In a quiet forest at night, there were pirates holding a flaming torch walking through the terrain in search of a forbidden treasure. Where they are, there is the stormy blowing of the rain, as their hair and clothes became wet from it. But the tall leaves from the jungle blocks away most of the rain, so it doesn't diminish the light of their flames.
"Captain, are you sure the fruit is here?"
"It is. The map says there should be in an area where the moonlight shines through," a husky voice called out again. "Start digging!"
The captain looks at the spot of snow-white moonlight shining in the middle of the grim darkness of the terrain. The men with their equipments gather around the spot and started digging around the spot. And the sound of the rain became the background that blocks out any rustling of the leaves.
Soon they dug a large hole deep around to stack the entire team inside, and in there was a tiny box that lays in wait for them. It is actually an interesting question to consider how the fruit survived for so long under where there was no oxygen. He rushed down there with care and picked the box up with excitement rushing through his eyes.
"I've finally found it haha," the captain's crazy sound echoing in that confined space underneath. "I've finally found the Pressure-Pressure Fruit!" While he was still in his craze, a sharp arrow shot into his neck before he could realize it.
He could no longer speak anymore as the blood gushes out of the spot, and when he turned around, he saw it was his men with a greedy smile on their faces. Except, when they are smiling so widely, it reveals their toothless state. And when they saw their captain finally laying dead on the dirt with his eyes wide open in shock, they finally had the courage to go down to fetch the treasure box.
"We finally got that guy," a man said to his buddies, and slowly with his fingers he picked open the lock on the box to find the sight of a white moonlight devil fruit with curling marking. "The devil fruit he has been searching for all that time finally landed in our hands."
"Now we will really get rich, hahaha!"
"Oh yes, and now that we need to do is get rich."
"And now all I need to do is kill the rest of you here to keep it for myself."
"Jim, what are you doing? Put the gun down!!" The person who was holding the devil fruit in his hand felt the pull of the trigger behind his back, and then his entire consciousness shuddered as the bullet blew his brain into pieces.
"As for the rest of you," the person with a scarf covering his face said, "don't you guys feel that your body is getting lighter and your leg turning numb?"
"I guess the effects are taking slower to take effect, Vincent," Orpheus, who was also wearing a disguise, said. "Might as well kill all of them now."
"Hurry, Orpheus," Vincent takes off the scarf that covers his face. He takes steps out of the forest and retraces his steps out of the jungle to the pirate ship. Removing his sword from the scabbard and walking in a deathly silence.
A man that was waiting for the return of the captain and his team looked up from the ground when he saw someone exiting from the forest. Yet what awaits him was the sharp blade that cuts right through his face. And before any of the lower weaklings could even react fast enough, Vincent had already covered the ground like a cat shifting between them. Blood shedding with each of his steps.
And as soon as he cut down the last enemy standing in his way, he collapsed kneeling onto the ground. Supporting himself with his sword, cutting into the sand as he feels himself want to regurgitate the things inside of him. This is his first time ever slaughtering so many men, and getting the taste of revenge.
"You did well," a hand patted down on his head. Vincent looked up to see a cloaked figure smiling at him with warmth. "So, how does it feel, finally getting your revenge?" Leo looked around at the corpses that lie lifeless on the ground. Orpheus also came over and put his hand on Vincent's shoulder and helps him stand back up again.
"It's a strange feeling," Vincent mumbles to himself. "It doesn't actually feel as satisfying as I thought it would be to cut down my enemies." The onslaught may be what he wished for, but it still feels strange cutting down these men.
"Don't dwell on it too much," Leo said to him. He looked up at the thunderous sky above him, with the rain drizzling on his face. "I guess it is time for me to go now too."
"Before you go, please take this with you Master," Orpheus takes the white fruit and hands it to Leo, saying "I think it is the most appropriate gift we can give you for helping us seek revenge."
He smiled, seeing the two of them looking at him with a bittersweet smile on their faces, "I'll miss you two, and all the children. But I guess it is time to go."
He feels the fruit in his hand, and a screen pops up in front of his face.
[Do you wish to absorb the devil fruit as your power?]
[Yes] [No]
Without hesitation, he clicks on the Yes button, and then a surge of power emerges throughout his body as the fruit slowly dries and turns into sand in the air.

He takes his sword out and by using the fruit ability, there comes a white transparent like energy to envelopes the edge of the blade. Using his swordsmanship, he draws countless blades into the sky. In that instant, the entire sky has a changed. The clouds dissipated to reveal the clear sky before it was the warm sun shining on the island again.
'So this is what it means to feel near-invincible?' He says to himself with a self-depreciating smiling. "I now understand how Saitama feels."
