Chapter 3: Wishes and the Start of a New Journey

"For our second wish," Theo began, his gaze shifting towards Mavis for a fleeting moment of reassurance before settling back on the divine figure before them, "we request access to a complete list of all the Devil Fruits. However, we wish this not just for ourselves, but for any member who joins our crew. As each pivotal crew member comes aboard, we would like them to have the opportunity to choose a Devil Fruit, empowering them and enhancing the capabilities of our crew as a whole."

God's expression revealed a flicker of amusement mixed with intrigue, reflecting on the depth and foresight of their request. "A generous and strategic wish," God remarked, the air around them tingling with a surge of energy as the implications of their request took form. "Granting every crew member a Devil Fruit would indeed forge a formidable team, capable of great influence and power in the world you are about to enter."

However, after a brief pause, God's voice took on a more contemplative tone. "Yet, such power must be tempered with discretion. To maintain balance and ensure each choice is meaningful," God continued, "I will limit this privilege to only ten pivotal roles within your crew. Only those who hold unique and essential positions will have the opportunity to choose from these extraordinary fruits. This will ensure that each selection strengthens not just the individual but the crew as a whole, fostering a team where each member's role is crucial and well-defined."

Theo and Mavis exchanged a look of understanding and nodded in agreement. The limitation was reasonable, and it aligned well with their vision of building a tightly knit, powerful crew where each member's role was indispensable.

"Thank you," Mavis said, her voice firm with resolve and gratitude. "We agree to this condition. It ensures that our core crew will be exceptionally equipped to face the challenges ahead."

"Very well," God declared, the light around them shimmering as the wish was granted. "Your crew will be one of remarkable abilities and strategic acumen. Each of the ten pivotal members will have the potential to select a Devil Fruit that complements their role, enhancing their natural talents and their contributions to your collective endeavors."

Theo and Mavis felt a surge of excitement and anticipation. The prospect of assembling a crew with such unique capabilities added a thrilling dimension to their adventure. They knew that each choice would now carry an even greater weight, shaping the destiny not only of their crew but potentially impacting the broader world they were about to join.

In an instant, a scroll materialized in front of Theo and Mavis. It unrolled elegantly, revealing detailed illustrations and descriptions of myriad Devil Fruits—each with unique powers and curses. Beside it, another scroll appeared, this one depicting various ships, from swift sloops to formidable galleons, each annotated with specifications and capabilities.

Mavis's eyes widened with wonder as she perused the scrolls. "Theo, look," she pointed at a particularly striking fruit illustration, "these abilities... they could really make a difference."

Theo nodded, his mind racing through the strategic implications of each choice. "And choosing the right ship... it's crucial. It will be our home, our means of exploration, and sometimes our greatest defense."

"Very well," God said, nodding in approval. "Your choices will be waiting for you as you begin your new lives. Now, for your final wish."

Theo and Mavis exchanged a brief look, a silent communication that spoke volumes of their journey from Earth to this moment. The weight of their final wish hung between them, a beacon of their hopes and fears for their future together.

With their scrolls in hand and their futures on the horizon, Theo and Mavis faced their final decision. They stood together, their unity palpable in the charged atmosphere, as they prepared to articulate their last wish—a wish that would be essential for their survival and success in the unpredictable world of "One Piece."

"For our final wish," Theo began, his voice carrying a determined edge, while Mavis nodded alongside him, "we ask for there to be no limits on our potential growth and no barriers to becoming stronger. Additionally, we seek high adaptability and survivability in whatever challenges we might face."

God, listening intently, regarded them with a knowing smile. "An ambitious wish," God observed, the light in the space around them twinkling like stars in the night sky. "You seek the essence of limitless potential and the ability to thrive under any circumstances. It's a profound foundation for the life you are about to lead."

The air seemed to pulse with approval as God continued, "This wish grants you an intrinsic ability to learn and adapt rapidly, to grow stronger from every encounter, and to overcome any obstacles that may arise. Your resilience will be unmatched, and your capacity to evolve will ensure that you are always equipped to handle the complexities of your new world."

Mavis, feeling a surge of empowerment from their granted wishes, squeezed Theo's hand tightly. "We will make every moment count," she promised, her voice a mixture of gratitude and resolve.

"Theo, Mavis," God concluded, the divine presence beginning to recede, "you are now ready to embark on your journey. Remember, the paths you choose and the decisions you make will shape not just your destiny, but also the lives of those you encounter. Go forth with courage, for you are bound for greatness."

With a final nod from God, the space around them began to shift. The brilliant light enveloped them once more, signifying the transition from their old world to their new adventure. As the light faded, Theo and Mavis found themselves standing on the deck of their chosen ship, the vast sea stretching before them, the scrolls of Devil Fruits and ship details now reality in their hands.

As they looked out over the ocean, their eyes gleaming with the promise of countless adventures and the freedom of the open sea, they knew they were ready. Ready to explore, to fight, to love, and to live a life of legendary adventures. With no barriers to their potential and a high capacity for survival, they were truly free to become the architects of their own destinies in the vast, vibrant world of "One Piece."
