Although there were only five women left by Rowan's side, every one of them was a first-class beauty.
In a sense, he could be said to be surrounded by beauties. Very romantic.
At first, Rowan still wanted to take the women around the One Piece world, visit places he had not visited yet, and taste foods he had not eaten before.
But ever since the live broadcast at the Holy Land Mary Geoise, no matter where Rowan went, someone would recognize him, causing an unprecedented commotion.
Good grief. The crowds were massive, and the noise was deafening.
It completely ruined the flavor of traveling for Rowan.
Especially during his trip to Water Seven. Rowan had originally wanted to go there and taste Water Seven's specialty, water-water meat.
But on the road, someone recognized him and shouted, "It's Lord Rowan!"
Then all of Water Seven exploded into commotion. Huge crowds came from every direction, surrounding him in layer after layer.
Rowan could not understand why these people were not afraid of him.
Was the scene of him leading people to slaughter their way through the World Government not fierce enough?
He simply could not make sense of it.
To avoid being watched like some rare animal, Rowan decisively pushed open an air door and left Water Seven.
Medea followed closely behind and said with a smile, "It seems you've already become a major celebrity. If you want to travel quietly, you'll have to change your face. Otherwise, no matter where you go, you'll cause a commotion."
When Rowan heard this, he thought that wasn't impossible.
He had refined chakra and learned the Transformation Technique, so he really could turn into someone else.
The problem was that Yamato and Smoothie had not learned the Transformation Technique, and Medea and Nero didn't know it either.
If Rowan traveled with them, the chance of being recognized would still not be small.
However, there was no road in the world that was truly blocked. If the One Piece world didn't work, he could just change to another world.
As it happened, not long after Rowan led everyone to deal with the World Government, the golden gate connected to a brand-new world.
He could take this chance to visit that new world.
But before stepping into the new world, Rowan went to find Heracles. He tried using mana to activate the Copy-Copy Fruit's ability and copy Heracles's Noble Phantasm, God Hand: Twelve Labors.
This Noble Phantasm was truly amazing. It allowed him to revive twelve times after death. Who wouldn't be envious after seeing that?
Rowan was also envious.
That was also why he had chosen to eat the Copy-Copy Fruit.
Unfortunately, it did not succeed.
Noble Phantasms could not be copied.
But what surprised Rowan was that although he failed to copy Twelve Labors, he successfully copied Heracles's innate skill…
Mind's Eye.
This was insight gained through training and discipline, allowing one to display battlefield perception.
Uh…
This could be considered the west not lighting up, but the east shining instead.
But then again, if the Copy-Copy Fruit could copy the innate skills of Heroic Spirits, then Rowan had far too many skills to choose from.
So he tried again and successfully copied Nero's innate skill…
Thrice-Setting Sun.
This was a skill derived from Nero's "experience of three sunsets before death."
It was a skill born from the anecdote before Nero's death. Legend said that three days after Nero slit her own throat and died, when the Roman soldiers who found her covered her with cloth, she once opened her eyes and comforted them.
It sounded somewhat abstract, but its effect was extremely frightening.
It allowed one to revive three times in battle.
Although it could not compare to Heracles's Twelve Labors, it was still a rare resurrection ability.
In addition, Rowan found King Hassan and copied King Hassan's innate skill…
Uncrowned Martial Arts.
Then he copied Heroic Spirit EMIYA's innate skill, Clairvoyance.
This Clairvoyance was different from the farsight magic Rowan had learned from Serie.
Farsight magic could see things very, very far away.
But Heroic Spirit EMIYA's Clairvoyance was actually a hawk's eye. From a high place, he could visually survey an entire town, search for enemies, and precisely capture high-speed-moving targets before sniping them.
It was extremely convenient.
Of course, he did not let Cu Chulainn go either. Rowan copied Protection from Arrows from him.
This ability had a bit of a conceptual skill feel to it. As long as the user visually confirmed the attacker, they could evade any long-range attack no matter the distance.
In other words, with this skill, it would be extremely difficult for enemies to ambush Rowan in the future.
Rowan also copied Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification. This ability was truly useful against enemies.
Finally, even Medea's innate skill, High-Speed Divine Words, was copied by Rowan.
To be honest, Rowan had initially wanted to copy the Golden Fleece, but later discovered that item-type skills like the Golden Fleece could not be copied. He could only settle for the next best thing and copy Medea's High-Speed Divine Words.
This skill was also quite good.
After finishing with the Heroic Spirits, Rowan did not let the others off either.
Byrnndi World's More-More Fruit ability, Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability, Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit ability, Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, Bonney's Age-Age Fruit ability.
There were also the Book-Book Fruit, Munch-Munch Fruit, Press-Press Fruit, Cook-Cook Fruit, Butter-Butter Fruit, Wring-Wring Fruit, Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Hobby-Hobby Fruit, Memory-Memory Fruit, Warp-Warp Fruit, Strong-Strong Fruit, String-String Fruit, Stitch-Stitch Fruit, and so on.
Rowan copied all of them once.
Of course, when Rowan copied these Devil Fruits, some of their users were not exactly willing.
For example, the user of the Munch-Munch Fruit, Wapol.
That guy was quite unwilling. But after Rowan slapped him into the ground and left him unable to get up, Wapol no longer dared say anything.
Of course, some people were quite willing.
For example, Doflamingo. That guy was very good at reading the situation.
When he heard Rowan wanted to copy his ability, he agreed without a word. He even let Rowan copy the abilities of all Devil Fruit users under him.
This was what it meant for a wise man to submit to circumstances.
That said, when Rowan copied these abilities, he actually found it quite unbelievable.
Logically speaking, the Copy-Copy Fruit was not supposed to be this powerful.
The true Copy-Copy Fruit could only copy one Devil Fruit.
When copying a second Devil Fruit, the ability of the first Devil Fruit would be overwritten.
So the user of the Copy-Copy Fruit could only use one Devil Fruit ability.
But for some reason, after Rowan used the Copy-Copy Fruit to copy these abilities, the abilities were imprinted onto the golden gate.
If Rowan wanted to use them, he could switch at any time.
Note: switch.
In other words, when Rowan used the copied power of the More-More Fruit, he could not use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
When he used the power of the Age-Age Fruit, he could not use the Paw-Paw Fruit.
This did not include the powers of the Door-Door Fruit, Revive-Revive Fruit, Soul-Soul Fruit, Hollow-Hollow Fruit, Black Dragon Fruit, and so on.
Because Rowan had already eaten those fruits.
Rowan could simultaneously activate the powers of those Devil Fruits and form so-called combo techniques.
But the copied abilities could not do that.
Each time, he could only use one of them. He could not simultaneously activate a second or even third copied power.
It had to be said, this was a pity.
But even so, Rowan was already very satisfied.
Because switching skills only took a single thought from him, allowing Rowan to play around with many more tricks.
Of course, if one asked whether it was possible to use these fruit powers at the same time—
It was not completely impossible.
The Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Bake-danuki was an extremely bug-like Devil Fruit.
The user could transform into a bake-danuki. That much went without saying; all Zoan Devil Fruits allowed the user to transform into animals.
And Mythical Zoans, after transforming into the corresponding creature, could obtain that creature's innate abilities.
For example, Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Azure Dragon not only allowed him to transform into an azure dragon, but also gave him control over fire, lightning, and wind.
The Yamata no Orochi form granted eight lives.
The Nine-Tailed Fox form could transform into the appearance of others. By touching the target, the user could imitate the other person's appearance, voice, and Devil Fruit ability. The imitation effect was lasting, and even if the person being imitated died, the effect would not disappear.
The Daibutsu form granted power, wisdom, and spirit like that of a Buddha, while also providing a giant golden Buddha body with both offense and defense, capable of releasing extremely powerful golden shockwaves to attack enemies.
This was why Mythical Zoans had become the answer to the current version.
Not only did they possess bodies superior to ordinary people, they also had abilities similar to manipulating nature or Paramecia-type fruits.
So what ability did the Bake-danuki form have?
Very simple.
The ability of the Bake-danuki form was transformation leaves.
Through the user's memories, they could summon other people to fight for them, with no limit on number.
This meant that after eating this Devil Fruit, one could use transformation leaves to summon Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and others to fight for them.
No limit on number meant one could summon ten Whitebeards, one hundred Whitebeards, or even one thousand Whitebeards.
Of course, that was only theoretical.
Because activating Devil Fruits consumed stamina. Wanting to summon one thousand Whitebeards to fight was not impossible.
The premise was that you had the stamina of one thousand Whitebeards.
But the problem was, who in the One Piece world had that kind of stamina?
Whitebeard and Garp could not. Even Rocks could not. Let alone anyone else.
But Rowan could.
Because Rowan could use mana and chakra to activate Devil Fruit powers.
As long as he had enough mana, he could summon one hundred or one thousand Whitebeards from his memories.
Not just Whitebeard. He could even summon Heracles, Serie, and others.
This was the method Rowan referred to when he said he could use multiple Devil Fruit powers at the same time.
So Rowan had to copy the ability of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Bake-danuki.
Fortunately, he knew who had eaten this fruit.
Through Morgans, he quickly found this person and copied the Devil Fruit's power from them.
Another thing worth mentioning was that aside from Devil Fruit abilities, the Copy-Copy Fruit could also copy physical techniques.
So Rowan did not hold back. He copied Hawkeye and Shimotsuki Ryuma's swordsmanship, Garp's fist techniques, Black Arm Zephyr's combat ability…
With that, Rowan no longer had any shortcomings.
Every aspect of him was terrifyingly strong.
With this level of strength, Rowan naturally had enough confidence to explore a new world.
