Klein curiously clicked it open—
Then his face darkened.
"Is this supposed to be a normal human skill?"
"Damn!"
It was that gag move the Straw Hat Pirates pulled off back on Thriller Bark, the one where Franky, Chopper, Usopp, Robin, Zoro, and Sanji fused together into a giant warrior...
A technique straight out of a cody genre!
Abstract.
'Do I look like the abstract type?!'
I, Klein, a paragon of both looks and strength, would never be lumped in with these bizarre moves!
Wait, what?
A combination of Whitebeard, Garp, Sengoku, Kaido, Zephyr, and Klein?
...Maybe even... Tsuru?
That actually doesn't sound too bad!
Wait...?
This includes Devil Fruit fusion transformations too?
We've got a golden giant Buddha, a blue dragon?
Brothers, it's ti—!
WHAT IS A MAN'S ROMANCE? SAY IT WITH —
Fusion!
Assembly!
Armor!
Transformation!
...
Well, okay, there were other "styles" too—like maids, succubi, teachers, nurses, older-sister-in-law types, queens, bunny girls, cha girls, catgirls…
Ahem, ahem!
How did we get so off track all of a sudden?
Anyway, back to the point.
Fishman Karate? Move aside!
Aside from Jinbe, the rest of 'em were barely watchable!
Next up…
Supre Ocean Conquest!
That terrifying move had left a deep impression on Klein—it turned soone into a literal mummy in one shot!
A combo move unleashed by the combined might of the Four Emperors Kaido and BIG·MOM, its destructive power could reduce everything in a radius of hundreds of kiloters to ashes.
Terrifying!
Of course, when Dorry and Brogy used it, the effect was... quite a bit weaker.
"Well, combination techniques usually require two people... But thankfully—"
"I'm the kind of guy who cheats the system. I can do it solo!"
Klein thought of the Paracia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit—with it, he could summon his own shadow.
And wouldn't that count as two people?
Of course, using Clay-Clay, Wax-Wax, or even so Logia fruits—like his brother-in-law Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit—to create clones was also an option.
As for how powerful those combinations would be... that needed testing.
"This could be a solid finishing move!" Klein was thrilled.
As expected—
The more you pay, the stronger you beco!
And this was just the beginning—he was already getting this much stronger! He was overjoyed!
His heart pounded. "This wave—I'm going straight to Admiral-level! No less!"
"Otherwise, I just don't feel safe!"
Rubbing his hands together with excitent, he declared, "Let's open the Devil Fruit Treasure Chest first! This thing's the perfect ga-changer!"
Currently, he was equipped with the Chop-Chop Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Against swordsn, the Chop-Chop Fruit was super effective!
Swordsman Nesis!
Divine Evasion?
Let it co!
Even if you slash —
I won't die!
The one thing that made Klein uneasy was:
"If soone attacks with Conqueror's Haki, would the Chop-Chop Fruit still work?"
The issue was, they kept adding patches to Conqueror's Haki later on—like that rope storing Joy Boy's Haki nonsense.
So strong it could split the sky, cancel Saint Saturn's teleportation magic circle, and even force the Five Elders back into their human forms, returning them all to Mary Geoise.
Ridiculous.
What level of Conqueror's Haki would that even be?
Klein opened his inventory and chose the all-important Devil Fruit Treasure Chest to unlock.
[Obtained Fruit: Paracia-Type – Bomb-Bomb Fruit!]
"Art is an explosion, huh?" That instantly popped into his head.
Straight from another Shonen series—but hey, those three were all "Big Three" for a reason.
It also reminded him of Zoro slicing a booger—yes, because the Bomb-Bomb Fruit let you blow up any part of your body—even your boogers! Even the air you exhaled could explode!
But MR.5 had turned it into a total joke fruit!
And yet the Bomb-Bomb Fruit user isn't hard by explosions. Even Deidara could self-detonate and co out fine. What's there to fear?
Problem was, MR.5's level was too low. His explosion power...
Not even worth looking at.
He turned himself into a walking cannonball—how la was that?
But if you mastered martial arts, combined with "explosive punches" and a brute-force style, pairing it with the Chop-Chop Fruit could actually work!
There were even artistic variations—turning your hair or blood into bombs. Mix that with vampiric powers or teleportation fruits?
Or better yet—awaken the fruit and turn everything into a bomb?
Explosive art!
Endless possibilities!

[Obtained Fruit: Paracia – Scissor-Scissor Fruit]

Then, Klein opened his Battle Pass reward chests—the Paracia Devil Fruit Chest and Zoan Devil Fruit Chest.
[Obtained: Paracia – Flower-Flower Fruit!]
[Obtained: Zoan – Mole Fruit]
[Obtained: Zoan – Human-Human Fruit (Commoner Form)]

"You're telling I got Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit?" Klein bead.
Sounds like it should be a Plant-Type, right?
But it's actually a Paracia—and Robin had developed it in such a… strange direction. Turning it into a limbs-on-demand fruit?
Maybe it had sothing to do with her childhood. As a kid, she had to do chores, so she developed the fruit into sothing that would make even factory workers cry and capitalists rejoice.
What made Klein so happy was this:
The Flower-Flower Fruit had incredible synergy potential—it could combo with so many others!
The simplest?
Flower-Flower Dark-Dark Fruit = ultimate anti-Devil Fruit user loadout!
Klein's grin stretched wide. He was ecstatic.
"Top-tier fighters who don't rely on Devil Fruits are rare. Most of them do. Which ans... the advantage is mine!"
The Five Elders, the Marines' current and forr Admirals, three out of the four Emperors...
Even Luffy was a Devil Fruit user!
With Flower-Flower Fruit Dark-Dark Fruit, he was practically a hard counter to all of them. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI~Fire
As for the other fruits—only the Phoenix was a Mythical Zoan, with built-in healing. Not bad.
But the Magma-Magma Fruit... made Klein pause.
"That's basically a direct upgrade from the Fla-Fla Fruit..."
"Interesting."
teor Volcano, Great Eruption—the destructive potential was insane, especially during the Marineford War.
Sakazuki was the MVP of that war, no question.
Now that Klein had racked up so many fruits, he was left pondering:
Which Devil Fruit should he use as his main visible power?
The Logia – Magma-Magma Fruit?
The Mythical Zoan – Phoenix Fruit?
Or maybe even the Logia – Rumble-Rumble Fruit?
None of the above.
