One Piece: I Upgraded the Strongest Man in the World

Chapter 56: They Really All Became Devil Fruit Users!

  • Next Chapter

Ron swept his gaze across the area and saw the dense crowd gathered behind him. He Felt a little troubled.

After all, there were only four Devil Fruits available, yet so many people were eager to obtain this power.

"Alright, it looks like everyone is interested in Kizaru’s abilities, huh?" Ron cleared his throat, trying to break the silence. "Unfortunately, we only have four fruits to distribute. That means we’ll have to choose four lucky people from among you."

The moment he finished speaking, the crowd erupted into commotion. Everyone wanted to be one of the chosen few.

Ron carefully examined the crowd before finally making his decision.

"Dellagi !"

The first person whose name was called nearly jumped with excitement as he stepped forward, his face overflowing with joy.

Then came the second name, the third...

Until finally, the last name was called.

"Izou."

The entire area burst into another uproar.

The four selected individuals were visibly excited. They knew that obtaining powers through replicated Devil Fruits had an almost perfect success rate. Failure was practically impossible.

For them, this was a rare opportunity—one that could completely change their fate.

"None of you already have Devil Fruit powers?" Ron asked curiously. "You’ve never come across a Devil Fruit before?"

"No. Devil Fruits are far too rare."

One of them shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice.

In this dangerous and unpredictable world, possessing a powerful Devil Fruit was the dream of countless people, but very few ever had the chance to obtain one.

"I have!" another suddenly said, sounding somewhat proud. "But it’s a Zoan-type. A horse. Honestly, I’d be better off without it."

He scratched his head with a bitter smile, clearly dissatisfied with his ability.

While transforming into a powerful, fast horse sounded useful on paper, it often lacked practical combat value—especially when facing enemies with far stronger or more specialized powers.

"Yeah, same here. I’m a Zoan user too. Pretty underwhelming."

The third person nodded in agreement.

"How could it compare to the Glint-Glint Fruit(The Pika Pika no Mi)?"

A trace of envy flashed across his eyes as he spoke.

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Glint-Glint Fruit allowed its user to become light itself, rendering most physical attacks ineffective while granting unparalleled speed and mobility. It was practically an overwhelming power on the battlefield.

After thinking for a moment, Izou finally made his choice.

"I’ll take the Rumble-Rumble Fruit(The Goro Goro no Mi)."

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit not only granted control over lightning, but it was also a Logia-type Devil Fruit. Once fully developed, its power was immense enough to influence the weather over an entire region.

Its potential was extraordinary.

For someone hungry for strength and determined to carve out a place in this chaotic world, it was undoubtedly one of the best choices available.

Ron nodded slowly.

As expected, most people still preferred Logia-type abilities.

He then turned toward a pure white Devil Fruit that emitted a mysterious and enticing aura.

Carefully, he squeezed a drop of blood from the vial.

The crimson droplet shimmered faintly in the air, as though it contained limitless power.

Gently, he let the blood fall onto the Devil Fruit.

Instantly—

Ripples spread across the fruit’s surface.

A moment later, Enel was forcibly dragged in front of the fruit.

His face was filled with reluctance and fear, but under everyone’s watchful eyes, he had no choice but to cooperate.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Enel squeezed out a drop of blood as well.

Unlike Ron’s, this droplet carried traces of crackling lightning.

The instant it touched the Devil Fruit, a dramatic transformation began.

The fruit’s pure white exterior gradually changed color, eventually becoming a brilliant azure blue covered in intricate, mysterious patterns.

The markings resembled ancient runes and radiated powerful energy.

Even more astonishing, arcs of electricity began dancing around the fruit, filling the surrounding space with crackling lightning.

"That’s... the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

Someone cried out in shock.

As the transformation completed, excitement swept through the room.

After carefully inspecting the newly created Devil Fruit and confirming everything was successful, Ron nodded in satisfaction and signaled everyone to begin.

"Heh, I’m first!"

"No, I am!"

"Move aside!"

"Damn it! That bastard already swallowed it!"

Nobody cared about the Devil Fruit’s notoriously disgusting taste anymore.

Like starving wolves lunging at prey, they took huge bites without hesitation.

One of the Division Commanders was so worried about the success rate that he simply swallowed the entire Devil Fruit in one go.

The sight was utterly ridiculous.

Ron stared in disbelief before giving a thumbs-up.

These commanders were truly ruthless.

Everyone’s eyes remained fixed on the four brave volunteers, eagerly awaiting a miracle.

Even their breathing seemed to slow.

The atmosphere was tense yet filled with anticipation as every person held their breath, waiting for the final result.

The next moment—

The four men’s expressions exploded with excitement.

Pure joy overflowed from their faces.

It was as if they had just discovered a new world.

"I can feel it! It’s light! The power of light!"

One of them shouted.

His voice trembled with disbelief and excitement as he stared at his own hands.

"Hahaha! Laser!"

Another burst into laughter.

The moment he spoke, a dazzling beam of light shot from his fingertip, streaking across the sky toward the distant clouds.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the heavens.

The beam slammed into a massive cloud bank, instantly tearing it apart.

A huge section of the clouds scattered and vanished, leaving behind a patch of clear blue sky.

"Gasp... The destructive power is incredible!"

Someone in the crowd couldn’t help exclaiming.

Everyone looked up at the sky, witnessing the miraculous scene with shock and envy.

They had really all become Devil Fruit Users...
