"Boss, here's the thing."
Seeing the confusion in Fisk's eyes, Wesley immediately leaned in and whispered an explanation. Only then did Fisk understand.
It turned out that Vanessa was actually Wade's wife! And her name was exactly the same as his own fiancée's. What a strange coincidence.
Helen Cho: "Mr. Fisk, have you also gained the power of a Devil Fruit? I'm very pleased to have you join us."
Wilson Fisk: "Thank you, everyone. I'm Wilson Fisk, and I have the power of Steel-Steel Fruit. I hope we can all work together in the future."
Wade Wilson: "Steel-Steel Fruit? That must be the fruit that turns your body into steel, right? Fisk, are you planning to become a statue? Those street performers might lose their jobs."
A vein on Fisk's forehead throbbed.
So, this is the Wade Wesley mentioned—the guy who killed Daredevil? And he dares to talk to me like this?
It had been a long, long time since anyone had spoken to him that way.
Wesley, standing by, adjusted his glasses and silently broke into a cold sweat for Wade. Knowing Fisk as he did, Wesley understood that the man was genuinely angered. Wade was treading dangerously close to the line.
Vanessa: "Mr. Fisk, I'm really sorry. Wade didn't mean anything by it; he was just joking. That's just how he is."
Fortunately, Vanessa quickly apologized on Deadpool's behalf, slightly softening Fisk's expression.
Even though he knew this Vanessa had no connection to his fiancée, the identical name was clearly a unique twist of fate. So, he decided to show this Vanessa a little leniency.
Wilson Fisk: "Mr. Wade, it was just a joke. Miss Vanessa, don't worry; I wasn't offended."
Fisk didn't say much more. After a brief greeting, he left the chat group.
Like Wesley, Fisk knew the value of a group filled with such empowered individuals, so he had joined without hesitation. However, he was also keen to keep his identity concealed, so he adhered to the principle of speaking as little as possible.
"Shopkeeper, Wesley, and I will be leaving now, but I will bring my fiancée here another day." After exchanging a few more words with Rosh, Fisk took his leave with Wesley.
"Fisk, Wesley, take care!" Rosh smiled as he saw them out, feeling quite pleased. Thanks to Wesley and Fisk, four Devil Fruits had been sold.
Fisk, indeed, was a valuable customer.
And that wasn't all—Fisk had promised to bring his fiancée over soon, which could mean another round of sales.
'If only I had a dozen customers like Fisk!'
Thanks to Wesley and Fisk's efforts, Rosh met his sales target, which had stalled for days, and exceeded it.
"System, calculate the task results!"
Rosh eagerly entered the system to finalize the tally.
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully selling six Devil Fruits and completing the task!]
[The Host may choose either a single lottery draw or receive 1000 Source Points. What is the Host's choice?]
The system's prompt echoed in his mind, making Rosh rub his hands in excitement.
Choosing between a lottery draw or Source Points? It wasn't a difficult decision. After a brief thought, he made his choice.
"I choose to receive 1000 Source Points!" Rosh immediately told the system.
His Glint-Glint Fruit was still at a very basic level, and his strength needed to be improved. Instead of obtaining another rudimentary power, it was better to enhance his current abilities. At the very least, he needed enough power to hold his ground in this world.
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a reward of 1000 Source Points!]
[ Host has remaining Source Points, which can be used to enhance the abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Would you like to use your Source Points for Enhancement?]
The system prompted again.
What was there to hesitate about?
"Enhance!"
[Enhancing...]
[Deducting Source Points...]
[Enhancement complete!]
[Congratulations! The abilities of the Glint-Glint Fruit have been raised to the level of Admiral Kizaru!]
As the system's notifications rang out, Rosh immediately felt a significant change in his body.
'Admiral Kizaru!'
Rosh's eyes lit up. In the One Piece world, Kizaru was undoubtedly one of the top-tier powerhouses—a force to be reckoned with.
More importantly, Kizaru's flashy and impressive moves, like arriving on a lightball or saying, "Have you ever been kicked by light?" were incredibly cool.
'Not bad at all,' Rosh was quite satisfied with this.
At this stage, and even in the era when the Avengers ruled the cosmos, Rosh would definitely be considered a top-tier figure, able to take on the entire Avengers team single-handedly.
Except for a few truly overpowered beings, who could stand against him?
Rosh was ecstatic. Now, he finally had the confidence to establish himself in this world.
"By the way, System."
Suddenly, Rosh remembered another question. "If I had chosen the lottery, what rewards might I have gotten?"
[Devil Fruits, Haki abilities, the Six Powers of the Navy, or other mystery packages—you could have randomly received one or more of these rewards.]
'I can still get Devil Fruits?'
Rosh was intrigued. Devil Fruits could only be consumed once per person. Even if he obtained another one through the lottery, it would be useless.
He asked the system about this.
[The Devil Fruits rewarded by the system are not ordinary Devil Fruits. They are exclusive to the Host.]
[These Devil Fruits do not have the typical conflict issues when consumed in multiple quantities. The Host can consume them without worry, as there are no quantity restrictions.]
The system clarified.
'I could consume multiple Devil Fruits?' Rosh felt even more satisfied.
So, he could not only become light but also turn into lightning? Or fire?
The thought was exhilarating!
However, the system had specified that only the "exclusive" fruits it rewarded had no such limits. The ones available for sale did have these restrictions.
Rosh understood the distinction clearly.
