BOOM!
Huge waves surged under Rosse's feet, with the rolling sea water tumbling outward.
"So strong a presence… is this Conqueror's Haki…", Gion's expression changed slightly. She picked up the stunned Stella caused by Rosse's shockwave and instantly appeared at a high point.
Normal Conqueror's Haki barely affected her, but the Conqueror's Haki that had unknowingly burst out when Rosse ate the fruit made even her feel sowhat intimidated.
Either Rosse's Conqueror's Haki was extrely strong, or this fruit enhanced Conqueror's Haki.
Whichever it was, it ant this fruit was terrifying.
Rosse's transformation continued, his aura steadily climbing, but Gion could see that Rosse's condition remained stable, and there wouldn't be any major problems.
That reassured her slightly.
This fruit was much stronger than the Mythical Zoan she had eaten.
"Purupurupuru!"
The sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out. Gion followed the sound and pulled it out from Stella's chest, "This is Gion."
["This is Zannie. How is His Highness? A hundred-ter giant wave suddenly surged outside the island. The entire island has been sealed off,"] Zannie said in a low voice.
"Saint Rosse just consud the fruit. He is currently in the adaptation phase. Everything is in good condition."
Gion glanced at Rosse and gave her assessnt.
She hadn't seen how the others looked when they ate their fruits, but looking at Rosse now, who seed like a god incarnate, he didn't seem like soone with any problems.
["Alright, Zephyr and I will rush over imdiately. Thank you."]
Zannie hung up the call quickly. Now that Rosse had suddenly eaten the fruit, of course, they had to check on the situation.
Gion put the slightly drained Den Den Mushi back in its place, her eyes fixed intently on Rosse.
Rosse's transformation lasted for a full hour. By the ti Zephyr and Zannie arrived, he was still in a state of ntal absence.
"Looks like a Mythical Zoan fruit awakening, but I've never seen a fruit that awakens imdiately upon being eaten," Zephyr observed Rosse and frowned, giving his conclusion.
His opinion was similar to Gion's. Rosse was not in any danger and was currently resonating with the fruit's power.
"Other fruits usually grant corresponding abilities upon being eaten, and you develop them gradually. The fruit Saint Rosse ate seems to co with overwhelming power by default, imdiately forming combat capability after consumption," Zephyr mused.
"Then once this transformation is over, will Saint Rosse be as strong as Teacher Zephyr?", Gion asked curiously.
"Hard to say. So fruits imdiately give ordinary people great power after consumption. The one Saint Rosse ate belongs to this category. But such fruits often have side effects or limits. This fruit's side effects might be trendous. Perhaps after eating it, he really can reach Admiral-level strength," Zephyr speculated.
Although he had never seen a fruit that lets soone instantly ascend to Admiral level after eating it, he also had never seen a fruit that could control seawater.
If he had been present, he probably would've advised Rosse to think carefully, and preferably choose another fruit.
Now that Rosse had eaten it and no obvious problems appeared, he could only be inwardly shocked.
Buzz!
A stream of seawater swirled from Rosse's location and radiated out in all directions.
Seeing this, Gion and the others' expressions shifted slightly, and they quickly lowered themselves.
BOOM!
High-pressure seawater blasted into the cliff wall, shaking the entire mountain. In so places, sunlight even pierced through.
"Saint Rosse," Zephyr imdiately noticed Rosse had recovered and called out to him.
"Zephyr, I'm fine," Rosse gently shook his head. His body was propelled forward by the seawater below, quickly floating to Zephyr's position.
This ti, he had hit the jackpot.
"Let's leave first. Gion, co test the ability with . Zannie, have soone repair this place," Rosse said.
""No problem,"" Zannie and Gion responded decisively.
Seeing Rosse unhard, Zephyr also left reassured.
As for the fruit's abilities, he wasn't too interested. As everyone knew, he had little interest in Devil Fruits.
No matter how powerful Rosse's seawater manipulation was, to a fruitless physical powerhouse like him, it wasn't that useful.
After Gion handed Stella over to Zannie, she followed Rosse out of the sacrificial site and arrived at a deserted seashore.
Since Rosse could now control the fruit's ability on his own, the currents surrounding Jaygarcia Island also settled, and peace was restored around the island.
———
"Saint Rosse, how should we test this?"
Gion was a little eager. She had seen the scene of Rosse eating the fruit. It was the first ti she had seen such a massive display from eating a fruit.
One could imagine how powerful this fruit was.
When she ate the Vampire Fruit, there had been no such commotion.
"I'll only use the fruit's ability. You attack with full strength as much as you can," Rosse nodded slightly at Gion. After eating the fruit, his strength had undergone an earth-shaking change.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Rosse]
[Strength: 1.24 million / 2 million (A-, Shichibukai(Warlord) level)]
[Fruit: Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical Zoan, Watatsumi form (Not awakened)]
[Fruit abilities: Levitation (flight), Ocean Manipulation (control seawater), Hearing the Sea (seawater sensing), Sea Blessing (seawater restores stamina), Heaven's Fall (generates seawater), Transformation (Mythical Beast form)...]
[Combat skills: Observation Haki (S), Conqueror's Haki (A), Armant Haki (A), Supre King's Slash, Swordsmanship (C), Gun Technique (D), Physical Technique (C)...]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The Mythical Zoan brought Rosse an all-around enhancent, most notably his physical ability skyrocketing to Shichibukai-level standards.
Next, his Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki had significantly improved.
The Conqueror's Haki increased slightly, while the Observation Haki, due to the Hearing the Sea ability, was boosted to S level.
Rosse's original abilities had been amplified tenfold or more.
It's no exaggeration to say, even though the fruit hadn't awakened yet, he was confident he could go toe-to-toe with an Admiral at sea.
Though he might not be able to defeat them, with Sea Blessing constantly restoring his stamina through seawater, an Admiral wouldn't be able to defeat him either.
"Saint Rosse, here I co," Gion drew a fine quality blade obtained from the other world at her waist, twisted her wrist, and a pinkish-red flying slash cut through the air, flying straight at Rosse.
She had already mastered flying slashes before, but each slash consud too much stamina, so she rarely used it in real combat.
After gaining the Vampire Fruit, stamina was no longer her shackle.
"Bring it on," Rosse smiled lightly and extended his long hand forward.
In an instant, a large amount of seawater appeared in front of him, converging into a two-ter wide, one-ter thick water curtain shield.
SPLASH!
Just as the water curtain ford, the flying slash struck it.
Gion's flying slash was strong enough to easily cut through a Navy warship.
But when the pinkish-red light hit the water curtain, it was like striking an unbreakable wall. Water splashed everywhere, forming a misty haze in the air.
In the end, Rosse's water curtain shield didn't budge an inch. The flying slash only pierced half a ter before completely collapsing.
Gion stared at the water curtain and the relaxed Rosse behind it. A hint of competitiveness flashed in her eyes.
"I'm going all out now, Saint Rosse," Before she even finished speaking, Gion's body suddenly changed. Her vampire hybrid form activated instantly. A pair of large wings unfolded violently behind her, flapping up a gust of wind as she shot toward Rosse like lightning.
