Inside Kaya's mansion.

To thank Rowen and the others for defeating Kuro and saving everyone, Kaya warmly hosted them.

"Aren't you two overdoing it? Didn't you just eat?" Zoro asked, his eye twitching as he watched Luffy and Rowen devouring food ravenously.

Possessing only the Demonic Physique (Deep Purple), Zoro's digestive ability, while strong, couldn't compare to Rowen and Luffy, who both had Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple).

Demonic Physique (Deep Purple) leaned more towards training enhancement, while Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple) focused on digestion and absorption.

Rowen already possessed Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple), and the equipping process for Zoro's Demonic Physique (Deep Purple) was progressing smoothly, nearing completion.

Rowen eagerly anticipated seeing what heights his physique could reach once these two perfectly complementary Traits were fully integrated.

Zoro managed to eat a decent amount. Nami, however, still full from Usopp's earlier hospitality, only nibbled on some desserts and fruits, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Rowen eat with gusto.

Nami didn't even realize that a sweet smile had unconsciously bloomed on her face.

"Delicious! Food this good, of course you gotta eat a lot!" Luffy mumbled, his mouth completely full.

Kaya's family fortune was substantial enough that even Kuro coveted it, willing to infiltrate her household for three years to obtain it.

The meal provided was far more lavish than anything Rowen and the others had eaten before.

"Enhance." Rowen swallowed the food in his mouth, then commanded inwardly.

He used the Strength-type Deep Purple Upgrade Material (1) obtained from Kuro to enhance his Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple).

Rowen now had the Born of the Sea (Apex Gold) Trait, allowing his Conqueror's Haki to continuously grow stronger.

Using a mere Deep Purple material to upgrade a Gold-tier Trait would barely make a ripple anyway.

With the Grand Line approaching, what Rowen needed most right now was a stronger physique.

—[Enhancement complete.]—

A notification appeared.

Instantly, the nutrients from the food Rowen had just eaten were absorbed by his body at an astonishing rate—so fast that it wasn't enough.

Feeling his stomach suddenly empty again, Rowen began a new round of eating, much to the astonishment of everyone watching.

This was why Rowen had waited until after the large meal to enhance his Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple).

Using converted Upgrade Materials to directly enhance the Trait increased the upper limit of his physique and stamina, but the stamina 'tank' itself still needed to be refilled.

Simply put, if his Superhuman Physique (Deep Purple) was previously at 100/100 capacity, after the upgrade, it became 100/150.

He needed more food and nutrients to fill that newly created empty space in his stamina reserves.
