After Tsunade injected herself with the Superhuman Serum, Nico Robin, Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, Heracles, Cu Chulainn, Issho, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Smoothie, Yamato, and the others also received the serum one after another.
Hashirama chose the Warp-Warp Fruit, the Phoenix Fruit, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The reason he chose the Warp-Warp Fruit was the same as Tsunade's: it could be used to attack or retreat, allowing him to remain undefeated in battle.
He chose the Phoenix Fruit because he already had powerful self-healing ability.
Ever heard of healing without hand signs?
Then, with the Phoenix Fruit's regenerative flames stacked on top of that, Hashirama's life force became ridiculously abundant.
Even if half his head were blown apart, he could heal from it.
As for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, when combined with his Wood Release, whether it was the Wood Dragon Technique or the Wood Golem Technique, the results were terrifying. It raised his combat power by several levels.
Next was Tobirama.
He did not choose the Warp-Warp Fruit, because he already knew the Flying Thunder God Technique. There was no need for him to choose teleportation.
He only chose one fruit: the Soul-Soul Fruit.
He already had his own unique research into souls, and now, combined with the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, countless wild ideas immediately surfaced in his mind.
The Otsutsuki were indeed powerful, but when it came to the soul, they were not much different from anyone else.
So Tobirama wanted to start from the soul and develop a unique ninjutsu that would give the Otsutsuki clan a nice surprise.
As for Nico Robin, she chose the Warp-Warp Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The mobility of the Warp-Warp Fruit went without saying.
As for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, her reasoning was similar to Hashirama's.
She could summon a massive number of arms. If every one of those arms carried the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, who could possibly withstand that?
One punch, and your head would explode.
Heracles made only one choice: the Strong-Strong Fruit.
He was already the God of Strength, and after eating the Strong-Strong Fruit, his power became even more terrifying. Combined with his immense strength and combat skill, almost no one could stop him.
Cu Chulainn chose the Warp-Warp Fruit and the Phoenix Fruit.
One increased his mobility, while the other strengthened his recovery. With these two abilities, even if he had to face his teacher, Scáthach, Queen of the Land of Shadows, he dared to fight her.
Issho was originally the user of the Gravity Fruit. After receiving the Superhuman Serum, he thought it over and chose the Phoenix Fruit.
With this fruit, he now possessed powerful recovery.
In battle, he could fight for even longer.
Another thing worth mentioning was that he had originally been blind. But after eating the Phoenix Fruit, his ruined eyes recovered with the help of the fruit's power, and he could once again see the world.
"How does it feel to see the world again?"
Rowan asked with a smile.
Issho was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Very good. Perhaps I can use these eyes to personally witness the arrival of a new era."
Back then, he had blinded himself because he couldn't bear to look at the darkness of the world.
Now that a new era was coming, perhaps these eyes had recovered at exactly the right time.
Kaido was already one of the top fighters in the world and possessed an extremely powerful body. After receiving the Superhuman Serum, the improvement it brought him was not as massive as one might imagine.
The only obvious change was that he became much younger, and his vitality grew even more abundant.
After thinking it over, he chose the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Thunder Bagua plus the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
He could hardly imagine who would be able to withstand his attacks. Whitebeard? Not even Whitebeard could.
Among everyone present, Charlotte Linlin underwent the greatest change after receiving the Superhuman Serum.
Once the serum took effect inside her body, she began visibly growing younger. Even her bloated figure slimmed down in a short amount of time.
Half an hour later, the ugly, fat old woman had transformed into a curvy, beautiful woman.
She had returned to the appearance she had in her twenties.
"Mamamama, this feeling really takes me back."
Charlotte Linlin stretched, feeling the long-lost vitality in her body, and smiled so widely she could barely close her mouth.
It had been a very, very long time since she had felt like this.
It was as though she had become young again.
No, not as though.
She really had become young again.
The giants' lifespan was around three hundred years. In the eyes of the giant race, Charlotte Linlin, who was only in her sixties, was not even a third of the way through her life. She was still a little girl.
"Thank you, Lord Rowan."
Charlotte Linlin threw Rowan a flirtatious glance.
Hadn't she sent her daughter Smoothie to stay by Rowan's side precisely so Smoothie could win him over and earn his favor?
Now that she had become young again, wouldn't it be even better if she personally stepped forward and became Rowan's woman?
Rowan had to admit that Charlotte Linlin in her youth was genuinely beautiful.
The problem was, no matter how beautiful she was, Rowan felt no attraction whatsoever.
Not only because Charlotte Linlin had dozens of children, but also because she had forty-three husbands whom she had used and then abandoned.
That alone was enough to make Rowan's heart as still as water when facing Charlotte Linlin.
No matter how beautiful she was, it was useless.
Charlotte Linlin naturally noticed this too. She snorted unhappily, gave up on the idea she had just had, and once again placed her hopes on her daughter Smoothie.
Yamato had the same idea as her father Kaido. After receiving the Superhuman Serum, she chose the Tremor-Tremor Fruit without hesitation.
Thunder Bagua combined with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was just too tempting.
In addition, she also chose the Warp-Warp Fruit to increase her mobility.
Smoothie hesitated for a while, then also chose the Warp-Warp Fruit.
The next few people also chose the Warp-Warp Fruit.
This fruit quietly claimed MVP and became the most chosen Devil Fruit.
Rowan had to admit that the Warp-Warp Fruit was truly authoritative.
It was genuinely too useful.
Those who didn't choose the Warp-Warp Fruit were in the extreme minority.
Serie was one of them. The reason she didn't choose the Warp-Warp Fruit was because she herself was proficient in teleportation magic, so she had no need for it.
She chose the Soul-Soul Fruit instead.
The soul was something that even a great mage like her could not fully understand.
But now, with the Soul-Soul Fruit, she could manipulate souls.
In the future, when her students grew old, she could even extract their souls and place them inside clone bodies, allowing them to live again. In a sense, it was another form of longevity.
Orochimaru also chose the Soul-Soul Fruit.
His idea was similar to Serie's.
If they couldn't find Pure Gold, and if they couldn't develop the immortality serum, then he would use the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit to perfect his Living Corpse Reincarnation and achieve another form of immortality.
Aside from those two, Rowan also chose the Soul-Soul Fruit.
However, Rowan didn't eat it himself. Instead, he used the power of the Shinigami to refine the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Now the Shinigami's power had refined the Yomi-Yomi Fruit, the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, and the Soul-Soul Fruit. Its power had once again sublimated, becoming even more powerful.
Rowan felt more and more like a true Shinigami now.
A Shinigami who could harvest souls, create souls, and control life and death.
However, just as Rowan was immersed in the pleasure of his growing strength, a sudden piece of news shocked him.
Ace had been captured.
Morgans personally told Rowan this.
Not long ago, Morgans had received a call from Fleet Admiral Sengoku, asking him to publish a piece of news in the World Economic News.
Admiral Akainu had captured Ace, Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In ten days, Ace would be publicly executed at Marineford in front of the entire world.
Uh…
What was going on?
When Rowan heard this news, he was completely confused.
Blackbeard had already been captured by him and turned into a test subject, so why was Ace still captured?
And this time, the one who captured Ace wasn't anyone else.
It was Admiral Akainu.
The very man who killed him in the original story.
Why was this kid so unlucky? Was this trial destined to happen no matter what?
Rowan couldn't make sense of it.
He truly hadn't expected that after entering the One Piece world, working so hard for so long, changing a massive amount of the plot, and practically wearing out the butterfly's wings from flapping them so much, the Summit War was still going to break out.
Hmm…
Rowan scratched his head, then immediately gathered everyone and told them about the matter.
When Nico Robin heard that Ace had been captured, her eyes flickered.
"This is a good opportunity."
"What good opportunity?" Ryuma asked.
Robin slowly said, "Ace has been captured and will be publicly executed. Without question, the Navy intends to use this chance to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates."
"The Summit War is about to break out."
"When the time comes, the whole world's attention will be focused on that war."
"The three Admirals, Sengoku, Garp, and the rest of the Navy's senior forces will all be stationed at Marineford, waiting for Whitebeard."
"When they're locked in battle and unable to break away, we can gather all our forces, attack Mary Geoise, and behead the Five Elders, the God's Knights, and the hidden ruler of the World Government, Imu."
"With our current strength, doing that won't be difficult."
"By the time the Navy reacts, they won't be able to reinforce Mary Geoise."
"We can settle everything in one battle and completely destroy the World Government."
"And save this world."
Hearing that, Rowan suddenly understood.
"Take advantage of the Summit War and settle the score with the World Government once and for all? Fine. I have no problem with that. What about the rest of you? Any thoughts?"
Hashirama, Heracles, Emiya, Medea, Medusa, Tobirama, Orochimaru, Issho, and the others all shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.
They agreed with the plan.
Settle everything in one decisive battle, completely crush the World Government, and save this world.
