Chương 28: Classification of Devil Fruits

At the Home of the Devil Fruits"That background is so fake."

"Say that again!"

"Fake?!" A young live streamer, clearly born in the '90s but acting like someone from the '50s, threw a bucket into a crystal-clear river with a flourish to prove his point. The water splashed, but the current swiftly carried the bucket away.

"Damn it!" What started as a cool move quickly became a frantic scramble to retrieve the bucket. Watching the young man's hurried actions, Rosh couldn't help but chuckle. Silly online content always provided plenty of amusement. But to be fair, the scenery in those videos was so beautiful it almost seemed unreal, so it wasn't surprising that viewers questioned the authenticity of the background.

"Shopkeeper!" Just as Rosh was aimlessly scrolling through short-form videos, a familiar voice interrupted him. It was Wesley, who had recently purchased the Bullet-Bullet Fruit, back for another visit. And this time, he wasn't alone. He brought along a massive, bald man dressed in a white suit. Kingpin! Rosh instantly recognized the imposing figure. His heart quickened with excitement—Kingpin was a potential big client.

However, Rosh maintained his calm exterior, setting down his phone with a smile and greeting Wesley, "Mr. Wesley, welcome back. Please, both of you, come in."

"Shopkeeper, let me introduce you to Mr. Fisk," Wesley said, gesturing to his boss.

"Wilson Fisk," Kingpin introduced himself, extending a hand toward Rosh. The man's sheer size radiated an almost palpable sense of pressure.

"Mr. Fisk, welcome to the shop." Rosh shook Kingpin's hand politely. However, thanks to his knowledge and experiences, Rosh remained composed, only mildly curious about meeting such a legendary figure. In his eyes, Deadpool, Kingpin, Helen Cho, or any other random passerby were all the same.

"Shopkeeper, Wesley's Bullet-Buller Fruit was truly astonishing. I could hardly believe something as miraculous as Devil Fruits actually existed. That's why I couldn't wait to come and see for myself. Would you mind giving me an introduction?" Kingpin wasted no time with small talk. After a brief greeting, he got straight to the point, revealing the purpose of his visit.

"Of course!" Rosh agreed readily.

"Since Mr. Fisk has already seen the Bullet-Bullet Fruit in action, I can skip some explanations." You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"Mr. Fisk, please take a look here. These are Devil Fruits. As you've witnessed, simply consuming one grants the user extraordinary abilities, like those of Mr. Wesley." As Rosh spoke, Kingpin turned his attention to the display case filled with bizarre, colorful fruits. His expression showed apparent astonishment—he hadn't expected Devil Fruits to look so strange. If he hadn't seen the miracles with Helen Cho and Wesley, he would have never dared to eat something that looked so peculiar.

"These are indeed no ordinary fruits," Kingpin remarked, genuinely impressed.

"If you can set aside the common misconceptions, they're quite beautiful, aren't they?" Rosh said with a smile.

"Indeed, they're almost like works of art," Wesley agreed, nodding earnestly. Whether he genuinely felt that way or was just echoing Rosh's words was anyone's guess.

"This world is full of ignorance. Many people lack the wisdom to recognize true beauty, but that's not their fault. Not everyone is fortunate enough to encounter something truly remarkable. I'm fortunate. I now have the opportunity to witness and engage with something as extraordinary as Devil Fruits." Leave it to someone like Kingpin to speak with such grandeur words. Rosh hadn't expected a crime lord to express himself so eloquently, but Kingpin's words held truth when he thought about it.

Devil Fruits were indeed rare and extraordinary, and believing in them, let alone purchasing them, required both luck and a unique perspective—something only a few people possessed.

"Mr. Fisk, I assure you, Devil Fruits won't disappoint you," Rosh said with a smile.

"I'm sure your primary concern is the abilities these fruits can grant. Allow me to focus on that."

"The Devil Fruits currently available in the shop can be categorized into two main types based on their abilities: Zoan and Paramecia."

"Zoan Fruits are fairly straightforward. As the name suggests, they grant the user the abilities of a specific animal. At the same time, they also cause the user's body to undergo a transformation into that animal."

"Simply put, a Zoan Fruit allows you to transform into an animal. However, this transformation only affects the body, not the mind. For example, the Ox-Ox Fruit Model: Bison, available in the shop, lets the user transform into a bison, granting them the bison's immense strength, durability, and stamina." Rosh briefly explained the Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

However, since most people would be hesitant about transforming into animals—especially in a world like Marvel's, where such concepts were far from common—Rosh didn't dwell on it and quickly moved on to Paramecia-type fruits.

"Paramecia-type Devil Fruits grant users a wide variety of superpowers. Wesley's Bullet-Bullet Fruit is one example of a Paramecia Fruit."

"Besides the Bullet-Bulelt Fruit, the shop offers several other Paramecia Fruits. For instance, the Chop-Chop Fruit allows the user to split their own body into pieces, while the Spring-Spring Fruit lets the user's body act like a spring." As Rosh spoke, he picked up a catalog and pointed to two different Devil Fruits, explaining them to Kingpin. Sure enough, Kingpin seemed far more interested in the Paramecia-type fruits.

He even showed clear signs of excitement when seeing certain fruits, indicating that they had struck a chord with him.

"Shopkeeper, besides Zoan and Paramecia, are there other types of Devil Fruits?" Wesley, who had been listening intently, asked out of curiosity. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Next Chapter: The Perfect Fruit for Kingpin Next Next Chapter: This is Practically Magic!
