The Balance-Balance fruit would enable its user to ultimately attain anything as long as item(s) of equal value was traded.
[You only have two tokens left, Damien,] Sibyl cautioned him.
"Rahaha! Those tokens are like money, worthless if they aren't used. It's better to make up my mind and go for it rather than to rethink every single choice."
Damien pondered about the strict nature of the token and added, "Plus, both the Deprive fruit and Balance fruit are fitting auxiliary abilities."
Damien's lax expression soon sharpened as he thought over something.
"On top of that, the Balance fruit can also be a contingency…"
[What for?]
"..."
Before he could think any further, a booming voice echoed through the surrounding area.
"Damien!"
Loud footsteps went off as a towering samurai walked toward the pirate with a wide grin and wild nature.
"Oden, you here for another beating?"
The man replied with a thundering laugh, not considering any of it.
He had arrived with both his retainers, Denjiro and Kin'emon.
The former was quite skinny donning a yellow kimono, sunglasses and a blue ponytail while the latter had spiky blond hair and a blue and yellow kimono.

"Wahahaha! A samurai who fails to get up after a loss is nothing but a disgrace to Wano!"
Damien rolled his eyes and saw an annoying future.
"Stop reaching for your swords, I can read you like a book."
Oden paused, he looked down at his hand that was moments away from moving to unsheath his blades.
"You… Can you see the future?"
Damien smirked, "Not only can I see you charging at me, but I can also see you being shot back all the way to the Flower Capital with a punch of mine."
The Samurai laughed in the face of the threat, "Wahaha! Good, I want to see the look on Lord Shogun's face when I crash into his mansion!"
Though his mind switched interests disturbingly fast. "Say, I heard you come from outside Wano, is it true!?"
The man's face was bright in smiles, waiting in expectation and excitement.
Damien started walking to the Daimyo Building once more, with Oden trailing him.
"That's right."
The words filled the exiled man with fire as he declared with anticipation, "Good! Take me with you when you leave!"
"Oden-sama!" the two retainers gawked with fear; leaving Wano was a capital offense!
Damien turned his eyes to the grinning fool and scoffed, "I refuse."

[Later that Night]
Damien and Toki had been given a grand room for their stay.
The girl was busy in the history of the region, leaving Damien alone. He sat on a cushion, playing around with a brown fruit.
"There's no time to hesitate; let's do it."
Damien then brought out a golden token, holding it in his left hand while the fruit was in the other.
*Crack*
He crushed the golden coin-like item as it burst out in a golden spectacle. The shiny mist swirled around Damien's hand as he then grabbed the fruit.
The energy surrounded the Devil Fruit as it was slowly drying up.
It took but a moment till the item was sucked up, leaving behind an ordinary fruit, devoid of any design or swirls.
The golden energy soon returned to Damien, flooding its way to his heart.
Damien deeply sighed while a ding went off in his mind.
[One {Fruit Ability Transfer Token} has been used. The token has materialized into the following ability: ]
[{Equal Exchange} – Grants the auxiliary ability to exchange for anything as long as item(s) of equal value are given in its place.]
Damien absorbed the details of the power, it was fairly simple.
He then willed some thoughts together that, with the help of Sibyl, created an interface of sorts in his mind.
