"This Mimic-Mimic Fruit… it lets the user take on someone else's appearance?" Black Widow asked calmly, her finger pointing at the fruit's entry in the catalog as she looked up at Rosh.
If this fruit truly granted such powers, wouldn't it effectively make her a second Mystique? For a spy like her, this ability would be invaluable.
Rosh couldn't help but chuckle internally. 'Of course, Black Widow would choose the Mimic-Mimic Fruit. It's perfect for her.' Outwardly, he kept a straight face as he explained.
"Yes, exactly; the Mimic-Mimic Fruit, as the name suggests, allows perfect mimicry of another person," Rosh explained, mentally adjusting to her calculated interest.
"This mimicry is comprehensive. You can replicate every detail of the target: appearance, voice, movements, expressions—everything. Even the target's closest acquaintances would be unable to tell the difference."
A gleam of excitement lit up in Black Widow's eyes. This fruit was precisely what she'd been hoping for, ticking all the right boxes.
"Every detail, a perfect match?" she confirmed, pondering momentarily before adding, "And what about… gender? Say I wanted to mimic someone of the opposite sex. I mean, it's not just about facial features—there's a whole physiological structure to consider. I know this might sound a bit… extreme, but I need to understand the fruit's limitations."
"I understand," Rosh assured her, nodding. "But when I say 'perfect mimicry,' I mean just that. It's like a transformation technique. It's not only about the face; it's complete, right down to the physical structure."
Black Widow's expression grew more determined, her eyes gleaming. If this transformation worked across genders without flaw, she could effectively disguise herself as a man or woman with total authenticity. This would eliminate those awkward movie scenes where an undercover agent's disguise is blown by something as trivial as using the wrong bathroom or avoiding certain social situations. Here, she would truly *become* the person she mimicked in every sense.
"This fruit doesn't just replicate appearances," Rosh continued, "it also stores memories of previous transformations. So, if the user has mimicked someone once, they can easily return to that disguise ten, twenty, even a hundred years later without forgetting any details."
This ability intrigued Black Widow even more. Her satisfaction with the Mimic-Mimic Fruit was growing by the second.
"So, is there a time limit to the transformation?" she asked after some thought, pressing for critical information.
"No time limit at all," Rosh confirmed. "If you wanted, you could live your entire life as someone else." A perfect mimicry without any expiration meant she could genuinely become someone else as long as she chose.
"And what about the minimum limit? Could I switch appearances in just one second?" Black Widow continued, her mind calculating how this could aid her in rapid infiltration or adapting to dynamic situations.
"No limits there either," Rosh replied confidently. "With enough practice, a user could change faces even faster if necessary."
Black Widow nodded, feeling a deep satisfaction. The idea of instantaneous transformation held enormous potential for her line of work.
"Beyond this, the Mimic-Mimic Fruit allows the user to mimic certain skills and abilities of their target," Rosh added, offering further insight.
"For instance, if the user mimics a kung fu master, they can replicate the master's fighting techniques, style, and skill level. The same applies if the target is an expert archer—the user would gain their archery skills, even if they knew nothing about archery before."
"You mean… it can even mimic skills?" Black Widow's eyes widened in astonishment. Even she couldn't hide her surprise. A fruit like this would allow near-perfect replication on a whole new level.
"Yes, though this power has certain limitations," Rosh noted. "It's restricted to basic skills. Overly complex abilities might be beyond reach."
"Complex abilities?" she pressed, needing more clarity. "Could you be more specific?"
"It varies with each user. Some might mimic advanced martial arts techniques, while others can only replicate simpler skills. The extent depends on the user's proficiency and experience," he explained.
Black Widow nodded in understanding, mentally filing away this information. For her, the Mimic-Mimic Fruit already offered more than enough capability.
"Alright, then, Shopkeeper, may I try the sample you offer?" Black Widow requested after a brief pause.
"Of course." Rosh promptly handed her a sample of the Mimic-Mimic Fruit.
She took a small bite, her face contorting at the taste. "Wow, Devil Fruits really have a... unique flavor," she muttered, suppressing a shudder. She hadn't expected it to taste so revolting, almost gagging on it.
But then, as the fruit's power activated, her face lit up in surprise and excitement.
