Chapter 109: Two Captains of Handyman Division!
Upon sensing the rising energy fluctuations coming from the two, Ryuunosuke imdiately pulled up his system panel.
"Gunado, current strength: B. Potential value: S."
"Urzi, current strength: B. Potential value: S."
The mont he saw their nas displayed, Ryuunosuke understood why they'd experienced such a change. Their potential had reached S-level or higher, triggering the system's recognition.
At the sa ti, they were both affected by the halo's buff, directly boosting their combat strength up to an A rating.
As for Devil Fruits... Ryuunosuke turned his gaze toward Chrollo, who was standing quietly nearby.
Chrollo instantly felt a chill crawl down his spine as Ryuunosuke stared at him with a calculating expression.
He knew that look. Ryuunosuke was definitely planning sothing—and it involved him.
"Captain... is there sothing you need to do?" Chrollo asked, stepping forward without hesitation.
After all, he was Ryuunosuke's crew mber. If his captain needed sothing from him, it was an honor.
"Hand over two Paracia-type Devil Fruits," Ryuunosuke said bluntly.
Chrollo looked visibly annoyed, letting out a deep sigh.
He had just gone through hell to collect nine Devil Fruits, and now Ryuunosuke was asking for two of them?
Even for soone like Chrollo, Devil Fruits weren't easy to co by. They were still rare and highly sought after across the seas.
"...Understood," Chrollo nodded and disappeared.
When he returned a mont later, he was holding two Devil Fruits in hand.
He didn't know their exact effects yet, but in this world, there were no useless Devil Fruits—only people who failed to master them.
Ryuunosuke firmly believed that.
After all, Katakuri's Mochi-Mochi Fruit had been developed to such an extent that he was able to overpower Luffy.
It just went to show—no matter how weird a fruit might seem, if you mastered it properly, it could beco terrifyingly powerful.
"Gunado. Urzi," Ryuunosuke called out, holding up the two fruits.
"These are Devil Fruits. You don't have to eat them if you're unsure. Their advantages are clear, but so are the drawbacks. The choice is yours."
Without hesitation, the two imdiately dropped to one knee in front of him and spoke in unison.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Seeing their sincere reaction, Ryuunosuke handed each of them a Devil Fruit.
Without wasting a second, both n took a bite.
"Captain! Mine is the Bomb-Bomb Fruit!" Gunado exclaid, holding out his hand as a small black orb materialized in his palm.
He tossed it a short distance.
Boom!
The explosion that followed was loud and powerful, even though Gunado had just awakened the ability.
"Strong... and that's just the first use." Ryuunosuke nodded approvingly. "It's got room to grow."
"Gunado, you'll need to increase your training in Armant Haki and basic physical combat. Chrollo," he said, turning to the man in question, "teach him every type of explosive you know—how they work, how they're used, everything."
While Ryuunosuke himself knew a good deal about bombs—even nuclear ones—it was difficult to explain all the technical details.
Chrollo, as the Phantom Troupe's leader, had a deep understanding of weaponry. He was the better fit for the job.
"Captain, mine's a Paracia-type too... the Slice-Slice Fruit!" Urzi announced.
He pressed his palm against the ground.
Swish...
A sharp cut suddenly appeared across the floor without any noticeable build-up or energy wave.
Ryuunosuke's eyes lit up.
"Nice... Aka, get over here."
Aka stepped forward silently.
"Urzi, try channeling your ability through a blade. Aka will train you in swordsmanship and teach you the assassination technique of the 'One-Strike Kill.'"
Ryuunosuke's voice was calm but confident.
Combining the Slice-Slice ability with Aka's lethal assassination techniques was a terrifying combination.
For an assassin, the biggest issue wasn't getting close—it was making the kill. But with this fruit, one good slash up close could be ga over.
The two of them had clearly drawn lucky straws and obtained so powerful fruits.
With their training sorted, Ryuunosuke moved toward another room in the ship.
Inside, Machi was still undergoing treatnt.
Ryuunosuke glanced at her, saw the dics working with full focus, and silently backed out without disturbing them.
Outside, Ace approached him.
"Hey, big bro," Ace said, scratching his head. "What the hell happened in that fight earlier?"
Ryuunosuke sat on a nearby chair and looked at him with calm eyes.
"You tell . What happened to you?"
Ace took a deep breath and explained everything about his battle with Blackbeard.
"...He's developed his Dark-Dark Fruit way faster than expected," Ryuunosuke said thoughtfully. "And I doubt he showed his full hand."
He looked at Ace with a serious expression.
"So what do you think about that fight? What did you learn?"
Failure wasn't the problem. The problem was refusing to learn from it.
"I underestimated him," Ace admitted, clenching his fists. "His physical strength... that weird fruit ability... If you hadn't shown up, I'd be dead right now."
He gritted his teeth. The loss still stung.
Truth be told, Blackbeard had the upper hand. Whether in raw combat or through the ability's natural counter to his own, Ace was outmatched.
But part of the bla was on himself—he let his guard down. If he'd gone all out from the beginning, maybe the outco would've been different. At the very least, he could've escaped.
"Good," Ryuunosuke nodded. "Then it's ti to level up."
"You're joining the physical training camp. No excuses."
"Also, you need to push your Devil Fruit further. Your Fla-Fla Fruit should be burning the sky itself."
Ace raised an eyebrow. "Burn the sky? What do you an?"
He grinned awkwardly. "That sounds badass... but what does it actually an?"
Ryuunosuke smirked.
"The most dangerous part of your fruit isn't just the fire—it's the temperature. If you increase the heat of your flas, everything else—impact, explosions—will follow naturally."
"You need to push it to the limit. Think awakening."
Ryuunosuke leaned in.
"If you master it, your flas will be able to scorch the heavens... and incinerate the Underworld."
Ace's eyes widened. "Damn... That sounds insane!"
He was fired up now. "Alright, big bro! I'll figure it out!"
Ryuunosuke smiled. "I'll give you the theory, but the rest is on you."
Ace nodded, eyes burning with determination, and left to begin developing his fruit ability right away.
With the help of the Essence of Life, his body had already grown stronger—and so had his comprehension.
And now, it was ti to turn potential into power.
