The Scent-Scent Fruit's Ingenious Uses / Kizaru: Are You a God?

Holding the fruit in his hand, Dimon slowly activated his power of Animation.

At the same time, instructions were issued immediately:

"The transformation must strictly adhere to the image in the portrait, with a human appearance and a female form. Don't get it wrong."

A hazy golden light enveloped the fruit.

This time, the fruit took more than three times longer to transform than before.

Five minutes later, a new demon, bearing a striking resemblance to the woman in the portrait, was finally born.

She has a beautiful figure, with a curvaceous bust and buttocks, and is a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair wearing a pure white dress.

Seeing this, Dimon finally breathed a sigh of relief. This method was feasible, and the previous Lycaon was purely accidental.

The golden light slowly faded, and the beautiful woman with long, straight black hair slowly opened her eyes, her lips parted slightly, and she uttered a somewhat discordant female voice:

"Owner."

"Wait, your eyes..."

Dimon then noticed that the newcomer's pupils were not those of a normal human; they were those of a flower, a blood-red flower.

"My eyes?" The beautiful woman with long, straight black hair touched her eyeballs, looking puzzled.

Dimon looked at the portrait on the table again; the woman in the portrait had her eyes closed and was smiling faintly.

I was careless!

How dare they betray us in a place like this!

"... Nothing." Dimon shook his head; at least in appearance, he was indeed a human female. "What kind of Devil Fruit are you?"

"Master, I am Paramecia Scent-Scent Fruit."

"As expected, she's the type the Charlotte Family loves."

Dimon nodded knowingly, pondering what name to give the child.

Since it's related to fragrance...

It should have a sense of atmosphere, and attention should also be paid to pronunciation.

"Bethanies, from now on you will be called Bethanies."

Chapter 72 The Wonderful Uses of Scent-Scent Fruits (Please continue reading)

Having decided on the name, Dimon then inquired about the other person's abilities.

What are the abilities of the Scent-Scent Fruit?

Bethany has the appearance of a woman, and he is not very willing to let her reside in him, so he refuses physically and can only ask verbally.

With Bethany's explanation, Dimon quickly grasped the core ability of this fruit.

To summarize in one sentence:

By releasing various scents with different effects, one can influence the senses, mental state, and physical condition of others through these scents.

The moment the opponent smells the scent, they're instantly poisoned!

This ability belongs to the "first impression kill" type.

The so-called "first-meet kill" refers to an ability that becomes exceptionally powerful when the opponent is unfamiliar with it.

However, once the principle behind its ability is understood, it can be easily cracked.

For example, the Paramecia Sing-Sing Fruit.

This fruit can draw the listener's spirit into the World of Song through its singing. If this song were broadcast throughout the world via Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi), then everyone in the world would be captivated.

The solution is surprisingly simple: just cover your ears and ignore it.

The same applies to the Scent-Scent Fruit; simply plugging your nose and closing your mouth can counteract its power.

Of course, this refers to the situation where humans eat the Scent-Scent Fruit but have not yet cultivated to the point of Awakening.

Once the Awakening state is reached, another condition will be added for the ability of the Scent-Scent Fruit to take effect.

Direct physical contact can still make the ability work.

"I see, I understand the general idea." Dimon nodded. "So what specific effects does it have?"

"Is it effective?"

Bethany thought carefully, considering how to answer her master's question in a comprehensive yet simple and easy-to-understand way.

"I can use scent to interfere with the target's mind, thereby achieving a hallucinogenic effect."

How intense was the hallucination?

"The more odors inhaled, the stronger the hallucinogenic effect; for ordinary people..."

Bethany recalls the past generations of ability users.

She didn't remember things from too far back; she was Paramecia, not Zoan, but she did retain some memories of the previous user.

The previous host did not develop her abilities to a high level and did not reach the Awakening stage.

Even so, when facing ordinary people, it can still induce a disorientation within three seconds, making the target unable to distinguish friend from foe.

"If I were to perform this, I could probably trap an ordinary person in a hallucination that's hard to distinguish between reality and illusion in an instant."

Dimon asked curiously, "What are the specific manifestations of this hallucination?"

"It can deceive all five senses—touch, smell, taste, pain, and hearing. All five senses will be controlled." Bethany smiled slightly. "Master, would you like to try it yourself?"

Dominated by the five senses? You're like a pirate version of Aizen!

Dimon's expression was subtle; the child's abilities sounded somewhat like Illusion.

"Besides creating illusions?"

Next, Bethany gave a comprehensive account of her own capabilities.

[Healing Aroma]: It can accelerate the target's body's self-healing, at a speed a hundred times faster than normal. The cost is that it will drain the life force of the person being healed, which can also be understood as lifespan.

[Berserk Aroma]: Allows the target to temporarily forget pain and enter berserker form, similar to taking a stimulant, but at the cost of being weakened afterward.

[Paralyzing Aroma]: Paralyzes the opponent's limbs and slows down nerve reactions.

[Heart-Corroding Aroma]: A highly corrosive poison that can cause the target to feel as if they are being burned by fire, eroding their internal organs.

Such derivative capabilities are diverse and cover a wide range of fields.

After listening, Dimon finally had a clear understanding.

This is a very well-rounded Devil Fruit, but her own combat ability isn't particularly strong; her direct combat strength is probably even weaker than that of the Zoan Lycaon.

Bethany leans more towards support roles, and her derivative abilities cover multiple areas such as physical control, mental control, healing, and support buffs.

If only humans ate this fruit, their performance wouldn't be particularly outstanding before they reached Awakening.

After all, all of these abilities depend on "scent" to activate.

But after Awakening, the situation is completely different; the strength of the ability instantly increases by several levels.

"Not bad, not bad."

Dimon nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with Bethany; Big Mom still had some good stuff.

"Now that I understand your capabilities, I have an idea. Why don't you give it a try and see if it works?"

"Master, please give your orders."

Bethany was very well-behaved, behaving like a well-mannered noblewoman in front of Dimon.

Dimon had a strange feeling, as if he had suddenly gained a daughter.

"I've been practicing my Haki lately, but my progress is a bit slow. I hope you can create illusions for me with your fragrance; perhaps that will help my training."

"What kind of illusion does the master want?"

"I need to fight to the death, to break through my own limits in that battle."

Dimon thought for a moment, then quickly came up with an idea. "Let me explain slowly, it's like this..."

This conversation lasted for more than half an hour.

He didn't tell Bethany exactly what kind of hallucination he wanted to create. He said he would know in his heart that it was a hallucination and it might not have a good effect.

He simply showed Bethany how to create a situation that would plunge her into despair, forcing her to fight a desperate battle against her enemy.

"I understand, Master. Shall we begin now?"

After listening to the lengthy explanation, Bethany's face lit up with excitement.

The excitement vanished quickly, Dimon even began to doubt if he had seen things correctly; the child didn't seem as well-behaved as he was now.

He remembered that when Samael was first Animation, that brat wasn't the abstract monster he is now.

"Okay, let's begin."

Shaking his head, Dimon sat cross-legged, collected the chaotic thoughts in his mind, emptied his mind, and entered a meditative state.

A moment later, a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance wafted from the tip of my nose.

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the guest room through the window.

The Big Eye girl hovered in mid-air, gazing at her master, who Storyboard Lockdown, before turning her head to look at the woman on the sofa.

"Hey! Newbie, are you sure you didn't do anything bad to the master?"

"This is the master's own request, Captain."

Bethany held a cup of coffee, sipping it gracefully.

In the locked-down scene, Dimon's face contorts from time to time, as if he is enduring great pain. Sweat soaks his clothes, highlighting his muscular physique.

At the table nearby, Lycaon was enjoying a hearty meal amidst the abundance of food.

The Big Eyes glanced at him sideways and said irritably:

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating! Didn't you eat enough last night?"

"Huh? Captain, what are you saying?"

With his clear, Big Eyes wide open, Lycaon said indistinctly, "You said it was last night, it's the second day now, and we need to eat every day."

Big eater!

Big Eyes seriously doubted whether this guy was actually Ancient Zoan, the Snowfield Ice Wolf. Why would we demons need to eat?

Just then, boom!

Within the Storyboard Space, a powerful and Haki suddenly emanated.

Black energy emanated from Dimon's body, like streaks of black Inazuma that occasionally burst forth.

The sudden turn of events instantly drew the attention of the three.

"Master has successfully Awakening his Haki!"

Chapter 73 Kizaru: Are you a god?

"Call..."

Dimon let out a soft breath and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the scenery around him and confirmed that he was in the hotel, everything felt like yesterday.

"What a realistic illusion! It's only because I knew beforehand that I could tell the difference; most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference even until they die."

In his hallucination, he experienced three days.

They encountered several major battles, each more intense than the last, and each one a life-or-death crisis.

The final outcome was positive. By using the pressure of the death crisis to push his potential, he finally seized the opportunity and Awakening his domineering Haki.

Looking down at his hands, he repeatedly opened and closed his fingers, an invisible energy swirling around them.

Upon Awakening his Haki, he possessed an impressive level of power, all thanks to the Longevity Wine he had been drinking, which granted him extraordinary vitality.
