Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

Jiang Han looked up at the scorching sun still hanging high in the sky, thinking in his heart that the plot of the nine dragons pulling the coffin took place in the evening, and the landing place was exactly this Jade Emperor Peak. In this case, he simply leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. Mount Tai is worthy of being the first of the Five Sacred Mountains. Standing on the Jade Emperor Peak and looking far into the distance, there are thousands of mountains undulating under your feet, and the Yellow River rushing and winding in the distance. This scene makes people deeply understand the true meaning of Confucius's "climbing Mount Tai and looking down on the world". The ancient pines on the mountain are lush and green, and flowing springs and waterfalls can be seen everywhere. The solemn and majestic atmosphere does not lose the spirit of elegance. Coupled with the misty clouds in the mountains, it adds a bit of mystery and depth.

As time goes by, the sun sets in the west, and the cloud peaks seem to be inlaid with a layer of golden edges, shining like precious treasures. Such a beautiful scene makes people linger and indulge in it.

At this moment, among the tourists coming and going, a large group of about thirty people caught Jiang Han's attention.

"Xiao Man, it's a good decision to come to your country this time. Taishan is so beautiful!" Walking in the front of the team was a tall young man with a typical Western face. Compared with the soft and smooth faces of Oriental people, his facial features were very three-dimensional. He had a high nose bridge, slightly sunken blue eyes, and curly blond hair. According to Western aesthetic standards, he was handsome and elegant.

"Kade, I hope you like it here." Next to the Western youth was a slim woman about 1.7 meters tall. She wore a pair of fashionable sunglasses, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and she stood there slenderly, showing her elegant temperament.

……

Listening to the conversation in the team, Jiang Han's mouth slightly raised, and a curve appeared. He quickly recognized some of the people from the conversation. Finally, his eyes fixed on a young man in a blue shirt.

"Ye Fan, have you ever thought about getting back together with Xiaoman?" Lin Jia pointed at Li Xiaoman who was walking in front and couldn't help but ask.

"She and I have different pursuits and we are not from the same world. Since we have separated before, why should we do it again?" The young man, Ye Fan, glanced at Li Xiaoman's back and smiled calmly.

"That was in the past after all. Maybe she is now..."

"My little brother, I see that there is a bad omen between your eyebrows, and there will be a great disaster. Our meeting is fate. I have a treasure here that can help you break the disaster and even lead you to the pinnacle of your life. I wonder if you are interested in learning about it?" Just as Lin Jia was about to continue persuading him, Jiang Han had already walked forward with a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Ye Fan.

"There is evil between the eyebrows, and the evil spirit is rushing to the palace?" Ye Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he took out a book that he bought for five yuan at the foot of the mountain from his arms, and said to Jiang Han: "Brother, I see that you are gifted and amazing, and you are a rare martial arts genius. The task of maintaining world peace depends on you. I have a secret book here, and I think it is destined for you, so I will sell it to you for fifteen yuan."

Jiang Han looked at the book Ye Fan handed over, especially the four conspicuous words "Tathagata Palm", and was stunned. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being an Earthling!
"Puff!" Lin Jia on the side couldn't help laughing out loud. Her graceful figure trembled slightly because of her smile. She reached out and pulled Ye Fan's arm and said, "Hurry up and catch up with the people in front. They are all falling behind. Don't pay attention to this charlatan."

Ye Fan smiled, then looked at Jiang Han: "There are too many charlatans like you on Mount Tai, one more won't make a difference. Take out your 'treasure', as long as it's less than fifty yuan, I'll buy it for you."

"No money required, this is an opportunity I'm giving you." Jiang Han raised his hand, and a sky-blue spiral fruit and a golden bowl suddenly appeared in his palm: "I only need a drop of your blood, and this treasure will be yours."

"Oh my god! This... this is a devil fruit!" Seeing the appearance of the fruit in Jiang Han's hand, Ye Fan opened his mouth wide, with a look of surprise on his face. As a senior fan of Haimi for ten years, how could he not recognize the devil fruit! However, this was the first time he saw it in real life, and it was exactly the same as the image in the anime, so realistic that it was amazing.

"So you know him." Jiang Han's eyes flashed with surprise. He thought, unlike Xiao Yan who traveled through time too early and went to the "Battle Through the Heavens" dimension before "One Piece" became popular, before Ye Fan traveled through time, "One Piece" was already popular all over the world.

"Looking at the color, what kind of fruit does this belong to? Aokiji's ice fruit?" Ye Fan looked at Jiang Han with burning eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly found a soulmate, and the sense of closeness between two Haimi arose spontaneously.

"Thunder Fruit." Jiang Han looked at Ye Fan with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you tempted? If you want to eat it, just drop a drop of blood into this bowl. You should know what abilities you will gain after eating this Thunder Fruit."

Ye Fan's heart was instantly filled with turmoil. The Thunder Fruit was one of the most powerful devil fruits in One Piece. If he could really possess this power... a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but more of it was an irresistible desire. He knew that once he made this decision, his life might change completely from then on. However, reason reminded him that everything in front of him was too bizarre, like an illusory dream.

"This... this can't be a trap, right?" Ye Fan looked at Jiang Han. Although he had doubts in his heart, his eyes could not be taken away from the Thunder Fruit.

Jiang Han saw Ye Fan's worry and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. Since I chose you, I will not harm you. Just think about it, with the ability of the Thunder Fruit, you will no longer be an ordinary person, and your future achievements will be limitless."

Ye Fan fell into deep thought, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Lin Jia, who was standing by, looked at Ye Fan's hesitation and couldn't help but said, "Ye Fan, ignore him. He looks unreliable. Maybe he wants to cheat you."

But Ye Fan had his own ideas in mind. He thought that even if this was an adventure, if it could change his fate, it seemed worth a try. Moreover, Jiang Han in front of him gave him a mysterious and powerful feeling, and he didn't seem to be lying.

"Okay, I'll try!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He stretched out his finger and gently cut his fingertips, and a drop of blood slowly dripped into the golden bowl.

In an instant, the golden bowl flashed, and the Thunder Fruit seemed to be attracted by something and flew straight towards Ye Fan. Ye Fan subconsciously opened his mouth, and the fruit instantly slid into his mouth. A strange and powerful force instantly exploded in his body...

At the same time, the sunset in the sky became more and more red, as if it was rendering a mysterious atmosphere for this wonderful encounter and the turning point of fate. Not far away, the legend of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was about to begin. What awaited Ye Fan and Jiang Han would be a brand new world full of unknowns and challenges... "Brother, are you kidding me? Your Thunder Fruit is really lifelike, and it is simply like an art master. As a fan of Haimi, I will definitely buy this Thunder Fruit. After all, it is impeccable for collection." Ye Fan looked at Jiang Han. Although he liked the Thunder Fruit in his eyes, he was more suspicious of Jiang Han's behavior. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he continued: "But, but you actually let me eat him, are you kidding? Could it be that after eating your devil fruit made of something unknown, I really have the ability of Enel in the anime? What if I am poisoned to death by you?" Ye Fan's words were full of vigilance against the unknown. After all, in the real world, such unreasonable things are really hard to believe.

"Besides, it is said that the devil fruit tastes like shit. Who knows if you really mixed that stuff into the fruit for a realistic effect!" Ye Fan rolled his eyes, expressing his helplessness at Jiang Han's behavior. "It's not easy for you to make this thing. Let's do this. I'll buy it for two hundred." After saying that, Ye Fan took out two big red Mao Zedong notes from his wallet without hesitation and handed them to Jiang Han. In his opinion, this was already a good price for this "artwork".

"Uh..." Jiang Han was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Fan to react like this. After a few seconds of being stunned, he came to his senses and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. After wandering in the other world for a long time, he had become accustomed to the recognition and acceptance of supernatural powers by people in other planes, but he forgot that on the science-oriented Earth, people think completely differently. If it were him, without enough trust, facing a seemingly dangerous and supernatural "fruit", he would certainly not try it easily. After all, in the subconscious of the earthlings, such extraordinary things do not exist at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Han reluctantly put away the devil fruit again. He knew in his heart that in the following plot, he would have plenty of opportunities to let Ye Fan eat the thunder fruit.

"Brother, don't put it away. Two hundred is too little, right? For the sake of art, I'll add another hundred. How about three hundred?" Seeing Jiang Han put away the fruit, Ye Fan thought that he was not satisfied with the price, so he quickly raised the price. He really liked this lifelike "Thunder Fruit". As a senior sea fan, such a collection opportunity is really rare.

"Three hundred and you're still shaking your head? Forget it, four hundred is four hundred!" Ye Fan gritted his teeth and continued to raise the price.

"Brother, you can't ask for such a high price! Since we are both fans of the sea, I'll give you five hundred. You can't ask for more!" Ye Fan was a little anxious, but he didn't want to give up this "treasure".

……

Ye Fan showed enough persistence and sincerity towards this rare "Devil Fruit". After all, in reality, being able to see such a realistic imitation is a great temptation for him.

"I said I won't sell it to you. I will only give it to you if you eat it." Jiang Han shrugged, spread his hands, and said helplessly. He had his own purpose. For Ye Fan, this thunder fruit was the key to changing his fate, and he had to let Ye Fan accept it.

"I didn't expect you to be a principled charlatan! You don't even want money, but you insist on making people eat your fruit. Are you the lunatic from that research institute? Are you looking for people to be guinea pigs?" Lin Jia couldn't help but glance at Jiang Han with a reproachful look. Her words were full of suspicion and ridicule towards Jiang Han.

Hearing this, Jiang Han subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that this girl's imagination was really big.

"Ye Fan, Lin Jia, what are you two doing? Why don't you catch up?" A voice came from the front.

"Coming, coming, right here!" Lin Jia responded quickly, then pulled Ye Fan's arm and trotted to catch up with the team.

“Little brother, the Nine Dragons are coming, the road to immortality has been opened, and the era of great strife has arrived again. There are countless corpses on the road to immortality. This is a great calamity in your life. Without the Thunder Fruit, you can't go far!” Jiang Han looked at Ye Fan’s departing back, followed slowly behind him, and sighed softly.

Hearing the mysterious voice coming from behind, Ye Fan couldn't help but look back at the "magic stick" who was following them leisurely, and the corners of his mouth twitched again. He secretly complained in his heart, this mysterious guy, has he been a magic stick since he was born? The nine dragons are coming, and the immortal road has been opened, which is simply ridiculous.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the Jade Emperor Temple. There were huge crowds of people here, and it was extremely noisy. Thousands of tourists gathered on the top of the mountain, looking at the magnificent scenery of Mount Tai. Whether looking far away or looking at the grass and trees in front of you, you can deeply feel the majestic atmosphere of this "No. 1 Mountain in the World", and your heart can't help but surge. In front of this magnificent Mount Tai, everyone seemed to have a strange illusion that they were as small as ants, and even the sun, moon and stars in the sky seemed insignificant at this moment. This soul-stirring feeling made everyone immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Rumble!
Suddenly, just as everyone was enjoying the beauty of Mount Tai, several black spots suddenly appeared in the sky. The black spots quickly grew larger in everyone's sight, and with the sound of wind and thunder, they quickly approached the direction of Mount Tai.

In a flash, nine huge monsters descended from the sky like a black torrent, and their momentum was like nine long black rivers falling from the sky.

Looking at this sudden scene in the sky, everyone on Mount Tai, including Ye Fan and his group, were stunned. Their expressions froze and they looked at each other in shock.

"What is that? A coffin, it looks like a coffin!" Someone in the crowd was the first to exclaim.

"Could there be such a big coffin? Could it be an alien spaceship?" another person couldn't help but speculate.

"Look carefully at the nine big guys in the front. Are they somewhat similar to the Chinese dragon passed down from our ancestors?" Someone else expressed his opinion.

"Dragon, are there really dragons in this world? Are the legends true? Or are these giants just jokes made by scientists?" People were discussing it, and all kinds of speculations emerged. (End of this chapter)
