From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 314: Double Fruits, Friends’ Devil Fruit Choices!

After a series of rigorous experiments, Dr. Kinos also conducted data observations using the special equipment brought by Bane.

In the end, Bane and others got a fairly gratifying result.

First of all, no matter whether it is the natural type, the superhuman type, or the animal type, in this world, one can eat two devil fruits, regardless of the variety.

But no matter whether it is the pirate who has already become a special ability user or the two newly captured thugs, after eating the third devil fruit, they will explode and die.

This caused Bane and others to lose some devil fruits, but fortunately they were all minor rubbish abilities and not a big problem.

Neither Bane nor Dr. Kinos could get an accurate answer as to why the body exploded and died. Dr. Kinos speculated that it was related to the strength of the soul, but there was no accurate experimental theory to support it.

But it doesn’t matter. Being able to become a dual-fruit ability user is enough for Bane.

His body had already felt "hungry" for the Soul-Soul Fruit when he had fought with Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, so he had already decided what devil fruit he wanted to eat, and it was enough to have this result.

Although the current results speculate that it is possible to become a dual fruit ability user without any risk.

But Zoro, Ichisho and Fubuki have no intention of becoming dual-fruit ability users.

Yixiao thinks that her abilities are enough for now, and it won't be too late to consider it if there is a need in the future. Fubuki herself has superpowers and the Sand-Sand Fruit, so she thinks that this is enough for the time being.

As for Zoro, he is not particularly inclined to become a user of special abilities. He ate the Thunder Fruit in order to catch up with Bane's progress so as not to fall behind. The strength of the Thunder Fruit is definitely enough. After being defeated by Mihawk, he no longer considered eating any other abilities.

Bane had no intention of persuading the three of them about their decision. Although they would go to seize the portal later and everyone should improve their strength as much as possible to avoid accidents, the ideas and will of their friends also needed to be respected.

Compared to the three of them, Nico Robin is more adventurous and she is very much looking forward to becoming a dual fruit ability user.

Nami, Weber, and Iin also intend to become users of special abilities, but they only plan to become users of a single ability first. If they have multiple abilities, it will obviously be more troublesome, and they also need to consider the focus, energy for development, etc. It is better to become users of a single fruit ability first, and then consider whether to continue when the development is almost complete or when they encounter a new bottleneck.

Teacher Zefa originally had no interest in becoming a person with special abilities, but since they were in Melview, Bane and the others had always talked to him about it, and now he has changed his mind.

At this point, Garp became hesitant, which was completely different from his usual impulsive and reckless character. After struggling for a long time, he finally decided to give it a try. After all, there were no side effects of being cursed. He was old, so it seemed like it might be a nice idea to be a special ability user for fun?

Looking at the various fancy devil fruits on the table, Waver stepped forward and said, "I'll go first. I don't like the animal-type or the natural-type, or even the mythical beast-type, and they may seem a bit useless, but I'll take this superhuman-type cause-effect fruit."

In fact, Weber himself is not very interested in becoming a user of special abilities, and his fighting style is quite reckless. He focuses on beating the opponent to death as long as he can't kill him. He is indeed more suitable for the power of cause and effect, which increases his combat effectiveness as the damage he can withstand increases.

"I think that if you pair it with an animal-type to further improve your physical fitness, it will be more suitable for the use of this ability. Are you really not considering it?" Bane suggested.

"What you said makes sense, but I'll wait until I actually experience it later. If there's a need, I'll eat another one. As for now, I'll just develop a single ability first, so as not to bite off more than I can chew." Weber responded with the same serious expression.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Bane didn't say anything more. Then he saw Weber take the fruit of cause and effect that he had snatched from Urouge and ate it in one bite without saying a word.

After Waver took the lead, Nami also stood up and said: "My strength is the weakest, and my physical fitness is not as good as you monsters. I thought about it for a long time before, and the first thing I considered was the natural ability."

At this point, Nami's expression was a little shy. "It's mainly because the nature type can be elementalized. In this way, if a sudden battle occurs, I can also have some self-protection power and try not to drag everyone down. But now, I want to become an animal type."

As she said this, Nami picked up the mythical beast Phoenix Fruit inherited from Marco on the table and said, "If no one else needs it, then I'll take it~"

Compared to the natural type, the survival strength of the Phoenix Fruit is obviously higher. At the same time, it can also further enhance Nami's physical fitness and raise her upper limit in this regard. As for the attack power, to be honest, the offensiveness of the Phoenix Fruit is not that outstanding. Even Marco's performance is just average.

But then again, Nami was not originally positioned as a fighter. Before in the world of pirates, she was a navigator. Now that she has left there, she still needs to find her specific role positioning on her own. But for the time being, she is still anchored on the role of 'Ban's life assistant' as before.

Therefore, the combat capability does not need to be too strong, as long as the survivability is guaranteed.

Nami did not eat the Phoenix directly like Weber did, but instead sat next to Bane again holding the devil fruit.

Ban didn't delay either, he took the Soul Soul Fruit off the table and said, "I've had my eyes on this thing for a long time, I won't be polite to you guys."

Bane and Robin are the only two people who want to become users of multiple Devil Fruit abilities, so when Robin saw Bane reaching out to take the Soul-Soul Fruit, he also raised his hand and hooked it. An arm grew out of the table, picked up one of the Devil Fruits, and threw it into Robin's arms.

"I accepted the ability of this animal-type mythical beast, the Nine-tailed Fox form. It is said that this ability can completely change one's appearance, which is very beneficial for stealth, intelligence gathering, eavesdropping, etc. It is just right for me and also suitable for my Flower-Flower Fruit." Robin said with a smile.

Bane watched Robin playing with the Nine-tailed Fox Fruit and swallowed involuntarily. The Hana-Han Fruit itself was very "combat-powerful", and if it was paired with a Nine-tailed Fox, wouldn't it be extremely powerful?

For a moment, Bane even felt a dull pain in his waist. From Robin's words, her current position in this small team is intelligence gathering. She had experience in this area when she was in Baroque Works. Now that Baroque Works has been reorganized with Golden City and Tezoro has become the Minister of Finance, she is no longer needed to deal with finances, so she plans to focus on intelligence.

Ian seemed to have considered the ability she wanted. After a moment, she stood up and took the Parahuman Shadow Fruit that originally belonged to Moria from the table. Then she said, "Young Master has always said that this ability has been wasted too much by Moria. It has strong development potential and is an extremely powerful devil fruit. Since then, I have been very interested in it and have also imagined many development plans in my mind, so... I will take it."

Garp nodded after hearing this and said, "Indeed, if the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is developed and utilized well, it is a very good ability. It's a pity that Moria has wasted his time and this ability. Ein, do your best!"

After Ian took the Shadow Fruit, he immediately sat next to Bane. When no one was paying attention, he secretly glanced at Bane, then quickly retracted his gaze with a slight smile on his lips.

"With this ability, I will be able to better fulfill my duties as the shadow behind the young master," Ian thought to himself.

After Ian confirmed his ability, Dr. Kinos calmly waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be a person with special abilities. You don't have to consider me. I don't need to fight. I'm just providing logistical support. Having a genius brain like mine is enough."

At this point, the distribution of devil fruits among Bane's friends has been completed.

Iin became the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Nami is the Phoenix, Robin is going to become the dual user of the Flower-Flower Fruit and the Nine-Tailed Fox, Waver is the power of cause and effect, Fubuki, Zoro, and Issho have no plans to continue, and Genos is not going to be a user.

The only ones left were Garp and Zephyr.

"Originally, I didn't plan to become a person with special abilities, but considering the current situation, I have to stay in the empire and escort you on your journey. The empire is indeed extremely dangerous. There are many powerful people and many strange powers from various worlds. With my strength, I'm afraid it's not enough. In this case, then..." Zefa said as he stood up and reached out to pick up the Tremor Fruit on the table, which was ignored by everyone but possessed extremely strong power.

"Newgate's ability?" Cap sighed a little when he saw this.

"Paradox-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I think it is powerful enough even in this world. This is also the ability that Bane recommended me to take. I won't say anything pretentious. This fruit belongs to me." Zephyr weighed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in his hand, grinned, and said with a smile.

Once the gate is taken, Bane and others will definitely try to go to the world behind the gate, but the Empire cannot just sit there and do nothing. A lot of preliminary work needs to be arranged by someone.

Mr. Zephyr and Mr. Garp came with this responsibility.

To rule this world, one does need enough strength. Having the Tremor-Tremor Fruit can indeed make people feel more at ease.

"Mr. Garp, what exactly do you want to eat? Don't you consider Kaido's Blue Dragon? That's a top-level mythical beast species." Bane looked at the last Garp and couldn't help but teased.

"No, I haven't considered the animal system at all. No, no, no, that's not right. If it's the mythical beast species of the Dog-Dog Fruit, I might be interested in it," said Garp, touching the dog-head hat on his head.

Come to think of it, this guy really has a preference for 'dogs'.

Robin listened to this, smiled and raised the nine-tailed fox in his hand and said, "Do you want this? Although it is a fox, strictly speaking, it is a mythical beast species under the Dog-in-Dog Fruit~"

"Forget it, I don't like foxes." Garp waved his hand with a look of disgust.

"I should have let you eat the teddy fruit just now." Bane couldn't help but complain.

Garp was too lazy to pay attention to Bane. He reached out his hand and hesitated for a moment on the two devil fruits. The two devil fruits were Shiki's Float-Float Fruit and Bondi Wald's Momo Fruit.

There is no need to say much about the Float-Float Fruit. The ability of the Momo Fruit is multiplied, and the effect is quite terrifying. It can affect strength, speed, volume and other aspects.

If Garp eats this fruit and then launches a Galaxy Impact, it would be a king bomb. Bane feels terrified just thinking about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Garp held down the Momo Fruit and said, "Let's take this."

"It's so terrifying." Bane took a breath and couldn't help but say, as if he saw the rising of the Dou Di.

"Don't think too much. According to the research of the Momo Fruit by the government of the previous world, there is a limit to multiplication. Bondi Wald can be developed to a hundred times, but its actual strength is just like that. As for me, I'd be thankful if I could develop it to fifty times. It's not impossible that it could get stuck at ten times," said Garp carelessly.

Before Bondi Wald, there was a user of the Momo Fruit who was captured by the World Government. Later, Wald was captured and frozen in Impelton for more than 30 years. The World Government did a lot of research on him. After all, the Momo Fruit is indeed beyond the standard.

Based on a series of research and assumptions, the World Government finally believed that the Momo Fruit should have a limit, and this development limit is matched with the individual ability user. The larger the base number, the higher it goes, and the more difficult it is. Just because Wald can develop it to a hundred times, it doesn't mean that Garp can too. After all, Garp's base number is too large. In terms of expressiveness, even if Wald is developed to a hundred times, it is still not as terrifying as Garp not eating the fruit.

"Ten times is already terrifying enough." Bane couldn't help but complain, "Besides, people should have dreams. Don't let these previous studies constrain your thinking. It's just a 'should' but not a 'certainty'. Don't set limits for yourself. We have come to another world. Who knows, you may be able to break through a hundred times?"

"Hmm?" Karp was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That makes sense, what you said makes sense!"

Zephyr, who was watching this scene, said with a smile, "Now that I have the blessing of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and Garp has obtained the power of the Momo Fruit, we two can take charge of this world and be responsible for the preliminary work of the Dark Gate project. We will have a little more confidence."
