As Luffy approached Char's side, his gaze was suddenly drawn to an inconspicuous little wooden box on the bar.

"This is?!"

Luffy opened the wooden box and looked at the strangely shaped fruit inside. Suddenly, a sense of curiosity flashed through his mind! Whether it was Luffy's imagination or not, he felt that this Devil Fruit was constantly attracting him.

Nika Fruit: "Yes, yes, yes! Quick, eat me! Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

"Ah! I'm so hungry! I'll just eat this..."

At this, Luffy's stomach suddenly rumbled, and he picked up the Devil Fruit in his hand, about to eat it.

"Snapped!"

That’s when…

Char, who had been chatting with Shanks, suddenly turned around, grabbed Luffy's hand that was holding the Nika-no-Kami fruit, and put the fruit back into the wooden box in front of Luffy. He then casually put it into his pocket and handed Luffy a hot dog.

"That fruit doesn't taste good! This one does!"

Char gently patted Luffy's head and smiled.

at the same time.

After Char put the Nika Fruit into his bag, he finally saw it—the Dark-Dark Fruit, one of his ultimate rivals! The Dark-Dark Fruit chuckled and said, "Sweating buckets, aren't you, Nika?"

Chapter 119 Dark Fruit: In the end, I am not worthy of the noble Lord Xia!

What exactly are Devil Fruits?!

Vegapunk said, "The so-called Devil Fruits are simply the 'possibilities' of human evolution that some people desire! If only we could become this way, if only we could become that way, if human bodies could grow wings like birds, we could fly! If human bodies could transform into some kind of 'element' of nature, we could evade any attack! If humans could be like the immortals and gods in mythology, we could live forever! All these possibilities for the future of humanity have become so-called 'abilities,' and because of their 'unnatural' nature, they are denied by the 'ocean,' the mother of nature! Therefore, they are beings burdened with punishment, beings resisted by the sea! The so-called ability users are people living in various other dimensions as depicted by some people..."

The above is a hypothesis that Vegapunk arrived at after decades of researching Devil Fruits.

As for the origin of Seastone, and the reason why the PYROBROIN factor contained within Seastone, which is the same as that in the sea, is effective against Devil Fruit users...

According to Vegapunk and Char's research, they hypothesized that Seastone was created because, with the emergence and increase of Devil Fruits, the ocean, as the mother of nature, felt disgust towards the Devil Fruits and anger towards the unnatural phenomena that gradually appeared in the world. This led to the creation of countless Pyrobron factors to restrain Devil Fruit users and correct these unnatural phenomena. As these Pyrobron factors gradually increased and accumulated, they formed the mineral known as Seastone.

Of course, the above research is based on Vegapunk's hypothesis about the origin of Devil Fruits. If someone proves that Vegapunk's understanding of Devil Fruits is wrong, then the system that Char and Vegapunk have jointly developed to study all Devil Fruits in the world will be completely overturned.

However, all of Char's research so far indicates that Vegapunk's hypothesis is correct, or at least a large part of it is correct...

Based on Vegapunk's hypotheses and research on Devil Fruits, Char Aznable proposed a completely new hypothesis: "If the so-called Devil Fruits are some people's visions of the future of humanity, and the possibility of human evolution, then is there really a Devil Fruit in this world that can possess the future of all humanity in the world?! That can transform into any future that the user wants to become?! And thus possess the abilities of all the Devil Fruits in the world?"

This answer puzzled Char for a long time...

Until, Jaigolusia Satan, one of the Five Elders and one of the world's highest authorities, handed a Devil Fruit to Char.

At that time, Satan said, "Char, I've been researching this Devil Fruit for a very long time, but unfortunately, every time I've researched it, I'm just a little bit short! I'll leave the rest of the research to you!"

"What is this Devil Fruit?!"

Xia looked at the Devil Fruit with its peculiar patterns in his hand and asked Satan Saint about it.

"The name of this Devil Fruit?! I wonder if you've ever heard of it, the Paramecia-type Year-Year Fruit..."

Saint Satan first answered Xia's question, then stood before Xia, leaning on his cane. His gaze drifted slightly to the sky, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and he continued, "The Fruit of Years is an extraordinary fruit! You could say it's the most powerful Devil Fruit in history! Or you could say it's the weakest Devil Fruit in history..."

Saint Satan paused slightly at this point, then suddenly turned to Xia and asked, "Just like how we were all young once, and how everyone had dreams of a bright future! I wonder if Xia, when you were a child, you ever considered this question?"

"what is the problem?"

Xia looked at Satan Saint and asked.

"What kind of life do you want to live..."

As Satan said this, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"An interesting question."

Char did not give Satan a real answer to this.

"As we grow older, receive more information, and become more knowledgeable, our childhood fantasies about the future seem to simply disappear!"

"After all, fantasy is just fantasy; it's not reality! Just like this Devil Fruit, its power is at its strongest from the moment you ate it when you were young. As the user grows older, receives more and more information, and is constrained by various conditions, the user finds their future incredibly narrow. At that point, the Devil Fruit will lose its power and gradually become mediocre. It will never be able to achieve a unified power! In short, this fruit is entrusted to you. I hope you can draw new conclusions in areas I haven't been able to explore..."

After Satan finished speaking, he left on his own, leaving only Char and the Devil Fruit in Char's hand, which Satan hailed as the strongest and weakest in the world.

"The Fruit of Years? Let me see if you are the strongest or the weakest..."

Char smiled as he looked at the fruit in his hand, then turned and left.

Back in time...

After Char met Shanks and traded a plate of hot dogs for the Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan Nikka form from Luffy, he returned to the luxurious suite that CP0 had built for him in Windmill Village.

According to CP0, it would be a great disrespect to Char to have the esteemed Figarand family living in such a shabby eight-room, eight-hall house...

They have already gone to the capital of the Goa Kingdom to recruit (or capture) craftsmen and workers, and they are determined to build a castle for Char in Windmill Village within a month...

Char simply smiled at this; he didn't have time to concern himself with the castle's affairs right now.

In Char's room, three Devil Fruits were arranged in order: the Year-Year Fruit, the Nika Fruit, and the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Char currently has two projects in mind, one of which is to combine the Nika Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit to create a sun god who cannot laugh...

Um, shouldn't we call it the God of Black Holes?!

Another task was to have his subordinates search for the most basic form of the Human-Human Fruit, the Human-Human Fruit - Ordinary Person Form, which is the legendary Commoner Form...

Char also had endless complaints about this Devil Fruit...

Char simply couldn't understand how someone could, after fantasizing for so long, ultimately conclude that their future, at best, would be nothing more than an ordinary person! This wasn't just a matter of lacking imagination; it was something even you, buddy, wouldn't dare to dream of...

But ordinary people are also the foundation of everything.

According to Vegapunk, all Devil Fruits represent the possibility of human evolution that some people hope for!

If the Age-Age Fruit's ability to distort the future were fixed, and combined with the Human-Human Fruit's power, could Char create a near-omnipotent Devil Fruit?

Char had already chosen a name for this Devil Fruit...

Following the naming method for Nika Devil Fruits, first choose a Paramecia-type name, then a Zoan-type name...

Char gave this fruit, which he considered the strongest, two names.

They are the Paramecia-type Omniscience and Omnipotence Fruits!

And, the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Yahweh form!

Besides, Char Aznable had other reasons for searching for the Human-Human Fruit! Both Char and Vegapunk had discovered that Logia-type Devil Fruits are almost impossible to replicate…

When Char and Vegapunk were replicating Logia-type Devil Fruits, they discovered that Logia types couldn't directly replicate the fruit using lineage factors like Zoan types, nor could they create green blood for the user to control like Paramecia types...

Therefore, Char plans to first transform the Logia-type Devil Fruit into a Zoan-type Devil Fruit with special abilities, and then replicate it. In other words, Char essentially went in circles and then came back to the same point…

For example, Char could use the Year-Year Fruit to distort the future of the Glint-Glint Fruit, then fix that distorted future and fuse it into the Human-Human Fruit, thus creating a glowing person...

Char has even decided on the fruit's ability: it'll be called the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Flash-Human Form! Yes, all Devil Fruits can be Zoan-type...

As for fixing a certain ability of a Devil Fruit, but correspondingly removing other abilities of the Devil Fruit, Char has already mastered this method quite well when he was developing various dragon-type fruits with different attributes based on the Blue Dragon Fruit!

According to Char's plan, as long as he uses the Year-Year Fruit to distort a future, and then removes the Year-Year Fruit's original ability to distort the future, he can basically preserve the future that he distorted forever...

Of course, all of this is still Char's hypothesis, for the sake of his omniscience and omnipotence fruit, and his plan to mass-produce artificial 'Logia' Devil Fruits! He still needs to keep experimenting...

As for who should be Char's test subject, is there anyone in this world more suitable than Luffy?! Luffy is the one who carries the destiny of heaven. Since Luffy is truly Joy Boy's successor, that means that no matter how many experiments Luffy cooperates with Char in, he will absolutely not die, right?!

If Luffy is truly Joy Boy, the boy who brings laughter to the world, then Luffy definitely wouldn't want to see Char unable to laugh, right?!

So here's the question! There's only one way to make Char smile, and that's to achieve the ultimate fruit he's always dreamed of: the creation of the Omniscience and Omnipotence Fruit!

And complete the replication of Logia-type Devil Fruits!

"So please, Joey Boy..."

"Give me all your strength so that I can laugh happily!"

Char opened a bottle of red wine. He gazed into the distance in the direction where Luffy lived, and while drinking the wine in his glass, he smiled and spoke.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At this moment, Lu Bao was still fast asleep in his bed. He had no idea what kind of terrifying being was targeting him! And so, the future high seas lost one Joyboy and gained one Sadboy.

The Nika Fruit trembled in fear before Char's table...

Nika: "I'm sorry, Joy Boy! I have no choice in this situation at the moment!"

As for Anan, who had always been full of confidence in himself, after discovering that Xia had obtained the Nika Fruit but still had no intention of eating him, he belatedly realized: "Could it be that His Highness Xia looks down on my power?!"

If Xia Ya could hear the Dark-Dark Fruit's inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely laugh and say, "It's not that I look down on you, it's that I've never taken you seriously!"

Dark-Dark Fruit: "I'm sorry, Lord Char, my power is insufficient to satisfy you..."

On the other side, Zou Island.

The great elephant god still wanders the sea.

Eight hundred years have passed, and Elephant has almost forgotten how to talk to people.

After all, no one in this world can understand the words of Elephant.

Therefore, Elephant is always talking to himself.

"The time we agreed on is almost here!"

"Joey Boy will come, won't he? He'll forgive me, won't he?!"
