One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Facing life and death, they emerge from the brink of death and awaken their unique Devil Fruit abilities.

From then on, Kahn no longer had to worry about his lifespan.

Chapter 244 The Hive Sea: Battle at the Summit of the Ocean (Part 2)

Kahn broke through that barrier and stepped into a completely new realm of fruition.

Let this field go from being known to being put into practice and gaining true knowledge.

Kahn had already found the direction for his own awakening.

He is someone who has died once before, and the direction of his Devil Fruit power awakening is immortality, which can also be called mastering life.

As long as the spirit lives on, the physical body can never die.

Moreover, his basic strength has officially entered the ranks of top-tier powerhouses.

From this day forward, he will be one of the highest points of the ocean.

The most terrifying top-tier powerhouse in the ocean.

none of them!

"I've spent so many years preparing, and there were already signs of awakening during the God Valley period. If I still need to awaken in a desperate struggle, then I'm really too useless. But is this considered Devil Fruit awakening? It seems that the ability can only affect myself..."

Kahn felt an endless flow of life force, as if he were connected to this world, with life elements that were almost inexhaustible.

The physical body has no limit to its lifespan. Unless one's spirit cannot withstand the torment of eternal life and one's will dissipates, let alone death, no one can completely kill oneself.

Compared to Kaido, one of the Four Emperors and the future strongest one-on-one fighters on land, sea, and air.

He is the one who is immortal.

It's equivalent to a different kind of immortality.

"you?"

Roger scrutinized Kahn, who had suddenly emerged from another dimension. Able to hear all things, he sensed a different state, a completely different life form. Puzzled and astonished, he exclaimed, "You've successfully awakened your Devil Fruit… No! This isn't a true Devil Fruit awakening! How did you do that?!"

It is the awakening of the fruit, yet it is not the awakening of the fruit.

How could anyone possibly achieve that?

Newgate, Shiki, and the others awakened their Devil Fruits early on, which allowed them to achieve the fame of their fruits and turn what were originally ordinary Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit and Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit into top-tier fruits on the sea.

There is no strongest fruit, only the strongest person.

If there is a Devil Fruit that is called the strongest in the system, it must be because that Devil Fruit encountered the strongest person and made a name for itself that resounds throughout the world.

Is the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit truly the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?

If it weren't for Newgate, who was recognized as the strongest man in the entire ocean in the future and made such a great name for himself, would he still have such a great reputation?

Blackbeard unilaterally believes that the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit is the strongest Logia-type fruit.

This idea wasn't even universally accepted by the entire ocean.

That was just his assumption.

To be honest, what is universally acknowledged is not necessarily the truth or the correctness.

"You can only control your own life, which is a semi-awakened state. To truly awaken, you need to control other lives."

Kahn muttered to himself, "I understand now. No one has ever been able to truly unleash the power of this fruit. There has never been a state of awakening for this kind of fruit. It's like I told Kaido, and he successfully awakened his fruit, able to break through that power limit without any bottleneck, and has always been one step ahead of Katakuri."

"What Paramecia-type Forest Fruit? This fruit can be called the Paramecia-type Life Fruit, surpassing the Paramecia-type Lush Fruit and even the Logia-type Forest Fruit. In the future, it will surpass all fruits and achieve the reputation of being the strongest fruit."

"Because I am the owner of this fruit!"

Devil Fruits and their owners complement each other.

From now on, the Devil Fruit that Kahn possesses will be recorded again, just like the Devil Fruit that Kaido possessed, which was originally considered to be an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but evolved into a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

He's not like Luffy, an idiot who knows nothing and just pushes his way through with sheer willpower and brute force. When he can't win, he explodes, gets stronger, and gets a cheat code, blessed by fate, defeating one powerful enemy after another.

He had long ago determined the direction in which the fruit would awaken.

Unless you have a special physique, eating the fruit won't give you amazing defensive power. On the contrary, it will give you an advantage in recovery. If your recovery is strong enough to the extreme, then you will be immortal and your physical body will be indestructible.

We have been working towards this goal.

Eight years of research.

The Valley of the Gods had already shown signs of awakening.

Kahn had already achieved his research results a few years ago, and the answer to that result was: to feel real death in the last moment of life.

An extremely crazy and unbelievable answer.

In order to achieve this effect.

To achieve the best results.

He created this battlefield, summoned his greatest rival Roger, activated his Blood Burning state, and accelerated the depletion of his life force, constantly feeling that he was heading towards his end and death.

Perhaps he will die on the battlefield at any moment.

The reason is the decline of vitality.

Even he felt tormented by the process of driving himself to his death without leaving any consequences.

The chances of successfully entering this new field are over 90%.

I'm not 100% sure.

That's why he gave Lena advance instructions, to be cautious about any possible accidents—that's what a normal person would do, right?

I never expected that the awakening would still be a half-finished product.

If I hadn't died once, I'm afraid no one could have achieved true awakening. If I hadn't died once, I wouldn't even have been able to achieve my current semi-awakened state.

No wonder this fruit has been buried for so long.

Although he was not fully awakened and unable to control life outside of himself, Kahn was already very satisfied.

At least he had control over his own destiny.

There's no need to worry about its lifespan.

Don't worry about what to do with the people you care about.

No one can kill themselves.

To control the lives of others... that kind of awakening of the fruit is too exaggerated. Wouldn't that mean he himself becomes the law of life, and could be called a god who controls life?

"The plans made during this period have almost all been realized, in the way I wanted."

Kahn felt a sense of complete relaxation, "But I can't relax too much yet, I haven't killed Wald yet!"

and many more……

Just then, the monster, which hadn't been killed from beginning to end and was always looking for an opportunity, launched a silent attack at a moderate pace, using a special way of using Observation Haki to shield his Observation Haki.

There's no escaping it.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, as if the two of them had left the crowd and entered another dimension.

"I don't know what ability you awakened, or why you didn't die?"

Roger appeared out of Kahn's back as if from a mirage and said, "But sending Charlotte Linlin to deal with Wald was the stupidest decision you ever made."

"..."

His decision was criticized as stupid by the most irrational, capricious, and mindless person on the high seas who relied solely on strength.

Kahn felt disoriented.

This explains why so many of Roger's former rivals were so furious.

That's infuriating!

"I don't understand why you're still so confident at a time like this. Who gave you that confidence?"

Kahn sheathed the dragon's roar that had blocked the previous attack, and changed his sword-wielding stance. "Although I really want to kill Wald right now, our battle has only just begun. Let's fight."

"Do not."

Roger slowly sheathed his sword, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said, "Our battle is over."

"?"

Kahn's pupils dilated slightly.

Just as he sensed something was wrong, a sharp pain shot through his body, instantly engulfing him. With a loud "poof!", a large amount of blood gushed out, splashing out like an irregular fountain, staining his entire body red.

"It seems like I've got it right, but it also seems like I haven't."

Kahn's chest was almost cleaved open; to put it simply, he was almost cut in two. Despite blocking the opponent's attack, he still suffered such a serious injury.

He didn't understand.

The underlying principle is not yet apparent.

This move is somewhat similar to Brook's move.

Unfortunately, Brook, who could easily take on a group of people with one hand, was taken down by Thor with two hammer blows a few years ago.

Brook's strength is roughly equivalent to two hammer blows from Thor.

There's no way around it; Brook lacks conviction and ambition, and spends his days slacking off. It would be a miracle if he could improve his strength. When fighting against someone of his own level, his skills are far inferior to Ryoma's, and the gap in strength is enormous.

If it weren't for his musical talent, Kahn would have kicked this freeloader out long ago.

"Wow~ Hahaha!"

Roger laughed loudly, "Jabbar, Rayleigh... did you see that? I avenged you! No matter what, I will go with the surviving comrades to find the final island and help us all see the answer!"

What are you so happy about?

Kahn didn't understand, he really didn't understand. If he had suffered such serious injuries before, he probably would have thought he was going to die, given that he had little strength left to live.

but now……

To Roger's astonishment and bewilderment, his opponent's life force instantly returned to perfect condition, though he seemed slightly mentally exhausted.

"If the pain is retained, the mind will be somewhat depleted."
