Pirate Spring Fruit

"Lead the way, Bell."

There must be countless mechanisms hidden in a place like this.

But with Bell leading the way, Bellamy didn't need to worry about it.

Under the leadership of the inheritor, they arrived at a very wide square very smoothly.

"My God."

Although Weiwei knew the secret of the patron saint inheritance, this was her first time to come in person.

In this square, there are hundreds of huge beast statues.

Even after thousands of years, it is still lifelike.

It can be seen that the Kingdom of Alabasta must have put a lot of thought into making them.

Bell took Bellamy and the others to a huge falcon statue.

"Sir Bellamy, the secret of fruit inheritance is hidden in this statue."

"Open it."

"Please wait."

Bell nodded and worked around the statue for a while. With a "click-click" sound of the mechanism, the statue slowly split from the middle.

A secret room that could accommodate just two people was exposed to everyone.

"The previous generation of ability users brought you here before they died." Bellamy pointed to the secret room, "Then you completed the inheritance of the fruit in it?"

"Yes."

Things have developed to this point, and Bell has nothing to hide.

"The teacher handed me a sand pear and asked me to hold it in my hand."

"Then he took me into the secret room and closed his eyes here."

"After his death, the sand pear in my hand turned into a devil fruit."

These were all the secrets inherited by the Patron Saint, and Bell told Bellamy all the details he knew.

"So, this secret room is the key."

Bellamy stepped forward and touched the wall of the secret room. A feeling of weakness immediately spread throughout his body.

"It's Hailou Stone."

In fact, he always knew that when the fruit-ability user dies, new devil fruits will appear among the surrounding fruits.

However, this probability is not absolute.

If the Sea Tower Stone restrains the Devil Fruit's ability, then lock the user in a closed Sea Tower Stone room and put a fruit in it.

When the esper dies, will this fruit turn into a devil fruit?

The answer must be no.

If it were so easy to capture Devil Fruits, most of the Devil Fruits in the world would have been taken away by the World Government.

Is it difficult for the world government to build a completely enclosed sea-floor stone room?

But this secret room did this, and it used the sea floor stone sealing method.

There must be a key to this that Bellamy doesn't know about.

"Is it the type of fruit?"

He noticed that Bell specifically mentioned the fruit pear just now.

If it were just fruit, it would not be a difficulty at all.

With the power Bellamy currently possesses, in just one sentence, countless kinds of fruits will be sent to Alabasta within half a month.

"No, there must be places I haven't discovered yet."

Bellamy's intuition told him that the secret hidden here was not that simple.

Whether it was the Mirror Fruit or the Gravity Fruit, he had worked hard to get it, and he definitely couldn't just use it for experiments.

If he failed, Bellamy would vomit blood.

"Weiwei, do you know where the members of the Baroque Working Group are now?"

There is no shortage of people with fruit abilities in the Baroque Working Group, so we just happened to catch a few and bring them back for experiments.

"I know a few, Sir Bellamy. Do I need to take you there now?"

"Drake, go bring me back. I want to live."

"Just a moment, Captain."

"Bell, you should go back to the city first."

"Will Crocodile launch a general attack soon? When I crack the secret here, I will drive this crocodile away."

"Then I will be waiting for your good news in the city, Sir Bellamy."

Bell didn't say anything. He knew that what Bellamy cared about most now was definitely the secret of the Patron Saint, not Alabasta.

After they left, Bellamy looked at the secret room and gradually fell into deep thought.

"The moment the first bite of a Devil Fruit is taken, the eater will gain abilities."

“The rest will become useless garbage.”

This is a secret that few people know.

Most people who have obtained the Devil Fruit wish they could swallow the fruit right down to the skin, for fear that they would not fully obtain their powers.

But in fact, even if only a very small part of the fruit is eaten, the eater will gain full power.

There won't be any negative effects just because you only eat a little bit.

The pulp is just a form of expression, and the power of Devil Fruit does not come from it.

If you have a deep enough understanding of the Dark Fruit's abilities, you will know that the Devil Fruit's abilities basically come from the devil within it.

Blackbeard once said personally that the most powerful thing about the Dark Fruit is the entity that can capture espers.

Judging from the external appearance, the esper has only temporarily lost the fruit ability, which looks very similar to encountering the sea tower stone.

But in fact, it was the devil caught in the body by the Dark Fruit.

The acquisition of the fruit's ability is exactly the acquisition of the devil.

The moment the devil fruit is eaten, the devil enters the body of the eater.

This brings about all kinds of strange abilities, and a curse that prevents those with abilities from swimming.

So, does this demon have a will of its own?

Can this demon be observed?

Can the human soul control this demon 100%?

Bellamy had no way of knowing these secrets, but there was one person who definitely knew them.

That's Vegapunk.

Everything Bellamy could think of, Vegapunk must have thought of it countless years ago.

And as the top scientist, he can also conduct various experiments on this.

The birth of the blood factor must be inextricably linked to these conjectures.

So, what is the connection between the blood factor and Devil Fruit?

After Vegapunk created the blood factor, he conducted another experiment in which he gave a weapon the fruit ability.

If there really is a demon with a certain degree of self-awareness in the Devil Fruit, then this experiment is almost impossible to succeed.

However, Vegapunk succeeded.

From this experiment, two answers can be obtained:

The first type: the devil in the fruit has no self-awareness. Even if it is a dead thing, as long as it can make the action of eating, the devil will enter it.

The second type: the demon in the fruit entered the dead thing due to the blood factor.

Bellamy preferred the second guess.

To put it another way, blood factors are actually something similar to genes, or simply genes.

The demon inside the fruit can only enter an object with genes, and then modify its genes and give it abilities.

This should be one of the biggest secrets of Devil Fruit.

"When the esper dies, the demon will leave the body of the esper. At this time, what state will it be in?"

This state is related to the secret of fruit inheritance.

If he could see the devil's true form, Bellamy would know how devil fruits lead to reincarnation.

But even the top level of knowledge cannot do this kind of thing.

What is the true nature of the devil is probably the biggest secret in the world.

"So the key is how to prevent the devil from reincarnation, but to get into the fruit in front of you."

The closed sea floor stone room should be able to play a certain role.

Special fruits may also attract demons in some way.

Will the existence of creatures with blood factors also attract demons to stop?

If these conjectures can be verified, Bellamy can be sure that the devil in the fruit must be self-aware.

"So, how to attract the devil's attention is the key!"

Bellamy looked at the statue in front of him and seemed to have thought of something.

"If it's an animal fruit, is it a lifelike statue?"

The Falcon Fruit has been passed down for thousands of years, which shows the reliability of this method.

If this guess can be confirmed, then the secret of Devil Fruit inheritance will be completely solved by Bellamy.
