Chapter 493: Choice
Speaking of this world, the most desirable and the first thing that jumps into people's minds must be the strange fruit of various mysterious powers, which is called the treasure of the sea, and does not know where it came from. It can turn an ordinary person's life upside down.
Devil Fruits.
This is the name that the people of this world have given to this fruit.
The name is a fear of its price, even if it is a desire for demonic temptation.
Give you special powers, and then strip you of a skill that you are capable of. That's what Devil Fruits are capable of. If you swallow it, you will be insulated from the ocean, and you will become a landlubber who can't learn to swim no matter what, and no matter how much you flutter in the water, you can't float.
In this ocean-dominated world, this punishment, or curse, can be considered quite severe. But most of the people in this world who go to sea still flock to it.
This kind of special, fruit that contains the ability to rule is also the most attractive to Tang Bai in this world. The perfection of the Domain Stones, the rules contained in these Devil Fruits, can undoubtedly be of considerable help.
But thinking of this, Tang Bai sighed slightly. He once asked Calis if he knew about the existence of the Devil Fruit. But Calis's answer made Tang Bai's slightly high-spirited mood calm down again.
Calis had heard of the fame of the Devil Fruit, but had never seen one, and he and his crew and most of the people in the world believed that the legend about the Devil Fruit might just be a false one.
It's like the original world. Like the Kraken, a sea monster like raiding merchant ships and pulling ships towards the deepest part of the abyss, there are legends about it. There are as many as gods, but no matter how true the sailors are, and how widely this legend has spread, people can only be suspicious of this legend.
After all, the West Sea is just the West Sea, not a great shipping route with a complex and changeable environment and a strange environment.
From memory of the bounty of pirates from all over the world. Compared to the bounties of those pirates on the Great Voyage, it is easy to see the difference. With a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys, you can dominate the East China Sea, one of the four seas. But in the Great Voyage, it is not surprising that pirates with this bounty are not as many as the stars, but they are also everywhere.
And the Devil's Tree that forms the Devil Fruit. It seems to have been produced somewhere in the deep sea of the Great Voyage.
Tang Bai discovered. I also have some assumptions to take for granted. In my memory, Devil Fruits don't seem to be unusual, and if you casually walk to a certain area, you can meet a person with demonic abilities who has taken Devil Fruits. But the impression in my memory can only be said to be the luck of those protagonists.
It's a matter of probability.
If you want to be able to meet a Devil Fruit ability from time to time like the protagonists, I'm afraid you can only do it on the Great Voyage.
Tang Bai needs to thank the dead One Piece Gore D Roger, because the crazy Age of Discovery, which he started single-handedly, has become a convenience for Tang Bai to achieve his goal at this moment. Restless people lured by treasure frantically poured into the sea. Pours into the Great Passage, into Lovedrew, the closest finish. It is now known as the second half of the Great Voyage of the New World.
This journey will eliminate countless unqualified pirates, and be able to break into the second half of the great voyage known as the New World, whether or not they can gain a foothold in it, it represents an indisputable strength. And the chances of such a person having a certain Devil Fruit ability will undoubtedly increase greatly.
Devil Fruit is the direct transformation of a person's physique into a certain trait. For example, in the case of nature, it can almost be said to be an assimilation of the elements. Tang Bai wanted to study these regular abilities, whether it was a Devil Fruit that was intact and had never been eaten by anyone, or a Devil Fruit that had been taken by someone and transformed into its own ability, it was not much different to Tang Bai.
But this has a premise, that someone is willing to use it as an experiment to let Tang Bai study. And it also needs to have a steady stream of experimental objects that can be used for Tang Bai to study. The single, and large-scale Devil Fruit research is very different from Tang Bai.
But Devil Fruits are by no means a ubiquitous mass product. Most of the people who can possess Devil Fruits on a large scale are some powerful forces with extremely wide tentacles. World government, for example? Another example is the Four Emperors of the New World?
The Draconians are also such a force, and in their memories, even just to have fun and add some fun to themselves, they can take out a few Devil Fruits at will and eat them for their slaves, and use the new abilities of these slaves to amuse themselves.
Join the World Government's Navy?
This may be one of the ways to study Devil Fruits in large quantities. But it will take a long time to achieve its goal.
Scientist?
There are Vegapunk in the Navy.
In terms of understanding and suitability of the science and technology of this world, as well as the understanding of various materials and so on, Vegapunk is far more than Tang Bai. It's not that Tang Bai, who has mastered alchemy, is not as good as Vegapunk. But in a short period of time, it is impossible for Tang Bai to achieve the same status as Vegapunk.
One of the few things that is better than alchemy is that the materials are sufficient, and it can be scaled up without limits.
Joining the navy under the world government as a combat force is not as good as the previous choice in Tang Bai's heart.
The impression in my memory is that most of the people in this world don't have very high IQs, but Calis, who traveled with Tang Bai all the way, and his crew, showed cunning along the way, but they were no worse than people from other worlds.
It's easy to sneak into the navy, just anyone with a clean identity, a clean background, and no relationship with villains like pirates can do it. But it is definitely not so easy to get mixed into a high position. Most of them joined the Navy as teenagers and received various forms of training and training.
Secret organizations like CP9 are recruited from dolls.
Factions, and politics, exist wherever there are people, and so does this world.
Whether it is the top level of the world government or the top level of the subordinate navy, the top forces and backbones, in addition to their own certain capabilities, are also mostly from the lineage.
The Warring States of the Buddha, the Black Wrist Zefa, who are still in the position of the three major generals, and the three major generals in the future, Qingzhi, Yellow Ape, and Red Inu, have also proved this.
The black-wristed Zefa has been in the navy almost since he was a teenager, and after making countless military exploits, he was promoted to general in middle age. And Qingzhi and Akainu waited until the Warring States period when they abdicated from the position of general, and after being promoted to general, their age was at least forty years old. This is still a lineage.
Mole, Fire Mountain, and Stoloberry, who were also lieutenant generals with the young Akainu, were still only lieutenant generals when the future battle of the top was more than ten years later. If you have the ability, you will definitely be able to get the right appreciation, promotion and other things, Tang Bai has already passed the age of believing in this. He also has no intention of groveling to others and flattering others.
If the world government and navy are really so upright and magnificent, why should Long risk his life to betray the navy that cultivated him and even his father, and become the leader of the revolutionary army? If it's just for power, as the son of the hero Karp, why should he go far and near?
What are those officials who remember such strangely speechless officials as Kamon and others as Spandam?
Tang Bai's purpose is only the Devil Fruit, as for the other One Piece Secret Treasures, whether they are righteous and evil, or fighting for power and profit, they are not in his consideration. The Devil Fruits collected by the Navy must also be distributed. If the position is not high enough, you will not be able to participate in it.
After throwing away the way of joining the navy, there were not many options for Tang Bai to choose from.
Back to the old business?
Be a pirate boss like you did in the Caribbean?
This kind of free and unfettered profession is indeed very suitable for Tang Bai, who is now unwilling to be restrained by others. And in this world, pirates of the level of the Four Emperors have the strength and ability to compete with huge forces such as the world government.
The world government and navy, which is composed of 170 countries, is indeed the most powerful organization on the planet, but this ocean is too vast, and the dense islands are as numerous as the stars in the night, which greatly disperses its power.
In Tang Bai's opinion, there is another very interesting thing, that is, good devil fruits always seem to fall on the outstanding people in these forces. For example, in the future, the three will be uniform, and they can also be called powerful natural fruits such as freezing, lava, and flash in the natural system. The Warring States period is even more in the animal system, known as the rarer phantom beast Buddha form fruit than the natural department.
Coincidentally, as the whitebeard of the Four Emperors, Marco under his command also has a devil fruit of the phantom beast species. And the dark fruit, which is known as the most powerful natural fruit, is also in the territory of Whitebeard.
Before the Devil Fruit is eaten, no one knows whether they are eating natural or animal or superhuman fruits, let alone what kind of abilities they will get. However, the fact that the Devil Fruit is collected from the Navy and appropriately rewarded and distributed shows that the Navy has a way to verify the types and abilities of the Devil Fruit.
Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.
Before studying the Devil Fruit, the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book should obviously also be taken into account by itself. But this kind of thing is much more difficult to obtain than a single Devil Fruit. So far, the only force that Tang Bai knows of with the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book is the World Government.
And maybe Whitebeard?
Tang Bai dropped the newspaper in his hand and stroked his jaw, perhaps, he should go to a new world? (To be continued......)
