"Bomb-Bomb Fruit?"
Kingpin's expression shifted.
Could it be… this fruit explodes?
"That's right—the Bomb-Bomb Fruit. As the name suggests, eating it grants you the abilities of a bomb.
Every part of your body can explode. Even a normal punch can produce explosive damage.
For someone like you—a master of physical combat—this is a massive enhancement."
Qin Xiao briefly explained the fruit's power.
"Every part of my body can become a bomb? How strong is it exactly?"
"As long as it's a substance within your body, you can imbue it with explosive power.
The strength depends on how well you develop the fruit. The more you unlock its potential, the greater the power you can wield."
"I understand."
Kingpin picked up the Devil Fruit from the table.
"You should know—this thing tastes terrible," Qin Xiao added helpfully.
"I've eaten worse."
Kingpin didn't seem concerned.
Crunch—
"Ugh—!"
The moment he took a bite, his expression twisted dramatically.
"This thing… really is awful."
Despite his words, he didn't slow down at all.
Gulp—
Kingpin swallowed the entire fruit in one go and let out a long breath.
As the Devil Fruit settled in his stomach, he felt a powerful energy spreading through his body.
Bang—!
He raised his hand and slammed it onto the table in front of him.
Boom—!
The spot he struck exploded like a grenade had detonated.
The entire table was blown into fragments.
"So this… is the power of a Devil?" Kingpin murmured, staring at his hands and feeling the surge of strength within him.
Qin Xiao watched as Kingpin finished consuming the Bomb-Bomb Fruit.
Ding.
"Detected: Bomb-Bomb Fruit consumed by matched target. Host is extracting the fruit's abilities."
The system's voice rang out in Qin Xiao's mind.
He immediately focused his attention on it.
[Devil Fruit Trading System]

[Fruit Ability Amplification: 0%]
This system allowed him to exchange for Devil Fruits from the world of One Piece.
It gave him two choices.
The first option was to consume the Devil Fruit himself, just like in One Piece.
That way, he would directly gain the fruit's power. If he were to eat something like the Dark-Dark Fruit from the start, he might even achieve dual-fruit abilities.
The advantage was clear—Qin Xiao understood how to develop these fruits, even how to awaken them. He could push their potential to the limit in the shortest time possible.
The downside was equally obvious.
Eating a Devil Fruit meant being rejected by the sea.
The second option was to have others consume the fruits.
Through the system, he could "extract" their abilities.
This meant he could possess countless Devil Fruit powers at once.
Moreover, when extracting abilities, he would permanently gain part of the user's own skills.
Just like now—months ago, the Punisher had eaten the Swamp-Swamp Fruit.
Not only did Qin Xiao gain that fruit's abilities, he also obtained the Punisher's weapon mastery.
And as the Punisher's control over the fruit improved, Qin Xiao would continue extracting even more power.
Once the Punisher fully developed the fruit, Qin Xiao might even gain his combat instincts.
After all, the Punisher—an anti-hero once labeled a "Level 10 Agent" by Nick Fury—had undergone full Marine Corps training.
The second method was powerful, but it came with limitations.
First, not everyone could "match" with a Devil Fruit.
In the Marvel world, it seemed far more restrictive than in One Piece—only compatible individuals could successfully consume a fruit.
Second, the strength Qin Xiao could use matched that of the user.
For example, Kingpin could destroy a table with one explosive punch—Qin Xiao's raw power output would be the same.
However, application was a different story.
Qin Xiao could combine the Bomb-Bomb Fruit with the Swamp-Swamp Fruit.
Even if the explosive power remained equal to Kingpin's, Qin Xiao could still utterly dominate him in combat.
After reviewing the system, Qin Xiao turned his attention back to Kingpin.
"What you call a 'Devil,' I prefer to call a Devil Fruit user.
Now, let me show you the true power of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit."
As he spoke, Qin Xiao lightly tapped the table beside him with his finger.
Boom—!
