"This thing was made from the Soul Fruit?"

Playing with the soul bottle in his hand, Ace glanced at the mouth of the bottle thoughtfully.

There was no stopper, but the streamer inside didn't seem to be able to get out.

Hex didn't answer Ace's words again, he instead asked Ace, "What do you think is the essence of the Devil Fruit?" ”

"The product of the forces that nature rejects?"

Ace said his thoughts, although the Devil Fruit ability is only rejected by the sea, but if I have to say it, these powers are indeed a bit unnatural.

Hex nodded, then shook his head again, "You're right, but you're not right at all. The power of the Devil Fruit is rejected by Mother Nature because it violates the laws of the world. ”

"Let me ask you a little more, which of the three things do you think has anything to do with the ability of the Devil Fruit?"

Ace hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Soul, right?" ”

So far, Ace has studied Devil Fruits, and Ace feels that this thing is absolutely inseparable from the soul.

First of all, the awakening of the animal-based Devil Fruit is simpler than the other two systems, but there is a possibility that it will be controlled by the animal will of the Devil Fruit itself.

Similar to Impelton's Jailer Beasts, they are the product of the failed awakening of animal-based Devil Fruits.

Second, Vegapunk can make weapons that eat animal-based Devil Fruits, but he can't make objects that eat natural and superhuman fruits, most likely because these two types of Devil Fruits do not contain will.

In addition, after being dead for decades, only bones are left in the Devil's Triangle Sea Brooke can still use the Yellow Spring Fruit, which means that the fruit ability has nothing to do with the body and bloodline.

Hex nodded, "That's right, it's the soul!" When I was traveling the sea, I once flipped through an old book. It is said that more than 400 years ago, it was discovered that when someone desperately wanted to obtain some kind of unnatural power, or wanted to fulfill some special wish, a devil fruit would appear on the sea. ”

"After eating the Devil Fruit, because it carries a power that is not tolerated by the orthodox rules of the world, it will be rejected by the sea of Mother Nature, and it will no longer be able to enter the sea."

"After I got that book, I studied it for decades, and finally combined my soul fruit to study the final mystical product, the soul soul bottle!"

"As long as you use the soul bottle, you can deprive the soul fragments of the capable person and imprison them in it. When you want to use it, you can prepare a carrier for these souls, as long as you have enough time and preparation, you will be able to control all the Devil Fruit abilities in the world with the soul bottle of souls! ”

"At that time, even if it is a star in the sky, I am confident that I will be able to pluck it!"

"It's a pity, God is jealous of the talent, I want to deprive the soul of the person who has the ability to perform the fruit of surgery, so that the immortal surgery will no longer have any burden, and my limit has come."

Hex sighed, his eyes looking at Ace, his eyes full of unwillingness.

In his opinion, what world government, what Tianlong people, what five old stars, all are scum!

As long as he is given fifty years, he will definitely become an independent existence for eternity!

In the main hall, Ace did not interrupt Hex's memories, he knew that for Hex, who only had a remnant soul left, only the memories of the past could make him sure that he was a person.

"Is this thing really as amazing as you say?"

The bottle that can contain people's souls is very mysterious to Ace.

"Of course, this is the brainchild of my life!"

Hex sighed, more than four hundred years ago, although he was just an ordinary explorer, he was secretly a terrifying butcher who harvested the lives of the powerful.

Whether it's pirates, navy or world government agents, or even princes and nobles of various countries, as long as you are a Devil Fruit ability, as long as you enter the eyes of his Hex, it will be noticed and become Hex's collection one day in the future.

As for Hex's behavior, even the World Government is unaware of it, after all, if the World Government knows that Hex has this ability, it is impossible for CP to think that he has taken all of Hex's treasures after looting some treasures.

"Intercepting part of the soul and preserving it is a way to live forever."

Esmo rubbed his chin, when he was training with Qing Shui Mo in the past, he had heard Qing Shui Mo mention that someone was working on the project of quantum information transmission memory, and if that research was successful, it would be able to completely integrate one person's memory into another person's body.

Blood and body aside, this is an alternative to eternal life.

In this world, the conversion of memories does not require any superb scientific and technological research at all, whether it is the exchange of memories or surgical fruits, it is a more effective means.

The psychic exchange that can be developed by those who have the ability to perform the fruit of surgery is, in a sense, the immortality in the hearts of some people.

As long as their dominant consciousness is alive, they don't care whose body they use belongs to it.

"However, if you used the Soul Fruit to create this thing, does that mean that the Soul Fruit has an absolute control effect over this Soul Bottle?"

Ace played with the soul bottle, and he asked Hex nonchalantly.

Charlotte Lingling is dead, but the Soul Fruit still hasn't appeared, so does he have to deal with the matter of the Soul Fruit?

After hearing Ace's words, Hex snorted disdainfully, "Unless someone can develop the soul fruit to my level, there is only one possibility for the soul bottle to restrain the soul fruit." ”

Who is hex?

Four hundred years ago, the nameless overlord on the sea, although he "does not like to fight", but he left behind I don't know how much

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the limit, Hex might not need the surgical fruit, and the soul fruit alone could develop the ability of soul immortality, which was the super genius of four hundred years ago.

"This bottle should be your most precious treasure, but what about this island?"

Ace put the bottle away, and Hex's attitude towards taking it out was too crisp, which made Ace suspicious.

Hex didn't want to send him away like a CP, and leave behind more precious treasures.

For now, Ace wants to know where Hex Island's ability to navigate the deep sea and create a deep-sea vortex barrier comes from.

As if hearing Ace's inner thoughts, Hex just waved his hand, and a curtain of light appeared in front of Ace.

"A small toy made by imitating a video phone bug, don't worry."

Looking at Fang Che, who was instantly vigilant, Hex explained softly, Hex Island is currently navigating in the sea not by external forces, but by simple island forces.

This explanation only made Ace even more confused.

Sailing the ocean on islands?

"Have you ever heard of an ancient weapon, Aquaman?"

Hex deliberately made a nervous expression, as if he was teasing Ace's nerves.

Ace nodded noncommittally, "You should be talking about the mermaid princess." ”

Seeing that Ace actually knew Aquaman's secret, Hex immediately felt a little uncomfortable, which was more than he could pretend.

"Four hundred years ago, I was swimming in the deep sea with the mermaid princess, and we met a turtle and sea king together."

"Through the mermaid princess's ability to communicate with the mermaid princess, we know that the turtle sea king is about to sit down, and it is extremely happy that it can meet the mermaid princess before it dies."

"At my suggestion, I used the ability of the Soul Fruit to place part of the turtle's soul on its shell, and when it dies, it can stay in the shell and continue to swim in the sea."

"However, my condition is that the turtle be my island turtle······"

"Wait! Wait a minute! I have a lot of slots and I don't know how to spit up! ”

Ace didn't hesitate to interrupt Hex, who was about to talk about the story at length, this time he really had a lot of grooves that he wanted to vomit!

"No, you're a Devil Fruit capable person, and you dived into the deep sea to make friends with the mermaid princess, and you also befriended the turtle sea king?"

This alone made Ace feel that Hex was lying.

Devil Fruit ability, can enter water?

Looking at Ace, who was a little stunned, Hex shook his head unhurriedly, "Can your generation's soul fruit ability give souls to seawater?" ”

Ace thought about it for a while, BIGMOM can give the Candy Sea a soul, but it's still a question of whether that thing counts as a sea or not.

Looking at Ace's somewhat tangled expression, Hex raised his head proudly, "Air, clouds, oceans, whether tangible or intangible, I can possess their souls." As long as you put on an air suit or a sea suit, you can swim in the sea. ”

Hex enters the sea and is a method used to isolate seawater.

If today's Devil Fruit Abilities want to enter the sea without sinking, this is the only way.

Whitebeard's vibration can shake the sea around him.

Akainu's magma can scorch seawater.

The pheasant's ice can freeze seawater.

The yellow ape is more beautiful, he can use the refraction of water to keep himself from entering the water.

Almost all powerful Devil Fruit abilities have a way to keep themselves out of the sea, and Hex is no exception.

"Okay, you go on."

After the biggest groove was explained, Ace couldn't say anything more, so he could only let Hex continue.

To be honest, the mermaid princess four hundred years ago, he really wanted to see it.

This generation of mermaid princess Shirahoshi is a few years younger than Luffy, although Ace has never seen it, but he can imagine what a young child he is.

"Mermaid princess Anna, she is my best friend, and she died not long after the turtle died."

Hex sighed, it was clear that he still cared a lot about Anna, the mermaid princess.

"Before she died, she used the power of the Sea King to add the blessing of the Sea King to my island, and this blessing can make my Hex Island unhindered in the sea without any Sea Kings invading."

After so many years, Hex Island has wandered in the sea for an unknown number of places, but it has never been disturbed by the Sea Kings, which is the power of the Sea King's blessing.

And because of Aquaman's blessing, the old turtle's will can always remain sober, not a muddy nightmare controlled by Hex.

In addition, Aquaman's power is not only to call Aquaman, but she can also endow Aquaman with unusual special abilities.

The old turtle is endowed with the ability to control the current vortex, which is the tide whirlpool.

"So that's the case, that means it's impossible for me to take this island away?"

Ace nodded thoughtfully, if Hex wasn't lying to him, then this island really couldn't be taken away, after all, this was a "living" dead turtle.

It's about Aquaman, even Ace, you have to be careful.

Who knows if the Sea King gave the old turtle any more powerful power, maybe someone can inject all the power of the Sea King into the turtle for the sake of the lover.

In this case, moving the turtle is not the same as moving the sea king.

"Then, I'll go first, and I wish you a good time in your palace."

Ace waved his hand, he could be sure that Hex was not lying, which meant that the most precious treasure in Hex's treasure was already in his hands, and if he didn't leave now, he was going to stay and clean up the moss.

Hex waved his hand, "It's impossible to be happy, I'll die when you're gone." ”

"The Soul Bottle is not only the most precious treasure in my hands, but also the treasure that keeps my soul. As long as the soul bottle leaves this island, not only me, but also the soul of the island turtle will be wiped out as well. ”

"But don't worry, four hundred years have passed, in fact, the island turtle and I don't want to live for a long time."

Without waiting for Ace to say anything, Hex explained very casually that he and the Island Turtle were just soul fragments of the body, and that they were Hex and the Island Turtle was more than a thought between the two of them.

Four hundred years have passed, and the mermaid princess who guarded this dark island and the island turtle belief has also died, and they actually have no idea of protecting it for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that Hex couldn't let go of his life's hard work soul bottle, he would have sunk into the sea with Hex Island a long time ago.

Ace pursed his lips, "I'm not trying to persuade you, I just want to say that there is no way to protect even the two remnant souls, and this soul bottle doesn't seem to be as good as you introduced." ”

······

······

The whirlpool of passion sent Ace out of the deep sea, and looking back, all Ace saw was a huge island engulfed in darkness.

Faintly, he could see a large turtle squirting at him.

Maybe it was annoyed and angry, or maybe it was a punishment for Ace's contempt for his hard work, Hex sent Ace out without even listening to Ace's words, and then he sank into the deep sea with the island turtle non-stop.

Ace, who returned to the sea, looked at the small bottle in his hand, which was Hex's life's work, but it was also the treasure that Ace had in his mouth.
