The First Dual Devil Fruit User in History!!

Facing a losing battle, Natsuya opened the Door of Different Dimension.

However, he did not flee; instead, he took out a Devil Fruit and chuckled.

"This is my trump card!"

Hearing this, Dracule Mihawk immediately frowned.

Nami, on the other hand, was somewhat confused.

She realized belatedly that the fruit Natsuya had suddenly produced must be the legendary Devil Fruit.

What puzzled her was how a single Devil Fruit could possibly serve as Natsuya's trump card!

Although it was her first time seeing one, Nami was familiar with the rumors.

A person could only consume one Devil Fruit; eating more would cause the powers within the heart to conflict, leading the host to explode and die.

In that case, Natsuya taking out a Devil Fruit couldn't be for his own consumption.

But the question remained: who was he going to feed it to?

To Dracule Mihawk?

Wouldn't that be helping the enemy!?

Or was he planning to turn Dracule Mihawk into a user and then exploit the weakness of Devil Fruit users to knock him into the sea!?

But that method didn't seem very feasible.

Nami was completely baffled.

At the same time, a look of confusion couldn't help but flash across Dracule Mihawk's face.

Even with his vast experience, he couldn't fathom why Natsuya would treat a Devil Fruit as a trump card.

Natsuya's smile, however, only deepened.

At this moment, even without using the Mirror of Heart Door to look, he could guess what Dracule Mihawk was thinking.

He immediately laughed again: "Dracule Mihawk, I have to say, your swordsmanship is truly impressive!"

"Even though my current strength is greater than yours, I still can't defeat you!"

Speaking of which, Natsuya suddenly changed the subject: "But this situation isn't absolute, is it!"

"As long as my strength exceeds yours by a vast margin, then no matter how superb your swordsmanship is, you won't be my match anymore!"

Hearing this, Dracule Mihawk narrowed his eyes.

Natsuya's words did indeed make sense.

The reason he could suppress Natsuya, aside from his two types of Haki, was primarily his superior swordsmanship!

For example, a martial arts expert who has mastered Iron Body might very well possess greater raw power than a swordsman in the Iron-Cutting Realm.

But if the two were to fight, the swordsman in the Iron-Cutting Realm would likely win.

The reason is that while the martial artist might not be able to threaten the swordsman, the Iron-Cutting Realm swordsman could pierce the martial artist's Iron Body defense!

And right now, that was exactly the situation between him and Natsuya!

Natsuya couldn't do anything to him, whereas his own swordsmanship could inflict damage on Natsuya!

Of course, this wasn't absolute.

If Natsuya's strength were ten or even dozens of times his own, superior swordsmanship might not be able to bridge such a massive gap!

But the question was, was that even possible?

One had to know that the current Natsuya, as described in the intelligence Dracule Mihawk had obtained, was likely pushing his body's potential to the limit to drastically increase his strength.

In this state, it was absolutely impossible for him to further improve his physical constitution.

Because such an ability surely came with a price.

This could be seen from Natsuya's current appearance.

If Natsuya were to push himself any further, he would likely cripple himself before gaining any more power, wouldn't he?

Thinking of this, Dracule Mihawk became even more puzzled.

Where did Natsuya get the confidence that he could increase his strength once again!?

"Wait, a Devil Fruit!?"

But just then, Dracule Mihawk looked at the Devil Fruit in Natsuya's hand and suddenly froze.

In a flash, he thought of another method that could also significantly boost one's strength.

That was a Devil Fruit!

Especially a Zoan-type Devil Fruit!

If what Natsuya held was a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, consuming it would indeed drastically improve his physical constitution, thereby granting him even greater power.

But the problem was, Natsuya was already a user of the Door-Door Fruit; how could he possibly eat another Devil Fruit!?

At this moment, hearing Dracule Mihawk's inner thoughts, Natsuya couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

That's right!

The Devil Fruit in his hand was none other than a Zoan-type Devil Fruit capable of significantly enhancing physical attributes!

It was the very same Monkey-Monkey Fruit that Natsuya had previously stolen from Olig!

It is worth mentioning that the reason Natsuya did not give this Monkey-Monkey Fruit to Nami was not only because he felt she couldn't fully utilize its power, but also because this Devil Fruit was central to his trump card!

Natsuya's trump card was, in fact, to consume this Monkey-Monkey Fruit to drastically boost his physical prowess!

However, this brought up the biggest question regarding the confusion felt by Nami and Hawkeye.

Indeed, it was common knowledge and a law in the Pirate World that a person could not consume two Devil Fruits!

How could Natsuya possibly consume another Devil Fruit while already being a Devil Fruit user!?

Was it even possible!?

The answer was yes, it was possible, and it was doable!

This point had already been proven by Blackbeard in the future!

Common knowledge could be broken, and laws could be changed!

Because Blackbeard was the unprecedented user of two Devil Fruits!

So, if Blackbeard could become a dual-fruit user, why couldn't Natsuya!?

In fact, this idea of Natsuya's also stemmed from Blackbeard.

Back when he stole the Monkey-Monkey Fruit from Olig, he couldn't help but think of Blackbeard.

The circumstances under which he stole the Monkey-Monkey Fruit were remarkably similar to how Blackbeard used his Dark-Dark Ability to seize the Quake-Quake Ability from Whitebeard!

Because of this, Natsuya associated it with Blackbeard's subsequent transformation into a dual-fruit user.

In his view, if Blackbeard could do it, then he should be able to as well.

Of course, Natsuya did not have two hearts.

But don't forget, he possessed the power of the Door-Door Fruit!

And among the abilities of the Door-Door Fruit, there was the power to open a door to the heart!

So, could this "opening a door to the heart" be used on Natsuya himself?

Could he open another door in his heart, thereby allowing it to accommodate more Devil Fruit powers!?

This thought made Natsuya's heart race with excitement.

Because if he succeeded, he would very likely become the first unprecedented dual-fruit user, or even a multi-fruit user, even earlier than Blackbeard!

After experimenting, Natsuya was pleasantly surprised to discover that this idea was feasible!

Just like at this moment, he suddenly grabbed the Monkey-Monkey Fruit and pressed it against his heart.

In that instant, the Door-Door Fruit's power activated, and a door appeared over Natsuya's heart.

After swallowing the Monkey-Monkey Fruit, that door closed once again.

Seeing this scene, Hawkeye and Nami were both stunned.

Both of them, at the same time, wore expressions of utter disbelief!

"So, Natsuya really can consume another Devil Fruit!?"

And next, as if to prove their thoughts, an incredible scene unfolded!

The suit on Natsuya's upper body was suddenly shredded by his rapidly expanding muscles!

Golden fur surged forth from every part of his body!

In the blink of an eye, Natsuya transformed from a handsome man of about two meters into a ferocious ape nearly four meters tall!

From this moment on.

Natsuya had truly replaced the future Blackbeard, becoming the first dual-fruit user in the history of the Pirate World!
