Abundance overload!

The first thing Fred did when Bege "donated" the Akuma No Mi to him was read the book that Bege also "donated" to him to find out what kind of power the Akuma No Mi cherry tomato has.

To his surprise it was the Mini Mini No Mi, an unofficial Paramecia fruit that appeared twice in One Piece. In some filler chapters during the promotion of the movie "One Piece Film: Z" and in the video game "One Piece: Round the Land". And on both occasions that fruit had been consumed by giants and not without practical reasons... regardless of convenience.

The Mini Mini No Mi allows its user to reduce its size at will to a maximum of 5 millimeters, being able to alternate between this size, his original size and any size between these two at will. Size reductions also include the clothing or equipment that the person is currently wearing, but without reducing his own strength or his item properties in the slightest.

In addition, it also transforms the user's standard height to 30 centimeters. That is why in the case of losing consciousness, falling into the sea or deactivating the Mini Mini No Mi, he or she wouldn't regain its maximum height, but rather that new standard.

It was evident that the Minini No Mi was tailor-made to be eaten by a giant. For this reason Fred had planned to visit Valhalthar, a small village of giants in the West Blue, birthplace of the Captain of the Seventh Ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, Sanjuan Wolf, the biggest giant known until now. Fred's goal was simple, find a strong and trustworthy giant who could join them and fight alongside him.

A goal that... more or less they achieved successfully and with better than expected results... apparently...

'Well...

I expected to arrive at Valhalthar for the first time, meet a person competent in problems, discover that his problems and practically all the problems of the island are being caused by a group of villains and defeat the group of villains together with that person, but being me the one defeating the Final Boss

And of course that person would be extremely grateful for my help and would want to join me to fulfill their dream and my dream too!

You know, the standard Mugiwara's recruitment process." Fred thought, somewhat disappointed by his unmet expectations. 'Although well, I suppose what happened with David is something more normal. If each crew needed to save an island every time they wanted to recruit someone they would have to travel all over the world to have a large crew.

Although now that I think, the only normal recruitment I've done so far has been David's...

As my childhood friend Stephen has always been inside, I caught Hawky using food and with Perona… I practically used the same method with which I recruited Hawky...

I'll have to talk to the human resources department

MUA HAHAHAHAHA!

But I swear that one day I'll recruit someone like Luffy does!'

But aside from those ridiculous unfulfilled expectations, David's recruitment also didn't take place under very normal circumstances. They didn't do extensive tests on his character, an investigation into his past,or his skills as a cook and combatant before handing him a valuable Akuma No Mi, hire this stranger and add him to their circle of trust.

This was a somewhat hasty decision, inappropriate for someone as farsighted, negative and paranoid as Fred. Fred discarded his recruitment and delivery policies for Akuma No Mis simply because… everything had been extremely convenient…

'In the event of not finding a giant that met my expectations in Valhalthar, I was willing to wait until I reached Elbaf to find another... or even until I recruited Ors Jr, but...

Halfway there I find a giant who not only meets all the characteristics I was looking for, he also turned out to be a cook, something I was looking for too...

What're the possibilities?

What're the possibilities that I didn't pick up this treasure that something or someone had left expressly for me?' Fred thought quite annoyed, not knowing to what extent he should be happy or worried about the events of this day and the previous months. 'First was my belovel Life Life No Mi and now the Mini Mini No mi in conjunction with this boy...

Is the god who sent me here intervening here giving me exactly what I need at the right time... or have I simply acquired the plot armor no justsu of an anime protagonist?

I like it… and it terrifies me at the same time...'

"The first course is here friends!"

But no matter how or why everything happened...

"Perfect! Goodbye cooking again!!"

"I'm so hungry! I would eat a steel beam if I could!"

"Kyah!!"

It was too late to worry about that.

David was now officially a member of FreedSteel!

After eating the Mini Mini No Mi, the group's new cook was able to change his size at will, going from being a 55-meter giant to a normal human or even smaller. So after practicing a bit on the island to make sure he controlled his new ability correctly at all times without running the risk of suddenly becoming a giant and destroying everything, David entered the Underworld.

And from there, with overflowing happiness after fulfilled a dream that he hadn't even dared to dream of, living with total normality alongside other species without any his usual size problem, David began to cook his best dishes without using tongs for his best friends to commemorate the most wonderful day in his 55 years of life.

"The wait has been long!" Fred exclaimed, brandishing his fork, knife, spoon, teaspoon and toothpick with great impatience. "What could it be?"

"Maybe it's lentils" Said Marlon while polishing his favourite spoon. "What do you think?"

"Whatever is" Answered Roxanne, so excited that she ignored her husband's absurd nervous and useless tic. "The important thing is that we'll finally be able to eat food made by a professional chef after so long!"

Although Marlon and Roxanne agreed not to interfere with their trip, the addition of a new member to the family was an event they couldn't miss, especially when that one was a cook. Therefore they left their miniature mobile fortress to introduce themselves to the new member and celebrate with everyone.

"Sorry for making you wait!" David said coming out of the kitchen with seven plates covered by a metal plate cover. "Here you have the first round and I'll bring more soon."

Seven dishes that as soon as they were uploaded olfactorily and visually amazed the entire Underworld crew

"Since we're under the sea, I wanted to start with a marine dish.

Roasted kingfish with pil-pil clam, golden crab, champagne, a fine hazelnut cream and emperor shark caviar" David said, presenting his designer dishes with the impeccable manners and elegance of a stereotypical British butler. "I hope be to your liking

"Gentlemen and ladies"

And...

"WOW!"

That exclamation was the only thing that escaped Fred's mouth and those gathered around the table. A sigh that perfectly summed up their impression after seeing that incredibly elaborate dish that seemed more like a work of art than a meal.

They were so pretty that it was even sad to eat them!

But not only did they look amazing, they also smelled better than anything else they had ever smelled in this world, but...

'This... is not what I expected...' Fred thought, completely stunned as he watched David and his food. 'I really wasn't expecting this.'

When he hired a giant cook of a Viking like culture, Fred imagined that David would prepare an opulent, enormous but delicious banquet full of meat and alcohol that would take him to the halls of Valhalla. However, he found a fine kitchen with meticulous design that took him to one of those restaurants where it takes years to get a table and several years to pay for a simple menu.

Something unexpected, but probably not undesirable

"Well... here we go" Fred said looking at each side of the table to make sure they were in sync "Boys, girls, bird...

All at once!"

And as soon as they tasted a little of that visual wonder...

"Mmmm!!!"

Something changed inside them forever!

A flavor, aroma, texture that they had never tasted before invaded their palate, esophagus, stomach, bloodstream and finally in each and every one of their cells, flooding them with incredible pleasure.

The supreme pleasure when eating food in an anime known as...

FOODGASM!

And for some strange reason they visualized themselves naked and living quite erotic-surreal astral hallucinations while they writhed with pleasure.

'What the hell is this food? And what the hell are these reactions?! 'Fred thought as he looked perplexed and even afraid at the piece of food stuck in his fork 'Am I in the One Piece world or the Shokugeki no Soma world?'

However, neither Fred nor anyone else had the time or inclination to wonder what was happening.

All their instincts forced them to eat each and every one of the dishes that David was progressively taking out of the kitchen, which despite being small, weren't few and all of them, including the drinks and desserts, were as good or better than the first course.

Even Perona, the one who ate the least of the entire group along with Roxanne, ate several dozen dishes until she was completely full and exhausted, just like Fred, Stephen and Marlon, who after eating hundreds of dishes that made them expand their culinary horizons, they rested with an excessively swollen belly on their bicycles, chairs/exercise bikes.

Such was the gourmet power of a professional chef in this world, one that not even Fred, Roxanne or Perona were capable of emulating.

"David, I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I tell you that…" Fred said, stretched out in his chair with total satisfaction while he peacefully rubbed his swollen belly. "From now on we'll only eat what you cook.

"It is a great pleasure that you have joined the family."

A statement that was only intended to be sincere praise for his new cook and a message of relief to Perona. But for David that statement, which reached the depths of his enormous heart, meant the validation and justification of all the suffering and work of his life until now... and the beginning of a new and better life...

"No Fred... the pleasure is mine...

You saved my life

You have given me a beautiful home and friend..

With the fruit you have given me I have fulfilled a dream that I didn't even dare to dream of, finally being able to have a normal life with other people!

And... with your ability to create unlimited food and the fruit that you have given me, which gives me the ability to shrink... I'm fulfilling the dream for which I went out to sea." David said, crying again with happiness as he knelt before Fred and the entire FreedSteel staff to renew with greater strength the oath he signed before entering the Underworld. "Boss!

I'll follow you to the same Helheim from now until the day I die!

And in my next lives too!"

"Thanks, David.

And I'll also teach you how to play basketball if you want" Fred said, trying to make light of the matter with a Slam Dunk reference that only he understood. "But now dry your tears and enjoy your enormous endless feasts."

"YES BOSS!!!" David said as he shrunk his body so that his food was larger in comparison before starting to eat the desserts. "It pains me to say it, but it's delicious! AND HUGE!!!"

The small but delicious portion of the designer cake became gigantic in David's eyes and he devoured it with great ease, filling his belly like never before.

This being another of the advantages of the Mini Mini No Mi.

Although the user still needed an amount of calories and nutrition equivalent to its original size to stay well nourished, but could be savoured many more times for eating in small, yet large portions.

A strange sensation that David was enjoying like a child, shrinking more and more to make that dreamlike moment never end.

"Shrink as much as you want to enjoy the food, but when you grow, don't grow any larger than the point we have practiced.

Or else you'll tear my clothes" Fred said as he quickly digested all the food using the Seimei Kikan, returning his stomach to normal "I don't have too many changes by the way"

When a Mini Mini No Mi user shrinks in size, their clothing and equipment also shrinks proportionally and in the same way they also increase in size, but only up to the original size of that clothing or equipment. Right now David was wearing Fred's clothes, the ones that fit him the best, so if he increased his size above Fred's height they would end up breaking.

"Yeah, we'll have to do something about that," Stephen said, snapping out of his pre-nap state upon hearing about something related to productive work. "We can't let him get naked every time he turns into a giant and leave the Fred without clothes

Buying it seems impossible, so we'll have to make it custom.

Clothing is not my specialty, but if I can work with metal, fabric is child's play."

"I'll help you with the clothes, honey" Roxanne said, stroking Perona's head as she slept after eating beyond her limits. "Don't underestimate sewing..."

"But not only will he need clothes, David will also need equipment and weapons" Said Marlon, who was also resurrected after a long digestion like his son before asking the interested party "Do you use a specific weapon or do you only fight with your fists?"

This question caught the now tiny David by surprise. At one point he disconnected from any conversation by submerging himself in a sea of pastry cream. Only now did he realize that a conversation about him was happening.

"I'm not bad at hand-to-hand combat, but I'm better at using the shield and the spear... and I also know how to use the short sword." David responded while eating cake as if he were a hamster with magic cheeks. "Unfortunately I lost them during the shipwreck

But you don't have to..."

"THAT'S GOOD NEWS!

I'll be able to create custom ones for you with the best 100% metallic materials available!" Marlon interrupted, burning with so much passion that he began to burn the calories from dinner at a rate visible to the human eye. "I have never created swords, spears and shields of your size

I'm excited!"

"AND NOT ONLY WEAPONS!

I was thinking of making him armor like mine" Stephen exclaimed, burning with passion like his father, but drooling as he imagined his future and intricate dream project "With the size of that body I'll be able to integrate a lot of weapons of various sizes, which will shrink while maintaining their power just like with Hawky's ability

BUT THIS PROJECT LEAVES ME MUCH MORE CREATIVE FREEDOM!

IT'S ALMOST LIKE CREATING A MECHA!"

"I see that you have thought the same as me" Said Fred, joining the party while untransforming a notebook with which to start working. "I also have some interesting ideas to contribute to take advantage of the advantages of the Mini Mini No Mi and its brutal size with our technology"

Without any consideration for their surroundings, the trio of creative madmen began a crazy brainstorming in which they explored multiple ideas to increase David's combat power, taking almost no time to convert those disordered ideas into well-organized schemes, later into sketches and even began to speculate necessary production means and costs

All this without consulting the poor David, who upon hearing about the work involved in realizing those wonderful ideas and the millionaire investment they were planning for him, he began to eat faster due to anxiety.

"This...

Guys... all that sounds wonderful, cool and I appreciate it very much but... " Said David, whose voice and spoon were shaking while he ate cream to try to calm down "But...

All of that sounds very expensive and complicated to do...

No... I can't cause you so much inconvenience, much less when I just joined the group."

"Don't worry

These two love doing this kind of thing, so it doesn't bother them at all

All their worktime will be returned by increasing your offensive, defensive power and versatility in combat" "Fred said calmly as he continued with the designs with his two engineers, trying to dismissing David's concerns. "And don't worry about the price, we're quite rich.

You're literally traveling on a submarine of 1,165 million Berries"

However, all Fred managed to do was multiply his worries exponentially...

"PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!" For a poor man like David, hearing that high figure was a tremendous shock. So big that the cream from the cake he was eating began to come out of his nose like a geyser while he screamed. "¡WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!???

¡1.165 MILLONES DE BERRIES!!!??" 

The scream was so loud that it even woke up Perona, even if only partially, since she decided to manifest herself in a spectral form.

"I screamed the same way" Said Perona as she floated around Fred, Stephe and Marlon to look at their sketches. "And didn't reassure me to hear at all to know that that number doesn't include labor or many of the raw materials, since that Fred obtained them in other ways without having to buy them

Otherwise that number could have been multiplied several times... or so I was told..."

And certainly, as Perona said, that explanation didn't reassure him at all...

"1,165 Million... 1,165 Million... 1,165 Million...

How many millions of years would I need to work to amass that money?" David said, shivering while he bit his nails and even hyperventilated inside the dessert plate. He couldn't stop thinking about the value of the vehicle he was in and that now he barely dared to set foot on its floor "Ahh... ahhh... ahhh...

I'll be careful, too careful when touching anything...

Ahh… ahhh… ahhh…"

And although the symptoms David was displaying were worrying they were practically invisible to Fred and Stephen at the moment. They were too focused on planning their new pet project.

"The only problem in building the armor and the rest is space" Said Stephen, after finishing the overall fun approach to the project and beginning the tedious planning process, "We could possibly start right now, but I doubt we could build something of that magnitude aboard the Underwold or inside Hawky.

Maybe in parts, but it would be inefficient and very cumbersome...

I think it will be better to wait until we get to land to start the manufacturing process."

A simple comment with no other intention than to point out a fairly obvious fact shared by everyone... everyone except David, who found a certain part of that intervention that wasn't obvious at all.

"Wait...

Right now?

I'm not an expert, but...

Although the lack of space is an important factor, since I was born the main problem around me has always been the lack of resources" Said David, who was trying to translate what he had heard to obtain a message that was a little more coherent with his conception of the world. "Are you sure you will get that amount of materials in such a short time, even if you have the money to buy them?"

However, David's translation was incorrect, as it eliminated Stephen's true message, although David believed that his translation was more accurate and understandable.

"Oh, I think you've misunderstood.

We're not going to buy them" Fred responded as he corrected Stephen's prevision, giving more days of margin "We probably already have the key materials on board the submarine and if that's not the case we'll have them sooner or later without much effort"

"Huh?"

But that clarification didn't resolve his doubts, quite the opposite. David now had many more questions and felt infinitely more stupid, something that was perfectly reflected in his extremely cartoonish astonished face.

"It's a joke, right?"

It was common sense that there was no way to easily obtain the different types of steel that Stephen and Marlon had mentioned before without purchasing them.

At least from what David knew this submarine wasn't capable of mining in the depths of the ocean, not all the materials they needed were found on the seabed nor was it possible to mine industrial quantities anywhere in a short time and process those minerals in specialized alloys

STEEL DIDN'T GROW ON TREES! MUCH LESS INSIDE A VEHICLE! MUCH LESS UNDER THE SEA!

And even if it were possible, it was impossible to store all that amount of minerals inside a submarine whose space was totally optimized and practically occupied by the machinery that made it work. Much less along with the machinery to convert those minerals into technologically advanced armor to cover his 55 meter body.

It's common sense that each of those possibilities is… impossible, much less the combination of all of them at the same time...

However, looking at the serene expression of his new companions it seemed that he was the only one without common sense on this extremely expensive submarine, which seemed to make no sense to him, no matter how hard he tried to find it...

"Fred, I think we should show him the secret room" Stephen said, ready to interrupt his work before David released smoke out of his head. "He's already an official member and more than anyone else he should know this secret."

"True, at this rate he will ask me for sick leave on his first day" Fred responded, partly fascinated to see how the cook seemed to have turned into a teapot "Follow me David, but I'll have to stop for a moment to go to the bathroom... sorry..."

Following the instructions of his new boss, David slowly walked through some of the corridors of the Underworld with the rest of the crew and during that tour Fred explained more to the newcomer how his Life Life No Mi worked.

David had a pretty good idea of what kind of power Fred's Life Life No Mi possessed after seeing him create seemingly limitless food and wood, but he had no idea of all the applications and ramifications of that power

As a new employee at [FreedSteel] and first-time user of Akuma no mi, David become perplexed by the fascinating and numerous commercial and non-commercial applications his boss was able to create from a power that seemed so simple at first.

Knowing all these details not only made him respect Fred more as a warrior, ninja, scientist, businessman and as a boss, it also inspired him as Akuma No Mi user. If Fred had been able to invent so many applications of his power in such a short time David believed he could do it too, although his size reduction power might seem simpler and more limited.

But above all, he was able to resolve many of the doubts that few minutes ago overloaded his brain.

"Ok, now I understand why you told me you had no problem storing so many tons of metal... and it's fascinating." David said, with a cooler head but a faster heart as he understood this concept. "But I still don't understand how you can obtain the metals without buying them.

As I understand you can only create living beings violating the law of conservation of energy that you told me about."

"If you still don't understand it, it's because you haven't asked yourself the right question, but don't worry

I'll ask it for you shortly" Fred said to mini David. He was sitting on his left shoulder like a bird to make this class more comfortable "But to warm up...

Do you remember what happens to the medium when the being created from it's damaged?"

"Yes, the medium is damaged proportionally to how much damage the being created from him receives… and also recovers proportionally.

And this happens regardless of whether there has been hybridization or not" David responded while offering some food to Hawky, who was resting on the other shoulder. "I'm right?"

"You have paid enough attention to my classes padawan David, 10 out of 10.

But now we're going to inquire in this fact further" Fred responded, quite comfortable with his role as teacher and taxi as he walked through the corridors of his submarine. "In a hypothetical scenario...

What do you think would happen if I turned a chair into a normal dog, amputated the dog's leg, threw that amputated leg away, and reversed the transformation?"

A somewhat complicated... and cruel... question, but one that David was able to answer with relative ease.

"This...

I think the dog would become a chair again, but with one less leg and... that we'll find the missing chair leg in the place where the amputated dog leg landed." David said as he racked his brain to remember Professor Fred's recent but numerous lessons. "I'm wrong?"

"No, it was a perfect answer, good memory...

But now come some questions that aren't in the textbooks" Fred said slightly sadistically as he slowed his pace and with him the rest of the crew that wasn't sitting on his shoulders. "Hypothetically...

If before detransforming him back into a chair, I give the crippled dog a hypothetical serum... that I'm investigating... capable of making the amputated leg grow back and the leg actually grows...

What would happen when he became a chair again?

But this time the gifted student didn't know what to answer.

"...

...

This…" David stammered as he made several mental images of that event in his head over and over again, but without reaching any clear conclusion. This was liky a difficult logical problem within the quantum world, where relativistic logic has no place "No...

I don't know...maybe..."

"The same as in the previous case!

We'll have a three-legged chair and the severed leg a few meters further away.

We won't have four uncut legs and one severed leg." Fred replied, interrupting David and putting the matter to rest before smoke came out of his head again from overthinking and worrying too much. "That regenerated leg wasn't part of the initial formula before the creation of the living being.

That's why it simply won't be reflected in the medium, neither for better nor for worse."

A quite logical explanation within this illogical power that convinced the chef.

"...I see..." David stammered after understanding the resolution of that disappointing logical problem... before feeling a chill throughout his body when he dared to ask "But..."

"But...

What happens if the chair and dog are hybridized?

RIGHT?" Fred said, cockily interrupting the question that slowly induced David to ask it himself "HERE'S THE ANSWER!"

Fred stopped dead his tourist route through the submarine and placed his hand in front of an empty wall and the empty wall transformed into a set of vines that allowed them to enter the secret room behind that wall.

Behind those vines they saw a room with industrial conveyor belts and tanks full of Fred's revitalizing shakes and regenerating medicines. A room quite similar to the ammunition repair and distribution room if it weren't for the fact that at the origin of the conveyor belts rested huge metallic starfish connected to the medicine tanks and tied to something that looked like a torture platform 

"My hybridizations require an exact mass between the medium and the living being.

Thanks to that, they both share each other's properties at all times." Fred said as he advanced towards one of the giant starfish that he created with his power from a block the same metal with which the surface of the submarine was covered. "With hybridizations the bond between the medium and living being is stronger and has consequences during the transformation and also after, because both have been totally fused and remain fused all time"

After seeing the secret room and hearing this explanation, David didn't even need to see a practical demonstration to understand what was happening and what it meant.

"Oh... my... gods..."

But he still saw this practical demonstration.

A machine that expelled water at high pressure cut off one of the starfish's limbs after some struggle and that part fell onto the conveyor belt along with other limbs of metal starfish.

"The amputated parts still have their metallic properties after the amputation and the new regenerated parts also have them, something that wouldn't be possible without also increasing the mass of the original medium during the regeneration process" Fred said, waiting for the amputated limbs to reach the end of their journey. "And...

When this mass is detransformed, the medium persists in both the amputated and regenerated mass, thus obtaining valuable metals wherever we want with some patience."

When it reached the end of the route, Fred partially canceled the transformation and in this way, where there was of amputated limbs of metallic starfish now only metal remained.

Dozens of tons of metal piled up inside an industrial furnace

But now there wasn't just a single block of metal, but dozens of tons of metal piled up inside an industrial oven.

"…"

An oven that quickly increased its temperature to melt all those pieces of metal that were previously starfish to transform them into more uniform and functional ingots

"The increase in the mass of the medium also occurs with the natural growth of the living being."

Not only with the amputations and regeneration, but the latter is the one that gives me the least work for now" Fred said continuing his explanation with David still on his shoulder. "The most efficient way would be to carry out this process of hybridization and collection with trees, but it's extremely difficult to grow them inside a submarine, so starfish are our substitute product.

They regenerate very quickly naturally and even more so with my concoctions"

The different substances stored in the tanks flowed to the starfish and these facilitated their natural process of regeneration of amputated parts.

"…"

And right in front of David's stunned face and extremely open mouth the metallic limbs of the starfish began to regenerate, accelerating a process that would normally take dozens of days into a few dozen minutes.

"It would be perfect if this wonder could be extended to the ability to reproduce as well, but unfortunately that's not the case…" Fred said with quite sadness and regret. "The properties of the medium aren't passed on intergenerationally in the lineage factor 

Just like with the Akuma No Mi...

No matter how much I experimented with plants or insects, the beings that were born were 100% organic.

It's a shame not to be able to propagate such beneficial species without having to act directly, but I guess nothing is perfect."

Nothing was perfect in this world, but for Marlon and Stephen this room was heaven on earth

"…"

Every few hours, in a self-sufficient way, they were able to obtain infinite ingots of the most valuable, impressive and rare metals at practically zero cost.

Could there be anything more wonderful than this for a Steel?

"With some patience, my invigorating shakes and methods to increase the speed of regeneration, growth and some pedalling we can obtain any non-living matter we want... and obtaining living ones is even easier for me" Said Fred, finishing his job as a tour guide. "As you can see, Mr. David, we won't have any problem obtaining the necessary resources to create your armor in the same way in the same way that we have had no problems creating this enormous submarine with the best, most expensive and scarce metals in the world

Except for the fucking Kairōseki!

I would kill to have just one piece…"

But once again...

"…"

David didn't answer... 

He seemed to be very impressed by what he had just seen, so much so that his mouth was so open that his jaw was touching Fred's feet

And that's taking into account that David's tiny body was sitting on Fred's shoulder!

It was unknown whether this feat was due to a surreal One Piece cartoon or one of the effects of a Mini Mini No Mi user after a strong impression.

However, the message was the same, he was impressed

"I know, it's so impressive that you've been left speechless" Said Fred, satisfied when he saw David's stunned face, almost the same as Stephen and Marlon's when he first showed them this possibility. "Just like you're doing now not talking, try to keep this as a secret

I'll attract a lot of attention by showing that I can create living matter in a practically unlimited way, I don't want to attract too much attention by showing that my production capabilities have no limit"

"..."

"David?" Fred said, worried by the lack of response from David, who didn't even blink. "Say something, I'd like to have your feedback too."

"..."

"David?" Said Perona said, who climbed over Fred's shoulder to put her hand in front of his face. "Are you okay?"

But David didn't respond to any physical stimulation.

"…"

He looked petrified, almost like Sanji when he saw Boa Hancock.

"He has fainted…" Said Fred, the submarine doctor, after checking David's vital signs. "He couldn't bear the shock of seeing so much possibility of material abundance.

But don't worry, he's breathing normally."

"STEEL-STEEL-STEEL!

What a funny guy," Said Marlon, crying tears of laughter as he hugged one of the metal ingots stored in the room before Fred packed them up with his power "Look at him, fainting over something like that…"

"I want to remember that when you saw this you suffered a brutal nosebleed from excitement" Roxanne said while holding mini David as if he were a rigid doll that was doing the doggy submission pose "If Fred couldn't create compatible blood in industrial quantities you would have died several times"

"Probably....

But we didn't faint... at least not from shock," Stephen stressed, quickly changing the subject so as not to dwell on his almost immediate embarrassing past. "And what do we do now with David?"

"I wanted to talk to him about his training regime, his tasks and why we'll need him to develop new projects, but…" Replied Fred, who for a change put aside his productive streak to embrace a more human point of view. "Well, let's let him rest…

A lot of things have happened to him today."

"Yes! You're right!" Said Perona, who celebrated this point of view and quickly took mini David in his hands to leave that place with him as soon as possible. "If you don't mind, I'll take David to his room and..."

However, Perona couldn't take even two steps before rising from the ground... but not because she suddenly learned to use the Horo Horo No Mi to fly freely with her own body.

But because Fred grabbed her by his incredible red hair to prevent her from escaping from him!

"Where do you think you're going young lady?" Said Fred, who abandoned his more human to bring out the severe and hyperproductive demon that born inside him over the years. "You may have shied away from cooking from now on, but not from training, studying and cleaning.

Did you think I forgot that you haven't done anything today!?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
