"I know a pretty similar move myself."
A gaping, blood-red maw opened on Shane's stomach, and the same happened on the fleshy pads of both his palms.
The Munch-Munch Fruit combined with Vampire Form, backed by rubber's resilience and the Azure Dragon's endurance.
In this form, he could absorb as much energy as possible.
And convert every last bit of it into his own life force!
If Linlin devoured souls to keep her mental reserves full, Shane used the Munch-Munch Fruit to gain an endless health bar!
Mental strength was willpower, and a health bar was endurance.

What Shane prized most about the Munch-Munch Fruit was still synthesis: devouring everything, then selecting the parts he needed to use.
And he never had to worry about going hungry. He could eat anything.

Linlin was in a rage. She had always left her children to fend for themselves, let alone now.
If these people could truly be used to threaten Linlin, someone would probably have used them against her back on Hachinosu.

But what if seawater attacked his soul?
Or if his bones
