Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"What fruits do we have that we can use now?"

On the Zhanye detachment warship, Skyler was holding a strange purple fruit in her hand with a very strange smile on her face, but her question made Nurkic a little confused.

Although he didn't understand what his superior meant, Nurkic quickly replied: "All we have left now is a superhuman Stare fruit.

Of course, the department had assigned us a fruit before due to Drake's incident, but we had never received it. "

"The Staring Fruit? Was it collected during the previous cleanup of the Don Quixote family?"

Skyler asked, and Nurkic nodded. In fact, several Devil Fruits were confiscated at that time, but Zhanye detachment did not keep all of them. Except for the Jinjin Fruit, only the Stare Fruit was left behind.

The rest of the fruits were all handed over to the headquarters. At that time, Skyler named the Jinjin Fruit to keep. When Nurkic asked if he needed to keep other fruits, Skyler just said that he didn’t want the animal type.

At that time, there were only two non-animal Devil Fruits left in the Don Quixote family, and the others were taken by their members. Of course, those with Devil Fruit abilities of the Don Quixote family were advancing at this time. City to serve sentence.

After hearing Nurkic's confirmation, Skyler thought for a moment, and then said: "Tell the headquarters to transport our fruit.

By the way, ask Deborah if there is any way to change the shape of a Devil Fruit without being detected, at least... one that cannot be detected without eating it. "

Hearing this, Nurkic was even more confused. He didn't know what Skyler wanted to do, but he didn't ask immediately. After all, no matter what Skyler wanted to do, he seemed to have a prerequisite.

That is... to "facelift" the Devil Fruit. If this is not possible, then no matter what Skyler's plan is, it probably won't go smoothly, right?

"Yes, sir, let me ask Deborah first. If possible, can I contact the headquarters?"

Nurkic tried to ask, after all, if his conjecture is correct, if Devil Fruit cannot be "facelifted", then there is no need to ask for Devil Fruit from the headquarters.

Skyler nodded. Nurkic was right. After all, there seemed to be no demand for Devil Fruits in the Zhanye detachment. If anyone wanted one, they could tell Hamilton at any time.

Over the years, the Zhanye detachment has not only captured a pirate group with remaining devil fruits from the Don Quixote family, but the devil fruits have no appeal to Skyler, so they turned them over directly and distributed them to everyone. Bailey is better.

In this case, it is actually a very strange thing for the Zhanye detachment to ask the headquarters for Devil Fruit. After all, Devil Fruit is rare and precious no matter which force it is placed in.

If it was just for storage...the headquarters might not say anything about this matter, but there would inevitably be some criticisms, such as thinking that Skyler didn't trust the headquarters enough, just like big investors couldn't trust banks.

Although it was just some criticism and could not have any substantial impact on Skyler or Zhanye, as the adjutant of the Zhanye detachment, Nurkic still needed to think about the commander and the detachment.

After confirming it, Nurkic turned around and left, going to his wife to ask if Skyler's plan was possible.

Deborah did not stay at home to take care of her and Nurkic's children, but handed them over to the Lawwells. After all, Deborah's domineering energy conversion project had not been completed yet, and she did not want to give up easily.

Of course, Marine Fando can continue to conduct research if he stays at the headquarters, but... when the time comes, he will need to find some domineering and powerful people as volunteers... There are probably not many people who can meet Deborah's requirements.

Most of those people have their own military affairs and cannot cooperate with Deborah in research. Therefore, staying in the Zhanye detachment and using their husbands as the first volunteers is very helpful to Deborah's career. .

However, Deborah also suffered some bad words. For example, Nurkic aged so quickly because he consumed too much domineering energy, which led to physical depletion.

But for the sake of science... Deborah accepted these rumors, and she conducted regular physical examinations on Nurkic and found nothing abnormal.

Nurkic is getting older, on the one hand because of his age, and on the other hand...maybe because his appearance is prone to premature aging.

When Nurkic found Deborah and explained to her the requirements of Skyler, the top player, Deborah did not feel relaxed because... she had participated in some research on devil fruits.

Deborah did not let Nurkic relay it, but found Skyler herself. Because they were just affiliated, Deborah and Skyler were not really superiors and subordinates, but there was a slight difference in military rank.

When Skyler saw Deborah arriving, he waved to her and asked her to sit in the seat next to her, and then asked: "Nurkic should have told you, right? About the Devil Fruit?"

Deborah nodded and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, I would like to ask, how much do you know about Devil Fruits?"

Hearing this, Skyler was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he still said: "A kind of... prop that can change the blood factor of the user and give it special abilities?"

After hearing Skyler's answer, Deborah nodded first, then shook her head and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, what you said is right, but... it's not complete.

Devil Fruit is not entirely a prop. According to Dr. Vegapunk's research... Devil Fruit is likely to be a special existence with consciousness. "

"Ok?"

Skyler raised his eyebrows, a little confused, and Deborah did not try to show off, but said: "This sign can be best seen among animal fruits.

I previously participated in a study by Dr. Vegapunk, which was to combine inanimate objects such as swords with animal devil fruits. The result is... whether it is a weapon or other object, it will create a consciousness.

Not only the animal type, we have conducted experiments and observations on superhuman type fruits. There are some superhuman type devil fruit users who will develop skills that are very similar to the previous ones.

Even...so similar that the actions they use to activate their abilities are the same. You know, they haven't even met, which further proves the existence of consciousness in Devil Fruit.

However, this consciousness is too unstable. If a person or other animal swallows it, he or she will not even be aware that there is consciousness in the Devil Fruit.

Therefore, Devil Fruit cannot be imitated perfectly. There is more than one way to distinguish Devil Fruit, so... I am not sure whether I can achieve the result you want. "

After listening to Deborah's story, Skyler showed a "terrible" expression. She knew very little about Devil Fruits, but after she digested what Deborah told her, she frowned.

Then... asked tentatively: "If a person just reads the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, can you modify a Devil Fruit that they can't detect?"

Skyler made his needs more precise, and after Deborah heard this, she also thought about it and said, "If it's just a Devil Fruit illustrated book... then I don't think there's any problem."

In Deborah's view, Devil Fruit may not be directly imitable. After all, this is a problem that even Dr. Vegapunk would be stumped by. Before she left Pang Island, Vegapunk had not yet conquered it.

But... if it is just a disguise, then it can still be done. It is definitely not possible to directly create a fruit with the same shape, because Devil Fruit is a very special existence.

It will make everyone who sees the devil fruit have the idea of ​​possession. In everyone's eyes, the temptation brought by the devil fruit is different, but it is very similar.

That is, Devil Fruit will arouse desires in people's hearts, whether it is fame, fortune or anything else. When a Devil Fruit is placed in front of a person, this desire in his heart will be aroused.

Of course, there are many people who can resist this temptation. For example, their minds are firm enough, or they have no desire in their hearts that can make them waver.

For example, the Reed family has hidden a fruit for who knows how many years. The reason why they didn't take it until Nurkic's generation is very direct, that is, other ancestors... don't like it very much.

After all, the Reed family has been taught since childhood that strength does not need to be too much, as long as it is there, it does not have to be strong. Therefore... the temptation of power brought by the Devil Fruit is immune to the Reed family.

As for other temptations...such as tactics and talents, the Reed family are very proficient in it. They can do it on their own, so why do they need devil fruits?

If Nurkic had not been assigned to the Zhanye detachment, then this fruit might have continued to be hidden in Reed's home until an ambitious but incompetent descendant found and consumed it.

Only those whose ambitions cannot match their abilities will be tempted by Devil Fruits, but as long as their abilities are sufficient, the temptation of Devil Fruits will become inconspicuous.

For example, Deborah's eyes would still look at the dark fruit on the table from time to time, but Skyler didn't care. To her, this fruit was not as attractive as a plate of barbecue.

Of course, there are some people who will not be tempted by devil fruits, such as Ziran Dai.

But whether they are strong in ability, have no desire, or are naturally stupid, such people are only a minority after all. Most people can feel the attraction of Devil Fruits. This is the most difficult part of imitating Devil Fruits.

But if you just want to disguise the fruit and change one fruit into the shape of another fruit, it's actually not that difficult. Most people can't check it out without borrowing special tools.

And when Skyler heard Deborah say that it could be transformed, Skyler smiled and said, "Then, how long will it take for you to help me transform a fruit?"

Deborah thought for a moment and said, "Within a month, maybe. After all, appearance alone is not enough. You also have to imitate the taste of the Devil Fruit, which can only be sensed through taste and cannot be sensed through smell or retronasal smell... It’s still quite difficult.”

Skyler nodded to express his understanding. After all, the Devil Fruit is not plasticine, so it certainly cannot be directly kneaded into the desired shape, so there is a high probability that there is an extra layer covering the outside of the fruit.

Moreover, the shapes of Devil Fruits are different and irregular, so the thickness of the coverage is not expected to be too thin. Therefore, how to make people not notice abnormalities when taking them is the difficulty of giving Devil Fruit plastic surgery.

Deborah said that it could be done within a month. Skyler was still a little surprised. She personally felt that a year and a half was not unacceptable. It was beyond imagination that it could be done within a month.

"Okay, I'll do your hard work then. Study the materials first. When the devil fruit arrives, you can help me change it."

"No problem, I'll go back first. The sun is a bit dazzling on the deck."

After Deborah finished speaking, Skyler also adjusted his sunglasses and showed off his complete equipment. Deborah smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked towards the cabin.

Nurkic, who was following, saw this and said proactively: "Then I'll contact the headquarters and see what fruits are available."

"Hmm... By the way, if there are fruits that are particularly weak or particularly funny, priority will be given."

Skyler showed a very bastard smile. Even Nurkic, who has followed Skyler for many years, shuddered at this time. Good guy, I don’t know which lucky person will receive this from Skyler. "Gift".

Nurkic contacted the headquarters to select the inventory of the headquarters, and Deborah also started the transformation of Devil Fruit, but her work had to be interrupted after a week.

Because her first experiment failed, she developed a special food-grade substance that perfectly replicated the taste of Devil Fruit, but it had huge flaws.

That is...being able to smell through the sense of smell.

For a time, various speculations arose among the detachment. Some people suspected that the toilet pipe had exploded, but after inspection, it was found that the pipe was intact, not blocked, and not damaged.

The few who knew about it, such as Skyler and Nurkic, had to choose to return home so that the navy would not investigate further.

After returning to the G-5 branch, Deborah and Leon borrowed a super-large-displacement range hood and made some magical modifications before discharging the smell into the sea.

According to the report of the submarine team, after this day, there were almost no "original residents" in the waters of the G-5 branch.

Another week passed, and the headquarters finally delivered the Devil Fruit chosen by Skyler.

As the person in charge of transporting this devil fruit, Tina, the leader of the Black Threshold Force, felt a little... strange when she saw Skyler with a smile on his face.

Because the Zhanye detachment applied to the headquarters for a fruit that has been stored in the headquarters for a hundred years and has not been chosen by anyone - the superhuman-type Yaya fruit.

This is a fruit that allows the user to be armed with teeth all over his body, but...that's it. There are no other uses of this fruit recorded in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.

So...the headquarters has been storing this fruit for more than 100 years, without any application from the Navy, and the World Government has not recalled it. It just lies in the warehouse of the Navy Headquarters in embarrassment.

Until half a month ago, the Zhanye detachment asked the headquarters for a list of devil fruits stored by the headquarters. Then a week ago, the Zhanye detachment suddenly chose to claim this fruit.

Hearing about this incident, the Warring States Marshal was immediately alarmed. The Warring States Marshal even used a phone bug to contact the Zhan Ye Detachment. After repeated confirmation, he agreed to the application of the Zhan Ye Detachment.

Then the logistics staff of the headquarters spent five days retrieving the fruit from a pile of decaying collections, and then asked Tina to transport the fruit.

"Lieutenant General Skyler!"

Skyler approached, and Tina temporarily put aside her doubts, raised her hand to salute, Skyler nodded, and did not return the military salute, but asked eagerly: "Fruit, where is the fruit."

Seeing Skyler's appearance, Tina became even more confused, but she still turned around and said, "In the cabin, Lieutenant General Skyler, please follow Tina."

Skyler nodded, followed Tina, and walked towards the cabin of the Black Threshold Force's main ship.

Although it is a fruit that no one wants, but... Devil Fruit, no matter how low it is, it is still [-] million beli, so it is still well protected.

After passing through layers of guards, opening doors one after another, and unlocking locks one after another, Skyler finally saw the fruit she had missed for a week after more than ten minutes.

But when Tina opened the lid and Skyler saw the fruit, she had a look of disgust on her face. For no other reason... this fruit was really ugly.

The fruit is beige in color, and the skin looks extremely hard. It also has the spiral patterns on the appearance of Devil Fruit, but...these spiral patterns are arranged through some twisted "teeth".

"Crack~"

Tina had just opened the box, and before her hand even completely left the box, Skyler suddenly reached out and covered the box containing the Yaya fruit.

"Hmm~"

Skyler gritted his teeth and pressed his tongue against his teeth, suppressing the urge to vomit. Seeing the fruit reminded Skyler of the countless teeth cleaning videos he had watched in his previous life.

And the level of visual nausea this Yaya Fruit brings to people... is probably as disgusting as all the tooth cleaning videos on the Internet in the past life put together.

"This fruit... I think if you don't take it and show it to others, it will be more lethal than if you take it."

After finally adjusting, Skyler said with emotion. Tina didn't know how to answer, so she just nodded awkwardly.

Skyler didn't complain too much, but said: "That's it. When the time comes, you will bring someone to confront Nurkic and enter the library."

"Tina understands."

Tina nodded, and Skyler had already walked outside. It wasn't until he walked out of the cabin that Skyler breathed a sigh of relief, and then left the warship without looking back.

Tina, who was catching up with Skyler, didn't know what to do. Skyler's style of doing things was so...casual.

Fortunately, Nurkic came over at this time and took the initiative to interact with Tina, and Tina breathed a sigh of relief.

The first person Tina knew from the Zhanye detachment was Commander Skyler, but after so many years, her familiarity with Skyler was still at the recruit stage.

But Tina is quite familiar with Nurkic and Hamilton. After all, Hamilton needs to be contacted for material replenishment.

The handover of special items like today, or the handover of pirates, was handled by Nurkic. Therefore, after Tina saw Nurkic, the familiarity in her heart actually made her relieved. .

"Colonel Nurkic, it's been a while."

Tina smiled and greeted Nurkic, and Nurkic also smiled. It has to be said that since his hair began to turn gray and he grew a beard, Nurkic smiled like a kind old grandfather. , at most not that old.

"Colonel Tina, thank you for your hard work. You traveled alone for a piece of fruit. We happen to have some pirates in our base that we haven't dealt with yet. You can take them back with you later."

Hearing Nurkic's words, the smile on Tina's face became brighter. Transferring the pirates seemed to increase the workload, but in fact, it was Tina's contribution, and it would be counted as a meritorious service. Bailey.

As a commander of a non-combat unit, Tina's promotion is actually slower than that of a commander of a combat unit, because she does not gain a large amount of merit for capturing a certain pirate.

You can only pass through the transfer missions, accumulate your merits bit by bit, and then gain seniority before you can pass the trial and be promoted. And one mistake may make several years of hard work in vain.

Nurkic asked her to transport some pirates back, which can be regarded as helping Tina improve her performance.

"Thank you very much, Tina, Colonel Nurkic."

"You're welcome."

"Colonel Nurkic, please come with Tina. Some procedures still need to be completed."

"Understand."

Tina feels most relaxed when working with Nurkic, because Nurkic is more familiar with her work process than she is.

If Tina had not been asked to sign and seal in the end, Nurkic could have completed the self-service process. Tina sometimes couldn't remember where she put her various forms, but Nurkic could remember it. And find it out and fill it out proactively.

Today was no exception, escorting Devil Fruit. In Tina's navy career of more than ten years, she had experienced it very rarely. When she was a little anxious, Nurkic had already found all the forms in her office.

Each document was filled out and bound, and finally Tina, the commander of the Black Throne Force, under the guidance of Nurkic, signed each name and stamped each document, finally completing the docking of the mission.

After the documents were completed, Nurkic first sent the Yaya Fruit to Deborah's laboratory, and then took Tina to deliver it to the imprisoned pirates.

Tina didn't expect that the entire work process would come down so quickly. She looked at the adjutant of her detachment and was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

They are both adjutants, so why is there such a big gap?

The Black Threshold troops did not stay at the G-5 branch for too long, and left after the work docking was completed.

And Skyler waited for more than a week, and finally waited for a tooth fruit that was no different from the dark fruit.

At this time, there were only a few days left before the New Year. Skyler looked at the changed appearance of the Tooth Fruit in his hand and said with a smile:

"Now...it's time to find an owner for it."
