The next day, all the crew gathered in the dining room for breakfast.
After they finished their breakfast, Lepus said that they shouldn't go yet because they would have a discussion.
Then Lepus took out the devil fruit he got yesterday.
The crew was surprised that Lepus suddenly took out a devil fruit.
Lepus then looked at Kuina and spoke.
"Kuina, this fruit is for you."
Kuina was quite surprised and a little confused as to why Lepus offered the devil fruit to her.
"Me?"
Kuina asked hesitantly while pointing at herself.
And Lepus nodded and explained.
"Yes. This time don't refuse it. This fruit is Goro Goro no Mi, Lightning Logia."
Kuina was slightly surprised and wide-eyed at Lepus' statement. The rest of the crew was also surprised.
"What!?"
Amber was very surprised.
"Logia!?
Boris was also surprised that the devil fruit was a Logia.
"Lightning, huh...."
Max seemed to be holding his chin and wondering.
"That's terrifying!"
Ryzer was also quite dumbfounded.
The other members also gave different reactions.
Seeing their reactions, Lepus just smiled a little and then spoke again.
"Kuina, lightning suits you very well. And your sword technique will be even more terrifying combined with the power of lightning. So, accept it."
Kuina was still a little hesitant. But, finally she nodded and decided to accept the Goro Goro no Mi.
"Okay. I'll take it."
Lepus then handed the fruit to Kuina.
Kuina then nervously and tensely took a small bite of the devil fruit. And then.... Kuina visibly frowned and covered her mouth with her hand as if she was going to throw up!
"Ugh! It tastes disgusting...."
Hearing Kuina's statement, those who had already eaten a devil fruit laughed wryly.
Not long after, Kuina's body seemed to appear electric sparks.

Seeing this, the crew gave their impression.
"Heh~.... So this is Lightning Logia."
Nojiko looked quite impressed.
"Better be careful. Don't get electrocuted."
Gillian warned the others to be careful.
"Hmm.... Lightning, huh.... It must be troublesome for the enemy to fight against it."
Sera was quite amazed and thought about what would happen if Kuina fought.
The other crew members also gave their respective impressions.

After a while, Lepus spoke again.
"Alright, let's continue the discussion."
The crew turned their attention back to Lepus.
"I got the Goro Goro fruit because the power of Lightning will be very useful for our Grand Plan. And besides that we have to make preparations for the Great Mission later."
""""Grand Plan? Great Mission""""
The crew wondered.
"Yeah. This Great Mission has 2 main objectives. The first is to get familiars for Nojiko."
"Me?"
Nojiko pointed at herself as quite surprised and confused as to what the Great Mission had to do with getting familiars for her.
Lepus also explained.
"Yes. At the Mission's target area, there are many unique and powerful monsters. We will catch some to become your familiars."
"Oh, okay. I understand."
Nojiko finally understood and she nodded in acceptance.
Lepus then continue.
"The second is for fame and prestige."
Hearing this second goal, the crew was quite surprised and confused.
"Hah?"
"Fame?"
"Prestige?"
"What do you mean?"
Lepus also explained.
"We will use the Mission to show the world that we are strong!"
"What for?"
"It doesn't matter, right?"
"Yeah. We don't really need it, do we?"
The crew was still confused.
Lepus then with a sharp look answered.
".... I want us to be Sichibukai."
Now, the crew is very surprised to hear Lepus' statement.
"What!?"
"Sichibukai!?"
"Husband, are you serious?"
"Lepus, are you kidding?"
"I'm serious. But Sichibukai are only the first stage in our Grand Plan. Our final stage is to become Yonkou (Emperor)!"
"Wh...!?"
"A...!?"
"Na...!?"
"Yon..."
"That's...."
The crew was getting more and more dumbfounded to the point of being speechless now.
Lepus sighed slightly after seeing their reactions.
".... Why are you so dumbfounded like that? Do you want to be a mediocre pirates like many others?"
"Of course not, but..."
"That's...."
"This is Yonkou, you know...."
"Yonkou are not the same as the others...."
"You think it like it was easy to become a Yonkou...."
Lepus then laughed and responded casually to them.
"Hehahahaha! Well, even if it's not Yonkou it can also be called Gotei or Rotei."
Seeing Lepus who was acting relaxed as if this wasn't anything serious, Kuina frowned slightly.
"Lepus-san, that's not funny...."
Lepus kept smiling and responded to Kuina.
"Relax, Kuina my dear.... I know what I'm doing.
Kuina kept frowning, then she asked.
"Then what do you mean about the Great Mission and what will do actually?"
Lepus then answered Kuina's question sharply and coldly.
".... Taking down Kinjishi no Shiki."
