I Want Revenge

I want to buy a Devil Fruit. The young boy called out without hesitation. I could see the fire of revenge burning in his eyes. Even for the rest of the people, even though all the others hesitated, they either had Ambition, Revenge or some other reason to eat a devil fruit. They all were in a dilemma when I took the young boy to choose a devil fruit for himself.

I tell the boy that there are some fruits that I know and some I don't know. There are some fruits that are extremely powerful from the beginning, and some require extreme efforts to be able to exert the same amount of power as them. However, according to the shopkeeper's recommendation, it is best to not think about the type of fruit and focus on your own instinct.

Your instinct will always choose the fruit that will allow you to exert its best power. There used to be a fruit user who used a Zoan type fruit, The Cheetah Fruit, and used it to run at extreme speeds irrespective of the environment. He turned himself into an assassin, and it said that one day he joined an assassination organization, and since that day, no one has ever seen his cheetah form again. It is said that seeing him in his cheetah form means seeing death. So, I recommend believing your instinct but refusing your intuition and choosing a powerful fruit cannot be said to be wrong; after all, what you choose is your choice. Whether it is right or wrong, time will tell. After all, selecting a fruit of your instinct might be slow to develop, which can lead to your death and waste all the hard work you put so choose what you believe in, whether it's your Instinct or something else; the choice is yours.

Although burning with revenge, the boy chooses to trust his instinct as he has no immediate enemies to deal with and is quite unlikely to die. The boy roams around the Section under the eyes of all the other customers and me and chooses his own fruit. He asks how will the payment be taken? I tell him that in case of death, the return of the devil fruit will complete the contract by bringing his strength along, and as for in case of being able to live past a century, every century at the time of payment, it will be informed to him via the shop card.

Then taking a deep breath, the boy then eats the Devil Fruit. The Devil Fruit still tastes as bad as it did in the One-Piece anime (The author's evil intentions). The boy almost threw up, but he ate it up under everyone's somewhat skeptical eyes. The moment the boy eats it, they can see that there is some change in his body as there are some places on his body that turn gray, but everyone is not sure whether it is some adverse effect of this weird fruit of the power gained by this fruit.

The boy then immediately shows immense joy and thanks me for giving him this power. My reply to him is that this power is something you gain at a price. It is not what I gave but rather what you earned for yourself. As long as you don't violate the contract, you don't need to be thankful to me as what I did for you was not favor but rather a business.

He listens to it and accepts it but still maintains a respectful stance towards me. I acknowledge that respect as being respectful to me is something that will be better for him.

The people around ask him what kind of power did he gain and when he hesitates whether to reveal it to them or not, I tell the boy that is just telling the name of the fruit to them is entirely harmless to the boy as whenever he will use his fruit ability in the future, they will find out about it. Rather than treating the ability as something too hidden, what really needs to be hidden is Your Strength, Your Techniques, Your Fruit Ability Moves, and such things and not hide them to death but hide them till it is necessary; after all, it is only by showing your strength that you can let people know that you are not something to be trifled with.

Boy, this will be my advice to you, and I hope that you will never forget in your life that being weak is a sin, and anyone can punish you for it. So never show your vulnerable side to anyone if you want to live, and being too great is also not good as being it is too conspicuous and easy to attract hatred. A tall tree without sufficient foundation cannot withstand the harsh environment that it needs to face and is highly likely to fall. So, remember you can never be too weak and never be too tall as both are harmful. Take steady steps and build a solid foundation so that you can withstand the harshness you need to see at the top.

Now whether you understand it or not is something I don't know, but I have completed my job, so good luck, young boy, on whatever you want to get.

After I finished, the boy looked at me and said, "Thank you, sir, for your advice. And even more for your luck, I will work hard and get what I want. I won't fall in the middle."

Someone looks at the boy and jokingly asks, "What do you want, young boy."

With flames burning in his eyes and with a faint momentum around him, he looks the man in the eye and says the words, "I Want Revenge."
