"Crazy idea, but I like it!"
"You can try it. Anyway, as long as the two of us are living, you won't die, so be bold!"
Anyway, as long as Masa from the world of Mahouka and DxD were living, and okay, even if Masa from the world of One Piece died, he would be resurrected!
So, even if Masa's body might explode after eating more than one Devil Fruit, he would be okay.
More importantly, in the case of a failure and he died, then the Jake Jake no Mi might disappear from his body, and his body would return to the original body, the state without a Devil Fruit, so by then, he could search for a better Devil Fruit.
While the cost might be high, as Masa needed to die, it was worth a try!
Yet, there was no doubt that this was something that could only be done by Masa from the world of One Piece, who had died being shot.
He didn't care about dying again since, compared to dying, the feeling of being powerless was even more painful!
Fortunately, Masa from the world of One Piece wasn't alone; he had two Masas from the world of Mahouka and DxD to accompany him.
"Don't forget to have fun! Taking a break is necessary!"
"If you become a World Noble, try to go after Sharlia. Her clothes might be weird, but she is quite cute, I think."
"...let's talk about that later." Masa was speechless by the topic conversation, then said, "Since there are only the three of us, it means I can only eat two more Devil Fruits; which one do you think is better?"
There might be more Masa in this space in the future, but for now, there are only three of them.
"Frankly, it doesn't really matter what kind of Devil Fruit you eat. There are all of us here, and we can discuss together to make a trash Devil Fruit into a frightening Devil Fruit."
"Or rather, can you even eat a good Devil Fruit? All of the best Devil Fruits have been eaten by others, you know?"
Whether it was "Goro Goro no Mi" or "Pika Pika no Mi, and many other famous Devil Fruits were all eaten by others, and there shouldn't be any Devil Fruits that hadn't been eaten except for... if they thought of Masa from One Piece's current timeline, the Devil Fruit that hadn't been eaten according to their memory, it should be "Yami Yami no Mi" and "Sube Sube no Mi."
"Yami Yami no Mi" aside, they couldn't care less about the "Sube Sube no Mi" since all it could do was make them smooth and more handsome, which was something that they didn't need!
Still, the problem was that Masa from One Piece knew nothing about geography, navigation, and sailing!
Masa from the DxD and Mahouka were even more so since neither of them had the need to go to the sea.
Masa from the DxD was a devil who lived in the Underworld, which didn't even have a sea.
On the other hand, as a magician, Masa from the Mahouka wasn't allowed to travel outside of the country, but he had some experience with ships since the Isshiki Family often worked together with the Ichijou Family as the Magician of One to guard the ocean area on the Northern region of Japan such as San'in and Hokuriku regions.
However, in his mind, everything was automatic, using AI and modern technology, which was so much different from the world of One Piece, which still sailed by the power of the wind.
So, the two knew that they couldn't give much help to Masa from One Piece, especially when the geography, weather, and many other things were so much different from their world. They might be able to give a basic and try to learn about tools in the modern world, but that's it; they couldn't give much help except for that.
More importantly, even if they could help him with navigation when Masa arrived at the location, those two Devil Fruits must have been eaten by the original users!
So, at this moment, what could Masa from the world of One Piece do?
"You know what? I think that Jake Jake no Mi is quite similar to a certain Devil Fruit."
"What Devil Fruit?"
"Baku Baku no Mi."
"Baku Baku no Mi!" 2x
Everyone was clear about this Devil Fruit, the fruit that was eaten by Wapol, which allowed him to eat otherwise-inedible objects and then later manifest them from their body.
Frankly, if they thought about it clearly, the Jake Jake no Mi was similar to this Devil Fruit except the fact that while Baku Baku no Mi needed to eat the item, Jake Jake no Mi needed to wear or wrap the item.
Or rather, if Masa wished to, he could turn any item into his jacket.
Then, why did he mention Baku Baku no Mi?
As they had discussed before, every Devil Fruit had limitless potential; if they wished to, they should be able to do it.
In a certain story of One Piece, Wapol could eat his sibling, who had eaten a Devil Fruit, which allowed him to gain the power of his sibling's Devil Fruit, becoming the only character except for Blackbeard, who had eaten two Devil Fruits. Naturally, this wasn't permanent, and as he was defeated by the protagonist, this power was gone.
Yet, this gave Masa a certain possibility. What if he could use Jake Jake no Mi to devour others?
He not only turned those people into his jacket, but he could pull them inside his body, devouring them, whether it was their experiences, abilities, or everything that became his.
"..." 3x
"If so, then there is no need to hold back."
"Yeah, you can get any Devil Fruit if you wish to."
Even if the Devil Fruit that they wished to get was eaten, as long as the user of that Devil Fruit was eaten, they could get it.
While this might be cruel, at this moment, they could imagine themselves devouring those people with high potential in the story to become stronger, yet in this world where the strong have everything, why should they hesitate?
When Masa from the world of One Piece is in despair, who would help him?
No one!
So, while he might not be evil and didn't like to cause trouble, he knew that he had to have power before he could give mercy to others. He was weak at that moment, and he didn't have any leeway to change anything.
Or, rather, all the Masas had a similar problem, and to become stronger, even if they had to become a demon, they had to do it!
The three looked at each other and then made a fist bump together.
"Do your best!" 3x
As they finished their preparations, no one hesitated and made up their minds to help each other, supporting each other to become stronger.
Masa from the world of One Piece also returned to the dirty, dingy alley where he died, yet he remained quiet as he checked his body. He held his head and could tell that the wound on his head had been healed as if nothing had happened.
'What a magical ability.'
Masa marveled, but this also made him happy since it meant that he was immortal in this world!
After all, since there was a Masa from the world of DxD who was a Devil, it meant his age would be the same as a devil, which was as good as immortal!
Yet, before all of that, there was something that he had to do.
His eyes were filled with rage, and the bloodlust was clear from his body, which caused the man who had killed him to become tense, but before the man could do anything, his entire body was wrapped by the jacket, then pulled toward Masa!
"Wh—"
Slap!
Zip
When the man wanted to scream, suddenly, a zipper appeared on his mouth and closed his mouth tightly, which made him unable to scream!
As Masa had eaten the Jake Jake no Mi, it was natural; he could manipulate a certain aspect of a jacket, including a zipper, and he tried it. Fortunately, he succeeded and could do it.
Still, the man's eyes, who had killed him before, appeared in despair. His entire body was wrapped in a jacket, and his mouth was closed tightly by a zipper. While he was a cruel killer before, when death came to him, he appeared meek and begged for mercy with his eyes, hoping for Masa to let go of him.
Masa looked at this man for a moment and appeared to be sorry, which caused the man to feel hope, yet at the same time, he also thought of revenge, killing the naive Masa.
Yet, while Masa appeared to be apologetic, he manipulated his jacket to create a cover at the entrance of the alley so no one would enter, and by then—
Crack!
Masa stomped the man's body rib cruelly, causing the man to release a soundless pain scream as his bone broke and stabbed his lungs, yet this wasn't over since Masa kept stomping the man with all of his might without saying anything, causing the sound of broken bones kept echoed one after other until he realized that the man had died as the head burst open and brain splattered everywhere.
"FUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!"
When everything was finished, Masa shouted all his might after he had his first kill in this world.

See?
The power of the Jake Jake no Mi isn't as bad as you imagine, right?
