decent chapter, i have one thing to say. trauma for a character can be a decent motivator but use it sparingly. too much trauma and it will destroy a good character or just make them an edge lord. trauma is not needed for a character development and too many authors use it as a crutch, when no trauma can work just fine. people don't need horrible experiences to become something amazing. all excessive trauma will do is give them mental issues and PTSD.
Thanks for the chapter. If you haven’t written the next chapter yet, you should take this chance to reveal him to the queen of the kingdom as the one who gave evidence of his crimes and helped destroy his gang, to make connections with a kingdom and you can sell your useless devilfruits to the queen who will surely buy it to give it to trusted guards/soldiers to protect her better. And if she reveals that he helped to remove the underworld from the kingdom to the public, he can gain more faith as a hero of the kingdom.
