Background / History
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit entered the world as Chen Li's first reward from the Strongest Sign-in System during the Star Luo Empire's aristocratic Martial Soul awakening ceremony. The system removed the fruit's original weaknesses, including its fear of seawater and Seastone, before forcibly fusing it into Chen Li's awakening process as a Logia-type Martial Soul. The resulting electrical surge disrupted the awakening formation and displaced its six awakening stones. Chen Li was confirmed to possess Level 10 Innate Full Soul Power. 1
Its extreme purity immediately created a cultivation problem. A compatible three-hundred-year Thunder Pattern Tiger Soul Ring shattered during the final fusion stage rather than being absorbed. Further attempts with Ten-year, Hundred-year, and Thousand-year Soul Rings produced the same result: the rings collapsed and were rejected by the fruit. Yue Guan concluded that the Martial Soul disdained the mixed external Soul Power contained in ordinary Soul Rings. 2 5 6 14 15
Chen Li's second Martial Soul, the Gulp Gulp Fruit, provided a solution. It could devour, refine, and fuse rejected Soul Rings, removing their impurities and raising their quality. After using it to forge an upgraded Thousand-year Soul Ring, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit accepted the ring for the first time. The dangerous absorption raised Chen Li to Level 18 and granted his first Soul Skill. 8 11 12 16 18 20
Appearance

- Blue-white electric snakes can scorch nearby surfaces. 1 10
- Its internal origin manifests as a steadily beating lightning heart. 1 18
- After Chen Li obtains his first ring, a deep purple Soul Ring rotates around the lightning core. 18 19

Elementalization
Elementalization allows Chen Li to convert parts of his body into lightning, causing physical attacks to pass through without inflicting normal bodily damage. It was present in preliminary form upon awakening. 1 31
- The Purple Thunder Demonic Steed's horn appears to pierce Chen Li's chest, but the wound is revealed to be lightning rather than a physical hole. 31
- The transformed area reforms into flesh after the attack passes through. 31
- Chen Li describes it as a life-saving technique. 31

Soul Ring Rejection and High-Quality Compatibility

- Rejected rings ranging from Ten-year to Thousand-year levels. 5 14 15
- The rejection is linked to the fruit's extreme purity and apparent disdain for impure or mixed Soul Ring energy. 6 12

- Its accepted first Soul Ring is upgradeable, allowing further improvement through additional refined materials. 18 21 23
Relationships

Trivia
- The fruit's system-granted version has none of the original Devil Fruit weaknesses to seawater, Seastone, or related effects. 1
- Chen Li's first Thousand-year Soul Ring is concealed by the Heart of Illusory Thunder, making it appear externally as a yellow Hundred-year Soul Ring. 22
- The fruit's blue-white lightning is considered purer than the Purple Thunder Demonic Steed's lightning, creating a suppressive disparity of status rather than merely raw power. 30
