One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

In the evening, Anya, whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten by Eva, returned to her dormitory.

Robin was also shocked to see such a terrible sight.

"Brother Anya? What happened to you? Were you attacked?" Little Robin asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, just an injury from practicing Observation Haki," Anya waved her hand.

"What do you mean, it's nothing? Let me see, I'll bandage you up." Robin's tone was stern, and he adopted a serious posture.

That's right. Ever since Robin learned that Anya was ten years old, he has always regarded Anya as his older brother!

As the younger sister, it's only natural that I should discipline my older brother properly!

"It's just a minor injury." Anya said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

However, Robin's technique was quite good. With the help of the Flower-Flower Fruit, several arms sprouted around Anya, and she easily treated all of Anya's wounds.

"That's good enough, hehe." Robin smiled as she looked at her masterpiece.

"Thank you, Robin-chan."

The next day, Anya got up early as usual.

However, starting today, it seems that a large figure has joined the team he is leading.

Oh, it's a bear.

Indeed, he should work out more. After all, with such a big upper body and such small legs, it's obvious that he doesn't train his legs even when he works out!

Oh, and in the future there's also a huge stomach that trains legs but not the body; the two combined will be like two crispy fried chickens.

After Anya finished swinging her sword, she let out a deep breath. Xiong, who had been observing from the side, then asked, "Do you need me to help you expel all the pain?"

Anya lay on the ground, sweat pouring down her face, looking at that tall figure.

"No need. If training doesn't involve pain, then it's meaningless. Training is not just about tempering your body, but also about tempering your will."

If all the pain is bounced away each time, wouldn't I be screaming in agony when injured in future battles? How could I fight like that?

Anya looked at the bear and said seriously, "Bear, you may think that not feeling pain is a good thing, but I'm telling you, you're wrong."

If a person is free from pain, then he will not know that he is injured, and he will die without realizing it, without suffering.

If a person cannot feel pain, their spirit and will will collapse.

Your abilities are meant for first aid, not for frequent use in everyday life!

After listening to Anya's words, Xiong fell silent again.

So pain isn't entirely useless after all...?

"Bear, I need to ask you for a favor," Anya said calmly, lying on the ground.

"What is it?"

"I want to know how you developed your Devil Fruit ability!"

Yes, Anya was genuinely curious about how Kuma had developed his Devil Fruit ability to such an incredible level, even though it was just a Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit.

The most basic ability is just to deflect physical attacks, but Kuma has taken this fruit to an extreme, making it able to compress air, teleport, and even deflect abstract concepts like pain!

Obviously, when asked this question, Xiong also fell silent for a while.

Then the bear slowly said, "I don't quite understand how I developed the fruit, but if I had to say, it might be related to willpower and expectation."

I couldn't bear to see the villagers suffering from illness, so I wanted to try to expel the pain from their bodies. After repeated attempts, I was able to actually do it.

At God Valley, I couldn't bear to see so many people die so tragically, so I thought I'd try to send them flying to safety, and then I could do it.

After hearing these words, Anya was a little confused. This, this is the power of thought I'm talking about!

You think you can do it, so you can do it? That's ridiculous! Can't you be a little more scientific?

Oh, you've already time-traveled, and you're still talking about the science of trade?

So Anya wanted to try developing the Float-Float Fruit's power, but how could she develop it? It only granted the ability to eliminate gravity and have absolute control over objects.

If there is any fatal flaw, it is that it is extremely afraid of storms. In the event of a strong hurricane, the Float-Float Fruit will be very difficult to control.

The Golden Lion lost to Roger back then because of a storm.

But the essence of wind is simply the movement of air; if we could stop the movement of particles in the air…

No, how could that be possible? Putting aside whether it's even controllable, the prerequisite for making an object float is that it needs to be touched!

Wait, it seems like that's possible?

Anya suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Devil Fruit abilities can awaken!

Furthermore, the awakened Paramecia-type Devil Fruit ability can affect the surrounding matter!

Doflamingo's String-String Fruit allows him to assimilate surrounding buildings into strings for attacks.

So, once the Float Fruit awakens, wouldn't the condition of "touching" be eliminated?

"Kuma, has your Devil Fruit power awakened?" Anya suddenly stood up and asked.

"Devil Fruit power awakening? I...I don't know, I've never heard of the concept of Devil Fruit power awakening before." Kuma shook his head in confusion.

Anya sighed. Indeed, Kuma had always been an ordinary priest, and he hadn't focused much on developing his Devil Fruit ability for combat.

Not to mention the concept of awakening.

Anya had no choice but to give up. After finishing her meal, she went to Eva to practice her Observation Haki.

Clearly, he had been beaten up again and still had no understanding of Observation Haki.

Anya felt that his training speed was still too slow. Apart from the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, his current close combat strength was even inferior to that of a mere soldier.

However, in the world of One Piece, there is actually another way to grow stronger quickly: engage in life-or-death battles with the strong.

For example, Luffy only learned the basic three types of Haki in two years. After being beaten up by his two teachers, Katakuri and Kaido, he immediately gained Ryuo, Conqueror's Haki, and even awakened his Devil Fruit.

Of course, the risk is also very high, namely, the possibility of being killed outright.

Before Luffy awakened his Devil Fruit, he was practically on the verge of death. However, the life force brought by the awakening of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit forcibly pulled him back from the brink of death.

However, Anya isn't a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. If she gets killed, she's truly dead. Even if her Devil Fruit awakens, it won't be of any use.

"Alas, it seems the path of cultivation is still long and arduous."

Anya collapsed onto the bed, so exhausted from the day that he could barely lift his arms.

Robin, returning from the library, saw Anya with another injured face and shook his head helplessly.

"Anya! What happened to you again! Look at you, you're covered in injuries, and you haven't even showered, you stink!"

Robin, with a look of disgust, used her Flower-Flower Fruit powers to forcibly carry him into the bathroom and warned Anya not to come out until he was clean!

Having no other choice, Anya had no choice but to follow Robin's orders...

This isn't saving a sweet little girl; it's clearly saving a heartless, ungrateful child.

Anya muttered to herself.

But then Robin's voice suddenly came out.

"Anya, what did you just say?"

Anya suddenly stopped undressing and then let out a piercing scream.

"Robin! What are you doing eavesdropping?!"

"Heh, if I hear anything else, I'll..."

Anya was dumbfounded. How could Robin use the Flower-Flower Fruit's power to eavesdrop on him while he was taking a bath?! What a pervert!

But it seems Robin was always a cunning and ruthless person; is this a revelation of her true nature...?
