"Blue sea person? That strange attack from underground earlier, was that your doing?"
"Thanks to you, I don't have to search for the god's power. This fruit has been calling out to me, so..."
"Sorry, but the one destined to become a god is me!"
Enel clutched the Rumble-Rumble Fruit tightly, his gaze wary as he looked down at Zyhark and Aqua from the moss-covered altar.
The wind shells on his feet emitted a faint airflow, ready to flee at any moment.
The unexpected eruption of the Cliffside Blade had already put him on guard, making a precise strike difficult.
Zyhark frowned as he watched the tense Enel, caught in a dilemma.
A high-speed attack on the fully alert Enel seemed unlikely to succeed, especially since Enel, unlike Kuro or Krieg, possessed the special ability of Mantra.
Using a full-power Cliffside Blade in this confined space could blow Enel away, but it would also destroy the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
The importance of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was undeniable. Unless forced to choose between letting Enel eat it or destroying it, Zyhark wanted to find another way.
Moreover, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was crucial for him and Aqua to escape the lightning-covered area!
But how to break the current stalemate...
"Ha? Did the explosion blow your brains out? That thing is probably just a disgusting Devil Fruit, like eating excrement! How could it make sounds?"
For once, Aqua's rare moment of clarity, combined with Zyhark's earlier reactions to the blue apple, quickly led her to deduce that the fruit was a Devil Fruit granting great power.
Having "tasted" one before, she had a very low opinion of Devil Fruits.
God's power? Just a super nasty fruit!
Before coming to the Trial of the Gods, Zyhark hadn't told Aqua about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
The idiot goddess's ability to cause trouble was unparalleled. Informing her of his suspicions about the fruit would have complicated things further, making it harder to manage.
This decision proved wise, as Aqua's unintentional mockery gave Zyhark a huge revelation: the will of the Devil Fruits!
In the original story, Devil Fruits did seem to have a vague will of their own.
For example, the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Nika Fruit), which evaded the World Government for 800 years before ending up in Luffy's hands by coincidence.
How strong was this will in choosing its user?
Even with Zyhark's presence disrupting the original plot, it didn't change Luffy becoming the Nika Fruit's wielder!
But the Nika Fruit, a mythical Zoan, was far more special than ordinary Devil Fruits.
Could the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a Logia type, also have a similar will?
As he scanned the strange carvings on the walls, thinking of Enel's moon journey, the Void Century, and the ancient robots on Bulge Island, Zyhark's eyes grew determined.
Maybe, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit really was different from other Logia Fruits!
If so, then it's worth a shot, using the Seventh Hokage's famous technique!
"Hey! Have you thought it through? This guy can't possibly bring out your full potential."
Under Enel's confused and tense gaze, Zyhark stepped forward, staring at the strange golden fruit.
Though he had to look up from the mossy altar below, his eyes shone with a powerful, imposing aura.
After his adventures in the East Blue, defeating Kuro and Arlong, his dual Haki and overall strength had grown far beyond what he was at Windmill Village.
"Following this useless fool, you'll likely be defeated by some brat who can't even use Haki. One of the world's strongest powers, wasted on a pitiful loss—is that the outcome you want?"
"Come with me. Though I'm not a great warrior now, one day, the name Zyhark will echo across the world!"
"That's the height you should reach, not stuck on a mere Sky Island playing god with ordinary people for years!"
After his speech, the underground space fell into a mysterious silence.
Even Aqua, his ally, and Enel on the altar were dumbfounded: was he talking to a fruit?
After the silence, nothing happened.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit remained motionless in Enel's hand.
So it didn't work...
Zyhark sighed softly, seeing Enel lose patience and start to eat the fruit. The gloom in his heart vanished instantly.
If he couldn't have it, he would destroy it!
"Aqua! Get ready for an explosion!" Zyhark's eyes regained their resolve.
The moss-covered altar under Enel and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit immediately lit up with a dazzling red light.
Boom!!!
The deafening explosion erupted, sending dust and debris flying, filling the air with thick smoke.
The powerful shockwave swept through the underground space, cracking the floor tiles and walls with deep fissures!
"This is..."
Zyhark instinctively halted the release of his Cliffside Blade, raising his hand to shield his face from the dust, squinting towards the front.
In that brief moment, he caught sight of a massive lightning bolt falling from the sky!
Whoosh!
As he wondered, the golden "durian" on the shattered altar flew out through the dense smoke.
After rolling on the ground several times, it stopped right at Zyhark's feet.
After a moment of shock, Zyhark couldn't help but smile, bending down to pick up the fallen Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"Very wise choice."
Without hesitation, he broke open the spiky skin, scooping out a small piece of the soft flesh and putting it in his mouth.
Unlike the blue apple, this had an indescribable, foul taste, worse than a sewer.
Got it!
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Zyhark swallowed the fruit.
As the flesh melted in his throat, a strange sensation mixed with violent energy coursed through his body, filling every nerve cell.
The most immediate change was the divine blue glow slowly radiating from Zyhark's skin.
Wait, divine?
Before Zyhark could react, Aqua, holding her goddess staff, completed a spell.
"Where's this cursed aura coming from? How dare it flaunt itself before this goddess?"
"Perish! Absolute Purification!"
