How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

This amount, which amounts to tens of millions of Berries each month, would be enough to buy Dressrosa from Doflamingo in about a year.

Aside from the Golden Emperor, no one is richer than Cocoyasi Village!

“Is this the point!?”

“That’s certainly not the point!” Miss Fox replied matter-of-factly.

However, Miss Fox knew what to do now, so instead of arguing with Mao Yu, she went to Luffy.

After thinking for a moment, he simply placed one hand on Luffy's forehead and pressed down hard!

"Ouch!" Luffy immediately cried out.

Then I realized it didn't seem to hurt that much; the pain I felt just now was like an illusion, gone in an instant.

But Luffy's demeanor has subtly changed, becoming more natural.

Miss Fox asked, "Luffy, you've grown up. Do you want to become a pirate, or something else?"

Luffy looked up blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Finally, he just blankly replied, "I...don't want to become one of those pirates..."

He paused suddenly, glanced at Nami and the surrounding Marines.

The blank look in his eyes gradually cleared up.

He answered firmly, "I don't want to be a pirate!"

"Yes," Miss Fox nodded.

He said to Mao Yu, "This is normal."

Now, it makes sense why Luffy remained unchanged after seeing firsthand what real pirates were like in the original story.

After experiencing so much, everyone will change to some extent.

But Luffy is different. He has never changed, just like when he set sail, from beginning to end.

"As expected, power comes at a price, and the price is not just being hated by the sea and seastone."

Miss Fox shook her head and sighed.

Sirin, however, was somewhat puzzled. "Why does this Nika Fruit keep influencing its host to become a pirate and eventually the Pirate King?"

Miss Fox thought for a moment and said, "This is probably directly related to why the World Government is wary of the Gum-Gum Fruit."

If you want to stay away from the World Government, then becoming a pirate is the best option, isn't it?

There is.

"The World Government's greatest enemy 800 years ago was probably the owner of the Nika Fruit."

Perhaps, the will within a Devil Fruit isn't entirely unchangeable.

The world of One Piece has never lacked those with strong wills.

It's not impossible to reverse the situation and take control of the consciousness within a Devil Fruit, engraving one's own will into the Devil Fruit.

The defeated spirit from 800 years ago was unwilling to accept defeat, so it corrupted the Devil Fruit, allowing its own will to take over, waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables and fight again.

This kind of plot isn't unfamiliar.

Miss Fox shrugged and spread her hands. "But I think if the world needs a thief to save it, then the world might as well destroy itself."

“Indeed,” Mao Yu nodded in agreement.

No matter what happens to the people, they don't need a thief to save them.

"But the revolution in One Piece can't really be considered a revolution at all..."

“People from island nations can’t understand the meaning of revolution. At best, they just use the name of justice to replace the top leadership.”

Anyway, I didn't see any superior system in the resistance.

In the end, the only result would be a change of people to serve as the world government, and even if successful, it would be completely meaningless.

Chapter 978 Two Possibilities for Red Hair

The World Government is wary of the Gum-Gum Fruit, and the pirate world also has a void in its history.

Without a doubt, the Rubber Fruit and the Void History are closely linked, and the Rubber Fruit is undoubtedly the number one enemy in the World Government's process of seizing the world.

Then there's the defeated faction from 800 years ago. Although they were defeated, the World Government ruled the world for 800 years.

But that force doesn't seem to have completely disappeared; it still hides in various corners, hoping that the spirits of the defeated 800 years ago will lead them to victory again.

"Mom, why do we have to wait instead of them trying on their own?" Celine asked, raising her hand.

That's a good question.

Miss Fox put her hands on her hips. "How should I know what they're thinking?"

Those who were defeated 800 years ago along with the host of the Nika Fruit were nothing more than nations composed of non-human races.

They cower in their territory, hiding in every corner of the world, waiting for the spirits of the dead from 800 years ago to lead them to a desperate comeback.

As for why they didn't secretly train their own troops and try to turn the tide?

Miss Fox couldn't understand, but guessing from the fatalism and bloodline theory commonly used in island nations, it was simply that they believed they didn't have that bloodline and weren't qualified.

"The Poneglyphs are mostly the history of the defeated side 800 years ago, which was erased by the World Government. And those with a 'D' in their names are probably descendants of that faction," Mao Yu said.

So, after 800 years, Luffy's father is the only one in the D. clan to have come to his senses.

Compared to those idiots waiting for a savior to return, at least they dared to form a resistance army and take a gamble.

Well, it's also possible that he didn't know about it.

But the resistance has already developed to that extent; they will eventually learn what they should and shouldn't know as they grow. They haven't given up, nor are they planning to wait for a savior.

Of course, if she turns out to be wrong later, let's just pretend she never thought that way.

“But Mom, there must have been many people who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit in the past 800 years, right? It’s impossible for anyone who eats the Gum-Gum Fruit to become their savior, is it?” Sirin glanced at Luffy, whose situation was somewhat similar to her own.

There is another will existing within each body.

However, Luffy's situation is much more serious than hers; at least the Herrscher's will cannot affect her until it is fully awakened.

"Eating the Gum-Gum Fruit makes you a savior? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

So there must be some other conditions.

And this condition is easy to guess; it's nothing more than the awakening of the fruit.

When the fruit awakens, it will likely be the time when the spirits of the defeated 800 years ago are officially resurrected.

When that time comes, the former followers who were hiding all over the world will gather there and once again follow that leader to wage war for the world.

"Therefore, the awakening of the Gum-Gum Fruit must be the key point."

Before her transmigration, Miss Fox only knew that One Piece had added the concept of Devil Fruit awakening, but she had no idea what the specifics were.

However, based on the information we have obtained so far, the conditions for the fruit to awaken are nothing more than a few.

The fruit's ability is developed to a certain critical point.

Then comes the usual emotional outburst, breaking through that critical point and gaining further power from the concept represented by the fruit.

As for the will within the fruit, that's a matter of opinion.

It's possible that all fruits are like this, but it's also possible that only the Rubber Fruit is so special.

"However, it doesn't matter anymore. Luffy can only be Luffy from now on, and will not be the D. Savior who was defeated 800 years ago."

Spiritual awareness is really useful.

Mao Yu suddenly thought of something, "Fuli, you said you erased the will within the Gum-Gum Fruit, what would happen if Shanks found out?"

Miss Fox nodded. "Yes, that is indeed a problem."

The Rubber-Rubber Fruit was given a new setting, becoming the Nika Fruit, which also made it something the World Government feared.

Shanks lingered in Windmill Village for a year with the Gum-Gum Fruit, and he had once been on the Pirate King's ship. Ace, who lived in the mountains near Windmill Village, was the Pirate King's son.

Thinking about it this way, it's quite possible that Shanks knew about the Nika Devil, and maybe he even went to steal it on purpose.

Whether it was to revive Nika or to ensure Ace could consume it remains unknown.

"Two motives, two outcomes!"

One theory is that Shanks only knows that the World Government is wary of the Gum-Gum Fruit, but doesn't know the specifics. So he wants Ace to eat it to gain the ability to fight against the World Government, which would also protect the captain's son from his childhood.

After being eaten by Luffy, it led him down the path of a pirate. It was also because the World Government was wary of the Gum-Gum Fruit. In any case, possessing the fruit is a crime, and the result would be to become a pirate no matter what, whether by choice or by force.

This can be considered as making amends for one's negligence.

In this situation, even if Shanks found out, he wouldn't react.

The second possibility is that they know the truth about the Nika Fruit and came to Windmill Village to see if the Pirate King's son can become the host for the awakening of the Nika Fruit.

Needless to say, if they knew about this, they would definitely be jumping up and down in excitement, right?

Well, it might not be that exaggerated, but they will definitely come to Donghai to find them.

Because what he needs is Nika, not Luffy.

“Speaking of which, no matter what the outcome, it seems like you’ve given Miss Mao Yu a time limit for her mission,” Xilin suddenly said.

She pointed at Little Luffy.

"Whether he becomes a pirate or a marine in the future, if he can't deal with the World Government before he rises to power, then he's doomed."

Fox and Yu were taken aback, but after thinking about it, they realized that it was indeed the case.

The mission timeline has been extended: the World Government must be dealt with, or at least crippled, before it discovers Luffy possesses the Gum-Gum Fruit.

"I'll blanch you!!"

Mao Yu picked up an axe and chopped down with it!

With a cute "hey," the axe was flicked back by Miss Fox's forehead, making her hairy hands go numb!

This scum, relying on its tough skin, neither dodged nor flinched, allowing Mao Yu to suffer the recoil damage.

Miss Fox smiled.

"Actually, it's not so bad. You have more than ten years. If you succeed in getting the Herrscher Core, it will at least give you the power to destroy a city."

Although it certainly takes time to digest and process.

No problem, Miss Fox will try her best to choose concepts that match Mao Yu, making it easier for her to absorb and grow.

The Devil Fruit that's currently ranked number one is the Flame-Flame Fruit, which even dogs wouldn't eat.

If you're into playing with fire, then the Flame-Flame Fruit, which represents the natural element of flame, is definitely the best choice.

Secondly, there are fruits related to burning.

Okay, we'll talk about it once we find it.

"Before that, let's go find Redhead to play with."

Miss Fox smiled as she glanced at Nami, who had been hiding behind Mao Yu and remained silent the entire time.

Having overheard these conversations, she could easily foresee how she would act as both father and mother to Luffy in the future.

Give it a try! Try your best to keep Luffy in check!
