Chapter 1625 Good and Evil Values
At this moment, Lucci was surprisingly calm, even with a hint of detached indifference.
He noticed this subtle change in his mindset, but for the time being, he did not attribute it to the fruit of Anubis, that subtle divine influence.
The new power is reshaping the way he perceives the world and even influencing some of his inner principles.
The white aura rising from Luffy's body is the brightest, like a blazing, pure flame, full of vitality, making him stand out from the crowd of villains around him, almost making him look like a saint.
In contrast, the black aura surrounding him was extremely thin, almost negligible. Luffy's white aura far outweighed the black aura, and was dazzlingly pure.
Others are quite different.
The black aura surrounding Kidd was like viscous oil, deeply enveloping him, especially in the depths of his severed arm and eyes, where the black aura almost solidified into tangible malice.
Capone Becky's enormous head emitted an even more terrifyingly dense black aura, almost solidifying into an invisible crown, a symbol of power.
Hawkins was surrounded by a constantly shifting gray mist, with black and white energies intertwined and confused within it, as if he himself were a walking, unpredictable entity.
Lucci's pupils contracted slightly when he saw Kaku.
Kaku's white aura had noticeably dimmed and weakened, and was even entwined with several ominous, parasitic gray-black threads that were constantly eroding and draining his already meager life force.
This was clearly the outward manifestation of the price he paid for his twenty-five years of lifespan, and his dark aura had increased considerably due to the predatory nature brought about by the Mosasaurus Fruit.
A quick glance revealed that among the vast majority of people present, the evil (black) clearly outweighed the righteous (white).
It's fair to say that, apart from that ridiculously innocent straw hat boy, there isn't a single good person here in the traditional sense.
Finally, Lu Qi's gaze fell upon the unfathomable shopkeeper, and this glance sent a jolt through him.
The shop owner had absolutely no trace of righteousness about him!
Instead, there was an endless, malevolent aura that seemed capable of devouring all light and hope. This black aura was not static, but rather spread outwards like a living thing, almost filling every inch of space.
Pure evil to the extreme; compared to him, the dark aura emanating from Capone Bege and Kid is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
"What exactly is this power?"
What do these gases represent?
This force brought a new perspective, allowing Lucci to see another side of the world, but also bringing more questions.
"Anubis is a very unusual demon."
The shop owner began by telling an ancient story: "It occasionally judges the souls of the dead who are about to enter the River Styx, and likes to criticize them according to its own set of standards."
【Heart Weighing】, this is one of the core abilities of the Mythical Zoan type Anubis form.
Of course, the user doesn't actually need to take out their own or their enemy's heart and weigh it on a scale; this is an evolution of ability.
Lucky can be used as the benchmark of the scale, with your own evil value (the intensity of dark energy accumulated from sins, killings, and inner darkness) as the standard weight.
When Lucci faces an enemy, his ability automatically and invisibly weighs the opponent's good and evil values (especially evil values) according to Lucci's standards.
“Once the other party’s evil value exceeds yours,” the shopkeeper’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Lucci's power, including but not limited to physical strength, speed, defense, recovery ability, and even his use of the power of the underworld, will be multiplied by a correspondingly large amount depending on the extent of the excess!"
This is a powerful conceptual ability with no theoretical upper limit or degree of amplification. It is independent of human will or common sense, and only follows the underlying rules of judgment and the imbalance between good and evil.
"!!!"
After hearing the shop owner's explanation, everyone showed expressions of utter shock, and even a hint of fear.
Fight evil with evil!
Be strong when you are strong!
The concept of unlimited growth!
what does this mean?
This means that when Lucci faces powerful enemies who have committed heinous crimes and whose strength far exceeds his current level, he can actually gain a huge power boost and take on challenges that are beyond his current level!
The more vicious the opponent, the more terrifying the boost Lucci might receive.
“Then it is truly a perfect fruit,” Kaku blurted out excitedly, instantly realizing the terrifying strategic value of this ability.
Which of those pirates, those famous and renowned pirates on the sea, hasn't had blood on their hands and been utterly wicked?
They were practically born to beat up those great pirates!
Luffy tilted his head, seemingly not quite understanding the complicated explanations, but upon hearing "power multiplication," he became excited and looked at Lucci with eager anticipation.
The other pirates, including Kid, Capone Bege, Hawkins, and even Eren and his sister, did not look too good, their eyes were gloomy.
They all harbored some resentment: How could the shop owner have found such a perverted fruit that specifically restrains evil people for a World Government agent?
Isn't this just giving the World Government a powerful lackey with unlimited potential who specializes in killing pirates?
In terms of characteristics and potential, the Anubis Fruit has clearly surpassed the Hundred-Armed Giant Fruit, which still requires training to acquire stronger abilities.
The former is entirely a rule-based ability, but it has an obvious drawback: if Lucci really chooses this fruit, he will not receive any bonuses when fighting those who are kind-hearted.
After digesting this astonishing information, Lucci's shock gradually subsided, replaced by a deep sense of contemplation.
He keenly sensed that the power of this Anubis fruit was far greater than what the shopkeeper had just described.
Lucci was a genius after all, and he had already started imagining in his mind whether the Anubis Fruit inside him might punish its host if he ever attacked a good person.
The scales have two sides; while you gain benefits, you also have to bear the drawbacks. Letting go of good people who oppose the World Government means breaking with the World Government. Lucci has the skin of a government agent, so if he really wants to eat, he probably won't be able to wear it for long.
Every Celestial Dragon is utterly wicked; it's already merciful of Lucci not to kill these beasts. How could Lucci possibly work for them again, especially when they're being paid so little?
He looked up at the shopkeeper and asked his question: "I feel that this fruit should have other abilities. Is it just my imagination?"
"I'm in this place now, or my powers are still limited and I can't fully unleash them because I've just gained them?"
He stared at the shopkeeper, waiting for a deeper answer. The Anubis Devil Fruit definitely had more than one power. Now that things had come to this point, he should probably just ask the shopkeeper directly.
