Chapter 65: Upgrades and Conjectures
After a moment of chatting about the customs and fun of the islands, the conversation turned to Victor's new Devil Fruit.
"Victor, how did you get this fruit?" Everyone was curious.
Victor held a wooden box in his hand, and inside was the green apple covered in spiral patterns, the superhuman Devil Fruit and Fungus Fruit.
"I can't say exactly how it works. However, when I was at the Rainbow Hypermarket, three static images suddenly appeared in my mind. ”
Victor held up three fingers: "The first picture - the second basket of an apple stall in a vegetable and fruit market, among the many apples in the basket is a green apple full of spiral lines. ”
"The second picture – in the corner of the fruit and vegetable section, a giant man in a wide cloak is sitting there munching on melons boringly, and there is no doubt that this is our Mr. Moria."
"The third picture is that in a residential building, there is a man with withered hair who is eating bread and watching a place with a telescope. It's unclear who the one on the screen is, but given the specificity of the first two images, I have reason to believe that this watcher has something to do with our trip. ”
Hao Xue scratched her head in disbelief: "Is the innate domineering color so powerful?" You can even predict the future!? ”
"It's not about predicting the future." Victor shook his finger: "It's more like summarizing the information that is happening within a certain range at this moment, which is beneficial or unfavorable to me, into a picture and projected into my mind, which should be regarded as an upgraded version of 'Apocalypse'." Actually, this ability already had some foreshadowing when I fought with CP9 Commander 'Lion', but at the time I thought it was a 'Battle Prediction' ability, but I didn't expect it to be such an advanced skill. ”
"Aren't you invincible, brother?" Perona said excitedly.
"Perona, the word 'invincible' can't be said casually." Victor laughed: "You know, there are countless strong people on this sea, and some people even train their domineering to the terrifying level of 'foreseeing the future'. Even such a master is not 'invincible', and I still need to continue to practice. Moreover, the way this new ability of the 'Apocalypse' is activated is completely unclear, and it seems to be activated randomly. ”
"And then there's this Devil Fruit."
Victor threw away the wooden locket in his hand and said slowly:
"Before acquiring this Devil Fruit, Robin and I got involved in a sudden battle. The two sides of the battle are Vince Mock Leijiu, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Jerma, and the pirate 'Mycelium' Matsutake Mushroom, who has a bounty of 46 million Berry, and the latter is the one who is capable of the superhuman mushroom fruit. Out of a fit of insanity, I shot the pirate and saw with my own eyes that all the mycelium he had created with the fruit's power vanished on its own. ”
Robin thought for a moment and said, "According to the current rumors, once a person with a Devil Fruit ability dies, the Devil Fruit he takes will be reborn somewhere in the world, which is why there are no two fruit abilities with the same ability in the world at the same time. But as soon as a person with such an ability dies, it is a bit ...... to 'refresh' the same Devil Fruit near the place of death."
"That's what I thought." Victor said: "Suppose that after the death of the person with the ability of the fungus fruit, the ability of the fungus fruit in his body does not dissipate, but leaves the body of the person with the original ability at a level that cannot be discerned by the naked eye, and floats randomly. Let's also assume that each Devil Fruit will have a specific fruit to correspond to. And it just so happened that near the place of death of the person with the ability of the fungus fruit, there happened to be such an apple that completely matched the 'channel' corresponding to the fungus fruit. ”
Syllable!
Victor's palm patted on the wooden box and said, "In this case, it can be explained." ”
Robin thought with his finger to his chin, then said, "If that's the case, that's interesting." ”
"Oh? How so? Haoxue raised her lightning-shaped eyebrows.
"I once heard a rumor that there is a book on the sea called The Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, which records the appearance and abilities of all the Devil Fruits that have appeared so far."
Robin said slowly: "If someone writes down the appearance and ability of all the fruits on the illustrated book, and then finds the corresponding fruit according to the appearance of the fruit and brings it with them, once they find and kill the corresponding fruit ability, then can't they directly 'capture' the fruit?" ”
"Your idea is good, but you need a premise."
Victor shook his head: "There needs to be an 'ability' to 'coat' the fruit, an 'ability' that can accurately attract the fruit's ability." ”
"Victor, do you really have this ability?" Mai Hongji felt that the abilities of these 'sorcerers' were too strange.
"Legend has it that there is a natural Devil Fruit called the 'Dark Fruit'. It is known as the most sinister ability in the history of the Devil Fruit. The person who takes it can have a black hole-like gravity, and can accurately attract the ability through contact, regardless of the other person's ability, will be temporarily incapacitated. ”
Victor threw the wooden box containing the fungus fruit on the table, hugged his shoulders and frowned, and said, "If it's a dark fruit, maybe you can inject the fruit with the dark fruit ability, so that it has a much better chance of capturing the corresponding Devil Fruit ability 'channel'." In this case, once the person with the ability is killed, the fruit carried by the murderer will become the corresponding Devil Fruit. ”
"So, who is the person who now has the power of the Dark Fruit?" Perona said a little scared: "Lord Pepe's ghost fruit is so powerful, it will definitely be targeted, right?" ”
"It's been a long time since the Dark Fruit has appeared on this sea." Victor tilted his head: "But I have a hunch that it won't be long before this Devil Fruit, which is called the 'most ferocious', will reappear and make a stormy wave." ”
The topic of fruit hunting and dark fruits made the conversation a little dull. But soon, led by Victor, the discussion began again about the interesting islands on the Great Voyage.
Haoxue is worthy of being a traveler who has traveled to countless islands, and everyone is very happy to listen to the various styles of islands.
And just like that, 4 hours passed quickly.
Just as Perona and Mai Honghime were arguing about which flavor of ice cream was better, an announcement sounded on the train.
"Dear passengers, the 'Yellow Station' is coming, please bring your luggage and get ready to get off the train. Welcome to your next ride on the Smoking Tom. ”
'Food Town' Peggy, arrived.
