The Forgetfulness Fruit / The Fatal Bullet Hole
"Kalkale!!"
"Bass Bada, how did you manage to make me forget you even exist?"
Indigo looked at Bada and chuckled, "I remember eight years ago, when I came to the Bass Kingdom, you hadn't eaten Devil Fruit yet!"
"Hmm! I ate the Devil Fruit three years ago!"
"Brothers, this way please. I'll tell you anything you want to know."
As he spoke, he took the lead, walked to the edge of the hollow, and stood next to a rectangular table.
Upon seeing Kuta and the others approach, Bada rushed ahead and pulled out chairs for Kuta one by one, as if he were not a king but a waiter.
This guy was trying to curry favor with Kuta and the others in every way.
They Kuta all very curious about what kind of huge trouble had caused this king to act in this way.
After settling down, they all stared at Bada, waiting for his explanation.
Chapter 14 The Forget-Forgot Fruit
Kuta looked at Bada and pulled off the Wine Gourd from his waist.
"Glug glug glug!!"
He raised it, tilted his head back, and took a few sips.
"Phew~"
If there's a story behind it, then it's definitely worth having over drinks.
Bada took his seat, glancing at Kuta's Wine Gourd, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
No wonder Kuta asked about "Bass Wine" as soon as he arrived; he's a drunkard!
Alcoholics are great!
This would give him more confidence to ask Kuta and the others for help.
He cleared his throat and said softly, "I am the 'Forgotten Person,' who ate the 'Forget-Forgot Fruit,' which allows me to be completely forgotten by the world."
"Then how did you become a different person?"
A-Tao took a deep drag of her cigarette, held it between her fingers, flicked off the ash, and exhaled a smoke ring.
He squinted through the smoke rings, looking at Bada and asked, "And this person is completely different from you, even their height is different."
"This isn't a transformation ability!"
"This is a completely different person."
He is no longer the person who knew nothing about Devil Fruit.
Although Devil Fruit User properly and generally possess several abilities, these abilities are all in a hierarchical relationship, rather than being two completely different abilities.
Clearly, Bada's ability to transform into another person can be considered another kind of ability.
Bada rested his hands on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.
"I don't know either. After eating the Devil Fruit's power, I was able to erase my own existence and then become that Bada's appearance."
He paused for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, before continuing, "You can think of me as someone shrouded in an illusion. This illusion is like a suit of armor, hiding my true self inside, allowing me to completely disappear from this world."
"Phantom?"
Kuta stared at Bada, his eyes narrowing. "So, it can transform into other things?"
Since it's an illusion, it can't be limited to just the human body!
"Can."
Bada looked at Kuta and nodded. "When I use my ability on myself, I can not only transform into another person, but also into Toys, a humanoid object."
"It can only be something in human form; nothing else is acceptable."
"That's amazing!"
Ahua stared at Bada, his eyes shining.
"For personal use."
"Toys."
Kuta stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
His expression gradually turned serious.
He looked up at Bada and asked, "So you can use your abilities on other people too?"
This ability reminded him of someone from Doflamingo's family, Sugar, the user of the "Hobby-Hobby Fruit".
This is an extremely dangerous and evil Devil Fruit User!
"Um!"
Bada nodded at Kuta, paused, and then said, "Although I haven't used my abilities on anyone else yet, I know I can definitely use them on others."
"If you can use it on other people, then your Devil Fruit ability is too dangerous."
Kuta took a sip of his drink. "Are there any restrictions?"
"How could there be no restrictions!"
Bada looked at Kuta and suddenly laughed, "Haha!! Boss, you don't actually think this thing can be used indefinitely, do you?!"
"If I could be limitless, wouldn't I be invincible?"
"Oh..."
Kuta leaned back in his chair, looked at Bada, and asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
"You need to make contact with the other party before you can activate your ability."
"Another requirement is that the opponent's Armament Haki cannot be too strong, otherwise I won't be able to activate my ability."
"The most important thing is that they can't be too far away from me, otherwise the ability will automatically dissipate."
"Oh! Is that so?"
Kuta's furrowed brows relaxed.
This guy's abilities seem powerful, but they're completely useless against strong individuals.
The Hobby-Hobby Fruit is different; its unlimited, bug-like power is what's truly dangerous.
Erasing a person from all traces in this world is far more painful than killing them!
In general, Bada's forgetting ability can be considered a lower-level ability of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
Of course, since it's called the Forget-Forgot Fruit, nobody knows if this guy will be able to develop it to the point where it becomes as overpowered as the Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
"What about the transformation ability?"
"Can I become someone else?"
"No, I can only become someone who has never existed in this world."
"Oh..."
"Alright, enough about your abilities. Besides coming here to run away, you're of no use at all."
Kuta muttered as he drank his wine, "Perhaps it could be used on the king of a country, thereby overthrowing that country."
That's about it for now.
"Well..."
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Kuta suddenly felt a silence around him and looked up blankly.
He glanced around.
"Kalkale!!"
"Captain, that's a very dangerous idea!"
Indigo laughed as he looked at Kuta, thinking to himself, "No wonder he's the man who killed the Golden Lion; is all he thinks about is overthrowing the country?"
"Kalkale!!"
"No, don't talk nonsense!"
Kuta quickly explained, "I was just saying it casually, you can't take it seriously!"
Ahua Trio nodded repeatedly.
"Hmm! How could Kuta have such thoughts! He must be drunk."
Of course, these were all jokes; they knew Kuta's personality well enough.
Kuta's lazy nature means he wouldn't be king even if he were offered the position.
Why?
I'm so tired!
He noticed that Bada had been deep in thought ever since he heard what Bada said.
Kuta couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Bada?"
"You're not actually going to do that based on what I told you, are you?!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
"I was just saying, don't take it seriously!"
A glint of light flashed in Bada's eyes. He raised his head, his face serious.
"I think I know why the World Government is so determined to remove Bass."
"Oh! By the way, after all this talk, you still don't know why Bass was wiped out?"
Kuta sat up straight, his face full of curiosity.
Tell me quickly.
"Good."
Bada rested his chin on the back of his hand, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"It all started three years ago with Bass's annual Bass Wine Carnival."
"At the carnival three years ago, a Celestial Dragons came."
"Celestial Dragons?"
"Yes, they are Celestial Dragons."
When the Celestial Dragons were mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Bada's eyes.
"This Celestial Dragons took a liking to Lia as soon as he arrived, and I happened to be away from him at the time, so his Celestial Dragons captured Lia."
"By the time I found out, the carnival was already over."
"And my wife, who is also Lia's mother, was killed while trying to stop the Celestial Dragons from capturing Lia."
Even though three years have passed, he still can't help but get teary-eyed whenever he thinks of his wife's death.
He regretted it more than once.
He regretted not being by his wife and daughter's side at the time.
This led to his wife being killed and his daughter being arrested.
This also caused my daughter to suffer so much inhuman torment.
This may prevent Lia from ever escaping the shadows for the rest of her life.
Chapter 15 Deadly Bullet Holes
When I hear about the Celestial Dragons, these parasites of the world.
Kuta already knew what was going on.
