But unexpectedly, a few weeks later...
One wonders if Fang Huo's Luck-Luck Fruit ability was having a massive outbreak.
Vassals like Fūgetsu Kisaburō, Shimotsuki Kisaburō, and the Ugetsu Family returned from their respective territories, and every kingdom offered up a Devil Fruit.
Before the Red Soil Island incident, Fang Huo had already ordered these subsidiary kingdoms to launch a Great Expedition and a plan to search for Devil Fruits.
But he hadn't expected the results to be so remarkable!
"Lord Fang Huo, the Fūgetsu Kingdom has found the Mythical Zoan Nue Fruit!!"
After leaving Red Soil Island, Fūgetsu Kisaburō returned to his Fuyue Island, which was formerly Kura Island.
He hadn't expected his clansmen to actually find this Devil Fruit that Fang Huo had prophesied.
After handling his affairs, he immediately sent this Mythical Zoan fruit to the Sacred Ancient Moon Empire!
"Lord Fang Huo, Miss Furiko! Our Shimotsuki Kingdom has found the Guardian Deity of Wano Country, the Mythical Zoan Model: Ookuchi no Makami Fruit!"
Shimotsuki Kozaburo was equally excited; after all, Shimotsuki Furiko had previously expressed her desire for this Devil Fruit that represented protection.
So, after finding this Devil Fruit during the Great Expedition, Kozaburo immediately wanted to present it to Miss Furiko.
Shimotsuki Kozaburo did not participate in the Red Soil Island war this time; instead, he was in charge of Fang Huo's Great Expedition plan.
He, as a swordsman with his sword Wado Ichimonji, had already made a great name for himself in the New World.
He made the prestige of the Shimotsuki Kingdom resonate far and wide!
"Respected Clan Head, our Ugetsu Kingdom has also obtained a Sorcery Fruit!"
The powerhouses of the Ugetsu Family were very grateful to Fang Huo for supporting their establishment of the Ugetsu Kingdom.
Thus, they worked very hard to search for Sorcery Fruits for Fang Huo to repay his kindness for promoting them.
Originally, they didn't have a single clue, but unexpectedly, after Lord Fang Huo returned to the country, they found a Sorcery Fruit.
Now, they immediately escorted this Sorcery Fruit to the Sacred Ancient Moon Empire.
"I didn't expect your luck to be so good!"
"This Mythical Zoan Ushi-Ushi Fruit, Model: Gyuki, has only recently respawned, and you actually found it."
Looking at these three Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, Fang Huo was truly shocked beyond words.
Especially the Mythical Zoan Gyuki Fruit that dropped after the death of the Gorosei, Satan Saint.
Had he already become the child of destiny of this world?
His luck was actually so good that he obtained three Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits all at once.
Or perhaps these legendary monsters and divine beasts from the waters of Wano Country only respawn in these waters.
That would explain why the subordinates of the Ugetsu Family found this Gyuki Fruit so quickly.
If one were to infer this way, then Saint Mars's Mythical Zoan Itsumade ability and Saint Nusjuro's Mythical Zoan Bakotsu ability also seem to be legendary monsters exclusive to the Wano Country sea area.
So, after killing those two Gorosei, would their Devil Fruit abilities also respawn in this specific sea area?
This was a matter worth exploring.
Fang Huo had already investigated and found that the Ethanbaron Royal Family, one of the Twenty Kings, had an ancestral home that was a Wano-style kingdom located in the middle-to-latter half of the New World.
That was why Saint Nusjuro wore that specific Wano-style clothing, looking out of place compared to the suits of the other four Gorosei.

"Reward them!"
Fang Huo was delighted and gave the three great Moon Kingdoms grand rewards to celebrate the acquisition of these three Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits.
Fang Huo gave the Mythical Zoan Mythical Zoan Model: Ookuchi no Makami Fruit to Shimotsuki Furiko, making his second woman a Mythical Zoan ability user as well.
As for Yamato, even Kaido was only eight years old right now; why worry about Yamato so far in the future?
After discussion between Fang Huo and Shimotsuki Furiko, they chose the Mythical Zoan Nue ability for Kogetsu Ryuma.
A pure swordsman has the noble integrity of a pure swordsman.
But a Mythical Zoan swordsman has the stats of a Mythical Zoan swordsman.
Devil Fruit abilities, Three Types of Haki, swordsmanship, and physical techniques—being strong in all of them is true strength!
There was no need to deliberately pursue the path of a pure swordsman!
Just like that, Fang Huo's two wives and two sons all became Mythical Zoan ability users.
Only Charlotte Linlin, the Soul-Soul Fruit user, was a bit of an outlier.
Fang Huo finally looked at that two-horned Mythical Zoan Gyuki Fruit.
He felt that this Devil Fruit also seemed quite suitable for Kaido.
After all, both had dual horns, and both Gyuki and the Oni race had 'Oni' in their names... Now it just depended on whether Charlotte Linlin would take a fancy to this Mythical Zoan ability that originally belonged to a Gorosei.
Whether she wanted to save it for their unborn offspring.
If Charlotte Linlin didn't want it, then this Gyuki Fruit could go to his future subordinate, Kaido.
There was no helping it; Fang Huo's family certainly had priority.
A subordinate is, after all, a subordinate.

Fortunately, the news of the three great Moon Kingdoms offering up three Mythical Zoan fruits had not yet reached the ears of the other Cadres of the Rocks Pirates.
Otherwise, Gangster Shiki, Ganzi, and the others would likely be green with envy.
They worked themselves to the bone searching for Devil Fruits, yet they couldn't compare to Fang Huo sitting in his base waiting for Devil Fruits to be delivered to his door.
Loki, who was a guest in the Sacred Ancient Moon Empire, saw how much Fang Huo favored Mythical Zoan abilities and also wanted to become a powerful Mythical Zoan user.
Under Fang Huo's recommendation, he became full of interest in that inherited Devil Fruit of Elbaf.
If his father, Harald, wasn't interested in that inherited fruit, then he would have to give it a try.
He didn't believe he couldn't beat a hammer!

In Wano Country.
Previously, under Fang Huo's instructions, the Daimyo of Ringo, Shimotsuki Ichiran, had released news.
As long as one offered a Sorcery Fruit, they could obtain a generous amount of Platinum Coins.
One could even choose to obtain a territory in the Outer Seas, establish their own family domain, and become a Daimyo managing a district.
This completely ignited a craze for finding Sorcery Fruits among Wano's samurai, gangsters, and mountain bandits.
Even Kozuki Oden was frantically searching for Sorcery Fruits, wanting to gain the opportunity to go out to sea.
His father, Kozuki Sukiyaki, forbade him from going to sea, so he insisted on using a Sorcery Fruit to earn a chance to go out and explore on a Flying Battleship.
From that moment on, Kozuki Oden no longer wasted time in the red-light districts and casinos.
Under the extensive search by Kozuki Oden and some of the Oniwabanshu, they actually found a Sorcery Fruit that looked a bit like a scroll.
Kozuki Oden couldn't wait and rushed to Shimotsuki Castle in the Ringo District with this Sorcery Fruit, waiting for the chance to offer the fruit and go to sea.
He just didn't know if Kozuki Sukiyaki would let him successfully set sail.
A ninja in the Flower Capital had the good fortune to find a Sorcery Fruit and excitedly rushed to Shimotsuki Castle to exchange it for generous Platinum Coins.
He wanted to use these Platinum Coins to buy his own grand mansion in the Flower Capital.
By comparing it with the devil fruit encyclopedia left by Fang Huo, Shimotsuki Ichiran discovered that this Sorcery Fruit was called the Paramecia Type Ripe-Ripe Fruit.
In the chaotic area of the Kuri District, a blonde hoodlum also successfully found a Sorcery Fruit that looked as if it were wearing clothes.
He had had enough of the bottom-tier chaotic life in Kuri.
He wanted to go to sea and become a Daimyo! He wanted to establish his own family that would last for generations!!
