The treasure resting quietly in the vault was a white, banana-shaped fruit with feather-like patterns. Arthur immediately lost i.

  Banana-shaped fruits were almost always Zoan-type, utterly useless. Aside from Mythical Zoans, which were even rarer than Logia-types, Arthur had no i in any Zoan fruits.

  He didn't think his luck was that extraordinary, getting the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and then a Mythical Zht after.

  "I robbed Enel of his destiny—so I'll pensate him with this fruit," Arthur mused, stroking his . He sidered himself a benevolent person.

  Mood dictates a!

  Arthur was in an exceptionally good mood, making decisions based on his whims.

  He was gradually being more urained—his as carrying a sense of casualness. When his spirit was strong enough—he was sure his queror's Haki would awaken as well.

  Reborn into the Seabury family, bearing the initial "D" in his name, being the natural enemy of God, his destiny was already extraordinary. He possessed the qualities of a king. As long as he nurtured his spirit—awakening queror's Haki would be a ch.

  ...

  Tug the white Zoan fruit into his clothes, Arthur flew out of the hole he'd bsted.

  The a ship was being steadily swallowed by the encroag seawater and clouds. It was at its end, about to sink at any moment. But Arthur wouldn't fet it. It was here that he had obtaihe power that would influence his life forever.

  H in the air—Arthur watched solemnly as the giant ship was devoured by the sea. Theuro the Waver, parked not far away.

  The Rumble-Rumble Fruit granted flight and the ability to stay airborne for extended periods. But long-distance flight would drain his stamina.

  Recalling the trials and tributions of the past year, all his efforts had finally yielded a bountiful reward. A smile touched Arthur's lips as he piloted the Waver back towards Birka.

  ", I o get the blueprints for the 'Ark Maxim' from Birka. There are n fighters on the isnd—No one stop me."

  Arthur didn't care if Enel could return to the—Endless Vearth, iure. pensating him with a Zoan Devil Fruit was already a great kindness. What more could he want, a bicycle?

  "After I get Maxim's blueprints, should I focus on developing my fruit powers for a while, or directly attack Upper Yard? All that gold up there won't run away. I should train first. Strength is the foundation of everything," he pondered silently.

  Even though the Rumble-Rumble Fruit allowed for elementalization, making him untouchable to those without Armament Haki, maintaining that form required stamina.

  Arthur didn't know how many guards were on Upper Yard, so he decided to postpone his attack.

  He wouldn't uimate the power of Logia fruits as being invincible. If he became that arrogant, he wouldn't know how he died iure.

  Ace thought the same when he first set sail. He fought Warlord Jinbe for five days and five nights, believing himself to be invincible.

  Then he foolishly challenged Whitebeard. If it weren't for Whitebeard's magnanimous spirit—not taking him seriously, Ace would have been crushed with a single quake-punch.

  He was lucky he didn't challenge Big Mom or Kaido. Otherwise—he wouldn't have even made it to the Summit War. He would've been instantly killed.

  The Waver sped in the dire he had e from. He didn't o waste any time. In just half a day, Birka was in sight.

  Arthur leaped, s into the sky, his body transf into lightning as he flew.

  Flying now felt like an instino training required.

  He desded as a bolt of lightning, nding in front of Enel's house. He snu silently.

  ...

  It was midday. Every household was starting to cook lunch. There were few people oreets. No one could see him.

  Enel was no exception. He was i, preparing his meager meal.

  He had no means of produ. He could only sge for fish and shrimp on the beach or steal some food.

  Arthur took out the Devil Fruit. While Enel wasn't looking, he pced it in the apple basket nearby.

  Enel's favorite food les. He occasionally ate bananas too. He would surely see it soon.

  Arthur hid behind the door, watg him through the crack. He didn't leave immediately because he wao see what that fruit's power was.

  Enel was pletely oblivious. He finished his fish, let out a satisfied burp, and reached into the basket.

  However, he didn't pull out a round apple as usual. Instead, he pulled out a banana-shaped object.

  "What kind of fruit is this? A banana?" Enel was surprised, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

  There was no oo answer him. He was just asking himself.

  He peeled the white skin, revealing the patterned flesh inside. Enel looked disgusted. But he thought about how he had no food to waste, so he decided to eat this "banana."

  He wolfed it down.

  As Arthur expected, Enel couldn't stand the anti-human taste of the Devil Fruit. In fao living creature could.

  He vomited until bile came up. Finally, he recovered. But then, something strange happened...

  The clothes on Enel's back bulged. It was as if something was about to burst out.

  "Rip!"

  His clothes tore open. A pair of pure white wings emerged from his back, just like the Skypieans, but several times rger.

  "Zoan Mythical type, Human-Human Fruit—Angel Form?" Arthur was startled. He felt cheated. If it really was a Mythical Zoan, he wouldn't have been willing to give it away. Good things should be kept for oneself, even if they rotted, rather than given to others, uhey were family.

  Then, he frowned. "No, it might be another form of the Bird-Bird Fruit!"

  After all, just because it had wings didn't make it a Mythical Zoan. Most Bird-Bird Fruit users had wings.

  Enel's transformation tinued. After growing huge wings, his face began to ge.

  His earlobes gradually retracted, turning into a pair of horse ears. His face began to elongate. Soon, he had an incredibly long horse face. Even his limbs showed signs of transf into hooves.

  "Isn't this—the Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit, Pegasus Form, eaten by the sky bird that is the mount of the God of Skypiea—Gan Fall?"

  Arthur was stunned, staring wide-eyed as Enel showed signs of transf into a Pegasus.

  But he was still young. His body was not fully developed. He was also malnourished. He didn't have the stamina to plete the transformation.

  After just a minute, he reverted to his human form, colpsing on the ground, panting heavily.

  "That makes sehere are only two Devil Fruits on Sky Isnd. I ate ohis is the other one. Gan Fall's bird wasn't lucky enough to get it."

  It had been a long time since 1520. It erfectly normal that the sky bird haden the fruit yet.
