Revealing the Nika Fruit
Haku is too lazy to answer anymore; anyway, these questions about him will accompany everyone who sees him for the next few days.
After giving a casual reply, Haku found a seat and asked, "Have you made arrangements for Sabo?"
Dragon nodded seriously and replied, "Sabo has basically arranged everything himself, and I believe he can handle it well."
Haku rolled her eyes; she didn't believe that at all.
Given Sabo's personality, he absolutely wouldn't sit idly by if Ace were truly in danger!
The only ones who can keep Sabo in check are Haku and Dragon.
However, Haku herself certainly couldn't act rashly, and as the leader of an organization, Dragon couldn't leave Baltigo at will.
Haku asked, "If I told you that it's your own son Luffy who's going to disrupt your plans in Impel Down, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Dragon placed the document in his hand on the table and said in confusion, "Why do you say that? I haven't received any news that Luffy has been imprisoned in Impel Down!"
Haku waved her hand and said, "Just consider it as me Future Sight! Besides, don't you know that your son, the Straw Hat Pirates, attacked the Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Long was taken aback for a moment, then he said, "The Sabaody Archipelago is the closest to Marine Headquarters, so I guess Sabo transferred the people from there?"
Haku asked curiously, "Aren't you worried about Luffy's safety? That kid beat up Celestial Dragon, you know?"
"And, the Marine Headquarters even sent Admiral Kizaru to capture him!" Haku said with a grin.
"As for Kizaru, there's no need to worry about him. He's very shrewd; he won't do anything to Luffy!"
"Besides, would you let Luffy trouble?" Dragon teased Haku.
"I think the question I just asked was a bit unnecessary!" Haku said with a shrug.
"Alright, let's get back to the previous question. Since you said Luffy is making moves in Impel Down, does that mean he'll run into Ivankov and the others Impel Down?" Dragon asked Haku seriously.
Haku nodded and said, "He hasn't arrived at Impel Down yet, but judging by the time, he should be at Amazon Lily by now!"
Dragon looked completely bewildered. Despite his intelligence, compared to Haku, without knowing the plot, Dragon struggled to keep up with Haku's train of thought!
Seeing Dragon's puzzled look, he explained, "Before Kuma fully became Pacifista, he helped Luffy find a suitable place to train his Haki! Now, Luffy is heading to the Sabaody Archipelago because of Kuma's Devil Fruit ability!"
Dragon nodded, a look of understanding on his face. "I remember that the Empress of the Kuja Warrior had a close relationship with you! So, you'll be taking Luffy to Impel Down later, right?"
Haku snapped her fingers and said, "That's right! I'll tell Luffy that Ace is going to be Execution. That'll lure him to Impel Down!"
Dragon's expression hardened, and he said seriously to Haku, "Is it really necessary to choose Luffy to go?"
As a father, he naturally didn't want his child to take any risks, especially not in a dangerous place like Impel Down!
Haku shook her head and said, "No one can replace Luffy. This is not only because of their brotherhood, but also because Luffy needs this experience to grow. He must learn to face difficulties, take responsibility, and become a true leader. Only then can he lead his crew forward and realize their dreams."
"Moreover, Luffy needs to undergo sufficient training before he can fully awaken his Devil Fruit power!"
"Awaken? What awaken? Didn't Luffy eat a regular Gum-Gum Fruit?" Dragon asked in confusion after hearing Haku's words.
"A regular Gum-Gum Fruit? Hahahaha!" Haku couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed and said, "Do you think Red-Haired Shanks would risk his arm on Luffy just because he's an ordinary Gum-Gum Devil Fruit User?"
"This..." After Haku's guidance, Long also realized the crux of the problem!
Haku continued, "The real name of the Gum-Gum Fruit that Luffy ate is: Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Mode!"
"You should be familiar with the name Nika, right? It's the name of the Sun God!"
"Nika, the Sun God?" the dragon murmured the name.
Haku continued, "The Nika Fruit is one of the many Devil Fruits that bears the name of a god. The Nika Fruit World Government has concealed its name to erase it from history, leading the world to believe it's Paramecia Devil Fruit. In fact, this Devil Fruit belongs to the Zoan, therefore it possesses its own will!"
Dragon said seriously, "It seems Luffy ate something truly extraordinary!"
Haku nodded and said, "Now that he ate the Nika Fruit, he has to take responsibility for some things."
"Furthermore, in the past 800 years, Nika Fruit has ever Awakening! Since Red-Haired Shanks was willing to bet his arm on Luffy, he must believe that Luffy can successfully awaken this fruit!"
"Once his Devil Fruit ability Awakening, he will be facing the entire World Government!"
"Why is the World Government so concerned about the Awakening of the Nika Fruit?" Dragon asked, seizing the key question.
Haku said, "Nika is known as the 'Warrior of Liberation' for his achievements in overthrowing the oppression of slave owners, liberating the enslaved people, and establishing Great Kingdom! He is feared by the current World Government!"
"Furthermore, the World Government has tried to reclaim the Gum-Gum Fruit in every era, but has never succeeded, just as the Nika Fruit has been consciously avoiding the World Government for 800 years."
Therefore, faced with this ticking time bomb, the World Government will target its very existence!
Dragon took a deep breath and continued, "So, you believe that the responsibility Luffy bears is both his personal path to growth and a crucial link in our fight against the World Government. He must become stronger and learn to face greater challenges in order to shoulder this heavy responsibility."
Haku nodded, adding, "That's right. Luffy needs to go through more trials to awaken the true power of the Nika Fruit within him. And Impel Down is a crucial obstacle on his path to growth."
A resolute glint flashed in the dragon's eyes as he said, "Since you already have a plan, I will fully support you. Just let me know if you encounter any difficulties!"
