After repeated trials, Ian finally determined that Doruni really couldn't eat inorganic matter like Valpo at the beginning, and after eating this Devil Fruit, although Doruni also became super edible, what he ate was just food in the conventional sense.

Moreover, for now, the ability that Doruni has shown is only that the more he eats, the stronger he becomes! I don't know what other capabilities there are, but we may need to wait for development.

Judging from these performances, the Devil Fruit that Ian got was not the original Swallowing Fruit, but its nature had changed.

Maybe it's better to call this Devil Fruit the Gluttony Fruit or eat the Fruit now......

Pheasant said that this could be a subordinate fruit that had become a swallowing fruit, and Ian agreed with him, but Ian felt that Doruni's current situation might be better than obtaining the ability to swallow fruits.

Valpo felt stupid at the beginning, Ian always thought that this thing was because he ate the wrong thing, so his brain was funny, Ian didn't want Doruni to become like Valpo, or it was best to keep the feeling of being naïve now, although he ate more, but Ian could afford to raise him, especially the biggest advantage was that he didn't have to worry about Doruni gnawing his ship that day!

As for what kind of upper fruit and lower fruit or something, Ian doesn't think there's anything, if you judge the strength of the fruit simply according to this distribution, it would be too arbitrary, and now the ready-made example is in front of you, Ace's burnt fruit has evolved because of the development of ability, and in Ian's opinion, it is not weaker than the magma fruit of the red dog.

Again, the strength of ability depends on the use and development of individual ability.

And when Ian said the above sentence to Doruni, what he didn't expect was that the first person to agree was the guy Klockdahl.

"That's right!" Klockdahl took a sip of his cigar, then exhaled the smoke and said, "Superhuman fruits are relatively easy to awaken, and if they can be awakened, the strength of those with Devil Fruit abilities will rise to a higher level." ”

Ian glanced back at him and said, "It seems that you are taking the path of firm Devil Fruit ability development!" ”

"Humph!" Klockdahl glared at Ian coldly, and said, "Don't be complacent, if when you fight me, my fruit ability has been awakened, then I don't know who will kill the deer!" ”

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Among the three lineages of Devil Fruits, when eating the Devil Fruits, the strength gained by the natural system is the strongest, followed by the superhuman line, and the animal type is the weakest!" However, everything has its own balance, and in the process of training and developing the fruit ability, the Devil Fruit ability of the animal system is the easiest to awaken, followed by the superhuman system, and the natural system is the most difficult! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the pheasant next to him, obviously meaning something, but the pheasant didn't say anything.

Ian glanced at Klockdahl with some surprise, he didn't expect Klockdahl's research on the ability of the Devil Fruit to be so deep, what he said, Ian heard it for the first time.

Klockdahl is also a natural person, so this guy is actually limited because the fruit ability is difficult to awaken? After all, this guy won't be domineering......

Regarding the discussion of the Devil Fruit's ability, Doruni didn't really care much, he was actually quite happy, after having this Devil Fruit, this guy can eat in the open, and he is excited that he can eat more delicious food.

After these episodes, the flotilla continued to pursue Jerma's flotilla.

Although Ian was also wondering what caused the nature of the Swallowing Fruit to change, after thinking for a while, he put it aside for the time being......

"It's energy! The overflow of energy! ”

At this time, in a tavern in a certain country in the West Sea, a burly and rude man was laughing "thief hahahaha".

And there is only one person with such a signature laugh: Marshall Brownbeard, nicknamed Blackbeard. D. Teach!

After defecting from the Whitebeard Pirates, Titch finally appeared in the West Sea, and at this time he was sitting in the tavern, facing this man in a top hat and holding a civilized crutch, this man had no eyebrows, and he wore earrings on his ears, he looked demonic, but he was listening to Titch very seriously.

Around the two of them, the ground was full of messes, tables, chairs and benches were all shattered, dozens of people had fallen in pools of blood, and there was no one in the entire tavern who could move except for the two of them.

Obviously, just now, there was a battle here, and the person who attacked it was undoubtedly Blackbeard Teach, or ...... It's the two of them.

The demonic man in front of Titch, named Lafayette, is a security officer in this country, but he has been violently enforced and arrested, and it happened that Titch passed by here and saw him more pleasing to the eye, so he rescued him.

At this time, Titch was spitting and narrating to Lafayette: "If you think of the Devil Fruit ability as a kind of energy, then the Devil Fruit itself is the container that carries this energy, and when a person eats the Devil Fruit, the container changes into a human body, so at this time, people can use the energy of the Devil Fruit!" However, the moment a person dies, it means that the container is gone, and at this time, the Devil Fruit energy will be transferred again, if there is something nearby that can carry this energy, then the energy will be transferred in, and if not, the energy will 'escape'! It will only reappear when it finds its place of re-elution! That's the real reason why people think that after the death of a Devil Fruit powerhouse, the same Devil Fruit will reappear somewhere in the world! ”

"Oh!? I see! Lafayette clubbed his chin, looked at Blackbeard seductively, and said in surprise: "Then what does this have to do with what you just said, the overflow of energy?" ”

"When the Devil Fruit ability dies, if there is a container nearby that can carry energy, such as a fruit, this is the best carrier, and the energy of the Devil Fruit will enter the fruit!" "But in the process, the energy will overflow, which means that the energy that goes into the container will not be all!" This may lead to a change in the nature of the energy, and it will become a Devil Fruit that is inferior to the original fruit, which is also known as the Lower Fruit! ”

"You mean, it's like half of the energy is gone, and the other half is overflowing?" Lafayette asked suspiciously, "Where did this part of the energy that was spilled out go?" ”

"I don't know, maybe this part of the energy will continue to wander!" Titch shook his head and said, "It's possible that after the original owner dies, these energies will be reunited and restored to the original Devil Fruit!" These are more in-depth studies of Devil Fruits, which are the work of scholars and scientists, and I can't know in such detail, but I heard that the containers that can carry the energy of Devil Fruits are not limited to fruits, and it seems that some specific weapons can also become carriers, and it is said that this is the latest achievement of the Naval Science Corps, which can also allow weapons to obtain the ability of Devil Fruits! ”

"It's amazing!" Lafayette exclaimed in amazement, "I always thought that only living beings could obtain the Devil Fruit ability......"

"Thief hahaha!" Titch laughed again and said, "Weapons also depend on what kind of weapon they are, it seems that only weapons made of specific minerals have the ability to become containers, I remember it seems to be called 'distillerite'...... It seems to be the name, and it doesn't seem to be, no matter what! ”

"So, Lord Teach!" Lafayette said, "What do you mean by saying this to me?" ”

"Do you want to join my pirates?" Titch cracked his toothless mouth and laughed, "Because I have a way to completely transfer the Devil Fruit's energy to a certain container and prevent it from escaping, so that we can hunt down those powerful Devil Fruit abilities, completely plunder their abilities, and form a super army, become the most powerful pirate group, and then ascend to the throne of One Piece!" ”

"If that's the case, then it's a great honor, my captain!" Lafayette stood up, bent over her chest and saluted Titch.

From this moment on, Titch finally found his first companion, the Blackbeard Pirates, and finally officially formed......
