Marvel : Strongest Siblings

"I can only increase size and speed by 100 times," Wald said as he followed Max. They were moving through the Frozen Hell, with everything in sight covered in white snow.

"That's not actually your limit," Max replied.

"No, I tried to increase size, speed, and power, but only size and speed ever worked," Wald shook his head.

"It's because only two aspects can be increased at a time. Try increasing weight and speed this time," Max suggested, handing him a fragment of ice. Wald nodded, activating his Devil Fruit powers. His eyes widened as it worked. "How?"

"It's because your fruit can only increase two attributes at a time," Max explained. "Experiment to find the best combinations."

Wald nodded in understanding. Max continued forward, moving to the next level, known as Eternal Hell, where powerful pirates long forgotten were imprisoned.

Meanwhile, in the Frozen Hell, Magellan arrived and looked around, puzzled. "Hm, I could've sworn someone was here," he muttered, scanning his surroundings. The wolves and Wald's frozen statue were nothing but illusions left by Max.

As Max and Wald entered Eternal Hell, they found the area engulfed in darkness, visibility near zero. Using his Observation Haki, Max saw rows of prisoners chained at the wrists, legs, and even necks, fastened to the walls around them.

"Hehehe, lots of lambs to be slaughtered," Max thought as he scanned his surroundings.

He freed the first prisoner, recognizing him as Avalo Pizarro with the Isle-Isle Fruit. Max killed him swiftly, claiming the Devil Fruit for himself.

"Hmm? Who's there?" A voice echoed through the darkness, but Max ignored it and continued moving from one cell to another.

Next, he found Catarina Devon. Without hesitation, he killed the ugly woman and plundered her Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. "Transformation and Wisdom abilities… A pity she only used the transformation powers," Max muttered as he stored the Mythical Zoan.

His gaze then fell upon Douglas Bullet, restrained in thick chains that suppressed his strength, but his formidable presence remained palpable even in captivity.

"Who are you, brat?" Douglas Bullet glared at Max, challenging him. Not wanting to waste time on formalities, Max looked at him and said, "Join my crew, and I won't kill you." His tone was calm, almost bored.

Douglas tilted his head, his Conqueror's Haki flaring, testing Max's strength. But Max remained unimpressed. "You have ten seconds, or I'll end you," he said with a yawn.

"I'll join—after you defeat me," Douglas replied, his gaze sharp and unwavering.

"Fine." Max shrugged as he signaled Wald to stand down. Stepping forward, Max unleashed a powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki, layered with a fierce dragon-like aura, enhancing the intensity even further.

The ground trembled as both men locked eyes, their Haki clashing, sending a shockwave throughout the prison. Prisoners who sensed their power fell silent, watching in awe.

"Why hasn't he caved yet?" Wald wondered aloud, amazed at Bullet's resilience as both Max and Douglas showed their unyielding strength.

Soon, Douglas's Haki waned as he lost his footing, finally conceding. "I'll acknowledge you as captain… for now," he said, his tone begrudging but respectful. Max nodded, choosing not to turn him into a Night Apostle. Douglas had strength, but without exceptional skills like Shiki's swordsmanship or Wald's powerful Devil Fruit, Max felt it wasn't necessary.

"Good," Max replied simply. "Follow my orders, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself." He moved on, leaving Douglas to join the ranks of his crew. The group continued through the prison, as max killed two more of future Blackbeard pirates Vasco Shot and Sanjuan Wolf, and getting two more devil fruits of huge huge and liquor liquor fruit, that make anything into an Liquor.

Lastly, Max obtained a Devil Fruit that hadn't been shown in the anime—the Superhuman-type Lightning Fruit. "Hmm, since it's a Superhuman type, it has potential for multiple advanced directions," Max mumbled, knowing that the power of Superhuman-type fruits often depends on the user's imagination and creativity.

Alongside it, he acquired another powerful Superhuman-type fruit known as the Black Hole Fruit. The previous user, who had dubbed it the "Attraction-Attract Fruit," had only used it to create basic attraction forces. Max chuckled, stowing it away. "What a waste of potential for such a powerful fruit," he muttered, thinking of the limitless possibilities the Black Hole Fruit could offer in skilled hands.

"Hello," Max greeted the last prisoner, watching him closely. "Don't waste your breath. I'm not here for small talk."

"Even if I could give you immortality?" Max asked, his voice low and confident.

The man, Patrick Red, slowly raised his head and looked at Max with a spark of interest. "If you can, then I'll agree," Patrick replied, his curiosity piqued.

Max nodded and tossed him a vial filled with a deep red liquid. "Drink this, and you'll have it," Max said. Patrick studied the vial for a moment, then uncorked it and drank without hesitation.

"You're bold," Max remarked, a small smile forming as he watched Patrick down the liquid.

"I assume you'd kill me anyway if I refused, right?" Patrick tilted his head, a hint of amusement in his gaze.

Max simply smirked, leaving the question unanswered as he turned to walk away, his silence more telling than words.

As Patrick finished drinking, his skin paled, and a faint red glimmer appeared in his eyes. He blinked, adjusting to the strange new sensation.

"What... is this?" he asked, his voice carrying an edge of curiosity and surprise.

"Congratulations. You're now a vampire," Max replied, a faint smirk on his face as he observed Patrick's transformation. "It's the power of someone with a unique Devil Fruit—she can grant others immortality. The only price is that you'll now crave blood."

Patrick considered this, nodding slowly. "A small price for immortality," he said, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

Max chuckled, pleased with Patrick's reaction. "Then let's get out of here. We've got work to do."

While on the way, max thought , 'Should I get the venom venom fruit too?' he wondered as he smiled and then he decided to take it as he got an combination for it .
