Chapter 233: Powering up
Seeing the familiar place around them, the three sisters finally relax. They still didn't let go of Tesla. But they have stopped crying.
Tesla took them to the small hut he had made here. Well, it was mostly used by the sisters as if anyone from the island finds out about him then they will destroy this for sure.
Tesla took them inside and said "okay, you are safe now. No one will hurt you now."
Hancock and her sisters finally let go of him. Tesla looks at their faces and feels heartache inside. Their face has swollen from crying and it is red.
Tesla wiped the tears one by one and said "don't cry anymore. You girls go and get fresh, I will cook for you."
"Un" Hancock nodded and went inside the bathroom with her sisters.
Tesla goes to the kitchen and starts cooking. He made soup and easy to digest food. They are still in trauma. So they may not want to eat something hard.
One hour later, Tesla looks at Hancock and her sisters sleeping while hugging each other. They were exhausted from everything.
Tesla didn't return to his home. He sits on the chair and also closes his eyes. Very soon he also fell asleep.
….
Hancock was the first to wake up. She opens her eyes and looks around worriedly. Seeing the familiar place and Tesla sleeping on the chair, she calmed down.
For a sec She thought all of that was a dream. Tesla didn't come to save them.
Her sisters also wake up feeling her movement. They acted the same too. Sandersonia and Marigold hug Hancock tightly.
Tesla also woke up and saw the girls hugging each other and crying again. But he can sense relief from them. Means they have calmed down a lot.
Hancock looked at Tesla and said, "Thank you, Thank you."
Tesla stands up and walks toward them. He ruffled Sandersonia's hair and smiled and nodded at Hancock.
After another few minutes, all of them calm down. Then they start to tell how all this happened and how they were captured.
After some time Sandersonia asked confusedly "how did you know we were there and how did you appear inside the prison?"
Hancock and Marigold also look at him questioningly. They also want to know how he knows that they were captured and imprisoned there.
Tesla looks at them and smiles. He looked at Hancock and then looked at her shadow and said "come out."
As soon as he said that, three shadow soldiers came out of the three sisters' shadow and knelt in front of Tesla.
All three of them got frightened and moved back and looked at the three Shadow soldiers kneeling in front of Tesla.
They have a surprised and questioning look.
Tesla smiled and said "don't worry, they won't hurt you. They are my Soldiers. I told them to guard you and inform me if anything bad happened to you."
Hancock and the sisters look at the shadow then they look at Tesla with eyes widened. Hancock looks at Tesla as warm feelings bubble up in her heart again.
After a few more talks about it Tesla looked at the three sisters seriously and said "now that you know how cruel the world is, you should train harder to get stronger."
Hancock and others look at each other and then look at Tesla and nod their heads.
"We will train harder and become stronger," Hancock said with resolution.
Tesla smiled and nodded and then took out three devil fruits from his inventory.
One of them looks like the well-known love fruit but it is also different. The pattern and marking are different.
Tesla walked towards Hancock and gave her that fruit and said "eat it, you will gain new strength."
Hancock looked at the fruit astonishingly. She has heard of this kind of fruit from her captain. She also knows they are very mysterious and powerful.
She looks at Tesla and sees him looking at her. She didn't reject it or ask why he wanted to help her. She already knows why. He has made those intentions clear long ago.
Hancock took the fruit and held it in her hand. Tesla then walks toward Sandersonia and gives her a fruit which looks exactly like her hair colour. It is shaped like an Apple with swirling marks around it.
Sandersonia didn't even blink and take it. As if it is normal and he should give her this kind of thing.
Hancock looked at her sister weirdly.
Tesla walks toward Marigold and gives her an off white banana with the same kind of pattern as the other two. Marigold looked at Hancock who nodded her head. She then takes the fruit from Tesla's hand.
Tesla smiled and said, "go ahead and eat it." But his smile now looks like a Devil.
Sandersonia has a bad feeling for some reason. But Hancock and Marigold have faith in Tesla.
Hancock took the first bite and immediately her face turned pale and purple. Just when she was about to throw up, Tesla said "you mustn't, or else you won't get the power."
Hancock gives him a hateful look and closes her eyes as she gulps down the first bite.
Marigold also was about to throw up but hearing Tesla's warnings she also gulped down.
*Cough* They both start coughing. Sandersonia's face turns pale seeing her sister's face. She gave the fruit to Tesla and said "I don't want to eat it."
Hancock looked at her sister and said "don't. Eat it, we need to get stronger."
Marigold looks at Hancock and the. Look at Sonia with pity.
"Why are you pitying me?" Sonia asks. She grits her teeth and takes the fruit back. She gives Tesla a hateful look and takes the first bite.
Next sec she regretted listening to her sister. She looked at Hancock and saw her smirking. 'Traitor' She thought and gulped down the bite.
Hancock and Marigold feel a little good. Tesla grabs his stomach and starts laughing seeing their face. He knows how bad these fruits are. Even he regretted eating them.
All three sisters glared at him which clearly said "if he laughs one more time they will bite him to death."
Tesla stopped and sealed his mouth. Hancock and others were about to continue to eat with pale faces when Tesla said hurriedly "stop, first bite is enough to get the power."
Hancock and others stop. They look at Tesla as if he is a saint. They throw the fruit from their hand.
As soon as they throw it something peculiar starts to happen to them.
Hancock who was otherworldly beauty now looks like a goddess descending to the mortal realm.
The next second her lips turn black and her eyes more mesmerizing. Her skin glows like jade. Her hair starts to change and takes the shape of a snake. And her lower half starts to change into a snake and it's white.
Next Marigold starts to change, unlike Hancock, her whole body starts to change and soon it takes the form of a snake. It is gray. Her snakeskin reflects light.
After that is SanderSonia. She also changed into Snake like Marigold but she has a different colour, it is green and there is also green smoke around her body.
Tesla smiles seeing them. Hancock looks at her two sisters and then looks at herself.
Tesla said, "Think of returning to human form, you will turn to human form."
All three sisters did as he told and thought of turning human. Next second they turn and return to their human form.
They look the same as before except for Hancock. Her beauty is now over the roof.
Sandersonia and Marigold look at Hancock and are mesmerized by her beauty. But they quickly return to normal.
As for Tesla, he has seen many devils. And devil-like his mother whose beauty is not any less than Hancock.
Tesla then explains to them about the name of their fruit and its main power.

All of them are shocked to hear their fruit's name, power and weakness.
Tesla looked at the Hancock and said "you can use your petrification power even without turning into your Zoan form."
Hancock nodded her head. She doesn't know what Tesla meant by that. Well, it's understandable. She doesn't have much knowledge of the world anyway.
Tesla smiles and then thinks 'if WG knows one of the god class Zoan is eaten by her, then they might try to do something.'
Tesla then became serious and said "you guys rest today. We can start training tomorrow."
He has to train all three of them and make them stronger as soon as possible. Especially Hancock, her Devil fruit is too attractive to many.
All three sisters nodded and thanked Tesla again for the Fruit.
