One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

After absorbing the giant man-eating plant, Pea clapped his hands, appearing relaxed and at ease, his emerald green eyes looking at Roy with pure joy.

"See? I can separate him or bring him back; they are part of me."

Roy understood as he watched this scene. It seemed to be more than just simple manipulation of plants; it was more like creation and fusion. The abilities of Devil Fruits in Mythical Beasts were indeed extraordinary.

She reached out and ruffled Pea's short, bright green hair, laughing as she watched him smugly show off.

"It seems you've grown a lot this year!"

"Yeah, Roy, I've been waiting for you for a very, very long time. If Roy didn't come back soon, I was even planning to go out and look for you."

"Don't worry! We came here to pick you up and leave together."

"Really?"

Roy saw the aggrieved expression on Pea's face, which was almost identical to his own, and felt a rather complicated feeling.

"It's true. Sailing at sea takes time, and we encountered some problems. That's why we've come to pick you up!"

"So, are they the partners you've been looking for?"

"That's right."

Roy turned to Pea and introduced them, "This guy with the same hair color as you is Tesoro, and there's Stella, Savi, and Barrett. They're all trustworthy companions."

Tezzolo's eyes still held surprise, but he still greeted Pea when Roy introduced himself, as did Savi and Stella.

Barrett simply crossed his arms and gave a cool nod, which was his way of saying hello.

"Hello everyone! My name is Pea, um... I'm also called Roy now, but you can call me Pea."

Clearly, Roy is unique in his world, and the boy taught him a lot during the three years they spent together.

"Pea, can you control this form freely now? Can you change back to your original form?"

"OK!"

As the pea spoke, a green light emanated from its body, the transparent wings behind it disappeared, and its limbs began to change. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a three-meter-tall pea shooter with emerald green leaves and a flower bud on its head!

"Pfft~" Savi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Stella gently patted him on the shoulder.

The peas that appeared now were clearly different from the ones before. They had grown a pair of big eyes on both sides of their "cheeks" and a flower bud on their heads that emitted a faint green light.

Seeing this, Roy's last bit of doubt dissipated. Although the pea plant was now much larger and its appearance had changed significantly, he could still sense that it was the pea plant that had been with him for three years.

"Hmm! Very good, you may return now."

The green light shone again, and the pea transformed back into its youthful form.

The group returned to the ramen waterfall and began to feast on the surrounding delicacies. After all, while Stella's cooking was delicious, it still paled in comparison to the food on the island.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Roy began to give them instructions.

"We'll rest on this island for a few months. I have a small experiment to try out, and also..."

Roy then looked at Barrett and said, "Barrett Island is a good training ground. You can continue to train with Savi and the others. Sea Kings will come up to the island from time to time, and you can practice with them."

"Pea, you know this place best and are in charge of keeping watch. Also, collect as many plants as possible on the island as possible, whether they can be used for attack or can produce food. Collect as many of each as possible. With your abilities, these things are very important to us."

"Understood, boss/Roy."

Pea puffed out her chest, looking confident: "No problem! Besides, I know there are big guys there to fight!"

So, under Pea's guidance, Roy's team began a short period of training on the island.

Roy then took out the Paramecia-type Bag-Bag Fruit. He remembered that in the original work, there were items that allowed people to eat Devil Fruits, and it was said that each Devil Fruit had its own consciousness. However, Roy had already used his mental power to investigate it a long time ago and found nothing special about it.

"Is this characteristic only found in Zoan-type Devil Fruits? But I didn't notice anything when I got the Great Ape Fruit!"

Roy stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Is it because the fruit is a complete version of myself that I can't sense it?"

"If I break the fruit open and place it with the item, then seal it with my mental power, would I be able to detect the 'demon' inside? After all, my mental power is also a kind of soul state. If I can trap the 'demon' inside, then it can only attach itself to the item I put it in."

"It's just an ordinary Paramecia-type, so it's not a big deal to lose it."

Without further ado, Roy picked up the small bag that Stella had sewn.

"But it's always better to be on the safe side."

Thinking it over, he used his mental power to retrieve a large ball of seawater from the sea.

First, place the small bag and the fruit together, wrap them with a layer of mental energy, then manipulate the water sphere to envelop them, and finally wrap the water sphere with another layer of mental energy.

"Hmm, should three layers of sealing off be enough?"

Roy slowly manipulated the small bag, inserting it into the Devil Fruit.

"Weng~"

A very subtle fluctuation emanated from the fruit as it broke. It wasn't like the spirit of a living being, bearing its own unique mark; rather, it was more like a program, acting according to instructions.

"Pop"

Roy's innermost layer of mental energy was pushed into a cone shape, but it was broken through in a few seconds. However, it was still blocked by the seawater for a moment. Roy no longer held back his mental abilities and surrounded it layer by layer.

As Roy gradually compressed this energy into the bag, he slowly watched as the Devil Fruit dried up and rotted.

Only when he could no longer sense anything unusual did he gradually withdraw his mental energy and reach out to catch the falling bag.

Roy carefully examined the bag and found nothing unusual. Then he reached into the bag, opened it, and slipped his hand inside. Once he had half his arm inside, he discovered a huge space within.

Since the bag was only the size of a palm, Roy pulled his hand out and used both hands to open the bag's opening, probing inside with his mental energy. He discovered that there was a space inside that was the size of three football fields.

Hahaha~~

"I really am a genius!"

Meanwhile, Borsalino and Vice Admiral Val, who had already returned to headquarters, were heading to Admiral Sengoku's office.

Inside the office, Sengoku, after listening to the report, also looked troubled. He hadn't expected Roy to grow so fast, that even Borsalino couldn't do anything to him.

"Also, during this capture, another brat joined Roy's group, and he's a 'monster' level guy too."

"Later investigations revealed that this kid was Douglas Barrett, a hero of Jarzburg, known as the 'Devil's Heir,' but he was betrayed by his superior and that's how he joined."

Upon hearing Lieutenant General Walu's report, Sengoku, who was sitting in his seat, felt even more troubled.

"Even you can't defeat it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sengoku, I really couldn't defeat him in a short time." A hint of shame appeared on Val's face. After all, as a lieutenant general of the headquarters, he had actually fought a teenager to a standstill and even let him leave unharmed.

After pondering for a moment, Zhan Guo still couldn't come up with a good solution.

"In that case, we'll arrange to increase their bounty first, have the intelligence department raise the danger level of Roy's gang, keep a close eye on their whereabouts, and make sure to wipe them out the next time we find them."
