Ace took it and saw that it was a strange fruit, pink in color, with scale-like protrusions on it, and spiral patterns on these scales.

"This is!"

Ace's eyes widened.

Even if he was incredibly ignorant, he had heard of the legends surrounding this thing, "A Devil Fruit??"

He said incredulously, "For me? This must be something very precious?"

The only people with special abilities he had ever seen were a few from the battle in the Goa Kingdom last night.

However, each of them possessed terrifyingly powerful abilities.

A fierce wind arose, freezing the earth, stirring up the islands, and Ian's flames burned everything.

Devil Fruits, I guess they're referring to the kind of abilities they possess?

Should we just give him that immense power like that?

"Hey! Ian!"

Behind her, Yamato also jumped out of the cabin, looking at the fruit in Ace's hand with surprise, "Isn't that a copy of Dad's power?"

"replica?"

Ace was stunned again.

"This fruit is a replica of the power of my teacher, the Pirate Emperor Kaido of the Beasts."

Ian explained to Ace, "But don't worry, it's no different from the real thing; it's a genuine Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."

"Zoan type, Mythical Zoan?"

Ace looked somewhat bewildered.

However, they did not know what this type of Devil Fruit meant.

"Brother Ian, you're saying this replica's abilities are no different from Kaido's? You've never told us that before!"

Upon hearing Ian's words, Jack, who was nearby, was immediately moved.

He was well aware of the terrifying power contained in Kaido's Azure Dragon form.

"Because we hadn't been able to find a suitable consumer for it before."

Ian looked at Ace and said calmly, "Ace is qualified."

While some of these traits may hinder unity, Devil Fruits are certainly ranked in terms of quality.

The Azure Dragon Fruit is undoubtedly at the top of all Devil Fruits, and even among the Mythical Zoan types, it is probably only inferior to Nika.

Such a powerful Devil Fruit can only be maximized when eaten by someone with top-tier talent.

That's the kind of person Ace is.

However, Zoro's aptitude isn't much worse, but he's a pure swordsman and doesn't need a Devil Fruit to compensate for his physical defects. Ian is going to give him the two swords that Kozuki Oden kept on Onigashima.

Ace's expression suddenly changed, and he unconsciously clenched the Devil Fruit in his hand.

Does Ian really value himself that much?

"is it?"

Jack glanced at Ace up and down, but didn't find anything special about the kid.

Not to mention comparing myself to Brother Ian, I was much stronger than him even when I was his age.

But since Brother Ian said that, he must have his reasons.

Jack has always unconditionally trusted his older brother Ian!

So he said seriously to Ace, "Kid, you absolutely mustn't let Brother Ian down! If you waste this fruit, then Brother Ian won't even have to lift a finger; I'll kill you myself!"

It has that Uncle Jin vibe.

Ian chuckled, "Don't worry about it, Ace, just take it one step at a time."

"Don't look down on me, Ian!"

Ace, however, smirked, "I'll show you just how far I can go!"

He has never been a timid or cowardly person.

Although he felt sorry for himself, it was only because he felt that his bastard father had brought too much harm to the world.

Without hesitation, Ace took a bite of the fruit in his hand.

Since Ian has said so, what is there to hesitate about?

The next step is simple: prove to everyone that Ian made the right choice.

"Oh!"

Yamato was already looking forward to it, "Will I become like Dad?"

Ace's face instantly turned ashen. "This tastes awful!"

Is that why it's called a Devil Fruit?

"How about it?"

Yamato is really looking forward to it.

"Well!"

Ace's brows furrowed instantly.

The effects of a Devil Fruit are immediate after it is eaten.

Using abilities is almost as simple as instinct, except for Momonosuke, of course.

"is that so?"

Ace's body changed almost instantly; scales began to appear on his skin, and his body began to elongate.

"Oh!!"

Yamato's eyes lit up instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a pink dragon about ten meters long had already coiled up on the deck.

Pink scales, pink whiskers, yellow mane, and yellow horns.

It looks very immature, with its horns still appearing rounded, but you can already glimpse its terrifying future.

"Uh-oh!"

All the friends were drawn to the changes here, and Law exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really a complete replica of Admiral Kaido's abilities?"

"The colors are different."

"Black Mary said softly."

“Brother Ian said that apart from his color, his other abilities are the same as Boss Kaido’s,” Jack said.

"Doesn't that mean,"

Violet swallowed hard. "A genuine mythical beast?"

"Mythical Zoan? What's that?"

Zoro and Kuina are rather ignorant.

Hancock looked at Ace with a rather critical gaze, "Does this kid deserve this fruit? Don't waste Ian's hard work."

Drake said seriously, "Since this is Lord Ian's decision, then this child must have some extraordinary qualities."

"Too!"

Hancock's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Ian. "Ian couldn't possibly be wrong!"

Ian's lips twitched. "Ace, try out all the abilities you have."

In the original work, Momonosuke spent a lot of effort learning just the Flame Cloud and Heat Breath techniques.

Would Ace do the same?

"it is good!"

Xiao Long responded loudly, "Let me see, is this how it should be?"

Yellow clouds emerged from his four claws, and he kept grabbing onto the clouds as he flew into the sky.

"Oh! Can you make clouds?"

Ace exclaimed in surprise as he began testing his other abilities, "And then—"

He took a deep breath and then sprayed the paint.

call!

A burst of flame suddenly shot out of his mouth.

It wasn't very large, and it couldn't compare to Teacher Kai's flames that could blow up a mountain in a matter of minutes. Compared to Ian, who specialized in fire, it was worlds apart.

But it did spray out.

"Hahaha! There's more!"

Ace laughed like a child who had just received a toy. He rolled his body, and a gust of wind suddenly spread out.

Then came a furious roar, and lightning leaped from its mouth.

Indeed, ability is ability; there's no such thing as consuming something and then not being able to use it.

Ian chuckled. "Momonosuke is just too useless."

"It's exactly the same ability as Admiral Kaido!"

Luo's lips twitched slightly.

Vegapunk, terrifying!

"Amazing!"

Guina stared blankly up at the sky.

If she also ate a Devil Fruit like that, could she completely ignore the differences between men and women?
