What entered Yoru's sight was a bizarre fruit radiating an intense crimson glow, along with two books pressed beneath it.
The fruit was shaped like a pineapple, covered in strange, swirling patterns.
If someone from the Naruto world saw it, they would probably treat it as a deadly poisonous fruit and stay far away.
But Yoru was different.
As a seasoned anime fan, he recognized it almost instantly.
A Devil Fruit!
And very likely a Logia-type!
Its appearance was somewhat similar to the Flame-Flame Fruit from the Dressrosa arc, but its color was darker—closer to a deep, dim red.
"How could a Devil Fruit appear in the Naruto world?!"
Yoru picked up the fruit and examined it over and over again. No matter how he looked at it, this strange fruit was unmistakably the sea's treasure from the One Piece world—a Devil Fruit.
Could it just be a coincidence?
Yoru's expression shifted uncertainly as he stared at it. What if this was some mutated poisonous fruit? If he ate it, instead of gaining power, he might just die on the spot.
He turned his gaze to the two books beside it, hoping to find some clues.
Moments later, Yoru let out a long breath.
He was certain now.
This fruit was indeed the sea's treasure—a Devil Fruit.
The two books were titled Body Limit Training Method and Marine Six Styles.
The Six Styles were a closely guarded secret of the Marines. Even if leaked, at most only one or two techniques would appear outside. A complete set of all six techniques was something only the Marines possessed.
As for the Body Limit Training Method, it was used by the Marines to forge superhuman physiques—enhancing nutrient absorption, breaking the limits of the human body, and turning one into something beyond ordinary humans.
If such tightly guarded Marine secrets were here—
Then the fruit placed above them had to be a Devil Fruit.
Perhaps when he transmigrated, he passed through the One Piece world and brought them along?
Yoru pondered silently.
But no matter how absurd it sounded, transmigration itself was already ridiculous. What difference did it make if he also brought back a Devil Fruit and two supreme Marine techniques?
That wasn't the problem.
The most important thing—
Was that he had finally obtained a ticket onto the path of the strong!
Back in his original world, his body had always been abnormal.
He possessed absorption and recovery abilities far beyond ordinary people. After a hospital check-up, the doctor had looked at him like he was a monster. From then on, Yoru never dared to expose this abnormality again, fearing he'd be taken away for research and dissection.
But now, in the Naruto world—
No one feared monsters.
The only fear was not being monstrous enough!
This—
This was his stage!
The road to becoming strong!
Yoru turned his burning gaze toward the dark red Devil Fruit in his hand, as if it were the most alluring treasure in the world.
Without hesitation—
He took a bite.
"Ugh—!"
The fruit melted in his mouth instantly, but the rumored taste—like literal shit—was absolutely accurate.
Yoru retched for a while, then focused carefully on the changes in his body.
One second…
Two seconds…
Nothing.
There was no noticeable change.
Yoru frowned.
"Don't tell me… Devil Fruits don't work in the Naruto world?"
He didn't even know what ability this fruit held, nor how to activate it. But from what he remembered of One Piece, once a Devil Fruit was consumed, its ability should become instinctive—just weak at the beginning.
"Mm?!"
Suddenly, Yoru's entire body trembled as he collapsed onto the ground, curling up.
Pain!
A pain that seeped into his bones!
It felt as if every single cell in his body was being torn apart!
"Ha…! Hah…!"
His mouth opened involuntarily as faint, strained gasps escaped. His mind went completely blank.
…
…
No one knew how much time had passed before Yoru slowly regained consciousness.
His entire body was covered in sticky sweat, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He glanced out the window—
It was already pitch black.
"What the hell happened?" Yoru muttered, utterly confused. "I've never heard of Devil Fruits causing pain like this… especially not something this unbearable!"
"Hm? What's this?!"
Yoru suddenly noticed a small cluster of blue energy within his abdomen.
"Chakra!"
Though still very faint, he was absolutely certain—
This was Chakra!
The most fundamental—and most powerful—energy in the Naruto world!
With Chakra, you obtained a ticket to becoming a ninja.
From that moment on, you could cultivate taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu—the exclusive arts of shinobi.
Formed from the combination of physical energy drawn from the body's 130 trillion cells and spiritual energy gained through training, Chakra held limitless potential!
Yoru was overjoyed.
Although he didn't fully understand what had happened, it was most likely a change brought about by the Devil Fruit.
"Glug… glug…"
Just as he was immersed in his excitement, a strange sound suddenly came from his right hand.
"What is this?!"
Focusing his gaze, Yoru saw that part of his right hand had transformed into a faintly visible red fluid, mixed with black fragments that resembled burning rock.
This—
This had to be his Devil Fruit ability!
As he recalled abilities from One Piece that matched this description—
"This… it can't be…?!"
"Hiss—!"
Yoru rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and placed his partially transformed hand under the running water.
Instantly—
The water evaporated into steam!
A terrifying heat spread out!
Yet his fluid-like hand remained completely unaffected!
"So it really is…"
Yoru's eyes burned with excitement.
"The Magma-Magma Fruit!"
