He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

About a minute later, Gengar spat out a pile of fruit and Wapol's corpse.

Among them was a strangely shaped Devil Fruit, which was blue-purple with interlocking teeth-like patterns in the middle.

It is the Swallow Fruit!

Gu Xin planned to put it away and find someone else to take it later.

He currently only has Van Augur as a crew member, and he doesn't plan to eat a Devil Fruit for the time being, so he can only keep it for now.

To Guxin's surprise, Snorlax sent a very strong sense of desire through his mind... It wanted to eat the Gluttony Fruit!

Can Pokémon eat Devil Fruits?

If it's feasible, the potential of Pokémon is much higher than we imagine!

Thinking of this, Guxin immediately released Snorlax, which immediately stared intently at the Gluttony Fruit, its mouth drooling.

"Want some? Then eat it." Guxin handed the Gluttony Fruit to Snorlax.

Upon hearing this, Van Auger clicked his tongue in surprise.

The captain's spirit can actually consume Devil Fruits?!

"Snorlax—" Snorlax growled, then swallowed it whole without even chewing, like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit.

Immediately afterwards, Guxin noticed that the entry for Snorlax had changed; the original plain black text had now turned into a dazzling gold.

【Extreme Gourmet Cell: Snorlax can greatly improve its physique by consuming gourmet food... If it consumes a Devil Fruit during fusion, the main body will gain the attribute transformed from the Devil Fruit. If it matches the Pokémon's type, there will be an additional bonus. Current consumption quantity: 0/2】

Snorlax's description... evolved?

Guxin believes that this can no longer be described as an "upgrade," but rather as an "evolution."

After eating the Gluttony Fruit, Snorlax's "Gourmet Cells" stat changed to "Extreme Gourmet Cells," and its effects underwent a dramatic transformation.

He only needs to fuse with Snorlax and then eat a Devil Fruit to gain the Devil Fruit power in its morphological form.

Based on the current number, he can possess the abilities of multiple Devil Fruits simultaneously!

This is... such an unreasonable entry!

In an instant, Gu Xin felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps rose on his skin, and an astonishing thought flashed through his mind.

Gengar can steal Devil Fruits, and Snorlax can help him eat multiple Devil Fruits... Combining these elements creates an exaggerated effect.

After calming down, Guxin also figured out the hidden mechanics of Pokémon.

When a Pokémon's power level advances to a new stage, the stat description will be upgraded accordingly, but there will still be no fundamental change.

When a Pokémon eats a specific Devil Fruit, its attribute will undergo "evolution," resulting in unimaginable effects.

The reason it is a specific Devil Fruit is because Snorlax did not react at all when it saw the Clear-Clear Fruit, but it had a strong desire when it saw the Gluttony Fruit.

Gardevoir and Gengar showed no interest in either the Clear-Clear Fruit or the Gluttony Fruit.

It is clear that Pokémon need Devil Fruits that match their characteristics.

Considering the word "extreme," the entry may only be able to evolve once.

Gu Xin felt a little regretful.

Since Gushin doesn't have any other Devil Fruits on hand, he can't even begin to experiment with the effects of new descriptors.

But then he suddenly remembered that this was Walpo's castle.

Although Walpo was a bit ugly, he was a legitimate king of one of the constituent republics, and his treasury must be full of gold and silver.

Maybe there's a Devil Fruit inside!

"Gengar, dive in and control him!"

"Genki!" Gengar burrowed into the corpse, and a few seconds later, Wapol stood up again.

Gengar even mimicked his expressions perfectly, and could even use Wapol's Gluttony Fruit ability.

This was also his initial plan.

Even after Wahlbod's death, his body still had value.

First, let Gengar disguise itself, and when they are about to leave Drum Island, find some excuse to make Wapol disappear.

Wapol's body can still be taken away, becoming the second corpse in Gengar's collection.

The first corpse was Absalom, who possessed the power of the Clear-Clear Fruit.

Gengar, having inherited all of Wapol's memories, was naturally familiar with the Treasury and immediately led the way there.

Upon arriving in the basement, Gengar used Wapol's unique giant key to open the iron door.

What came into view was a dazzling array of gold treasures and mountains of pesos.

Gushin roughly estimates that this is worth two to three billion Berries.

At the same time, perhaps due to Wapol's special abilities and personal quirks, the place also contains rare minerals from all over the world, which are equally valuable.

Among this mountain of gold and silver, Guxin found two small treasure chests, and with a gentle twist, he unscrewed the locks on top and opened them.

The distinctive spiral patterns of these marine treasures already identify them.

Two Devil Fruits!

After consulting the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, Gushin confirmed the identities of the two fruits.

The reddish-brown Devil Fruit on the left is the Paramecia-type Muscle-Muscle Fruit. After consuming it, one can develop their own muscles and unleash several times or even dozens of times the strength and speed.

The deep blue Devil Fruit on the right is even more precious; it's a Zoan-type Ancient Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit in Plesiosaur form!

Unlike ordinary Zoan-type, Ancient Zoan are synonymous with power and preciousness, and few of their users are weak.

For example, the Three Disasters, Kaido's top lieutenants, and the Flying Six are basically all Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users.

Generally speaking, the strength of an ancient fruit is already reflected in its name, and the Plesiosaur is a powerful ancient dinosaur with a name and a surname, which shows how precious this fruit is.

If this were to get out, it could probably fetch over a billion Berries, and even Kaido of the Beasts would send his men to snatch it.

On the other hand...

Plesiosaurs are powerful sea creatures, but after eating a Devil Fruit, they become vulnerable to the ocean's power, which would likely significantly reduce their effectiveness.

But its flaws do not detract from its overall beauty; it is still a lovely, white, and tender fruit.

After a moment's hesitation, Guxin first put away the Plesiosaur Fruit and then looked at the rather unremarkable Muscle Fruit.

Perhaps he could try out the new tag for Snorlax with this Devil Fruit first?

Judging from the description, this Muscle Fruit is even somewhat close to the Fighting type, which might bring additional benefits.

Thinking of this, Guxin fused with Snorlax and resolutely bit into the Muscle-Muscle Fruit. In an instant, a strange and disgusting taste filled his mouth.

Gu Xin could only try his best not to think about that taste.

It was really... awful.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to eat it all; one bite was enough.

Looking at the muscle-muscle fruit lying to the side, Van Augur's gaze was resentful. His first reaction wasn't to ask why he ate the fruit, but rather:

"Didn't you say... we should eat all the Devil Fruits?"

Gushin patted Van Auger on the shoulder earnestly: "Auka, all you need to know is that I'm different from everyone else."

Van Augur: "..."

Guxin focused his attention on the descriptions of the new entries.

[Muscle Power: The user can develop their own muscles to unleash greater strength and can autonomously use Fighting-type moves, with the power of these moves increased by 20%]
