Maki looked at the top half of the card.
An image was displayed there.
It showed a strange creature—or rather, something that looked like an animal. It had no eyes, only a massive mouth. Its body was covered in sharp, jagged scales that looked more like blades than skin.
"What… is this?" Maki muttered.
He then read the description written beneath the image.

Item Description
In the Naruto universe, Kisame Hoshigaki's sword, Samehada (meaning Sharkskin), is less of a weapon and more of a terrifying sentient creature.
Unlike ordinary blades that cut, Samehada is covered in sharp, jagged scales designed to shred and tear flesh instead of slicing it cleanly. It is usually wrapped in thick bandages to hide its grotesque appearance, but when it "awakens" or senses powerful chakra, the bandages unravel, revealing a mouth full of needle-like teeth at its tip.
Samehada's Key Traits:
Texture: Instead of a sharp edge, it uses a sandpaper-like surface of scales to rip apart opponents.
Size: A massive, heavy, cleaver-style weapon.

"What's the Naruto universe?" Maki muttered. "Same… hada?"
And most importantly—
"This thing is a weapon?"
Maki was completely flabbergasted.
His very first draw was a living weapon that looked like Venom.
He gulped and looked at the little girl.
"…Does this thing eat its owner?"
The little girl saw his reaction and shrugged casually.
"You really don't watch anime, do you?"
Maki frowned. "Well, I never knew it was called anime. What's the difference between a cartoon and anime? Aren't they the same?"
The moment she heard that—
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
The little girl exploded.
"DON'T EVER—EVER—EVER COMPARE ANIME TO CARTOONS!"
She kept shouting, words spilling out so fast Maki couldn't even understand half of what she was saying. But one thing was clear—
She was furious.
Maki raised a hand. "Okay, okay, don't shout. You're too loud. And that wasn't even my question."
He pointed back at the card.
"Tell me—does this thing eat its owner? Like Venom?"
The little girl scoffed, then puffed out her cheeks.
"Hmph! Thanks to me, everything you draw won't hurt you at all!"
She turned her head away and snorted.
"…Thanks, I guess."
Maki paused, then asked, "But what is this cha—chakra? Is it like energy or something?"
The little girl shook her head.
"You're really dumb, aren't you?" she muttered. "You don't even know what chakra is… whatever. I don't feel like explaining everything."
She waved her hand dismissively.
"Tsk. When you actually hold the weapon or touch the item, the information will flood into your mind automatically. So I'm not explaining more."
Her voice wasn't angry anymore—just irritated, clearly still upset about the cartoon comment.
Maki stared at her for a moment.
Then she snapped, "Come on! Hurry up and finish your draws!"
Maki sighed, shook his head, and pressed the golden box again.
This time—
He tapped it twice.
The golden box shook once more, but this time it lasted longer.
Then, two cards appeared.
Unlike before, they didn't expand immediately.
Maki glanced at both and pressed the one on the right.
The card expanded just like the first.
A new image appeared.
It was a fruit.
But it looked strange—oddly shaped, unnatural.
Maki squinted at it.
"A fruit…?" he muttered. "I've never seen anything like this before."
He tilted his head.
"…Is this thing even edible?"
♤
Maki looked at the image of a fruit. Its surface was covered with strange swirling patterns, and he didn't really know what it was. Then he read the description below the image.
Let's see what you are.
Moa Moa no Mi (More-More Fruit)
Paramecia-type Devil Fruit — One Piece universe
Shape: It was shaped like a large, multi-lobed fruit, somewhat resembling a bunch of rounded, bulbous segments fused together. It looked a bit like a cluster of cherries or a stylized ginger root.
Color: A vibrant teal, almost sea-foam green.
Pattern: It featured the characteristic swirly "S" patterns across its entire surface. These swirls were very prominent, giving it a textured, "expanding" look.
Stem: It had a thick, dark green stem that curled at the end, much like the tail of a pig or a vine.
"More-more fruit?" said Maki, seeing a Devil Fruit for the first time.
The Moa Moa no Mi (More-More Fruit) was a teal-colored Paramecia fruit that looked like a cluster of round bulbs fused together, similar to a bunch of grapes or a ginger root.
Simple Breakdown:
The Power: It allowed the user to increase the size, speed, and strength of anything they touched by up to one hundred times.
In Combat: A tiny pebble could become a giant boulder, and a slow punch could become one hundred times faster and harder.
How could this odd-looking fruit give such an ability? Where was this One Piece universe, and how come he had never heard of it before? Was something like this even possible? Just imagining how this fruit could be put into action made him excited. One hundred times everything—just thinking about it was insane. Maki was really shocked by this little detail.
"Hahahahahaha! Did you see that? Now you call it some cartoon!"
The little girl was laughing maniacally at Maki's reaction to such a small thing.
"Well, I don't really get it much," Maki said, "but just this makes me think of some overpowered abilities."
"Well anyway, how can I use this? It's useless if I can't use it right."
The little girl was still laughing, but when she heard him, she paused for a moment. Then she said, "Are you really that much of an idiot? Just press the integrate below the card."
"Integrate? But I never sa—" Maki stopped when he saw integrate written in black at the very bottom of the card.
His mouth twitched. "You put it there, didn't you?" he shouted, pointing his finger at the little girl, who was pouting in the corner.
Seeing that she didn't reply or defend his claim, he pressed the integrate text.
The card suddenly shrank into a black orb of light. It flew out from the system panel and sank into his forehead. He felt it instantly—a burning sensation—and for some reason, he felt incredibly powerful.
In his mind, he could feel the changes. It was as if he had gained memories about the card. They played like a video in his head: he saw a Viking-like man using the Devil Fruit, making a cannon larger and showing many more applications.
Then he snapped out of his trance and blinked.
"So that's how it is… What a fearsome guy, destroying an island just like that. World Destroyer—such a good alias."
"You see?" the little girl said. "That's anime, not some cartoon. Do you understand now, bullhead?"
"But what's the difference?" Maki said. "Aren't they the same? They're drawn and just made to move."
The little girl clenched her small fists. "You're really an idiot!" She stomped her feet many times on the clear floor while muttering angrily.
Maki didn't bother with her tantrum.
He looked again as another card expanded, and this time it was—
