The Potential of Devil Fruits!

"."

Outside the frozen training hall, Garp and Bogard looked at each other in bewilderment; the white light had, of course, swept over them as well.

Garp was completely unaffected after the two instinctively used Armament Haki to protect their bodies.

However, Bogard found that his body had become very sluggish, but fortunately his mind was still functioning normally, so he was also aware of the changes in his surroundings.

"Could this be..."

Bogard touched the brim of his hat and asked hesitantly.

Kuzan had told them that before.

He vaguely remembered that when he unleashed 'Ice Age' for the last time during his battle with the Divine Dragon and Black Marlin, it seemed to pause for a moment, causing the Divine Harmony and the thousands of hairs he released to freeze.

It was only because it was so brief, and the situation was so tense, that none of the three parties present noticed this.

But when Kuzan recalled the whole process, he keenly noticed this strange detail.

So he wanted to experience that indescribable and extremely difficult-to-perceive feeling again through his battle with Yixiao.

The reason for not seeking out Garp is because they are worried that his Haki is too strong, and even if he were to successfully unleash it, it would be ignored because it has no effect.

"There's no mistake, this is the so-called 'Freezing Spacetime.' That big fox named Red Lotus used this technique on me before." Garp nodded solemnly.

"I never expected that Kuzan would actually succeed, and I never imagined that Devil Fruit could have such potential."

After saying that, Garp took the lead and stepped into the building, noticing that the fighting inside had stopped. Bogard, seeing this, didn't ask any more questions and silently followed.

"Kuzan, congratulations!"

Upon seeing Kuzan talking to Issho, Garp immediately burst into hearty laughter, drawing their attention to himself.

It must be said that they are good at making their presence felt.

People in this world all do pretty much the same thing; they all laugh loudly for a while from a great distance.

"Ah la la la~"

Kuzan chuckled, rubbing the back of his naturally curly head. "With all this commotion, Fleet Admiral Sengoku is definitely going to scold me later."

"Pfft, hahaha, if Sengoku knew you'd mastered 'Frozen Time-Space,' he'd be overjoyed, he wouldn't have time to say anything to you!"

"Well, I'm still a long way from mastering it."

Kuzan sighed helplessly, glanced at Yi Xiao beside him, and said, "That just proved that my Ice-Ice Fruit ability can indeed Imitation Magic this move."

"What's the meaning?"

Garp looked puzzled, and Bogard behind him also raised his eyes slightly.

"That means I can't control this move like Esdeath does right now. I can only figure out a peculiar feeling during intense battles, and then accidentally trigger 'Frozen Time-Space' through that feeling."

Hearing Kuzan's words, Garp laughed dismissively, "It sounds like it's just a matter of not being proficient enough. Just practice a few more times, and it'll be fine."

"Indeed, it could be due to a lack of proficiency, but it's also possible that this instability stems from a fundamental difference in the nature of power," Kuzan said with concern.

The power of Danger Beasts' bloodline and the power of Devil Fruit are ultimately different.

"I would be happy to verify this with Admiral Aokiji. If you still cannot control this power after successfully using it several times, then it will basically prove that it has nothing to do with proficiency."

With no scars on his face and no blindness in his eyes, he smiled, gripping the long sword in his hand, and spoke softly.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help!"

Kuzan chuckled. He always felt that he got along well with the other person, at least more comfortably than with Sakazuki or Borsalino.

Therefore, he was eagerly anticipating Issho's promotion to Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

"Kuzan!"

Just then, shouts came from the gate. The group looked over and saw that it was the Sengoku they had just been talking about, followed by several figures who were clearly not from the military.

One of them was wearing a white lab coat and looked very refined.

Two other people were dressed in black suits, and their aloof demeanor immediately identified them as members of CIPHER POL.

"Sengoku, you just saw it too, right? Kuzan has done something incredible!"

When Garp saw Sengoku, he put on a smug look, as if he had done something incredible.

"Ahem, I saw it, but we'll talk about it later."

Sengoku glanced at Garp, then introduced the man in white behind him to the others, "This is Senior Researcher Wilmo from the Biochemical Research Institute."

"Iron Fist Admiral, Aokiji Admiral, Fujitora Vice Admiral, and this Vice Admiral, it's an honor to meet you all."

Senior Researcher Wilmo couldn't recognize Bogard, so he had to address him that way; fortunately, Bogard didn't seem to mind.

"I have been ordered to deliver this Red Lotus of blood from the super- Danger Beasts 'Nine-Tails White Fox' Guren from the Teigu World to Admiral Aokiji."

"After you drink it, your body will be able to absorb Natural Energy of the ice element."

"However, due to the excessive impurities in the blood, it contains a strong element of savagery, but based on experiments, it is speculated that the impact on you will not be too significant."

In truth, Senior Researcher Wilmo harbored some regret, lamenting that the World Government was too eager for Admiral Aokiji to drink the 'Red Lotus Blood'.

Based on the judgments of Dean Fritz, Caesar, Queen, Muzan Kibutsuji, and others within the academy.

In theory, they should be able to remove the impurities and bestiality from the 'Red Lotus Blood' and develop a purer 'serum,' namely the 'Ice Attribute Natural Energy Absorption Physique Enhancement Serum'.

Even further, it goes beyond serums with only a single attribute.

However, this requires more research time and the blood of other super Danger Beasts, especially the blood of that 'Evil Dragon' Tyrande!

"Absorbing Natural Energy?"

Kuzan an eyebrow, and those around him smiled. Garp and the others also looked puzzled. Seeing this, Senior Researcher Wilmo had no choice but to briefly explain the relationship between Natural Energy and super Danger Beasts.

It was actually what Red Lotus had told Imu and the others, along with some of Esdeath's training insights from a few days ago.

"I see!"

Kuzan and the others Satori.

"Not only can it enlighten the wisdom of living beings, but it can also elevate their life level and amplify the power of natural elements. This Natural Energy sounds like a good thing!"

"What are you waiting for, Kuzan? Come on, have a taste!" Garp's eyes lit up.

He's a normal person too.

Naturally, they would be interested in something that could both increase their strength and extend their lifespan.

"Oh dear, I just hope it doesn't taste as bad as Devil Fruit."

Kuzan certainly wouldn't refuse, after all, she had seen Esdeath before, and Esdeath didn't seem to have any major problems after drinking this blood.

Soon.

Senior Researcher Wilmo took the white refrigerated box from a man in black behind him, entered a complex password to open it, and then took out a transparent bag filled with scarlet blood.

"So much?"

Kuzan stared speechlessly at the enormous, full bag of blood, and finally could only hold it up, tilt his head back, and gulp it down.

Instantly.

A strong stench of blood filled the air, but those present were all accustomed to life and death, and felt no discomfort whatsoever. They simply watched silently as Kuzan drank the blood.

"Call----"

After finishing his drink, Kuzan glanced at the nearly empty blood bag in his hand and said with a wry smile, "It tastes awful, but compared to Devil Fruit, it's acceptable."
