Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 322 The Destined Fruit

The devil was not a creature that would watch the story unfold smoothly, so he also wanted to see how Lu Chen fought against fate.

Since Vanir was interested, Lu Chen directly stated his goal:
"Then take me with you to find the Nika Fruit. This will be the first step in changing the story."

Barnil's words hinted at a sense of being late. "The first step has already changed, the moment you decided to defy fate. The future we observe is already constantly changing."

Lu Chen suddenly felt that Vanir was also expecting him to do the same:
"It sounds like you are also very concerned about this matter. Otherwise, how do you know that the future has changed?"

Vanir extended a hand in a childish manner and said, "Of course, we didn't come here to see our predetermined fate."

"With your strength, you should be able to change your fate, right?"

"Deliberately trying to influence fate may lead to adverse consequences, so we will not actively attempt it now. However, you are very special and can definitely change your predetermined fate."

Vanir once used this ability to acquire a large patent from Kazuma, only to have it snatched away by the unlucky shop owner. So, he wanted to see what kind of changes would happen if someone else changed his fate.

"Then give it a try. This time, maybe you can really influence your fate."

So Lu Chen boarded Vanir's ship, and they went together to look for the most crucial fruit.

During this voyage, Lu Chen imposed soul seals on all the sea kings he met.

This will not affect the normal lives of these sea kings, but they will obey Lu Chen's orders.

Lu Chen’s first order was to ask them to bring more companions to see him, so that their communication ability would be strong enough.

So Lu Chen successfully made friends with the sea kings.

Barnil was surprised that Lu Chen could speak animal language. As a demon duke, he had no way of communicating with the sea kings here.

"You can actually communicate with such an ignorant creature."

Lu Chen explained: "I can hear the sounds contained in all things. This can be regarded as an advanced application of the "Observation Haki"."

"We can also see the inner thoughts of others, but the thoughts of these sea beasts are very ignorant."

In the next journey, Lu Chen will use the fish with enhanced powers to feed these sea kings.

Later, Lu Chen asked the sea beasts to help him pull the boat through the doldrums.

During this period, Lu Chen came into contact with thousands of huge sea beasts. Now, it is no problem for Lu Chen to call himself the Little Sea King.

The agents monitoring Lu Chen had no way of getting on Barnil's ship. Lu Chen was now infiltrating the underground world.

After another half year of sailing, the two found this most far-reaching fruit on an uninhabited desert island.

There was a devil fruit hanging on a tree in the jungle.

This is the most important devil fruit in the world of One Piece. The Human-Human Fruit, the Mythical Beast Fruit, the Nika Fruit appeared in front of Lu Chen.

This devil fruit is generally believed to be a rubber fruit, and this perception may be related to the deliberate claim of the World Government.

Because they cannot grasp this fruit at all, it would be a good choice to completely change this fruit according to human consciousness.

Looking at the blue fruit with spiral patterns, Lu Chen couldn't help but reach out and pick it.

Of course the fruit will not dodge, its evasion is more of a fateful contract.

Once it is obtained by someone who doesn't want it, he will lose it due to a series of coincidences. Lu Chen stared at the fruit and said:

"Is it your will to overthrow the World Government, Joyboy?"

Of course, the fruit couldn't give an answer.

The steel substitute emerges, and within the fruit lies the soul of a demon, and perhaps even Joy Boy's will.

Vanir's expression was unclear, but it was clear he was curious. "What are you going to do next?"

Lu Chen casually shrunk the Nika Fruit and put it away, then answered his thoughts:
"Of course, we're going to look for the Pirate King. He created an era. Or maybe he can play some other role."

What would happen if this fruit was taken away from this world directly?

While traveling on the sea, Roger suddenly spat out some blood from his mouth.

Rayleigh, who was directing the crew, appeared beside Roger in an instant, his words filled with concern.
"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"

They had indeed faced a few battles recently, but the enemies were not very strong. With Roger's strength, it was impossible for him to be injured.

Roger wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and said in a relaxed tone:
"Hahaha, just drink a full glass of wine. I'm not hurt."

Roger didn't care at all about spitting out blood.

Jabba, who was standing by, recalled recent events and said, "Boss, you seem to be coughing a lot lately. Are you sick?"

"I heard that a pirate group was destroyed because of illness. Let's go find a doctor."

"Hey~ Do you want to find a doctor? I want to see a samurai first. He keeps claiming that he killed the general. I plan to go to Wano Country to see those people."

Roger's tone was full of reluctance, he thought of meeting Kozuki Oden in Wano Country. Roger knew very well the peculiarity of the Kozuki family.

Rayleigh said seriously, "Now is not the time for the captain to make a decision. This matter must be decided by all the crew members!"

So Roger responded in a surrendering tone: "Then I'll do as you say, Rayleigh. That's very harsh."

The relationship between Roger and Rayleigh is similar to that between Luffy and Zoro, but the vice-captain has a strong authority.

Seeing that no one else objected, Rayleigh offered his own idea: "I'm very familiar with Kulokas, the lighthouse keeper at Twin Capes. He's a very good doctor. Let's go see him."

"Are we going to have to turn back again? We're in the New World now. We can just find a doctor nearby and have a quick checkup. The adventure of the Final Island still awaits us."

The second-in-command spoke with dignity: "This matter has been decided by all of us. Even the captain must abide by it."

Roger said to his men apologetically, "It seems that we have to go back on our trip because of my affairs."

A crew member nearby said, "Boss, when we get back to Rogue Town, you must treat us to some wine from your hometown again."

"Roger, don't say that. We are companions."

So Roger drew his sword, Ace, and said, "Let's go! To the Twin Capes."

The journey to the final island begins from this moment.
