Ambition Unbound, Two Goals

The next day, early in the morning, Ye Chen arrived at the empty office.

Upon arriving at the office, I saw Sengoku and Tsuru sitting to one side, clearly having been there long ago and handling government affairs.

Seeing this, Ye Chen knew in his heart that Sora was training Sengoku to be the next Fleet Admiral, and Tsuru, as a strategist, was an indispensable strategist who was assisting Sengoku.

"Greetings, Fleet Admiral Kong Sengoku, Admiral, Vice Admiral Tsuru!"

Ye Chen was not arrogant or conceited; he knew he had to be low-key, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died!

"Ye Chen, what do you want?"

Sitting in the head seat, Sora looked at Ye Chen with satisfaction, waved to the chair next to him, and gestured for Ye Chen to sit down. Since the Redfield incident, Sora had a high opinion of Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Ye Chen. After all, he was still alive thanks to these three guys.

"Fleet Admiral Kong, I'd like to know something about healing-type Devil Fruit. I wonder if headquarters has Devil Fruit Encyclopedia?"

Looking up at the sky, Ye Chen revealed the purpose of his visit.

Ye Chen's request caused Sengoku and Tsuru, who were handling government affairs nearby, to stop writing and look at Ye Chen, clearly knowing why he wanted the illustrations of Devil Fruit.

"I do have a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but it's incomplete. It rarely mentions Devil Fruit related to medicine. I'll have someone send it to you later, but you must return it after you've looked at it!"

Kong hesitated for a moment, then agreed to Ye Chen's request.

"Ye Chen, if the Devil Fruit can't help you, you can try to find some famous doctors. Headquarters doesn't have that information, but Enies Lobby should. You can go there and take a look!"

The crane on the side had obviously also seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia of the headquarters, and knew that there weren't many Devil Fruit related to healing, and even if there were, it didn't know where they were.

Therefore, she recommended that Ye Chen find some highly skilled doctors.

"Thank you for the reminder, Vice Admiral Tsuru!"

Ye Chen nodded, his heart not flustered much. Before coming here, he carefully recalled his memories of watching the anime. He still remembered some fragmented things, but many things were blurry and uncertain, which was why he came here.

For example, the Op-Op Fruit. He clearly remembered that it was eaten by the Future Supernova Trafalgar Law. According to the discussion among those beasts in the QQ group, this Devil Fruit can perform Immortality Surgery, which means it can achieve immortality.

When the thought first came to mind, a glint of greed flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. Immortality—who wouldn't want that? Did he really want to die of old age once he had gained immense power?

Don't be ridiculous. If he could live forever, Ye Chen would fight for it at all costs!

Although I didn't watch much of the plot back then, those bastards in the group discussed it from time to time. Before I knew it, the messages would reach 99+. I was also attracted by their bold speculations and joined in.

You only release one episode a week, and it's really bland. The worst part is that you need a membership to watch it, which makes Ye Chen unhappy. That's why he wants to build up the episodes and then kill them!

Now, Ye Chen has a goal: to combine the limited memories and guesses in his mind with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and some information about this world to make a good plan.

For example, set a goal first: achieve immortality!

Earn him a hundred million first, and that'll be incredibly prestigious.

If he could live forever, it would mean he would have infinite time. He would then be able to understand the world thoroughly, and he refused to believe that he wouldn't be able to find his way home.

Even if he can't find his way home, he needs to figure out how he got here. In short, there are many, many things he needs to do.

Therefore, the issue of time must be resolved.

Now, Ye Chen has two ambitions. The first is to stand at the pinnacle of this world, where no one can bully, humiliate, or torment him anymore. The second ambition is to live forever.

The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia is just the first step. He doesn't believe that the only Devil Fruit that can achieve immortality is the Op-Op Fruit. Having an extra backup plan is like having an extra way out. No one wants to die if they can live; otherwise, Ye Chen would have committed suicide long ago.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

"Go ahead! Someone will bring you the encyclopedia later. If you don't find what you're looking for, go to Enies Lobby and I'll let them know!"

"Thank you, Fleet Admiral Kong!"

Ye Chen gave a military salute, then turned and left.

Watching Ye Chen's disappearing figure, Kong smiled, then dialed Den Den Mushi and gave an order.

Sure enough, just a few minutes after Ye Chen arrived at the villa, a Rear Admiral came to Ye Chen's villa with Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

In fact, the Navy couldn't possibly have only this one map, but because of the need for balance, most of the data was sent to Enies Lobby, and some intelligence from the World Government is also Enies Lobby.

To put it simply, the Navy only needs to pay attention to pirates; as for other matters, those in power will handle them through other agencies of the World Government, and those above don't want the Navy to have too much control.

With the illustrated guide in hand, Ye Chen sat down on the sofa in the living room and began to peruse it.

The majority are Zoan and Paramecia, with solutions and moves that have been developed before, and a few are Logia.

The last few pages actually feature the Zoan- Mythical Zoan Zoan, which are even rarer than the Logia.

Even the worst Devil Fruits were given a cursory glance by Ye Chen. Of course, there were a few Devil Fruit related to medicine, including the Op-Op Fruit, the Heal-Heal Fruit, and the most mysterious Life-Life Fruit.

However, some fruits have not appeared for hundreds of years, or only have names and nothing else, such as the Life-Life Fruit.

Of course, there's also the Devil Fruit Ye Chen values most, which relates to immortality.

"The Op-Op Fruit."

"The Life-Life Fruit."

"The Age-Age Fruit."

"Return-Return Fruit."

"Zoan, Mythical Zoan Fruit, Bat-Bat Fruit, Vampire Form"

"Zoan Mythical Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit - Transformation"

There are many fruits that border on immortality, but these fruits only have names. Ye Chen knows that a few of them will appear in the future, but apart from the Op-Op Fruit, the chances of getting the others are not high.

Because Ye Chen couldn't possibly eat a second Devil Fruit.

Wait, the second Devil Fruit.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind, as if he remembered something. Summit War, wasn't Blackbeard able to eat two Devil Fruits? If he could find a way, could he also eat two Devil Fruits?

To be precise, when Ye Chen first watched the anime, he skipped episodes and fast-forwarded, reading ten lines at a glance until the end of the Summit War, before finally waiting for the series to finish.

With his eyes gleaming, Ye Chen revealed a chilling smile.

Finally, looking at the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, Ye Chen chose the most advantageous Devil Fruit: the Zoan Mythical Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit, Vampire Form.

As for why this particular fruit was chosen, it's because among the beasts in the herd, this fruit not only grants immortality, but also allows them to revert to a youthful state and maintain peak strength as long as there is blood.

Regaining his youth and maintaining peak strength are what Ye Chen values most.

With this Devil Fruit, plus his own Bomb-Bomb Fruit, who in this world can stop him!

Other fruits, while also granting immortality, are not as comprehensive as this one. If there were news of the Life-Life Fruit or Mythical Zoan could grant different forms, Ye Chen could accept it as well. However, these two fruits haven't appeared for hundreds of years, and have even become legendary. Whether they exist or not is now a question.

Most importantly, Ye Chen knew that the Vampire Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit was eaten by Patrick Redfield, who almost killed him. However, it seemed that the old man hadn't eaten Devil Fruit during their last battle, meaning Ye Chen still had a chance.

Let's calm down first.

Patting his head, Ye Chen calmed himself down and began to carefully consider his next steps.

The first step is to figure out how Blackbeard was able to eat two Devil Fruits.

The second step is to find out the whereabouts of the Vampire Mythical Zoan Fruit, as well as the whereabouts of the other Devil Fruit.

For a moment, Ye Chen thought about many things. His main focus was recalling what he had seen while watching the anime, or the information he had gleaned from forums and groups. Whether true or false, even if it was just speculation, this information was a great treasure to Ye Chen. So what if he hadn't finished watching the anime? Combining those recalled memories with those random guesses—what difference was there between that and actually watching the anime?

Only now did Ye Chen realize the immense wealth he possessed, and how this differed from a cheat code.
