The sun was setting in the west, and as Foxy continued to sweat, the sky gradually darkened.
Foxy smiled at the last moment, because he successfully reached nine times with his right foot in 0.36 seconds, which was only one step away from ten times.
Now he is in a good mood, as if all the fatigue has disappeared, and his spirit remains high.
At this rate, it is very likely that he will learn to shave within two months. As long as he learns to shave, whether it is attacking or saving his life, he will increase his chances of winning, and the benefits are definitely what Foxy desperately needs.
Although I learned how to shave only two months ago and am a little bit incapable of doing it, I am already quite talented compared to the average person.
After stretching, his body smelled of sweat, Foxy walked to the Tamsui River and planned to take a bath.
He only dared to let the river water reach his thighs, and he dared not go up any further, because fresh water could also make him weak.
Foxy almost drowned during his first bath.
That's right, not only the sea can make Foxy lose his strength, but fresh water can too.
Foxy found that as long as most of the body is covered by river water, the body's strength will be lost more. If it is only a partial part, the strength will be affected according to the size of the coverage.
At first, Foxy was yelling loudly. Didn’t he say that people with devil fruit abilities would become powerless if they fell into the sea?
How come fresh water also works?
In fact, what Foxy doesn't know is that the setting of Devil Fruit has been set from the first episode, and it can be said to be the cornerstone of the entire work.
People with abilities who eat devil fruits will be disgusted by the sea and will never be able to swim for the rest of their lives.
This is the initial setting.
As the plot develops, more and more problems emerge. After all, you are a pirate, and you can't live at sea all day without touching the water.
At this time, many people will have misunderstandings, thinking that people with abilities are afraid of sea water, but not fresh water.
Foxy thought so too.
In fact, there is some truth to this view. The arguments are as follows:
According to the setting, you cannot swim after eating a Devil Fruit because you were abandoned by the sea, so there is no problem if the fresh water is not sea water.
If you are afraid of fresh water, wouldn't it mean that you can't take a bath or drink water?
Luffy got wet many times due to bad weather at sea, but he still used his abilities.
But in fact, people with abilities are not only afraid of sea water, but also fresh water, and the effect of fresh water is exactly the same as that of sea water.
In the movie version of The Strongest Enemy Z, when Luffy and his friends were taking a bath in the hot spring, it was as if they had fallen into the sea.
At the same time, the general Aokiji who was soaking in the hot spring also said, "If I were here to kill you, I would not meet you in a hot spring where I cannot use my powers."
Later, when Aokiji came out of the hot spring, the left leg he lost because of Akainu was also made on the spot when he left the hot spring, indicating that he could not use his abilities in the hot spring and did not have that leg.
To sum up, people with abilities are not only afraid of sea water, but also fresh water, and the degree of fear is the same. Even if it touches a little, it will be okay, but if half of the body is submerged, it will be completely powerless.
Another thing that is special here is the sea floor stone.
Sea Tower Stones are the crystallization of the power of the sea and represent the solid sea. People with abilities do not need a large number of Sea Tower Stones to submerge them. They only need to touch a small one and they will immediately lose their abilities. This is contrary to the fact that sea water must submerge half of the body.
.
The sea floor stone should be high-density, which means that a small sea floor stone does not represent a small drop of sea water, but represents a large area of sea water. Touching the sea floor stone is equivalent to being submerged in water, so the ability will be affected.
A situation of suppression.
There are many scenes of fighting on rainy days in anime. For example, in the Cake Island chapter, Luffy fought with Big Mom’s men in the heavy rain in order to save Sanji. He was very lively at that time, and he usually took a bath and drank water.
Feeling uncomfortable?
Oda himself explained this point: espers are afraid of water, whether it is fresh water or sea water.
Water will limit the ability of a person with abilities, but even if you are afraid of water, there are several situations, one is that the whole body is immersed, one is partial, and one is relatively scattered.
If the entire body is soaked in water, it will definitely not be able to display its abilities, and the person with the abilities will become limp and powerless.
If it is localized, it will only make it difficult for the ability user to use the ability. If it is scattered, such as rain, it will not have much impact.
As for people with abilities drinking water, it may be like us drinking carbonated drinks. After drinking it, we just feel a little weak, and after a while it will be fine.
This can actually be reflected in the sea floor stone. Although some people with abilities cannot use the sea floor stone handcuffs, their physical strength is still there, but it will change differently depending on the person.
Therefore, the ability users in One Piece are afraid of water. As for drinking water, bathing, etc., of course they will also be affected, but the extent of the impact is different.
Also, in the Cake Island chapter, Jinbe attacked Prometheus with seawater, which greatly weakened Prometheus. At the same time, he used seawater to wet Big Mom, making the Yonko very embarrassed.
These actions seemed to be effective, but they were all overturned by the latest chapter 891. In chapter 891, Big Mom and Prometheus were hardly affected by the sea water and were still strong.
Isn’t Auntie a Devil Fruit user? Why isn’t she afraid of sea water?
This involves the issue of water quantity.
Regardless of whether it is sea water or fresh water, as long as there is enough water, it can render those with Devil Fruit abilities powerless.
In the same way, if there is insufficient water, neither seawater nor fresh water will have much impact on the esper.
What amount of water is enough? According to Oda SBS, it should be "more than half the body".
In other words, if only half of the body is submerged in the water, or if the hands and feet touch the water, the symptoms of weakness will not be so serious. If the amount of water exceeds half of the body, the person with the ability will be completely weak.
But this does not happen with flowing water, such as rain. This kind of water falling from the sky flows through the body of the esper, and it will not cause the esper to lose strength or be unable to use his abilities.
Therefore, Big Mom was drowned by the Jinbei current, but it did not have much impact on Big Mom's strength. It can even be said that it had no impact.
Because the sea current passes by, like rainwater, it cannot soak Big Mom for a long time, so Big Mom will not be weak, or Big Mom is too strong so it cannot be seen.
But later, when big mom was knocked away, it was Zeus who caught him. This also means that big mom is afraid of falling into the sea, which shows that she is indeed afraid of water.
So I really think there is only one person with abilities, whether it is sea water or fresh water, they are all restrained, it’s just a matter of quantity!
In the days when Foxy first arrived at Marine Fando to train with the Marines, he always took a shower and rinsed himself. At that time, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he was fine after taking a shower, so he didn't take it seriously.
Didn't even think about it.
Later, when I entered the academy, I took a blood medicinal bath, but the specific ingredients of the blood medicinal bath were Neptune blood and various medicines.
Although blood also contains water, the amount is so small that Foxy doesn't feel anything.
In fact, when he was in the village, Foxy discovered this problem by carrying water, but he didn't think about it in detail because he didn't pay attention to it at that time.
But this time he almost drowned while taking a shower. In the end, with the ironclad evidence, he had to accept it even if he didn't accept it.
In addition, Brooke can also run on the sea, and Big Mom’s fourth son Charlotte Owen can also boil the seawater by putting her hands in the seawater.
Big Mom can even create big waves like Mihoz.
These are all bugs.
Therefore, Foxy yelled at Oda more than once. If the setting that espers are afraid of sea water, or that they are afraid of water, is not a trap, then it is a wrong setting.
In short, Foxy doesn't dare to soak his whole body in the bath now, unless there is someone he trusts next to him, otherwise he is seeking death.

The farmer consulted a large amount of information and got such a result. It may be right or wrong. You are welcome to discuss it in this chapter or in the book review.
Let's dissect One Piece together and explore its essence.
Oda has been drawing comics for a long time, and he knows a lot about Hammer One Piece.
I would like to declare that this is just the farmer’s personal opinion, which may be right or wrong, but it is just conjecture.
Everyone is welcome to talk nonsense, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, freedom of speech!
