Chapter 2: Devil Fruits
Now that you have accepted the fact of crossing, you must find a way to survive, and survive without being suspected by others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, he can't just say that he has amnesia, or avoid contact with other people. Besides, this world is a world where strength is paramount, and if you don't have the strength, it can be said that you don't even have a chance to protect yourself. A group of naval subordinates outside still have some role in front of the little minions, but in the eyes of the real masters, these naval soldiers are not the same as the little minions.
Could it be that William is a second-rate swordsman?
William's gaze rested on the two knives hanging on the wall, and he picked up one of them as he complained in his heart. However, William thought to himself that his body might have been just a first-class swordsman before, but he was just a hobby collector of famous swords.
"What a sharp knife!" When William's hand touched the blade, fragments of memories of the knife flashed immediately. Although the memories were messy, he knew that the two knives hanging on the wall were his own swords. Moreover, both knives are knives that belong to the level of good knives.
When William learned that he was a swordsman, and he was also a second-sword swordsman, he had a little more confidence in the original strength of his body. If you know how to Navy Six, will you become a four-sword swordsman like Kaku in CP9?
However, William believes that he should know the Navy Six, although this is a CP9 move in the anime, but most of the officers in the Navy Headquarters can more or less know the Six, but the proficiency level is different. And as a colonel in the Navy Headquarters, he can't know the six-style, right?
In other words, if I am from the Navy Headquarters, I can have this group photo, at least it shows that I have a good relationship with them, and I have accepted the guidance of the two of them.
"Huh?" William found a safe in the room, but luckily the safe was made with a key instead of a password, otherwise William, who didn't know the password, wouldn't have been able to open the safe.
There weren't many things in the safe, just a pair of handcuffs, a box, and some documents pressed underneath, and the things that could be placed in the safe were obviously more important.
But what are the handcuffs doing in the safe? And the surface of the handcuffs is very rough, obviously polished. But William soon thought of the Hailou stone handcuffs, and only those made of this rare and hard material would be treated as valuables. However, this kind of handcuff is specifically aimed at people with Devil Fruit abilities, and it is a bit overkill to deal with ordinary people.
This is equipment that uses the ability to arrest Devil Fruits. However, he didn't react when he directly touched the handcuffs of Hailou Stone, obviously his body hadn't eaten any devil fruits before, otherwise his body would have a weak reaction. This made William a little disappointed, he felt that if he didn't eat a Devil Fruit in the world of One Piece, it would be really in vain. Although the strong are not necessarily the ones with the Devil Fruit ability, he still thinks that having the ability of the Devil Fruit will be even cooler.
However, the price of a Devil Fruit on the black market is at least 100 million Baileys, and it is still priceless. If you can get a Devil Fruit, it doesn't matter if you become a landlubber (Devil Fruit Abilities can't swim in the sea due to the curse of the sea, and a person can only eat one Devil Fruit, otherwise they will be killed by the backlash).
What made William more curious was the beautiful big box next to him, I don't know if the contents were jewelry or gold?
Of course, whatever it contains, it is now William's personal belongings. William opened the box directly to see what treasure it contained. But when he opened the box, William found that there was no imaginary gold and silver treasure inside, only a fruit with a strange pattern.
William stared at the fruit in the box with excitement, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, the fruit was not a delicious thing, on the contrary, it was admittedly unpalatable. But it was such a recognized unpalatable thing that William couldn't help but drool!
That's right, it's a Devil Fruit! William never thought there would be a Devil Fruit on his ship. This can be something that can quickly improve strength, the most important thing for William now is strength, only if he has enough strength can he survive in this dangerous world.
Why didn't this body eat this Devil Fruit before? He shouldn't be a Devil Fruit powerhouse. I can't feel any strange changes in my body, and I don't feel any discomfort when I hold the Hailou Stone handcuffs, unless they are not Hai Lou Shi handcuffs at all. But this obviously can't be said, ordinary handcuffs would be placed in such an important place?
Maybe the original owner of this body didn't want to be a Devil Fruit powerhouse. The abilities of Devil Fruits are certainly appealing, but not everyone is interested. Especially for those who are looking for pure body power, the Devil Fruit is simply superfluous. Especially since the original owner is still a master of using swords, he may really disdain to eat the Devil Fruit.
However, William obviously couldn't resist the temptation of the Devil Fruit, and from the moment he accepted that he had crossed into the world of One Piece, he wanted to get one.
But a person can only eat one Devil Fruit, and he doesn't have a Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, so William has no way of knowing what the power of this Devil Fruit is.
Could it be that the previous owner of this body had seen the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book before, and knew that this fruit was not suitable for him, so he didn't eat it? However, without the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, it was impossible to know what the fruit's ability was just by the pattern on the Devil Fruit, and he didn't even know if the fruit belonged to the natural system, or the superhuman system, or the animal line.
But there are no junk devil fruits, only weak ones!! He feels that any fruit is very strong as long as it is well developed.
Even if William obtains the legendary Devil Fruit Illustrated Book through the Naval Intelligence Network, it only records the Devil Fruit abilities that have appeared in the past, but some Devil Fruit abilities that have never appeared are impossible to be recorded by the Illustrated Book.
Therefore, William at this time is gambling on luck, if he is lucky, he will be late for a good ability, and it is not impossible to even obtain a natural ability.
However, after eating the Devil Fruit, you have to face the weakness of the sea, and even so, there are still countless pirate navy who want to become Devil Fruit powerhouses. No matter how hard many people cultivate, they are never able to break through the limits of their bodies, and the Devil Fruit is equivalent to one more choice.
It's like Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, who developed the second and third gears through rubber fruits, so that he can surpass his own limits.
However, for William, even though he didn't know what the power of this Devil Fruit in his hand was, he still had no hesitation to eat this Devil Fruit. For him, only a fool would put a Devil Fruit and not eat it. He didn't know what the qualifications of his body were, and if his body's cultivation reached a bottleneck, then developing the ability of the Devil Fruit would be the best choice to improve his strength.
Besides, one more hole card will give you an extra guarantee of survival. Although he will turn into a landlubber, he is not good at swimming in the first place, as long as he tries to stay on land in the future.
"Vomit~!" Just took a bite, William almost vomited, although he said that he had already prepared in his heart, but it was too unpalatable. Fortunately, you can get the ability as long as you take a bite, otherwise William would even have the heart to give up. This thing is not ordinary unpalatable, it is simply unpalatable.
Looking at the Devil Fruit that had been bitten in his hand, William threw it back into the box, and the taste of the Devil Fruit would be unforgettable after tasting it once. At this time, William felt disgusted when he saw the Devil Fruit, which was enough to show how unpalatable the Devil Fruit was.
After a few moments, William found himself in a castle, a very rudimentary castle. Moreover, his own consciousness can control this castle at will, can make and manipulate tables and chairs at will, and can even turn the humble castle into luxury and luxury.
With his own consciousness, he can change his body and the surrounding environment at will, which is very similar to the elementalization of the natural system, could it be that he has obtained the ability of the natural devil fruit?
But how is the scenery outside the castle so familiar? But it looks a little weird! as if all the scenery outside has become huge!
Is this castle his own body? William soon felt that the fruit abilities he had acquired were not natural, but superhuman. And this ability reminded William of a Devil Fruit in the Superman line, the Fortified City Fruit.
In the original anime, this Fortified City Fruit belongs to one of the eleven supernovas from the West Sea and Luffy, the captain of the Flame Tank Pirates, Capone Becky.
It's just that how could the fruit of the "gang" Capone Becky's fortified city appear on his own warship? Could it be that he is now in the waters of the West Sea? Or is it that he is already on the great voyage?
