"The Gum-Gum Fruit doesn't exist in this world. Did we also deceive the light screen?"
The blond-haired Peter Saint (Jupiter) begins to doubt the reality of the future depicted on the screen.
"It's also possible that in 1525 of the Sea Calendar, Garp's grandson hadn't yet awakened his fruit, so that annotation likely reflects his current state."
The only bald member of the Five Elders, Nassuro Sei (Venus), actively sought excuses to absolve the light curtain.
"It's a pleasant surprise. The Ancient Weapon—the Human King—actually exists! The Poneglyphs don't lie. Nico Robin, bring her back! We need more information."
Mars Saint (Mars) now both loathes and yearns for the indestructible historical text; he wants to know the specific contents of the stone.
Four types of ancient weapons have already appeared: Uranus, Hades, Poseidon, and Man. Perhaps by deciphering more historical texts, we may obtain more information about these weapons. These things, which are enough to overturn the world, must be controlled by the World Government.
Wochuri Saint (Mercury) wanted to cause trouble for someone. "Have Doflamingo come to the Holy Land. He needs to explain the matter of the Human King to us. The conflict between the Celestial Dragons is an internal matter. Has the Human King's Devil Fruit been eaten by someone?"
The Five Elders have lowered their guard against Luffy regarding the Nika Devil Fruit. Given Garp's grandson's brainless behavior, even if the Devil Fruit awakens, it won't have anything to do with Joy Boy. As long as he continues to play with rubber and doesn't create some kind of sun god, it will be within the World Government's tolerance.
During the eight hundred years of World Government rule, many people have eaten the Nika Fruit, but none of them have been able to become Joy Boy. The Five Elders believe that this time will be the same. Since the Nika Fruit is a fruit with self-awareness, let it remain the Gum-Gum Fruit for life.
Who's-Who on Onigashima feels cheated. This thing called the Gum-Gum Fruit has ruined his reputation and forced him to serve the Beasts Pirates. Now the light screen doesn't reveal any information about the Gum-Gum Fruit. Could it be that he was tricked by the World Government?
Shanks, who was still in the latter half of the Grand Line, was already far beyond his understanding of what the light screen was showing. Bullet, that arrogant guy, actually recognized Buggy the Clown as his captain. Is Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit really a Zoan-type Nikka Fruit?
He made a special trip back to the East Blue to personally rob Who's Who was escorting the Devil Fruit. The information that appeared on the screen made Shanks wonder if he had robbed the wrong person and if the Celestial Dragons had given him false information.
With many questions in their minds, these people only wanted to find the answers on the light screen, and the scene on the Thousand Sunny continued.
"To be able to develop so many levels of Devil Fruit abilities, Buggy the Clown must have studied it for many years."
Chopper was still sighing when Nami steered the conversation toward Luffy, saying, "Where did you get that Strength-Strength Fruit? Turning your slippers into weapons, Luffy, sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking."
In Luffy's subsequent explanation, everyone learned that the Power-Power Fruit was given to him by Buggy the Clown, a masterpiece created by a handsome old man who liked to play with snakes, combining a pair of slippers with a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
"What amazing technology! I only knew that inanimate objects could fuse with Zoan-type Devil Fruits, but I never imagined that Paramecia-type Devil Fruits could do it too," Franky said, crossing his mechanical legs. He had learned something new today.
Even Sanji, who is now a transvestite from head to toe, can't shake his habit of having a cigarette after meals. "Perhaps it's an ancient, lost technique, but my transvestite gauntlets have been fused with the Paramecia-type Instant Transmission Fruit."
After being filmed in the Okama Kingdom, Sanji, an Okama character, joined a ki-training sect that had been passed down for a thousand years. The Okama Gauntlets were the sect's most prized possession. As the last successor of the sect, Sanji received the Okama Gauntlets, which were then taken away by the sect.
The muscular Usopp, who has two doors, agrees with the transvestite Sanji's point of view: "My weapon, the Slingshot Black Kabuto, is endowed with the Paramecia-type Judgment Fruit. I found it in an ancient ruin. There are some murals on it that I can't understand. I'll take Robin to see it sometime and hopefully we can decipher some of the long-forgotten history."
The Straw Hat crew's conversation revealed a mystery to those outside the light screen: these items imbued with Paramecia-type Devil Fruits were all related to lost ancient technologies. The Clown Pirates were able to reproduce these ancient technologies, and the snake-playing officer Luffy mentioned was likely Buggy's research officer. It remains to be seen how many ancient technologies this pirate crew possesses.
“Awakening a Devil Fruit is relatively easy, but the later stages of Devil Fruit Release and Devil Fruit Domain are very difficult for ordinary people to achieve. I haven’t seen such content in the Poneglyphs either,” said archaeologist Nico Robin, which gave everyone a deeper understanding of Buggy.
"If I'm not exaggerating, Buggy the Clown is probably the first person in eight hundred years to have mastered a Devil Fruit, reaching a level that no one before him has ever reached."
Robin's evaluation of Buggy the Clown was undeniably high. From her perspective as an archaeologist, the appearance of someone like him on the sea signified that the entire ocean was about to enter a chaotic era, with countless geniuses appearing along the Grand Line like fish crossing a river.
The audience watching the light screen could feel the Devil Child's admiration for Buggy the Clown, but this once-in-eight-hundred-years genius, who was neither a member of the Navy nor the World Government, made most ordinary islanders uneasy. No wonder he was able to drag the world into the Dark Ages single-handedly.
A super genius has emerged among the pirates: Buggy the Clown has earned a new title: Devil Fruit Genius.
He was labeled "extremely dangerous" on the Navy's wanted list, and anyone with a bit of skill was looking for him in the East China Sea.
Chapter 78 Sea God's Treasure Vault
The Straw Hat crew, sailing at sea, begin their sleep journey for the day.
Nami slept while hugging the snake named Little Bay. Robin turned on the desk lamp; she wanted to read for a while. These were books she had obtained from Fishman Island, containing some sea legends she had never heard of before.
This time, Fizz, the little fishman, didn't sleep in the men's dormitory. Instead, he soaked in the huge fish tank on the Thousand Sunny, where Luffy once put sharks. The underwater space was enough for him to swim around all night.
Chopper, the little reindeer, pushed open the door of the medical room. He was going back to the boys' dormitory to sleep. The bed was too big for his body, which was less than a meter long, so no matter how much he rolled around, he wouldn't fall off.
Sanji put on a pink women's nightgown. He would have to make do in the men's dormitory for a few more nights. He covered his entire bed with a soundproof tent to block out the snoring of the men. He plugged his nose and mouth with clean paper. Only by doing this could he sleep peacefully.
Luffy and Usopp were bunk beds, with the latter on top and the former on the bottom. However, due to the sniper's excellent training over the past five years, the top bunk could no longer support his weight, so he had to switch with the captain.
The captain wasn't a peaceful sleeper either; he used to roll off onto the floor in his sleep. This time, Usopp's double-door-sized body caught him, and the two men fell asleep just like that.
The musician Brook, this skeleton, has completely lost the ability to sleep during his five years of training. He stands on the deck playing a lullaby for his companions, hoping they will have sweet dreams tonight.
Franky has transformed from a cyborg into a pure robot. He doesn't need sleep to supply his energy, and sleeping is a waste of time for him. He silently inspects the ship, checking for problems in advance for the Thousand Sunny.
Zoro has become a proper night owl. The watchtower has been converted into his personal training room. He uses his Observation Haki to cover the entire ship while he lifts weights. He is the absolute security guard after the crew goes to sleep, a responsibility he took on voluntarily after boarding the ship.
The light screen has been playing from morning till night, and some ordinary viewers are getting tired of it. Seeing that there's nothing special to watch, they're preparing to take a break, just like the Straw Hat Pirates.
The scenes of pirates sleeping are really not very interesting. If the camera were to focus on the two beauties on the ship, male fans could admire Nami and Robin's sleeping faces until dawn.
Overnight, the Straw Hat crew in the light screen woke up one after another and began their breakfast journey for the day. The Marines, who had stayed up all night, picked up their notebooks again and began to record the information they revealed.
"It's time for little Fitz to have breakfast."
Robin kindly provides a "moaning service" for the little fishman. The short man with white spots on his blue head darted out of the huge fish tank and accidentally splashed some water on the beautiful woman.
Fitz shook himself off the water and dragged his wet body into the restaurant. He knew it was impolite. Robin, standing to the side, had a blush on her face. She was completely powerless against this ugly-cute creature. She liked the little guy Fitz even more than she liked Chopper.
"Fitz, why haven't you taken out your trident lately?"
"Oh, I put that weapon in the sea king's mouth. When I want to use it, I just summon a great white shark. It's quite convenient."
An ugly-cute fishman and a busty beauty walked one after the other towards the restaurant, where the transvestite Sanji had already prepared breakfast for them.
This morning, Sanji changed into a black dress again, and put on white stockings over his hairy legs, wearing pink high heels and heavy makeup. When Robin came over, he took the initiative to fawn over her, "Sister Robin, what would you like to eat for breakfast? The same old thing or should I change it up for you?"
"I'll have coffee and a sandwich then, I'm used to it."
"Sanji, make me some sashimi. I remember there's some sea fish left in the fridge."
Sanji, the transvestite, will readily fulfill Robin's and Fitz's requests, while also showcasing his culinary skills. His cooking skills have greatly improved in the transvestite kingdom, not only satisfying his companions' hunger but also allowing him to utilize some of the special dishes he learned from the transvestite chefs.
As his companions entered the restaurant one after another, they marveled at Fitz eating sashimi. It wasn't the first time they had seen him eat fish, but they were always amazed.
In this world, whether they are mermaids or fish-people, they do not eat fish. They usually eat seaweed or shellfish in the sea and eat some food that humans eat. Fish in the sea can be considered their fellow humans.
"I've already explained it to you. I was raised by humans, and I inherited the authority of the sea god. Don't be surprised that I eat fish. I've never considered them as my own kind, and the creatures living in the mermaid kingdom are the same to me."
Fitz disliked the feeling of being watched while he ate. He carried a plate full of sashimi and sat down next to Robin, letting the woman's body block his view. Under the archaeologist's protection, he could eat in peace. He loved sashimi the most, and the sauce Sanji made made it even more delicious.
"We crew members are all monsters, so why would we care about Fitz being a monster? Sanji, bring me a sashimi sandwich, your captain is hungry," Luffy said as he walked in. He didn't care what kind of monster his crewmates were; as long as they were bizarre and interesting enough, he would invite them onto the ship.
Robin sipped her bitter coffee without milk or sugar, glancing at Fitz eating sashimi one moment and at Luffy devouring his meal the next. The two seemed to trigger some kind of chemical reaction together, their teamwork in the Mermaid Kingdom was exceptionally seamless.
"Luckily, Luffy is the captain. Otherwise, if he had taken me to Fitz in the Sabaody Archipelago, he would have had to swim back the same way to guard the lighthouse. Fate is truly strange."
Nami walked in with a small snake wrapped around her waist. This ever-changing companion was obtained during her adventure in the Mermaid Kingdom. "Without Fitz, there would be no Little Bei. Sometimes Luffy's judgment of people is really accurate. His strange thought process always brings us good luck."
"Fitz even helped us open the Sea God's Treasury. If we hadn't been in such a hurry in the Mermaid Kingdom, I would have emptied it of all its treasures," Nami's eyes had been replaced by Beli's money symbols.
"This is the first time I've ever seen what a mountain of gold and silver looks like. The Poseidon's Treasury is so vast that even a few of us couldn't move it all in a year. If each of us takes a big bag of treasure, it's roughly worth a billion Berries, enough for us to live on for a long time."
When Franky entered the restaurant, the entire cabin seemed to shrink. His mechanical body was like a miniature Transformer, at least five meters tall.
Zoro squinted, saying that he had worked very hard keeping watch last night, but he still insisted on coming to have breakfast. Hearing his companions discussing the Sea God's Treasury, he couldn't help but interject, "It's all the cook's fault for messing things up. A healing sword that can't kill anything in this world, and I just completely missed it."
The Mermaid Kingdom has a treasure trove of the Sea God? This is the first time the outside world has heard of it, and even King Neptune of Mermaid Island is completely baffled.
The princes around him kept asking him about the Sea God's treasure, but he, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, had never heard of the legend of the Sea God's treasure trove.
Chapter 79 The Nether Blade
While the audience watching the light screen was still absorbing information about the Sea God's Treasure Vault, the Straw Hat crew in the year 1525 of the Sea Calendar dropped another bombshell.
"You can only barely control Zoro's sword, Tenseiga. If you relax even slightly, it will slip away and you'll lose this legendary sword sooner or later."
"You damn transvestite, it's all because of your stupid principle of not getting rough with women. You should at least see who she is! She's a newly appointed Marine Admiral!"
Zoro drew his sword and Sanji raised his leg; the two were about to fight without warning. The other crew members didn't step in to stop them; they were used to this kind of infighting.
After finishing their meal, the two officers on the ship got into a fight. Fitz finished his sashimi and licked the plate clean. He praised his crew, saying, "Sanji is a great cook and a very thoughtful person. He found the Tenseiga in a corner, and Robin also helped decipher the murals. Without you guys, this sword would never have been born."
Robin likes Fitz the fishman, who is ugly and cute. She is very happy after being praised by him. "The legendary Hades sword that can bring the dead back to life. Only Luffy dares to use it. We almost couldn't leave Fishman Island."
"I get scared just thinking about it now. That big idiot Luffy actually took the Tenseiga to Queen Otohime's tomb. If the resurrection ability is fake, then this crime of desecrating the queen's corpse is really hard to explain."
"Hehe, I made the right bet. Princess Shirahoshi misses her mother, and I'm just fulfilling her wish. Might as well use the Tenseiga and revive Queen Otohime. After that, we can have a ten-day, ten-night banquet on Fishman Island."
The crew shook their heads at the captain's recklessness, for Luffy always possessed extraordinary intuition and execution in such crucial matters.
"The fact that Queen Otohime was brought back to life couldn't be kept secret. She was still being chased by the newly appointed Admiral, and the Tenseiga ended up falling into the sea and disappearing without a trace. Nobody benefited."
The thought of losing such a powerful sword that could bring intelligent beings back to life so carelessly made Nami clutch Little Bee's head in pain. Luckily, she had obtained a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit from the Sea God's Treasury, otherwise she would have really lost out.
Robin comforted her best friend, saying, "Nami's Tenseiga also has limitations. First, the deceased needs to have a lifespan before death. Those who die of old age or from illness will not live long even if their souls are summoned back. Second, the deceased's body needs to be preserved as well as possible. Queen Otohime was noble in life, and her body has always been specially cared for in her mausoleum. Ordinary people do not have this kind of treatment."
This information was deciphered by the archaeologist through the murals. The soul of the deceased struck by the Tenseiga is summoned back from the underworld to restore the body to its original state. It cannot be used to treat diseases, but all kinds of diseases suffered before will be restored. Each intelligent being can only be resurrected once.
This legendary sword possesses its own consciousness; only those with pure hearts can use it to bring the dead back to life. If the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates used Tenseiga, this sword would merely be a sharp weapon. Only Captain Luffy could save lives by wielding Tenseiga to cut people.
"After reviving a life, it automatically leaves. Zoro's method of suppressing it with strength is not a long-term solution. The Tenseiga has returned to the sea, perhaps also searching for its next wielder."
"Sister Robin is right, you can't blame me, Algae Head!"
"Bullshit! If it weren't for Sanji letting the Marine Admiral in, Tenseiga would never have escaped my grasp. It's all your fault, you transvestite!"
The two strongest fighters on the ship are fighting again, which is part of their daily routine. The loss of the Tenseiga is just an excuse. Sanji and Zoro always have to spar, neither of them wants the other to be superior to them. The battle between the second and third in command continues on the pirate ship Thousand Sunny.
Outside the light screen, Fishman Island was bustling with activity. Fishman Street was abuzz with discussions about Queen Otohime's resurrection in the future. Such a wonderful ruler, she was deeply loved by most of her subjects before her death. It was truly unexpected that she would come back to life.
Some fish-people who cannot coexist peacefully with humans and hate them are very interested in the Sea God's Treasury mentioned by the Straw Hat crew. This great treasure left behind by the mermaid kingdom has actually fallen into the hands of a group of humans in the future. This weak and incompetent Dragon Palace should be overthrown as soon as possible.
Neptune, the supreme ruler of the mermaid kingdom in the Dragon Palace, sat on his throne listening to the princes and ministers arguing below. They had never heard of the Sea God's Treasury, but even if they told the truth, no intelligent creature would believe them; they would all think that these mermaids wanted to take the Sea God's Treasury for themselves.
"It would be wonderful if Mother were to be resurrected in the future! I can't wait five more years; I must go find the Sea God's Treasury now!"
"Big brother, take me with you too. Mother will be so happy if she can revive Bai Xing. It breaks my heart to keep her locked up like this."
