Lucky-Lucky Fruit Uses!
Time: Four hours ago.
Location: Impel Down Impel Down, in a deliberately empty room on the fourth basement level.
Characters: Warden Columbus, Vice Warden Magellan, Red the Aloof Redfield, Vampire Laskey, and Kurozumi Orochi.
Because this roughly 300-square-meter room is located in a 'Blazing Hell', the temperature is extremely hot and unbearable, and there is always a burnt smell in the air.
However, none of the people present were ordinary; they were completely unconcerned about the somewhat harsh environment.
Their gazes were all fixed on the Kurozumi Orochi, who was tightly bound to the iron chair by Seastone hands and feet and shackles, his face covered in sweat and filled with terror.
At this time.
A layer of various kinds of fruit was laid out on the ground around the Kurozumi Orochi.
"Waaaaah--waaaah--"
Judging from its frantically struggling body and its swaying, ugly head, it was clearly trying to beg for mercy.
Pity.
Previously, due to the excessive noise, an impatient Redfield ordered Magellan to have the mouth of the Kurozumi Orochi sealed shut, so now his mouth is covered with several layers of duct tape.
"The time has come; we may begin, Redfield."
After glancing at the watch on his right wrist, Laskey gave a soft reminder. Redfield didn't reply, but simply nodded and took two steps forward, a faint golden aura emanating from his body.
He is a Paramecia Lucky-Lucky Devil Fruit User, capable of absorbing luck from those he touches.
He can save this luck or use it to enhance his own luck, but at the same time, it will make the person whose luck is being drained very unlucky, or even bring unexpected disasters.
Redfield had already drawn enough luck from the twelve prisoners he had chosen.
As for what happened to those prisoners, that's not his concern; you'd have to ask Columbus and Magellan.
But who would be interested in that kind of thing?
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd and the pleading look of Kurozumi Orochi, Redfield did not use the purple umbrella sword in his left hand, but instead flicked his right fingers to release a Formless burst of energy.
As the sharp sound of something cutting through the air flashed by, a terrifying bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of the Kurozumi Orochi.
The former 'Daimyo of Wano Country' began to lose focus, his life force gradually disappeared, and the muscles in his body that had been tense due to fear and struggle quickly softened.
However, Redfield and the others were not paying attention to him; their sharp eyes, like searchlights, swept back and forth across the fruit.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Laskey's eyes sharpened, and in the next second, everyone's gaze was fixed on a red apple that was undergoing a transformation.
Not long after, among a pile of ordinary fruits, there appeared a peculiar fruit that looked very much like a Fire Dragon, with spiral patterns all over its surface and eight green leaves hanging down from the top.
Zoan, Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi Model!
"It actually works!"
Columbus and Magellan watched this scene in shock. Earlier, Redfield and Laskey had told them that they were ordered to take Kurosaki Orochi's Devil Fruit, and they had thought it was impossible.
Actually...
Redfield himself also had some doubts about the nature of his mission.
As required by the mission, he needed to activate the power of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit with all his might while visualizing the Yamata no Orochi appearing among the fruits with strong willpower.
If you kill the Kurozumi Orochi at the same time, there is a certain probability that you will 'leave' the 'demon' that is about to fly away.
Surprisingly, it worked!
Wouldn't that mean I could become a 'Devil Fruit Hunter' from now on?
This made Redfield fall into deep thought.
The reason he agreed to eat the Lucky-Lucky Fruit was because he was interested in its ability to govern rules; he just hadn't expected it to have this kind of use.
Clearly, the World Government understands the Lucky-Lucky Fruit far better than they do.
"Then, I will be responsible for escorting this Devil Fruit."
At this moment, Laskey brought a delicate wooden box, walked to the 'Yamata no Orochi' fruit, put it in the box, and then turned and left the room without saying a word.
Redfield turned to Warden Columbus and smiled, "I'd like to try again. Could you perhaps bring that Kurozumi Kanjuro along?"
He wanted to know whether his ability was a coincidence or some kind of inevitability.
One result is hard to prove anything, but if everything goes smoothly the second time, then it can basically be regarded as 'inevitable good fortune'.
Warden Columbus thought for a moment, "There were no prior instructions on this matter, so I need to consult with the Five Elders. If you don't mind waiting, I will contact them now."
"Please~"
Redfield didn't care. He turned his head and watched as two prison guards walked in and dragged away the body of the Kurozumi Orochi. His thoughts drifted as he pondered his next mission.
The mission requirements state that once it is confirmed that one's abilities have an impact on Devil Fruit, then the second phase of the long-term mission will commence.
Right now.
Head to the North Blue to find the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit, for which the World Government once placed a bounty of 5 billion Beli.
Regarding rewards...
If he can successfully find and hand it over, he will not only be granted the identity of 'CP-0', but will also have the right to freely pass through all 'Star Gate'.
From now on, as long as there are no major missions, he can go wherever he wants.
This was an excellent reward for Redfield, who preferred to travel alone and explore different places, and he was indeed very satisfied.
Soon.
Kurozumi Kanjuro was brought in by two prison guards. Just like Kurozumi Orochi before him, his hands and feet were handcuffed with Seastone and Binding on the iron chair that still had some bloodstains. Even his mouth had been gagged beforehand.
"Um?"
Just as Redfield was about to activate his ability, he was surprised to find that he didn't have enough luck. He wondered to himself, "Could it be that the luck of twelve people is only enough to affect one Devil Fruit?"
Then, he asked Warden Columbus to bring in twelve prisoners. After he absorbed their luck, he killed them on the spot and then had the prison guards come in and clean them up.
Because these prisoners, whose luck has been taken away, suffer misfortune not only themselves.
Sometimes it can even cause damage to the surrounding environment, such as the upper floors collapsing and falling down.
Rather than doing that, it's easier to just kill him.
"Then let's begin the second test, Mr. Kurozumi Kanjuro ~" Redfield smiled, his body once again radiating a pale golden light.
"Waaaaah--Waaaah!"
Kurozumi Kanjuro stared wide-eyed in despair, his body twisting wildly.
He didn't want to die!
In the Giant World, on Noah above Paradis Island, Imu is examining the 'Yamata no Orochi' fruit floating before him; this is a valuable item.
Or rather, all Mythical Zoan are the most valuable Devil Fruit.
Despite Kurozumi Orochi's appalling development of it, he only relied on its most basic 'eight lives' ability.
But if you look at how well 'Kaido- sensei' has developed the Azure Dragon Fruit, you'll know that this 'Yamata no Orochi' fruit definitely still has potential to be explored.
Yamata no Orochi!
Given that Devil Fruit rely heavily on Elephant Strength, this thing will most likely be able to generate the mythical phenomena associated with the legendary Yamata no Orochi.
But now there's a very important problem.
Who should it be given to?
After thinking about it, I realized that I should indeed give one of the 'Giant God Soldier' a suitable Devil Fruit ability. Imu had already decided to give each of his 'Giant God Soldier' a suitable Devil Fruit ability.
Just like Saul's Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Antaeus Form.
As for the question of why these Giants don't like eating Devil Fruit...
Is that considered a problem?
