Luo Jie had never come into contact with any player with Devil Fruit abilities in his previous life... Well, the fact was that it was impossible for such a high-level player to look at a little shrimp like him at that time.

Therefore, there is no difference between Luo Jie and ordinary novice players on how to develop Devil Fruit abilities.

Luo Jie tried to use derivative skills to control the shadow under his feet. Although the shadow changed into various forms like a finger arm, he still could not get any prompts from the system.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly again. He knew early in the morning that he didn't have the talent to develop new skills, but he still refused to give up time and time again. As expected, people can't escape luck...

Forget it, if you don’t know how to make, why don’t you know how to steal?

Luo Jie closed his eyes and recalled the battle with "Moonlight Moria". A small square box made entirely of shadows gradually took shape in his hands.

As his thoughts moved, more black boxes appeared out of thin air around him, flying to various parts of the deck one after another.

He stood up and walked into the black box in front of him, and his figure actually walked out of another black box at the stern of the ship.

[You have copied the skill "Shadow Box" of "Moonlight Moria", this skill will be recorded in the "Shadow Fruit" skill panel, and will receive a compatibility bonus. 】

Sure enough it works.

Having found a shortcut, Luo Jie followed suit and copied the skills "Shadow Horn Gun", "Flying Bat", "Shadow Mage", "Shadow Double" and "Shadow Revolution" of "Moonlight Moria" one by one.

As for the last ultimate move "Shadow Gathering Ground", because it needs to peel off other people's shadows before swallowing them, I haven't tried it yet.

The more he continued to practice and become familiar with these new moves, the more thoroughly Luo Jie understood the power of [Devil Fruit].

In his previous life, he once had a puzzle that he couldn't understand - why those players who had eaten [Devil Fruit] would try their best to enlarge their moves as if they were free of charge during battle, all with the attitude of using their strength to produce miracles.

Now that I have become a Devil Fruit user, I understand that you almost never lose mana when using Devil Fruit abilities... Oh no, to be precise, there is still a small amount of mental consumption when using abilities that include sub-rules and final rules, but if

Pure main rule ability, the consumption is almost negligible.

In the following days, Luo Jie changed his usual lazy attitude and stepped up to familiarize himself with this [Shadow Fruit] and the moves he stole from "Moonlight Moria".

As his understanding of [Shadow Fruit] continues to deepen, he can no longer stick to the original form of the moves and make more appropriate modifications according to his own situation. At the same time, he has gained another level of understanding of the failure of "Moonlight Moria"

opinion.

The reason why "Moonlight Moria" is called "The Shame of the Shichibukai" has nothing to do with the [Shadow Fruit]. It can only be said that he chose the wrong direction in developing Devil Fruit.

The world of "One Piece" is a world where personal force is paramount, similar to "Dynasty Warriors". The miscellaneous soldiers are just "scarecrows" to set off the powerful leader. They do not improve their own strength and only blindly explode troops. Once they encounter a strong enemy, they can only be

Hit by dimensionality reduction.

Looking at it from another angle, the main rule of [Shadow Fruit] is "Shadow Rules". In other words, only skills developed entirely by "Shadow Rules" such as "Shadow Horn Spear" and "Shadow Mage" can grow to their limit.

.

However, "Moonlight Moria" chose "Zombie Legion", a skill based on the sub-rule "Soul Rule", as its main skill, which is destined to never be able to use the true power of the "Shadow Fruit"

.

With the lessons of "Moonlight Moria" there, Luo Jie would definitely not fall into the same pit again, but one problem became more and more prominent.

It is his true nature.

After his consciousness entered the "Black Ghost", his body was completely undefended, similar to the out-of-body state of "Princess Mononoke Perona".

If this problem is not solved, the usefulness of [Shadow Fruit] will be greatly reduced.

Does it have to be a separate person to protect each time?

Luo Jie shook his head. To reduce one person's combat power just to use an ability was to destroy the east wall to make up for the west wall.

It would be perfect if I could put the main body in a place that is absolutely safe and can be carried around...

As soon as the thought came out, a flash of light flashed in Luo Jie's mind.

He suddenly remembered the scene where "Moonlight Moria" controlled "Magin Oz" like a robot - what would happen if the ability of [Shadow Fruit] was used to control the main body in turn?

Luo Jie felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he seemed to have discovered a road he had never imagined.

The shadow of the "Black Ghost" changed from a flat plane to a three-dimensional one, turning into a pure black human form - "Shadow Mage". Then the pure black form moved forward and submerged into Luo Jie's shadow, and his body suddenly moved unnaturally.

.

This feeling is very strange, as if I am controlling my body through my consciousness.

Although there is no delay, the fatal problem is the third-person perspective, which cannot grasp the distance of the action at all.

How does "Moonlight Moria" solve this problem?

Luo Jie remembered that "Moonlight Moria" opened a hole in the belly of "Magic Oz" and controlled it from the cockpit perspective, which in a sense was also a first-person perspective.

But the problem is that "Magic Oz" is 67 meters tall. Let alone opening a cockpit, even opening a two-bedroom and one-living room is not a big problem. He is an ordinary human being, let alone opening a hole in his body, even if he can

Yes, it is impossible to sit in such a big "black ghost".

Wait, I am an ordinary human, but the "black ghost" is not...

Luo Jie remembered such a scene in the original work of "One Piece" - the protagonist "Luffy" was locked into a "shadow box" by "Moonlight Moria" and forcibly compressed to the size of a brick.

This kind of compression ratio would have long ago crushed an average person into a can of meat, but due to "Luffy's" [Rubber Fruit] ability, he was still intact after breaking free from the "Shadow Box".

"Black Ghost" is essentially something called IBM particles, which are theoretically easier to compress than "Luffy" with a rubber body.

Putting the body of the "Black Ghost" into the "Shadow Box", Luo Jie began to compress "himself" by himself.

The entire compression process was surprisingly smooth. Since the "Black Ghost" felt no pain, he still didn't feel any discomfort until it was compressed to the size of a fist.

Anyway, there was no danger to his life, so Luo Jie just kept doing nothing and directly squeezed the "black ghost" into a two-dimensional state.

Well, the two-dimensional thing is just a joke. It is actually compressed into a thin piece of cloth and covers your face like an eye mask.

At this moment, the familiar perspective returned to Luo Jie's eyes.

Even he himself didn't expect that after going around in circles, he would actually obtain the complete Devil Fruit ability in such a unique way while bypassing the Devil Fruit's weaknesses.

Well, is this the so-called "the body is glasses"? It is indeed very confusing...

There was a knock on the door of the captain's room at this time. After getting permission, a green-haired "big" beauty nearly five meters tall and wearing cool clothes with the characteristics of the Nine Snakes walked into the room while holding on to the door frame and bending down.

When I stood up, I almost hit the chandelier on the ceiling.

It is the second sister of the three Boya sisters, a user with the [Snake Fruit·Anaconda Form] ability, "Boya Sandasonia".

"Husband, my sister asked me to tell you... uh, what is that you are wearing on your face?"

"Nothing, just a fun little decoration."

Luo Jie would naturally not reveal it to anyone that the glasses were the real thing.

It’s not that I can’t trust “Boya Sundarsonia”, but there are ways to read memories in the pirate world, such as the 35th princess of the Big Mom Pirates and the [Memory Fruit] ability user “Charlotte Brynn”.

It’s better to nip it in the bud as much as possible.

"What did Hancock ask you to inform?"

"Boya Sandasonia" then moved her attention away from Luo Jie's strange eyepatch, and while kneeling down to help him clean up the scattered clutter on the table, she said: "According to "Little Fox Karina"

According to our calculations, we will be able to reach the "Champaign Islands" at noon tomorrow at the latest... My sister asked me to ask if we should rest on the island before setting off, or should we dive directly to the "Mermaid Island"."

Luo Jie said without thinking: "Let's rest on the island for a while."

According to the timeline of the main plot of "One Piece", after the Straw Hats rescue "Nicole Robin" on "Judiciary Island", they will go to the "Shampoo Islands" to find craftsmen who coat the ships.

Passing through the foggy sea on the way, you will also pick up a skeleton named "Brooke" as your new partner.

Luo Jie didn't have to wait until he met the protagonist group before setting off. In fact, what he was waiting for was not "Luffy" and others at all, but the "supernovas" in the original work.

"Supernova" refers to a new pirate whose bounty reaches more than 100 million Baileys in a very short period of time.

The "Fire Fist Ace" five years ago was the "Supernova" of that year.

However, there are generally only one or two "supernovas" born every year. However, the number of "supernovas" in the year when the protagonist "Luffy" entered the Grand Line was an unprecedented number of 11. Such an abnormal phenomenon seems to indicate something.

The coming of a great era.

Luo Jie didn't want to gain anything from these "supernovas". In fact, it was difficult for pirates to help each other in a true sense. They were always rivals, and not stabbing them in the back was considered a very ethical thing.

He simply wanted to witness history. After all, the event of "11 supernovas gathering in the Shampoo Islands" can be said to be the starting point for the second half of "One Piece", and he also wanted to get familiar with the "supernovas" by the way.

Many subsequent special plots and missions will also depend on these "supernovas".

After retracting his divergent thoughts, Luo Jie happened to see "Boya Sandasonia" kneeling sideways, leaning on the window sill with her elbows, looking at the sea outside the window in a daze.

The sea breeze blowing in from the window raised her long, light green wavy hair, and her healthy skin glowed with a soft halo like white jade in the sun. The light and dark light and shadow formed a beautiful scene like an oil painting.

But in the eyes of "Boya Sundar Sonia", there would be a hint of loneliness from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Luo Jie sighed in his heart.

Of course he knows where this loneliness comes from.

Since marrying the three Boya sisters in the presence of everyone on the "Amazon Lily" island, the eldest sister "Boa Hancock" and the third sister "Boa Marigold" have had relationships with him one after another.

Although they were not actually married, only the second sister "Poya Sundarsonia" and he were married in name only.

It's not a matter of who doesn't want to, the key is that the size difference between the two is really huge.

To put it shamelessly, even if it is the 290cm vampire lady "Achina Dimitrescu" in "Resident Evil 8", Luo Jinu can give it a try if she tries hard, but... "Boya Sundarsoni"

"Ya" is 453cm tall, which is almost the size of two "eight-foot-tall" people with their feet on their heads and stacked on top of each other. Moreover, they are enlarged in proportion to their normal bodies. How the hell are they going to break this?

It's not like Luo Jie has never tried to use a dog to help "Boya Sundarsonia" change her body shape. Unfortunately, although [Tuntun Fruit] can perform a series of fine-tuning of the body such as plastic surgery, breast enlargement, weight loss, etc., it is not possible to change the body shape of a fast girl.
