"Remember to promote the cheaper modified wooden ships to them. All they need is a ship that can move without relying on sails anyway."
"Those modified wooden ships are much cheaper than steel warships, they shouldn't refuse."
Nox smiled.
Steel warships are very expensive and perform very well. His Limitless Pirates rarely have them, so naturally, he doesn't want to sell them.
Modifying the power system of wooden ships to allow them to sail in the Calm Belt is cheaper. John and the others should prefer wooden ships to save money.
"Okay, I understand."
Athena instantly understood Nox's meaning.
Before the Limitless Pirates' ships were completely replaced, the steel warships should not be sold if possible.
"Nox, you asked me to look for hidden Devil Fruits in Wano Country and the surrounding islands. I found one, I wonder if it's the one you're looking for?"
Shakky took out a Devil Fruit and handed it over, saying.
"It's this one, Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nue Form!"
When he saw the Devil Fruit Shakky brought, Nox immediately stood up and recognized it at a glance.
It is rumored that this Devil Fruit can allow one to discern good and evil, and also possess the power of curses. It is a very powerful Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
"Mythical Zoan?"
Shakky was very surprised. She didn't expect this Devil Fruit to be a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Her luck left her speechless.
"Esdeath and the others are also eight years old now, they can eat Devil Fruits."
"The earlier you eat a Devil Fruit, the earlier you start developing it, and the greater the possibility of Awakening in the future."
Nox looked at Esdeath and the others playing by the sea and said.
"Okay, we'll listen to you."
Shakky nodded, saying that Nox understood the education of child better than they did.
Afterward, Nox went back and took out all the Devil Fruits, then called all the child over.
"Father, Father!"
Hearing Nox say that he was going to give them Devil Fruits, Esdeath and the others excitedly ran over.
Although they were child, they had already started learning in the Limitless Sword School when they were five years old, and they understood a lot of knowledge now.
Naturally, they also yearned for Devil Fruits that could give people incredible power.
"Come, all the Devil Fruits Father has collected are here. See which one you want."
Nox handed a list to Esdeath and the others, which contained all the Devil Fruits Nox had collected, along with detailed information about the Devil Fruits.
And he put the Devil Fruits he considered to have the most potential at the top, so that these little ones wouldn't have to search for them themselves.
Of course, he didn't write down the Vampire Devil Fruit; that was for himself, and he didn't plan to take it out.
"Hmm, this one is amazing, no, this one is even more amazing!"
Looking at the tangled expressions of the five child, Nox waited patiently with a amused expression.
"Father, Father, I want one too!"
Ares, who was just three years old, saw that his older siblings all had something from Father, but he didn't, so he directly hugged Nox, blinking his eyes and looking with a look of longing.
"Be good, Ares. When Ares grows up, Father will give you one too."
"Here, have a banana."
Nox smiled, picked up Ares, peeled a banana, and put it to his mouth.
"Munch munch!"
When Ares saw there was food, he immediately stopped fussing and happily ate the banana in Father's arms.
He really didn't understand why his older siblings didn't eat the delicious bananas and looked at those papers. They were too stupid, not as smart as Ares.
"Father, I've decided, I want to choose this one!"
Esdeath was the first to make a choice, pointing at the first Devil Fruit on the list and saying.
"Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Okuchi no Makami Form, a Mythical Zoan with ice power. A good choice, this Devil Fruit should be very suitable for you."
Seeing Esdeath's choice, Nox nodded.
This Devil Fruit was eaten by Kaido's daughter Yamato in the original story, and it didn't seem to fully utilize the power of a Mythical Zoan, but he believed his daughter wouldn't disappoint him.
Immediately, Nox took out this Devil Fruit and gave it to Esdeath.
"Ugh, it's so disgusting!"
As soon as Esdeath took a bite, she immediately felt like she had eaten shit, vomiting frantically, but nothing came out.
"Esdeath, you have to eat the whole Devil Fruit, otherwise it will affect the development of the fruit's ability later."
Nox looked at Esdeath with a serious expression and said.
"Huh?"
Hearing Nox's words, Esdeath's face fell. Even if she was unwilling, she could only pinch her nose and swallow it down greedily!
However, what Esdeath didn't notice was that Lesley and the other two were looking at Nox with strange expressions.
They clearly remembered that Nox had told them that they only needed to take one bite of a Devil Fruit.
However, seeing Nox's serious face with a hint of a smile, they didn't expose Nox's playful lie.
"Howl!!!"
As soon as Esdeath finished eating, she immediately transformed into a two-meter-tall giant snow wolf, radiating a cold aura.
The extreme cold made Drake and the others feel as if they had been thrown into a -40 degree refrigerator.
Nox was prepared for this and immediately took out Sea Stone handcuffs to shackle Esdeath's hands, causing Esdeath to immediately return to her true form.
"Father, I have no strength!"
As soon as Esdeath returned to her true form, she immediately fell to the ground.
"Esdeath, you just ate the Devil Fruit, and you can't control your ability well, it's easy to hurt others. You can only take off the Sea Stone handcuffs when you can control your power."
Nox said with a serious expression.
If he hadn't stopped Esdeath's cold power just now, Drake and the others would have been frozen.
"I understand, Father."
Esdeath said weakly.
"Father, I've also chosen, I want this Paramecia, Magnet Fruit."
Gaenie excitedly announced his choice.
"Oh? You actually chose this Devil Fruit. Gaenie, have you really made your choice? Paramecia Devil Fruits are not easy to develop. Are you really sure?"
Nox said seriously.
Paramecia Devil Fruits are not weak, but they are more difficult to develop than Zoan and Logia types, at least that's what Nox believes.
Compared to Paramecia Devil Fruits, many people prefer to choose Zoan Mythical Zoan.
"Yes, I've decided, Father. Didn't you tell us the story of the Sword Immortal? I want to become a great Sword Immortal in the future!"
A serious expression appeared on Gaenie's tender little face.
However, Nox was stunned when he saw this. This is the World of Pirate King, what kind of Sword Immortal.
He had only told such stories to coax these little ones to sleep, and he didn't expect Gaenie to take the Sword Immortal seriously.
"Alright, since you're serious, then don't regret it. The Devil Fruit is an ability that will accompany you throughout your life."
Seeing Gaenie so determined, Nox didn't say anything further. This was the child's own choice.
Then Nox took out the Magnet Fruit and gave it to Gaenie.
"Ugh!!"
Without any surprise, as soon as Gaenie took a bite, he immediately felt the same as Esdeath just now, almost throwing up his stomach.
"Gaenie, you have to eat the whole Devil Fruit, otherwise it will affect the development of your abilities in the future!"
This voice made Gaenie's already pale face even more unsightly.
However, this time it wasn't Nox who said it, but Esdeath, who was lying on the ground weakly, even though she had no strength now.
But it still didn't stop her from watching her younger brother enjoy the painful process she had just experienced.
"Buzz!!!"
When Gaenie had just finished eating the Devil Fruit and was about to try his ability.
Suddenly, some swords and knives in the room shook, and then the next moment, they all rushed towards Gaenie at high speed.
Gaenie at this moment seemed like a huge magnet source, attracting the surrounding iron objects towards him.
Seeing this scene, Gaenie was instantly dumbfounded.
However, Nox was quick-witted and put Sea Stone handcuffs on Gaenie's hands.
Immediately, the flying iron objects all lost power and fell to the ground.
"I have no strength!"
The next moment, Gaenie also immediately lay weakly on the ground like Esdeath.
"Gaenie, it's the same for you. You are not allowed to take off the Sea Stone handcuffs until you can fully control the Devil Fruit."
Nox said with a serious expression.
The situation just now was a bit dangerous. If Gaenie couldn't control himself, he could have been killed.
"Father, I choose this Animal-Type Mythical Zoan Nue Form Devil Fruit!"
Rhea said impatiently, afraid that her older brothers and sisters would snatch the Devil Fruit she liked.
"Rhea, Father asks you, are you really sure you want to choose this Devil Fruit? Its ability is the power of curses, which is a very dangerous and terrifying ability."
Nox patiently and seriously asked again. He hoped his child would seriously choose the ability that would accompany them throughout their lives.
"Father, I am very sure. I really like the power of curses."
Rhea said with a serious expression on her small face.
Nox looked at Rhea. Rhea had always been a good girl in their eyes, how could she like something like curses? However, he didn't say anything further and handed the Devil Fruit to Rhea.
"Ugh!!"
As a foodie, Rhea was not picky about food, but she really couldn't stand something as disgusting as a Devil Fruit.
This time, without anyone reminding her, Rhea quickly forced herself to eat it despite the discomfort.
"Rhea is amazing!"
Seeing Rhea's speed, Esdeath and Gaenie, who had just experienced the unpleasant taste of the Devil Fruit, were full of admiration for Rhea. As expected of a professional foodie, she could eat a Devil Fruit so quickly.
As soon as Rhea finished eating, Nox saw her directly transform into a two-meter-tall Nue mythical beast form.
