Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 137 The Real Devil Fruit

"Then you mean that I also have a sleeping demon inside me?"

"yes"

"But I'm sure what I ate was a man-made devil fruit."

Vegapunk thought for a while and said:
"I have a very bold guess, you may have eaten a real devil fruit"

"But..."

Vegapunk interrupts Glenn
"Listen to me first"

"it is good"

Glenn nodded, and Vegapunk continued:
"I guess the guy who makes the devil fruit now should be the part that lacks the bloodline factor. The bloodline factor is similar to the gene. The bloodline factor of each devil fruit is unique. Do you understand the gene?"

"Understand"

"That's good. If the blood factor is missing, artificial devil fruits can't be made at all, so I can only use other things to replace it. I guess that guy should use animal genes to replace the blood factor."

"That's why the animalized parts of those man-made devil fruit users are all very ordinary animals?"

"Yeah, I think that's why it has such a high death rate"

"Then what's going on with me?"

Speaking of Glenn's animalized arm, Vegapunk said:

"This is also the reason why I speculate that what you ate is a real devil fruit, because your ability is obviously a phantom beast, and phantom beasts are animals that don't exist, so the person who made the devil fruit couldn't make it no matter what Produce a devil fruit with your abilities"

Glenn thought about it. His ability is obviously related to fire dragons. As far as he knows, there seems to be such a creature in the Pirate World. In the original book, Luffy and the others met one in Punk Hazard, so he said:

"There are fire dragons in this world, right? As far as I know, there is one in Punk Hazard. Could it be that someone extracted its gene to make my devil fruit?"

Vegapunk nods

"Punk Hazard does have one, and that one was artificially created by me, but even if someone extracts its gene, it is not easy to make a devil fruit, because the stronger the creature, the stronger the gene, the more powerful it is. It is difficult to control, and it is even more difficult to make a devil fruit, and as far as I know from those colleagues at the time, no one has the ability to make its gene into a devil fruit, so I still tend to my previous guess.”

"That's it"

Glenn nodded, but it was still hard for him to believe that what he ate was a real devil fruit, so he said:
"But I don't think Jack and Kaido are so stupid as to confuse a real devil fruit with a man-made devil fruit, and the one I ate looks a bit weird, but overall it looks like a man-made devil fruit "

"This is about the rebirth of the Devil Fruit. You know that there is only one ability in the world, right? A new Devil Fruit will be born only when the previous ability user dies."

"I know that"

"Then do you know how devil fruits are reborn?"

"unclear"

"There are many ways for the rebirth of a devil fruit. It may appear anywhere in the world out of thin air, it may grow on a certain tree, or it may even appear in the sea. In short, there are all kinds of ways of their rebirth, and there is one way I call it for parasitism"

"Parasite? What do you mean?"

"It means that the ability of the devil fruit resides on an existing fruit, and then transforms it into a real devil fruit, and the artificial devil fruit is also a kind of fruit in essence, isn't it?"

Glenn looked astonished, he seemed to understand what Vegapunk meant
"You mean a real Devil Fruit reborn on top of an artificial Devil Fruit?"

"yes"

Glenn is a little hard to accept, but thinking about it, he can travel to the world of pirates and occupy this body. It seems that what Vegapunk said is understandable, but why can only part of his body be turned into a beast? Glenn Confused, he asked:

"Then why can I only transform part of my body into a beast? According to what you said, if I eat a real devil fruit, I should be able to transform into three stages like other capable users."

"I think this may be because the person who made the artificial devil fruit made the fruit look neither like a devil fruit nor like a normal fruit, so the devil fruit was not completely parasitic, and only showed part of its power, causing The sleeping power in your body is much more than the manifesting power, even so much that you can no longer awaken these powers by yourself, you can only wake them up through external forces."

"By external force, do you mean those hearts and rambo balls I ate?"

"That's right, it's just that the blue wave ball is temporary, but the heart is permanent. I believe that as long as you eat enough hearts of flame creatures, or give you enough time, you will definitely become normal." The same as the devil fruit ability users”

Glenn nodded, it turned out to be the case, and asked again:

"Then do you have any way to speed up the awakening of the sleeping power in my body?"

"The only way I can think of is to use the awakening liquid to forcibly awaken the power in your body, but the probability of success is not high"

"If I fail, I will also become like those jailor beasts in the city of advancement?"

"yes"

"That's okay"

Glenn thought about it, even three rambo balls can make him lose his mind, let alone awakening fluid, he doesn't want to become mentally handicapped like a jailer beast

"Then I can't help, maybe you can go to Punk Hazard and eat the heart of that dragon"

"Didn't you make that, does it matter if I kill it?"

"It doesn't matter, I won't go back to Punk Hazard anyway, just kill it"

"Okay, I'll try it, thank you."

Then Glenn left the laboratory and returned to his room. The room next door to Glenn's room is Zefa's room. As soon as Glenn opened the door, Zefa came out of the room when he heard the noise, and hurriedly asked Glenn:
"What's the matter? Did Dr. Vegapunk help you?"

"It is possible"

"What does it mean? Is there any? Does he help you improve your fruit ability?"

"No, he can't help it"

"How is it possible? Even Dr. Vegapunk can't do anything? Glenn, you better not go to Dressrosa, it's too dangerous"

"It's okay, although he can't help me improve my strength directly, but he provided me with a path to improve my strength. I will try what he said before going to Dressrosa."

Zefa breathed a sigh of relief
"Really? That's okay, I won't persuade you too much, you should be careful when the time comes"

"Okay, when are we going back to the Navy headquarters?"

"In a few days, Dr. Vegapunk said he would help me adjust the mechanical arm again"

"it is good"

A few days later, Vegapunk finished debugging Zefa's mechanical arm. During this period, Glenn and Zefa discussed several times. Zefa's use of the mechanical arm became more and more proficient. These days, Glenn I've bumped into bears a few times, but they haven't had any conflicts.

After that, Zefa took Glenn back to the Navy headquarters
