Chapitre 18: [18] To the Deep

[Mariejois]
[Pangaea Castle]
Mariejois was located on the Red Line on the opposite side of the world from Reverse Mountain and served as the official route for people to cross between the two halves of the Grand Line.
The other path was under the Red Line by coating a ship.
[Image of Mariejois (in Discord)]
The capital of the World Government's interest was here, 10,000 meters in the sky.
It was here that the very top members of the Government, alongside the Celestial Dragons, reside.
Even beyond the city is the Pangaea Castle which was allegedly home to the Supreme Authority of the World Government—the Five Elders.
Mariejois was protected by the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Cipher Pol and Cipher Pol 'Aigis' Zero and the mysterious God's Knights.
…
[Pangaea Castle – Room of Authority]
Brilliant light entered through the wide-open windows, gracing the chamber with incredibly clean air.
Gold-plated walls, white furniture and grand architecture; an air of authority concentrated amongst the Five who sat at the majestic room's center.
[Five Elders' Images (in Discord)]
The Elder with the sword, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, sat on the sofa and placed a single bounty poster on the table.
"Einar D. Damien, are we surprised the chaos was caused by a D.?" he sarcastically said.
The Blond Elder, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, the youngest-looking one, also gave his thoughts: "Not only that, this Damien has now joined under that Rocks' flag. Alongside another troublesome young pirate named Kaido."
"This is no longer about the unruly pirates, it's about the constant challenges to the World Government's authority… it has been questioned again and again," the Scarred Elder, Saint Jay Garcia Saturn, chimed in.
The Long-Bearded Elder, Saint Marcus Mars, also spoke, "It's best to keep a tight lid on the news, we cannot allow things to get out of hand. Keeping them in the chaotic New World is best; let them kill each other."
"And this 'Sin Incarnate'? His father was a problem and it seems the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The death of three Celestial Dragons is on his hands."
The last Elder, Saint Topman Warcury, clenched his fist.
"It is best to nip them in the bud before they can truly sprout and blossom," he said in a tired tone, "however, the Overlords of the Seas and the other bad names are draining our forces, focusing on the future threats while allowing the present one to thrive is not without mistake."
Shing!
The V. Nusjuro unsheathed his blade just enough for his reflection to shine at the razor-sharp metal.
"Let Cipher Pol surveil them at Fishman Island, have the Navy ready to catch them when they resurface to the New World."
"Outside of that, we need to curb the ambition of that Xebec, he's far too dangerous to be left alive!"
----------------------------------------------
[The Same Day]
The ship was a little overcrowded.
Damien was given a small room, just large enough for him to lie down in, unfortunately, Kaido and Whitebeard did not have this luxury.
The dive to Fishman Island would take a couple of hours.
Damien had just walked into his room to take a nap but suddenly felt a familiar tingle.
*Purrup*
His shadow seemed to grow fluid as a figure jumped out, an instance of deja vu.
Damien's hand was instantly locked on the arm of the attacker and began to flail in the air.
"Even if I can't sense you when hidden, you're just too slow!"
Damien used this moment to examine the one attempting to take his life while she struggled in his grip.
The body was covered in a black shawl, a dark hood covering the face.
"Now, go to sleep."
Bam!
…
"Trouble?" Shakky's voice echoed in the hallway as Damien looked by the door that was ajar.
"A stowaway."
Shakky eyed the knocked-out assassin and hummed, "Looks like one of the Bounty Hunters who terrorizes cocky pirates, the 'Terror of Sabaody.'"
"Preys on either the fools who want to haphazardly waltz into the New World or those running from it, suspected of having a rather special Logia Fruit."
"The Aether Aether Fruit."
Damien scratched his chin in intrigue while pulling up the fruit's details in his mind.
>=-=----[]---<>---[]---=-=<
[Aether-Aether Fruit (Sei Sei no Mi)]
[Logia Fruit]
[Fruit Rating: 6.5 Stars]
[Allows the user to create, control, and transform into aether at will, turning them into an Aetherial Human.]
[Expanded: Aether is the element that fills the universe beyond terrestrial space. It has void-like properties alongside the ability to travel in places absent of light.]
>=-=----[]---<>---[]---=-=<
Shakky blew out a puff of smoke and continued, "She has ties with 'Black Fish' Barro – an Underworld Emperor, but knowing Barro it's nothing good."
Naturally, Shakky was well-versed in what happens in the world hidden away, where the rats make sneaky deals – the Underworld.
Shakky clicked her tongue, "Didn't think she'd be so young, how pitiful to be scrounging for big names."
Damien shrugged, "Unaware of Haki, just a cocky Logia user."
Shakky hummed in agreement, then asked, "Gonna kill her?"
Damien gazed at the unconscious assassin in his room, "She tried to kill me twice now so it's not unfounded…"
"But it would be a waste of a good fruit…"
----------------------------------------------
[Fleet Admiral's Office, Marineford]
"Are you sure it's confirmed?" Kong's tired voice questioned the snail before him.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral, CP-1 found someone who confirmed that the missing Saint was dumped into the sea by the Sin Incarnate."
The phone then hung up, leaving the top marine sitting, lost.
"Those dastardly D. only bring storms of trouble every time they appear!"
----------------------------------------------
[Three Hours Later]
"This broken ship would have gotten us here faster if it was in decent condition," Shakky complained.
"The shockwaves from that man-ape Garp and Newgate-kun left it barely mobile."
Newgate, who was drinking while leaning on the side, could only sigh.
"Garp may be a wild dog but he's strong."
Kaido also appeared while crashing his kanabo club into the ground, "WORORO! I can't wait to be strong enough to fight him!"
The others just rolled their eyes at his words, it wasn't the first time he uttered it and it won't be the last.
Soon all the eyes were diverted to the side of the ship.
"Rawwr!"
A school of Sea Kings soon appeared as they surrounded the ship, their mouths salivating.
It was almost pitched-black from the depth of their dive and the monsters were barely visible.
Shakky looked up and clapped her hands, "Dinner is here."
…
[Another Hour Later]
The darkness of the sea was soon brightly lit, almost as if the sun had risen undersea!
"So this is Fishman Island, truly a wondrous sight," Damien muttered as he saw it.
The island itself is a home for fishmen and merfolk, It serves as an underwater gateway to the New World for those who do not wish to enter through the Calm Belt.
The island resides in a giant double-layered bubble floating above the seafloor, seemingly filled with about half water and reef and half air.
Ryugu Palace rested in a smaller bubble on top of the main island's bubble. It was illuminated by the Sunlight Tree Eve that grew down from the Red Line for a whole 10 kilometers!
[Fishman Island Image (in Discord)]
.
The band of pirates was still a ways away from the island but it being the only source of light for endless darkness made it quite conspicuous.
Damien walked back to his room to see something.
And indeed it was true, he had sensed a change in breathing from the assassin – she was awake.
"Rise and shine, I know you're conscious," his voice resounded in the room as the cloaked figure trembled.
"Ugh!" a groan escaped from under the black cloak as she failed to even get up.
"Those are seastone shackles, credit to our cook who has quite the stash of goodies."
Damien then sat on the tiny sofa and peered at his attacker.
The figure had given up on struggling through the hold and eventually climbed out from the cloak, exposing who was hidden below.
Damien's eyebrow was raised as he examined the so-called 'Terror of Sabaody'.
She had a dark purple dress that went down to her thighs. Purple arm sleeves that left her shoulders exposed alongside a colour-matching hood that covered much of her violet hair, leaving the bangs to hide her forehead.
[Image of the Assassin (in Discord)]
She was around Shakky's height.
"You're much younger than I fel- *cough* thought," Damien said.
The girl looked a few years older than himself.
She didn't reply, just glared at Damien with indignation.
"Don't look at me like that," he shrugged. "I only broke your sternum, maybe punctured a lung or two."
He then saw her relatively healed appearance, "If anything, I guess a Logia user can heal such injuries quite easily."
"…"
"Well, anyways…"
Damien's eyes then grew serious as a powerful burst of oppression fell upon the girl.
Her vexed face soon warped into fear and pain as the waves of pressure fell upon her body, causing her to shrink into the bed.
"I have a few questions for you."
The overwhelming Haki imposed on her slowly receded as the panting girl tried to regain her composure.
The girl tried her best to hide her heavy breathing as she spat out, "Just kill me."
Damien slightly leaned forward with a smile, "You sure? Seems like you have some mission to accomplish that perhaps requires the money on my head. Are you sure you can die now?"
His words invoked a tremble in her body as her face failed to hide the worry.
"You tried to kill me," he addressed. "So me sparing you is equal to you owing me a great debt."
Her purple eyes shot up with certain confusion, "Y-You'll let me go?"
Damien slowly nodded, "Your devil fruit has great uses, killing you means a future enemy might get their hands on this power so I rather have it on my side."
"You have some deal with an Underground Emperor, right?"
"Mhm," She nodded in honesty. "Barro asked me for three billion berries for his help for my revenge, your bounty will finish my hunt."
Damien scoffed in return, "You actually take the word of those rats hiding in the sewers? You want vengeance then you need the necessary strength."
The girl seemed to lower her head in a mix of shame at his words, leaving the room to silence.
Meanwhile, a few thoughts sprang up in the pirate's mind as he played out a few scenarios in his mind.
Eventually, Damien pitched a thought:
"We'll probably stay here for a few weeks to repair the ship, until then I'll teach you the basics of Haki, the same ability I used to hit you even though you are a Logia."
"Haki?" she reiterated absently.
"If you can grasp even a thin fragment of Haki in that time then perhaps my investment can be worthwhile."
Damien saw the bright flame in her eyes, perhaps if he hadn't lived his previous life, he may have embarked on a similar path. Recklessly chasing vengeance without any thought for preparation, grabbing at anything light of hope.
"What do I call you?" Damien casually said as he got up to leave the room.
The girl followed and slowly gave her answer, "Aurora, my name is Aurora."
*Creak*
The door opened as the pirate walked out of the room and the inner sanctum, the bounty hunter following behind with some trepidation.
Her eyes widened as she saw the surroundings of the main deck of the ship.
The weary vessel was encased with a transparent coating.
Though the expected perpetual darkness of being undersea was not there, rather, there were around a thousand pairs of eyes glaring at the ship with ill intent.
Their skin colours ranged from blue, green, peach, purple, red, and so on. Fins and tails were present in some though every single one of them had gills.
Their weapons were ready as they locked onto the intruding ship. Numbering in the tens of thousands!
Bam!
Kaido's giant club slammed onto the floor as a wide grin was smeared across his face.
"WORORO! Look like you little fishies want a fight, bring it on!"
Shakky raised her beloved pistol, not showing any signs of fear in the face of great threats.
The truth was that they were around 10,000 meters below the sea, if the coating were to burst then things could get messy fast.
.
But a large hand was soon put in Kaido's way as Whitebeard slowly walked ahead.
"We don't need to fight."
He then saw a giant merman rushing through the masses of fishmen.
A golden trident in his hand as he warily watched the intruders.
He was around forty feet tall with a red nose, small eyes, and long thick orange-curly hair. His puffy orange beard covered the majority of his lower face and his entire mouth.
(40 Feet = 12.2 Meters)
.
"It's you, Newgate!"
The future Emperor also seemed welcoming as he nodded, "Neptune, been a while since I've seen you."
The ginormous merman then gestured to the others, "Stand down, he's a friend-jamon."
Shakky whispered to Damien, "That's the 'Great Knight' Neptune – the highest-ranking soldier of Ryugu Palace. Newgate-san has some history with him."
Damien nodded at the information. After all, Neptune is the future King of Fishman Island.
.
Soon the ship began to enter the island as it passed through each bubble.
As the coating was removed the ship creaked its final cry and fell apart.
Cracks and scars covered the vessel as future travels seemed impossible.
Damien breathed in the fresh, coastal air as he marvelled at the beauty of the island.
"Can I ask for your help in fixing the ship, Neptune?" Whitebeard asked as the party landed on open soil.
The merman seemed hesitant.
"That'll be hard-jamon," he admitted with a heavy expression.
"The King is ill and the appearances of humans looking to capture our own have increased a lot. Me letting you in is already the height of our patience!"
Damien, who stood nearby, had to agree.
'Based on my readings, Fishman Island has been at war with human traffickers and pirates for decades upon decades… it's no wonder it feels so tense,' he thought, feeling the distant glares from all directions.
Though the fishmen had stood down at Neptune's command, they remained nearby, ready to fight; great aggression emanated from them.
.
Whitebeard looked at the wrecked ship.
Shakky was going to offer a possible solution but something else happened.
An emaciated Fishman soon swam over in a great hurry, attracting the eyes of everyone.
"It's you!" he exclaimed.
The fishman was pointing at the red-eyed young pirate with stunned eyes.
"I couldn't thank you before, you probably didn't see me but I was one of the ones you freed from Sabaody!"
Neptune's eyes widened as he asked, "T-The one who killed the Celestial Dragons?"
*Gulp*
The giant merman took a deep breath and then gestured to the fishman around him: "Perhaps we can help with repairing your ship after all-jamon."

Chapitre 19: [19] Let it Flow
[2540 words]
----------------------------------------------
"How'd this become about me?" Damien muttered with some confusion.
Shakky elbowed him from the side, "Looks like you saved us from some trouble, Damien-chan."
The young pirate in question just cleared his throat and firmly said, "It was all part of my plan."
The words evoked a giggle from the woman as the two waited for the giant merman to finish his words.
Neptune regained his bearings and gave an option, "Let's go talk someplace more fitting-jamon."
----------------------------------------------
[Ryugu Palace]
"The current King is sick and cannot meet you but I will speak on behalf of our people-jamon," Neptune said as he stood beside the throne.
Damien and co had been invited to the palace, a wondrous place with a giant golden dragon hoisted behind it.
The huge doors that spanned dozens of meters alongside the coral and undersea flowers created quite the contrast.
Rainbow light bathed the Palace with breathtaking majesty.
[Image of the Palace (in Discord)]
"You should know of our anger to humans-jamon," The merman said with a sigh. "Even though we are under the Government, our home is not protected by them so we have to fight back with everything we have."
Newgate sat down on the ground while hearing the words.
"And yet you agreed to help," Shakky said as she puffed out a cloud of smoke.
Neptune nodded, "Though our people, myself included, hate humans more than ever, many will change their perspective after the news of you killing the World Nobles-jamon."
"Hoh Hoh Hoh! The irony leaves me speechless!"
The Knight of the Sea then calmed down and addressed a question: "How long will you stay here?"
Newgate looked up to the towering Fishman and roughly estimated, "Three weeks should be enough for the repairs and new coating."
Neptune just nodded, "Make yourself at home, just be understanding of any stares-jamon."
----------------------------------------------
[A Little While Later]
"The repairs will begin tomorrow, some young merman by the name of 'Den' will oversee it," Shakky said while getting some belongings from the ship.
"Your little prisoner is in your room, you're more of a playboy than I thought, you won't attack me in my sleep, right?" She teasingly said.
Damien rolled his eyes, "I don't have time for such things."
Shakky then looked at Damien and lightly hummed, "Don't get too lost in your path to power, it will leave you lonely," she said with an air of helplessness.
The woman then hopped off the ship and went to her own devices.
Damien fell in some thought but eventually shook his head and went back to his room.
*Creak*
He saw the girl sitting on the ground, lost in thought.
"Killing Saints," She muttered to the person who came in. "I didn't think there'd be such crazy people in this world."
Damien just gave a small laugh.
"Rahahaha! Sabaody is probably in a full lockdown, the news of the deaths will surely leave them in shambles."
The Celestial Dragons' troubles were music to the pirate's ears.
.
Damien then changed the subject to something else.
"You were able to dive into and out of my shadow back then," he began. "Tell me more about that."
Aurora looked up and hesitated for a second before answering truthfully:
"I can enter what I call the 'Night Realm' with my powers, it's a separate world, and it allows me to carry out my bounty hunting with great efficiency."
Damien nodded at the words, "A perfect power for an assassin."
While thinking inside, 'A separate world… kinda like the Door-Door fruit or the Mirror World made by the Mirror-Mirror fruit.'
"Take me into it."
*Click*
The seastone shackles were unlocked, leaving behind a shocked Aurora.
"You…"
Damien shrugged, "Hurry up now."
The girl looked up with mixed thoughts but then nodded.
Her hand reached out to grab Damien's arm.
*Purrup*
Purple energy soon enveloped him as he felt weightlessness.
Soon both were pulled down and into his very shadow, leaving behind an empty room.
Damien's senses went haywire as he felt his balance fall and turn upside down and inside out.
It only lasted a second till he rose out from his shadow once more, to this time the usual scenery of his room was there, but it was as if he was seeing the world through purple-tinted glasses.
The surroundings were coated with violet energy, giving everything a rather unsettling look.
"I can't sense things beyond this world but I can move around without problem," he muttered.
Aurora just watched, still a little unsure of her decision to let Damien in.
Her eyes soon cleared up and she spoke up, "Yes… I can move around here and go back to reality by leaving through the shadows."
Damien saw his room, his bed was casting a shadow that felt like a gateway.
He then looked at the girl.
"I wasn't wrong in not killing you," Damien said. "How 'bout it, I will give you the tools to fulfil your vengeance and if you succeed, you will work under me."
Damien had certain aspirations to control power beyond the scope of a pirate.
An area that existed in the grey zone between the Navy and the Pirates. He needed fitting personnel to oversee this.
The choice to gain power at the cost of working for the man whom she had tried to kill had left Aurora a little befuddled.
Recalling the 'Haki' and its evident strength cleared up that fog.
'He has no reason to lie,' she thought.
Damien saw her ambivalent expression and added a little fire, "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
The girl was instantly lost in Damien's profound words, not knowing he had shamelessly stolen it from a wise person from his previous life.
A few moments passed and Aurora came to a decision: "I'll do it!"
----------------------------------------------
[The Following Night]
Damien decided to give the assassin girl a main goal to give up her sight and focus on her surroundings solely on her devil fruit power, experimenting if her ability to sense the darkness around her could awaken Observation Haki.
He also had a different task of his own.
"Three weeks before entering the final sea, my devil fruit mastery is still stuck but perhaps that man can help me…"
He eventually made his way to an abandoned area of Fishman Island.
It was far from the main populace and under some coral hills.
Damien studied the terrain and found his target.
"You wandered all the way here, brat."
The young pirate gave a helpless laugh at his senses once again being fooled by the much stronger pirate that was sitting atop the hill with a barrel of alcohol.
Damien jumped to the top and stood near the giant man with the white stache.
*Gurrup* The man drank the liquid while watching the Sunlight tree Eve.
.
"What do you think the Marines will do?" the younger pirate casually asked.
Whitebeard paused his drinking and gave a casual answer.
"Heh, don't expect much truth, they've been extinguishing Rocks' actions for a while now; a cover-up is natural."
Damien nodded at the words.
"They don't have resources for anything more down here, the New World is too chaotic."
The man then drank a few more liters of the drink.
In the middle of his gulping of alcohol, Newgate took another glance at Damien and narrowed his eyes.
"A year ago Rocks sent me to bring Kaido to him, and now you," he said. "But you're not like that war-driven fool, why come under Rocks' flag?"
Damien looked at the man more than twice his size and answered, "I want strength."
Newgate looked away from the youth and went back to drinking.
"The only thing you'll find at the Hachinosu is the worst scum of mankind."
Whitebeard's eyes changed, they grew fiery, "The sea can't be tamed by a bunch of fools who lack a moral code!"
"They'll kill themselves before grasping even a hint of power!"
The cliff began to tremble with slight vibrations at the annoyed pirate.
Damien took a breath and asked, "Why do you stay under Rocks then?"
"..."
A silence broke out as the giant man once again glared at the young pirate beside him.
His sharp eyes befell the youth with an expressionless face.
*Gurrup*
Newgate gave a slight sigh and drank another few mouthfuls of saké.
"Just repaying a debt," he said.
Though his tone shifted to a more yearning one: "I'm also searching for something."
Damien naturally asked, "What's that?"
"A family."
"..."
Whitebeard glanced at the boy who simply nodded.
He raised his eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "You don't find that odd?"
Damien just smiled with a shrug, "Who am I to judge."
Whitebeard lowered his saké cup subconsciously, "Gurarara! You're a funny kid!"
.
The two then returned to a brief silence as Damien voiced out:
"I came here for a favour."
"And what's that?"
Damien turned his gaze to the future Emperor, "I've been at a threshold with my devil fruit…"
He then touched a coral sticking out of the ground.
The sound of pixelation resounded as the coral glowed red for a second and then exploded into tiny pieces, too many to count.
Whitebeard seemed interested in the power, seeing it for the first time.
"Oh? It's a dangerous power but fits a bold kid like you."
Damien then allowed some of the red mist to sizzle out of his palm as he examined it from close-up.
"I ate the Pulverize-Pulverize Fruit and became a Pulverizing human," he explained. "The power is listed as the same destruction-class fruits as yours."
Whitebeard completed his sentence: "And you think that I can help you."
He then put his jug of saké by the side and stood up, casting a giant shadow toward the rocky terrain.
Suddenly, the man reeled in his right fist, almost driving it into his opposite shoulder.
He then swung it forward.
*Crack*
The air soon creaked and shattered like glass as the incredible power shook the very ground the two were on.
It was an astonishing sight of a single punch quite literally shattering the fabric of space.
Following the attack, a powerful wave of expanding air and concentrated destruction shot out and travelled to a nearby hill.
BOOM! *Rumble*
The hill exploded into a rain of debris with dust.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit—the power that could destroy the world.
.
Whitebeard then grabbed his drink once again and sat down, "You saw it? The difference in how I used my power?"
Damien thought it over and arrived at an epiphany.
"I see," he slowly said. "You let the full power loose without any attempt to control it, rather than to forcefully direct it."
Whitebeard nodded at the words, "When it comes to a destructive and volatile force, trying to control it will only limit its power."
"But it can be hard to fully concentrate your power efficiently, especially when it is so devastating."
Damien nodded in agreement, his eyes soon wandering to the large glaive resting on the ground.
"Is that why you use that weapon? It helps further concentrate your attacks?"
The large pirate grinned, "That's right, maybe you should look for a suitable weapon too."
'A weapon…' Damien thought.
But he then turned his attention elsewhere.
He gazed at the red energy emanating from his palm.
They were tiny crystalline shapes that slowly rose out in a frenzy manner.
"Rather than controlling it, it's better to embrace its destructibility…"
Damien's mind was spit-firing thoughts as Whitebeard just watched in intrigue.
Soon Damien's body began to gather the red energy from every pore and directed it to his palm. Rather than locking them down into his hand, he instead began to allow it to flow out.
*Fwoooo*
The emergence of such energy summoned screeches from the air that had recently been shattered and were now being crushed apart.
Damien waved his glowing hand as a large stream of crimson energy exploded out and began to form a field surrounding him.
The crimson dome soon fell upon the land and began to crush and ravage everything within.
*Hiss!*
The air violently shrieked as if everything nearby had begun to tremble and shred apart. The field expanded to around ten meters in all directions.
Crimson lines shot out from Damien's body, mimicking magnetic field lines, digging and drilling into everything within its scope.
[Fruit Mastery has reached the Intermediate Stage.]
Whitebeard chuckled at the sight of Damien's revelling in his newfound power.
He opened his palm and felt the crimson energy drilling into his skin, leaving it numb, 'Another monstrous brat.'
----------------------------------------------
[Midnight]
Damien had left Whitebeard's resting area feeling energized.
His new powers allowed him to expand his influence into the nearby area, crushing everything within a certain area.
It even reminded Damien of the level of Awakening of a Paramecia fruit, but naturally, it wasn't it.
'Sibyl, tell me a little on Awakening a devil fruit,' he asked in his mind.
[It is the final stage of a fruit power, vastly stronger and more supreme than any fruit applications beforehand.]
She continued, [Awakening a devil fruit is not easy, if anything, you can use the star count of a power to realize its difficulty.]
Damien stopped in his tracks.
'Awakened Paramecia from what I recall in my past life were Doflamingo, Katakuri, Kid, and Law.'
Damien then listed each fruit based on their masteries, referring to the vast array of knowledge he had obtained two years ago and Sibyl's insights.
[String-String Fruit – 5.5 Stars]
[Mochi-Mochi Fruit – 6 Stars]
[Magnet-Magnet Fruit – 6.5 Stars]
[Ope-Ope Fruit – 7 Stars]
Doflamingo's power was quite powerful in his hands but it seemed to reach a certain threshold and simply could never go beyond. It was rather Doflamigo's intelligence and knowledge that made him a grave threat.
Based on his fruit rating, it would be fairly easy to Awaken in the hands of someone with a high affinity to the power.
Katakuri's fruit was sitting at six stars, this would make it a step harder to Awaken than the String fruit.
The same idea was expanded to the Magnet fruit. It was at the same level as Damien's fruit power, with the ability to wreak havoc of great proportions.
Kid had Awakened in his early twenties—an impressive feat.
"The Ope-Ope Fruit is ranked as a 7-star fruit… no wonder it was so damn broken!" the pirate exclaimed.
Such a fruit was coined as an Ultimate-Class devil fruit by Sibyl.
[The difficulty in Awakening such ultimate fruits can vary, they are the ones that can manipulate the Laws of Nature and Reality.]
Such a fruit rating should be harder to Awaken, yet Law did it by the age of 26.
"Is it the 'Will of D.'?" Damien asked himself.
"My fruit power should Awaken naturally in six or so years," he calculated. "Yet God Valley will happen much earlier than that…"
The young pirate clenched his hand, ambition once again fuelling his spirit: "It's too slow... I'll need to step up my game!"
