Emiya wasn't surprised by Nami's choice.
If he were in her position, he would have chosen the same.
People always want better things.
If all she had to do was wait a little longer to get a Devil Fruit without weaknesses, there was no reason to eat one that still had flaws.
But Shizuka frowned.
"I don't get it. Why not just give her the Suna Suna no Mi now? When you manage to create a flawless Devil Fruit, just extract the old one and replace it. Wouldn't that be a win-win? Why wait?"
Nami: ...
Emiya: ...
Right.
That option existed.
He must have completely blanked earlier.
Emiya returned home with a wry smile, brought out the Suna Suna no Mi, the Doa Doa no Mi, and the Bomu Bomu no Mi, and let Nami choose again.
In the end, Nami still chose the Suna Suna no Mi.
A Logia-type Devil Fruit's immunity to physical attacks was simply too big an advantage.
Especially in the East Blue.
There were almost no Marines there who could use Haki.
Smoker included.
Though Smoker would eventually learn Haki, likely during the two years after the Summit War.
By then, he would already be a vice admiral.
And a Marine vice admiral who couldn't use Haki didn't exist.
So in theory, after eating the Suna Suna no Mi, Nami would have no natural enemies in the East Blue.
As for Nojiko, even though she wasn't wanted, Emiya still let her choose a Devil Fruit.
Strength was never a bad thing.
After some discussion, and following Nami's advice, Nojiko chose the Bomu Bomu no Mi.
The Doa Doa no Mi was more convenient, but it had come from CP9.
If Nojiko ate it, she would easily attract the attention of the Marines and the World Government.
So the Bomu Bomu no Mi was the safest option.
Shizuka still didn't choose anything.
Her target was the Sube Sube no Mi.
She wasn't interested in any others.
Since Devil Fruit abilities required strong physical foundations, Issho decided to train the women.
He had nothing else to do anyway.
But at that moment, Emiya suddenly remembered something.
The agreed time with Dr. Kureha had arrived.
So he immediately opened a Space Gate and headed to her castle.
"Dr. Kureha, I'm here as promised."
His voice echoed through the castle as he stepped inside.
Not long after, Chopper came down from upstairs.
"You're finally here, Mr. Emiya. Follow me. Dr. Kureha is waiting in her room."
Emiya nodded and followed him.
"Doctorine, I brought Mr. Emiya," Chopper said as he pushed the door open.
Kureha was sitting on the sofa near the fireplace, warming herself, a bottle of plum wine in her hand.
She yawned and glanced at Emiya lazily.
"Oh. You're here. What you want is over there."
She pointed.
On a table covered in beakers and test tubes sat a bottle of blue liquid and a piece of paper.
Emiya walked over and picked up the paper.
It contained a revised Gosui formula, along with detailed instructions.
Suddenly, a loud burp sounded next to his ear.
Emiya turned his head.
At some point, Kureha had already moved beside him.
He hadn't even noticed.
This old woman really wasn't simple.
"I modified the recipe you gave me," Kureha said. "The new Gosui increases physical ability by about three times."
"The duration's been extended too. From a few minutes to over ten."
"The side effects are reduced. You won't die anymore. You'll just be exhausted. Full recovery takes about a day."
She looked at him.
"Well? Satisfied?"
"Satisfied," Emiya replied immediately. "Very satisfied. You're incredible."
"Of course I am," Kureha laughed, taking another swig of plum wine. "Who do you think I am?"
She pointed at the blue liquid.
"That's the new Gosui. Freshly made. Take it back and test it yourself."
"That won't be necessary."
Before anyone could stop him, Emiya picked up the bottle and drank it.
The moment the Gosui entered his body, its effect spread rapidly.
Within seconds, his bones and muscles strengthened.
Hardened.
Power surged through his entire body.
It wasn't comparable to his telekinesis.
But the raw physical strength was intoxicating.
Emiya threw a punch.
Bang.
The air shattered.
A compressed shockwave burst forward, blowing the books on the shelf ahead of him into chaos.
"Reckless," Kureha said, drinking again. "But how does it feel?"
"Powerful," Emiya answered honestly.
He wasn't sure exactly what level he'd reached.
But learning the Marines' Six Powers should be possible now.
Probably.
"This is my improved medicine," Kureha said. "Of course it works."
"But since you're so reckless, you'll suffer soon."
She wasn't wrong.
The effect was temporary.
As time passed, the strength drained away.
Ten minutes later, Emiya was back to normal.
Then came the emptiness.
As if every ounce of strength had been sucked out.
Muscles.
Bones.
Cells.
Everything protested.
"How does it feel now?" Kureha asked with a crooked smile.
"I'm fine," Emiya said.
He swayed.
Almost fell.
He quickly cast several healing spells on himself.
The soreness vanished.
The emptiness remained, but it was manageable.
Kureha watched white light flash across his body.
Her expression changed.
She grabbed his arm, eyes sharp.
"What did you do?"
She could tell.
The side effects had been reduced further.
"It's just a small ability," Emiya said with a grin.
Seeing that he didn't intend to explain, Kureha snorted.
"Fine. The deal's done. Take your things and get out."
She returned to her chair by the fire.
Emiya nodded.
He opened a Space Gate.
Pushed the door open.
And returned to Cocoyasi Village.
