Chapter 104 A sudden turn of events

After taking a casual glance, Xia Jieren said nonchalantly, "Isn't this the planting area in the base? What's so good about it?"

"Please take a closer look."

Xia Jieren reluctantly shifted his gaze again, and Kerrigan cooperated by enlarging the contents on the light screen.

The camera quickly zoomed in on a fruit tree.

At this time, the fruit tree is full of fruits, and the branches are full of red apples.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a fruit on it that is different from the others and stands out from the crowd on the apple tree.

This fruit is an irregular oval shape, very similar to a cantaloupe, and is covered with mysterious spiral patterns.

When he saw it, Xia Jieren rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then he suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

"This is..." Xia Jieren just said this when he suddenly lost his balance and fell off the sofa.

He squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the oncoming pain.

After a moment, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the mind network space awkwardly.

Xia Jieren stood up as if nothing had happened, his eyes fixed on the devil fruit on the screen.

“Ha...hahaha......” Xia Jieren laughed wildly.

After being happy, he left the heart network, put on his shoes, went downstairs, and ran towards the planting area impatiently.

Facts have proved that Xia Jieren's efforts during this period have not been in vain. Running at full speed, it took him only twenty seconds to reach the planting area. After arriving, he was at ease, without blushing or panting.

Xia Jieren was not in the mood to appreciate the fruitful orchard.

Following Kerrigan's instructions, he quickly came to the fruit tree.

Standing under the tree, looking at the devil fruit so close to him, Xia Jieren's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.

After climbing up the fruit tree in a few steps, Xia Jieren carefully picked the devil fruit, then jumped down from the tree and landed gracefully.

"Hehehe!" Holding the devil fruit, Xia Jieren had a silly smile on his face.

Back in the bedroom, Xia Jieren sat at the desk, his chin resting on his hands, staring at the devil fruit on the table with a fascinated look.

Kerrigan couldn't bear to watch any longer and reminded him silently, "Master, you've been watching for half an hour. Aren't you satisfied?"

Xia Jieren was interrupted and said with some dissatisfaction: "What do you know? This is a devil fruit. Devil fruit?"

"This is the dream of countless people on Blue Star. What's wrong with me watching it for a while longer?"

Kerrigan pouted in dissatisfaction.

Devil Fruits are indeed precious!

In One Piece, it is called the secret treasure of the sea, and its market value is at least 50 million berries. It is the incarnation of the devil of the sea. After eating it, you will gain different abilities, but as a price, the eater will be rejected by the sea and become a landlubber. The devil fruit is also known as the "incarnation of the devil of the sea". The most expensive is the surgery fruit, which is worth billion berries.

Devil Fruit abilities are divided into three categories: superhuman, animal (including two rare mythical beast types and ancient types), and natural (the strongest type of Devil Fruit). Devil Fruit abilities will not be repeated. In addition, when the original fruit owner dies, such fruits will continue to appear.

After eating the Devil Fruit, while gaining great power, there will also be serious side effects. The user cannot swim and is afraid of sea water, seastone, and armed color domineering.

In addition, ability users have different weaknesses due to their different abilities, for example, sand cannot float when it touches liquid, lightning is ineffective against rubber, candles are not afraid of poison and lava embers and flames, etc. This can have a huge impact on the battle of ability users. Some ability users will lose the effectiveness of their abilities originally used on other people and objects when they faint.

All Devil Fruits are unique. There are no fruits with the same power in the "same period", only fruits with similar powers (such as the "Flame-Flame Fruit" and the "Hot-Hot Fruit"). Unless the power user dies, the Devil Fruit he has eaten will reappear. When the power user uses his power, his body, clothing and accessories will change along with it.

A lot of information about devil fruits flashed quickly in Xia Jieren's mind, and then he began to wonder what kind of fruit he had.

"I don't know if it's a devil fruit that appeared in the original work, or a devil fruit that has never appeared."

Unfortunately, he had never seen this devil fruit in the anime.

"Oda is so unprofessional that he didn't even draw the Devil Fruits that have appeared before for everyone to see." Xia Jieren complained in his heart.

Staring at the devil fruit in front of him, Xia Jieren suddenly asked: "Kerrigan, do you know how these devil fruits appear?"

"I know. This is the image captured by the scout." After saying that, Kerrigan projected the image onto Xia Jieren's retina.

In the video, a fruit tree full of fruits is rustling with leaves rubbing against each other in the breeze.

However, the round, bright red apples were not affected and hung firmly on the branches.

Suddenly, on a branch in the middle of the tree, an apple began to grow bigger.

When it reached the size of a cantaloupe, it stopped growing.

Afterwards, the color of the fruit changed. Starting from the stalk, the entire fruit changed from red to purple, which symbolizes nobility.

Finally, mysterious spiral patterns began to emerge out of thin air.

After all the changes are completed, a devil fruit is born.

Xia Jieren was surprised and asked Kerrigan: "Can you see anything?"

Kerrigan nodded, then shook her head. "There is no doubt that a force has affected the apple's genes, causing it to change its shape, color, and taste. Other than that, there is nothing to tell."

"However, based on the master's understanding of devil fruits, it can be inferred that when a person takes the first bite of a devil fruit, this unknown power will enter the human body along with the fruit pulp."

"When the pulp is digested by a person, this power will most likely directly transform the person's soul and body, thus giving them magical abilities."

After hearing Kerrigan's explanation, Xia Jieren nodded in agreement.

He thought for a moment and slowly said, "Before coming to this world, I read the latest chapters of One Piece manga."

"Among them, Vegapunk tells the origin of the devil fruit."

"Vegapunk said that devil fruits are the possibility of human evolution that humans expect, and this 'unnatural existence' is hated by the 'mother of nature', the sea, so it has to bear the punishment. 'People with special abilities' are actually people imagined by someone, and they are the many people living in another dimension."

"From Vegapunk's answer, it can be seen that the Devil Fruit originated from humans' expectation for evolution, or desire. Simply put, some people hoped that humans would be able to evolve the ability to control fire in the future, so the Flame-Flame Fruit was created. Some people hoped that humans would be able to evolve the ability to control ice in the future, so the Ice Fruit was created."
