Nami noticed something was wrong.
"The limits of basic abilities?"
"Can development continue?"
"Cannot."
Uchiha Xin's answer was very direct.
"In order to rewrite the Law of Fruits, I abandoned its potential for further development."
This Float-Float Fruit cannot continue to grow.
"It also lost the upper limit of Devil Fruit Awakening."
Perona's initial excitement subsided somewhat.
"Unable to Awakening?"
"Doesn't that mean the strongest part is missing?"
Robin shook his head.
"Not necessarily."
She gazed at the azure orb.
There are many Devil Fruit User on the high seas.
"Those who can truly Devil Fruit Awakening are pitifully few."
" The Golden Lion has possessed the Float-Float Fruit for decades, enabling it to levitate dozens of islands for extended periods; its development is nearing its limit."
"But he also failed to achieve a clear Devil Fruit Awakening."
"This ability requires no training; once integrated, all basic abilities can be used directly."
"It also eliminated the weaknesses of seawater and Seastone."
"It can act more directly on living organisms."
Even if it can never Awakening, its overall effect will not be weaker than the original Float-Float Fruit after Awakening.
Tashigi nodded.
"Trading a difficult-to-reach Awakening limit for instantly possessing full power."
"This exchange is a great deal."
"It's not just about being cost-effective."
Nami focused her gaze on the orb of light again.
"Ordinary people who obtain Devil Fruit need to spend years or even decades developing it."
"It's not certain that it will reach the level of the Golden Lion."
"This fruit, however, allows one to skip the entire process."
"Once the fusion is complete, one will directly possess the foundation of a top-tier ability user."
"The lost potential is negligible."
Perona understood after hearing that.
"I was almost scared by the inability to Awakening."
"If I were to cultivate on my own, I don't know how many years it would take to develop the Float-Float Fruit to its full potential."
"Now that we can directly obtain all the abilities, what's there to be afraid of not being able to Awakening?"
Robin didn't reply.
The way she looked at Uchiha Xin had changed.
Kill the Devil Fruit user and extract the Devil Fruit.
The essence of the fruit is completely separated from the corpse.
To allow someone who already possesses a Devil Fruit ability to absorb a second power.
Any one of these things, if it got out, would be enough to drive the entire ocean into a frenzy.
But Uchiha Xin did far more than that.
He completely removed the limitations of seawater and Seastone from the Float-Float Fruit.
It also allows abilities that were originally ineffective against living beings to directly grant others the ability to fly.
This is no longer about developing Devil Fruit.
Instead, it's about modifying the rules of Devil Fruit themselves.
The World Government has been researching Devil Fruit for many years.
Vegapunk is even hailed as a scientist who was 500 years ahead of his time.
At most, they can create Artificial Devil Fruit, or grant fruit abilities to inanimate objects.
Uchiha Xin, however, directly altered the nature of the Float-Float Fruit.
If the news gets out, the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the World Government will all be watching him.
Those with abilities trapped by seawater and Seastone will spare no effort to find him.
Robin could no longer use common sense to judge how many more tricks Uchiha Xin had up his sleeve.
After completing the seventh stage of the Eye of God, his power recovered faster and faster.
Each time he makes a move, he gains a new ability that is incomprehensible to outsiders.
Robin suppressed the shock in his heart.
This matter must not be leaked.
"At least until the Sky Island Legion is fully formed, the outside world must not know that you can modify Devil Fruit."
Tashigi immediately understood the reason.
"I will keep the news under wraps."
"Once the legion gains the ability to fly, it will only register it as a special force of the Sky Island."
Nami looked at Uchiha Xin.
"So, to whom are we going to give this fruit?"
"Didn't you call us all here just to choose one of us?"
Shirahoshi was still swaying her tail, trying out the feeling of flight she had just experienced.
Upon hearing Nami's words, she looked down at the luminous orb.
Is it precious?
Robin came to her side.
"Very precious."
" The Golden Lion used this ability to keep dozens of islands hovering at an altitude of 20,000 meters."
"His Flying Pirates was once one of the strongest forces on the seas."
Shirahoshi blinked.
"Is the Golden Lion the one who was defeated by Uchiha Lord Xin?"
"Um."
Robin did not mention that Shiki had been killed.
"He is a very formidable enemy."
"Xin gained this ability after defeating him."
"After the modifications, it is now stronger than before."
After understanding, Shirahoshi immediately looked at Uchiha Xin.
" Uchiha Lord Xin is amazing."
Her tone was not at all perfunctory.
She didn't know how strong Shiki was.
She had no idea how precious the Float-Float Fruit was.
All she knew was that Uchiha Xin had accomplished what no one else could.
Perona saw the look of admiration on her face and couldn't help but purse her lips.
Nami also glanced at Uchiha Xin.
Vivi gently shook her head.
Even Tashigi's gaze held a hint of helplessness.
Uchiha Xin, however, found it quite agreeable.
He reached out and ruffled Shirahoshi's hair.
Do you want it?
Shirahoshi glanced at the light orb and shook her head.
"Don't want."
Uchiha Xin was somewhat surprised.
"Why?"
"I can levitate now."
Shirahoshi pointed to herself.
"After the modification is completed, it will also be able to obtain human legs."
"When I want to fly, I can just go find Uchiha Lord Xin."
"Such precious things should be left to those who need them more."
After she finished speaking, she added:
"And I don't want to take things from Sister Robin and the others."
Uchiha Xin looked at Shirahoshi.
This maturity isn't something you can fake.
She was trapped in the Hard-Shell Tower for eight years.
He is timid and rarely interacts with outsiders.
But she never became selfish because of it.
Uchiha Xin ruffled her hair again.
"If you ever want to fly again, come find me anytime."
"Um!"
Shirahoshi nodded.
Perona hugged Kumashi, her face full of disdain.
"Master, your smile is too obvious."
Nami then said:
"It's just a compliment, is it really that big of a deal?"
Vivi didn't speak, but turned her face away.
Tashigi pushed the scabbard forward.
Shyarly immediately looked away.
Uchiha Xin scanned the crowd.
"You have a problem with that?"
"No."
Perona answered the fastest.
She said no, but she rolled her Byakugan.
Uchiha Xin was too lazy to argue with her.
"Since Shirahoshi doesn't want it, you can decide for yourselves."
Nami looked at Tashigi.
"I already possess the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"While the Float-Float Fruit is powerful, my main abilities are lightning and weather."
"Simultaneously focusing on controlling two kinds of fruit may not be suitable."
Tashigi shook her head as well.
"My core fighting skill is swordsmanship."
"Flying ability can enhance maneuverability, but it's not worth diverting all my attention to."
Vivi does not possess Devil Fruit powers.
She was originally one of the most suitable candidates for integration.
