Listened to the words of the second master.

The butler was shocked.

That's right, if it was really a first-class civilization, how could it be possible to destroy all the combined fleets of those low-star pirates in orbit eight hundred years ago?

This is only possible with a civilization of level 4 or above.

And considering that it was a team led by the six-star pirates that time, then it should be a fifth-level civilization to do it.

Apparently...

This strange civilization, although it is only a first-level civilization in terms of conventional technology, has at least the combat power of a fifth- or sixth-level civilization.

The Cosmic Pirates Alliance also had to be cautious.

But actually...

At the moment, none of them know that the Cosmic Pirate Alliance...

Still not cautious enough!

------

Pirate World.

Directly under the coalition government, the Central Academy of Sciences.

Inside a laboratory.

Vegapunk is returning to his old business, delving into the bloodline factor.

And just then, Sean pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lao Bei, you just said that there was a discovery, what was the discovery?"

"This is it!"

Hearing Sean's voice, Vegapunk didn't raise his head, and while lowering his head to continue his research, he pointed to the big screen on the side with his right hand and said.

Sean looked in the direction, and then...

My face is black!

On that big screen, complex formulas were being displayed one after another, and there were even many symbols in it that he didn't even recognize.

Perhaps, this is the answer of Vegapunk.

But the question is...

I really can't read it!

"Lao Bei, explain?"

"Huh? Don't you understand?"

"If you can see it, it's a problem, okay..."

Sean complained directly.

In this world, if you recruit 10,000 people at random, there may not be a single person who can understand it.

"Well, I've written it simple enough that I thought you could read it, and sure enough..."

"It's the most troublesome thing to talk to the stupid!"

Sean's face darkened.

I wanted to refute something, but I held back.

Well, you're stupid!

Bear with it!

"In the past, I just studied the transmission conditions of the Devil Fruit, and discovered the existence of the bloodline factor."

"The energy of the Devil Fruit enters the human body in the form of a bloodline factor, and it stands to reason that the energy is conserved, and this Devil Fruit energy will naturally decrease and decrease under the condition that the host continues to use its ability, until it is finally exhausted and disappears."

"But actually, for hundreds of years, I haven't heard of anyone who has lost their abilities due to excessive depletion of Devil Fruit powers."

"So I wondered if there was something wrong with my research and speculation."

"So this time, I specifically studied the way the bloodline factor works, and finally made a new discovery."

Sean pricked up his ears.

He is very concerned about this topic.

Perhaps, this is the real reason why the Cosmic Pirates want to snatch the Devil Fruit.

And soon, Vegapunk also gave this answer!

"This time, I discovered..."

"After the Devil Fruit is eaten, it is not that the energy in it is transmitted through the bloodline factor and finally stored in the human body, but the truth is..."

"The Devil Fruit doesn't transmit any energy at all, but transforms the essence of the human body!"

"That's right, all the people who eat the Devil Fruit are, in essence, not the same race as us!"

"Because your body, from beginning to end, inside and out, has been completely transformed!"

"Even... Last time you said that

What's the thing called? Ah, yes! Genes!"

"Well, even the genes have been completely changed!"

"The most important thing is that the modified body and gene locks have all been opened!"

"Theoretically, after all the genetic locks are opened, there is no upper limit to the body!"

"On the contrary, it is the ability of the Devil Fruit that now gives me a feeling of additional acquisition, and the physical transformation..."

"It's the main role of the Devil Fruit!"

Well?

The body has no upper limit?

What this means, Sean is clear.

According to records, even though there were a large number of king-level pinnacles eight hundred years ago, the emperor-level was still called the legendary realm.

Because...

From not breaking through to the king level.

And Sean once guessed that the king level would be the upper limit of the pirate world?

Now when I heard Vegapunk say this, I suddenly woke up a little.

Just like Karp and Reilly had asked themselves if they had ever felt after reaching the royal level, a feeling that there was a huge obstacle ahead, and once they reached that barrier, they couldn't continue to move forward.

Good guy, Sean said that he didn't follow the system of the pirate world at all, and he never became a king.

How can we know?

But later, it is true that Sean also asked other people, such as Akainu and other strong people who have just been promoted to the king level.

They said they didn't feel that way.

Right now...

Sean understood.

All the people who say that there is an obstacle not far away, and once they arrive, they can't move forward again, this weird feeling is not a Devil Fruit ability.

And those who say they've never felt this way...

The reverse is all Devil Fruit ability.

As Vegapunk said, the upper limit of the Devil Fruit ability has been completely removed.

If my previous inference was correct, the upper limit of the people in the pirate world is the peak of the king level, then Reilly, or Karp and the others, are already about to reach this upper limit.

And the reason why there is a sense of déjà vu that they are about to reach the obstacle is because they are not yet the peak combat power of the king level, otherwise...

Otherwise, it's not that you feel like there's an obstacle in front of you and you're about to arrive, but...

The obstacle was in front of me, and I couldn't move forward a single step.

As for the rest, the most typical is Gulbaksh.

This guy was also the first to reach the middle of the king level, and even after that battle, he broke through again in one fell swoop and became the late king level.

It is only one step away from that possible upper limit.

It stands to reason that he should feel more strongly than Reilly or Karp.

But the question is...

Gulbaksh said he didn't feel anything.

This is also in line with what Vegapunk said.

Because...

Gulbaksh is a Devil Fruit Ability!

So, for him, the so-called ceiling, the so-called barrier...

It simply doesn't exist!

All...

It all seems to make sense.

If the Devil Fruit really has such an ability, then it's no wonder that the Cosmic Pirates Alliance will be so aggressive, killing and looting!

But as long as you have yourself in...

No matter how strong this cosmic pirate alliance is, you have to kneel when you come here!

------

Two days later.

The coalition government issued a new order.

Devil Fruit Recovery Order Worldwide!

As an important item to be used in the future against the Cosmic Heize Alliance, from today onwards, private individuals are no longer allowed to possess it, and once a Devil Fruit is found, it must immediately contact the coalition government.

And as compensation, every evil

The discovery of the magic fruit can be exchanged for 100 million Bailey on the side of the federal government.

But if you keep it privately, or eat it privately, it is a crime.

The kind that starts directly in ten years, if the plot is bad, even...

The death penalty can also be imposed!
