"Its called Tattoo Tattoo fruit." Says the Lion in a really proud tone.
"..." Don just stares at him like he's some stupid dog and asks his again.
"How the hack is this a rare fruit?! Tattoo fruit, what the heck does it even do?" Asks Don totally confused and disappointed.
"Calm down you brat, I said its rare but I never said its powerful. Just eat it and you will see what it can do." Says the Lion while giving the fruit back to Don.
At this moment Don was really reluctant to eat this fruit, I mean what other purpose does it have other then making him more cool and have Tattoos, how is it going to help him in battle, is it going to intimidate the enemy? I doubt its going to work on the admirals or the other yonko.
But If the lion says that I guess that it has a purpose other that giving him cool Tattoos. And so with that said Don takes the Fruit from the Lion and takes a bite out of the fruit, its taste was horrible and sour I nearly threw up, if Gordon ate this he would throw tons of lamb sauce on it then throw it in the bin. After tasting that he was glad he didn't die.
Don stood there expecting a change to happened, but nothing occurred, no Tattoos, no nothing.
"What the... what is this fruit used for, im so confused, wasnt i supposed to get Tattoos or something?" Asked Don clearly confused, He expected something but nothing changed.
"Brat, touch your sword and you will find out." States the Lion, but they got even more confused even Pan the panda was confused and asked expecting an answer.
"What are you talking about crazy Lion, what will touching to sword do?" asked the panda.
"JUST DO IT YOU BRAT, TOUCH THE SWORD!" Shouts the Lion.
"Hey calm down Lion i will do it alright." says Don.
After they spoke Don slowly moved his hand to the katana on his waist and touches the handle, however what happened next startled him. The sword just disappeared out of his sight instantly and is nowhere to be seen, Don looks around clearly shocked at what happened and tries to locate the sword, but it is nowhere to be seen. That is when he notices something on his arm and takes a look at it only to find a Katana identical to his own tattooed on his arm, he goes to touch the tattoo and when he does the sword suddenly appears in his hand. Both Pan and Don have their eyes bulging out wide and jaws to the ground.
"What kind of devil fruit is this... it Tattoos whatever I touch on my arm!" Don starts looking at the Lion for an answer.
"Brat... this fruit is what you think it is, The main purpose of this fruit is storage by touching it and it will appear on your body. You can even change the size of the tattoo to add more..."
"How is this going to help me in battle its only a storage fruit... EXPLAIN LION!"
"Oi... You brat if you would let me explain i would have said what its used for already... anyways, you are also able to store untouchables like fire or lightning but that requires mastery, and if you go beyond mastery you can tattoo things on other surfaces other than your skin." Explains the lion.
Don has a thinking expression whilst looking at the lion and asks a question.
"So if I store untouchables what happens when I release them."
"You can throw it back at the opponent brat, if you master it, it can be used in combat."
Don at this point was really exited, his heart started racing and a smile started forming on his face.' If I can use this in battle then its perfect'.
After fantasising about his devil fruit power he suddenly turns to a random servant/slave and orders in a voice full of authority.
"Hey you... bring me as many objects as you can here, hurry up."
The servant salutes and sprints around the makeshift home while grabbing whatever object he could see, after setting them next to Don he quickly makes a run for it out of the makeshift home and heads to do some other chores.
As soon as he got the objects he starts making them tattoos and covering his hole body, his goal was to gain control over the size of the Tattoos and the design. Due to the nature of the fruit he wasnt going to Rely on it for the actual combat but it might come in handy for surprise attacks and catch them off guard, he was going to rely on his martial arts and haki plus his swordsmanship for battles.
"Hahaha... Now this is getting exiting... Oi pan get the crew ready we are getting ready for a voyage in East blue, I want to test this new fruit."
"Hahaha... alright captain I'm gonna go get the crew ready."
Pan then leaves to get the crew ready which mainly consists of the servants and captains of those servants.
"Good in this voyage I want my name to be know through the whole of East blue and also learns martial arts along the way... hahah this is really getting exiting."
"Oi lion... you coming as well? I mean you don't have anything to do anyway."
"Hmm... I guess you are right, I don't have anything to do anyways, I might as well go on this voyage of yours." The lion only smirks and goes to his room to get ready.
