Chapter 6: Miscellaneous Improvements

Robert stopped paying attention to the change of the Super Pirate Ship and started looking at the sword and pistol.

The pirate attire change was likely to be a qualifying defense boost. As for the sword, when he held it in his hand, Robert felt that although it didn't seem to change, it was as if he could feel that it was sharper than before, a hidden power more powerful.

Taking the scabbard, he picked up the pistol. While holding it with his left hand, he used his right hand to flatten the body of the pistol, until then, it had no change in the external appearance, but it had an increase in offensive power. Another thing was that he himself was able to use solar energy to recharge the pistol faster.

To recharge, he needed to perform the technique: Nine Laps of the Sun.

This technique allows him to use solar energy, although, at the current time, the amount of solar energy he uses is low, as he raises his power, Robert hopefully hopes that he can have a pistol with unlimited bullets!

In addition to the new cannon located near the bow, the cannons located on the sides of the ship have also been improved, albeit only to a slightly higher level than the cannons on regular pirate ships.

'Okay, I remember there's also another gift box.'

Remembering this, his eyes light up a little.

If possible, he would like something useful to come again.

When he arrives at the storage cabin, the familiar gift box is there again.

When the gift box was half-opened, dazzling golden light erupted from the gift box.

After the golden light faded, Robert was able to see what appeared.

There were three things that replaced the gift box.

A possible devil fruit as it was a strange-looking fruit, a 300ml bottle of strange liquid, and an old-looking ring with strange letters he couldn't make out written around the ring.

When he holds the ring, to his surprise, he discovers that it is something with spatial power; a space ring with 10 cubic meters.

A wonderful thing he only saw talked about in books he read on Earth.

When he put it on his left index finger and tried to wear it, the writing patterns swirled and a green neon glow appeared around the ring smoothly, soon he was able to see the space inside the ring.

It was like looking at blank space through a window.

After testing the space ring a bit, Robert got the fruit that looks somewhat similar to the shape of an apple, only purple in color and streaked with patterns of a half circle that curves a little deeper into the broken circle.

In the next instant, information about this fruit appeared, and as he imagined, it was a devil fruit.

[Kilo Kilo no Mi: A Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to alter their weight from 1 to 10,000 kg without in any way affecting their overall body size]

[Compatibility between host devil fruit found! Want to enhance your current Devil Fruit? Or do you want to switch to devil fruit?]

"But what!?"

Robert let out a scream.

Because of the fright he took, he almost dropped the fruit on the ground. Catching the devil fruit that flew out of his hand, bouncing it a few times, he sighs when he manages to get a firm grip.

'Devil fruit enhancement, so how is it also possible to change devil fruit?'

Changing devil fruit was not something he wanted, after all, he felt that the one he currently had was very good, apart from this devil fruit: Kilo Kilo no Mi seems to be inferior to the one he currently has.

[Host wants to use Kilo Kilo no Mi to enhance his Devil Fruit: Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Superheavy Phoenix?]

"Yes," Robert murmured.

In the next instant, he even felt the Nine Laps of the Sun technique being used and a golden light erupted from his body towards the left hand that held the devil fruit, soon a blinding golden light caused him to close his eyes.

Robert felt the weight of the devil fruit in his hand disappearing as he felt something warm like wind hit his body and enter.

When he opened his eyes again, Robert realized that both he and the ship were suspended in the air, floating!

'Damn it, I need to control this now!' Robert screamed in his mind when he realized what had happened.

It was good that he felt that his Devil Fruit's power had increased, but with that also came the difficulty of controlling the Devil Fruit.

Because of that, he didn't even notice that there was a layer of golden aura around his body.

For the next 10 minutes, Robert spent trying to control the Devil Fruit, and make the Super Pirate Ship descend into the seawater again.

*Beng!*

The sound of wood hitting water echoes and some small waves formed with the impact.

"Sigh… I think if something like this happens again, I'll do it on dry land."

It was a good decision. It wouldn't be good if he wasn't able to control it in time, and by a slip, something tragic would happen with him falling into the sea, or the ship falling from a very high height.

After things calmed down, he didn't try to use his Devil Fruit power, but rather, meditated to bring it under control.

He prefers to leave it to train when he returns to the island, in that forest when going up the mountain a little.

When he picked up the vial, the vial information appeared.

[White Dew Liquid: Contains pure energy capable of nourishing the body and refining]

Although tempted, he didn't want to test it while on the ship. It wouldn't be any fun if something similar or even worse to what happened when enhancing his devil fruit happened when consuming White Dew Liquid.

Just in case, he tried using the spatial ring and put the vial away.

Feeling his stomach rumble with hunger, Robert went to the kitchen and began to prepare some fish.

The next morning, Robert went straight up into the woods a little way up the mountain.

As he flew, he didn't see humans nearby, so he sat cross-legged. Taking the vial of White Dew Liquid, he opened the cap and consumed all the white liquid that glowed a little.

"Urghhh!"

When Robert consumed it, the white liquid flowed down his throat, turning into a hot stream, which was merging with his body.

Like flames burning his body, his skin turned red. Robert then used the method of the Nine Loops of the Sun technique, while guiding the energy flow towards what felt like bodily refinement.

While Robert hadn't even completed the first stage of the technique, he felt like a door had been opened, and the flow of energy allowed his body to successfully advance to the first stage of the technique, while it seemed like it wasn't the end, since it begins what seems to be, refining his bones.

The pain came back stronger, making Robert let out some pained murmurs. The flow of energy from the liquid still didn't wear off and refined and refined his bones again.

When it seemed that it would end, Robert noticed that his skin began to repel a kind of darkened pus through his pores, emitting an unbearable smell.

This made him think of what was described as 'spinal cleansing'.

Having completed the first stage of the Nine Laps of the Sun technique and entered the second stage, Robert also vaguely felt his bodily strength increasing.

But, he didn't want to think about that now, the horrible smell was making him nauseous, so he went to the nearby lake and jumped in with clothes and all, after all, clothes also need to be cleaned.
