One Piece : Prince of Charlotte Family

After a few days.

Island of the Gods, Apayado.

Wilhelm and Finley returned with a bountiful haul.

In addition to the Logia Thunder Fruit, Wilhelm brought back even more rewards. After taking Enel from Birka and seizing control, he tasked Birka's scholars with designing the blueprint for the Ark "Proverbs."

This ark far surpassed the hundreds of pieces he had collected over the past few years. Among them were rare shells, including the even rarer and extinct "Blow Shell," capable of generating powerful winds.

The "Proverbs" ark, powered by electricity and capable of flight, was undeniably perfect for Logia Thunder Fruit users.

Even though Smoothie might not be entirely satisfied with the appearance of the "Proverb," Wilhelm could easily ask a renowned craftsman to modify the design based on the original blueprints, incorporating the original power system.

"Wilhelm, you're finally back!"

"Is everything going smoothly?"

"These... couldn't all be gold, right?"

The three Smoothies, who had been waiting patiently, were surprised by the spoils Wilhelm had brought back.

Bags full, overflowing, with mysterious contents they couldn't immediately identify.

They weren't entirely sure what Wilhelm had been doing at Birka, but guessed that like this Sky Island, he was planning to conquer it too.

"What are you thinking?" Wilhelm, back from a long journey, rolled his eyes and grinned. "Besides some design drawings, these are a type of wind shell rarer than those on Sky Island—shells that are even more rare and nearly extinct. They'll be incredibly useful in the future!"

"But the biggest gain is this!" 

He reached into his cloak and pulled out a simple wooden box, tossing it lightly at Smoothie.

With a smile, he said, "This is for Sister Smoothie!"

"Gift?" Smoothie raised an eyebrow, surprised.

She caught the wooden box and opened it with curiosity.

On the other hand, Stron and Simon watched with equal curiosity.

"Crack!" The wooden box creaked as it opened.

Inside was a fruit, whole and light blue, with distinctive convex patterns, shaped like a pineapple.

The three sisters couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"this is…"

"Devil Fruit?"

The three of them looked at Wilhelm in unison, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"I can only say that Sister Smoothie, you are lucky. You are destined to be with it; it should belong to you!"

With a smile, Wilhelm gazed at Smoothie's bright face. "Logia Thunder Fruit, among the countless Devil Fruits, is incredibly rare and holds peak abilities..."

"Logia Thunder Fruit?"

Smoothie's eyes widened in surprise and joy.

"Is this real?"

"It's actually the rarest type of Logia among the three Devil Fruit categories..."

Strong and Snamon couldn't help but swallow, their envy evident.

Looking at the light blue Devil Fruit in Smoothie's hand, they couldn't believe it.

Even though they were sisters, they couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

In this vast sea, Devil Fruits are divided into three types: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia.

Paramecia Devil Fruits grant users the ability to manipulate specific substances or bring about unique physical changes—such as rendering certain physical attacks ineffective.

Eaters of these fruits gain extraordinary powers, and their bodies are often altered in ways beyond ordinary human capabilities.

Paramecia fruits are the most numerous but also the most varied, divided into categories like superhuman, superpower, and creation types.

For instance, Wilhelm's Paramecia—Transfer Fruit—and Simon's Paramecia—Squeeze Fruit—fall into the superpower category.

Zoan Devil Fruits enable users to transform into different animals, granting them unique animalistic abilities and improving their physical qualities. Users also have three stages of transformation: human form, human-beast form, and beast form.

Alongside regular Zoan abilities, there are rarer ancient species and even more elusive phantom beast types, which are said to be rarer than Logia.

Logia Devil Fruits, on the other hand, allow users to transform their bodies into natural elements—such as magma, flame, lightning, sand, or swamp—effectively making their bodies intangible. This process is called "elementalization."

Elementalization negates physical attacks, non-Haki-based strikes, and most forms of energy-based attacks.

Additionally, Logia users can create these natural elements, turning them into powerful means of attack.

Thus, Logia is widely regarded as the strongest of the three types of Devil Fruit.

Of course, there are exceptionally rare and powerful Paramecia abilities that could rival Logia, but such instances are few and far between.

Which is stronger or weaker is difficult to say.

However, no one can deny the supremacy of Logia when it comes to sheer destructive power and versatility.

Every Logia ability is undeniably powerful.

Not to mention, Thunder Fruit is a Logia ability—the most awe-inspiring and feared natural phenomenon in the world. Thunder and lightning strike terror into the hearts of most creatures, evoking both fear and reverence.

Without a doubt, among all the Logia Devil Fruits, Thunder Fruit ranks at the very top!

"Thank you, Wilhelm..."

Smoothie carefully grasped the heavy Thunder Fruit.

Looking at her handsome, confident, and flawlessly perfect younger brother, her heart swelled with emotion. Her eyes glistened with tears as she reached out and hugged him tightly.

She had never imagined her younger brother would remember her promise and bring her such a powerful gift—a power far surpassing her Paramecia Squeeze Fruit.

And not just any Logia, but a top-tier Logia like Thunder Fruit.

"Eat it..."

With a tender gaze, Wilhelm smiled gently at Smoothie. "Sister Smoothie, I told you—you won't regret your choice!"

From the very beginning, when Smoothie chose to believe in him and sacrifice her rightful Paramecia abilities, Wilhelm vowed not to disappoint her.

"Then, sister, you're welcome!"

Smoothie's embrace tightened as her resolve strengthened.

Even if, one day, Wilhelm were to clash with their mother—Charlotte Linlin—Smoothie knew her loyalty would remain with him.

Even if it meant facing Charlotte Linlin, a woman in her eyes far more terrifying than any evil spirit, known for her cruelty and unyielding control, Smoothie stood firm.

"vomit--"

In an instant, Smoothie's expression twisted in discomfort. She clutched her mouth tightly as her face turned blue and purple, showing an intense reaction.

"Sorry, Sister Smoothie, I forgot to remind you..." Wilhelm chuckled softly, rubbing the back of his head. "The taste of Devil Fruit will stay with you forever!"

Sigh, chirp...

Smoothie fought through the wave of nausea, her face pale but determined.
