Chapter 138 Seastone and Devil Fruit
"Teacher Ross, your special clouds contain seastone factors?"

Borsalino was shocked, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

He remembered the kind of cloud they were riding on at the time. Was he right that it was improved by Teacher Ross through island clouds?

But he didn't feel any discomfort. He didn't have that feeling of soreness all over his body when he came into contact with the sea water. He even felt more comfortable when he slept.

The soft touch makes people unable to help but sink into it as soon as they fall asleep.

"Hehe, this involves the application and analysis of seastone factors, which is what you are studying now, little Walter. However, your father has already thoroughly studied this research several years ago~~"

Ross smiled slightly, feeling very happy. It was quite refreshing to show off his knowledge in front of his son and see his son's eyes full of doubt and admiration.

He said slowly:
"I will teach you the basics in this area, but you will need to learn and discover the deeper knowledge on your own. Blindly following the path of predecessors is a taboo in both science and development!
This method has an academic name: cramming. This method is only suitable for grassroots popularization. The real cutting-edge knowledge is always the way to go by yourself. "

"I understand!"

Walter nodded to show that he understood. He also felt that if he followed his father's path, his final achievements might not be very great.

In other words, his thinking may overlap to a great extent with that of his father, resulting in most of the things he finally researches being what his father had left over.

"Well, it's good that you understand this, but you should ask and learn the basic knowledge. For example, the seastone factor viscous substance you mentioned is basic knowledge that even I, your father, don't know."

Ross' voice was full of pride. It could be said that there was absolutely no research on seastone in this ocean. Perhaps only Vegapunk could get a glimpse of it with the help of the Brain-Brain Fruit.

For example, the future Seraph androids, their so-called green blood should also have the results of seastone research, otherwise it would not be so easy to extract fruit abilities from the bloodline factors.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Walter nodded obediently, secretly delighted.

"Walter!"

In the distance, another thin figure ran over. It was Ze Ping.

He was holding two lunch boxes, one large and one small. The aroma of the meat, carried by the sea breeze, soon lingered under everyone's noses.

"Go ahead, don't always immerse yourself in your own world. Good friends should share happiness with each other. Try to do more things that Xiaoze Ping also likes."

Ross stood up, patted little Walter on the shoulder and gave instructions.

People of the same age can quickly get along with each other, especially when one of them has a good brain, the others will automatically gather around him.

Because having a brain means having ideas, and having ideas means having fun, and what children like most is fun.

But the fun will wear off.

Ross knew how Ze Ping and Walter got along. Walter was the main person, and Ze Ping followed behind him to help, finding fun in it.

But this won't work. It's okay now, but as time goes by, this friendship will turn into Ze Ping's blind clinging, and Walter may also develop some bad habits.

Maybe Walter will treat Ze Ping sincerely, but they may no longer be "friends".

This is a bad habit that needs to be corrected in time.

"I know, I know. I'll leave first. Ze Ping is still waiting for me!"

Walter said somewhat nonchalantly, taking note of the matter in his heart, and then ran away without looking back.

Ross sighed. It seemed that Walter had listened to it, but not completely.

But there is no need to rush this matter. We can just go back and teach him slowly. Everything requires a process, except nature.

Even if a good person turns bad, he is still a good bad person. Only after being influenced by the bad people day by day will he become a real bad person.

Everything can be changed, it just takes time and experience.

"Hey, Mr. Ross, you are really good at finding bodyguards for your children. The news about Morgans is quite valuable."

Borsalino looked at the two little ones eating while walking together and couldn't help but sigh.

The theory of bloodline talent in this ocean is laid out in the open, and only a powerful devil fruit can break this.

Zefa is very strong. As long as his descendant Ze Ping is properly trained, he will at least be a lieutenant general before he is thirty years old. This is a foregone conclusion.

Walter and Ze Ping are so close, one can imagine what their relationship will be like in the future.

"Haha, I'm not good at it, it's just that I'm more concerned about it. After all, this sea is too dangerous. I can't sleep well without some strong people around me."

Ross smiled and didn't pay much attention to Borsalino's teasing.

After all, this is true. Not only is he good at finding bodyguards for his children, he is also looking for bodyguards himself.

Garp, Zephyr, Roger, Rayleigh and so on, each of them can help him, but in terms of relationship, only Zephyr can stay permanently in the future.

Borsalino nodded. The sea was indeed dangerous. The battle between Ross and Kaido alone could easily flatten an island, and this was not even the world's top battle.

I really don't know how tragic the battle between the legendary pirates and the admirals of the navy must be. The aftermath alone is enough to make ordinary people suffer, right?
"I really envy them for being able to do their own things without worries. Teacher Ross, how about you find me a bodyguard?"

"Get out of the way. Improving your own strength is the best way. Practice with me tomorrow and see if you are faster or my observation Haki is faster."

"Stop it, teacher. Your observation Haki must be faster. Aren't you bullying me?"

"You are just bullying! If you don't have the strength, just bear with it. If you have the ability, fight back later!"

"Tsk...you said that (whispering)."

"Ok?"

Ross raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't blame me for letting Barrett bully you in the future."

...............

At night, in the family area of ​​the Navy Headquarters.

Ross and Walter, father and son, sat next to each other at the desk.

Walter held a small notebook and pen in his hand, while Ross held a pen and wrote and drew on the blank paper on the desk.

"Walter, according to current knowledge, seastone can be divided into three levels: ore, particles, and factors."

As Ross spoke, he drew three circles of different sizes on the paper as simple markings, and then continued:
“The seastone we are familiar with actually has different levels of purity, and the upper limit of purity contained in each form of seastone is also different.

For example, seastone in mineral form can produce seastone with a maximum purity of 100%, and the upper limit varies depending on the size of the particles. As for the factors, they are generally of the lowest purity, around 10%.

But according to the principle of ordinary ores, the smaller and less impurities in the ore should be of higher purity, but seastone is just the opposite. Do you know why, Walter?"

"I don't know, why is that?"

Walter said truthfully that this was a blind spot in his knowledge, or he had never understood it at all.

Ross smiled, then patiently explained:
"Because seastone is most likely a scientific product, developed specifically for devil fruits, but it is spread through this mineral.

There is a special factor in seastone that can parasitize on it and cause it to continuously split. This is why the seawater is full of seastone factors.

You must remember, Walter, anything that violates the basic laws of nature is not natural. This is the first lesson I want to teach you."

Strangely enough, no matter in this world or in the fan fictions of previous lives, the knowledge about seastone is very superficial, as if someone has been cursed and will not delve into the knowledge in detail.

Even Ross had done research on seastone before, but he had no intention of conducting in-depth research until his son Walter brought it up again.

It is just for your own development and that's all.

It's very strange, just like some kind of black magic.

However, seastone is indeed worthy of study, especially under the premise that it may be some kind of scientific product. Once this aspect is fully understood, Ross will even dare to threaten the five old bastards on Mary Geoise.

"Oh! So are devil fruits actually a product of science? Maybe there really are so-called devils living in their bodies?"

Walter quickly asked Ross a question.

It's no wonder that he could make the connection immediately. After all, devil fruits are obviously not naturally produced products.

Ross nodded approvingly, patted Walter's little head with satisfaction, and then said:
"Indeed, as someone who has mastered the awakening of the devil fruit, every time I activate the power of awakening, I can feel a special will lingering in my heart. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the thing originally stored in the devil fruit, that is, the devil!"

Ross's tone was a little serious.

Devil Fruits are not good things. This is his inner warning and an absolute conclusion.

In the original work, there are cases where the awakening of animal-type devil fruits failed. They all turned into monsters that were a combination of humans and animals, with only bestiality but no reason.

"But there's nothing to worry about, Walter. You have to remember that although the devil fruit is not a good thing, as long as you can surpass its upper limit, you are the devil!"

Ross admonished Walter.

This was the conclusion he came to after his own experience.

As the development of the devil fruit progressed step by step, each time the power of "awakening" was stimulated, a certain will constantly lingered in his body, and now it made him feel that he was the cloud itself.

This feeling is wonderful, but the will is gradually beginning to weaken.

Ross has a feeling that when his physical fitness reaches the emperor level, that will will completely dissipate.

He is the devil in the Yunyun Fruit!
