The Newfoundland Islands in the North Blue the West Blue Sea.
The Capone Family's headquarters are located on York Island in the archipelago.
After more than a month of secret screening and purge, Apostle Bege has purged the core members of the Capone Family and replaced them all with elite members of the Noah Family. At the same time, he has also recruited some rehabilitated teenagers from the lower ranks of the Capone Family.
In order to effectively eliminate the core members of the Capone Family, Bege and Off collaborated on several occasions, orchestrating numerous ambushes of each other to use the other's influence to eliminate dissidents.
After completing the initial internal cleanup, Bege handed over some management duties to elite members of the Noah Family, while she herself cooperated with Noah to conduct experiments.
Inside an underground cave on York Island.
A notorious mafia member, whose frontal lobe had been cut off and left him in a dazed state, was then put into Noah's mouth by the sliced Carp Fruit.
Bege saw the test subject eat the Devil Fruit and then swallowed it into the Castle Space within her body.
Inside the Castle Space, several personnel who had been waiting quickly led the test subject into one of the rooms, which was filled with fruits similar to the Carp Fruit.
Then, with a single stroke, the test subject's throat was severed.
As the test subject dies, the information body of the Carp Fruit within its body begins to break free from the test subject's soul. However, as soon as the information body of the Carp Fruit leaves the test subject, it encounters an insurmountable spatial barrier.
There is a special spatial barrier between the Castle Space and the outside world. Unless Bege opens the exit, the two spaces are completely isolated.
The Carp Fruit information entity wandered aimlessly throughout the Castle Space until, after more than ten minutes, it bumped into one of the apples, transforming the apple back into Carp Fruit.
The personnel monitoring the room quickly discovered the apple that had transformed into the Carp Fruit and immediately reported this to Bege.
Inside the laboratory outside.
"Lord Noah, the experiment was a success."
"Success? It seems I was right." Noah had actually done some research and made some guesses about the regeneration mechanism of Devil Fruit long ago.
From the memories of his past life, he knew that the two Devil Fruit a fixed method of rebirth.
These are the gravitational lock of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the faith lock of Alabasta.
In addition, Noah also analyzed a third method from the Dark-Dark Fruit's method of fixing and regenerating Devil Fruit: spatial locking.
Since the Dark-Dark Fruit's gravity can attract Devil Fruit information entities, then other dimensions should also be able to do so, since the small other dimensions created by other fruits are relatively independent of the One Piece world.
The information body of the fruit could not even break free from strong gravity. The spatial barrier of the other dimension was even stronger than strong gravity, so the information body of the fruit would inevitably have difficulty breaking through its blockade and could only be forced to enter the fruit in the other dimension.
As for this method of rebirth Space-Space Fruit, why hasn't anyone else figured it out?
The answer is very simple.
On one hand, fruits that possess a different dimension are extremely rare. Currently known fruits that possess a different dimension are the Dark-Dark Fruit, Door-Door Fruit, Munch-Munch Fruit, Castle-Castle Fruit Swamp-Swamp Fruit, Mirror-Mirror Fruit, Book-Book Fruit, and Card-Card Fruit.
The spaces of the Card-Card Fruit and the Book-Book Fruit are static, making it impossible to kill and steal them within their spaces.
Therefore, only six fruits remain that can be used to carry out the plan of killing someone to obtain the fruit.
However, without the "observer's" God's-eye view, the natives of the One Piece world rarely think in this direction and can only rely on luck.
In other words, unless the six Devil Fruit users mentioned above pull other Devil Fruit User into another dimension and kill them, and there happens to be a large number of fruits in that other dimension, it would be impossible to discover the secret of fruit regeneration.
Among the six Devil Fruits, the Dark-Dark Devil Fruit User has the highest probability of discovering the secret of rebirth.
Why do you think so?
First of all, the alternate dimension opened by the Door-Door Fruit is the inner world of the One Piece world. This means that the alternate dimension opened Door-Door Fruit the Door-Door Fruit does not have the function of storing things, so the user would naturally not store fruit in it.
After all, if you store fruit in the Sabaody Archipelago, you won't be able to retrieve it once you open the door in the New World, which defeats the purpose of the storage space.
The same principle applies to the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.
While the Munch-Munch Fruit, Castle-Castle Fruit, and Swamp-Swamp Fruit have a certain probability of capturing Devil Fruit User, their actual chances are relatively low.
The Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to nullify a user's powers, combined with its ability to absorb objects into a dark space, increases the likelihood of encountering situations where both the user and the fruit are in the same dark space.
If Noah is not mistaken, the reason Marshall Teach is so obsessed with the Dark-Dark Fruit is because he once obtained information left behind by a former Dark-Dark Devil Fruit User. He learned that the Dark-Dark Fruit can absorb the killed user into a dark space, store the fruit there, and force the fruit's information body to be reborn within that dark space.
However, this does not mean that the ability to force fruits to regenerate is exclusive to the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Noah originally planned to use the Munch-Munch Fruit to create an Apostle and then test this hypothesis.
However, he discovered that the Castle-Castle Fruit was more suitable for experimentation, which led to this experiment.
When the Carp Fruit was placed in front of Noah, his smile grew even brighter.
He quickly retrieved the ability user who had been sealed away.
Guro, the Devil Fruit User the Parrot Fruit.
Dick, the Devil Fruit User the Turtle-Turtle Fruit.
Austin, the Devil Fruit User the Worm-Worm Fruit.
Catarina Devon, a user of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox.
And Diamante, who was created as Card Apostle.
These people were not transformed into Apostle by Noah, but remained within the sealed cards. Now, it's finally time to put them to good use.
The reason Diamante was included in the recycling program is very simple: Diamante's Vivre Card is in the hands of the Donquixote Family, and the Glint-Glint Fruit is not cost-effective, so Noah chose to recycle the fruit.
Send these people into the Castle Space.
A short while later.
Five freshly made Devil Fruit were placed in front of him.
With these five Devil Fruit, the Noah Family now possesses a total of 17 Devil Fruit.
Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit -Paste-Paste Fruit, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, the Tone-Tone Fruit, and the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Zoan Standard Zoan Carp Fruit, Rattlesnake Fruit, Red Fox Fruit, Crow-Crow Fruit, Sheep Fruit, Red Spider-Spider Fruit, Mantis-Mantis Fruit, Parrot-Parrot Fruit, Turtle Fruit, and Earthworm Fruit.
The Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit and the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox.
After thinking for a while, he used Den Den Mushi to instruct Ray to bring over the six squad leaders from the Distillery.
As one of the first elite members of the family, being able to stand out and become a team leader is clearly not only due to strong abilities, but more importantly, also because of their competence and loyalty.
These people made a great contribution to the family's intelligence system for opening up the four seas and the Grand Line. Noah did not continue to store these fruits, but planned to distribute them to these newly promoted officers.
After all, the potential of many family members is limited, and even outstanding officers find it difficult to reach the level of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral based solely on physical skills, swordsmanship, and Haki.
This is where the value of Devil Fruit becomes apparent.
