C31 Cutting Fruit Bronze Giant

After making the selection, 10 million Belly was deducted, and both the Devil Fruit and the giant vanished without a trace.

Buzz!

A dazzling beam of light erupted.

Seconds later, a 3D human-shaped virtual model materialized. It had teal skin and piercing dragon-like eyes that gleamed with vitality. Its muscles rippled with power, reminiscent of dragons winding around mountains. The creature's features were stern and stoic, topped with shoulder-length gray hair that fell loosely.

"This..." He was astounded by the attributes, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. It was incredibly powerful.

He couldn't help feeling envious.

Yet, he recognized the fruit's nature.

"This is the Cutting Fruit... the blade-wielding man under Crocodile," he murmured to himself.

The fruit was impressive, potent, and well-developed by the blade man, though his strength was somewhat lacking.

Since the blade man was still young, the fruit remained uneaten, and by a stroke of luck, it had fallen into his hands.

"It will reach its full potential with the Australovenator."

Given the Australovenator's attributes and its innate predatory instincts at the apex of the food chain, its power was formidable. With the addition of the remaining intermediate strengthening, it should attain the might of a lieutenant.

Buzz!

As the Australovenator's power surged, the feedback bolstered his own physique, unleashing a torrent of energy from within.

His muscles tensed, sculpting his form to perfection, while his stature grew another five centimeters.

His skin shimmered briefly, turning iron-like, and his fingernails emitted a chilling sharpness that seemed to cool the surrounding air.

Esaki raised his hand, shaping it into a claw, and swiped at the empty air in front of the wooden wall.

"Puff..."

Four claw marks materialized on the wooden wall, as wood chips cascaded to the floor.

"The power to slice through fruit... a weakened version, huh?"

Esaki smiled, taking in the sight with satisfaction. It felt great.

Even though he had acquired a version of the power diluted to one-tenth of its original strength, it still allowed his body to unleash sharp attacks. Now, he was a walking arsenal, capable of even numbing his enemies.

...

Meanwhile, on the ship's deck.

The Australovenator, which had been eyeing Robin, let out a bellow, and its massive form began to transform.

A dazzling light burst forth from its body, startling both the gorilla and Robin, blinding them momentarily.

Seconds later.

As the brilliance faded, a fifteen-meter-tall bronze giant stood in its place, its skin gleaming in the sunlight.

A dense and piercing presence radiated from the giant, and knife-like marks etched themselves silently into the ground.

The bronze giant roared, a sound that pierced the heavens.

Then, calming its aura, it began to examine its new body.

The gorilla and Robin opened their eyes.

Robin, gazing up at the immense bronze figure, was utterly astounded and murmured in awe, "It's so huge."

The gorilla, brimming with curiosity, let out a few calls before leaping towards the bronze giant and clambering onto it, utterly fearless.
