Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

And what will be the reason for this detention?

After thinking for a moment, Huang Hai turned and asked, "Do you know why he was imprisoned? He should be a pirate hunter, not a pirate, right?"

"As for the pirate hunter group, they should clearly lean more towards the Navy. Shouldn't they be more inclined to cooperate?"

"That's not quite clear."

Koby adjusted his glasses and pondered, "What I'd heard before was that he was like some kind of bloodthirsty wild dog, drifting around the sea all day chasing wanted criminals, so everyone said he was a devil in human skin..."

"If I had to choose, I definitely wouldn't consider recruiting them as a partner..."

"So someone with your personality can't be a pirate..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Hai smiled.

"No matter what kind of image someone has, I will only make a decision after I have seen them with my own eyes."

“If I do whatever people say, then what’s the point of going to sea? I might as well just take a boat back… What do you think?”

Uh……

"makes sense."

Koby said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Although I don't understand some of it, I hope you can do what you want to do."

"Okay, let's stop here for now..."

Seeing the other party's appearance, Huang Hai shook his head, slowly got up, glanced at the unchanged sea view, and turned to walk towards the second deck.

"You're familiar with the waters around here, so the rest of the voyage will be up to you. Just call me if anything happens, and if you get hungry, go to the kitchen and get something to eat. Anyway, I'm going to be doing some training for now, so let me know when we arrive at our destination..."

"Ok."

Seeing this, Koby stayed where he was for a while, then went to the helm to continue adjusting the course.

After all, this was what I did on the Abida ship before, so I'm quite familiar with it now.

the other side.

Second deck.

Having rested sufficiently and feeling refreshed, Huang Hai casually sat on the deck, calmly studying his own abilities, which were crucial to his future strength.

"First is the assimilation ability [Talent Absorption]. This ability was assimilated from the system and is considered my most important cheat code. However, its drawback is that it cannot be used actively; it is more like a passive skill..."

"The talents I've acquired so far are [Left-Handed Skill], [Precision], [Observation Haki], and [Bear Strength]. Three of these are very practical, and I've personally experienced them. The remaining one is the unawakened [Observation Haki]..."

"I wonder if it's because Koby hasn't awakened his Observation Haki that the Observation Haki he absorbed is just a illusory seed of his mind."

"So the solution is simply to either absorb Observation Haki from others and then awaken it by combining it with other forms? Or try to train yourself to awaken it?"

The first method is too random, and he cannot accurately predict what kind of talent will be absorbed by the talent absorption method.

The second method…

Images of Rayleigh teaching Luffy flashed through Huang Hai's mind, but what troubled him was that these memories were too blurry, and he had long forgotten what Rayleigh had said.

However, the scene of Luffy fighting a group of giant beasts with his eyes closed still had some impact.

Ultimately, it comes down to training one's sixth sense to its limits, thereby developing a keen sense of Observation Haki...

"However, there aren't enough conditions at this stage to carry out the corresponding training..."

After pondering for a moment, Huang Hai shook his head slightly and put it aside for now. After all, Luffy himself has the potential to awaken Observation Haki, and with Koby's talent, he will awaken it sooner or later, so there is no need to rush it.

"So, before we have the [Naval Six Powers] and Haki training methods, the only thing we can do is develop the [Bounce-Bounce Fruit]."

"If we divide the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits into five different systems: Superpowers, Superhumans, Creation Fruits, Localized Abilities, and Domination Fruits..."

"So the [Bounce-Bounce Fruit] should be a combination of [superpower] and [superhuman], although the transparent ripples cannot leave the body too far at this stage, it still possesses the [superpower] of elasticity and resilience..."

"And the 'bouncy physique' that has previously deflected bullets can also be described as a 'superhuman'..."

"As for the 'Domination' type, those are abilities that can manipulate specific substances. For example, the 'Gold-Gold Fruit' that appeared in the movie allows the user to control gold, which falls under the 'Domination' category..."

"As for [localized superpowers], these are abilities gained from parts of the body. For example, Kuma's [Paw-Paw Fruit] allows him to change the shape of his palms into paw-like paws, thereby enabling him to use all sorts of incredible abilities."

"The last category, [Creation], is the ability to create non-natural substances out of thin air, such as cookies and candies. These are not only edible but also possess the unique effects of the substance..."

Thinking about this, Huang Hai was surprised to find that the "Bounce-Bounce Fruit," which possesses both the characteristics of a "superhuman" and a "superpower," was actually quite a good ability.

Compared to the Gum-Gum Fruit, which only possesses the "superhuman" characteristic in the original work, the Bounce-Bounce Fruit clearly has a significant advantage.

While it's unknown whether the awakened form of the fruit can rival the seemingly protagonist-like Nika Fruit, its current practicality is far superior...

Chapter Sixteen: Characteristics!

"In short, the ability or rule I currently possess can be summarized in one word: 'flick'..."

As Huang Hai determined the essence and core of his abilities, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, concepts related to bullets flashed through my mind.

Then, some concepts that were impossible to achieve at this stage were eliminated first, and finally the focus was on three figures.

Original Luffy, Bellamy, and Bartholomew Kuma!

In the original One Piece manga, these three individuals possess the [Gum-Gum Fruit], [Spring-Spring Fruit], and [Paw-Paw Fruit], respectively.

These are also three Devil Fruits with similar elasticity that appeared in One Piece.

"First up is the weakest, Bellamy..."

Huang Hai tried his best to recall the opponent's Devil Fruit abilities, and analyzed them one by one with a thoughtful expression.

"The Spring-Spring Fruit clearly allows one to transform any part of their body into a spring, which, within the Paramecia category, should fall under the Paramecia-type ability category..."

"The effect is quite direct. If you turn your limbs into 'springs,' you can extend them, similar to Luffy's 'Gum-Gum Fruit,' but there's a limit to how far they can extend..."

"The attack method is that the more kinetic energy stored in the body, the stronger the attack. The enormous kinetic energy generated after the spring is compressed under high pressure..."

"In short, the rapid oscillation of the spring accumulates and releases kinetic energy, thereby causing a corresponding degree of damage."

"It's a Devil Fruit ability that's neither the best nor the worst. If developed properly, it could potentially make someone a strong individual. It's just that Bellamy doesn't have the brains for that..."

After thinking it over, Huang Hai shook his head.

The compression burst characteristics of the spring are similar to those he used before, so we can learn from its effect of accumulating kinetic energy. As for the others, let's forget about them.

He wouldn't do something like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.

"Next up is the Gum-Gum Fruit..."

Huang Hai had a deep impression of this, after all, it was Luffy's main ability, so it was impossible not to remember it.

"Let's exclude the awakened [Nika Sun God] form for now. From the early stages, it seems Luffy can extend and bounce any part of his body, including internal organs, skin, and teeth, according to his will..."

"This allows seemingly ordinary strikes to have greater power, and because his body has become rubber, he doesn't have to worry about the limbs he throws being injured by the reaction force."

"Most importantly, his rubber body possesses exceptional elasticity and extensibility, and the distance it can stretch is directly proportional to his strength..."

"The weaknesses lie in sharper attacks, such as slashing, cutting, high heat, and low temperature attacks..."

From this perspective…

Huang Hai pondered, "Although my bouncy physique is similar to Luffy's rubber body, it's clearly inferior in terms of stretching and extending..."

Thinking about it, Huang Hai unconsciously tugged at the skin on his hand.

The elastic skin was stretched to about a meter long under his forceful pulling, and then immediately bounced back when he let go.

"It possesses elasticity, but cannot be extended at will; moreover, although bouncy and rubbery bodies are similar, they are completely different concepts..."

"This also means that extended skills like Luffy's Gum-Gum Stick, Gum-Gum Crossbow, Gum-Gum Gun, Gum-Gum Machine Gun, Gum-Gum Bullets, Gum-Gum Rockets, and Gum-Gum Double Guns from the original work cannot be borrowed..."

"However... we might try to learn from skills that allow for flexibility in physical abilities, such as second, third, and fourth gear."

"For example, when using Gear Second, I remember Luffy used his legs as pumps to accelerate blood flow in his veins, causing steam to rise from his body and his skin to turn red..."

"However, it allows you to fire air bullets for attacks, and your speed can be increased several times in this state. If an ordinary person were to use this move, it would cause their blood vessels to burst and die... Even if Luffy uses it, he would be extremely tired, and it would easily shorten his lifespan..."

"There are also third and fourth gears, which are based on similar principles. They all utilize the body's elasticity to create various amplification states..."

"It's just that Luffy's aesthetic sense is too ugly; even if he were to use it, none of the forms would be worth looking forward to..."

Huang Hai has always politely declined to comment on this.

Even if it can be developed in the future, he will not make it into those ugly forms.

Well……

"The energy storage, rotation, and compression of the Spring-Spring Fruit..."

"The enhancement of physical functions from the [Gum-Gum Fruit]..."

Having identified the areas where both could be learned from, Huang Hai shifted his focus and concentrated on the bear's [Paw-Paw Fruit].

If we were to rank the most mind-blowing and amazing Devil Fruits in the world of One Piece, then the Paw-Paw Fruit developed by Kuma would definitely be among the top.

It's a pity that the other party didn't appear many times in the original work, but the few times he did appear, he truly amazed Huang Hai.

At that time, he was so envious that he even went out of his way to collect some information about the other party.

Putting aside the series of puzzling actions he took, Huang Hai still admires his innovative thinking.

According to the information he had searched, the Paw-Paw Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit with a localized ability, creates paw-like pads in the user's palm.
