After Kizaru finished speaking, he immediately use the anywhere door to Impel Down.
He returned in the blink of an eye while holding a prisoner.
"Huh?" Leon was stunned.
He couldn't help but laugh; he didn't expect it to be this person.
It was unbelievable that it was Buggy the Clown who had been brought here by Kizaru!
Buggy was trembling.
He was in the presence of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and the three Admirals—the entire top brass of the Marines.
Adding to his terror was a strange robot in the room and the fact that an Admiral had personally retrieved him.
"What's your name? What's your ability?" Sengoku asked bluntly, looking at Buggy.
"M-my name is Buggy, and I have the Chop-Chop Fruit ability," Buggy stammered.
"Okay, demonstrate it for me!" Sengoku ordered.
"Yes..."
The terrified Buggy didn't dare to disobey.
He immediately showed off his ability, splitting his body into several pieces.
"Is that all?" Sengoku frowned, shaking his head.
This Devil Fruit ability was truly disappointing.
"Forget it, eat this!"
"Oh?" Buggy didn't expect that.
He looked at the apple-shaped fruit with its distinct spiral pattern and immediately began shaking his head.
"That's a Devil Fruit!" he shrieked. "No, no, no! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do you want me to die!" Buggy collapsed to the ground, crying in terror.
"I'm going to die! I don't want it!"
Seeing Buggy's refusal, Akainu stepped forward with his grim face.
He immediately grabbed Buggy and the fruit.
"Pirate! You have no right to choose!" he growled, forcing the Devil Fruit into Buggy's mouth.
"AHHHHHH—" Buggy screamed, wiping away his tears and snot and crying about his tragic fate.
He was so distraught that he didn't notice the stunned expressions on Sengoku and the others' faces.
"Nothing happened! He didn't explode?"
"Is this real?!"
"Alright, alright, you're still alive, aren't you? See if you have any new abilities!" Sengoku scolded him, snapping Buggy out of his panic.
Buggy realized he hadn't exploded and looked at his body.
Suddenly, he began to change.
His body grew rapidly.
His ears became thin, his limbs became thick and his red nose became incredibly long.
He even grew two huge tusks.
He had transformed into a giant mammoth!
"What's going on?!" Buggy exclaimed in shock.
Everyone present—Sengoku, the Admirals, and even Garp—had looks of horror on their faces.
"It actually worked! This second Devil Fruit is real!" Sengoku reacted with a mix of shock and wild joy.
Buggy's transformation proved Leon's invention was a success.
Not only that, he now possessed the power of a rare Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.
This was incredible!
"This is amazing!" Garp's jaw nearly dropped.
Kizaru smiled. "I knew it! Leon's invention was never a failure! I never expected it to be Jack's fruit though! I should have tried it myself!"
"Yeah, this fruit's power is amazing. While it can't compare to Kaido's Mythical Zoan, it's still extremely strong!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Imagine a Logia combined with an Ancient Zoan—our combat power will be even more terrifying!"
The Admirals were ecstatic.
Leon's successful invention meant that this second Devil Fruit was an option for them.
Their strength would undoubtedly be pushed to another level.
How could they not be excited?
"How is this possible..." Vegapunk's voice was filled with disbelief.
"This doesn't make any sense! There are clearly rules for Devil Fruit abilities; they shouldn't be able to coexist... What happened here?!"
Seeing that Vegapunk still refused to accept it, Leon just smiled and shook his head.
He was called the world's number one scientist, yet he couldn't grasp the true nature of his invention.
"Leon..." Sengoku looked at Leon with concern. "Such a powerful fruit—why didn't you mention it earlier that it was an ancient zoan? And this was given to a prisoner... isn't this a waste of money?"
This was an Ancient Zoan fruit!
Its rarity was second only to Mythical Zoans, and its power was immense.
Sengoku felt like he was losing money.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, there's nothing that can be done about this," Leon replied, shaking his head.
"The ability you get from this second Devil Fruit is completely random. If you're unlucky, you might get a trashy Zoan or a weak Paramecia. But if you're lucky, you could get an Ancient Zoan, a Logia, or even a Mythical Zoan." He paused.
"Just like Admiral Akainu's Magma Fruit, Kaido's Dragon Fruit, or Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit—anything is possible!"
After hearing this, everyone's scalps tingled.
Although a weak ability was possible, the chance of getting a top-tier power like an Admiral's or even a Mythical Zoan was too incredible to ignore.
"Little Leon," Vice Admiral Tsuru asked seriously. "Is it possible to remove the randomness of the ability, or at least lower the probability of getting weak ones?"
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, there's no way around it," Leon shook his head. "This is the drawback of my invention. Even I can't avoid it. If i were to eat it i would also have to accept whatever ability I get."
Hearing Leon's words, Sengoku and the others finally came back to reality.
Sengoku sighed deeply, and the Admirals' excited expressions faded.
"It seems that getting a powerful second Devil Fruit ability isn't so easy," Sengoku said.
"Hehe, I think it's enough either way," Garp laughed. "Good or bad, it's just an extra ability. No matter what it is, it'll almost always enhance one's strength."
"That... is true!" Sengoku's grin returned.
He could already imagine the future: the Marine Corps dispatching the Seraphim army, Admiral-level and Yonko-level Seraphim, all mobilized at once.
The ability to travel freely with anywhere doors, combined with Marine officers who had dual Devil Fruit abilities.
This combination was simply invincible!
