"Why aren't you asleep so late? What's the rush?" Vic glanced at Rebecca, grabbed a blanket, and covered his knees before asking.
" Vic! I came here to ask you how to develop the power of this Float-Float Fruit. You're the smartest person on the warship, who else would I ask if not you!"
Rebecca looked completely innocent. Now she was also a Devil Fruit user, and she had even eaten the Devil Fruit that Golden Lion had once possessed.
Who is Golden Lion? He was once on par with the Pirate King Roger, and she didn't want to let such an awesome Devil Fruit go to waste.
When it comes to developing Devil Fruit, she only admires Vic. Under Vic's guidance, Barnett's Replenish-Replenish Fruit has become very powerful, allowing him to recover from injuries, energy, and stamina.
Moreover, there were still many goals ahead of him to overcome, so Rebecca took a shortcut and came looking for him just two days after eating the Float-Float Fruit. If Vic hadn't been injured, she probably would have come to ask about it the moment she ate the fruit.
"To fully develop Devil Fruit, one needs to delve into its essence, and from there, one can also expand horizontally."
The Float-Float Fruit is Paramecia ability, but it also belongs to the Logia, and is an ability related to gravity.
He can make objects he touches float without gravity, but I think there are still some issues with the development of the Float-Float Fruit -Golden Lion. It shouldn't just make objects lose gravity; it should also have the ability to increase the gravity of objects.
We can't be misled by the name of the fruit. I think the Golden Lion was misled by the name of the fruit, which led him to never think about it in that direction. So I hope you can explore both aspects when developing it!
After pondering for a while, Vic said that he thought of Xiao's ability, which was also related to gravity. Although he could not fly, he could fly by using objects, which was the effect of anti-gravity.
Although Issho's abilities haven't been specifically described, they are definitely not Logia. They are most likely related to gravity, so they can be considered a branch of Devil Fruits. They are similar to the Float-Float Fruit, but there are some differences.
Therefore, Vic argues that Fujitora's gravity manipulation ability allows him to fly, Float-Float Fruit can't reverse gravity. Add to that the speed and object manipulation abilities granted by the Float-Float Fruit, and its power would definitely be elevated to another level. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to challenge Issho in the future, would it?
"Ah! Golden Lion is already so strong, and he still hasn't fully developed his Devil Fruit ability? If he did, wouldn't he be able to easily defeat the Pirate King Roger? The Float-Float Fruit can be developed like this!"
Rebecca was stunned by Vic's words. Could Devil Fruit abilities be developed like this? Even a powerful being like Golden Lion only developed half of it? She really wanted to crack open Vic's head to see what was inside. How could someone have such a wild imagination!
" Golden Lion's strength doesn't come from the Float-Float Fruit; his power stems from his Haki and swordsmanship. The Float-Float Fruit only plays a supporting role."
It's not very useful in the eyes of the strong, so don't focus too much on your training. You should still focus on Haki and swordsmanship. Devil Fruit abilities can sometimes limit your strength. Aren't there Seastone Handcuffs on the warship? Wear them when you're not doing anything. Once you get used to that feeling of powerlessness, you'll have fewer openings!
For powerful figures like Golden Lion and Whitebeard, Devil Fruit abilities are really just supplementary; they are almost useless against opponents of the same level.
Having enough Haki can nullify abilities, but before one has fully developed, having Devil Fruit ability still provides some protection for one's life. However, when facing Karami, using one's ability can wipe out a large group of enemies, creating a very imposing presence.
"Okay, I understand, but the increase in Haki is so slow!"
Vic didn't tell Rebecca a way to quickly increase her Haki. Like everyone else, Rebecca already had little Haki and was reluctant to use it, which completely contradicted Vic's method. This is why some people become stronger in battle, while others become weaker the more they play it safe, both physically and mentally.
"Once we get to the New World, your Haki will increase rapidly, Rebecca! Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wield ten thousand swords?"
Vic doesn't plan to tell Rebecca the method of training in the Haki. He'll remind her indirectly when they get to the New World. Anyway, he won't tell anyone directly. The people around him can lead them in that direction, but he can't tell them openly.
"Use ten thousand swords? How is that even possible? Are you kidding me!"
Rebecca didn't understand why her Haki would increase so rapidly in the New World, but she believed what Vic said. However, she couldn't imagine what it would be like to have 10,000 swords. How would she hold them? She estimated that she could only hold three, and she would have to carry one in her mouth.
"Have you forgotten the power of the Float-Float Fruit? It allows anything it touches to float, and you can even control flight. Imagine tens of thousands of swords hovering behind you."
With just a thought, you could unleash a barrage of swords—can you even imagine that scene?
If your Haki were exceptionally strong, and you could coat all your swords with Haki, that would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction. Unfortunately, Golden Lion) never even considered that.
This ability, when used in naval warfare, would leave the enemy no foothold; their ships would be utterly destroyed!
Vic directly linked the Float-Float Fruit's power to sword control, a power very similar to the magical artifacts in fantasy worlds recognizing their masters. If the fruit is developed properly, ten thousand swords wouldn't be a problem.
Controlling so many swords is a huge test of one's brain. Vic thinks Rebecca's brain might not be up to the task, but she should be able to control the flying swords in one direction. If she can control just a few dozen of these tens of thousands of swords, she can achieve great feats.
"This... this, ten thousand swords behind me..."
With Vic's straightforward explanation, Rebecca finally visualized the scene of wielding countless swords, but the image deeply shocked her. Those Shrouding the Heavens swords behind her—wouldn't any enemy be terrified just by looking at them?
She really didn't know how Vic could come up with such a shocking move. He could totally become a master guide in Devil Fruit development, and then there might really be no such thing as a useless Devil Fruit.
Vic always has different directions to explore when it comes to the development of Devil Fruit. Rebecca now really thinks that Golden Lion has wasted this fruit. If Vic had this fruit, he would truly become a god. However, Vic is already Thunder God, so he doesn't need to worry about this one.
Vic himself didn't think so. Even the strongest Devil Fruit is relative. A powerful figure like Kaido should know this well. Since he said that Haki is above all else, then it must be true.
