, Huang Mu endured the excruciating pain, clutching his injured shoulder as he struggled to his feet. With a stubborn and nonchalant expression, he replied, "So what if I lost? I don't care!"

As he spoke, his face still wore that extremely annoying arrogant expression.

However, Satan Saint was already well aware of the Wild Shepherd's personality traits, so he didn't waste any words. He simply stretched out his right hand and waved it casually.

In an instant, a thick, seemingly unsolvable black aura suddenly burst forth from his palm.

As the eerie black mist slowly dissipated, a pure white Devil Fruit, shaped like a banana, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is my most treasured possession, collected over many years—a Devil Fruit! Its name is 'Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Titan Mode'!"

Saint Satan, while displaying the mysterious Devil Fruit in his hand, began to explain at length: "Whoever consumes this will gain earth-shattering power like a Titan, possessing unparalleled destructive strength; not only that, but will also become invulnerable and indestructible!

Back then, the previous wielder of this treasure, relying on the power of this Devil Fruit, destroyed more than twenty kingdoms in one fell swoop, but ultimately could not escape my grasp, defeated by me, and then reincarnated into my hands!"

At this point, Saint Satan gazed at the Titan Fruit in his hand, a hint of sighing in his voice.

At the same time, it was easy to tell from his contemptuous and disdainful tone that he clearly looked down on and disdained the former user.

"I remember over three hundred years ago, in the North Blue, there appeared a fearsome conqueror who struck terror into the hearts of all. This conqueror was originally just an ordinary, unremarkable mortal, but after eating the Titan Fruit, everything changed drastically. In an instant, he underwent an astonishing transformation from a mere mortal into a peerless master whom even a Vice Admiral-level powerhouse could hardly contend with!

And coincidentally, at that time, you were carrying out an important mission in the North Blue, so you decisively eliminated him in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if this guy had been allowed to venture into the Grand Line, another terrifying figure like Whitebeard might have been born!"

At this moment, Maz Saint suddenly recalled that long-buried past and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"That's right, exactly! That guy isn't fully mature yet, and it will be some time before he truly unleashes his potential. But even so, in less than three months since he obtained the Titan Fruit, he has grown into a formidable enemy that even a vice admiral finds troublesome. This shows that this fruit is definitely no ordinary thing!"

Saint Satan nodded in deep agreement. Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately turned to the Titan Fruit, which was emitting a strange light, that Saint Satan was holding tightly in his hand.

Wow, your luck is absolutely incredible!

Piet Saint looked on with envy and couldn't help but sigh out in admiration.

"You know, apart from the legendary treasure possessed by the Figarand family, there is probably no other treasure that can compare to this incredibly precious Devil Fruit!"

The Saint of Vociulli, standing nearby, also marveled and expressed his deep agreement.

For eight hundred years, the World Government has been well aware of the power and potential dangers contained in Devil Fruits.

Therefore, they have always spared no effort in collecting these mysterious fruits and sealing them away to prevent them from falling into the hands of the people or being used by criminals, thereby bringing disaster and chaos to the whole world and endangering the world government's own stable foundation of rule.
