The Paramecia Zoom-Zoom Fruit has three major abilities. Among them, X-Ray Vision and Mind Reading require a set pose to activate, while Clairvoyance has no windup at all.
If the Float-Float Fruit fits the More-More Fruit best, then the Zoom-Zoom Fruit fits the Teleport-Teleport Fruit best.
As long as he obtains the Paramecia Teleport-Teleport Fruit, Yami can say without exaggeration, "The world is vast, and I go where I will."
He will be able to traverse the Four Seas and both halves of the Grand Line countless times in a single day, going wherever he pleases.
Even scarier, the Teleport-Teleport Fruit can bring companions along in an instant, or send people to specified locations.
The Zoom-Zoom Fruit combined with the Door-Door Fruit's pocket dimension is already unsolvable.
If he adds the Teleport-Teleport Fruit on top, never mind a Buster Call, even a joint force of a Yonko crew and the Marines will not be able to catch Yami.
They will only be able to watch as a multi-fruit physique user slowly grows into a cross-dimensional monster beyond comprehension.
Therefore, the Paramecia Teleport-Teleport Fruit is a prize Yami must take.
"Doffy, I brought the things."
At that moment, Diamante returned carrying a Devil Fruit encyclopedia and the Wang Zhi Pirates' wanted posters.
Receiving the encyclopedia and posters, Doflamingo handed them to Yami.
"Carina, sit next to me."
Yami patted the sofa beside him and turned to the girl standing behind it.
"Yes, Master."
Carina answered sweetly, sat down at Yami's side, took the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, and opened it.
At the same time, Nami and Perona stood behind Carina, reading along over her shoulder.
Seeing this, a glint flashed beneath Doflamingo's sunglasses, and he covertly sized up Perona, who was hugging a ghost plush.
By the look of it, the pink-haired maid was the new Float-Float user.
While the girls studied the encyclopedia, Yami looked through the Wang Zhi Pirates' wanted posters.
Wang Zhi, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, now lord of Hachinosu.
As an old-era great pirate, Wang Zhi's strength and influence were second only to Yonko crews, the kind of existence that would cost an Emperor a slice of flesh to bring down.
In the Loki Port incident of the original account, Blackbeard defeated Wang Zhi with Koby's help.
Several veteran members of the Blackbeard Pirates gained their powers from spoils captured off Wang Zhi's crew.
The Paramecia Teleport-Teleport Fruit was among them.
Studying Elliot Borg's wanted poster, Yami pondered how to seize the man's Fruit.
As with Enel and Kizaru, to take down someone who can teleport, unless the target chooses not to flee, assassination is the only method.
Unlike Enel and Kizaru's teleport-like movements, which have at least a hint of windup, Yami did not know whether the Teleport-Teleport user had any windup at all. If not, assassination would be even harder than against Enel.
If he cannot kill in a single strike, the man will bolt the instant he sees Yami in the future.
Yami would have to prepare carefully.
"Huh? This one is also a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?"
Carina's delighted voice pulled Yami back to the moment.
He glanced at her and saw her eyes sparkling at an illustration of a certain Fruit.
It was white tinged with cherry pink, its rind covered in special spiral patterns.
Beside the Fruit were its name and compiled notes from the editorial team, along with basic ability summaries.
Seeing the name, Yami's expression turned a touch strange. He already knew who the current host was and where they were.
"Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox model?"
Nami read the name aloud and paused in surprise.
Then she teased with a grin. "A fox spirit. A nine-tailed fox. This Fruit might really suit you, Carina."
"Mufufufu… I think so too."
Carina ignored Nami's teasing and felt the instinct was right.
Judging from the encyclopedia entry, it matched her perfectly.
Although the Mythical Zoan Vampire form Master had recommended was strong, Carina felt that compared to the Vampire, this Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox form fit her even better.
"This ability is so strong."
Perona looked as if she had discovered a treasure, her lips parting in amazement.
Yami's pupils narrowed slightly, genuinely surprised. "So the Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox form actually has this set of abilities."
In that instant, the disadvantage of being a traveler showed.
Having played the Red Count game, Yami understood how powerful the Mythical Zoan Vampire form was.
Before crossing over, the One Piece world had only just begun its final saga, and Catarina Devon's Nine-Tailed Fox form had only shown shapeshifting so far.
That initial impression made Yami, without checking the encyclopedia, subconsciously assume the Nine-Tailed Fox was inferior to the Vampire. In truth, Mythical Zoans have no weaklings.
Even the Yamata-no-Orochi model is extremely powerful. If its host had not been Kurozumi Orochi, and a true powerhouse had eaten it, the seas would have seen yet another dominant Mythical Zoan user.
He exhaled and smiled in relief.
Then he reached out to ruffle Carina's hair and asked with a grin, "Do you want this Devil Fruit instead of the one I prepared before?"
"Master, I want this Devil Fruit."
Carina's eyes lit up. She immediately caught Yami's meaning and pointed excitedly at the Nine-Tailed Fox entry.
The moment she saw the Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox form that Nami had dubbed a fox-spirit Fruit, her intuition told her it suited her better.
Its base abilities were exactly what Carina had long dreamed of.
"Good. I'll go fetch this Devil Fruit now."
Overflowing with indulgence for Carina, Yami turned to Doflamingo. "Joker, may I borrow this Devil Fruit encyclopedia for a bit. In a few days, when I come for the Haki handbook, I'll return it along with the gold."
"Fufufufufu… no problem. Take your time. You can even make a copy and give me that. It isn't worth much."
Doflamingo stood up and spoke with great magnanimity.
"Then I won't be polite. We'll be going ahead."
Yami nodded with a smile and left the King's Plateau with the girls.
Doflamingo courteously saw them to the door. He watched their figures disappear without turning back.
Only when the Pegasus rose into the air and left Dressrosa, and Diamante returned from seeing them off at the harbor, did Doflamingo raise a slightly trembling hand to push up his sunglasses. Then, in a tone more solemn than ever, he ordered Diamante, "Diamante, take over the family's intelligence unit at once. Contact Vergo and quietly borrow Marine intelligence capabilities. I want you to investigate who the previous eater of the Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox model was."
"Doffy, what happened?"
Seeing Doflamingo willing to deploy the family's hidden card, Diamante was startled and asked quickly.
"I have an unbelievable suspicion. I hope it isn't true."
Doflamingo rubbed his temples and said in a low voice, "Hurry and investigate. I want an answer tonight."
"Understood."
Realizing Doflamingo's exceptional concern, Diamante answered at once and hurried to the family's intelligence base.
