Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

Hearing Jerry's question, Deuce and several other people without fruit abilities looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zeus looked around and saw no one answered, so he asked curiously, "Isn't that fruit called a failure by Caesar and his gang? Can it really be eaten?"

Today, Zeus is a true scholar. In addition to his profound medical attainments, his knowledge covers a wide range of fields.

But unfortunately, he is still completely in the dark when it comes to artificial devil fruits and knows very little about them.

"They are not the manufacturers, and they don't have that ability. They just follow what others say when they hear others say it is a failure." Jerry shook his head slightly and stated calmly.

Hearing this, Deus was still full of doubt: "Really? You speak as if you are very knowledgeable in this area. I know that if it is really a failure, there will be side effects if I eat it."

Noticing that everyone nodded solemnly in agreement with what Deuce said, Jerry rolled his eyes helplessly.

Because of this, when the fruit was obtained, no one wanted to eat it, so Jerry kept it.

Jerry patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have a feeling this is definitely a powerful devil fruit."

Jerry couldn't explain why he knew this devil fruit was edible, so he could only be vague and start talking nonsense.

After these days of debates at mealtimes, Jerry was able to dispel the doubts of Zeus and others, making them begin to take the fruit seriously and seriously consider who should eat it.

After a brief war of words between the discussion team, led by Deus, Skarl, Kalina and Garrot, they still could not come to a conclusion.

Faced with this situation, Jerry shrugged: "If you guys don't want to eat it, then I'll consider using it as bait."

Jerry certainly knew that he was holding a powerful fruit, but he also understood that everyone had their own ideas and choices, and he would not force anyone to accept this devil fruit.

After all, some people have no interest in devil fruits.

So, if there really was no one to eat it, he would rather throw it into the sea to hear the sound, or make it into bait for fish, rather than leave it there to be eaten by some dead kid who had not yet traveled through time.

At this time, Scar stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Boss Deus, why don't you eat it? Since Boss Jerry keeps saying it is a powerful fruit, it is very suitable for you."

Before Deuce could respond, Jerry nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, let me translate. What Scar meant was that Deuce, you are too weak. Hurry up and improve yourself!"

"Skarr?" Deuce narrowed his eyes and glanced at Skarr.

Scar's originally firm nodding motion suddenly froze, then he held his head high, stretched out his arms and clenched them into fists, with a smug look on his face: "Boss Deuce, don't be unconvinced, Boss Jerry's words are rough but true, I have mastered the Armament Haki, and you don't, oh hahaha!"

Looking at the Armament Haki that Scar was barely displaying, Deuce secretly gritted his teeth, but said calmly on the surface: "I think you are itching for trouble, right?"

Then, the two of them started fighting each other over a disagreement.

Finally, Deuce sighed and slowly walked towards Jerry.

"Here you go!" Deus reached out and grabbed the devil fruit, then began a psychological struggle to overcome his taste system.

Jerry scratched his head, turned to Kalina and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to try it? Maybe it's more suitable for you?"

Kalina shook her head gently, stroking Kodaz's back, and responded, "No need. Kodaz and I work well together, so it doesn't matter whether I eat it or not. Besides, after eating the devil fruit, I can't go into the sea, so how can I go treasure hunting?"

"Okay, if everyone has no objection, Deus, just eat this lump of bread."

Jerry's sudden words reminded Zeus of the "delicious" taste of the Flame-Flame Fruit he once tasted.

Then, Deus had an idea, and he pulled out the short knife he carried with him, diced the fruit in his hand in a few strokes, quickly picked up a small piece and put it into his mouth, swallowing it raw without hesitation.

Seeing this, Jerry stroked his chin and said seriously, "Maybe this is the result of Oli Gei's experience."

Deus, who was applauding his own actions in his heart and feeling smug, suddenly stopped.

His eyes suddenly widened, and the words of rebuttal that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

"Oh? It's deformed? What kind of animal fruit is this?" Cavendish said with interest.

Everyone was watching Deus, who was squatting on the ground and whose body was changing shape.

"See, all men are transformed from eels." Jerry spread his hands.

"It's a dragon!" Brook exclaimed first after a moment. The scene before him seemed to evoke his memories of the dragon-slaying warrior Ryuma whom he had met before.

Garrot followed suit and shouted loudly: "It's pink!"

"From this perspective, she's quite pretty... eccentric!" Kalina was about to give a compliment, but changed her tone and decided to describe it truthfully based on her own impressions.

Scar blinked and guessed casually, "So, why is it pink? Could it be that Boss Deuce's girlish heart has exploded?"

"It's not impossible. Don't look at Zeus like this. Maybe his original purpose of studying medicine was to undergo sex change! Kodaz, am I right?" Jerry agreed seriously and democratically sought his partner's approval.

"Meow!" Kodaz responded immediately.

"See, Kodaz also thinks what I said is brilliant, so..."

Before Jerry could finish his nonsense, a tiny pink dragon swooped over.

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't think you can make up stories about me when I don't have time to refute you, or I'll sue you for defamation!" The dragon's body flew into the air, with its head facing his face, but its mouth made a sound like Deuce while moving.

……

The next morning, the news bird spread its wings on time, bringing the latest news reports from all over the world.

Although there were many rumors yesterday, it was not until the newspaper officially disclosed the incident that people finally became convinced and understood the whole story of the Dressrosa incident.

"Chain reaction!? The connection between Punk Hazard and Dressrosa."

"What are the drawbacks of the Shichibukai system? Is Doflamingo's attempt to seize the throne an overstep of authority?"

"The citizens of Dressrosa..."

On this day, various topics about Dressrosa captured people's attention.

In the final analysis, from civilians and merchants to nobles of some small countries, pirates and other different classes and professions, there were people who were secretly manipulated for various reasons when they lived or passed through Dressrosa, turned into toys, and silently endured years of pain before they were able to see the light of day again.

When the people who recovered from their doll bodies learned that they were rescued by a pirate group, they silently memorized the names of Jerry and others in their hearts, hoping to express their gratitude one day.

Correspondingly, as Mingo said, some emperors and intermediaries in the dark world are extremely hateful towards the Kuroko Pirates because their interests have been damaged.

However, they did not act rashly. At most, they secretly drove some desperate criminals to create trouble for the Kuroko Pirates.

After all, they all knew that if they fought head-on, they would be nothing more than a courier at best, and the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates were also eyeing them covetously, so they could just wait and see.

Jerry and others don't care much about the outside world's disturbances.

They had already set sail towards the next stop, facing the bright morning sun.

"How is it? Mr. Deuce, have your endocrine system changed since you became a dragon? A skeleton like me still needs to go to the toilet, yo ho ho ho."

"Deus, why do you still have that eye mask tied to the dragon's eye? Are you afraid that some stink bugs will come over?"

On the deck of the Heizi, Deus, who was getting familiar with the fruit's transformation, heard everyone's strange questions and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing violently.
