One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 257 Sentomaru's Dissatisfaction

Vegapunk stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Being able to withstand the power of three different Devil Fruits is indeed very unusual."

He circled the black-bearded man a few times, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.

"Perhaps it's related to the Dark-Dark Fruit? It can absorb damage and release dark power, so maybe this special ability changed its body structure," Rorschach speculated.

Blackbeard's expression changed, and he roared, "Don't make wild guesses!"

Vegapunk's eyes suddenly lit up. "If we can unlock this secret, we might be able to develop new technologies or Devil Fruit abilities."

He called over several mechanical assistants, "Let's give him a full check-up first."

The mechanical assistants acted swiftly, lifting the struggling Blackbeard into the testing chamber.

A moment later, the data appeared on the large screen. Vegapunk examined it closely, his brows furrowing, his expression gradually turning to surprise. "Hmm? This guy doesn't have a Devil Fruit ability?"

"He should have the Dark-Dark Fruit, right?"

Rorschach scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Ahem, I already took all of Blackbeard's Devil Fruits yesterday, after all, that guy is a dangerous person."

Vegapunk stared wide-eyed at Rorschach. "How did you do that? This is unprecedented."

Rorschach shrugged. "It seems the Doctor only has a superficial understanding of my information!"

Rorschach grinned, and his palm flashed with a shimmering green light. "In my current state, I can extract the Doctor's Devil Fruit ability. Want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk instinctively took three steps back, forcing a smile. "That won't be necessary. My abilities are very important to me."

Meanwhile, Blackbeard, who was bound, heard the group's laughter and roared angrily, "You despicable bastards, let me go right now!"

However, he was powerless to resist while bound in the testing chamber.

Vegapunk ignored him and instead asked Rorschach, "Where is the Devil Fruit you took out now?"

Rorschach shrugged. "I keep most of the fruits I've obtained in my base's warehouse. If any new marines join, I let them pick one."

On the other side, Sentomaru hesitated for a long time before finally taking a bite of the golden Devil Fruit in his hand. Instantly, an indescribable taste spread in his mouth.

"It tastes...it's awful!"

"Is this what a Devil Fruit is?"

When Garp saw Sentomaru's expression, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Another one has been bewitched by Rorschach and eaten a Devil Fruit."

"How is it? Does Sentomaru taste good?"

"Have you noticed any changes in yourself?"

Sentomaru spat out a few mouthfuls, his face flushed, and shouted, "What's changed? Except for this disgusting taste!"

Rorschach walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Wait and see. The Devil Fruit power won't show up immediately."

"After all, what I gave you was a mythical beast!"

Soon, a few minutes later, Sentomaru suddenly shuddered. A golden light emanated from his body, and golden hair slowly grew on his originally fair back. The hair was incredibly fine, and he seemed to have grown about a size larger.

"It really has changed!" Garp exclaimed, his mouth agape in surprise.

Sentomaru also noticed the changes in his body, but something felt off to him.

Sentomaru frowned and looked at Rorschach. "Vice Admiral Seiryu, what type of Devil Fruit did you give me?"

"I have a feeling something's not right!"

"Why is it covered in so much hair?"

Rorschach took a step back, glanced at Garp, and gave him an awkward smile. "Old man, you say it for me, quick!"

Garp picked his nose and said speechlessly, "I don't know the name of your fruit, how can I say it?"

"You tell me yourself!"

Rorschach's lips twitched. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it; he was afraid that Sentomaru would get angry. If it came from Garp's mouth, he would tolerate it even if Sentomaru was angry.

But what if I say it out loud and Sentomaru throws a punch at me?

Just as Rorschach was pondering, Sentomaru asked again, "Vice Admiral Seiryu, have you forgotten the name of this fruit?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten. I remember it should be Zoan type, Mythical Zoan type, Monkey-Monkey Fruit, Mega Monkey form."

Upon hearing this, Sentomaru's face instantly darkened. "What? The Monkey-Monkey Fruit? How could I become something like that?" he exclaimed, charging towards Rorschach.

Garp quickly stopped him, "Sentomaru, calm down, this is also a powerful ability."

Sentomaru snorted, trying hard to suppress his anger.

Luo Xia's lips twitched, thinking, "It's just a bigger monkey, right? As long as it's strong, that's all that matters. I worked hard to find it, so even if it didn't do any good, it still deserves credit. And you're still complaining."

Meanwhile, Blackbeard continued his cursing inside the testing chamber. Vegapunk, however, seemed to have thought of something and said to Rorschach, "Since you can take Devil Fruits, can you directly bestow their abilities upon others?" Rorschach shook his head, "Not yet, it can only be done by eating a Devil Fruit."

Vegapunk sighed, "What a pity. If it could be directly granted, the Navy's strength would be greatly enhanced."

Luo Xia smiled and said, "It's alright. I don't care about the navy or anything like that. All I want to do right now is to make my G5 branch stronger, but I still have to do the mission the marshal gave me."

at the same time.

Sentomaru, pouting, approached Kizaru and said, "Grandpa, would you like to test the power of my Devil Fruit for me?"

Kizaru lazily raised his eyelids. "Forget it, I don't want to play with you."

Sentomaru looked disappointed and was about to turn and leave when Kizaru suddenly kicked him.

Sentomaru was startled and instinctively dodged to the side. At the same time, the golden hair on his back stood up, and with a wave of his arm, a golden light shot towards Kizaru.

Kizaru easily flicked away the golden light with his finger. "Oh, you've got some skills."

"It just so happens that I've also become interested. Let's go to the training ground and give it a try!"

Sentomaru and Kizaru headed towards the training ground, followed by Garp and the others. Even Rorschach and Vegapunk followed behind, as Rorschach wanted to come and take a look, so he came along with Vegapunk.

"And without Rorschach, Vegapunk had no one to talk to, so he naturally followed."

The two stood still, and Sentomaru launched the first attack. He suddenly leaped up, his whole body radiating golden light, and rushed towards Kizaru like a falling meteor.

With a faint smile on his face, Kizaru's body vanished in a beam of light, only to reappear behind Sentomaru a second later, delivering a kick.

Sentomaru reacted extremely quickly, blocking the attack with his golden-haired arm and then counterattacking.

In an instant, the training ground shone brightly, and energy fluctuations rippled everywhere.
