The three continued along the street, where the buildings on both sides had changed from dilapidated taverns to rather luxurious hotels and shops.

Tesoro followed behind Roy, looking excited; clearly, what had just happened had thrilled him.

"Boss, that move you just made was so cool! That guy couldn't even touch you!"

Stella asked curiously, "Roy, what kind of ability do you use? Is it a Devil Fruit?"

"Yes." Roy flicked his finger, and the box Tesoro was carrying slowly floated into his hand.

"This is one of the Devil Fruits we stole from the Celestial Dragons."

Upon seeing Roy use his abilities again, both of them revealed a look of longing in their eyes.

Tesoro stepped forward with a grin, "Boss, isn't there still one Devil Fruit left?"

Roy, understanding what he meant, explained seriously: "Tesoro's Devil Fruits are divided into three types: Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia. Their abilities are also different. After eating a Logia-type Devil Fruit, one can transform their body into an element, thus becoming immune to physical damage, and can also launch wide-range attacks."

"Wow! Boss Roy, who ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit, would be invincible!"

Before Roy could finish speaking, Tesoro excitedly interrupted him.

"Do you still want to listen?"

Tesoro quickly shut his mouth and made a funny zipping motion, which made Stella cover her mouth and giggle.

Roy gave Tesoro a disapproving look and continued, "The remaining Zoan types involve transforming into various animals to enhance the user's physical body. Paramecia types grant various superpowers."

"Your boss is the user of the Superman-Mnemonic Fruit!"

Roy was quite proud to have obtained this Devil Fruit that suited him.

As they spoke, they quickly entered a rather luxurious-looking hotel, booked a large suite, and followed the waiter to their room.

"Tesoro, Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse, ranging from strong to weak. A powerful ability can instantly create a powerful individual, while a weak one can't even defeat an average pirate."

"Furthermore, after eating a Devil Fruit, the user will be rejected by the sea. If they come into contact with seawater or seastone, they will instantly lose their powers and become physically weak."

Upon arriving at the room, wait for the waiter to close the door and leave.

Tesoro hurriedly opened the box and took out the remaining Devil Fruit.

"Boss, what department is this?"

Tesoro's Devil Fruit is pure white, shaped like a cantaloupe, and covered with feather-like patterns.

"It looks like a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but judging from the feather-like patterns on its surface, it should be a bird-type Devil Fruit."

"So, do you want to eat it?"

Upon hearing Roy say it was a Zoan-type, Tesoro immediately curled his lip and disdainfully handed the Devil Fruit to Roy.

"Haha, although it's just a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Bird-Bird Fruit allows me to fly, so I won't have to worry about falling into the ocean."

Seeing that Tesoro wasn't interested, Roy planned to put it in the treasure chest.

Stella, who had been listening quietly, interrupted Roy's actions.

"Roy, can I have this Devil Fruit? I want to try it. If it allows me to fly, I want to eat it so I won't be a burden to everyone in future battles."

Upon hearing this, Roy was taken aback, then smiled and handed the Devil Fruit to Stella.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I managed to save you from the Celestial Dragons with great difficulty. As my chief navigator, how could I possibly look down on you?"

Roy placed the fruit in Stella's hand and teased her again, "Besides, you're Tesoro's white moonlight. He'll protect you with all his might if you're in danger."

Tesoro, who was lying in bed, blushed immediately when he heard Roy's teasing, but he still got up from the bed and patted his chest to show that there was no problem.

Stella looked at the funny Tesoro, then at Roy with a big smile on his face, and finally a genuine smile appeared on her beautiful and gentle face.

After all, the feeling of relief at being able to escape the fate of being a slave and join Roy's ranks alongside Tesoro was truly wonderful.

"Would you like to try it now, Stella?" Roy said.

"Yes! Yes! Try it!" Tesoro quickly chimed in.

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Stella gently picked up the Devil Fruit, put it to her mouth, and then, without hesitation, took a bite.

"Ugh~"

"Hahaha~~" Roy, who had tried the taste of Devil Fruits, immediately burst into laughter. Of course, he knew how awful Devil Fruits tasted; the feeling of being repulsed even by one's soul was indescribably unpleasant.

Seeing Stella, who was so disgusted by the taste of the Devil Fruit that she questioned her existence, Roy quickly put away his smile and said seriously, "Although you can gain a power by eating a single bite of a Devil Fruit, I've heard that eating the whole fruit is more beneficial for awakening the Devil Fruit."

Upon hearing Roy's explanation, Stella closed her eyes and resignedly stuffed the Devil Fruit into her mouth.

"Stella?"

Seeing Stella's pained expression, Tesoro was about to step forward to check on her.

Before he could get close, white feathers sprouted from Stella's face, her hands slowly turned into wings, and her legs turned into bird claws.

"So it really is a bird!" Roy asked Tesoro as he watched Stella transform into a two-meter-tall white bird.

"Go out and try it out, Stella! Go out and experience your abilities!"

Upon hearing this, the large bird flapped its wings and flew out of the window, soaring into the sky.

Tesoro, meanwhile, was leaning against the window, watching Stella soar freely in the sky with envy on his face.

Roy stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be envious. I'll find you a powerful Devil Fruit in the future."

"Thank you, boss!!"

Stella, who had flown in a circle as she spoke, suddenly swooped down and entered the room, slowly transforming into human form.

"How is it, Stella?"

"That's great, Roy. I ate a Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit in the form of a white dove. Not only can I fly, but I can also sense the surrounding magnetic field and changes in the weather. This way, we'll never have to worry about getting lost at sea again."

"Oh! This is truly something to be happy about." Roy was also pleasantly surprised by the Devil Fruit's ability, after all, a skilled navigator is very important at sea.

"Then let's have a banquet. Let's celebrate Stella getting the power she wanted."

Then, he asked Tezzolo to go to the kitchen and bring up a whole bunch of drinks and food.

While the three were celebrating.

The few escaped henchmen of the Giant Axe Pirates hurriedly returned to the port.
