"Devil Fruits are the greatest 'feature' of this world. People who consume them will gain corresponding superpowers, thus becoming 'devils,' known as Ability Users," Reyno said, taking the question Pain threw out.
"As everyone knows… Devil Fruits are divided into three major types: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan… So, among these three types… which are the strongest fruits in each?"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Reyno continued, "According to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia… the strongest Logia is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit of Eneru, the God of Sky Island, who was once defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates… The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as the name suggests… its Ability User transforms into lightning… possesses extremely high voltage and the ability to move instantaneously, and can also create lightning weather…"
"Coupled with Eneru's Observation Haki… he could even be considered a Four Emperors-level character in the New World… It's just that this person has always been holed up on Sky Island, not caring about worldly affairs… Later, he met his natural enemy, Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates, who had the Gum-Gum Fruit, and narrowly lost."
After finishing the first one, Reyno took a sip of coffee and continued, "The strongest Zoan is the Mythical Zoan… Zoan is a very special type of Devil Fruit… unlike Logia and Paramecia, which are relatively straightforward, where what fruit it is dictates what effect it has, Zoan also has a legendary category—the Mythical Zoan."
"The Mythical Zoan Phoenix was consumed by Marco, the First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates… He resembles an immortal Phoenix, or rather, transforms into a Phoenix…"
"Marco's Mythical Zoan possesses super strong regenerative abilities. As for how fast the regeneration is… Marco's regeneration speed is almost on par with Admiral Kizaru's light-speed attacks."
After discussing Zoan, Reyno continued to talk about Paramecia.
"The strongest Paramecia are Senior Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Admiral Fujitora's unknown fruit…" Reyno's tone was naturally respectful when he mentioned Whitebeard.
"Senior Whitebeard, once known as the strongest man in the world, possessed the strongest Paramecia fruit—the Tremor-Tremor Fruit… However, its current Ability User is Blackbeard…"
"There's a very important detail… the Tremor-Tremor Fruit attacks enemies by vibrating the medium, not by directly vibrating the enemy's body… In its Awakening state, it might be able to directly vibrate and tear apart an enemy's body…"
"During the Marineford War, when Senior Whitebeard attacked Akainu, Senior Whitebeard vibrated the air around Akainu, without directly touching Akainu…"
"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is a fruit that can destroy the world… The tsunamis and earthquakes it triggers can easily wipe out its location in an instant…"
"There is another fruit that can also come with destructive power, and that is Fujitora's fruit…"
"Although its name is currently unknown, it can be seen that he is a Paramecia Devil Fruit Ability User… He can freely control gravity… and even summon meteorites from the Universe… To this day, no one has been able to make Fujitora go all out…"
After Reyno finished introducing the top fruits of the three types, he listed the Devil Fruit abilities of three of the Four Emperors and the Three Admirals, then asked about the abilities of the fruits in Pain's hand.
"Pain… What are the characteristics of the fruits in your hand?"
Pain recalled the battle at the time and replied, "One can open doors in space… and one can create many bubbles." Reyno heard Pain's answer and continued, "These are the Door-Door Fruit and the Bubble-Bubble Fruit…"
"The Door-Door Fruit can open doors anywhere for free entry and exit… The places where doors can be opened include the air, flames, and even on people's bodies, etc…"
"No matter how hard or formless the location (such as flames or air), a door can be created…"
"The Door-Door Fruit can create different types, sizes, and shapes of doors according to the user's will… such as sliding doors, push doors, or even revolving doors… The Ability User themselves can also become a door…"
"The essence of this fruit's ability lies in being able to move freely in space. As long as a door is opened in the atmosphere, a green alternate dimension can be created…"
"People other than the Ability User can also enter this alternate dimension for spatial movement… The space itself can also serve as a place for emergency shelter…"
"Once the created door is closed, the opened part will return to its original state without leaving any trace… In battle, if you can't win, you can open a door to another space… to evade enemy attacks…"
Reyno stated the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia's" record of the Door-Door Fruit and suggested,
"Pain… The Door-Door Fruit's ability is not weak… it's a type of spatial ability… I suggest you use it…" Reyno finished his suggestion and then talked about the Bubble-Bubble Fruit.
"The Bubble-Bubble Fruit is a type of Paramecia Devil Fruit… After eating it, the whole body can produce bubbles that can wash away anything (including power)…"
"It can also make objects that have been touched incredibly smooth… The fruit's appearance is purple… and its taste is hard to swallow… but I don't understand why the Bubble-Bubble Fruit you extracted turned into a rainbow color…"
After Reyno finished explaining, he took another sip of coffee and waited for Pain to speak.
"I understand what you mean… I will have the Human Path consume the Door-Door Fruit…"
After listening to Reyno's explanation, Pain had a new understanding of the Door-Door Fruit and decided to let the Human Path use it, but he still didn't know how to deal with the Bubble-Bubble Fruit. After some thought, Pain had an answer. Pain turned to look at Konan and asked,
"Konan… are you willing to consume a Devil Fruit?"
Konan didn't expect Pain to intend for her to consume a Devil Fruit, and she looked at Pain with some surprise and replied,
"Ah… yes… I also quite like the Bubble-Bubble Fruit's ability…"
Women love cleanliness and beauty. The Bubble-Bubble Fruit could make Konan's body cleaner and her skin smoother, which most women wouldn't refuse. Although the side effect was not being able to swim, Konan didn't mind. Pain heard Konan's answer and casually pushed the Bubble-Bubble Fruit in front of Konan. Konan wasn't pretentious; she grabbed the rainbow-colored Devil Fruit and took a bite.
Konan, who hadn't paid much attention to Reyno's comment about the "unpalatable taste," ate the Devil Fruit with a pained expression.
Konan, with the mindset of 'short Pain is better than long Pain,' finished the entire Devil Fruit in a few bites. After swallowing, her face turned purple, and she dry-heaved. Pain looked at Konan's uncomfortable expression with some heartache, while Reyno, a bit gleefully, added,
"Um… Konan… you actually don't have to eat the whole thing…"
"Hehe… haha… hehe…"
After Reyno finished speaking, he looked at Konan with an awkward smile. Konan shot him a murderous glare, as if to say, 'Why didn't you say so earlier?' While feeling uncomfortable after eating the Devil Fruit, Konan carefully sensed the changes in her body, wanting to experience what was different.
Reyno kindly reminded her, "Devil Fruits are controlled by will… what your heart desires is where the ability lies…"
Konan did as Reyno said, and before Reyno could react, he was sealed in a rainbow-colored bubble, feeling weak all over. Reyno tried to flash out but couldn't. Konan stared at Reyno trapped in the bubble and laughed happily. Konan's original intention was to use bubbles to play a prank and get back at Reyno for not reminding her earlier, and as soon as the thought emerged, Reyno was trapped in the rainbow-colored bubble, feeling weak all over.
Pain and the others, seeing this scene, exchanged glances, deep in thought. The meaning in that glance was clearest to Pain and Oden; Kalifa's usage before didn't have this speed and ability. If it had, the outcome of that battle would have been truly hard to say. Pain thought of a possibility and had Konan release Reyno before speaking,
"Reyno… The Devil Fruit Konan ate, although it also has bubble abilities… seems different from what the Human Path used when he was alive… Is it possible for Devil Fruits to mutate?"
After Reyno was released, he slumped into his seat. Hearing Pain's question, he was also surprised internally. He collected his thoughts and replied, "The Bubble-Bubble Fruit's ability shouldn't be this strong… it definitely doesn't have the ability to instantly control someone… I also don't understand what's going on…"
Reyno paused and continued, "Now there's only one possibility… Pain, the fruits you extract using your ability might have a chance to cause the fruits to mutate… I can't figure out the specific reason… but this is the closest possibility!"
Pain and Konan heard Reyno's answer and knew that the reason couldn't be figured out now. The specific reason would only be seen later. In any case, this was a good thing for Konan, so Pain no longer dwelled on it. Instead, he told Konan to explore her abilities more in the future, and as for test subjects, Reyno was a good choice. Reyno heard the decision of the couple, his face full of black lines…
