Twenty minutes earlier in the Rose Palace.
Two people stand in front of the Minister of the Rose and Hyasinth.
Rosedon: I'm glad you both arrived safely in our humble little town.
Mr.5: Stop your drama, we are coming to get the money for our boss.
Rosedon: It's all in the suitcase that's on the table next to you.
Mr.5: Do I have to count the money first or is it matching? I don't feel like having to appear here again!
Hyasinth: Everything has been counted twice, so there should be no reason for you to to appear here again in our little town.
Miss Valentine: Kyahahaha! It's a shame, I would have liked to punish someone.
Mr.5: Do you always have to be so loud? I really can't stand your laughter.
Miss Valentine: Don't always be so explosive Mr.5!
Mr.5 went to the suitcase and took it in his hand and then walked up to Rosedon and placed his finger on his chest.
Mr.5: The boss wants to have double the amount of money in the next month, do you understand that?
Rosedon replied with sweat on his brow, "Yes, I understand sir!"
The next moment a guard ran into the room and saluted to Rosedon.
Guard: We are currently under attack by rebels, they have taken over the Steel Rose Gate and are currently freeing slaves throughout the city!
Hyasinth: Then why are you still here, activate the alarm and try to eliminate them!
Mr.5: Sounds like you still get your chance to kill a few people, Miss Valentine.
Miss Valentine: Kyahahaha and I thought today would be boring again.
The two left the room with a laugh and Rosedon looked at Hyasinth.
Rosedon: Get these rebels under control or I'll hold you responsible for this.
Hyasinth: Got it, I'll take care of them, boss.
Rosedon: No, catch them alive and take them to the mine! You heard that this Mr. 0 wants the double amount of money from us next month.
Hyasinth: I'll take care of it.
Hyasinth ran out of the room towards the city.
Rosedon: Damn townspeople, now of all times they're trying to rebel.
Our prison cell was surrounded by soldiers and they all were pointing their swords at us.
Biburo: That doesn't look good for us.
Peter: Leave the guards to me, mother!Hyasinth is the only one who can defeat me here.
Peter transformed into his frog-human hybrid form, he was now 8 feet tall and had massive muscles all over his body, but especially his legs. He leaned on the ground with his frog hands and shouted, "Frog Blossom Cannon Kick!"
He jumped off with his legs and flew towards the guards like a cannon, just before he hit them, he spint himself in the air and kicked the first two guards square in their face with his feet. The armor of the two guards shattered and both of them lay unconscious on the ground with blossoms that flowered out of their faces, but Peter didn't stop, he landed on the ground and pushed himself off the ground again with his right frog leg and said: "King vertebrae".
His body began to rotate and he kicked the remaining guards into a mass with his left leg and threw them down from the Crown Blossom into the lower inner Rose City and then transformed back into his human form.
Wallace: How come he could change back now and that without a kiss?
Terra ran up to him and punched him in the face.
Peter: Ouch, why did my beloved beauty punch me?
Terra: You could transform back without a kiss, you lousy liar!
Peter: It's not..., okay, you saw through my lie, but I just wanted the kiss to see if a woman could love me as a frog.
This repulsive frog shape is a part of me and before you there was no other woman who kissed me in my frog shape. You are the only one who has completely accepted me, so please forgive me for my lie, you are my goddess of beauty after all.
Terra blushed and no longer knew how to react to this audacity and simply turned around and ignored what Peter said.
Biburo: And why were you in the hole?
Peter: It's more comfortable in there than sleeping on the floor and there was no point in escaping, I've tried many times, but for some reason Hyasinth has stronger armor than the other guards. I couldn't defeat him that way, otherwise I would have escaped years ago.
Dia: Whatever, let's free the remaining slaves and then we can wait for Sabo in the orphanage outside the inner Rose City.
Everyone nodded and we began to open the other prison cells and free the slaves, but after a few minutes two figures came up to us and saw the unconscious guards lying on the ground in front of us.
Miss Valentine: Looks like we have already found some of the rebels, Mr.5!
Mr.5: I know this one from a wanted poster, she was in our bar today and killed some of our people.
Miss Valentine: Then I guess we both get a bonus today, Kyahahaha.
Mr.5 drilled with his finger in his nose and then said "booger bomb" and flicked one of his boogers in my direction. I didn't react to the booger and let it fly through my smoke body and it then exploded on the ground about 20 m behind me.
BOOOMMM!
Both agents widened their eyes at the same time.
Mr.5: Those idiots in the bar didn't say anything about a Logia power, I think we have a problem here.
I smiled at both of them and raised my hands: "Kage Yose no Jutsu!", my shadow jumped from my feet to the two of them and then wrapped itself around their bodies and fixed both of them on the ground and made them unable to move.
Mr.5: What is that, why is your shadow surrounding us, you ate a Logia Devil Fruit?
I walked up to the two of them and whispered in their ears: "Did I really eat a Logia Devil Fruit? It dosen't matter, you will now be my new guinea pigs.
Miss Valentine: No, please don't, we were just kidding, we didn't mean to attack you! Please spare us!
I created two apples in my hands and then summoned the King of Hell from my Naraka Path. The King of Hell opened It's mouth and Mr.5 and Miss Valentine's tongues were pulled out of their mouths by him. The two of them saw the head of the King of Hell floating behind me as he pulled their tongues out of their bodies and they both started crying and even peed themselves out of fear for me.
The king separated two souls from their bodies and I then allowed these souls to enter the apples in my hands. The King of Hell released the two of them again and they both lay unconscious on the ground and the two apples in my hands turned into devil fruits. One apple became black with a wavy pattern and grew a fuse as a stem and the other became pink and cylindrical with a wavy pattern and grew a thick T-shaped stem.
Wallace: Dia, what did you do with them both?
Dia: I stole their devil fruit powers and now they're both unconscious, but they are alive.
Oliver: So you can get devil fruits without killing the user?
Dia: Yes, but I don't yet know what side effects it has on the body.
Wallace: Your abilities are becoming more and more strange, I've never heard of anyone being able to extract a devil fruit from another person, how did you do that?
Dia: I removed the souls of the devil fruits from their bodies and then put them into two apples. I also discovered that devil fruits function in the body in a similar way as bijuu do, except they don't have a mind of their own.
Everyone looked at me with questioning looks.
Dafne: What is a Bijuu?
Dia: This is a creature that is made of chakra and is intelligent and has a will to shape itself and is reborn after It's death, just like a devil fruit, except that a devil fruit cannot think for itself.
Dafne: I don't understand a word.
Dia: Dosen't matter, the devil fruit in my left hand can solve your recoil problem.
Dafne: Really, and how exactly does she do that?
Dia: With its help you can increase your body weight up to 10,000 kg or reduce it to 0.01 kg, its name is the kilo kilo fruit.
I placed the fruit in Dafne's hand and she hesitated for a moment before biting into it, but recognized the fruit's potential and devoured it shortly after.
Dafne took a bite of the devil fruit and her face became white.
Dafne: That's disgusting, the fruit tastes like shit!
Oliver: Taking a bite isn't enough Dafne, you should eat the whole fruit.
Dafne: Really, I have to eat everything from it?
Wallace: What about the other fruit, can I eat it?
Dia: If you eat this fruit you can cause explosions with any part of your body, do you want to eat the fruit?
Wallace didn't think twice before grabbing the fruit from my hand and devoured it in one bite.
Wallace: It really tastes like shit!
Terra: And are you both feeling different now or other than usual?
Dafne: I feel lighter, but I can hardly notice any difference.
I walked over to Dafne, picked her up and threw her in the air and she slowly glided around.
Dafne: I'm flying... but how do I get back down? Help me!
Dia: Just think to be heavier again.
Dafne: Ok, I'll try!
Dafne imagined herself becoming heavier again and the next moment she flew down to the ground like a stone in front of me and a small crater formed on the steel rose under her feet as she hit the ground.
Terra: That looked dangerous, the ground was bulging.
Dafne: And it didn't hurt me at all, even though I fell from so high up.
Dia: Then Wallace is next. Just hit one of the cellsdoors that we have not opened yet.
Wallace stepped in front of a cell door and as soon as his punch touched the cell door, an explosion occurred that knocked the door from its anchorage and blew it into pieces.
Wallace looked proudly at his work and began posing with his muscles.
Oliver: Wow, now Wallace is finally strong enough for our crew!
Wallace: What do you mean, was I not strong enough before?
Dia: No, Oliver certainly didn't mean it like that, right Oliver?
I winked at Oliver unnoticed as I said this.
Oliver: No, I just think you're just as strong as Lenny now.
Wallace: Didn't you see the explosion correctly, I'm now 10 times stronger than him?
Dafne: I think he can still kick your ass.
Wallace: Then we'll make a bet and if I can defeat Lenny, then I'll become vice captain of the ship.
Dafne: And what if you lose?
Dia: If he loses, he'll have to become my personal butler for a week!
Wallace: I'll take the bet, I'll finish off Lenny and then become our vice captain.
Oliver came to me and whispered in my ear.
Oliver: Wasn't he already your second man?
I winked at Oliver with a smile and whispered in his ear.
Dia: He probably thought he was too weak and didn't understand that it wasn't necessarily about physical strength.
Terra: What do we do with these two now?
Dia: We'll just put them in one of the prison cells, but search their bags first, I bet they have valuables with them.
Meanwhile in the city with Sabo, Koala and Lindbergh.
Sabo: More and more soldiers are coming, but they are weak, we can do it.
Koala: I don't know if I can stand in this fight much longer, my fishman karate doesn't help me much against these soldiers, their armor is really annoying!
Sabo: If you can't take it anymore then withdraw, me and Lindbergh can fight them alone, right Lindbergh?
Lindbergh: My weapons haven't even warmed up yet, I can still fight for days.
Suddenly the slaves that we freed from the cells came from behind the soldiers and attacked the soldiers from behind.
Sabo: They must be slaves from the prison, I guess Dia freed them. I'm trying to break through their defense line, back me up!
Koala: Let's do it!
Sabo took his quarterstaff and enhanced it with Haki.
Sabo: "Dragon Claw Stigma!"
He hit a soldier's breastplate with the tip of the quarterstaff, and the soldier's armor and all the troops behind the soldier were destroyed and flew stacked together through the entire defensive line of the city guards.
Sabo ran over the grounded troops and led the freed slaves to the rebels and then gave them weapons from already overwhelmed soldiers and then ran back to the urban warfare. When he got back to the fight he saw Lindbergh lying unconscious on the ground and a soldier in blue armor standing over him.
Sabo ran to the soldier and strengthened his fist with Haki and swung a punch at him.
Hyasinth saw Sabo running towards him and held his blue steel rose sword in front of himself to block Sabo's punch.
Hyasinth blocked Sabo's punch and was pushed back 2m and when he had stabilized again, he ran towards Sabo with his sword and Sabo was just able to block his slash at the last moment with his Haki, but he couldn't completely absorb the slash and was knocked through the pollen wall of one of the houses.
Sabo emerged from the pollen rubble bleeding from his head and one of his ribs was broken.
Sabo: Your blue armor can take a lot of damage!
Hyasinth: Save your compliments, you will work in our mine from tomorrow and I will make your day a pleasant one every day.
Sabo: Luckily I have my memories back, yesterday this might have happened, but today I can use all of my abilities, so I have to disappoint you for this.
Sabo ran towards Hyasinth, but he was knocked back by him again.
Hyasinth: That's all you can do?
Sabo started to smile and the next moment he went poof and only a cloud of white smoke remained in his place and when Hyasinth noticed that Sabo was already behind him, it was already too late for him and Sabo pierced his head with his Haki hardened quarterstaff and then both of them fell to the ground.
Koala ran to Sabo and helped him to stand up again, but Sabo told her, "Take care of Lindbergh first, I'll be fine."
Koala released Sabo and took Lindbergh to the medical department where Cornelius was waiting for the injured.
