Opening: Devil Fruit can be upgraded

Here, Rogge and Kuina were on their way back to the warship.

But because it was already night, it was quite inconvenient to walk in the desert.

"Guina"

"Um?"

"I will hold you and fly back."

Flying high means seeing far.

This way, Roger won't have to worry about getting lost.

And more importantly, they didn't have a tent ready for camping, so it was not convenient to sleep. They might be buried by the wind and sand while sleeping.

""Okay~" Kuina agreed with a blushing face, her voice was so weak that Rogge was not sure if he heard it.

With a wave of his hand, a pair of wings made of snow were attached to the back.

Then Rogge walked forward, picked up Kuina like a princess, and flew into the sky.

Although Rogge was flying very fast, it would take several hours to reach the port, so Kuina just lay on Rogge's chest and fell asleep.

Looking down at the cute sleeping Kuina, Rogge smiled gently.

The night was very quiet.

Only the sound of the wind in his ears and the lights far away told Rogge that this was not a dream.

"System, detect the type of devil fruit in my body."

Rogge instructed the system in his mind.

Ding! The devil fruit detected in the host is the parahuman type. Mimicry Fruit.

Mimicry Fruit?

Is this the ability of Mr. 2 von Clay?

It seems that Mr. 2 may not have acquired this ability yet, or has not joined Baroque Studio yet?

Forget it, there is nothing worth thinking about. In any case, this fruit will fuse by itself!

"System, what is the result of fusing the mimicry fruit?"

Ding! The system detects two possibilities: one is to increase the host's mimicry ability, and the other is to change the host's current fruit type.

Two? This is the first time that Roger has encountered such a situation.

If the fruit ability changes, I don't know how to explain it to the Warring States.

Ding! As a superhuman fruit, the mimicry fruit has a high plasticity.

"……"

After hesitating for a while, Roger said,"Let's fuse it, system!"

Ding! Consume one thousand fusion points to fuse the Animal Dragon Dragon Fruit. Ice Tyrant Dragon Form with the Superman Imitation Fruit.

Ding! The fusion is successful, and the host gains a new ability, 'Imitation’！

"Imitation?"

Ding! That means the nature of the host's fruit has not changed, it just gained a new ability.

Huh~

Rogge breathed a sigh of relief.

It is always good not to change the type of fruit. Although the fusion will definitely go in a good direction, Rogge is still worried.

After all, dragon + imitation fruit = chameleon???

There is no function to test the new ability on the spot. He has to go back to the ship first and free his hands.

Because the condition for using the imitation ability is to touch his face with his hand.

The right hand is to activate and the left hand is to cancel.

This is no different from the original imitation fruit.

A few hours later, Rogge returned to the warship with Kuina in his arms.

"Commodore Roger!" the Marine on night watch shouted

""Shh~"

Rogge glared at the marine, then indicated that Kuina was sleeping.

The marine immediately showed an apologetic expression and saluted.

Rogge carried Kuina into his room. Did you think something would happen?

No, please don't get me wrong, it's just that Rogge's room is always more comfortable than other single rooms.

He gently put Kuina on the bed

, but Kuina's hands were always around Rogge's neck and wouldn't let go.

Rogge tried to pry her hands apart, but they were too light to pry apart, and too heavy and Rogge was worried about waking Kuina up.

So Rogge had to give up the idea of staying up late at night to test his new ability, and instead sat on the bed, holding Kuina and preparing to fall asleep.

"This seems to be the first time that this girl and I sleep together~"

Roger looked at Kuina who was sleeping cutely, smiled gently, and then kissed her lips gently.

"Good night, Guina……"

The next day...

Kuina woke up earlier than Rogge.

Looking at Rogge's face, which was so close to her, she was dazed.

Then she blushed.

She looked around and saw no one.

Kuina also closed her eyes and kissed Rogge gently. Knock, knock, knock~

There was a knock on the door, and Kuina was so scared that she pretended to sleep and lay back in Rogge's arms.

"Brigadier General Rogge, are you awake? Marshal Zhan Guo is looking for you!"

Hearing Marshal Zhan Guo, Rogge woke up immediately, then glanced at Kuina who was still sleeping, and gently separated her from his body.

This time, because Kuina was not really asleep, Rogge easily loosened his hand around her neck.

"Strange, why are my lips a little wet? Did I drool while sleeping?!"

With a little self-doubt, after placing Kuina on the bed, he turned and walked out the door.

He opened the door, and before Kastar could respond, he silenced him, then closed the door and asked him to come to the far side of the deck to talk.

"You said Marshal Zhan Guo is looking for me?" Roger asked

"Yes!"

Kasda handed the snail with a mustache and strange beads to Roger, but the Den Den Mushi looked a little listless, as if it was dormant.

""Oh my, is that Marshal Sengoku? I'm Brigadier General Rogge."

Upon hearing the voice, Den Den Mushi regained his spirits and said to Rogge with a dignified look.

"Brigadier General Rogge, how long will it take you to get to the headquarters?"

Zhan Guo Snail looked unhappy, thinking that if he had known you would be so slow, he would have let you take Smoker's warship back.

After all, it only takes a few days to get from the East China Sea to the headquarters through the Calm Belt.

"It will probably take another half a month." Roger estimated.

"Half a month?!!"Sengoku Snail shouted in shock.

"You have been sailing for nearly two months since you set out?!! Are you reporting to the headquarters or are you traveling?!!"

Zhan Guo roared in frustration.

"Brigade...Oh no, report!"

"……"

Don't think I didn't hear it!

Zhan Guo thought angrily

"Not long ago, Ace, who had a bounty of 550 million Baileys, joined the Whitebeard Pirates and performed well in several wars with the other four emperors for the chassis. He is now the captain of Whitebeard's second team."

"So...what does this have to do with me?" Roger asked puzzled.

"Yes! Because we have already arranged for you to go to the New World, and now you are not here yet, and the"domineering" teaching time originally prepared for you cannot be fulfilled because of this Ace who stirred up the New World, so I ask you to rush to the New World immediately!"

"……"

New world?

You let a mid-level player fight the ultimate boss?

"Marshal Zhan Guo, I think you should reconsider. I am just a brigadier general. It should take a few years for me to go to the New World, right?" Roger said with a twitching mouth.
