Chapter 12: Experiments with Devil Fruits

"Before we prepare to set sail, we must first make plans and take inventory."

After making the decision, everyone sat down together again.

"First of all, Rod, what are you going to do with bringing this guy back?"

Pointing at Bellamy who was unconscious in the corner, Nia asked.

"Although they previously claimed that they wanted to do something for Doflamingo, that was probably just their wishful thinking. I think the power of the Shichibukai would not look down on such a little gangster."

"Doflamingo?"

Luo's eyes fell on Bellamy.

Unexpectedly, just after he confessed his affairs to them and confessed his grudges with Doflamingo, he heard news about him right after.

"By the way, what is the King's Shichibukai that you have been talking about just now..."

Peijin suddenly raised his hand, and Xia Qi also nodded.

Ever since Boss Luo mentioned these things just now, they have been thinking about what the so-called King's Qiwuhai is.

But the atmosphere at that time was so good, and they had been immersed in the joy of going out to sea with them, until now they finally had the opportunity to ask this question.

"Really, don't you usually read newspapers? And you decided to go to sea together without even understanding the situation?"

"I'm sorry, we have spent all our time training, otherwise we would not be able to meet Boss Rhodes's requirements. Besides, as long as we follow Boss Rhodes and the others, there is nothing to worry about!"

"never mind···"

After taking a look at these two people, Nia sighed slightly, and then opened her mouth to educate them.

"The so-called Shichibukai Under the King refers to the great pirates who have obtained permission from the world government to plunder and stand on the top of the sea. Each of them possesses terrifying strength and power."

"So, our goal is to kill one of them and replace him?"

"Sounds pretty good too."

Looking at the two people discussing seriously, Nia sighed again.

"Let's talk about this guy."

"You all know about devil fruits, right?"

Without directly answering Nia's question, Rhodes suddenly mentioned Devil Fruit.

"It is rumored that after a Devil Fruit user dies, the devil in his body will be reborn in the sea, and the same Devil Fruit will be born again, so there will be Devil Fruit illustrated books in the world, because most of the fruits have been in the world before. appeared."

Nia looked at Rhodes in confusion, wondering what the other person's intention was for suddenly talking about this matter.

"However, this world is too vast. Trying to find the corresponding Devil Fruit again after the death of the ability user is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Ignoring Nia's look, Rhodes continued.

"So, what if we shrink this world? If this world is not so vast, wouldn't it be easier to find the Devil Fruit?"

"That's true. A smaller range will definitely make it easier to find things."

"But how can the world shrink?"

"It is of course impossible to shrink the world we live in, but we can try to shrink the world where ability users live, even to the size of a room!"

Rhodes looked at Luo with burning eyes.

"I see!"

Luo suddenly understood.

"You have already had this idea, so you asked me to develop this ability."

"That's right! Let's give it a try. - Pekin, hurry up and take out all the fruits. We should have a lot of reserves!"

"Coming!"

Soon, everyone formed a circle, and in the middle was Bellamy, who was still unconscious. Around him, there were a lot of various fruits.

"ROOM - isolation room!"

A blue light flashed in Luo's palm, and then a hemispherical blue space covered the open space, wrapping Bellamy and the surrounding fruits inside.

"It seems different from the usual ROOM."

"This is a move developed based on abilities - the isolation room. It can completely isolate the space in the ROOM from the outside world. Even the air cannot circulate. If you stay within the range of this move for a long time, you will even be injured due to lack of Suffocated by oxygen."

“ROOM—baton!”

Luo's fingers bent slightly, and the knife placed aside flew up, and then stabbed Bellamy's heart fiercely.

With Bellamy's death, everyone is staring closely at the pile of fruits in the space. If all goes well, the devil from the spring fruit in Bellamy's body will be reborn on one of the fruits.

Time passes minute by minute.

"It seems like it failed!"

After a while, Rhodes breathed out, not too disappointed.

Although he felt that this was a feasible method, he originally did not think that he could master the method of obtaining Devil Fruit so easily.

After all, even in the original plot, only Blackbeard seemed to have mastered the method of obtaining Devil Fruit power after eating the Dark Fruit.

"I seem to feel it."

After disabling his ability, Luo took a breather. When using his [Surgery Fruit], it would consume a lot of energy. Generally speaking, he would save energy by constantly opening and retracting space.

Maintaining a space like this for a long time, especially the newly developed [Isolation Room] that requires more physical effort, is a huge challenge to his physical fitness.

"Just now, I seemed to feel something passing through my [Isolation Room]. It seems that this idea is correct, but this ability needs further development."

"It's good that the idea is correct, but your physical strength still needs to be exercised. You are already weak after only maintaining the ability for more than ten minutes, Luo."

"I've said that using my ability requires a lot of physical strength."

"Don't talk about this. The use of fruit abilities requires physical strength. You are still too short-lived!"

"Asshole!"

"The devil fruit can be sold for at least 100 million Baileys on the black market. We have mastered a way to make a fortune!"

Nia looked at Luo with the eyes of the God of Wealth.

Although this attempt did not succeed, as long as the other party's ability is further improved, it will definitely succeed. At that time, they can obtain devil fruits stably.

One hundred million Baileys!

I can exchange it for a lot of dried fish...

"By the way, I haven't seen how much money Jason gave you before. If you are going to go out to sea, you need to buy a lot of things."

After snatching the cash box from Rhodes, Nia held her breath and opened the cash box with excitement.

"Fifty million Baileys!"

After counting, Nia cheered. With these as start-up funds, she could prepare a lot of things.

"But you are not going to use my boat to travel, are you?"

Suddenly remembering something, Nia turned her head and looked at Rhodes.

"I said it in advance, that was just a second-hand boat I bought, it can't withstand the wind and waves at all."

"Take a rest first, and we'll talk about the boat tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, we should have a great boat."
