"Slow-Slow Fruit."
"Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit."
"Spider-Spider Fruit."
"Float-Float Fruit."
"Now that I possess four Devil Fruits, I can summon four special soldiers."
"I hope the characters summoned by these Devil Fruits will be as powerful as Saitama."
Benedict looked at the four Devil Fruits stored in the system's warehouse, filled with anticipation.
Besides the Devil Fruits, there were also two treasure chests, a Gold Treasure Chest and a Silver Treasure Chest.
More rewards to look forward to.
Taking a deep breath, Benedict rubbed his hands and said, "System, open the Silver Treasure Chest."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Justice Points * 50000."
...
Benedict's face darkened. Even though he knew the system wouldn't reply, he couldn't help but ask, "System, are you poor?"
"You're giving me Justice Points to trick me into spending money?"
"Even a weapon or a construction blueprint would be better than giving me Justice Points."
...
After nearly five minutes of incessant rambling, Benedict finally had to accept the reality.
Having Justice Points was much better than getting a "Thank you for your patronage."
"System, open the Gold Treasure Chest," Benedict silently instructed, his gaze fixed on the Gold Treasure Chest.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Devil Fruit Juicer."
"What?"
"System, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"You gave me a Devil Fruit Juicer for a Gold Treasure Chest?"
"Are you kidding me? It's just a fruit juicer!"
"At least give me 100,000 Justice Points, but you give me a juicer?"
Benedict was stunned by the sudden prize.
Thus, Benedict couldn't help but go on a furious rant, almost directly insulting the system.
Even though the system wouldn't retort, the impulse remained unchanged.
Outside the Marshal's Office.
The busy high-ranking officials of the Xuanwu Navy looked at each other, perplexed by the roaring sounds coming from the Marshal's Office, not knowing what had happened inside.
Listening to the conversation, it didn't seem like a major issue.
Today was a day to celebrate defeating Golden Lion Shiki and eradicating the Flying Pirates, showcasing the Xuanwu Navy's might. Why was the Marshal angry?
Nearly five minutes later, the scolding stopped.
Benedict's eyes widened, his mouth agape, filled with disbelief.
Devil Fruit Juicer: A divine artifact with special magic, capable of juicing a complete Devil Fruit to obtain a drop of awakening serum.
Awakening Serum: Collect 20 drops of awakening serum to have a high probability of breaking through physical limits and obtaining a God-Tier physique.
God-Tier Physique: Surpasses physical limits, possessing a god-like physique.
God-Tier Physique Attributes: SSS-class healing ability, SSS-class defense, SSS-class stamina, SSS-class mental power, SS-class speed, SSS-class potential.
"You damn son of a..."
"Damn it!"
"Shit!"
...
Benedict finally couldn't hold back, unleashing a torrent of curses.
A fluent stream of expletives, truly impressive.
For a moment, those outside were even more bewildered.
What was wrong with the Marshal?
And what did the words 'damn it,' 'shit,' and 'discard' mean?
Benedict truly hadn't expected the Devil Fruit Juicer to have such miraculous effects.
It was practically defying the heavens.
Awesome plus!
With 20 drops of awakening serum, there was a high probability of awakening a God-Tier physique.
The six SSS-class attributes and potential were far more appealing than summoning twenty Devil Fruit users.
Especially if he awakened the God-Tier physique, he would be able to sweep through this world unimpeded, with no one able to stop him.
Even the mysterious Im, who had lived for eight hundred years, would be easily killed.
"Ding, Devil Fruit detected, does the host wish to use the Devil Fruit Juicer?"
The system's voice sounded, and the excited Benedict instinctively wanted to say 'Juice'.
But then, he immediately stopped himself.
If he didn't specify, which Devil Fruit to juice, and if he juiced the Float-Float Fruit, it would be troublesome.
"System, juice the Spider-Spider Fruit," Benedict hesitated for a moment before choosing the Zoan-type Spider-Spider Fruit.
The Slow-Slow Fruit's ability was still quite useful in necessary battles.
The Float-Float Fruit's ability was also monstrous. The most basic operation was to control a giant island and bury anyone he disliked, or if that didn't work, he could use a Marine warship as an aerial combat aircraft for long-range high-altitude strikes, which was excellent.
As for the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, although it was a Mythical Zoan, the abilities shown so far were not particularly useful.
However, he was somewhat reluctant to juice it.
Therefore, he now hoped that the Spider Fruit would indeed yield awakening serum.
The Devil Fruit Juicer could not be taken out from the system's usage interface.
"Roar!"
"Ah!"
As the Devil Fruit Juicer activated, the Spider-Spider Fruit, amidst a colorful glow, seemed to undergo some violent collision and began to tremble.
At the same time, Benedict heard a final, tragic cry resembling a struggle in his mind.
This sound made Benedict instinctively want to cover his ears.
What was going on?
Where was this sound coming from?
Benedict was somewhat bewildered, and his expression immediately became more serious.
It was said that Devil Fruits were the manifestation of devils, so there was a devil's soul hidden within the Devil Fruit.
Once a Devil Fruit was consumed, its soul would also enter the user's body. This process was sometimes called 'reincarnation,' sometimes 'curse,' and sometimes 'parasitism.'
Reincarnation was proposed based on the theory of fate.
They believed that devils within Devil Fruits each had a mission, which caused them to appear near destined individuals or await their consumption by destined individuals, thereby merging with the user's soul without affecting the soul's core, becoming 'reincarnated' and thus fulfilling their mission.
The curse referred to the fact that after consuming a Devil Fruit, one would become unable to swim and could only eat one, which was commonly mentioned.
The reason for this was that they believed a person had only one soul and could only fuse with one devil; allowing a second devil to interfere would cause internal strife, leading to the destruction of the host's soul.
The theory of parasitism suggested that Devil Fruits originated from the Devil Fruit Tree, which was a colossal devil possessing numerous abilities. To continue living, it had to seek soul nutrients, thus imparting its abilities into torn souls and implanting them into fruits.
People who consumed Devil Fruits, upon their death, the Devil Fruits would reappear in the world, the host's soul would be devoured, the devil's soul would grow stronger, until one day, when the Devil Fruit returned to the Devil Fruit Tree, the devil would reappear in the world.
The scene that had just occurred made Benedict seriously ponder whether the rumors about Devil Fruits were true.
If they were, juicing Devil Fruits would undoubtedly be a better choice.
Who knew if, in the future, a group of Devil Fruit users around him might suddenly betray him.
