"Phoenix Queen" Gion [Zoan Type - Bird Bird Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Phoenix Form + Paramecia Type - Tremor Tremor Fruit.]
Phoenix Form: One of the rarest Mythical Zoan fruits, considered top-tier among Mythical Zoans.
Tremor Tremor Fruit: Known as the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
Obtaining either of these fruits would allow someone with decent talent to eventually reach the level of a Yonko or Admiral without much difficulty.
On the seas, Gion possesses exceptional talent among women, second only to Charlotte Linlin and on par with Yamato. She is one of the few women whose physical strength and Haki have reached the pinnacle of the seas.
The moment Gion consumed the Tremor Tremor Fruit, her combat power skyrocketed dramatically.
Her combat power, originally close to 530,000, instantly increased by approximately 200,000, reaching a total of 730,000.
730,000 combat power places her at the peak of Yonko/Admiral-level strength, equivalent to figures like Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp in their prime.
Gion, however, is still in the early stages of her prime. With her immortal and ageless physique, 730,000 combat power is not her limit. It is highly likely that she will surpass the peak of Yonko/Admiral-level strength in the future.
Gion's combat power has now surpassed that of Charlotte Linlin, solidifying her position as the second-in-command and second-strongest member of the Sun and Moon Pirates.
"Let's move out."
With the Tremor Tremor Fruit secured, the best remaining Devil Fruits among the pirates on the seas are Kaido's Zoan Type - Fish Fish Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Azure Dragon Form, as well as one or two other high-quality fruits in Wano Country, which is adjacent to the Beast Pirates.
The remaining top-tier fruits are mostly in the hands of the Marines or imprisoned pirates in Impel Down.
Boa Hancock used her Float Float Fruit ability to control the Sun and Moon Ship, hovering it just above the sea and moving at an incredible speed.
There was no need to waste achievement points to teleport the ship. With less than a month left until Akainu becomes the Marine Fleet Admiral, it was important to save achievement points for the final battle.
Since the start of the Devil Fruit plundering, the overall strength of the Sun and Moon Pirates had entered another explosive growth phase, surpassing even the growth spurt from a decade ago.
Kuke looked around at the women on the ship. Some of them had hopeful and expectant looks in their eyes, wondering when they would receive a Devil Fruit or even a new one.
With some free time, Kuke began redistributing the extra Devil Fruits on the ship.
"Nami."
Kuke beckoned Nami over.
The fiery Nami, usually bold and confident, seemed a bit nervous in front of Kuke.
Kuke examined Nami closely.
Without the traumatic experiences of her childhood from the original story, Nami's large, watery eyes still retained the purity of a young girl.
"You've grown into a fine young woman."
Nami, both shy and bold, twirled around in front of Kuke, exuding charm.
"Do you want to become a Devil Fruit user?" Kuke asked.
There was a Devil Fruit that seemed particularly suited for Nami.
"Me?"
Nami pointed at herself excitedly.
As one of the newest members of the crew, Nami had assumed she would be one of the last to receive a Devil Fruit.
Kuke nodded.
"I do!"
Nami didn't hesitate, nodding her head rapidly like a pecking chicken.
"Aren't you going to ask what ability it is?"
"Whatever the Captain gives me, I'll accept it gladly." Nami blinked her beautiful eyes.
Many of the other crew members looked at Nami with envy.
They weren't envious of her becoming a Devil Fruit user. In their hearts, being chosen by Captain Kuke sooner meant being more valued and cared for.
"Hancock, the Love-Love Fruit will be inherited by Nami." Kuke looked at Hancock.
He planned to make Nami the user of the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit, the ability Hancock once possessed.
Now that Hancock had the Paramecia-type Float Float Fruit, the Love-Love Fruit was left without an owner.
While the Love-Love Fruit couldn't compare to top-tier abilities like the Float Float Fruit, it was still a powerful Devil Fruit on the seas.
Nami's appearance and personality made her a perfect fit for the Love-Love Fruit, as she was naturally charming.
"Of course, that's fine." Hancock had no objections.
Nami held the Love-Love Fruit in her hands, even more excited.
What thrilled her most wasn't the power of the Love-Love Fruit, but the fact that it had once been Hancock's ability.
Having been on the ship for some time, Nami had learned many details about the crew.
She knew that Hancock was one of the earliest members to follow Kuke and was also one of the Captain's favorite crew members.
Nami thought to herself happily, "Captain Kuke is letting me inherit Hancock's Love-Love Fruit. Does that mean one day, I can have the same place in his heart as Hancock?"
Feeling delighted, Nami ate the Love-Love Fruit, savoring its sweetness.
The moment she consumed it, Nami's appearance didn't change—she still had her slender waist and graceful figure—but she now exuded an additional layer of captivating charm.
With a playful glance, Nami winked at Kuke, lightly touched the corner of her mouth, and fired a pink heart-shaped beam, using her new ability.
"Huh? It didn't work?"
Nami looked at Kuke, disappointed.
Wasn't it said that no one could resist the charm of the Love-Love Fruit? Was it because she couldn't compare to Hancock yet?
"You're being mischievous."
Kuke flicked Nami's fair forehead in mock annoyance.
She covered her forehead, pouting pitifully, not daring to act up again.
Nami's combat power jumped from three digits to four digits, reaching over 4,000. With proper training, it was highly possible for her to reach nearly 100,000,000 in a short time.
100,000,000 combat power would place her at the level of a Supernova among newcomers.
"Galette." Kuke then called Galette over.
Galette, trembling with excitement, walked over to Kuke on unsteady legs.
"Smoothie, the Paramecia-type Press Press Fruit you once had will now go to Galette." Kuke looked at Smoothie.
Smoothie now possessed the Zoan Type - Human Human Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Buddha Form, so her former Paramecia-type Press Press Fruit was left unused.
While the Press Press Fruit couldn't compare to the Buddha Form, it was still a powerful Devil Fruit on the seas, well-suited for Galette.
Galette's current Paramecia-type Butter Butter Fruit was rather mediocre compared to the Press Press Fruit.
"Alright." Smoothie was even more excited than Galette.
Galette's ability changed from the Butter Butter Fruit to the Press Press Fruit.
Her combat power rose from over 20,000 to over 30,000.
Galette, feeling lightheaded, was pulled aside by Smoothie for a private conversation.
Amande and the other sisters also gathered around.
"Galette, now that you have the Press Press Fruit, you can prepare drinks for Captain Kuke every day. This is a great opportunity to get close to him regularly."
Smoothie looked at Galette with envy.
She somewhat regretted switching from the Press Press Fruit to the Buddha Form. While her combat power had increased, she had lost the chance to get closer to the Captain.
"No matter what, we can't let Mom succeed."
Galette felt the pressure mounting.
"The future of our sisters depends on you."
In the distance, Charlotte Linlin, who was busy grooming herself, felt her eyelid twitch. She glared at her unfilial daughters huddled together.
"Are they plotting against me again? How annoying." Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth. "If it weren't for you girls, I might have succeeded by now."
