"Speaking of which, the surgical fruit should be paired with a scalpel."
"That's unnecessary. A cat's claws are the sharpest knives; there are ten of them."
Kate herself doesn't have a habit of using knives; she either uses a gun or her bare hands, but that's irrelevant.
The same fruit can manifest in different ways depending on the person wielding it. Apart from some essential gestures for activating the ability, such as the hand shape of the Barrier Fruit, everything else depends on personal habits.
If you have enough ability, you can achieve your goals without weapons.
Given Kate's usual combat habits, she would probably become an excellent battlefield medic; electric shock pulses and cardiac shocks are things she's best at.
"I think the advantage of this fruit right now is that it's relatively small."
Compared to the Mercury Fruit, Book-Book Fruit, and Rumble-Rumble Fruit that we've seen before, the Op-Op Fruit is noticeably smaller.
After comparing the two options, Kate ultimately chose to swallow it whole.
It's a well-known fact that Devil Fruits taste terrible; even Ginny, who isn't picky about food, can't stand the taste.
After examining the surgical fruit a few more times, Kate swallowed it whole. A moment later, a semi-circular space expanded outward from Kate as its center.
This is the surgical space of the Op-Op Fruit. Many of the Op-Op Fruit's abilities depend on this space to be fully utilized.
Within this space, there are rules unique to those who possess the Op-Op Fruit ability.
"This ability is even more convenient than I thought."
She pointed at the water glass on the table, and the glass flew into Kate's hand, then switched places with the pen holder.
The next moment, the pen holder was cut into several sections in Kate's hands like a squid ring and then reassembled.
"Of course, although it doesn't have the ability to transform into an element, the Op-Op Fruit has extremely strong potential. Let's develop it slowly. Once this fruit is awakened, it can ignore the enemy's defenses and strike directly inside the enemy."
The noble true damage, the kind that can directly ignore the opponent's defense. In the original timeline's Onigashima War, even Charlotte Linlin's Steel Balloon was pierced by the awakened Ope Ope no Mi.
This also created a misunderstanding, making Kidd think he was very strong, since the results list showed that the two of them defeated Charlotte Linlin at the same time.
"By the way, pick a style you like, or I can make you a new one separately."
After Kate put the things back in their place, Oran pulled out another box from behind his back.
Because of the Book-Book Fruit, it wouldn't be surprising if Oran pulled out anything from his person; if there were enough space, he could even bring out a large mecha.
The box contains various styles of jewelry, including earrings, bracelets, hair clips, and necklaces.
However, this is not a jewelry box, but a P-particle shield.
After making one for Leliana, Oran has made many more over the years, all for the ability users around him.
Kate didn't eat a Devil Fruit before, so she didn't need this.
Now that she has reaped the benefits of the surgery, she naturally has to be on guard.
Finally, Kate picked out a hair tie, and then a bracelet, as a kind of double insurance.
"Your Majesty Oran! Good news... no, bad news, but still good news!"
While Kate was tying her hair up, the elevator next to them made a sound, and then Brand rushed over and started rambling incoherently.
"Brand, calm down. What happened? Is it good news or bad news?"
"Well... I'm a little hesitant to comment. The king of the Drum Kingdom has passed away, and Prince Wapol has officially succeeded him."
Just now, Brand received a message from the Drum Kingdom that the king of the Drum Kingdom did not survive the winter and passed away last night.
The Grand Line does have four seasons, but it has its own unique way of dividing the seasons. For example, on a winter island, there will be four different degrees of winter.
Winter Island experiences temperatures comparable to the poles during winter.
The king of the Drum Kingdom was not in good health to begin with, and had been suffering from some illnesses for several years. His condition had improved slightly after treatment, but an accident still occurred.
Even the doctors in the Drum Kingdom couldn't completely prevent this situation, after all, they were just doctors, not gods.
Piltover should offer its condolences for the passing of the king of a neighboring country with which it has a relatively friendly relationship.
The problem is that Brand knows what kind of person Wapol is. As Wapol gets older, he doesn't mature; instead, he becomes more willful and stubborn.
Even as a prince, he had already caused chaos and unrest throughout the country. Now that power has fallen into his hands, the Drum Kingdom will definitely not gain any advantage.
If Brand were from Drum Kingdom, he'd probably be in a real bind right now, but he isn't.
This is undoubtedly good news for Piltover.
However, Brand felt it was improper to be happy about the death of the neighboring king, which is why he was conflicted.
"I see. Let's send a representative to express our condolences. Also, never mind, I'll handle the rest. You don't need to worry about it."
"Yes, Your Majesty Oran."
