I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 305, Section 304: The Origin Fruit!

Mercer said that if this could all go wrong, he might as well find a metal plate and smash his head against it and die.

The Origin Fruit was born from the World Tree, and there is an extremely close causal relationship between the two from the beginning.

Then he shook his head.

"Of course, I won't be completely without principles either. The Origin Fruit is essentially a path that enables biological evolution."

As for whether it's a poisoned pie, that depends on the other party's future choices.

Moses kept this thought in mind for now, and there was no rush.

Erii steadily flapped her dragon wings, while Messer blew a gentle breeze from high above.

Looking at the bright and dazzling stars and moon in the sky.

Time passed slowly, and a pirate ship appeared on the distant sea.

Moses sensed the presence above and raised an eyebrow. How lucky he was.

Oh! Right.

Moses is currently located in the North Sea.

The pirate crew below is a relatively well-known rookie pirate crew from the North Blue.

Hawkins Pirates.

The captain was a handsome young man with flowing blond hair, a slender build, and six distinctive vertical lines on his forehead.

A connection of minds.

Having learned of Mercer's thoughts, Erii shrunk in size and swooped down from the sky.

The three-meter-long dragon body crashed onto the deck with a loud thud.

Moses jumped off the dragon's back.

Erii unleashed her dragon's might at that moment, and the pirate ship, which was still holding a banquet in the night, instantly fell silent.
The sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground echoed.

Moses leaned against the deck railing.

The captain Hawkins, whom they perceived, flew out.

It slammed down in front of me with a loud thud!

Moses smiled. "Strawberry fruit has the concept of causal transfer."

He floated up to him, and the next moment his spirit-like right hand pierced through his chest and grabbed him.

The power of the straw fruit appeared, and the next moment, a gate of light appeared in front of us.

Moses stepped inside.

In the Sea of ​​Stars, before the World Tree.

A section of the World Tree root appeared before them, devouring this primordial power.

The concepts of straw and cause and effect surfaced in his mind, and Moses quickly analyzed them.

From a high vantage point.

Moses mastered both concepts at an extremely rapid pace, adding another piece to the virtuous puzzle of power.

then.

A concept representing straw and cause and effect, mixed with the origin, appeared in the trunk of the World Tree.

With the power of the world's authority, Moses began his first weaving.

Begin setting the essential program (contract).

1. When the user dies, this primal power will instinctively return to the World Tree (Messer).

2. The power of the source merges with the user's own source, and as the user uses the Devil Fruit's power, it will subtly guide the user towards the direction of the source power.

3. The power of origin has the characteristics of recording, evolving, and growing.

For now, these are the three points.

As time passed and the setup was successfully completed, Messer analyzed whether there were any unreasonable aspects to the power of origin.

After another while, Moses still hadn't found anything wrong.

In the blink of an eye, a primordial straw fruit emerged from the main trunk of the World Tree.

The surface of the original fruit is covered with unique and mysterious conceptual patterns.

It looks like a round straw doll.

Sensing the depletion of one's own primal power after creating the primal fruit:
"That's equivalent to absorbing one-fifth of the power of a Devil Fruit's origin. Hmm, not bad, that's acceptable."

I can still make a profit.

The best thing about Origin Fruits is that they don't have the side effects of ordinary Devil Fruits.

Moses suddenly had an idea: "How about adding a more interesting side effect?"

Because if there are no side effects, it's like a pie.

Well, let's forget about it for now and talk about it later.

With a slight thought,

A few days ago, I gained the ability to materialize objects using my imagination.

In the blink of an eye, a blank encyclopedia appeared in Moses's hand and transformed into a permanent artifact.

The illustration is dark gold with mysterious patterns all over it, and now several large gold-plated characters have appeared on the front of the illustration.

[Original Fruit Illustrated Guide]

Turn it over,

On the first blank page appeared a beautiful image of the original straw fruit.

It also notes the basic capabilities and extended conceptual capabilities of the fruit.

Place the illustration of the original fruit at the base of the World Tree.

Mercer looked up at the glowing cocoons on the branches, then stepped out of the area.

On the outer deck.

Moses crushed the Origin Fruit, merging the power of its conceptual origins into Hawkins' body.

Thus, the first guinea pig was born.

Then numbers two and three won't be far behind.

By the way, there are quite a few Devil Fruit users in Whole Cake Island.

I'll go check it out later.

There's also the Dark-Dark Fruit that Whitebeard owes me; I sensed it was with him before.

"Tch. Teach's not very helpful. He hasn't even thrown in the treasure hunt and run away yet. Is he too scared to rob it?"

"Oh right, and what about that cheap father-in-law? We should go and freeload off him too."

"The source of the Azure Dragon Fruit's power also needs to be replenished; I have such a compulsive disorder."

I'll also be going to Mary Geoise to freeload some money in a while, and it's about time to meet that so-called Lord Im.

Erii watched Mercer operate the device curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Moses shook his head. "Just a thought."

After saying that, he put Hawkins, who was lying on the board, back in his original position.

Sensing the location of all nations, whoosh!

With Erii's spatial transformation, they instantly crossed the sea and arrived at the location of the New World, the Land of Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

Nut Island.

Checking in at a high-end hotel that was still open.

Wash up and rest.

Holding something soft and cuddly in my arms.
Early the next morning.

The two had breakfast at an upscale restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.

I sensed that nothing had changed here since I left.

Sensing Katakuri's location, he is currently in the forest not far from Whole Cake Island.

The words traveled into his mind via radio waves.

"I'm here. Come over now."

A moment of time,
Katakuri, who was undergoing arduous training, suddenly stopped his physical conditioning.

His expression instantly shifted between light and dark. Because his body stopped moving, he was instantly sent flying by a Heatwave Punch from Owen, leaving a charred fist mark on his face.

Irving looked surprised and dissatisfied, and said:

"Katakuri, what's wrong with you? How dare you get distracted while fighting me?"

Katakuri fell silent at his younger brother's dissatisfaction and worry, the charred marks on his face softening into mochi and falling off.

A few seconds later, he said, "The man came over and asked me to come over."

Irving's gaze trembled instantly, a flicker of fear flashing deep within his eyes:
"What do you plan to do? Do you think you can beat him?"

Katakuri took a deep breath. "We betrayed Mother. I will protect you. Whatever his demands, as long as you can survive, I will agree to any conditions."

With that, he turned and left. Irving remained silent for a few seconds before quickly chasing after him.

"Katakuri, I'll go with you. We're brothers. I can't accept letting you face this alone again."

Soon,
Messer sat on the sofa in the private room drinking, while the Katakuri brothers sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa opposite.

Erii sat beside Messer, swinging her delicate, fair legs and humming a lighthearted tune.

Katakuri: "Is there something you need from me today?"

Moses said calmly, "Two things. First, I need to borrow your Devil Fruit abilities. Second, I need the head chef to extend the bread's life."

In return, my banner may be used by your Charlotte family.

Katakuri fell silent. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but a thumb-sized, white, transparent ball of light flew in front of him.

Katakuri: "What is this?"

Mercer chuckled, "You'll know once you touch it with your hand."

This is a creation of a soul light cluster containing compressed intelligence information; it will be absorbed by spirits upon contact.

Yes, Moses didn't tamper with it.

The core message inside is that he has "comprehended the true meaning of Devil Fruits and can create Origin Fruits," and now he has come to borrow the power of their entire family's Devil Fruits.

Katakuri touched it with his hand, and the ball of soul memory light merged into his body.

Soon, he sorted out some basic information about the Origin Fruit that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

At this moment, he looked at Moses with utter shock and fear, thinking to himself:
'What kind of monster is this guy? How could he do something like that? What is he now? A god?'

He was about to speak, but then he noticed that Moses' attention wasn't on him, so he waited quietly.

A playful smile appeared on Moses's lips as he turned his gaze back to him.
"Does Kizaru often come over here to spy on you?"

Katakuri's expression fell silent:

"After you left, because the World Government was unsure whether we had any connection with you, they have been sending Kizaru to monitor us from time to time."

While things appeared stable on the surface, things were actually becoming increasingly turbulent beneath the surface, with many powers eyeing our territory.

Other powerful pirates even attacked, and several of my younger siblings were kidnapped, but we managed to bring them back in time.

The voice was calm, but carried a subtle sadness.

Without him,

Their strength is not commensurate with such a rich territory.

Moses glanced at him. "You resent me?"

Katakuri shook his head bitterly:
"No, it's because I betrayed my mother. I just resent myself for being too weak to protect my family."

Mercer said calmly, "So what's your decision now?"

Katakuri was a smart man, so he nodded decisively:

"I agree to your terms. From now on, our Charlotte clan will be under your command."

With that, he stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Moses to show his loyalty.

Irving quickly stood up and imitated Katakuri's movements.

Mercer nodded. Since the Origin Fruit could be cultivated by a Devil Fruit user, his spirit-like right arm sank into his chest.
Peel it off!

As the Devil Fruit power separated, Katakuri's face turned deathly pale, and he clenched his teeth, trembling with pain all over his body.

The pain of genetic collapse left an indelible mark on him.

quickly,

The power of the Mochi Mochi Fruit was completely devoured by the World Tree roots that appeared in Moses's palm.

Let's analyze the essential concepts behind it.

Subsequently, based on the concepts in the glutinous fruit, the concepts of domination and regeneration were added to it.

Before long, a Primal Glutinous Fruit appeared. Moses floated the fruit in front of him and said calmly:

"Eat it."

Katakuri endured the pain, grabbed the fruit, and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes widened in surprise; it wasn't bad at all.

Soon, the broken genes were repaired by the power of origin, and Katakuri took a deep breath.

And they instinctively understand their current abilities.

A dozen seconds later, Katakuri looked at Moses in shock and said in disbelief:

"The power of the Mochi Mochi Fruit has changed. I now have the ability to control others through mochi, and also regenerative abilities?"

Moses chuckled, "This is your reward. Now, bring all your brothers and sisters who have Devil Fruit abilities over here."

"By the way, you can choose five talented family members who don't have Devil Fruit abilities to come over."

The implication is self-evident.

Katakuri nodded in delight:
"Don't worry, I will do it perfectly, but please give me an hour to prepare. My younger siblings are scattered on different islands."

Even with Brulee's Mirror-Mirror Fruit, it would still take some time.

"By the way, would it be convenient for you to come with us to Whole Cake Island? My younger siblings are a bit too many, and we're afraid we won't be able to fit them all here."

Mercer nodded, stood up, and a spatial fluctuation spread out. Whoosh! After their vision shifted, the four of them arrived at the central castle of Whole Cake Island.

Messer looked at Erii and smiled:
"You play here for a while, I'm going to find someone I know to play with."

Erii nodded obediently, "Then you go ahead and do your work, Erii will wait for you here."

Mercer's figure vanished in an instant.

Katakuri was shocked again. Instant teleportation? He took a deep breath and looked at Erii, saying:

"Miss Erii, I'll take you to the reception room first. You can enjoy some dessert there while you wait for Lord Messer."

Katakuri looked at Owen and said, "Go and find Armand, Galette, Chiffon, and Pudding to keep Erii company."

Katakuri only chooses girls with good personalities or those he already knows well.

Irving nodded to show he understood, a burning desire also in his eyes.

Mercer suddenly appeared on a surveillance ship in the waters near the Kingdom of Nations.

The next moment, the soul-powerful aura was unleashed, and all the marines on the ship lost consciousness.

Mercer chuckled and said, "Old Huang, an old friend has arrived. Why don't you come out to greet him?"

Just then, a sullen, grating voice rang out:
"How scary, it's been such a long time since we last saw each other!"

As Kizaru's voice rang out, a dense cluster of light points converged and took shape not far in front of Messer.

Sensing the physical condition of the sailors on board, Kizaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Moses with some helplessness:

"Weren't you in Beihai two days ago? How come you're here again now?"

Mercer is a key target of the World Government's surveillance, and he did not make any effort to hide himself when he was running all over the ocean a few days ago.

Moses leaned against the ship's railing, watching him with a soft laugh:
"I have something to tell you. I'm planning to kill the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons later. What about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Kizaru's pupils suddenly contracted, he gasped, and his mind raced.

This guy said killing a Celestial Dragon is like killing a chicken.

His eyes behind the sunglasses became incredibly complex, his mouth was no longer crooked, and after three seconds of silence, he said solemnly:

"Have you already developed the combat power to overwhelm the World Government?"
This world is really becoming more and more unbearable.

Mercer nodded leisurely, "Actually, I had the strength to crush you several years ago."

What's your answer?

Kizaru took a breath: "You took Vegapunk with you too, didn't you?"

Mercer smiled and nodded: "That's right."

Kizaru shook his head: "I am a Marine. Although I also dislike the World Government, I want you to let me join your side."
Beat me first, then I'll...
