One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

"I'm really curious how the Navy invented this thing," Beckman said calmly, though he was quite curious about the enhancement stone.

The idea that strengthening weapons can amplify Armament Haki is already quite unbelievable, but now it can also strengthen artificial Devil Fruits, which is a completely different story.

That means many things can be enhanced with enhancement stones!

It's not just about weapons.

Another location in the auction house.

Vista, the foil fencer, asked Marco, "Marco, should we take a picture of this?"

"No!"

Marco immediately refused, saying, "This thing can only grant Zoan-type abilities, and whether it will even succeed is another matter."

"You've seen the Beasts Pirates before. They all look like monsters; they can't even be considered human anymore."

"They are a bunch of brave, fierce, and ruthless beasts."

Moreover, this claim about artificially enhanced Devil Fruits might just be Doflamingo's side of the story.

just in case...

This artificial Devil Fruit hasn't been enhanced at all. Wouldn't we be fooled? There are plenty of shady things going on in the underworld. Doflamingo himself has stated that this "artificial Devil Fruit" might not even have any power.

Fencing fencer Vista nodded, said nothing more, and quietly watched the stage.

The auction hall was filled with chatter and discussion, but no one made a bid for the time being; many people chose to wait and see.

Doflamingo's smile vanished, replaced by a slight frown.

Is this artificial Devil Fruit, enhanced to +12, going to go unsold?

"2 billion Pele!"

Suddenly, the sound of bidding rang out, and thousands of eyes in the hall turned to the bidder.

The one who made the bid was none other than King Gaji of the Kingdom of Galma.

Despite the many gazes directed at him, Judge remained unfazed, thinking to himself, "Since no one is bidding on this, I won't hold back. If I can figure something out, it will be a worthwhile endeavor."

Although his goal is the "enhancement stone" to research and enhance the shape memory armor.

However, if artificial Devil Fruits could also be researched and developed, they could be manufactured and sold, generating substantial profits.

"110 million Berries!!"

Someone made a bid. After the initial hesitation, seeing that even King Germa 66 had made a bid, many others started raising the price with a "let's take a chance" mentality.

360 million Berries!

360 million Berries!

"..."

The price of the enhanced level 12 artificial Devil Fruit quickly skyrocketed, and no one knows if there were any shills involved.

It wasn't until the price continued to rise to 320 million peggs.

No one bid anymore.

"320 million Pelés for the first time."

"・・・"

"320 million Berries, third time, transaction successful." Doflamingo announced the successful transaction with a slight smile.

The successful bidder was a guild president, and after the Don Quixote family received the money, they handed over the enhanced level 12 artificial Devil Fruit to the president.

"Hahaha... Let me see what abilities this artificial Devil Fruit can give me!!" The man appeared extremely excited and thrilled.

A crisp snapping sound.

He ate the artificial Devil Fruit in one bite, and it didn't taste as bad as a real Devil Fruit.

The man took several large bites and gnawed the fruit clean.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on him, everyone wanting to know what kind of power this enhanced 12 artificial Devil Fruit could bring.

Even Hawkeye, Beckman, Katakuri, Marco, and others focused their attention on this man.

next moment.

The man's body began to change, turning dark green all over. A tearing sound came, and the man's upper garment was torn to shreds, leaving his lower garment intact.

His body was expanding rapidly.

The people in the surrounding seats were so frightened that they scrambled away from the man.

The man's hands transformed into a pair of enormous wings, and in the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a gigantic, dark green lizard dragon, several meters long!

"Hey...you're kidding, right?! How could an artificial Devil Fruit turn into such a powerful monster? Even an Ancient Zoan-type wouldn't be able to compare!?"

"This is an artificial Devil Fruit?! How can it be even more powerful than a real Devil Fruit?!"

"If I had known this Devil Fruit was this powerful, I would have bought it..."

"Is that a dragon?!"

"..."

The entire auction was thrown into chaos. If the auction hall hadn't been so spacious, the roof would probably have been smashed to pieces by the enormous, dark green dragon.

A thick, green liquid flowed from between the sharp, serrated teeth, dripping from the air and falling to the ground.

Sizzle!

When the dark green liquid fell to the ground, it made a corrosive sound, and a large pit was corroded into the ground in a short time.

Upon witnessing this scene.

Beckman's pupils dilated in shock as he exclaimed incredulously, "An artificial Devil Fruit couldn't be this powerful... It's an enhancement stone!"

He had some understanding of Kaido's army of Devil Fruit users, but they were completely different from the Devil Fruit users in front of him.

Strengthening Stone!

An artificial Devil Fruit that has been enhanced 12 times.

Even Beckman's strong will was stirred at this moment, "The Enhancement Stone can actually give artificial Devil Fruits such terrifying abilities..."

"If the Beasts Pirates had a powerful army of Devil Fruit users like this..."

terrible!

In that case, the Beasts Pirates would definitely become the most powerful pirate crew among the Four Emperors.

Yasopp, standing nearby, was also horrified and exclaimed in shock, "This dragon is not only enormous, but it also possesses highly corrosive saliva. It's quite formidable."

"It might even surpass the power of a typical Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. That's terrifying."

Such a behemoth would undoubtedly possess terrifying physical strength, and its highly corrosive saliva could also serve as a powerful means of attack.

It completely surpasses the abilities of ordinary Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits.

but...

He cannot yet discern the flaws in the enhanced 12 artificial Devil Fruits before him.

Upon witnessing the powerful and miraculous abilities resulting from the enhancement of the 12 artificial Devil Fruits, Marco was quite shocked. "This ability... must be worth at least hundreds of millions of Berries."

"It's a pity... I didn't get a picture of this fruit."

A pang of regret gripped him. If he had been able to acquire that Devil Fruit, the Whitebeard Pirates would have gained another formidable member.

Vista the Flower Sword said helplessly, "Who knew that a +12 artificial Devil Fruit would have such powerful abilities?"

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly realized something.

His eyes lit up. "If enhancement stones can enhance artificial Devil Fruits, does that mean they can enhance Devil Fruits themselves?!"

He was immediately filled with excitement.

"Do not..."

Marco's expression returned to calm as he pondered, "Probably not. If it were possible, Doflamingo would definitely choose to enhance the Devil Fruit, and artificial Devil Fruits wouldn't be put up for auction."

"So...it's very likely that enhancement stones can't enhance Devil Fruits. As for why they can enhance artificial Devil Fruits..."

"I don't know about that."

Chapter 92 The Excited Newspaper President Morgans

This is Marco's judgment.

If enhancement stones could enhance Devil Fruits, Doflamingo would never have put a +12 artificial Devil Fruit up for auction.

In that case...

Since it is possible to enhance artificial Devil Fruits, some people will inevitably think of enhancing real Devil Fruits.

If enhancement stones could be applied to Devil Fruits, Marco could hardly imagine such a world, where every Devil Fruit would likely become something everyone would fight over.

Marco didn't even dare to imagine what changes a Devil Fruit upgrade of 12 would bring; the increased power of the Devil Fruit user would make the world even more terrifying.

Such power would absolutely threaten Doflamingo's status and interests.

It has had an unprecedented and powerful impact on the entire world.

It has affected the entire world!

Upon hearing Marco's deduction, Vista breathed a sigh of relief, but said with lingering fear, "That's true. If Devil Fruits could be strengthened and become even more powerful, that would be terrifying."

"I'm afraid countless powerful individuals will emerge. Even if they can't enhance Devil Fruits, just enhancing artificial Devil Fruits would be astonishing."

He could already imagine that the enhanced 12 "artificial Devil Fruit" would become something that all forces would want to buy, and that Doflamingo could use it to create a powerful group of subordinates.

The Don Quixote family's power will likely increase significantly once again.

On the auction stage.

Doflamingo's smile widened, clearly very satisfied with the performance of the enhanced 12 artificial Devil Fruit, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Fufufu..."

The evil thoughts in his heart surged and burned fiercely again: "As long as I have enough enhancement stones and artificial Devil Fruits, I can build an army that can destroy the world."

"Hopefully, that guy Caesar Clown can replicate the enhancement stone as soon as possible..."
