"Have you confirmed that those documents are authentic?"
In Mary Geoise, the Five Elders casually asked the newly arrived Kong about the Yin Seal.
Although it's not true immortality, being able to maintain youth is still quite good, and even the five of them would greatly need this power.
"Although I haven't finished reading all the materials, Vegapunk has basically confirmed their authenticity, although some of them are a bit too detailed."
Kong couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the state of mind he had when he looked at those materials. The information was indeed very detailed, but it contained a lot of rubbish, and one could easily be led astray.
He couldn't take it anymore after reading two or three pages. Even Vegapunk, who was said to have wisdom that surpassed the entire era by five hundred years, could only last for three days before he had to give up.
Reading those materials was so mentally taxing; it was simply not something a human could do.
However, they also confirmed the authenticity of the information. As long as they could thoroughly understand it, they could create a Yin Seal on their own.
"As long as it's true, that's fine!"
One of the bald Five Elders breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely worried that there might be something wrong with the information!
"Are you sure Zephyr is really going to die soon?"
Another Five Elders's sharp gaze was fixed on Kong Kong, while the other Five Elders turned their attention back to him.
The fact that he was able to create such a heaven-defying secret technique as the Yin Seal and the Navy One Hundred and Eight Powers has already proven how terrifying that man is. If it weren't for that incident back then, they wouldn't have been able to completely subdue Zephyr, and they would have really wanted to win him over.
Just like dealing with Vegapunk, except the other party is a peerless genius of the same level as Vegapunk, but one is more inclined towards technology and the other towards individual cultivation.
If they can control these two individuals, the power of the World Government will surely surge, suppressing all dissenting voices in the world.
What a pity!
Kong did not respond to this question, but instead looked at an old man who had followed him in.
This is a Devil Fruit User with a very special ability: the ability to discern the limits of another person's lifespan.
Although this ability is rather useless, it can be very useful in certain aspects.
After receiving intelligence that the man might not have much time left, he specifically brought the old man along so that he could secretly observe the man and confirm whether his lifespan was truly nearing its end.
"Replying to the five lords, Marine Zephyr is very strong, which has somewhat affected my observations, but he has at most one year of natural lifespan left."
The old man replied respectfully.
"Natural lifespan?"
The burly Five Elders understood the crux of the problem: if there is a natural lifespan, then there must also be an unnatural one—that's the variable.
"The world is vast and full of wonders; there are treasures that can extend lifespan, such as some Devil Fruit with special abilities."
The old man replied respectfully, as he needed to make this clear, otherwise he couldn't bear the wrath of the Five Elders if something unexpected happened in the future.
"It is indeed a variable, but the impact will not be significant!"
After a moment's thought, the Five Elders made their judgment on the matter.
There are indeed treasures or Devil Fruit abilities in the world that can prolong life, but they are extremely rare and hard to find, even with the power of their World Government, let alone a mere naval admiral.
Therefore, there's no need to worry too much about it. Compared to that, the Eternal Pose left by Pirate King Roger is more important and must be found and destroyed as soon as possible.
" Zephyr showed clear hostility towards me and the World Government that day; he must know something about what happened back then."
Kong spoke last.
"It's good if he's hostile; I'm afraid he's not hostile at all!"
After giving Kong a deep look, the bald Five Elders, holding a knife, said in a deep voice, "We don't need to pay too much attention to a dying man. The priority now is to find Roger's Eternal Pose as soon as possible. There must not be a second Roger on the high seas!"
They didn't care about the hostility Wang Hao showed; it would have been more alarming if the man had shown kindness!
If that's the case, it proves that the man is a terrifyingly cunning individual, like a lurking venomous snake, who knows when he'll bite.
However, the other party made no attempt to conceal his hostility, clearly a rough and uncultured man from a military background. Even if his talent for cultivation was unmatched, he was still nothing more than a pawn in their hands.
Is it really as they think?
On the other side, Wang Hao and Binz needed some time to modify the twenty-nine tree islands. They also needed to use the abundant resources on the Sabaody Archipelago to modify these tree islands and stockpile a large amount of daily necessities in preparation for welcoming tens of millions of disabled naval soldiers from various branches in the future.
So Wang Hao stayed there and did not immediately set off from the Sabaody Archipelago.
During the time Wang Hao stayed, Sengoku Garp and the others seized the opportunity to come and ask him for advice.
Although they received a special inheritance tailored for them by Wang Hao, it didn't mean they could Mash after receiving the inheritance.
That kind of inheritance was far too profound for them, and they had to ask Wang Hao for guidance from time to time.
"Let me remind you again, the potential of Devil Fruit is limitless. The only limits to their development are the limits of our world and your imagination."
You are all Logia Devil Fruit User. Your ultimate goal in developing your abilities should not be limited to visible matter and energy, but should be to advance towards the conceptual level.
For example, Sakazuki's Magma-Magma Fruit. Magma itself is a term we humans used to name, but who says magma can only be the kind found deep underground in our world?
Generally speaking, the state of a substance after it has melted can basically be called magma.
The sun in the sky is also a planet, containing liquid, high-temperature matter, also known as magma. The sun is countless times farther away from us, but we can still feel the heat generated by the energy emitted by sunlight. One can imagine how terrifying the temperature of the sun itself and even its internal magma must be.
If you could truly evolve your Magma-Magma Fruit to that extent, it would be enough to destroy our entire world.
Similarly, Borsalino, your Glint-Glint Fruit is essentially light, and light itself is a form of energy, Dadu derived from the sun. That will be the source of your power. If you develop the fruit's ability to a certain extent, could you control the sun in our sky?
Even if you can't control the sun itself, it's always possible to control the boundless energy of light it emits, right? If you could achieve that, you would be Invincible in the world.
For example, I once saw an ancient book in Ohara that described an alien race called the Kryptonian, who called themselves the Child of the Sun and could absorb sunlight for their own use.
The most powerful Kryptonian, Superman Clark, could even blow away a star in one breath—the Sun—making him virtually unmatched throughout the universe.
Kuzan, your Ice-Ice Fruit ability is not bad either, but you've gone astray in its development. You shouldn't limit yourself to so-called physical ice blocks; you should develop it towards the conceptual level.
For example, Ice Seal light energy, or even going further Ice Seal space and time, and even freezing human thought—that's the direction you should strive for.
Ancient texts from Ohara record the story of a female general named Esdeath, who was also Devil Fruit User and developed a technique called Mahapadma, capable of Ice Seal time and space...
Wang Hao sat on a rock, thoroughly fooling the numerous high-ranking naval officers in front of him. The Three Admirals sitting at the very front had been completely fooled, and even the usually most composed Akainu Sakazuki was so excited that his old face turned red.
However, he wasn't just making things up; aside from the examples he gave which were fabricated, everything else was the truth.
It should be understood that the essence of Devil Fruit is the power of the world's origin, the most powerful and primal force in this world. If one can completely refine it, one can control a certain degree of world authority and become a true god.
One can absolutely rely on the power of the Devil Fruit itself to grow to the limit of this world, that is, the Celestial Person Realm expert. In fact, one could say that the Devil Fruit is a ticket directly to the Celestial Person Realm.
The biggest hurdle has been removed; one only needs to cultivate to the minimum standard to become a god. This is practically a powerful cheat code!
"Teacher, I am Paramecia Metal-Metal Devil Fruit User, but I feel that the potential of my fruit ability is too low, and I feel that I have reached the limit of progress!"
A burly Vice Admiral, standing at least four meters tall, stood up and expressed his distress.
The Metal-Metal Fruit granted him a body of steel, which was indeed very powerful in the early stages, but at his current level, the steel body no longer provides much assistance.
This steel body is only good for tormenting newbies; it's not very effective against opponents of the same or even higher level.
Now it has become a burden, making him always feel restricted in battle because of the Devil Fruit's weakness to seawater and Seastone.
Moreover, he felt that what his mentor had said before was of little help to his troubles; his Metal-Metal Fruit ability still had too little potential.
"It's Steve! I remember you weren't Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User when you graduated, did you acquire it later?"
Wang Hao retrieved the student's information from his predecessor Zephyr's memories. The student was a talent that his predecessor had paid close attention to and had already risen to the rank of Vice Admiral.
"Yes, teacher, I unexpectedly obtained a Devil Fruit after graduation, which gave me these abilities."
"Could you elaborate on what kind of ability user you are? Although Devil Fruit are divided into three main categories— Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia— they can be further subdivided. For example, the Paramecia is divided into Superman and superpowers."
Superman are those who directly cause abnormal changes to their bodies, such as being able to turn into a wooden puppet. Superpowers are like Binz's Shove-Shove Fruit, which grants him the extraordinary ability to control plant growth.
Wang Hao asked in a friendly manner, "These students who graduated from my former master's ranks are all people who can be easily fooled!"
"I am Superman. I can transform myself into a body of steel, and based on my knowledge of various types of steel, I can make this body of steel constantly evolve and become stronger. But now I can no longer find a stronger piece of steel."
Even those Supreme Great Grade Sword rely solely on the special energy they contain, not on the strength of their steel material.
As Steve spoke, he activated his abilities, and his entire body transformed into a silvery-white metallic form.
"That's great, it's a very promising skill!"
Wang Hao gave a serious evaluation, saying that this was indeed a very powerful ability.
Before Steve could speak, Wang Hao continued, " Steve, you are a metal man, not an iron man. Don't limit the evolution of your physical abilities to just the steel aspect."
Steel is indeed one of the most superior metals among common metals, and many alloys are even cast based on steel. However, there are many other metallic substances besides steel.
For example, I've heard of a special metal called Vibranium. Its molecules are relatively stationary and conduct almost no heat or kinetic energy. This property allows it to absorb heat, energy, and kinetic energy, making it virtually an absolute defense.
Speaking of your name, there's someone in history who has a connection to you. He was a national Hero, also named Steve, and known as Captain. He possessed a Vibranium shield, which he once easily used to block a full-force attack from Thor, God of Thunder, the Devil Fruit User of the Vibranium -Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
There is also a metal called Adamantium Alloy, which is indestructible once it solidifies; it will not melt or deform even when placed in the sun.
After being misled to this point, Wang Hao suddenly looked at Steve with a completely bewildered expression.
Suddenly, Steve's originally silvery-white metal right hand slowly turned into a cold, dark black, while his metal left hand turned into a bright gold.
