After an unknown amount of time...
Luffy lay on the ground, panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.
But his face was beaming with immense joy.
Beside him, Vegito stood tall and imposing, his imposing figure still exuding a powerful aura.
He lowered his head slightly, looked at Luffy lying on the ground panting heavily, and couldn't help but smile as he said:
"No way! Luffy! How come you're already exhausted after such a short time?"
"I remember you were really arrogant when Awakening your Nika Form!"
"Huff~ Huff~"
"Veget... Vegito... how did your strength increase so much all of a sudden?"
Luffy asked, panting heavily.
Luffy a little jealous as he struggled to surpass Vegito's strength.
You are qualified to drive the Vegito!
But in the blink of an eye, Vegito transformed and became stronger than him, so the qualification he had worked so hard to obtain was completely wasted.
"Hahaha..."
"You think my transformation is a joke?! With my mecha core, I can truly be considered the culmination of the Great Kingdom's technology!"
"Before I had the mecha core, my strength was less than half of what it is now, so how could you possibly beat me!"
"Especially since you've only just Awakening the Nika Form's abilities and haven't yet developed it to the second stage!"
"Two-stage form?"
Upon hearing Luffy paused for a moment, then looked at Vegito with curiosity and a look of inquiry in his eyes.
"That's right!"
"Second-stage form!"
Vegito nodded and continued:
" The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika is one of only two fruits in this world to bear the name of a god, so it is naturally different from other fruits!"
"The biggest difference is that the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika can be Second Awakening, and the power after the Second Awakening is much stronger than the first Awakening!"
"Your current strength already places you among the top experts in this world, but if you were to Second Awakening..."
At this point, Vegito paused, his gaze involuntarily shifting to Xia Chen not far away, before turning back to Luffy, and said:
"Besides your master, you should have no other rivals in this world!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing Luffy jumped up from the ground, his eyes instantly turning into stars.
He was radiating excitement, showing no trace of the exhaustion he had just displayed.
"My fruit can Second Awakening? How can it Second Awakening that?"
Luffy immediately asked.
"The essence of Devil Fruit Awakening is that when your mind and body grow to the point where they can keep up with your fruit, it will Awakening!"
"The first Awakening is like this, and the Second Awakening is no different!"
(⊙o⊙)...
However, after Vegito finished speaking, Luffy looked at him with a blank expression, his face full of confusion.
He recognized and understood all the words Vegito spoke, but why couldn't he understand their meaning when they were put together?
Vegito:...
Seeing Luffy's appearance, Vegito couldn't help but slap his forehead.
I almost forgot, Luffy is an idiot, you can't talk to him about anything profound.
With this in mind, Vegito spoke again:
In plain terms, when you become strong enough, the fruit will naturally Awakening!
Sure enough, after Vegito finished speaking, Luffy immediately clapped his hands and said with Satori:
"Oh, I understand!"
On the other side, Robin looked curiously at Vegapunk beside her and asked:
"Doctor! Luffy's Devil Fruit can actually Second Awakening?"
Vegapunk:...
"Hmm... I don't know either!"
After a long silence, Vegapunk finally shrugged and said...
Everyone:...
If you don't know, then why are you pretending to think for so long?
When Vegito and Luffy were fighting, everyone came out of the building and watched the almost overwhelming battle together.
Vegapunk looked at Vegito and said calmly:
"But since Vegito said it's possible to Awakening, then it should be possible to Second Awakening!"
"I only know a little about the Devil Fruit called the Name of God, the Straw Hat Boy; I certainly don't have any deeper knowledge about it!"
"After all, the World Government has erased everything related to it from history!"
"I only learned about the existence of this fruit from some historical records, and also from when I saw the Joy Boy projection; he briefly mentioned it to me!"
Vegapunk paused for a moment, then looked at Vegito with an expression of amazement and said:
"I had considered that the technology of the Great Kingdom nine hundred years ago was very advanced, but I never imagined it would reach this level!"
"What an amazing creation!"
"With my current abilities, I definitely couldn't build something like that!"
"Don't underestimate yourself! The reason you can't build this thing is simply because you're a technological pioneer in this era!"
No one can guide you; you have to rely on yourself!
"If you lived in the era of the Great Kingdom, I also believe you could become one of its top scientists!"
Xia Chen looked at Vegapunk and said calmly.
Xia Chen had never doubted Vegapunk's abilities; after all, the fact that he could create so many groundbreaking products in this era speaks volumes.
Moreover, he developed all of these on his own, which makes them even more valuable.
Originality and plagiarism are not the same thing!
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Vegapunk glanced at Xia Chen in surprise, then burst into laughter, which lasted for a long time before finally stopping.
"Hahaha..."
"That's what I think too!"
Everyone:...
Then Xia Chen turned his gaze to Luffy and Vegito on the other side and said softly:
" Luffy's Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika can indeed be Second Awakening!"
"But with Luffy's current strength, he still has a long way to go before he can Second Awakening!"
"Furthermore, even if Luffy reaches that level of strength and awakens the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika Second Awakening, he's not invincible in this world except for me!"
There's one more person Luffy would never be a match for!
Xia Chen's calm words caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.
Even Luffy and Vegito, who were not far away, heard Xia Chen's words and turned their gazes over.
Vegito looked at Xia Chen, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"Master! The person you're talking about..."
Is that Imu?
"Right!"
Xia Chen nodded and said:
"That Imu guy isn't as simple as you think, Vegito!"
