One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 2 Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me
Loy Amos, Navy Headquarters Lieutenant, Commander of the detention force warship 'DT-31'.

He is said to have come from the West Sea and joined the navy at the age of twenty, and has been there for eight years.

His performance in the physical test for enlisting in the Navy branch was mediocre, but his strength began to improve rapidly after participating in the capture of the West Blue Devil Fruit user pirate 'Captain Torra' - which is not surprising, as many Navy admirals begin to show their prowess after encountering a powerful enemy.

He was subsequently recruited into the Navy Headquarters, and after passing the new recruit assessment at the headquarters, he voluntarily applied to join the detention unit.

—The above is what the naval members of the detention unit know about Roy Amos.

But in fact, what nobody knows is...
Loy Amos's true identity is that of a visitor from another world.

However, the naval personnel were right about one thing.

That is, Roy does indeed have his own sense of justice.

"Iced cola is justice!"

Roy, who was happily sipping a slice of pizza and a sip of ice-cold soda, exclaimed.

At that moment, he was simply looking at the hourglass on the table in front of him.

Just then, the hourglass finished dripping.

And in his ear
[The Paramecia-type Strong-Strong Fruit has been added to the Fruit Encyclopedia; current level LV1]

As such a sound came, the illusory light screen in front of him also changed.

It gradually transformed into a fictional book.

At this moment, on each page of the book, there are Devil Fruits of different shapes.

[Paramecia Type - Cage-Cage Fruit - LV1]

[Zoan Type - Ox-Ox Fruit - Rhinoceros Form - LV1]

[Zoan Type - Dog-Dog Fruit - Dalmatian Form - LV1]

[Logia Type - Glint-Glint Fruit - LV1]

[Nature Type - Magma Fruit - LV1]

[Logia Type - Ice-Ice Fruit - LV1]

On the latest page of the book, the [Paranoia Type - Strong Fruit - LV1] has just been completed.

Then, the pages were closed.

On the closed cover, four words were written: "[Fruit Encyclopedia]".

[Holder: Roy Amos]

[Currently listed Devil Fruit types: 19 (Paramecia-7, Zoan-7, Logia-4, Special Paramecia-0, Mythical Zoan-1)]

Number of fruit slots: 2

[Currently equipped: Ox-Ox Fruit - Rhinoceros Form LV1, Human-Human Fruit - Buddha Form LV1]

Current Pele holdings: 4113 million

"The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia has finally collected nineteen Devil Fruits. We only need one more Devil Fruit to unlock the third Devil Fruit slot. And this guy's 'Strong Fruit' is quite a useful ability!"

"This trip was worthwhile."

The words Roy was muttering to himself at that moment were undoubtedly only understood by him.

That's right.

As a transmigrator, Luo Yi also has his own system.

That was the 'Fruit Encyclopedia' he was seeing at that moment.

As the name suggests, this system is related to 'Devil Fruits,' a unique product of the One Piece world.

The fruit encyclopedia itself contains two parts of functionality.

The first function is collection and use.

As long as he gets close to a Devil Fruit user and spends time with them, he can add that user's Devil Fruit to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

The speed at which the Devil Fruit is absorbed increases when the user uses their ability in front of him.

After gaining the ability, he can use the corresponding Devil Fruit ability through the fruit slot in the encyclopedia.

There is only one fruit slot at the beginning, and an additional slot can be opened for every ten Devil Fruits collected.

Of course, what if Roy directly obtained a real Devil Fruit?

Therefore, he can directly obtain the Level 3 ability of the corresponding Devil Fruit by absorbing it.

The second function of the encyclopedia is to enhance the abilities of fruits.

After the fruit is included in the Fruit Encyclopedia, its basic ability level is LV1.

Subsequently, Roy can enhance and upgrade his Devil Fruit ability level by consuming a sufficient amount of Berries or an equivalent amount of treasure.

In addition, Roy can also consume a smaller amount of treasure to temporarily unlock a certain level of Devil Fruit ability—the amount of treasure required is about one-third of the normal unlock amount, but it can only be exchanged for a one-hour duration.

Furthermore, it seems that Roy did not actually eat the Devil Fruit.

Therefore, the Devil Fruit power he acquired is not restricted by seawater or Seastone.

As for his own cheat code, Roy's evaluation was quite simple.

"abnormal!"

That's right.

He knew very well that the effect of the Fruit Encyclopedia could be described as terrifying.

It allows him to use multiple Devil Fruit abilities and he is not afraid of seawater or seastone.

This is already a broad road leading directly to the top of the world.

Don't be fooled by Guy's talk of 'overpowering everything'; isn't he himself a user of the legendary Devil Fruit, the Fish-Fish Fruit: Azure Dragon Form?

Then comes the problem.

Where on this vast ocean is it most likely that one can safely obtain a sufficient quantity of Devil Fruits?

For Roy, the answer was simple—the Navy.

As a behemoth backed by the World Government, it has kept the Great Pirate Era from going completely out of control.

The number of ability users within the Navy, and the number of ability users one can come into contact with, must be the largest.

So Roy chose to join the Navy and specifically chose the unpopular 'detention force'.

And as it turns out, his choice was correct.

Over the past eight years, through contact with Devil Fruit users within the Navy and by occasionally escorting Devil Fruit criminals, he has acquired a total of nineteen Devil Fruit abilities.

This includes even the Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities of the current three admirals, and even top-tier Devil Fruit abilities like Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Mythical Zoan type 'Human-Human Fruit - Buddha Form'.

It can be said that in terms of accumulating fruit abilities.

Roy has already accumulated a considerable fortune.

So now, he only has one problem left.

That is.
"I need to find a way to make money."

That's what the naval captain thought.

Yes.

As mentioned before, his Devil Fruit ability needs to be enhanced with Beli.

The specific price varies greatly depending on the type of fruit, but there is one consistent characteristic—the stronger the fruit, the more expensive it is.

根据目前洛伊的总结来看，普通的超人系和动物系果实强化到LV2所需要的贝利就在5000W左右，强化到LV3则需要2~3亿贝利，LV4需要10亿，LV5的果实觉醒更是普遍需要超过数十亿贝利以上。

The Logia type is even more outrageous. Upgrading a regular Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit to LV2 requires 3 million Berries, LV3 requires 15 billion Berries, LV4 requires 50 billion Berries, and awakening the fruit is an astronomical figure of over 100 billion Berries.

As for the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Ice-Ice Fruit, top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruits, the price for enhancement is even higher. Incidentally, Roy's monthly salary as a Marine Lieutenant is approximately 30 Berries.

During his eight years in the Navy, even including the allowances and rewards for escorting prisoners, he only saved a little over 4000 million Berries.

"Even a model citizen like me, who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and whose only hobby is drinking cola, is finding it so hard to save money!"

Roy burped and sighed.

He was really troubled by this.

"No Money!"

Who would have thought that the same thing both troubled him before and after his time travel?

"If all else fails, I'll have to leave the Navy after I collect 20 Devil Fruits—become a bounty hunter or something. Although it requires traveling around, at least I can earn money much faster than in the Navy."

"Although all my Devil Fruit abilities are currently at LV1, if I can unlock the third Devil Fruit slot, it will definitely be enough for at least the first half of the Grand Line."

Roy was making plans in his mind.

But it is precisely at this moment
"boom!"

The cabin suddenly began to shake violently, and cries of alarm came from outside.

Roy quickly shielded his iced cola, shouting angrily, "What's going on? Who's at the helm?! That's right—Hans! Are you trying to quit?!"

While shouting, he quickly finished the cola in his cup, then opened the door and walked out of the cabin.

Then he saw a chaotic deck and marines firing their guns.

They were aiming towards the sea.

At this moment, under the moonlight shining in the dark night sky.

On the shimmering sea, a colossal creature is poking its head out from beneath the water.

It has the head of a lion, the body of a fish, and a body length of tens of meters.

Those enormous eyes shone like burning starlight in the night.

"Captain Roy, it's a sea monster—a large sea monster is attacking us!"

Sergeant 'Fal' approached Roy and reported anxiously.

“Haye?”

Roy then raised an eyebrow.

As a naval force that has long been active in the world, the naval warships of the detention force naturally used seastone technology on their bottoms.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, sea monsters and sea kings would not detect the presence of warships.

But occasionally there are exceptions—for example, a near-shore marine mammal or a small sea monster in shallow water might get too close to the surface and discover this 'iron lump'.

"Yes! Our luck seems to be running out."

Far felt like crying but had no tears left.

But
"What do you mean bad luck? Isn't this great luck?"

Roy interrupted him: "I remember sea monster meat is very valuable!"

"What?!"

Far was a little taken aback.

But Roy didn't answer him: "Everyone, stop firing—if you damage the best meat, you're all dead!"

"?"*N
As a result, all the sailors on the warship were stunned.

But as soldiers, they instinctively stopped firing.

"Sir, you..."

Someone spoke up as if to ask something.

But before they could speak, they saw Roy move.

"boom!"

He bent his knees and leaped, then jumped with a bang!
The immense force even caused the entire warship to tilt noticeably in that instant.

Under the watchful eyes of all the navy personnel, Roy's figure flew swiftly toward the enormous sea monster.

"Captain Roy!" *N
The sailors gasped in surprise.

But the next moment, the exclamation turned into a horrified scream.

Because at that moment, the sea monster had clearly also noticed Roy.

"Roar!"

The enormous head let out a low growl, then rammed into Roy with tremendous force.

"It's over!"

"If we take this hit head-on, even an officer..."

"Prepare for rescue immediately! Prepare for rescue, sir!"

The marines were almost all in a panic.

But just a moment later, the sight they saw made their eyeballs almost bulge out of their sockets, and their jaws swell to the point of almost dislocating.

Because all we see at this moment is under the moonlight.

A naval captain flew by, his overcoat, emblazoned with the word 'Justice,' fluttering in the wind.

He bent his elbow, then clenched his fist!

Under the moonlight, all the marines could see his thick, steel-like arms!

The muscles beneath his arms were bulging and knotted, like steel.

[Currently equipped Devil Fruit - 1: Ox-Ox Fruit - Giant Rhinoceros Form LV1 - Weak Devil Fruit ability, grants the user the body of a giant rhinoceros, with physical strength and muscle density far exceeding that of a normal human]

[Currently equipped with Devil Fruit - 2: Strength Fruit LV1 - Weak Devil Fruit ability, which can increase muscle strength by 5 times]

Many people know that Zoan-type Devil Fruits almost always grant their users powerful, beast-like bodies.

Gladiator Antonia also knew that his Strength-Strength Fruit could greatly enhance the muscles of Devil Fruit users.

But what if someone possessed both the basic physical attributes provided by a Zoan-type Devil Fruit and the muscle boost provided by a Strength Fruit?

The answer to this question is right now.

"boom!"

Roy threw a punch!
The immense force generated a gale that even carved a huge 'groove' into the sea in front of him.

The next moment, the fist collided with the sea monster's head.

And so, all the marines saw it.

That enormous sea beast, over a hundred meters long, was actually blasted away by Roy's punch!
"Ow!"

It let out a mournful cry, fell onto the sea, and immediately lost consciousness.

Roy's figure landed on the sea monster's head amidst the marines' exclamations of "Eh eh eh eh eh eh".

That's right.

This is why Roy isn't in a hurry, even though all of his Devil Fruits are still at LV1.

because
"The combination of Devil Fruits is not as simple as one plus one—as long as you have a sufficient understanding of enough Devil Fruits, even a Level 1 Devil Fruit can unleash unimaginable power!"

Roy murmured to himself.

"And in this world, no one understands Devil Fruits better than me!"
