Chapter 2 - Zoan Devil Fruit

After sitting for another morning staring at the calm sea, Will reluctantly got up and went to look for the Monkey.

After these few days of 'friendship and peace', the monkeys seemed to have gotten to know him as a strange and harmless creature.

In this forest, they are the weakest of all, otherwise, they wouldn't have been driven to the outermost part of the forest.

The good thing is that they only eat fruit, and the forest is so rich in fruit that they can live quite comfortably if they unite to defend themselves against powerful 'foreign enemies'.

So when they saw a creature that they had never seen before, and that it was so 'weak' that it could only follow behind them to pick up fruit to eat, they showed great interest in it for a while.

After the initial vigilance, now every time Will came over, there would be a few curious little monkeys holding fruits that he had never even seen on Earth before and giving them to him.

In contrast, Will also used whatever means he could to express his goodwill.

For example, he used his left hand, which was not wrapped by the Infinity Gauntlet, to scratch, ticks and stroke the hair of the monkeys, and they got along very well.

Unfortunately, although the monkeys are smart, they are still far from being able to talk.

In the end, people are still social animals, and on this dangerous island where there is no one to communicate with,  Will's mood is getting more and more depressed every day.

His optimism is only his saving grace. But when the bottom line is broken, even the most optimistic person will collapse instantly.

But somehow, these cute little monkeys have somewhat given Will some psychological comfort and relieved his gradually depressed mood.

While Will was sitting on the ground, eating sweets, and delicious looking juicy fruits with one hand, while taking turns to scratch the itch of some naughty little monkeys with his other hand, he suddenly found a strange looking fruit with a hint of familiarity on it.

It was true that he had eaten a lot of strange-looking fruits in the past few days, but this was the first time he had ever seen this fruit that gave him such a strange feeling.

So he curiously picked up the fruit and began to examine it.

In terms of shape alone, it was no different from the bananas he had seen everywhere on earth.

However, the black and white colour and the spiral pattern that looked strangely familiar made Will involuntarily stop what he was doing and began to ponder.

Why does this thing look so much like the "junk" he bought at an agrarian exhibition?

He remembers the time when he was courting a beautiful graduate student from an agrarian university, and then he got screwed so badly at the fair that he spent 100,000 on the three legendary 'Devil's Fruits'!

Just by looking at the shapes and colours, it looks exactly like what he saw in the comic!

To be honest, Will was quite impressed by the ability of the one who cultivated the fruit into such a strange and magical appearance, so when he bought them home and found that they didn't taste very good and it also didn't give him any magical abilities, he chose to 'retaliate'!

After he shoved money to that beautiful graduate student, she immediately agreed to become his girlfriend. And that's when Will began his 'retaliation'.

Every single day, Will let the girl cosplay as the character from one piece, that every single day she changed into Nami, then being Robin etc… so that he could take his revenge for the three 'fake devil fruit'!

It's just a pity that he somehow ended up here, not knowing what happened to that schoolgirl. 

And his life of picking up girls every single day is gone just like that is really sad just thinking about it.

Oh yeah, and the lady who was going to give him 'after-sales service' after work, he don't know if she will be sad....

Somehow, Will's thoughts went off to an unknown place without him knowing.

And it's only when the little monkeys on his side who felt him stop rubbing them grabbed his hair interrupting his thoughts.

He quickly smacked himself a few times to clear his mind from unnecessary thoughts.

"So, this stuff can't be a real devil fruit, right? I wouldn't be so unlucky as to travel through this incredibly chaotic era of pirates, would I?"

Will was even more depressed thinking about it.

It's easy to prove whether or not it's real. Since eating the banana that looks like a devil's fruit, will make everything clear.

A Devil's Fruit!

Although the shape is presumed to be on a Zoan type, but on this precarious and dangerous island, strengthening his survival ability is the most important thing, so if it's really a real deal, it's a boon for him.

But the problem is he just doesn't know what kind of animal it is, and it would be embarrassing if it turned out to be an eel.

'I wonder what kind of animal it is. I don't think the Devil Fruit's Zoan Type has ever found a sea creature, so is this a kind of 'curse'?'

Any person who read the original should know the 'killing power' of this fruit, the taste that even Luffy can't accept...

Goodbye, my Eisbein!

Goodbye, my boiled fish!

Farewell...

Just when Will was about to feel the real "Devil Taste", the Infinity Gauntlet, which had been silent since his crossing, suddenly began to glow.

"Huh? Is it my Goldfinger on the line?"

Will immediately began to excitedly study the new reaction of the Infinity Gauntlet in his right hand as he dropped the devil fruit on the ground, but after he tried a series of methods such as friction, open sesame chant, and the like, this thing still has the same appearance.

And it seems that the light is getting weaker and weaker...

Will, who noticed it, was a little anxious, but he forced himself to calm down.

As a qualified second-generation rich man, even if his ideal was to wait for the death of his family, he still had some bright spots that were better than normal people under the influence of his family environment.

At least his father always taught him not to be anxious or nervous, the more critical the situation, the more so. And only by calming down can the key to breaking the game be found.

The principles in the business world are also applicable in life.

So Will began to calmly recall all the information he knew about the Infinity Gauntlet.

Although the light on the Infinity Gauntlet was getting weaker and weaker, and the number of little monkeys hanging on his body had exceeded ten, he was still calmly recalling what he knew.

The Infinity Gauntlet... Six Infinity Gems... Carrier... Fusion...

Unleash the power...

I got it!

Will took a deep breath, he thought he might have guessed something, and what he was about to do next would be a great feat!

He ignored the already inscrutable weakness of the Infinity Gauntlet and picked up the suspected Devil fruit first, only this time he wasn't going to eat it himself, but to 'feed' it to the Infinity Gauntlet he was carrying!

He frowned and picked up the 'banana' looking fruit and slowly approached it on one of the slots on the Infinity Gauntlet….
