One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Shiryu of the Rain gladly accepted the transfer order from CP0. Being able to slaughter powerful pirates on the sixth floor was the most enjoyable time for him. Dealing with the small pirates on the upper five floors no longer gave him much pleasure.

"Should we just kill this die-hard?"

Dealing with someone like Barrett, neither force nor gentleness will work. It's better to just stab him and use the result as a sacrificial offering to the sword, sending him to meet the former Pirate King.

However, the World Government had a different opinion. CP0's first priority was to ensure that Barrett did not die, and the Five Elders were equally interested in the secrets that the Joker wanted to obtain from him.

What kind of secret could make a powerful figure like Buggy the Clown act like a coward in front of the Navy and infiltrate Impel Down to find Barrett? If we could find out in advance, it would definitely be beneficial to the World Government's rule.

That magical light screen not only pierces the sky but also extends deep into the sea. The mermaids of the Mermaid Kingdom can watch it without having to surface. The same applies to the underwater prison.

The light screen pierced through the thick walls of Impel Down, allowing both the prison guards and prisoners to watch it together. The latter had no right to read newspapers and were unaware of outside information, but the presence of the light screen completely revitalized their previously lifeless hearts.

Another powerful pirate has appeared at sea, giving the Navy and the World Government a headache. The pirates imprisoned can only cheer incessantly, and they are overjoyed whenever the former two suffer a setback. With their personal freedom restricted, the information on the light screen is their only entertainment in their dark lives.

The prisoners can also chat freely on the screen, joking around and swearing, thus making contact with the outside world. However, most of these criminals are alone, and even if someone outside wants to rescue them, it is extremely difficult.

Something's changed; we can't chat anymore.

"There's a new scene; it's an island in winter."

"You damned pirates, shut up and behave yourselves!"

Faced with the noisy prisoners, the jailers did not hesitate to use their whips, lashing the group of wicked people to quiet them down.

Having learned from their previous experience, these prisoners were the most obedient when watching the light screen. No matter how much they were beaten or scolded, they wouldn't move, all in order to watch the future information on the light screen in time. Even if they couldn't get out, they were full of longing for their future.

CP0 and Shiryu of the Rain stopped torturing Barrett and turned their attention to the light curtain that led into the sixth layer. After spending so many years in prison, Barrett knew almost nothing about the islands on the Grand Line.

However, as the world government's most elite agents, CP0 immediately recognized the island on the light screen, and its perpetually wintery climate was the best proof of that.

It's Drum Island, located in the first half of the Grand Line.

"What secrets could such a small kingdom hold?"

Drum Island was quite famous a few years ago, and outsiders originally went there for medical treatment. However, since King Valpo expelled a large number of doctors, the country has become deserted.

If Wapol hadn't consistently paid the same amount of Celestial Gold each year, the World Government would have kicked him out of the member states long ago. This short-sighted king is simply lowering the standards of the member states.

CP0 also obtained some intelligence that King Wapol had formed a White Iron Pirates crew. Instead of being a proper king, he became a pirate and couldn't even do the most basic tax collection work properly. His level of national governance is truly appalling.

The image reappeared on the screen and spread all over the world. Last time, it brought out an extremely evil pirate at sea, a being with a bounty of 3 billion Berries.

The second review attracted even more attention. The unpredictable future has become a known existence. Faced with this temptation, the Navy, pirates, and the World Government could not resist. They could not miss any of the information and had to analyze and record every single piece of information.

I wonder what kind of being this creature, hailed as the god of Zoan-type creatures, is on the high seas.

Chapter 35 The Light Curtain Opens for the Second Time

"Is the location on the light screen really Drum Island?"

The Straw Hat crew's skeptical voices greatly displeased Icarus. These people were questioning his professionalism, and as the chief minister of the Alabasta Kingdom, he certainly had that much knowledge.

"But the island is mostly inhabited by ordinary people and the only remaining witch doctor; the Zoan God can't possibly connect them together."

In the subsequent description, Icarus tells everyone about the cruel King Wapol, who is a Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit user and has a Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit user under his command. These two people have no connection whatsoever with the Zoan God.

Ikaram had met these two people at the last World Conference. He even helped Princess Vivi recall Wapol's memory of beating her up. After hearing this, the Straw Hat crew gained their understanding: they were a bunch of scum who not only rode on the backs of the people and acted arrogantly, but also harmed them.

"A user of the Gluttony Fruit, there are so many Devil Fruit users on the Grand Line."

As Zoro swung his sword, he exclaimed that when he was a pirate hunter in the East Blue, he had never seen so many Devil Fruit users, especially the executives of Baroque Works, almost all of whom had eaten a Devil Fruit.

His swordsmanship is not yet at the level of cutting steel. He can easily deal with some small pirates, but he would be more troublesome when fighting against an opponent of Mr. 3's level in a one-on-one battle. As a swordsman, he is aware of his own shortcomings in the face of these strange and wonderful Devil Fruit abilities.

So after leaving Whiskey Peak, whenever he had free time, he kept honing his physique and practicing his Three-Sword Style swordsmanship. He didn't want to lose to anyone again, and he didn't want to hold Captain Luffy back.

Few people use Haki in the first half of the game; it's only in the second half of the Grand Line that Haki becomes truly powerful, greatly enhancing the abilities of swordsmen and those skilled in physical combat.

"I've decided that we must recruit a doctor on Drum Island so that no one will get sick."

Luffy sat on the ram's head with his arms outstretched, shouting towards the sea ahead, his illness unable to stop his adventurous steps.

The weather on this Grand Line is truly unpredictable. Just a moment ago it was a bright and sunny day, but now that we've reached this area, snowflakes are falling and a biting wind is blowing across the sea. Fortunately, the sea isn't frozen over, so the Going Merry can continue its voyage.

The closer they got to Drum Island, the lower the sea temperature became. Fortunately, the navigator Nami had the foresight to buy a batch of winter clothes in Loguetown, and everyone changed into winter clothes to keep as warm as possible.

"I wonder what Shanks is doing, beating up his friend Bucky the Joker. He won't be angry with me, will he?"

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes. It was Buggy the Clown who was hiding his true abilities, mainly using the Straw Hat crew to enter Impel Down. A pirate with a bounty of 3 billion Berries like him is not someone a small pirate with a bounty of 30 million Berries like you can mess with. Luffy's bounty is just a fraction of his.

The second half of the Grand Line

The Red-Haired Pirates left the Whitebeard Pirates' base, and the meeting ended unhappily. Shanks underestimated Edward Newgate's arrogance; that unfounded confidence that an elder had in a junior left Shanks speechless.

Even if they don't call Ace back, they can't even ask for a strong person to bring him back. They say they want to train their son and let him experience his own trials so that he can grow into a towering tree.

However, if the storm is too big, Ace, who is still a sapling, may be cut down by Blackbeard Teach. Shanks has done more than enough for the son of the former captain. After that, it will depend on Ace's own fate.

Fortunately, we've placed our bets on Luffy. Through the light screen's vision of the future, this once unremarkable little guy will gradually grow stronger, defeat one opponent after another, inherit the will of the former Pirate King Roger, and perhaps he really will become the next Pirate King.

Just as Shanks was envisioning the future, he heard a report from his crew that a small boat was approaching. The approaching figure was none other than the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk. His unchanging little boat was truly unworthy of his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The other party didn't come to fight him. Shanks, a swordsman, had lost an arm, so Hawkeye Mihawk lost interest in him.

"What a rare guest!"

Hawkeye Mihawk boarded the Yonko's ship, not to deliver Luffy's bounty poster, nor to Buggy the Clown's.

Shanks wasn't worried about either of them. Luffy had just started his adventure in the Grand Line, and his friend Buggy was reported in the newspapers to be missing or dead. But the Vivre Card doesn't lie; this lucky clown is still alive and well.

Bucky's Vivre Card was damaged, and Shanks guessed that he had suffered serious injuries during the Loguetown incident and was hiding somewhere in the East Blue recovering.

"You want to ask about Artoria?"

Shanks has connections with the World Government, so he can meet with the Five Elders at any time. Even Hawkeye Mihawk can only ask him for information about Artoria's current location.

The sudden rise of this female swordsman to join the Navy has made some pirate forces uneasy. Her attack method of destroying an island with a single sword strike is exactly what Morgans, that birdman, was right about: she is a humanoid ancient weapon.

"I'd like to experience the strength of this female swordsman firsthand," Hawkeye Mihawk had already elevated Artoria to the same level as him as a female swordsman. He was a male swordsman, and she was a female swordsman. The two swordsmen had to settle their score and see who was the world's number one swordsman.

Shanks took out a Den Den Mushi, went into the cabin, and spoke with a mysterious figure. After talking for more than ten minutes, he returned to the crew.

Here's a reply to my good friend: "Admiral candidate Artoria hasn't been assigned to a foreign post. She's currently at Marineford, the naval headquarters. I can't guarantee what will happen in a few months."

Seeing that Mihawk was about to leave after hearing the news, Shanks quickly stopped him, telling him to stay and watch the light screen before leaving, and to attend the banquet on their ship and the duel between the strongest swordsmen with Artoria. He said a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

This great swordsman is very interested in the future. The light screen may reveal an even stronger swordsman. As a warmonger, he must get the information about the opponent as soon as possible and block the opponent's doorstep to fight him.

Drum Island, Drum Peak Castle

A witch doctor lives here. She is 139 years old and keeps a strange creature that looks like a reindeer and wears a pink hat.

"Kureha, the Goddess of the Animal Type, do we have such a person on Drum Island?"

The "speaker" was less than a meter tall, standing on two feet, with two antlers on his head that pierced a pink hat. He had a blue nose, a brown body, and was covered in fine hair.

If there were any outsiders here, they would surely jump up in surprise, wondering what kind of monster it was that could actually see a reindeer talking.

Kureha gazed at the light screen outside the window, not answering her pet's question. A sense of unease settled in her heart, just like the day Hiruluk died; she had a feeling something bad was about to happen…

Chapter 36 Tony Tony Chopper

Amidst the anticipation of everyone, the screen finally displayed a new image, and that familiar male narrator's voice reappeared, accompanied by video footage...

The previous character had a red nose, while this second one happens to have a blue nose.

A reindeer less than a meter tall, wearing a pink hat and with a striking blue nose, is holding a cotton candy in its hand. It's a pet image of a reindeer eating cotton candy. This is an image from a Navy wanted poster, but the bounty is only fifty Berries.

Tony Tony Chopper is revered by later generations as a miracle doctor and a god among Zoan-type heroes.

[Originally a reindeer with a blue nose, its unique appearance led to its rejection by its herd, and it accidentally ate a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, taking the form of a commoner.]

[This fruit granted a reindeer human-like thinking abilities. If an ordinary person ate this fruit, they would become unable to swim and have no abilities. Fortunately, Chopper ate it, which began his legendary life.]

[This wanted poster was issued by the Navy. Tony Tony Chopper was first given a bounty of 50 Berries, then 100 Berries, and then the bounty was increased tenfold to 1,000 Berries.]

The Navy and the World Government's worrisome intelligence capabilities indirectly protected this legendary figure, a fact often used as a joke by later generations and told to children.

[He had many achievements in his brilliant life. He served as the ship's doctor with the Straw Hat Pirates, and completed a round-the-world voyage with his companions. During this time, he exchanged and learned from famous doctors all over the world, enriching his medical knowledge. He set off from Drum Island and returned to Drum Island.]

After leaving the pirate world, he settled on Drum Island and became a renowned monster doctor on the high seas. After curing his patients, he would not charge a consultation fee, but would ask those who recovered from serious illnesses to plant five cherry blossom trees for him and those who recovered from minor illnesses to plant one cherry blossom tree for him. Due to years of practicing medicine, Drum Island, a perpetual winter island, is covered with cherry blossom trees, and later generations estimated that there are millions of cherry blossom trees.

When the cherry blossoms bloom, the beautiful petals cover the entire Drum Island like an ocean. Tony Tony Chopper, the great doctor who went down in history, with his noble character and miraculous medical skills, influenced later generations to use cherry blossoms to praise the superb medical skills of famous doctors.

He spent his life pursuing a panacea that could cure any disease, and after decades of effort, he finally developed it in the final moments of his life. He named it the Blue Panacea, and this potion was later known as the Divine Grace Potion.

This medicine is called "Divine Grace" because it not only cures any disease but also grants the user immortality, permanently activating all cells in their body and maintaining their age at the moment of consumption.

The previous section briefly outlined his medical achievements. Next, we will discuss Tony Tony Chopper's outstanding contributions to Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

The scene changes from a bounty poster for a reindeer pet to a reindeer holding a yellow pill in its hoof, which is the absolute protagonist of today's story.

[Zoan-type Devil Fruits—Ordinary, Ancient, and Mythical—can only transform into three forms: human, beast, and human-beast. This is a problem that has plagued all Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. As long as Devil Fruits exist on the seas, these three forms have never been broken.]

The yellow pill in the picture is called the Rumble Ball by Chopper. As for why he named the yellow pill after the blue one, it might just be one of his quirky interests.

[Rumble Ball, a drug that can disrupt the transformation wavelengths of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, was entirely developed under Chopper's leadership. Taking one Rumble Ball grants him nine enhancement stages.]

[By enhancing a single ability in various transformation stages, he maximized the development of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, single-handedly elevating them from the bottom of the hierarchy to a level on par with Logia-type Devil Fruits.]

[The following are the various forms he developed for the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit in its civilian form.]

[Weight Enhancement Stage: Animal-type humanoid form, antlers completely atrophy, increased height and muscle mass grant him greater strength, making him resemble a giant, furry gorilla. Later, his strength will approach that of a giant.]

[Strength Enhancement Stage: Animal-type Human Form. The antlers do not degenerate, and the arms become abnormally thick. In this state, use physical techniques such as "Hawk Carving" on enemies to maximize the effectiveness of the techniques.]

[Leg Strength Enhancement Stage: Zoan-type Beast Form, transforming into a four-legged reindeer, becoming more agile and possessing extremely strong endurance. In this state, escape ability is maximized, and the speed that can be briefly bursted is on par with that of Marine Admiral Kizaru.]
