Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

Chapter 766 Luffy's Devil Fruit Ability...

Good news: I discovered a hidden profession in One Piece: Alchemist.

Bad news: I'm stuck on the alchemist's standard equipment, the alchemy circle.

"As for the alchemy array, let's wait until we go to the Long-armed and Long-legged Country to investigate before making any plans. I hope we can find an ancient alchemy array there that can be used."

If you encounter a question that you cannot solve at the moment, just skip it.

Anyway, there has been great progress in the development of devil fruits.

"I made the green blood into a blue wave ball. This is a pill that changes the wavelength of the body through the medicinal liquid after being eaten. After eating it, you should be able to gain the ability related to green blood, but there is a time limit. After digestion, the ability will disappear directly..."

Luffy shows Vegapunk the Green Blood Blue Wave Ball he made.

"Very impressive." Vegapunk couldn't help but admire Luffy's progress in science.

Especially the newly discovered evolution factor, which can greatly advance the research on devil fruits.

"Sure enough, science still needs to travel more around the world to make greater progress. The world eight hundred years ago is so fascinating..." Vegapunk was full of emotion.

Although they have joined the World Government and obtained nearly unlimited start-up funds, they can no longer do whatever they want in research, and have to do it secretly if they want to make something.

Once the ultimate dream is achieved, I will use the island cloud's technology to break away from the control of the world government.

But...Punk's brain waves became active.

There is only a fine line between genius and madness. Even though one knows that some things are prohibited and not allowed, one still wants to explore them.

I have knowingly gone further and further down the forbidden path.

From a probability perspective, I am very likely to die. It's really a headache, but I'd better study the pacifist first.

Robin continued to read ancient books related to alchemy, magicians, and summoning circles. Luffy listened with great interest regardless of whether these books were storybooks or serious documents.

Punk, who was standing by, would occasionally follow Robin's words and talk about his own research progress.

"Ancient alchemists believed that metals were living organisms. According to my research, this view is wrong..." Punk Records said.

"No, in a few cases, this view is correct. Under the effect of alchemy, some metals are indeed living organisms, such as famous swords," Luffy corrected.

"???" Vegapunk was obviously confused.

"I'm not talking about the laser sword you made, but the traditional alloy sword. Through unknown forging methods, this kind of famous sword does have the power of a living thing." Luffy added.

"Is that so?" Vegapunk was skeptical.

Robin ignored the two researchers' discussion and continued to talk about the magic circle:
"The magic circle is mainly used to summon monsters, release 'magic', and transfer time and space. In the eyes of alchemists, the magic circle is a refining circle, which is used to refine various things.

Some magic circles require magic, some require matter, and some need to absorb life force to be refined... It is worth mentioning that even ordinary magic circles will have different effects if they are drawn in different ways..."

Listening to Robin's story, Luffy found a little white rabbit and stuffed the blue ball he had made into the rabbit's mouth.

In front of Dashiqi's heartless face, he stabbed with a scalpel.

A miracle happened.

The moment the blade touched the rabbit's body, it separated directly and automatically. The cuts at both ends of the rabbit's body were black, and there was nothing inside, no blood or organs at all.

"It seems that the power of the Quarter-Split Fruit is already operating in the rabbit's body."

Luffy holds a scalpel.

The great swordsman's power was released in an instant, and the rabbit was split into millions of pieces of meat in an instant, and was chopped into fine pieces like meat sauce.

Luffy turned the knife in his hand and stopped chopping, and the pieces of meat recovered one by one.

The big white rabbit was held by Luffy's ears as if nothing was wrong, and its feet were flapping in the air.

"Immune to slashing attacks."

Tashigi looked at the rabbit in shock, and the power of the [Fragmentation Fruit] appeared on the rabbit.

"You're just not immune to Haki." Luffy casually threw a knife wrapped in Haki and hit Usagi's heart.

The rabbit kicked its legs and died instantly.

"How cruel! Vice Admiral Luffy!"

"Let's have braised rabbit tonight!" Luffy glared at Tashigi.

"Will it not be enough if there is only one?" Tashigi ate the bear biscuit nonchalantly.

Monet had taken out the second experimental rabbit, stuffed a blue ball into it, and started timing the duration of the blue ball with a stopwatch.

The final duration was about three minutes.

"Overall it's in line with expectations. In this way, we can master it..." Luffy turned his round eyes to the older sister who was telling a story.

Some evil thoughts in my heart could hardly be suppressed.

"Robin dear~"

"It's a disgusting name." Robin said calmly while flipping through ancient documents.

Although she didn't know much about science, she knew through the experimental rabbit that Luffy was developing a devil fruit.

"Can you give me a drop of your blood?" Luffy asked, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"gone back."

Robin stood up and almost instantly thought of a series of actions that Luffy might take.

She was originally led by Luffy, and when the fruit was developed to have those obscene, non-combat uses, she was very worried about what Luffy would become if he had the Flower-Flower Fruit.

Now that this fantasy was about to come true, she could no longer hold back.

"Eh? Just one drop!"

Luffy asked from behind, but Robin walked faster and faster and disappeared directly in the corridor.

"What a shame. I'm a master at developing devil fruits..."

Tashigi thought about the image of Luffy's Flower-Flower Fruit version, and then associated it with Robin's appearance in battle, and felt that it was no big deal.

The sky gradually darkened. After dinner, Nami parked the spaceship at the edge of the hot spring island, and ran towards the hot spring with the girls, cheering.

"Wow, this place has become so luxurious!"

The hot spring island today is very different from what it was before Luffy left. It is several times more luxurious than before, and many people from Alabasta come here to soak in the hot springs at night. There are also many snack stalls selling snacks.

"Wow~ It's so hot here~" Shirahoshi was wearing a haori and Nami was making bubbles for her so she could move freely.

“It’s a hot spring island after all.”

Luffy followed the girl, thinking about how to trick Robin into giving him her blood.

"Welcome~ You are... Her Highness Vivi, and Mr. Luffy!"

"It's Princess Weiwei who's back!"

"Long live Princess Vivi!" Their group was very conspicuous here. After all, there were a large group of girls, and one of them was particularly huge.

Of course, Luffy’s Hero King suit is also very eye-catching.

When such a special team attracted people's attention, Vivi's long aqua blue hair naturally attracted attention, as well as the iconic, inseparable giant duck.

"Hello~" Weiwei waved to her fellow citizens with a smile.

“After arriving here, I feel a lot more relaxed.”

A huge crab put its claws on the ground, and many tourists were getting off the bus on its back.

"Your Highness~" The fat boss in charge of managing the hot spring island hurried over.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to appear here."

"Long time no see, is there any room left? I'd like to invite my friends to take a hot spring bath together."

Seeing the familiar uncle digging holes, Weiwei suddenly felt how fast time passed. This uncle was much fatter than before.

"Of course, I have reserved a private hot spring for VIPs to avoid any unexpected incidents~"

Hot Spring Island has become one of the popular attractions in Alabasta, with a daily visitor flow of 100,000 people. Even the king will take the moving crab bus to come here to soak in the hot springs.

"This must be the mermaid princess. Your beauty is truly the best in the world. It is our honor to be able to receive a distinguished guest like you at Hot Spring Island. May the friendship between Alabasta and the Kingdom of Ryugu last forever~"

The fat boss rubbed his hands and said to the mermaid princess behind him.

Seeing such an enthusiastic human store manager, Shirahoshi was a little shy and hid behind the girls, but with her size, she was very conspicuous no matter how she hid.

"How is Alabasta these days? The water shortage should have improved, right?"

Weiwei quickly diverted the manager's attention and walked towards the VIP hot spring.

"What a huge hot spring facility! The whole island is covered with hot springs~" Bellmère was shocked when he saw the topographic map outside the hot spring shop.

"Not only that, there's a hot sea nearby." Nami said with a smile.

"Ga--" Kalu, who was guarding Weiwei, saw a few ducks running fast. He spread his wings and ran over with a fluttering sound, then puffed out his duck chest.

The fast-running ducks took a few steps back, looking at this huge fellow in disbelief and uttering questions.

Today, Kalu is more than two meters tall when its wings are folded, and its wingspan can reach three and a half meters. It is called a duck, but it is almost evolving into the size of an eagle.

“Ga ga ga ga ga~”

Karu folded his wings, ignored the shocked looks around him, took duck steps, and walked towards Luffy in a twisting manner.

Luffy was looking through a map.

In addition to the normal mixed bathing, men's bathing, women's bathing and private bathing, the hot spring island now has some strange and special baths.

Luffy and others went to the VIP area. The characteristic of this area is that it is huge. Even Shirahoshi can be easily accommodated. There are also some patrolling little gorilla guards on the road. They are holding spears, wearing armor, and have the magatama emblem of the Alabasta royal family. They are obviously from the animal army.

When Kalu saw these animal troops, he became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. No matter what species he saw, he would spread his wings to show off his huge size.

In the eyes of the animal world, big is strong, big is good.

When the patrolling animals saw Karu's size, they all retreated in shock.

The running ducks are a fast race and a member of the royal army. Now that Karoo is so big, no normal animal can withstand a kick from it.

"Kalu! Don't bully your subordinates." Seeing its arrogant look, Weiwei couldn't help but reach out and knock on its head.

"Gah~"

Runaway Duck scurried away from Vivi, then nodded his head towards Luffy.

"Do you want to drink evolution liquid again? No, let's wait until the observation period is over." Luffy felt Kalu's desire.

The change of bloodline factors itself is a highly operational thing, otherwise it would never be Caesar's turn to provide Kaido with an artificial devil fruit, and Quinn could have done it himself.

"Ga~" Kalu was obviously in a much lower mood.

"This is it."

Weiwei opened the VIP room. The walls on both sides were twenty meters high. The venue was very spacious, and there were some artificial reefs in the middle of the hot spring for people to lean on.

"Then let's get ready for a hot spring bath~" Nami put her hands behind her back, took two steps back, and walked behind Bell-mère without leaving a trace.

"This is mine." Luffy's was Vivi's cubicle, "It's big. It's nice to have such a large space all to myself."

But it would be better to have a female companion~ Luffy thought regretfully.

Both parties entered the room and began to prepare for the hot spring bath.

A small ball rolled out of the pocket where it was placed.

"The Splitting Fruit..." Luffy picked up the small ball, probably putting it in his pocket while studying it. Should he eat it and feel it?
It's only three minutes anyway...

As a scientist who can restore life, it is no exaggeration to say that Luffy has a crystal belly like "Shennong".

"Let's experience the difference between the power of the genuine water-fearing devil fruit and the naturally evolved water-fearing superpower..."

Luffy swallowed the shattered blue ball in one gulp.

As the drug took effect, Luffy felt a huge force embedded in his bloodline.

The code of this bloodline factor is complex, huge, and independent. It is controlled by brain waves, but there is a vague sense of separation, as if it does not belong to the body's own power.

"The code is very complex, a chimera of multiple powers..."

Luffy felt this power, his body broke apart layer by layer and hovered in the air.

"The simplest one is to ignore slashing attacks, fly at low altitudes, and sense the body remotely..."

After playing around with Buggy's abilities for a bit, Luffy reassembled his body and headed down to the hot spring.

As most of my body was submerged in the water, waves of powerlessness surged over me.

"Here it comes, this feeling... My physical strength is locked, and I can't draw on my physical strength to activate my abilities..."

Luffy was soaking softly in the hot spring.

Part of the power of the Shattered Fruit seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and was directly shut down.

"Although it's uncomfortable, I can try to adapt. After adapting, I just can't activate the devil fruit ability..."

Luffy felt this rare feeling of weakness.

Is this the weakness that people with special abilities like Uta and Robin experience...

A flame emerged from Luffy's palm and burned in the hot spring.

The power of the devil fruit cannot be used, but the power engraved into the bloodline factor can be used.

"Devil Fruits are external forces and are not truly embedded in the bloodline, so they can be blocked. That is why Devil Fruits can be refreshed as a whole and returned to the fruit after the death of the ability user..."
