"Vanessa, before you get too excited, I need to remind you of something," Rosh began. "If you're buying this fruit just because you want to wear beautiful new clothes every day, I should warn you—"
"I'm sure Wade has told you that when you first eat a Devil Fruit, you only gain a basic ability. That initial ability won't be enough to create finely detailed outfits."
"You'll only be able to make very rough garments at first," he explained.
"So... if your goal is to wear new clothes every day, it might take some time and training to get there."
At the peak of Vanessa's excitement, Rosh poured a bucket of cold water on her enthusiasm. While this might dampen her eagerness to buy the fruit, Rosh believed that as a responsible shopkeeper, it was essential to be transparent. It wasn't just about highlighting the good aspects; customers also needed to know the limitations.
"Boss, how long will the training take?" Vanessa asked, her eyes fixed on Rosh.
"It's hard to say—maybe a month or two, maybe a year or two. Everyone's situation is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer," Rosh replied honestly. Even he couldn't give a definitive timeline.
"A year or two... I think I can wait!" Vanessa's enthusiasm wasn't dampened much. Compared to the allure of wearing new clothes every day, a year or two of training seemed like a small price to pay.
"It's fine as long as you're happy, dear," Deadpool said nonchalantly. He didn't care how they looked as long as the clothes were bulletproof.
"Wade, should we go with the Suit-Suit Fruit?" Vanessa asked, clearly smitten with the idea.
"Don't rush, Vanessa. Let me finish explaining before you decide. After all, you're the only customers here, so no one's going to snatch it from you," Rosh said with a smile before continuing his explanation of the Suit-Suit Fruit.
"The Suit-Suit Fruit does have its limitations. The clothes it creates can only be worn by the fruit's user. Once removed, the clothes quickly deteriorate and vanish."
"Additionally, the suits created by the fruit are highly flexible and strong, easily resisting bullets and blades. But the softness of the suits means they lack the rigidity needed for offensive skills."
Rosh explained all the limitations of the Suit-Suit Fruit to Deadpool and Vanessa.
But to the couple, these weren't drawbacks at all. The fact that the suits couldn't be worn by others didn't matter—they had no intention of selling specialized bulletproof suits. And as for the lack of offensive capabilities, that was even less of an issue. Deadpool's primary goal was to enhance Vanessa's defense, not turn her into a hand-to-hand combat expert.
"Boss, this is more than enough for Vanessa!" Deadpool said. "Honestly, I can't wait to have Vanessa do a costume show for me every night. What do you think, dear?" He said, kissing Vanessa's cheek as if they were at home.
"Wade, the Shopkeeper, is right here," Vanessa said, a bit embarrassed, pushing Deadpool away.
"It's okay. I'm sure the Shopkeeper doesn't mind, right?" Deadpool grinned innocently at Rosh.
"Wade, there's the door—please exit to your left," Rosh responded dryly.
"OK, OK, let's get back to the Devil Fruits. Boss, tell us about the Cotton-Candy Fruit," Deadpool quickly surrendered and changed the subject.
"The Cotton-Candy Fruit, as the name suggests, allows the user to create cotton candy. The user can envelop themselves in a massive ball of cotton candy for defense," Rosh explained.
By now, it was clear that Vanessa and Deadpool were more interested in the Suit-Suit Fruit and had practically decided to purchase it. However, they were still intrigued by the idea of using cotton candy for defense. After all, cotton candy is universally known as soft and fluffy—hardly something you'd associate with defense.
"Boss, how can cotton candy be used for defense? Can it stop bullets, too?" Vanessa asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Of course," Rosh replied confidently. "In the world of Devil Fruits, you need to let go of your preconceived notions. Everything you think you know can be redefined here."
"Take the Biscuit Fruit, for example. How hard do you think biscuits are? What if I told you that someone could create biscuits so strong that even missiles couldn't break them?"
Rosh was, of course, referring to Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders. Cracker's biscuit soldiers were incredibly durable, so much so that Luffy had to use Gear Fourth to break them. It was absurdly powerful.
"Wow!" Both Vanessa and Deadpool gasped in unison.
Missile-proof biscuits? That was insane!
"The cotton candy created by the Cotton-Candy Fruit isn't ordinary cotton candy. Its toughness rivals that of the suits made by the Suit-Suit Fruit."
"And considering the structure of cotton candy, its defensive capabilities are actually superior to those of the Suit-SuitFruit."
"Moreover, the Cotton-Candy Fruit can be used not just for self-defense, but also to trap enemies, and it can even create cotton candy clouds for aerial transport."
"In short, it's a very versatile fruit."
Vanessa and Deadpool were amazed by the many uses of something as simple as cotton candy. It could be used for self-defense, immobilizing enemies, or even for strategic retreats!
From a functional standpoint, the Cotton-Candy Fruit was indeed superior to the Suit-Suit Fruit. But for Vanessa, the choice was clear.
As an ordinary woman, not a warrior, she didn't need all those flashy abilities. Beauty was her top priority.
"A very impressive fruit, but shopkeeper, I'll stick with the Suit-Suit Fruit! Wade, let's buy the Suit-Suit Fruit," Vanessa said decisively, without any hesitation.
