In the original work, in addition to eating Devil Fruit directly, there are other ways to obtain Devil Fruit abilities.
There was a scene in "Ice and Fire Island" where after eating the poisonous gas of the [Salamander Fruit] and dying, a devil fruit cloud pattern appeared inexplicably on a nearby apple.
Of course, players in previous lives have done experiments, and it turns out that this method simply doesn't work.
It is true that the Devil Fruit will randomly possess a certain fruit after the person with the ability dies, but the range of this randomness is too large. It can only be said that the [Salamander Fruit] in the original work is a special case.
If you think about it, you can understand that if it was so easy to seize other people's Devil Fruits, "Hundred Beasts Kaido" would have done it himself. Why would he go to such trouble to create an artificial Devil Fruit?
The other way is the way "Blackbeard Teach" steals other people's fruit abilities.
Hmm... This method is still an unsolved mystery. The most speculated thing is that it is related to his [Darkness Fruit] ability. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why "Blackbeard Teach" must be obsessed with getting the [Darkness Fruit] first.
.
In addition to the above two methods, there is actually a simpler and cruder method, but not everyone can do it.
——Those who have swallowed Devil Fruit abilities.
Note, it's swallowing, not eating.
The reason is very simple. The Devil Fruit will escape within a certain period of time after the person with the ability dies. Only by swallowing it completely can the escaped Devil Fruit be trapped in one's own body, thus taking away the opponent's abilities.
In the original work, one of the Four Emperors, "Aunt Charlotte Lingling", suffered from schizophrenia and swallowed "Sister Carmel", thus obtaining the other party's "Soul Fruit".
But "Aunt" is gifted after all. Although she is a human being, she has a height of 880cm, almost a giant. There is no big problem in directly swallowing a living person of normal size, but it is basically impossible for ordinary people to do this.
So think about it in reverse, what if it’s not that the eater has a huge body, but the person being eaten is smaller?
Indeed, it cannot be such a coincidence under normal circumstances, but what if it is an abnormal situation that can be artificially created?
"Xiao Ke, it's up to you."
Luo Jie sketched on the ground, and Gouzi nodded with firm eyes, suddenly opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth, and swallowed "Bruno" on the ground in one gulp.
Yes, his plan is to use the [Tenton Fruit] to turn the opponent into a "living devil fruit" that can be eaten by ordinary people.
Don't think it's impossible. As long as the superhuman fruit is within the concept of ability, it has always been "how bold a person is and how productive he is."
The concept of [Tuntun Fruit] is "factory", and food is also a category of industrial production.
As for the conservation of mass, it does not exist under the power of Devil Fruit. The [Childlike Fruit] can turn a person into a toy just by touching it, and can also erase the entire world's memory of that person. In comparison,
Luo Jie's idea is already quite conservative.
As the sound of steam and gears stopped, Gouzi opened his mouth and spit out a black pill with a human face on it.
The size is a little big, but still within the range that can be swallowed whole.
【Living Pill·Menmen Fruit】
Type: Human
Quality: EX
Introduction: A pill made with the devil fruit ability user "Bruno". If swallowed, you can gain the ability of [Door Fruit].
It actually worked!
Luo Jie suddenly realized that he could have let the dog eat "Valpo" directly on "Drum Island" before, thus wasting an opportunity to extract the devil fruit.
It’s so heartbreaking...
Although he accidentally discovered an alternative method to obtain the power of Devil Fruit, Luo Jie could not be happy because this [living drug] is essentially another living form of "Bruno" and cannot resemble the real Devil Fruit.
Storing it into the storage space means that it cannot be taken out for trading and can only be used directly in the current world.
Forget it, this is a lot, what else do you need a watch for...
Luo Jie shook his head regretfully, put the [Living Medicine] into his pocket, set off a huge wave in the underground waterway and washed away all traces of the battle, and returned to the surface through the passage he came from.
…
Another day later.
During the lunch break, in a hidden corner of Dock No. 1, two men in dirty work clothes sat on a wooden board, eating lunch boxes and chatting in low voices.
A man with weird comma-shaped eyebrows and a mustache is the leader of this CP9 water city lurking mission - [Cat Fruit·Leopard Form] ability user, "Rob Lucci".
Another round-eyed young man with a strange square nose is his subordinate, the Four Swordsman swordsman "Kaku".
"Bruno didn't contact me last night or this morning. I'm afraid something happened."
"Kaku" looked at "Lucci" who remained calm in surprise, and said: "You mean, someone discovered us and was hunting in secret? Could it be someone from Carrera Company?"
"It doesn't look like it. If "Aspagu" discovers our identity, he will only pretend not to know and secretly send people to monitor us. After all, attacking us directly is equivalent to breaking up with the world government.
It’s not that he can’t do it, but it’s not that far yet.”
"Kaku" nodded, obviously agreeing with "Lucci"'s statement.
"Do you have the life cards of "Bruno" and "Kalifa"?"
"How is it possible? How can we carry the life cards of our companions with us in a mission like ours to penetrate into the target? Will it be convenient for them to kill us all in one fell swoop?"
"That's right...then what should we do now?"
"Lucci" placed the leftover lunch box on the wooden box beside him, and the pet pigeon on his shoulder flew down and pecked at it.
"I heard from "Kalifa" before that she has reached an agreement with "Nicole Robin", the wanted criminal of the World Government. The other party is willing to follow us to "Judiciary Island" on the condition that we let the Straw Hat Pirates go. We can
Taking this opportunity to change the original plan, directly snatch the Hades design from "Aspagu", and then blame it on the Straw Hat Pirates, this will prevent the Water City from completely falling to the Dove Army."
"Then... what should [Nicole Robin] explain?"
"For the sake of justice, sometimes dark means are necessary. At least we have abided by the agreement and will not directly take the lives of the Straw Hats... As for "Nicole Robin", do you think that after arriving at "Judiciary Island", it will be over?
"The Bridge of Hesitation", is it possible for her to express her personal attitude?"
"What about "Kalifa" and "Bruno"?"
"The life card of "Kalifa" is with "Bruno", but there is a life card of "Bruno" in "Judiciary Island". When we return "Nicole Robin" and the blueprint of Hades to "Judiciary Island"
, then call "Gabra", "Nudou", and "Owl" and come back together to look for the two of them."
"Kaku" nodded again, he always believed in "Lucci"'s judgment.
"Then when do we act?"
"Lucci" pinched the beard on his chin, thought for a moment and said: "When the ship is renovated and "Empress Hancock" leaves the Water City, we will start again. Rumor has it that their captain and the straw hat boy "Luffy" have some
Friendship, if they interfere, it will cause a lot of trouble for our plan."
"good."
…
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Carrera Company" has terminated the search for "Kalifa" and has only posted a large number of missing persons notices throughout the water city as a last-ditch effort.
The CP9 side was even more unusually quiet, as if they had completely given up on the two missing members.
In order to avoid a long night and dreamy dreams, Luo Jie immediately handed over [Living Medicine·Menmen Fruit] to "Kalifa" after returning to the hotel in the underground sewer.
Of course, this does not mean that "Kalifa" is particularly suitable for the "Gate Fruit", it is just that there is no other choice.
Among the current crew members, except for "Red Silk" who cannot eat Devil Fruit, only "Little Fox Karina" and "Kalifa" are ordinary people, and the former is a sailor whose combat power is basically negligible.
Scholar, the latter naturally became the only candidate.
There were no accidents during the entire consumption process. It may be because it cannot be digested instantly like ordinary devil fruits. After waiting for a whole day, the power of the [Door Fruit] was delayed.
At the same time, Luo Jie also received a kill tip from "Bruno" and 100,000 points.
"This ability seems to be the [Door Fruit] of CP9 member "Bruno"...Strange, why do I know it so well?"
After briefly trying out her new ability, "Kalifa" had a look of confusion on her face.
"As far as I know, everyone in CP9 received [Navy Six Styles] training in a place called "Guanhao Island" when they were young, including your body. It may be that you have touched some memories of the body.
Bar?"
"Oh I got it."
Luo Jie did not expect that "Kalifa" would accept this explanation so easily, without showing any doubt at all.
Only then did he vaguely remember that this blonde lady looked like a smart and capable strong woman, but in fact she was a rare natural idiot. She even mistook the transformed "Chopper" for "Nami", even though
The two of them are even different species.
Speaking of "Guanhao Island" where CP9 practices, Luo Jie suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Kalifa, can you [return life]?"
[Return to Life] is a tentative setting made by the original author before the [Haki] system was established. Simply put, it is to freely control any organ of the body through consciousness. Later, it may be because the upper limit of this ability is too high and it is not easy.
Controlled, it will no longer be mentioned deliberately in subsequent plots, so that few people remember this magical skill.
"Kalifa" subconsciously pushed up her glasses, but her fingers came up empty.
"[Return to Life] is known as the art of immortals on "Guanhao Island". The cultivation method is engraved on an ancient pagoda, but there are very few people who have practiced it for hundreds of years. According to the saying spread on the island, only the immortals can do it.
Physical talent can be cultivated to perfection. Instructors do not force students to practice [Return of Life]. After all, no one knows what the characteristics of the so-called immortal body are. Rather than gambling on luck, it is better to devote all your energy to [Navy Six Styles]
In the process of practicing.”
"Of course, some people will try to practice secretly, but [Returning Life] is really not a skill that can be learned through diligence and hard work. "Rob Lucci", who is known as the strongest genius in the history of CP9, has only realized that [
"Return Life" has only scratched the surface of "Return Life", but "Nuzhu", who is only ranked fifth in strength in CP9, has practiced "Return Life" to the intermediate level, becoming the second person after Vice Admiral "Ghost Spider" to practice "Return Life" to the intermediate level.
] people.”
Huh?
Luo Jie suddenly heard some very familiar keywords from "Kalifa"'s narration.
The art of an immortal? The body of an immortal?
Is it possible that [Life Return] has some unknown relationship with the immortals in the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss"?
It seems that if you have a chance, you can go to "Guanhao Island" to find out what's going on.
My mother-in-law is acting like a monster again. It's too late today. I'll tell you tomorrow...
