Chapter 151: The Empire's First Devil Fruit

Chapter 151: The Empire's First Devil Fruit

A strange laugh escaped from Doflamingo's mouth, "Violet, this strength... You're getting better and better."

"I'm glad you like it, Doflamingo," Violet replied calmly.

Behind Doflamingo's back, out of his sight, her eyes shifted multiple times.

She wanted to kill the enemy in front of her right now... But... She knew she couldn't do it, even if... He had exposed his back to her.

Perhaps this was also a way for the cunning Doflamingo to test her?

Beside them, some of the executives occasionally glanced their way, only turning away once Violet had regained her composure.

"Hahahaha... Doflamingo. I've just received news that we've captured another mermaid. We're preparing to transport her to the Shabondy Archipelago, and I'm sure we'll get a good price for her. Also... This year, the SMILE factory has produced even more Devil Fruits than last year..."

The short Toripol swung his snot and happily reported the family's recent situation to Doflamingo.

"Hahahaha... Artificial Devil Fruits, remember to keep the powerful ones for ourselves and sell the rest to Kaido," Doflamingo said with a laugh as he popped a grape into his mouth.

"Hahahaha... Understood. Don't worry, Doflamingo," Toripol laughed.

"Hahahaha..."

Doflamingo burst out laughing, his mood greatly improved. He placed his hand on Violet's, who was massaging him, preparing to lead the beauty behind him into the house for some exercise.

Just then, a shout rang out, "Donquixote Doflamingo!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the shout, Doflamingo frowned, slightly annoyed. He had just gotten into the mood, and someone dared to disturb him. Were they looking for trouble?

Moreover, who dared to call out his name directly?

He raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed.

Then, his entire body trembled, "Jin! How did you get here?"

"What! This is the Beast Pirates' big signboard, Jin!"

The other family executives also became serious.

Violet, who was massaging Doflamingo, quickly retracted her hand.

In the sky, Jin, wearing black armor and a helmet, slowly descended, stopping fifty meters above the ground. He looked down at Doflamingo with an air of superiority, "Donquixote Doflamingo, how many artificial Devil Fruits did you produce this year?"

"Artificial Devil Fruits...?" Doflamingo's eyes shifted behind his sunglasses, "This year, there are probably ten."

"Ten? Not bad. Notify them immediately and send them to Onigashima. Is that clear?" Jin said.

His tone was flat, a clear command from a superior to a subordinate.

This attitude made Doflamingo even more displeased, but he didn't dare offend Jin, who had the backing of one of the Four Emperors. He forced a smile and said, "Hahahaha... No problem. The price will remain the same."

"The same price, Donquixote Doflamingo.

Have you misunderstood something? I'm not here for a trade this time."

Jin pulled at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm?" Doflamingo's face darkened, and he straightened up.

The other executives nearby also placed their hands on their weapons.

The atmosphere between the two sides became tense.

"Jin! What do you mean by that? Is Kaido planning to break the agreement and double-cross us?" Doflamingo asked.

"Doflamingo.

Listen!

From today onwards, the SMILE factory must supply all the artificial Devil Fruits produced each year to the Beast Pirates for free. Is that clear? This is an order from Mr. Kaido. Do you dare to defy Mr. Kaido?"

"Don't forget that I am now one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..." Doflamingo said with a dark expression.

"So, you're planning to defy Mr. Kaido?"

"Damn it! You Beast Pirates bastards, don't get too arrogant!

The young master is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, protected by the World Government!

Do you really think we're afraid of Kaido?" Baby-5 said angrily, raising her dozen weapons and aiming them at Jin.

As she moved, all the executives also entered a state of readiness.

"Go back, Jin, and tell Kaido.

I will not accept this agreement," Doflamingo finally said.

"Donquixote Doflamingo... It seems you've forgotten the terror of Mr. Kaido and me." Jin said calmly.

Then, the wings on his back ignited with intense flames, instantly turning the sky above him red for hundreds of meters.

Jin then appeared in front of Doflamingo, hand seals flashing as he opened his mouth and shouted, "Fire Style: Great Flame Annihilation!"

Boom!!!

A terrifying wave of heat surged towards Doflamingo's mansion.

"Damn you! How dare you!"

Doflamingo was stunned. He never expected Jin to dare attack them all by himself.

Did Jin really think he was Kaido?

Or did he think he was just a pushover?

Doflamingo angrily slammed his hand on the ground, not holding back at all.

The entire ground turned into countless white lines, surging and protecting everyone in front of them.

Boom!!

The flames exploded on the countless threads.

Doflamingo and the others below couldn't see the sky, only the red, dissolving threads above their heads, their faces filled with anger.

They exchanged glances and quickly dispersed, preparing to counterattack.

But before they could spread out far enough.

Another shout echoed from not far away on the ground:

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Everyone turned their heads to see another Jin, spitting out a mouthful of water.

A huge flood was rushing towards them!

"How is this possible!"

"Damn it! Jin, the so-called Fire Disaster, why can you use water-related abilities!"

"We're done for!"

"Is this an illusion?"

"Who can tell me, what's going on here!"

The executives screamed.

Doflamingo tried to control the threads to block, but it was already too late.

The flood instantly engulfed them.

Most of the Donquixote family were Devil Fruit users, and this flood immediately rendered them powerless, leaving them limp on the ground.

The few who remained couldn't match Jin at all and were easily knocked to the ground by his punches and kicks.

Doflamingo stared in shock as the two Jins walked slowly towards them, looking down at them from above.

"Donquixote Doflamingo, I'll ask you once more, do you... want to rebel against Mr. Kaido?"

"Huff... Huff... Jin, the Fire Disaster... No wonder you dared to come here alone. So... you learned new powers from another world... Does Kaido know you have this ability?"

Doflamingo had finally realized what was happening and asked with a strange laugh, his words filled with a sour taste.

Like the Pirate King, he controlled the powers of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth.

In a world ravaged by Devil Fruits, this power was incredibly useful and powerful.

He had wanted this power for a long time.

But unfortunately, only a few lucky ones had obtained it over the past decade.

And after being exposed, most of these lucky ones were captured or hunted down by the Navy.

Or they went into hiding.

So Doflamingo could only look on with longing.

He never expected... that the first time he saw this miraculous power, it would be because of Jin in front of him. And he never imagined that he would be instantly defeated by this power!

It was like a vast ocean, perfectly countering their abilities!

Doflamingo's heart was filled with bitterness and reluctance.

Violet's eyes shone with a strange light.

She wanted to hear Doflamingo refuse Jin.

"Do you think Mr. Kaido can't do it?" Jin asked.

Doflamingo laughed heartily after hearing this:

"Huff... Huff... You're right, that's Kaido for you! The World Government, the Navy, and Kaido with his new power, this world is getting more and more exciting! Huff... Huff..."

"!"

Jin looked at the laughing Doflamingo, his eyes showing a hint of displeasure.

Didn't this guy hear my question?

"Lightning Style: Thousand Birds!"

Jin waved his hand in annoyance, and lightning needles shot towards Doflamingo, shocking his entire body.

"Answer my question, Doflamingo."

"Huff... Huff... You've won, Jin. I can't resist your power. I'll deliver the fruit to Onigashima."

Doflamingo reluctantly conceded with a strange laugh.

"Hmph... You made a wise choice, Doflamingo."

After saying this, Jin flapped his wings and flew away.

Doflamingo, who made countless people in the great sea fear him as one of the Seven Warlords, was like a helpless chick in Jin's hands.

Violet's eyes sparkled as she watched. If... I could master this power too...

Some time later.

In the Ninja World, the Divine Empire, the Imperial Capital.

The Thousand-Handed Heaven, Imperator Naruto, Sasuke, Shinobi Naruto, Sasuke, and other high-ranking officials, including Orochimaru, Scorpion, and Amado, gathered around a table.

Everyone's gaze fell on the ten or so fruits with strange patterns placed in the center of the table.

"So these are the Devil Fruits? They look so peculiar... But most importantly, I can sense a strange power emanating from them."

Among the crowd, Hyuga Hyuga of the Imperial Hyuga Clan spoke up.

His eyes were wide with surprise.

"Your feeling is correct. The power attached to them seems to be related to the soul."

In the Divine Empire, Sasuke's Rinnegan shone with a purple light.

"So, the so-called Devil Fruit, one of the materials is a soul?"

Empire Scorpion stroked his chin.

"It should be, but we'll need to research it further before making a decision. However, for now... let's take a good look and see if this fruit is as special as the legends say."

Boruto-world Amedo spoke.

"These dozen fruits are the Bear Fruit, Leopard Fruit, Tiger Fruit, Monkey Fruit, and Dog-Dog Fruit...

If anyone is interested in them, you can directly choose one to consume."

Empire Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled.

The Empire's members looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Well, it seems that just the Animal Type Fruits aren't enough to tempt everyone here, so... we need a guinea pig."

Empire Orochimaru smiled.

"So, who will be our guinea pig?" Granny Tsunade asked.

"It's a rare Devil Fruit, so it's not something to be taken lightly.

I heard that the Devil Fruit can also affect animals.

Ninja Beasts' cultivation of martial arts and Dominance Aura is slow due to their different muscle structure, and this might be a way to greatly improve them."

Orochimaru smiled and looked at the representative of the Inuzuka family among the Empire's upper echelon.

"Dr. Orochimaru makes a lot of sense. I'll contact the family right away," the head of the Inuzuka family said, his eyes lighting up.

Soon after, Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World appeared with his beloved dog, Akamaru, before everyone.

"It's you? I thought it would be Kiba from this world," Orochimaru said, a bit surprised.

"I want to catch up with Kiba and serve the Empire, but... with my current progress, this idea is a bit difficult. So... I think consuming the Devil Fruit should be a shortcut."

Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World spoke.

"Woof!" Akamaru, now taller than Kiba's waist, barked.

"It's rare to have this idea. His Majesty and everyone will be proud of you.

Then... Inuzuka Kiba, choose the fruit you want."

Empire Orochimaru pointed to the three best fruits one by one.

"The bear represents strength and defense.

The leopard represents speed and agility.

The tiger is in the middle, not as strong as the bear or as fast as the leopard, but it's known as the Beast King... So, I choose the Tiger Fruit."

Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World said as he slowly approached the Tiger Fruit and picked it up with one hand.

"The Tiger Fruit? It's as I expected. Now, let's begin... and see the wonders of the Devil Fruit from World 3."

Empire Orochimaru said with a hint of anticipation.

The other Empire's upper echelon members became alert, each intently watching Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru.

"Come on, Akamaru! Eat it, and you'll gain immense strength! Then... we'll continue fighting side by side!"

Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World seriously handed the Tiger Fruit to Akamaru's mouth.

"Woof!"

Akamaru barked and swallowed the fruit whole.

Then, on his dog face, he made a face as if he had eaten something foul, hunched over, and started dry heaving.

During this dry heaving, Akamaru's body began to change at a visible rate.

His body slowly inflated, and his originally white fur started to turn orange, with black patterns appearing.

At the same time, his fur became thicker, and his limbs grew more robust.

His canine teeth became thicker, protruding from his mouth, revealing a ferocious beast-like appearance.

"Woof! Growl!"

Akamaru barked again, his voice sounding different.

Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World patted Akamaru's body with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Woof! Growl!"

Akamaru rubbed against Inuzuka Kiba's body.

The other Empire's upper echelon members showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Is this the power of the Devil Fruit? It's incredible..."

"It's amazing how much Akamaru has changed in an instant."

"According to the previous descriptions from World 3, Akamaru should have a transformation state... Kiba! Have Akamaru transform, so we can observe the current Akamaru more closely."

"Okay!"

Inuzuka Kiba from the Ninja World responded and looked at Akamaru again.

"Woof! Growl!"

Akamaru barked.

A low, rumbling growl came from his mouth.

Then his body inflated again, rapidly growing from a height of just 1.8 meters to 3 meters. His fur also increased significantly, his tail became longer and thicker, and a 'King' character appeared on his forehead. At the same time, claws emerged from his four paws, and with a slight movement, he scratched the stone slabs on the ground, leaving marks.
