"Top 10 Strongest Devil Fruits! Eat One and You Can Defeat the Pirate King!"
The sensational headline immediately caught the attention of countless people.
However, upon closer inspection, the content of the article wasn't the most captivating part.
What truly stood out was the fact that the Tieba Tabloid had managed to release a second issue without being shut down by Doflamingo.
"Such a strong backing? Is there a major figure behind the Tieba Tabloid?"
On one side was the Tieba Tabloid, and on the other was Doflamingo's clarification in the World Economic Times.
When these two newspapers were placed side by side, it created a fascinating contrast.
"Doflamingo is already aware of the Tieba Tabloid. He even published a clarification, but he couldn't stop the Tieba Tabloid from being distributed."
"Not only could he not stop it, but his clarification didn't even mention the Tieba Tabloid..."
This made many people ponder deeply.
The Tieba Tabloid was indeed no ordinary publication!
And when they turned their attention to the specific content of the newspaper, their shock was even greater.
".....10th place: the Rewind-Rewind Fruit."
"The user can revert the age of any living being they touch by 12 years..."
"9th place: the Slow-Slow Fruit..."
"7th place: the Phoenix Fruit, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. It grants the user healing flames and incredible regenerative abilities. The current user is Marco, the First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates..."
"5th place: the Glint-Glint Fruit. The user can transform into light, possessing the speed of light and the ability to fire lasers. Its speed and destructive power are undeniable. The current user is Vice Admiral Kizaru of the Marine Headquarters, who is already showing the potential of an Admiral..."
This article left countless people around the world stunned.
Unlike the first issue, which had exposed Doflamingo, this article was packed with solid information.
In addition to providing detailed descriptions of the Devil Fruits, it even mentioned the current users of some of them.
Particularly notable were Vice Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Akainu, who were described as having the potential to become Admirals...
"The Rewind-Rewind Fruit? There's actually a Devil Fruit with such a strange and terrifying ability? Just a touch and you're affected?"
"The Magma-Magma Fruit is said to have the most destructive power among the Logia-type Devil Fruits. Too bad it's already been eaten."
"This is terrifying. There are so many powerful and bizarre Devil Fruits out there..."
"No, the most terrifying thing is the person behind this newspaper. Not only do they know so much, but they're also making this hidden information public..."
The Moby Dick, a pirate ship shaped like a white whale, sailed across the sea.
At this moment, a banquet was underway on the ship.
Amidst the noise, someone read the newly arrived newspaper, sparking a wave of discussion.
"Top 10 Devil Fruits? Who came up with this list?"
"Commander Marco, your Phoenix Fruit made the list, ranking 7th. Maybe your bounty will go up because of this?"
"Really? Let me see."
Marco skimmed through the newspaper, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
The newspaper provided detailed descriptions of the ten Devil Fruits on the list and even mentioned their current users.
Marco didn't mind his ability being exposed by this so-called Tieba Tabloid.
His ability was no secret among the true powerhouses of the sea. Being known by more people wouldn't change much.
What surprised him was the person who had written this article.
"These ten Devil Fruits may not necessarily be the strongest of all, but each one is indeed incredibly powerful..."
A thought crossed his mind, and Marco turned to a companion beside him with a smile.
"Teach, you've been on this ship for many years. I see that a few of the Devil Fruits listed in the newspaper don't have their users mentioned, meaning they haven't been eaten yet."
"Why don't you go look for one and boost your strength? Maybe you could even become a division commander?"
At this time, Teach hadn't yet grown his signature black beard. He was stuffing a piece of cherry pie into his mouth when he heard Marco's words. He immediately put on a harmless smile.
"I don't have that kind of ambition."
"I don't want to be a division commander, and I'm not interested in this newspaper at all."
Teach smiled innocently.
However, he then heard someone nearby continue:
"Pops' Tremor-Tremor Fruit is called the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit in the newspaper, with the power to destroy the world... But it's only ranked 2nd!"
"It's not number one? But our Pops is the strongest man in the world!"
Teach's smile stiffened slightly, and his attention was completely drawn to what his comrades were saying.
He hadn't paid much attention to the newspaper at first.
But when he learned that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was ranked second, he suddenly felt a pang of unease.
The author of this article clearly understood the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, yet they still ranked it second.
So, what could possibly be ranked first? Could it be the fruit he had been dreaming of for over a decade...?
"First place! The Dark-Dark Fruit!" someone read aloud.
"Huh? According to the description in this article, this fruit is really powerful."
At that moment, Teach felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the cherry pie in his hand fell to the ground.
He pretended to casually stand up and moved closer to the person reading the newspaper, glancing at it.
Then, his heart grew colder and heavier.
"The Dark-Dark Fruit, the most dangerous Devil Fruit in history, possesses gravitational powers akin to a black hole. It can absorb attacks and even nullify the abilities of other Devil Fruit users..."
The person who wrote this article fully understood the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Did they also read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia?"
Teach's breathing became rapid, and his expression changed.
He had been lying low on Whitebeard's ship for so many years, all for the sake of this fruit.
But the secrets of the Dark-Dark Fruit had suddenly been exposed by this newspaper.
It was predictable that the Dark-Dark Fruit, ranked above the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, would attract countless pirates vying for it!
"Even if this fruit ends up on Whitebeard's ship, there will likely be many people like me who want it! This complicates things..."
He suddenly felt a headache coming on, his back drenched in cold sweat.
His years of careful planning might be severely disrupted by this small newspaper?
"Wait, after the Dark-Dark Fruit at number one, there's a number zero!"
"Number Zero: the Face-Face Fruit!"
"The Face-Face Fruit is a name coined by the author. Its true name is unknown."
"This is the most unique and bizarre Devil Fruit, capable of subtly bending the will of others to the user's own, forcing them to make concessions!"
"If the target refuses to yield, they may suffer misfortune, fall seriously ill, or even die!"
"It is said that if the Face-Face Fruit is awakened, even non-living things, including the sea, will have to give face. Thus, the user of the Face-Face Fruit is the only Devil Fruit user who isn't rejected by the sea!"
