The three remained silent, sensing the newfound power within their bodies.

Navy Nock stretched his shoulders, the sharpness that emanated from the swordsman Nock still lingering in his limbs. He had never held a knife before, but now he felt that he could cut something with a casual swing.

Meanwhile, swordsman Nock closed his eyes, savoring the strength he had never possessed before. The muscles honed by the Marine Headquarters and the natural arm strength of the fish-men were making up for the deficiencies in his body; the body that had been overdrawn over the years was finally being replenished.

After a long silence, Navy Nock spoke first.

"You guys said..." He paused, carefully choosing his words, "that the three of us have all traveled to the world of One Piece?"

Fishman Nok nodded: "Fishman Island, the world of One Piece."

Swordsman Nok nodded: "Wano Country, same."

The three looked at each other.

Navy Nock frowned: "I initially thought it was just a coincidence, after all, it's a time-travel story, so traveling to different worlds is normal. But all three are from the pirate world..."

silence.

Swordsman Nock slowly began, "Two are coincidences, three..."

He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Three is probably no longer a coincidence.

Naval Nock stood up and paced a few steps in the void. His thoughts raced—simultaneous transmigration, Duke virus, soul splitting, simultaneous transmigration...

"If it's a genuine rectal proctology procedure," Fishman Nok chimed in, "then we must have traveled to a different world."

"Yes." Navy Nock nodded. "But what about us? We're all in the pirate world."

"Parallel universe."

"We might just be that kind of existence, in the same world, at different points in time, with different identities."

Naval Nok and Fishman Nok exchanged a glance, digesting this speculation.

"So..." Navy Nock said slowly, "the Nocks who enter this space next will also be from the pirate world?"

"And there's this mechanism where we can only complement each other and not stack our combat power..." Navy Nock slowly began, organizing his thoughts as he spoke. "If we return to our respective worlds, we only need to hone our strongest abilities. For example, I can continue to hone my physique and learn the Six Styles, you can continue to develop your Fishman talent and find a way to learn Fishman Karate, and he can continue to refine his swordsmanship. Then, through sharing, each of us can acquire the strongest abilities of the other two."

"That's..." Fishman Nok mused.

"Double the efficiency," Navy Knock continued. "The three of us, each specializing in a different area, have effectively tripled our training efficiency, and this is just the beginning."

Swordsman Nok raised his head.

"Once the next Nok joins," Navy Nok continued, "we can specialize him in a different area based on his strengths, such as Observation Haki or Armament Haki... and so on."

"With each additional person, there's one more area of ​​specialization," Fishman Nok chimed in. "After sharing, everyone's weaknesses will be addressed, and their strengths will be amplified."

"There's even the possibility of Nocs with special physical constitutions like mine, such as Mink Nocs, Lunaria Nocs, and Giant Nocs!"

The three looked at each other, their eyes gradually brightening.

"Speaking of which, perhaps we could also mention Noc who has eaten a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruits," Marine Nock continued, picking up where Fishman Nock left off. "By the way, that's a question: what would happen if one of us ate a Devil Fruit?"

The other two Knoks were taken aback.

"The sharing mechanism is to fill gaps, to share what we don't have..." Navy Nock continued, as if organizing his thoughts, "What about Devil Fruit abilities? Can they be shared?"

"If they can be shared, then if one person eats it, everyone can use it? Will the side effects of Devil Fruits be shared?"

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any side effects," Swordsman Nock pondered, otherwise it would violate the mechanism of sharing the strongest abilities in this space.

"Then there's only one question," Navy Noc paused, "A conflict between Devil Fruits? Will there still be one? If two Devil Fruit powers share the same ability, will it explode?"

The three fell into deep thought.

This is a good question.

This is also a question that must be clarified.

In the world of One Piece, the ironclad rule of Devil Fruits is: a person can only eat one, otherwise they will become unable to swim, and two will cause them to explode and die.

But what if the soul splits into multiple independent individuals?

Each individual exists in a different parallel universe, a different timeline, and a different body...

If one of them eats the Flame-Flame Fruit and the other eats the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—

What happens when they meet in the anal space and share their abilities?

Does it mean that flames and lightning can erupt from everyone's palms, turning them into walking natural disasters?

Or was it a conflict between two abilities within the same soul that caused the shared "Super Noc" to explode on the spot?

Or perhaps, because the bodies remain independent, abilities can only be effective within their own worlds and cannot be used across dimensions?

"I don't know," the swordsman Nock said, his voice calm, "but it's worth a try."

Fishman Nok grinned: "Anyone want to try?"

The three looked at each other.

Then they all looked away simultaneously.

Of course we should try, but nobody wants to be the first guinea pig—what if it explodes?

Although this possibility is not very high, otherwise all the new Nocs might become bombs, and this space-sharing mechanism would be almost useless.

"We'll talk about it later." Navy Nock coughed lightly. "Once we have more people, we can find someone lucky... or someone who's already in a bad situation. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try."

Perhaps... Naval Nock felt his morality had declined, and quickly began to mentally chant the sutra.

Fishman Nok nodded in deep agreement.

Swordsman Nock didn't speak, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, which could be considered as agreement.

...

After a brief silence, Nock spoke.

"Ha, I wonder when the next Noc will come, and whether he has any special abilities. It would be best if he had a Devil Fruit."

Before the words were even finished, a sudden realization dawned on all three of them.

They froze simultaneously, and after a moment, their expressions changed.

"...I see." Navy Nock spoke first, his voice somewhat complicated.

Nok the Murloc narrowed his eyes: "Reputation? So, it means there's no point in the three of us just sitting here waiting; we have to go out and cause trouble?"

Swordsman Nok remained silent, his fingers gently stroking the hilt of his sword.

It's clearly stated—

The arrival of the next Noc requires the accumulation of prestige. Whenever the reputation of the three of them increases significantly in their respective worlds, it will become a kind of "fuel" to stimulate the mysterious space to lock onto and pull in the next version of themselves more quickly.

The more reputation you gain, the more energy you accumulate, and the faster the next Noc will arrive.

With each additional Noc, the shared capabilities increase, making everyone stronger.

This is a loop.

The three of them understood each other without saying a word.

"Alright, let's call it a day." Navy Nock stretched his shoulders. "Go back to battle, raise your reputation, take down one of yourselves, and maybe everything will be clear when we meet again."

The three of them exchanged one last glance.

Then--

Consciousness dissipated.

The next moment, Navy Nock's vision returned to his own body.
