Chapter 536: True Half-Fishman
[I see, half-fishman...... Is it? Sure enough, it's also very special, can you be my companion? 】
[This is the ...... The ability to listen to the voice of all things? Or the ability of the Fish-People? Still is...... The ability of the half-fish man? 】
Ziggy suddenly remembered that when he first met Shanks, he took the initiative to accept Ziggy's identity as a "half-fish man", and immediately decided to pull Zigg into the gang - at that time, Ziggy vaguely felt that the reason why Shanks was interested in him was mainly because of the identity of the "half-fish man", presumably a certain "half-fish man", which left a deep impression on him.
And when he knew that Ziggy could have more than one fruit ability, Shanks also seriously wondered if it was the ability of a "half-fish man"!
Ziggy did feel at that time that the last thing Shanks wanted was the special ability of the "half-fish man".
It wasn't until now that Ziggy finally understood the reason and who the "half-fish man" he had always cared about was - Marshall J. D. Teach!
This thing is actually a half-fish man?
Ziggy was also amazed when he found this.
The last time I saw Titch was when Ziggy beat Whitebeard all over the ground looking for teeth, and Ziggy had just become the "Bishop of the Rose" and was unable to analyze Blackbeard's flesh and blood without alarming anyone.
And now......
Ziggy saw it clearly!
Blackbeard actually faintly felt the gaze of the "mysterious man", but Ziggy didn't care, without Whitebeard's support here, what could Blackbeard do if he found out what he could do with him?
He dared to ask, "What do you see?", and Ziggy dared to go up and smoke him......
Shanks cared about him very much, but ...... Now Blackbeard, in order to "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger", is about to become a real pig - at least compared to Shanks, when the two were young, they could still fight back and forth, but now Blackbeard is far from Shanks's opponent.
It is true that he should have hidden his strength, and Ziggy could feel that his flesh and blood contained different powers from those expressed, but ......
Even if it completely breaks out, at most it will only be equivalent to some sub-captains at the back of the White Regiment, inferior to any combat cadres of the Red Regiment!
For ordinary pirates, it can indeed be regarded as "powerful", but it is not enough to see in front of Ziggy, and compared with his future achievements in the original work, it is the tip of the iceberg.
Compared to these hidden powers, Ziggy cares more about ...... This guy is actually a half-fish man?
And Ziggy has already judged the bloodline factor of his "half of the fish-man" - octopus! Like Hachi, it's a rare octopus fish man!
However, because he is a half-fish man, Tiki hardly has any fish-man characteristics on the outside, but on the inside, he is closer to an octopus than Hachi!
At least as far as Ziggy knows, Hachi's internal organs are the same as those of humans, while Titch is like an octopus, with three hearts.
And at the level of bloodline factors, Titch also has obvious octopus characteristics - the bloodline factor discovered by Vegapunk is actually the DNA that Ziggy is familiar with......
Normal humans are transcribed by DNA, after which RNA determines the synthesis of proteins, which are essentially proteins...... Or rather, the mystery of flesh and blood, which is determined by the bloodline factor.
The octopus has a special ability, that is, to edit RNA - normally, RNA is completely determined by DNA, and mutation is rare, but after the octopus transcribes RNA, it will be edited again in a directed manner, and the degree of change is more than 60%.
This is not a variation, but a directed edit that has adapted to the environment......
In other words, the evolution of other organisms is completely recorded in DNA, but part of the evolution of the octopus is recorded in the alteration of RNA.
DNA is transcribed into RNA, and then RNA is redirected editing, and the result of the editing is used to guide protein synthesis - that is, the mystery of his flesh and blood comes not only from DNA, but also from "directed editing of RNA".
Ziggy now suspects that the reason why Blackbeard can possess two fruit abilities is also because he uses this trait!
One fruit is directly affected by the DNA, that is, the normal "set" is in the descent factor, while the ability of the other fruit is recorded in the "RNA editing method", that is, the "sleeve" is kept, and after transcribing the RNA, it is edited according to this "sleeve" again......
It's not that Blackbeard's bloodline factor is stronger than normal, it's that he has a way of not affecting flesh and blood through bloodline factors!
Achieved the final synthesis of flesh and blood, with the characteristics of two fruits, without the effect of putting two layers on the bloodline factor.
Indeed, in the original work, Blackbeard's way of absorbing the ability of the second fruit is not to eat the fruit......
Perhaps it was by relying on the ability of the "Dark Fruit" that the "sleeve" of the Shock Fruit was sucked into his own editing nerves, instead of directly on the bloodline factor?
Of course, this must be very rare.
Because of normal fish people, the body structure is closer to that of humans, such as the pure octopus fish man Hachi, who does not have the property of an octopus.
Ziggy is only speculating now, and even Ziggy feels that if this is the case, Blackbeard in the original work also has an "element of gambling" when he does this!
Blackbeard probably doesn't dare to guarantee that he can record the second fruit ability in "RNA editing methods......
In the original work, before Blackbeard intervened in the top war, he also told his crew that if he failed, he would break up on the spot, and everyone would "share their luggage".
Blackbeard didn't have a target to refer to, but after studying his body, he felt that "maybe it would work", and then gambled.
After all, Blackbeard's gambling nature has always been not small, just like when he was in the Whitebeard Pirates, he also "bet" that he could meet the Dark Fruit - if he can't meet it, he is willing to gamble and lose, and stay on Whitebeard's ship for the rest of his life and be his good son.
However, as soon as he saw the Dark Fruit, Blackbeard immediately turned his heart sideways, and he did not drag the mud and water at all.
Similarly, absorbing the second fruit ability is a gamble, and Blackbeard did it without hesitation - if he succeeded, he would become the new generation of Four Emperors and compete for the position of One Piece, but failed...... It's a big deal to die there on the spot!
can be called the most "pirate" person in the pirate world, there is no one.
"Another glass of rum, sugar and ice." Ziggy said to the boss again.
During this time, Titch also pretended not to find out, however...... When the second glass of wine was placed in front of Ziggy, Ziggy pushed the glass, and the rum slid down the bar and stopped in front of Blackbeard.
"I'll ask for this cup." Ziggy said in a calm voice.
The others still didn't notice anything, but Titch broke out in a cold sweat, apparently he also understood that the "mystery man" already knew that he had found him!
Dongdong: Blackbeard has something to do with the "octopus", mainly because the head is his pirate banner - three skeletons, with eight bones exposed at the back, which can be interpreted as "three hearts, eight brachials and feet".
This speculation is not original to Bento, and after the "three-headed dog hypothesis of hell" has declined, the octopus hypothesis is one of the more common hypotheses, but the specific "half-fish man" or "fruit" is different.
Linking the double fruit to the octopus's ability to edit RNA is Bento's own original (nonsense), but the logic is quite smooth, and in this way, there is no need to involve a third fruit.
However, the probability of RNA being in the original work is extremely low, because of this hypothesis, there is a huge bug, that is, the octopus editing RNA was discovered by scientists in 2015, later than the time when the character Blackbeard appeared in the work.
If the RNA is all right, it means that Oda has modified Blackbeard's setting in combination with scientific discoveries......
But no matter what,That's how it's explained in this fandom! This is also the thread that has been buried in this book since Shanks appeared at the beginning, but it is not a temporary blind edit......
