Inside Kaya's mansion.
To thank Roan and the others for defeating Kuro and saving everyone there, Kaya enthusiastically hosted them.
"You two are being too exaggerated, didn't you just eat?"
Zoro looked at the ravenously devouring Luffy and Roan, his mouth twitching.
Zoro, possessing a Monstrous Constitution (Deep Purple), though also having strong digestive abilities, was far behind Roan and Luffy, who both possessed a Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple).
On the high seas, there was no truly perfect physique.
Monstrous Constitution (Deep Purple) focused more on cultivation, while Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) focused more on digestion and absorption.
And Roan already possessed a Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple). The loading progress of Zoro's Monstrous Constitution (Deep Purple) was also very smooth, nearing completion.
Roan was very much looking forward to seeing what heights his physique could reach when these two perfectly complementary constitutions were combined.
Zoro still ate some food, while Nami, who had eaten her fill earlier under Usopp's hospitality, only ate a little dessert and fruit. She then propped up her chin, watching Roan devour his food.
Even Nami herself didn't notice the sweet smile unconsciously gracing her face.
"Delicious! Such delicious food, of course, I have to eat more."
Luffy crammed his mouth full.
Kaya's family wealth was something Kuro coveted so much that he was willing to lie in wait for three years to obtain it.
The food provided was far more luxurious than any meal Roan and the others had eaten before.
"Enhance."
Roan swallowed the food in his mouth, then muttered inwardly.
He would use the one strength-type Deep Purple tier ability he obtained from Kuro to enhance his Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple).
Roan now possessed the Born for the Sea (Super Gold) ability. His Conqueror's Haki could continuously grow stronger.
Adding a Deep Purple tier ability to strengthen a Gold tier ability wouldn't even cause a ripple.
They were about to enter the Grand Line. What Roan needed more now was a stronger physique.
"Enhancement complete."
A line of light screens appeared.
In an instant, the nutrients from the food Roan had just eaten were absorbed by Roan's body in a flash. It wasn't even enough.
Feeling his stomach empty, Roan began a new round of eating under the dumbfounded gazes of the others.
This was why Roan only enhanced his Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) after a big meal.
Directly upgrading the Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) with converted fixed abilities upgraded the limit of his physique. His stamina bar still needed to be refilled.
To put it simply, if the value of the Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) was 100/100 before, after the upgrade, it would become 100/150.
More food and nutrients were needed to fill the empty stamina bar.
As for why the Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) loaded from Luffy didn't require this process, it was because during the loading process, Luffy's entire stamina value was loaded as well. His stamina was already full, so naturally, no replenishment was needed.
This was a situation only Roan, with his Ability System, would encounter. On the Grand Line, even a monster like Charlotte Linlin strengthened her physique by strictly adhering to the law of conservation of energy, eating bite by bite.
Nowhere else could someone directly upgrade their physique's limit using abilities like Roan.
"Sugoi! Roan, your appetite is even bigger than mine."
Luffy's eyes were practically glued.
He hadn't noticed Roan's appetite was so astonishing before.
"There's plenty more, Mr. Roan."
Seeing that there wasn't much food left on the table, Kaya hurriedly called the chef to bring more.
Kaya was incredibly grateful to Roan. If it weren't for Mr. Roan, she, Merry, and everyone else here would probably have been killed by Kuro.
And...
Kaya looked at Roan, her eyes rippling slightly.
"Hoo."
After replenishing his nutrients, Roan exhaled comfortably.
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling his body's strength surge again, and a smile curled on Roan's lips.
After this ability enhancement, Roan, purely in terms of physique, could be said to be the strongest in the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Hmm? I still need about seven Deep Purple tier abilities to upgrade to a Super Purple tier ability? I see."
Roan checked the latest status of his Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple), a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Even abilities of the same tier could have significant differences.
For example, a Super Gold tier combat ability had a threshold of Admiral-level combat power. This meant that gatekeepers of Admiral-level combat power, such as 'Black Arm' Zefa in his prime, and peak Four Emperors like Kaido, would all display a Super Gold tier ability.
But the two were completely different levels of combat power.
If Zefa, as an Admiral-level gatekeeper, had a Super Gold tier ability value of '1,' then Kaido would probably be '7,' or even higher.
The Deep Purple tier ability plundered from Kuro had just reached the threshold of a Deep Purple tier ability.
Whereas the Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple) loaded from Luffy had already surpassed the Deep Purple tier threshold.
So after the enhancement, he only needed seven more Deep Purple tier abilities at the threshold level to upgrade it to a Super Purple tier ability.
Similarly, if Roan plundered a Deep Purple tier ability like Luffy's Superhuman Constitution (Deep Purple), which inherently surpassed the Deep Purple tier threshold.
Then after conversion, it would automatically convert into Deep Purple tier threshold abilities. The quantity would be determined by the quality of the plundered ability.
For example, if Roan plundered a Deep Purple tier ability that was very close to Super Purple tier, then after conversion, the number of Deep Purple tier threshold abilities Roan obtained as upgrade material might be '8,' or even '9.'
This was only reasonable. Otherwise, if the gain from plundering a Deep Purple tier ability very close to Super Purple tier was the same as plundering one that barely met the Deep Purple tier threshold, then it would be too disadvantageous.
This also aligned with the law of conservation of matter.
Roan's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Luffy, how are we going to find those pirates?"
Usopp, seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, finally spoke up.
"I don't know."
Luffy was very straightforward.
"Eh?!!!"
Usopp was instantly stunned.
"What do you mean, you don't know?! Are we going to wait here for those pirates to come to us?"
Usopp hugged his head.
There were only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one.
"Hehehe, Roan will handle it, right, Roan?"
Luffy grinned and looked at Roan.
From Luffy's perspective, such brain-intensive matters should be left to Roan.
Anyway, Roan would handle everything.
"Compared to Luffy, Roan seems more like the captain."
Zoro's face was full of helplessness at this point.
"Indeed."
Nami also smiled.
"But Roan acknowledged me as the captain, hehehe."
Luffy paid no attention to his companions' teasing, grinning.
"As captain, you're too reliant on Roan, who's a crewmate. You need to have some awareness of being a captain."
Nami admonished.
"Eh? Isn't Roan the first mate?"
At this moment, Usopp suddenly spoke.
Usopp had thought Roan was the first mate, but now it seemed he wasn't.
