Logia’S Iron Fruit, Ability Conversion!

In an inconspicuous corner of Mariejois, Arias arrived at a quaint house.

"It seems that the Celestial Dragons don't pay much attention to the machine that can feed Devil Fruit to objects."

There was only one old caretaker present.

But after receiving lessons from the database administrator, Arias knew better than to underestimate him.

Arias carefully surveyed the room and memorized its layout before sneaking in through the rear entrance, opposite the doorman, to avoid detection.

Inside the room, a shackled man was diligently cleaning dust. Even though the machine wasn't used frequently, it had to be kept clean at all times.

Arias waited silently in the darkness for the caretaker to finish his task. As soon as the caretaker moved away, Arias approached the center of the room.

There, he found a device resembling a rescue capsule.

This was the conversion device the Celestial Dragons used to grant Devil Fruit abilities to objects.

The machine was compact: you simply insert the object and the Devil Fruit into their respective slots and activate the device to convert the abilities. However, due to its size, only objects of a limited volume could be converted.

Nevertheless, it was large enough for a doll to lie down inside.

Arias carefully lifted the device and placed it into his storage.

Next, he went underground to a nearby Celestial Dragons' residence. After eliminating everyone inside, he retrieved the conversion device.

He took out thirty-six Devil Fruits. Twelve wooden boxes contained detailed records of each fruit's abilities, while the rest were unclassified, even to the Celestial Dragons.

Among them were one Logia, one Paramecia, and several Zoan types.

The Logia fruit was the Iron Fruit. Initially, Arias mistook it for the Golden Fruit, but the records revealed its true nature.

The Iron Fruit allowed the user to transform into iron, avoid non-Haki attacks, and create or manipulate iron at will. This made it far superior to the Golden and Magnetic Fruits.

Arias was eager to use it. With this fruit, he could enhance the iron content in his body and use iron to heal injuries or strengthen his form.

But first, he continued examining the remaining fruits:

Paramecia: Fragrant Fruit — could create and control any scent, from infatuation to sleep-inducing aromas. Though interesting, it wasn't his preference.

The rest included various Zoan fruits:

Jormungandr Form (Phantom Beast)Velociraptor Form (Ancient)Terror Bird Form (Ancient)Hyena Form (Ordinary)Parrot Form (Ordinary)Peacock Form (Ordinary)Bald Eagle Form (Ordinary)Gorilla Form (Ordinary)Praying Mantis Form (Ordinary)Wild Boar Form (Ordinary)Hedgehog Form (Ordinary)Antelope Form (Ordinary)

The haul was impressive, but Arias chose the Logia Iron Fruit. He placed the fruit into the conversion device and lay the doll in the cabin.

As the machine started its transformation process, Arias realized a potential issue: the device's interior contained seastone, which was known to be incompatible with Devil Fruits.

There was no turning back now. He could only hope for the best.

After half an hour, the hatch opened, revealing the transformed doll. The Iron Fruit had been successfully integrated, and Arias felt no discomfort from the seastone.

He tested his new ability by turning a piece of meteorite into molten iron, which he used to reinforce his body and repair any injuries. He could now manipulate iron perfectly, with a density so high that even the strongest attacks would struggle to penetrate.

Arias also created thirty-six sharp flying knives from the molten iron, which he launched effortlessly, demonstrating their formidable strength.

Satisfied, Arias went underground to Ginny's location. He crafted a cage from meteorite iron and secured her underground. He then cut her ropes and reassured her.

"Dragon has been causing chaos everywhere, and the big bear is coming soon. I'll take you to a safe place."

Ginny was overjoyed, knowing the Revolutionary Army hadn't abandoned her.

Arias used his Earth Immortal technique to transport Ginny to her new location and told her to wait while he freed the other slaves.

Though the underground space was limited, it was adequately ventilated with a steel conduit leading to the surface.
