078 New Shop Feature

Now that he has the 'Fruit Awakening' ability, it's truly the icing on the cake.

Crew Link can indeed connect a Devil Fruit user among his crew members, allowing him to utilize that crew member's fruit abilities.

A very important factor to consider is the crew member's proficiency with the fruit's ability.

For instance, Avalo Pizarro's current Paramecia Island fruit has reached the stage of fruit awakening.

He is directly linked to Avalo Pizarro and gains the ability to awaken the Island-island Fruit as well.

However, for a recently acquired fruit power user like Catarina Devon, utilizing the crew link to connect is akin to gaining a new fruit power.

There's still a need for further development to fully unleash its devil fruit capabilities.

With the fruit awakening function, he can now efficiently remove the fruit development process by directly utilizing the system's ability.

That's what makes him happy.

Regardless of the fruit abilities he gets in the future, he can experiment with them after awakening.

Some devil fruit abilities are completely different before awakening and after awakening.

Take Charlotte Katakuri, for example. He developed the Mochi-Mochi Fruit until its awakening, complementing it with his Observation Haki that can predict the future.

It's just like a Logia fruit. 

Later, Blackbeard examined the conditions for redeeming the abilities for awakening devil fruit.

[Crew Link: 5.000 character points]

[Soul Line: 20.000 character points]

[Fruit Awakening: 15.000 character points]

"Fifteen thousand character points, that's reasonable" 

Blackbeard whispered to himself upon seeing the price.

With a crew link and the opportunity for fruit awakening, he could also acquire a new devil fruit power by purchasing a soul. 

Naturally, he was satisfied with the price.

Turning off the data information, excitement gleamed in his eyes. 

He then grabbed a nearby item from the table—a Den-Den Mushi.

The surrounding beauties and pirates all fixed their gaze on Blackbeard.

These days, whenever Blackbeard uses the micro Den-Den Mushi, he will announce an event.

So, what's he up to this time? 

Currently, in front of Blackbeard, a large screen displays numerous surveillance feeds from Beehive Island, where he has strategically placed a considerable number of surveillance Den-Den Mushi.

Through the big screen, he can see everything that is happening on Beehive Island.

"Zeehahahaha!!!" 

Through the Den-Den Mushi, his loud laughter resonated across the entire island.

"Did everyone have a good time?!" 

Blackbeard asked with a smile.

"Hahahaha, of course!"

"This is a pirate's paradise!"

"Boss Blackbeard, do you have any orders?" 

The pirates on the island suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

Everything pirates yearn for is available on Beehive Island, so they naturally treat Blackbeard with respect.

"Today, to celebrate my rise to Yonko, I'll be distributing 500 million beli all over the island! Whoever grabs it, it's theirs! The condition is that you must follow the rules and no fighting. Is this reward good enough for everyone? Zeehahahaha..." 

After Blackbeard finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

"500 million Beli?! Wow!"

"Blackbeard, I love you!"

"This is a pirate's paradise!!!"

...

The island erupted in cheers. 

Soon, as per Blackbeard's arrangement, 500 million Beli were scattered across Beehive Island.

The whole Beehive Island turned into a carnival, with countless pirates scrambling to grab those Beli.

Simply by making such a decision, Blackbeard could sense that he had earned a large number of character points.

"Captain Blackbeard, you're quite stingy, not even thinking about rewarding us."

"Exactly." 

Several beauties dealing cards playfully complained to Blackbeard, adding a unique flavor to the moment.

"Zeehahaha, of course, you're indispensable; this is my reward!" 

Blackbeard casually picked up two stacks of Beli and placed them proudly next to the two beauties.

Upon seeing this, the two beauties' faces lit up with excitement, and they both planted a kiss on Blackbeard's cheek.

"Boss Blackbeard is becoming really famous in the New World! It's just a matter of time before we surpass the other three sea emperors!"

"Exactly, how can the other four emperors benefit pirates like us? They're like vampires, forcing us to pay protection fees on time."

...

The pirates present quickly flattered him, and their words made Blackbeard feel quite pleased.

Blackbeard smiled at them and said, "Isn't this the life of us pirates?" 

Upon hearing this, several people were momentarily stunned and looked at Blackbeard with a newfound admiration.

...

Next, Blackbeard pulled out a Den-Den Mushi in front of everyone.

"Poruporu..."

Soon, the other party answered the Den-Den Mushi, and Jesus Burgess's voice came through.

"Captain Blackbeard, what's the matter?"

"Get the Diamond Fruit."

"Okay!" 

After Burgess finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to Doc Q to get the Diamond Fruit, And a thought come to his mind.

Is Captain Blackbeard going to give him the Diamond Fruit? 

With this thought, excitement couldn't help but light up Burgess's face.

Soon, he brought the Diamond Fruit to Blackbeard.

"Captain Blackbeard, the Diamond Fruit has been brought to you." 

Burgess placed the Diamond Fruit on the table, and the people around couldn't help but show envious expressions.

This is a Diamond Fruit. The value of this fruit alone is over 1 billion Beli.

If it were placed at an auction, it might fetch an even better price. Encounter a wealthy Celestial Dragon, and it could potentially sell for a sky-high amount!

"Captain Blackbeard, are you giving me this fruit?"

Burgess asked straightforwardly.

Blackbeard shook his head, "It's not that."

"Since that's not the case, then I won't worry about it. Weihahahaha!!" 

Burgess laughed and decisively gave up the idea of obtaining the Diamond Fruit.

"You know I mean what I say, and the fruit I want to give you must be even better than this Diamond Fruit"

Blackbeard assured Burgess.

After all, Burgess is the first titanic captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, which is like an extension of his own reputation.

So, he wants to give Burgess a powerful Devil Fruit, to make sure that Burgess does not disgrace the strength of the Blackbeard Pirates.

And with Burgess's loyalty, he would rather give him a powerful devil fruit.

"Okay!" 

When Burgess heard this, an excited expression lit up his face, and he nodded eagerly.

Several envious eyes were fixed on Burgess. 

Now that Blackbeard has become one of the Four Emperors, no matter how strong Burgess is, he is still the first titanic captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. 

His status can be easily imagined.

...

After Blackbeard explained the situation to Burgess, he picked up the Diamond Fruit.

The Diamond Fruit lives up to its name, with several sparkling diamonds adorning its exterior. It's anything but ordinary at first glance.

"Boss Blackbeard, what are you doing?" 

Several pirates asked as they observed Blackbeard picking up the Diamond Fruit.

Then, a scene that shocked them appeared! 

Blackbeard bit down on the Diamond Fruit right in front of them!!
