Caldean never came to see Is again.
Is, on the other hand, focused all his energy on cultivation.
Although there was no improvement in physical skills, there was some progress in Devil Fruit abilities, Observation Haki, or Armament Haki.
Of course, Madara Uchiha and Tatsumaki deserve most of the credit for this.
On this day, Is was training in the back garden as usual, while Madara Uchiha went out. Tatsumaki was probably infected by the maid and was currently in the kitchen learning to cook with Rose Minnian.
Suddenly, during training, Is heard a system notification tone.
"Ding, the paper fruit's compatibility has reached the level required for advanced quality."
Upon hearing this, Easton was taken aback, stopped training, and quickly opened his virtual panel.
Host: Bernard Is
Excavation level: 1 (40/200)
Number of digging attempts: 0 (5/7). The number of digging opportunities increases as the digging level increases.
Characters: Uchiha Madara (25%), Tatsumaki (20%)
能力：纸片果实（1000/1000）霸王色（ /1000）武装色（520/1000）见闻色（660/1000）
Excavation location: [Insufficient excavation attempts, unable to locate]
Warehouse: None available
As the system predicted, the Paper Fruit's compatibility has now reached 1000.
Without much hesitation, Is replied immediately.
"Begin the next stage."
"Ding, advancing in progress."
"Ding! Resilience increased by 50%"
"Ding! Gained 80% immunity to Seastone-type items."
"Ding! You have acquired the Burning attribute!"
"Ding, number of times you can eat a Devil Fruit has increased by 1."
Is was already quite satisfied with the list of pop-up notifications, but he became visibly excited when he saw the last one.
Yes, he can eat a Devil Fruit again.
Normally, because Devil Fruits are the embodiment of demons, a person can only eat one at most and gain one power. If someone eats more than one fruit out of greed for power, their body will explode because they cannot withstand the curse.
Of course, there are exceptions to every case. For example, Blackbeard in the original work possesses the abilities of two Devil Fruits, but strictly speaking, that doesn't count as using two Devil Fruits.
It can only be said that he used some method to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power from Whitebeard's remains.

"Next, we'll test the Paper Fruit's abilities after it's been upgraded."
Is muttered something to himself, and soon he began to try it out.
Fragments of paper flew out from his body, but unlike before, golden flames now burned inside the originally white paper.
Is waved his hand, and several pieces of paper flew out like arrows, heading towards a tree the size of a thigh.
"brush!"
The paper flew by, splitting the tree trunk into several sections, with thick smoke billowing from the cuts.
Clearly, this is the burning attribute that comes with advancing to the next level.
Is was quite satisfied with the result.
Just as Is was preparing for the next test.
Madara Uchiha's voice came from the gate leading to the back garden.
“Is, the newspaper has arrived. I think you have some stories that might interest you.”
Is was taken aback, then casually replied, "What report?"
"About Lox!"
"Lox's?"
Is hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately gave up the idea of continuing the test and returned to the castle.
"Give!"
Madara Uchiha handed the newspaper to Is.
After taking it, Is glanced at it.
"The Navy launched a manhunt for Rocks on XXX Island, successfully weakening part of the Rocks Pirates' fighting force."
As Is continued reading, he saw that the Navy's lineup was quite impressive, including Admiral Kong, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Sengoku, and several other vice admirals.
However, there was one thing that Isa couldn't understand: given the Rocks Pirates' lineup, the Navy shouldn't have gained any advantage, but they miraculously did.

Chapter 23
"Could it be???"
At this point, a thought flashed through Is's mind.
Yes, that's the World Government paying newspapers to write in a way that benefits the Navy.
Besides this, Is really not able to think of anything else. After all, with the Rocks Pirates' lineup, it would be quite difficult for the Navy to gain an advantage over them.
However, the truth doesn't matter; it has no direct relevance to Is.
He smiled, shook his head slightly, and then placed the newspaper on the table.
"what happened?"
Seeing Is's smile, Madara Uchiha asked a question.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that what’s in the newspapers isn’t necessarily the truth,” Is explained.
Madara Uchiha was silent for a few seconds, then seemed to suddenly realize something: "You mean... the news is fake? The Navy didn't weaken the Rocks Pirates' fighting strength?"
Is shrugged and said with a smile, "Who knows? It could be true, but we can't rule out the possibility that the World Government is faking it. This world is full of truths and lies. The only thing we can be sure of is that such an event did happen, but who benefited from it is really hard to say."
Madara Uchiha looked at the newspaper on the table, smiled slightly, and was just about to say something when...
At that moment, Tornado, Rhodes Minian, and their group pushed a food cart into the hall.
"Is, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come back early. Ban also came back from outside. Perfect timing, you've both returned at just the right time. Let me give you some of the desserts I made myself."
With a smug look on her face, Tornado quickly pushed the food cart next to Is and Uchiha Madara.
Then, she picked up a plate, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.
Then, what came into view of Is and Madara Uchiha were four or five objects, roughly the size of a fist, and somewhat dark in color.
"This is?"
"Guess what kind of pastry it is?" Tornado asked Is with anticipation, as she had put a lot of effort into making it.
"chocolate?"
Looking at the dark shape, Is guessed.
“No!” Tornado shook her head.
Is was slightly taken aback, then sniffed it. Good heavens, he had been too hasty; he thought it was chocolate, but it turned out to be just slightly burnt.
"Mine is soft, sweet, and delicious, with a pure egg flavor... Don't you think so, Minian!" Tornado boasted as she looked at Rhodes Minian.
Before Rhodes Minian could speak, a voice came from the side.
The sound of "trash, trash, trash..."
Madara Uchiha held one half of the meat in his hand, chewing the other half with a crisp sound: "Tornado, you call this soft, sweet, and delicious???"
"I didn't taste any pure egg flavor, but I did taste a burnt flavor."
Rose Minnian covered her mouth to stifle a laugh; Madara Uchiha had already given the best evaluation, so she didn't need to comment.
"spot"
Tornado angrily picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Sure enough, just as Madara Uchiha had said, it was very crispy and had a burnt smell.
Just as Is was about to reach out and take a piece to try, Tornado laughed at him.
But just as he reached out to take it, Tornado simply removed the item from the table, placed it on the food cart, and pushed the cart away—a series of actions performed with remarkable fluidity.
"Is, wait a minute, I'll make it for you again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tornado disappeared from the hall.
"It's a good thing you didn't eat it, because it left a slightly bitter taste afterwards."
Madara Uchiha wiped his mouth and said calmly.
“Mianian, you’re not a good mentor!” Is said with a wry smile.
"Lady Tornado was too impatient. I gave her some pointers, and then she wouldn't let me get involved."
"Minian, come quick!"
The sound of a tornado echoed through the corridor.
"You've arrived, Lady Tornado!"
After responding, Rhodes Minian said to Is, "Master, I'll go now."
"Go ahead, don't let her make any more culinary disasters."
"OK!!"
