On Jaya Island.
Ron was called over by an excited Ace, feeling a bit annoyed as he was playing poker and being interrupted was really annoying.
When he walked into the hall, the scene before him surprised him slightly.
Most of the division commanders had already gathered here, their mouths stretched to their ears, faces beaming with undisguised joy.
This atmosphere filled the entire space with excitement, clearly something big was about to happen or had already happened.
"What's the good news? Everyone looks so happy."
Marco played coy, mysteriously clapping his hands.
With his action, an air of anticipation seemed to permeate the atmosphere.
Then, several strong porters walked in from outside, each carrying a huge box on their shoulders.
These boxes looked heavy, obviously containing quite a lot of things inside.
Following instructions, the porters carefully placed these large boxes on the ground, arranging them in neat rows one after another and they began counting it, there were actually over a hundred boxes!
Ron was a bit shocked and immediately guessed something.
"Marco, these can't be... can't all be..."
"Haha, you guessed right our beloved Vice Captain!"
After all the boxes were in place, Marco waved his hand again, signaling they could begin.
At his command, all the boxes were opened almost simultaneously, their lids slowly lifting to reveal the dazzling contents inside.
Instantly, the entire space was filled with glittering treasures.
Gold, diamonds, gems, and all kinds of precious stones came into view, shimmering brilliantly under the lights.
A huge wave surged in Ron's heart as he stood there, staring at the scene before him in amazement.
This was the first time in his life he had seen such a huge piles treasure, each piece radiating an irresistible charm.
Gold jewelry, weapons decorated with precious gems and all kinds of treasures... if these things were placed in the earth of his previous life, their value would be simply incalculable.
"My god..." Ron couldn't help but exclaim softly, "All these things added up must be worth at least tens of billions of berries!"
His voice was full of shock and disbelief.
For anyone, facing such an enormous fortune would be incredibly overwhelming, let alone someone like Ron who's experiencing this scene for the first time.
"Haha, Vice Captain is right, these things are worth about 30 billion berries!" Vista was also very excited, his eyes full of longing.
"We plan to enchant all the division commanders with Pops' ability at once!"
"All division commanders?"
"Yes!"
Ron frowned slightly, "Even if these treasures are worth 30 billion berries, with one enchanted Devil Fruit costing 1 billion berries, we can only make thirty of it."
The others listened attentively, not wanting to miss a word.
"Enchanted devil fruit has a chance of failure. Counting three successes for every one, we can only enchant ten people..."
Ron sighed a bit, feeling that 30 billion berries was just a drop in the bucket in front of the money-burning system.
"Vice Captain, don't be so pessimistic. We're not all going to have such bad luck. What if we only need twenty enchanted Devil Fruits to succeed?" Vista encouraged, seeming eager to try.
Jozu also stood up, his gaze determined, "Pops succeeded in just one try. I believe our luck won't be that bad!"
"Yes, Vice Captain, thank you for your hard work! Now please start making them!"
"I believe in our luck!"
"Thank you for your efforts, Vice Captain!"
Everyone looked at Ron with face full of hope.
Ron was also happy to see them succeed.
After all, eight more people needed to successfully finished his mission!
At that time, a new tech would be unlocked by the system!
"Alright! Whether it takes half a month or a month, I'll work overtime to make them! Just wait for my good news!"
Ron looked at the excited crowd and made his promise.
"Also, if any of you want another devil fruit abilities, you can collect the other person's blood within a month! One drop is enough for one fruit!"
With that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
He couldn't wait to know what the next technology from the system would be!
*****
These days Jaya Island has been very peaceful.
Hearing that a Yonko pirate crew was stationed here, no one dared to come anymore.
So, it was now very quiet here.
The division commanders also had nothing to do, often gathering to chat and fantasize about becoming the users of three, four, or even five Devil Fruit abilities in the future!
That must be so cool!
Just then, a pirate suddenly ran in from outside in a panic,
"Not good, Admiral Aokiji is here!"
Marco was the first to stand up, he asked the pirate while frowning.
"What? Aokiji is here? How many people did he bring?"
"Not many, just... he came by himself."
"Hm?"
This time it was Marco's turn to be surprised.
"Pops, Aokiji came alone. It seems he wasn't sent by the Marines, perhaps he's just passing by."
Whitebeard put down his large bowl, his eyes cold as he speak.
"What is Aokiji doing here? Doesn't he know this is already Whitebeard Pirates' territory?"
Ace also frowned, but then his eyes lit up.
"Pops, it's perfect timing that Aokiji came!"
"What do you mean? You want to..." Whitebeard immediately understood Ace's meaning and at the same time, the others also realized, their eyes suddenly gleaming with mischief!
"Pops, let me go meet the Admiral. I haven't fought an Admiral yet." Ace said excitedly.
"No, no, i want to go too." Jozu immediately stood up, indicating he wanted to go too.
After all, they need a devil fruit users blood now!
Aokiji was a Logia type.
Who wouldn't want a Logia Devil Fruit ability?!
"Haha, my flower sword has been itching for action!"
Vista placed his hands on the twin swords at his waist, his gaze sweeping across everyone.
He must go to this battle!
"Gurarararara, you brats." Whitebeard continued to pick up his large sake bowl.
With these sons of his, there was no need for him to make a move, so he might as well continue drinking.
"Do as you please, just don't disturb my drinking."
Hearing Whitebeard's words, a group of division commanders could no longer contain themselves.
As if rockets were tied to their feet, they rushed out the door at extreme speed, their target: Aokiji!
Seeing these lively scene, Marco shook his head with a smile, "Pops, I'll stay here and drink with you."
"You're not going?" Whitebeard drained the large bowl of sake in one gulp and looked at Marco.
"Aokiji's ability is very powerful, but I don't want it."
