Chapter 225: Fruit Review
Chapter 225: Fruit Review
Charlotte kept praying in his heart, hoping it would be a powerful Devil Fruit.
Finally, he spotted the name of the fruit on a page.
"Paramecia Glass-Glass Fruit?"
Charlotte frowned while reading the brief description.
"The Glass-Glass Fruit allows the user to create glass and transform into glass."
That was it. Just two or three lines.
"A Paramecia-type Glass-Glass Fruit? This fruit doesn't seem very useful."
Charlotte examined the fruit carefully.
He really couldn't think of any significant applications. Create glass? How would that be useful in combat?
To Charlotte's knowledge, glass is fragile, except for some types of tempered glass. Most glass shatters easily when dropped.
"Unless the user enhances the glass's durability, it's practically useless."
Perhaps, if developed properly, it could work like Cracker's Biscuit Fruit, creating glass soldiers instead.
Charlotte sighed and placed the Glass-Glass Fruit on the second shelf of his safe, alongside other Paramecia fruits.

Charlotte's Devil Fruit cabinet had three tiers:
1. Top shelf (Logia):
Swamp-Swamp Fruit
Gas-Gas Fruit
Snow-Snow Fruit
2. Middle shelf (Paramecia):
Bomb-Bomb Fruit
Sickle-Sickle Fruit
Slow-Slow Fruit
Mirror-Mirror Fruit
Door-Door Fruit
Prosperity Fruit
Temperature Fruit
Heat-Heat Fruit
Obsidian Fruit
Medicine-Medicine Fruit
Stone-Stone Fruit
Glass-Glass Fruit
(Twelve Paramecia fruits in total!)
3. Bottom shelf (Zoan):
Ancient Zoan: Sarcosuchus Fruit (King Crocodile)
Mythical Zoan: Vampire Fruit
Mythical Zoan: Artificial Dragon Fruit (Azure Dragon model)
Charlotte also had an unknown fruit, which he placed separately for further investigation.

These Devil Fruits were Charlotte's precious collection, prepared for his future children.
"Although I already have thirteen children, there will definitely be more. After all, there are no condoms in this world!"
Charlotte chuckled at his own thoughts.
"Getting pregnant here is like winning the lottery, but luckily, I have great aim!"
He suddenly paused.
"Wait… if I find condoms, would they even work here?"
Charlotte grinned mischievously.
He recalled how Ivan, his quartermaster, constantly complained about money shortages.
"Maybe selling condoms could be a lucrative business?"
But after thinking it through, Charlotte dismissed the idea.
"Damn it! I'm one of the Four Legendary Pirates of the New World—the world's greatest swordsman, the Bloodblade King, Captain of the Rockefeller Pirates! How can I stoop to selling contraceptives?"
He imagined himself meeting Whitebeard or the Golden Lion in the future.
"If they find out, I'll never hear the end of it!"
"Forget it! Enough nonsense. Time for bed!"
---
Charlotte glanced at the clock. It was already 2:30 AM.
He climbed into bed, closed his eyes…
…then quietly got back up, tiptoeing toward another room.
---
"What are you doing?"
A sleepy, annoyed voice came from the bed.
It sounded like a pouting little girl awakened from her slumber.
"Hehe! Just cuddling you… Don't move, don't move!"
Charlotte's playful tone filled the room.
Moments later, strange noises echoed through the night.
---
Early the next morning…
Charlotte strolled out, looking refreshed despite not sleeping.
"That was a good night!"
He returned to his room, packed all the Devil Fruits into a suitcase, and prepared to leave.
Then, he paused.
"Hmm… should I take the Azure Dragon Fruit too?"
After some thought, Charlotte grabbed the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit and placed it in the suitcase.

Charlotte found Monica, the head maid, who had served him for nearly eight years.
"Monica! Take these four Devil Fruits and distribute them among the maids. I trust your judgment!"
Charlotte handed Monica a box containing four Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
The knowing look in Charlotte's eyes made Monica blush.
"Ugh… Master's little schemes are so obvious."
She opened the box and saw the fruit labels:
Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit (Lop-Eared Rabbit model)
Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit (Lion Rabbit model)
Dog-Dog Fruit (Red Fox model)
Dog-Dog Fruit (Blue Fox model)
"Rabbits and foxes? The master's tastes are getting more and more eccentric!"
Monica's cheeks flushed as she glanced at Charlotte.
"I'll handle it, Master. Don't worry!"
Charlotte grinned and waved his hand.
---
"Damn it! Rabbits don't eat grass near their burrow, but I do!"
Charlotte muttered, knowing exactly what he was doing.
He didn't know how many maids he'd corrupted, each more beautiful than the last.
Charlotte hurried out, carrying the King Crocodile Fruit and Azure Dragon Fruit.
---
The banquet hall was still littered with passed-out pirates, exhausted from last night's revelry.
Charlotte searched for Barrett, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Barrett?" he asked a nearby maid.
"Captain! He's in his room!"
Charlotte nodded and walked off, but the maid's flirty gaze made him uncomfortable.
"These little minxes are always trying to seduce me!"
---
While walking down the corridor, Charlotte passed Caesar's room.
He hesitated, then pushed the door open.
Inside, Caesar was snoring loudly, sleeping like a log.
Charlotte's face darkened.
---
"Caesar!"
No response.
"Caesar!"
Still nothing.
"CAESAR!!"
---
"Ahhh!"
Caesar jumped up, heart pounding.
He looked around in a daze, only to see Charlotte's stern face.
"Dad?!"
"What? Don't recognize me?" Charlotte growled.
"N-No! Of course not! You're my dearest father!"
Caesar quickly backpedaled, fearing Charlotte's iron fists.
"Look at you! Sleeping like a lazy pig! Get dressed, now!"
Charlotte sighed, disappointed in his eldest son's slothfulness.
---
Caesar hurriedly dressed and stood at attention.
Charlotte sat on the bed, glancing at Caesar before pulling out a box.
The lid opened, revealing a pink Devil Fruit inside.
