Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Not only does the Devil Fruit sound stronger than his, but it's also stronger than him in terms of interfering with and transforming wavelengths.

The opponent can do this without even using the Rumble Ball's potion...

Now it's safe to say that Chopper is confirmed.

The opponent's state is indeed related to the transformation wavelength of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users; more accurately, it represents a deeper level of development.

This person really is a monster, isn't he?

Rocks asked Chopper, "Was that enhanced state you were just in, due to some special energy?"

Chopper looked puzzled: "Energy? What energy?"

Then, as if realizing something, Chopper said, "I don't know if that's the energy you're talking about. When I take the Rumble Ball, a medicinal effect appears in my body."

"With this medicinal power present, I can control the transformation fluctuations of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, which will cause other transformation forms to appear."

"However, after taking the second Lambeth, the drug's effects become very strong, making it uncontrollable; taking the third drug causes its effects to flow into the brain, pushing me into a complete berserk state..."

He could only sense that power when he ate a Rumble Ball.

He naturally regarded this power as the "medicinal effect" of the Rumble Ball.

It is also because of the "medicinal power" that he is able to use other transformation forms.

Could this power not be the effect of medicine, but rather the "energy" the other party mentioned?

"The drug's effects reaching the brain?"

Rocks counted on his fingers and pondered, "Can you only sense the 'potency' of the medicine if you take the Rumble Ball?"

Chopper nodded: "I couldn't feel it without taking the Rumble Ball."

"If that's the case..."

Lox thought his guess was probably correct: "The 'potency' you mentioned is very likely what I know as 'energy,' or at least there are similarities."

"It's just that you can't perceive it."

"It was the effects of the Rumble Ball that made you perceive the presence of energy..."

Lox speculated, "Is it because of this energy that the 'demon' residing in your body has awakened or become active, causing you to go berserk?"

Xing Bie Mo

Users of the Devil Fruit all have a "demon" residing within their bodies.

Animal-type Devil Fruits possess some degree of their own "consciousness".

Sufficient energy might awaken or activate the "demon consciousness."

When the mind and body are unable to control the "devilish consciousness," a berserk state may occur.

Could this be a precursor to an "awakening of abilities"?

The effects of the Rumble Ball caused the "ability awakening" to occur prematurely.

However, since the instability is caused by the medication, it can be managed as long as it is suppressed.

That way, one can avoid "awakening failure" and becoming a prisoner beast similar to those that advance into the city?

So it is said that...

Isn't the Rumble Ball a drug that can accelerate the "awakening" of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users... or rather, a drug that allows Zoan-type Devil Fruit users to adapt to "power awakening" in advance?

Chapter 166 Wings Grown from His Back! What is this? Partial Tailed Beast Transformation?

"Huh? A demon? A demon resides within me!?"

Chopper's focus is also quite unusual.

All I heard was the sound of a "demon" residing within my body...

He suddenly panicked: "Is there still a demon inside me? How do I expel it? Like in the stories, holding a cross and..."

Locus: "..."

"You've probably heard the rumor that all Devil Fruit users have a 'demon' residing within them, which is the source of their abilities, right?"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Chopper was naturally aware of this rumor.

But he used to think it was just a trick on children...

Chopper then said, "So it was because of that Rumble Ball drug... that energy affected the Devil Fruit's demon, that I went berserk?"

Lox shrugged: "This is just my speculation; I don't know if it's true or not."

Others cannot see the existence of the "Demon," but Rocks can see the existence of the "Blackwing Demon."

Perhaps this is what sets him apart from other Zoan-type ability users?

He can see the "demon" residing within his body and can also sense "energy" that other ability users cannot perceive.

Lockes said, "However, such things can be mastered through training."

"You may not be able to sense the existence of energy in the future, and you will no longer need to use the Rumble Ball to master various transformation forms."

In the later parts of the original story, Chopper no longer needed Rumble Balls for his transformations, except when he transformed into a monster.

Does this mean that Chopper will also be able to sense the existence of energy on his own in the future?

Rocks also has another problem—

Is "energy" something that all Devil Fruit users possess, or is it simply something they cannot perceive?

After all, the Devil Fruit itself can be transformed into energy and devoured by Rocks and the Blackwing Hollow.

Is the process by which Devil Fruit users develop Devil Fruits the process of controlling the "energy" inherent in the Devil Fruit itself?

After reaching a certain point, the Devil Fruit will awaken?

I've never heard of Logia or Paramecia type users failing to awaken and becoming monsters without self-awareness.

Is it because Logia and Paramecia type Devil Fruits do not have "devil consciousness"?

Why is the animal family so special?

Is it because it's an "animal" type?

This statement is a bit hasty...

Oh well.

Lox didn't want to dwell on it too much; whatever happens, happens...

Thinking too much will give you a headache!

Perhaps it's just that I, and the Blackwing Demon Fruit, are a bit special, that allows me to transform the Demon Fruit into energy and devour it?

What Chopper sensed wasn't energy, just the effects of the drug. His rampage... well, let's just say he was high...

All you need to know is that the Rumble Ball is useful to you.

Don't overthink it!

Upon hearing this, Chopper's eyes lit up: "Is it possible to do such a thing?"

"No matter what the ability is, as long as it can be developed, there is no reason why it cannot be controlled."

Lox laughed and said, "I also mastered the ethereal state through cultivation."

"This is the process of developing the Devil Fruit. Once the abilities are developed to a certain level, the power of 'awakening' will be unleashed."

"The Devil Fruit has awakened?"

Chopper pondered, "So, it means even stronger abilities, right?"

Lox was speechless: "That's not wrong..."

"So my Human-Human Fruit, Human Form Awakening, can make others 'like a human'? Uh... that sounds pretty weak..."

Chopper recalled what Lockes had said a few days ago, and then he said dejectedly, "It's absolutely impossible to turn someone into an ordinary person with no strength to restrain a chicken, as you said before, right?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Lox was just having a wild idea before.

Who knows what the Human Fruit, with its awakened human form, will look like?

Leaving aside other matters...

Oda has never described in detail whether the characters have awakened.

White beard, beasts, old lady...

Have these people awakened their abilities?

If we're talking about specific characteristics, there's probably only one middle-aged woman with relatively obvious features.

It can extract the souls of people it fears from any given area, similar to some characteristics of Paramecia-type awakening.

Whitebeard, Kaido...

The version is abandoned!

Chopper fell into deep thought: "..."

"Hey Chopper, give me another Rumble Ball."

It is very likely that the "medicine's" effects have worn off, and Lox has returned to normal.

However, Rocks felt that the Rumble Ball could allow people to experience "ability awakening" ahead of time, so he naturally wanted to give it a try...

Rocks said to Chopper, "I want to see if I will change anything after taking three Rumble Balls."

"no!"

Chopper shook his head frantically.

His tone was very serious: "Although you seem to have mastered this ability to interfere with and distort wavelengths, things have gotten out of control."

"If you continue, you'll go berserk!"

"Don't worry, I won't go berserk. The 'demon' inside me is still dormant and won't wake up so soon..."

Lox looked inside the Blackwing Great Void.

Several months have passed.

The Great Demon remained curled into a ball, absorbing the energy stored within Lox's body.

It had already absorbed the energy transformed from two Demon Fruits, but the Great Demon was still in a deep slumber.

Fortunately, after the two Devil Fruits were "fed" down, the Great Demon's energy absorption rate slowed down considerably.

This will allow Rocks to break free from his "competitive eating" state.

I just don't know when she will wake up?

Anyway, it really panicked Rocks...

The longer the slumber lasts, the more energy the Great Demon needs.

When it awakens, it will be even stronger...

This has left Rocks feeling rather dismayed.

However, the sleeping demon is "harmless".

The "rampage" was caused by the "demon" within the ability user's body, and the sleeping Great Demon could not possibly affect Rocks.

Therefore, Rocks wasn't worried that the Rumble Ball would cause him to "go berserk"...

Chopper: "?"

What did the other person mean by that?

In the end, Chopper couldn't refuse Rocks and gave him a Rumble Ball.

Chopper said nervously, "I...I've already warned you, I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Rocks reassured Chopper.
