That night, Lepus went alone to infiltrate Shiki's headquarters.

Some time later, Lepus arrived at Shiki's headquarters in Merveille.

Lepus then observe the situation from inside the gap. Before long, Lepus knew where the storage room was and headed for it. Arriving in the storage room, still inside the gap Lepus then examined the entire room.

Inside the storage room, Lepus saw that there were various valuables. However, there are only a few that make Lepus very interested and curious. Namely, 5 small chests and a nodachi sword. Lepus strongly suspected that the 5 small chests contained devil fruits. While that nodachi sword is one of Meitou.

But, Lepus also saw in the corners of the room there were Den Den Mushi surveillance. So, Lepus didn't rush out and first used his Boundary power to make himself invisible.

"Visible-Invisible Boundary!"

After that, Lepus smirked and without much hesitation swept all the items in the storage room and put them in the gap.

After everything is done, Lepus then returns to the gap and disappears.

Back to a few moments ago, the officers in the surveillance room at Shiki's headquarters could only be dumbfounded to see the treasure storage room was being robbed by 'Ghost'.

They then quickly report this 'supernatural' incident to the head of security surveillance. Then the head of security reported to Dr. Indigo. And after seeing the surveillance recording, Dr. Indigo rushed to report to Shiki.

Dr. Indigo who is a blue-haired, pale-skinned man with a strange appearance like a clown, entered the room where Shiki was. Then, not far in front of Shiki he did some strange gestures and movements.

Shiki who was nicknamed the Golden Lion because of his long golden yellow hair like a lion's mane, did not understand why suddenly Dr. Indigo comes into his room and gestures what he is doing. Shiki frowned and said to Dr. Indigo.

"If you want to talk, just say it directly Dr. Indigo...."

Dr. Indigo finally spoke.

"Shiki-sama! The treasure storage room was robbed!"

"Hah!? Robbed!? How could be!? Said it from the start, you idiot!"

Shiki was very surprised to hear the report from Dr. Indigo.

Dr. Indigo then explained what happened.

"We didn't understand either.... In the surveillance footage, we only saw a strange purple-black tear suddenly appear in the storage room, and then the treasures in the storage room floated into the space tear!"

"What!? We're going there!"

Shiki was even more surprised and astonished after hearing the explanation of the incident. Then they went to the treasure room.

Before long, they arrived at the door of the treasure room. And they saw that the door was clearly still locked and there was no sign of tampering.

"It's clearly locked. How did the robbers get in?"

Dr. Indigo wondered.

"How did I know!?"

Shiki snapped slightly then unlocked the door of the treasure room.

And when the door opened, all they saw was... emptiness. All the treasures in the room was gone! Not a thing left!

""Gaa....!""

Seeing everything drained away, Shiki and Dr. Indigo jaw-dropped.

Some time later, Lepus, who was still in the gap, began to examine his loot.

Lepus opens the 5 locked small chests using his Boundary ability.

"Open-Close Boundary!"

And so, the five small chests were finally opened!

And when Lepus saw the contents, Lepus' assumption was correct. It contains devil fruits! Each devil fruit is differently colored as cream, orange, light blue, pink-purple, and one with black-and-white stripes. And their form are different too.

But the most surprising thing is the pink-purple one probably a Logia! Lepus concluded it as Logia from the shape of its surface which looks like pink-purple glass/crystal lotus. And even if it's not Logia, it's probably Special Paramecia!

"Nice!"

Lepus nodded in satisfaction.

Then Lepus took the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and found out if any of the 5 devil fruits were identified here.

Shortly after, Lepus found the two identified. Namely the oval cream-colored devil fruit and the light blue colored shaped like water drop.

"Hmm.... Amo Amo no Mi. The ability to make ammunition from any material, huh. This suits Sera.... And the other one, Chiri Chiri no Mi or cold temperature Paramecia."

Except the Amo Amo no Mi and Chiri Chiri no Mi, other fruits including the suspected Logia were not identified in the Encylopedia yet.

Then Lepus remembered the devil fruits he got while on the island where he met Hancock and on Kuraigana Island. He took out the two devil fruits. They are both Zoan types. The dark gray pyramid-shaped devil fruit found on the island where Lepus met Hancock is the Hebi Hebi no Mi: Dragonsnake. While the devil fruit like a turquoise durian found on Kuraigana Island is the Nezu Nezu no Mi: Porcupine.

Then, Lepus didn't forget to check the black nodachi sword he got and try to identify it with the Sword Catalog.

And after being examined, Lepus' previous assumption was correct! That nodachi sword is one of Meitou! And the most surprising thing is that the nodachi is a Kokuto or black sword and one of the 12 Saijo O Wazamono, Oborozuki!

Just the fact that the nodachi, Oborozuki, is a kokuto or black sword alone is enough to prove that the sword is very strong and sturdy, let alone the fact that it is one of the 12 Saijou O Wazamono which is predicated as the 12 strongest and best swords in the world!

Lepus was even more satisfied with the loot this time.

"Hehaha.... It's not wrong if Kinjishi no Shiki is considered one of the strongest and greatest pirates and former Yonkou with a bounty of 3.444.000.000 Berries. Just his collection of treasures is enough to prove that."

Lepus then returned to the Jormungandr and rested.
