"Wow... so this is what it means to be intangible, a Logia... What an incredible power!" Mikita exclaimed excitedly as she watched the kitchen knife pass through her body. The spot where the knife struck transformed into white sheets of paper. Some of the sheets were pierced and fell to the ground, but new sheets appeared in their place within a second.

"I'm glad you like this fruit. You can test your powers later, Mikita." Ren patted her on the head and asked her to return to her place. The blonde smiled and complied.

Ren refocused on the system screen and began reading the information about the remaining Devil Fruits.

-II Name: Sickle Sickle Fruit (Kuwa Kuwa no Mi).

- Type: Paramecia.

-¶ Description: A curved, dark green fruit with wrinkles representing strength and ferocity.

- Abilities: Creates sharp air blades capable of cutting through anything in their path. Can be used for both defense and long-range attacks.

-¶l Rating: ***.

"Who wants this fruit?" He looked at the girls, then stored the fruit back into The Infinity Space when he saw that everyone declined.

This was understandable, as the fruit's power wasn't very impressive. In fact, Ren would be surprised if any of them chose to eat it.

'I'll give it to one of the members of the first division of my fleet,' he thought. He was still in regular contact with Mr. 1, who had been tasked with leading the first division of the Sin Pirates fleet. Mr. 1 had informed him that he had recruited some interesting people.

After organizing his thoughts, Ren turned to the next Devil Fruit.

¶ Name: Bull Bull Fruit (Ushi Ushi no Mi).

¶ Type: Standard Zoan.

¶ Description: A brownish-green fruit with horn-like protrusions, embodying raw power.

¶ Abilities: Allows the user to transform into a powerful bull, granting immense physical strength, speed, and endurance.

¶ Rating: ***

This fruit, like the previous one, failed to capture the girls' interest, likely due to its nature, which was more suited to a man rather than the elegant women present.

After storing it, Ren moved on to the next fruit, but as he started reading its details, his eyes widened in surprise.

¶ Name: Space Fruit (Uchu Uchu no Mi).

¶ Type: Logia.

¶ Description: A shiny black fruit with blue and purple gradients, resembling a miniature galaxy.

¶ Abilities: Creates voids in space, allowing the user to teleport instantly to places marked with what's called an "anchor point"... [View More.]

¶ Rating: ***** (Top-tier fruit)

'Space Fruit?! Wasn't this the Air Pocket Fruit...? So the previous user had misidentified it?' Ren was shocked to see that this fruit was ranked as a top-tier power.

[Image here.]

'Miss System, show me more about this fruit's abilities and weaknesses! Show me everything.'

[Understood, Master.]

[Now displaying the fruit's abilities before awakening.]

[- ¶ 1 Limited Void Zones: The user can create small "void points" within a close range. These points cause zero gravity within a confined space, making movement difficult or isolating targets for a short period. However, these zones require intense focus, and the user cannot control a large number of them at once.]

[-¶ 2 Short-range Space Travel: The user can teleport short distances within the voids they create, allowing them to move quickly and avoid attacks. However, they cannot travel long distances or teleport indefinitely. This ability requires the user to have a deep understanding of their fruit's powers.]

[- ¶ 3 Local Space Distortion: The user can create ripples in the space around them, disrupting nearby targets' ability to aim accurately. This effect is temporary and needs time to recharge.]

[- ¶ 4 Concentrated Void Attacks: The user releases intense pressure within a "void point," causing a small, targeted explosion. These attacks are powerful but require time to set up and consume a lot of energy, limiting how often they can be used.]

Ren absorbed the information and memorized it perfectly, aided by his photographic

memory. New messages then appeared.

[Now revealing the fruit's abilities after awakening.]

[Teleportation ability (with conditions):]

[Ability: "Warp Space": The user of the Uchu Uchu no Mi can teleport instantly from one place

to another through space, but with strict conditions: ]

[¶-1 Anchor Point: The user must have previously designated a small "void" point at the location they wish to teleport to. These points can only be created by touching the location or being within the user's direct line of sight. The user must manually mark any new locations, and cannot teleport to places they are unfamiliar with or have never been to before.]

[¶-2 Preparation Time: Instant teleportation requires a brief preparation time of 10 to 15 seconds before activation. During this period, the user is vulnerable to attacks, making it difficult to rely on this ability in the midst of direct combat.]

[1-3 Energy Consumption: Each teleportation consumes a significant amount of energy, preventing its repeated use in a single battle. The user requires a long recovery time after each

use.]

[¶-4 Distance Limitation: Instant teleportation is constrained by a specific range. If the user attempts to exceed this range, they may experience exhaustion or failure in the teleportation

process.]

[¶-5 Physical Drain: Frequent use of this ability noticeably weakens the user physically and may cause them to lose consciousness if they push beyond their limits.]

Ren was completely focused at this moment as he read about the Space Fruit's abilities. The

girls noticed his concentration, so they simply fell silent and watched him as he examined the specific fruit, while in reality, he was looking at an invisible system screen that only he could

see.

[System: Master, after awakening, all previously mentioned abilities are enhanced, and the instant teleportation ability is added to the fruit.]

'This fruit is perfect for escape and espionage... Miss System, show me its weaknesses.'

[System: "Ok-"]

[Weaknesses:]

[-¶1 The fruit's capabilities are limited to a narrow range, making it difficult to affect distant

targets.]

[-¶2 The user requires intense concentration to control the void points, and if distracted, they lose the ability to manage them.]

[-¶3 Like all Devil Fruit users, advanced Haki can penetrate the space created by the user, reducing the effectiveness of their abilities and making them vulnerable to attacks.] [-14 The voids are not permanent; the spatial areas created by the user collapse after a short period, meaning they cannot rely on their effects for long durations or use them for permanent protection.]

'I see...' Ren immersed himself in thought, and after a few seconds, he looked at the girls and shared the information about the fruit, including its features and drawbacks, leaving them to

decide if any of them were interested in it.

"Um... Captain..." a blonde girl spoke hesitantly.

"Kalifa? are you interested in this fruit?" he asked, noticing her hesitation. He continued before hearing her answer, "There's no need to be nervous or worried, Kalifa. What happened in the past is best left in the past. You are one of us now, my comrade." Hearing Ren's soothing words, the girls smiled and looked at him with various expressions,

while Kalifa, the one being addressed, gradually calmed down and nodded at Ren, gratitude evident on her beautiful face.

"Alright then, tell me why you want this fruit." Ren wanted to hear her thoughts and opinions

about it.

"It's because I feel I would adapt to it well. This fruit is perfect for things like espionage... infiltration, and information gathering. I could hide in the voids of space while inside the enemy's headquarters, even if just for a short time. I could also leave an 'anchor point' in the enemy territory without them knowing, allowing us to attack them by surprise... and since it's a Logia, it's simply an ideal fruit for someone like me." Kalifa articulated her thoughts, and as she finished speaking, she looked up at Ren with anticipation.

"Very good, I'm excited to see how far you'll go with this fruit, Kalifa." He smiled at her and then handed her the Space Fruit. The fruit shimmered with a stunning dark purple hue, as if it contained great power within.

Without hesitation, Kalifa took a bite of the fruit. It tasted delicious, a blend of fruity sweetness with a hint of coolness from the void. She felt an extraordinary refreshing sensation flow through her body, prompting her to finish eating the entire fruit.

Suddenly, she felt radical changes occurring within her. Mysterious lights began to shimmer around her, as if emanating from all sides, while she sensed a new power forming inside her. 'So this is the feeling of consuming a Logia?' Kalifa whispered, her breath quickening. She felt boundless strength coursing through her veins, every cell in her body responding to the space around her. The magic of the fruit began to reveal itself, and she could see the lines

of space warping before her eyes.

Preparing to use her new power, her hands moved instinctively, forming a small void area in front of her. 'Amazing!' she thought, realizing that the fruit had granted her extraordinary abilities, yet she also felt a sense of responsibility for this power. Since Ren trusted her, she

felt she had to meet his expectations.

"Congratulations, Kalifa-" Nami was the first to congratulate her on gaining this new power, quickly followed by the other girls stepping forward.

Even Bell-mere playfully patted Kalifa's shoulder, showcasing her cheerful personality. Kalifa, still adjusting to the atmosphere, felt a bit uneasy at first but quickly smiled genuinely

at them and expressed her gratitude.

She sensed that she was in a place where she truly wanted to belong.

The only man in the house looked back at his system interface.

¶-Name: Phoenix Phoenix no Mi.

¶-Type: Legendary Zoan. ¶-Description: A fruit with a celestial blue and golden hue, emitting a faint light that reflects

the essence of renewal and immortality. I-Abilities: Transforms the user into a blue phoenix, granting the power to regenerate from injuries and death, making the user nearly immortal in battle, along with limited healing

abilities for others.

¶-Rating: *****

This was Marco's former fruit. As Ren explained the abilities of this fruit, the girls recognized

it from witnessing Ren's fight against Marco, whether it was Mikita and Nami who were with him or the others who were in Alabasta.

"But I never saw you kill Marco..." Robin said in confusion, wondering how Ren had extracted

the Devil Fruit.

"I poisoned him when no one was watching." Ren openly admitted his underhanded tactics,

and the girls said nothing in response. Robin chuckled slyly, muttering, "As expected from

the captain~"

"Captain Ren, I want this fruit," Kaya suddenly spoke up, bringing them back to the main topic. Ren looked at her and handed over the fruit without hesitation.

"I was already thinking of giving it to you. Its healing abilities are remarkable, perfectly

suited for your role as our crew's doctor." He ruffled her hair affectionately, causing Kaya's cheeks to flush with embarrassment.

Naya, Kaya's mother, observed this scene from her spiritual form within the ring on her

daughter's hand, smiling as she thought: 'It seems Kaya has found her happiness.'

*Crunch~!*

Ren let her eat the Devil Fruit and continued with his earlier task.

¶-Name: Diamond Diamond no Mi.

-Type: Paramecia.

¶-Description: A fruit with a celestial blue hue that sparkles like a diamond, featuring a

smooth surface resembling crystal.

¶-Abilities: Allows the user to turn their body into solid diamond, granting immense

offensive and defensive power.

¶-Rating: ****.

None of the girls showed interest in this fruit. Ren stored it away and then looked at the remaining fruits; there were six left. Thanks to his photographic memory, he couldn't forget

any of them.

¶-Paramecia-type Devil Fruit: Wax-Wax Fruit.

¶-Standar Zoan-type Devil Fruit: Human-Human Fruit.

I-Standar Zoan-type Devil Fruit: Cat-Cat, Model: Tiger. ¶-Paramecia-type Devil Fruit: Spring-Spring Fruit. ¶-Standar Zoan-type Devil Fruit: Bird-Bird, Model: Black Crow. I-Logia-type Devil Fruit: Glue-Glue Fruit.

With the addition of the Bull Fruit, the Diamond Fruit, and the Scythe Fruit stored in his

system, he now had nine fruits in his inventory.

Ren returned the unwanted fruits to The Infinity Space, looked at the girls, and said, "Now,

it's time to determine each of your roles in the crew."
