Doflamingo was fast. In just three days, he had helped Yami obtain the training method for the King Punch.
However, Yami himself deserved most of the credit.
Because... Yami had become famous!
Almost two days after he challenged Kaido, a piece of news in the World Economic Journal shocked the entire world.
From ordinary people who knew the basics about Devil Fruits to the three major powers of the Grand Line and the World Government, everyone was shocked, their original worldviews shattered.
The headline of the news article read— "The Multiple Devil Fruit User, The Embodiment of a Miracle, The Man Who Made Fantasy a Reality!"
The cover of the newspaper was Yami's bounty poster.
Below the bounty poster were numerous pictures and text.
These pictures and text filled the entire newspaper, making today's World Economic Journal have only one news article.
From this, one could see just how much information and value this news article held.
Today's newspaper also, without a doubt, broke the single-day sales record for the World Economic Journal.
The news article began with an endorsement from the Beasts Pirates.
According to information and evidence provided by an anonymous member of the Beasts Pirates, "Black Hole" Yami, who had become famous throughout the world a few months ago by breaking the record for a rookie's first bounty and was hailed as the strongest rookie in history, was actually an unprecedented multiple Devil Fruit user, a being that had only existed in fantasy!
Beside this text were several photos, showing Yami turning into a seven-meter-plus small giant, and also a hundred-meter giant fighting Kaido.
It was said that during the battle between Kaido of the Beasts and "Black Hole" Yami, Yami himself admitted to being a multiple Devil Fruit user and having the ability to obtain Devil Fruits.
The ability to turn into a giant was the Paramecia-type More-More Fruit of "World Destroyer" Byrnndi World.
Besides the Paramecia-type More-More Fruit, "Black Hole" Yami also used the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit and the Paramecia-type Teleport-Teleport Fruit.
After investigation and verification by the World Economic Journal, it was confirmed that "World Destroyer" Byrnndi World, who was originally imprisoned in Impel Down, had indeed disappeared.
Disappearing along with Byrnndi World was the "Crescent Moon Hunter" Catarina Devon, who had been abducted by a user of the Door-Door Fruit.
If both of these prisoners were abducted by "Black Hole" Yami, it would mean that besides the Paramecia-type More-More Fruit, "Black Hole" Yami might also possess the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit and the Mythical Zoan, Nine-Tailed Fox.
Whether they were on him or his maids.
Not only that, but Shiki the Golden Lion and Elliott Borg of the Rocks Pirates both died at the hands of "Black Hole" Yami. Besides the Paramecia-type Teleport-Teleport Fruit, it was highly likely that the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit was also on "Black Hole" Yami himself, not on one of his maids as previously speculated.
Currently, it was confirmed that "Black Hole" Yami possessed four abilities: the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit, the Paramecia-type More-More Fruit, the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit, and the Paramecia-type Teleport-Teleport Fruit. It was also suspected that he possessed the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit, the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit, and the Mythical Zoan, Nine-Tailed Fox. This meant that "Black Hole" Yami possessed at least seven fruit abilities.
Furthermore, one of his maids, known as "Railgun" Nami, was a user of the legendary Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
This legendary Devil Fruit was likely bestowed upon her by "Black Hole" Yami.
If he could casually bestow even the Devil Fruit hailed as the strongest Logia upon his maid, no one could be sure just how many Devil Fruits this unprecedented multiple Devil Fruit user was hiding.
But the World Economic Journal will continue to track and report!
"A mul... multiple Devil Fruit user! A mythical physique that I only dared to fantasize about in my dreams actually exists!"
"I've seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. The Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit doesn't have the ability to grow larger. First, a seven-meter-plus form, and then a hundred-meter-plus form... this can't be explained by racial talent. This 'Black Hole' Yami is definitely a multiple Devil Fruit user!"
"A multiple Devil Fruit user... is it a coincidence or a true miracle? If I eat a second Devil Fruit, will I die?"
"..."
"Not only is he a multiple Devil Fruit user, but he also has the ability to obtain Devil Fruits. With such a freak, can the World Government and Marine Headquarters sit still?"
"Hahaha... the World Government must be in a panic right now. 'Black Hole' Yami has the Door-Door Fruit that allows him to come and go from Impel Down as he pleases, and he has the means to obtain Devil Fruits. Now that his secret is out, do they dare to imprison Devil Fruit users in Impel Down anymore?"
"If such a freak isn't dealt with in advance, he will become the most terrifying existence on these seas in the future."
"No need to wait for the future. The balance of the seas has already been lost!"
"The Dark-Dark Fruit has the ability to seal fruit powers, and the More-More Fruit can multiply other abilities. When one person possesses both abilities at the same time... the most unbeatable Devil Fruit user in history has been born!"
"..."
With the exception of the Calm Belt, whether in the Four Blues or the first and second halves of the Grand Line, all the people of the world who read the newspaper, regardless of their race, were discussing "Black Hole" Yami, and the terror and danger of a multiple Devil Fruit user with the ability to obtain fruits.
Ordinary people and ordinary powers were just watching the show.
The major figures and major powers, however, were filled with gravity and apprehension.
Among them, the major powers of the New World were facing a great enemy.
After all, "Black Hole" Yami was a pirate. If he were to contend for supremacy in the New World, then all the major powers would be obstacles in his path to the top.
The major pirate crews occupying their own territories were all afraid that they would become Yami's target.
Especially the Rocks Pirates, who had lost a top officer, were extremely nervous.
No one knew how the World Government and Marine Headquarters would react.
But in the next day's World Economic Journal, every newspaper came with a bounty poster.
This bounty poster was Yami's, and his picture had not been changed.
But the information and the bounty amount below had undergone an astonishing change.
["Black Hole" Yami, user of the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit, Paramecia-type More-More Fruit, Paramecia-type Teleport-Teleport Fruit, Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit, and Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit. Bounty: 3,046,000,000 Beli. Dead or Alive.]
Seeing this bounty poster, the world was once again in an uproar.
It wasn't that "Black Hole" Yami's bounty had soared by 2.5 billion Beli, but... the official endorsement.
Besides the four confirmed abilities, the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit was really on "Black Hole" Yami.
