When Johan finished his conversation with Crocodile, Crocodile informed him that they had obtained a very interesting Devil Fruit: the Gasha Gasha No Mi. It had the ability to manipulate various materials and combine them into a single structure.
"Well, it seems we found it ahead of schedule. Too bad for him," Johan thought.
Johan headed towards A1, where he had built a small laboratory. The only thing missing was a scientist capable of using it. If he could find Caesar Clown, it would be perfect.
His main goal was to kidnap Vegapunk, who was not yet under the World Government's control. However, Vegapunk was a pacifist, and Johan doubted he would have the courage to destroy the world.
On the other hand, Caesar had no problem creating weapons of mass destruction. As long as he had enough supplies, he would naturally provide a large number of weapons.
-Marine Headquarters, Marineford
In the office of the Fleet Admiral, a loud bang shook the room. Kong had destroyed his desk upon reading a report from the Marine base in Sabaody.
Kong: "What the hell does this mean?! A Devil Fruit of water? And a user capable of using it to destroy a mangrove? I need to verify this..."
Kong got up from his chair and walked to the window, looking at the ocean to calm himself. "It's not necessary; I checked it myself a few hours after the incident and interrogated the people who saw it all. The information is correct; a Devil Fruit with the power to manipulate water has appeared. We don't know if it's a Paramecia, Zoan, or Logia..."
The figure speaking was a large man with muscles all over his body and distinctive purple hair. He was Admiral Black Arm Zephyr.
By this time, Zephyr's family had already been killed, but instead of retiring and becoming an instructor, he decided to keep his rank as an Admiral for a few more years until other talented individuals took his place.
Beside him was his fellow Admiral, Sengoku, who shared the same rank. He also voiced his opinion.
Sengoku: "This sea will become even more chaotic. We must find this person as soon as possible. If we let them develop further, they will pose a great danger in the future. I suggest we offer a reward of 500,000,000 Beli. The informants said that he not only uses the power of the Devil Fruit effectively, but also has a high level of Haki. Finally, defeat Moria in one fell swoop."
Kong contemplated the situation for a while and finally spoke. "I will consider it... Zephyr, you will be in charge of locating this person and arresting them at all costs. We must not allow this Devil Fruit to circulate in the world!"
Zephyr: "Understood, I will leave immediately." Everyone in the room nodded and went to their respective duties.
The year 1501 ended without further incidents. Zephyr's exhaustive searches yielded no results. It was as if that person had disappeared.
-Somewhere in the Grand Line
Johan: "Well, it's time to take action again. Now that Cipher Pol is back searching for the cargo, my fortune has increased once more. This time, Baldur and Rose managed to produce 25 tons of drug pills. That's $1,250,000,000 Beli!"
Johan: "System, general status."

Johan closed his eyes, preparing for the wave of pain. However, something entirely strange happened. A warm wave coursed through his body, and his eyes began to close until he fell unconscious.
An hour later, he woke up, but something was different. When he stood up, he bumped his head against the ceiling of his room. Looking in the mirror, he saw that he had grown nearly 2 meters taller!
His current height was 398 centimeters. Examining his body, he noticed that not only had his muscles increased in size, but they also looked much more defined.
Johan: "What the hell? What happened to me? This is quite unexpected..."
After taking a few minutes to process his change, he went to the ship's bow and spoke again.
Since he hadn't spent all his Beli, he still had a significant sum left, which he naturally intended to use in the system store.
Johan: "System, open the store."
System: (Since a year has passed since the system's inception, the store has been updated. Here are the available items:
*Dragon Ball: Senzu Bean $50,000,000, "Heals any illness and restores energy by 50%, the host can only have 3 in their inventory."
**Berserk: Berserker Armor $400,000,000, "This armor provides a significant increase in all abilities, increases physical resistance while sacrificing internal damage, can only be used once per day."
*Naruto: Mangekyo Sharingan Obito $550,000,000. "In addition to obtaining the basic Sharingan abilities, the Mangekyo allows the use of the Kamui spatial ability. To balance the ability, it can only be used for 1 second."
Johan: "Hmm, for now, I'll just buy 1 Senzu Bean."
Tempted, he couldn't help but think about the powerful items in the store, but he decided to wait a while before deciding which one to purchase.
