Jackson and I waited out in the cave for around an hour before the thirty bandits returned.
"Just get in the fucking cave!" A man who I assumed to be a bandit shouted.
"Mama! Papa! Help me!" A young child's voice cried out.
"Inka! Just stay calm... it'll all be alright" A calm masculine voice rang out.
"O-okay papa..." The child, Inka said before going quiet.
"Hey, where's Dave and Tom? Aren't they supposed to be standing guard?" One of the bandits asked another.
"Eh, they're probably playin' poker with the others" The other bandit answered.
The bandits walked into the cave, looking around for their dead comrades.
"Now" I whispered to Jackson, as he grew to ten times his size and... enveloped ten of the bandits.
This was a technique of the Jacket Jacket Fruit that Jackson showed me, he could turn into a jacket and increase his size to completely absorb people into himself, giving him the power-up he would usually give others.
"Jakakakat! Now! Feel the power of ten men!" Jackson shouted out to the remaining twenty bandits before he utterly demolished eighteen of them, the only two to survive were the two [1 Star] bandits, but even they didn't get away unscathed.
One of the two [1 Star] bandits was missing an arm, while the other had a large gash across his torso.
"Gah! Devil Fruit user! Hans let's take this bastard out!" One of the bandits shouted out as he charged Jackson with a large hammer made of steel.
"Got it, Karl!" Hans shouted out as he also charged at Jackson with a large battle-ax, also made of steel.
They both hit Jackson, Karl crushing his head with his hammer and Hans slicing at his neck with his battle-ax.
Jackson didn't even flinch and knocked them to the ground.
"Jakakakat, did you really think that would do anything? Now! Get inside of me! Jakakakat!" Jackson shouted, as he turned into a large jacket again and enveloped Hans and Karl, adding their strength onto his own.
"Now... to go free the slaves," I said, as I walked out of the cave to see five people in chains.
"W-who are you?" A small girl, presumedly Inka asked.
"Well... we're your saviors," I said with a grin creeping along my face.
"We?" Inka asked as she looked around for anyone else.
"Jakakakat, yes. We" Jackson said from behind her, startling the small girl.
"Wah!" She exclaimed as she fell to the ground in shock.
"Now... let's get these pesky chains off of you," I said with a kind smile as I unlocked the chains using a key I took from one of the bandits.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!, You don't know how much this means to us... thank you!" A large... and I mean large man said... I mean, look at the guy, he's like nine-feet-tall and has bulging muscles all over his body, he looks like he'd knock me out with a flick!
"I-it's alright. Just doing what anyone would if given the chance" I said, slightly intimidated by the man. Cut me some slack, I'm ten-years-old!
"Still... thank you for freeing us... you can have this. It's been in my family for generations, but we were too scared to eat it since the last one to eat it lived a life of misery and misfortune" The man said as he handed me a fruit.
It was a black, and I mean pitch black grape with deep purple swirls all around it.
'I wonder what sort of Devil Fruit this is since it's obviously a Devil Fruit...' I thought to myself before screens popped up in my face.
