Chapter 1645 Xuanwu (1)

Just as Deidara was talking to himself, Powell suddenly heard his words.

Powell's dull voice sounded immediately: "Dad still has two mythical beast devil fruits, you can also go and exchange them!"

Deidara shook his head slightly when he heard Powell's words.

"Forget it, forget it. The Bomb Fruit has been with me for more than thirty years. Most of my life's strength comes from it. If I really want to give it up, then won't I have to start all over again? I'm thirty-five years old now. Even if there is pure gold that can keep my body in the peak condition of a twenty-year-old, I really can't muster the interest to develop it again!"

Deidara stared at Powell and spoke slowly.

"Besides, I have a feeling that my Bomb Fruit will soon awaken. Once it awakens successfully, I will definitely be among the top powerhouses! By then, even the mythical beasts may not be my opponents!"

Deidara raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Upon hearing this, Powell nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Charlotte, who was standing by, heard what Deidara said and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The bomb fruit has awakened?"

He knew very well that once Deidara's Bomb Fruit awakened, he would indeed be among the top powerful people.

After all, Deidara's attack power, attack might, and attack range are all at the top level.

Its power is second only to those of the generals in the entire Rockefeller family.

Even the violent attack power is beyond imagination. Even some warriors who have just entered the admiral level, such as Zefa, would never dare to take on this terrifying force easily.

Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't help but cast his eyes on Robert and said thoughtfully: "It seems that your brother's Bomb Fruit is about to awaken, so what about your Gas Fruit? Once awakened, you will become the second awakened natural devil fruit in the family!"

Hearing what Charlotte said, Robert was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect that his brother Deidara's Bomb Fruit was about to awaken.

His gaze quickly turned to Deidara's back, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

As brothers and rivals, the relationship between Robert and Deidara has always been quite delicate.

There is a bond of kinship between them, as well as a contest of strength.

Over the years, their strength has been evenly matched, and it has been difficult to determine the winner in every match.

However, if the winner is really to be determined, it will probably have to be a life-and-death duel.

But this situation is something the Rockefeller family absolutely cannot tolerate, because infighting within the family would seriously damage the family's interests and reputation.

Therefore, even though Robert and Deidara were secretly competing with each other, they did not dare to really escalate the conflict to an uncontrollable point.

Therefore, the two can only work hard on their respective devil fruit abilities and constantly tap the potential of the fruits in order to gain an advantage in this silent contest.

Let’s see who can awaken the devil fruit first and then decide the winner.

However, unexpectedly, Deidara was actually half a step faster than him.

Robert couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Dad, you really think too highly of me. It's not that easy to awaken a natural devil fruit! I've been developing the Gas Fruit for nearly 30 years, but up to now, I still have no clue about awakening it!"

Robert said.

After listening to Robert's words, Charlotte nodded to show her understanding.

After all, the natural devil fruit is indeed the most difficult to awaken among the three types.

Although the entire Rockefeller family has five natural devil fruit ability users, except for Tesla's Thunder Fruit who has awakened, the other four - Robert's Gas Fruit, Sif's Snow Fruit, Philip's Swamp Fruit and Simon's Mercury Fruit, have not yet been successfully awakened, and it can even be said that there is no clue.

Among them, Robert and Sif are already on the verge of the admiral level, only one step away from a breakthrough.

However, this last step seemed to be an insurmountable gap, preventing them from ever reaching the realm of awakening the Devil Fruit.

As long as the devil fruit can awaken, it means that you can reach the top of this world and become the most powerful person.

However, it is regrettable that this last step, which seems to be so close at hand, has deterred countless people and has been stuck for many years.

Nowadays, on the vast ocean, nature-type devil fruits have become extremely rare, and their rarity even surpasses that of animal-type mythical beast devil fruits.

Not only that, there are very few cases of successful awakening of Nature-type Devil Fruits, which is far lower than the awakening rate of Animal-type and Mythical Beast-type Devil Fruits.

Looking at the world today, the frequency of appearance of Animal-type and Mythical Beast-type Devil Fruits is even higher than that of Natural-type Devil Fruits.

This situation was extremely rare in the past few hundred years, and it can be said to be unprecedented.

Charlotte also knew something about that history.

In the past, when Devil Fruit users emerged on the sea, the proportion of Nature-type Devil Fruit users was significantly higher than that of Animal-type and Mythical Beast-type Devil Fruit users.

However, times have changed and the situation is now completely reversed.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.

The animal-type mythical beast devil fruits owned by the Rockefeller family alone have occupied as much as half of the entire ocean.

Similarly, the users of nature-type devil fruits are no less impressive, occupying half of the ocean as well.

Charlotte's eyes slowly fell on Deidara and Powell, as if observing their interaction.

Deidara also stared straight at Powell, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Deidara asked, a hint of impatience in his voice.

Powell didn't seem to care about Deidara's attitude. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and then he said slowly: "Just attack me, hit my turtle back!"

Deidara was surprised when he heard this. He obviously did not expect Powell to make such a request.

He couldn't help but look at Powell suspiciously, wondering if this guy was kidding.

However, when he saw the hint of mischief in Powell's eyes, Deidara realized that Powell was not joking.

"It's that simple, just attack you?"

Deidara repeated Powell's words, his tone full of disbelief.

"Correct!"

Powell answered without hesitation.

After hearing this, Deidara hesitated.
