Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 363 Lifespan of a Tier 3 Ability User, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Gluttony Fruit
Not only Zhang Yu and Chen Hao were stunned, but Jiang Kai and Ma Yi were also stunned. All four of them stared blankly at the two Devil Fruits that had suddenly appeared in their hands.

The scene was silent for a while.

"No. This. You."

Jiang Kai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

"Holy crap, I've lost ten years of my lifespan?"

Zhang Yu said it subconsciously.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Ma Yi and Jiang Kai, who were still immersed in the shock of the Devil Fruit, were speechless.

You can actually take this kind of thing seriously?

"I'm so sorry, Brother Yu!"

Chen Hao first sighed, then said in a serious tone.

"But it should be twenty years, since two of them came."

"You!"

The next second, Zhang Yu was surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers.

However, their antics eased the tense atmosphere considerably. Ma Yi looked at the Devil Fruits in Zhang Yu and Chen Hao's hands and said seriously:
"Although we don't know the specific abilities of these two Devil Fruits, there is no doubt that they were given to you by Ye Shen."

Although there is currently no direct evidence to prove this, this conclusion can be reached with a little reasoning.

In Ma Yi's view, such obvious things don't even need much explanation.

Hawkeye, displaying his "astounding wisdom," nodded solemnly and said:

“Ma Yi is right, Ye Xuan must have given us these two Devil Fruits.”

Ma Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this, thinking that if even Hawkeye could understand it, others should be able to as well. However, the next second...

"Didn't you hear me praying to Ye Xuan just now?"

"Are there only two gods now? One is Ye Xuan, and the other is Elder Zhong. If I worship Elder Zhong, he will definitely give me the Eye of God."

Chen Hao said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Ma Yi: "."

No, is that how you came to this conclusion?
What about the process?
Isn't that still a subjective perception?
He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that expecting Chen Hao to be wise was a mistake. He turned to look at Zhang Yu and Jiang Kai, who both looked enlightened after hearing Chen Hao's words.

What are you two "suddenly realizing" about?!
"Then wouldn't I still lose ten years of my lifespan?"

Zhang Yu pointed to himself, looking confused.

"Is this considered a sacrifice? A sacrifice always requires an offering, right? Is my lifespan really over?"

"I already said it's twenty years."

"Can't you see we each have one?"

Chen Hao offered a "thoughtful" reminder.

Ma Yi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and patiently explained:
"This has nothing to do with sacrifice; it is simply a gift from God Ye to you."

"According to the research on celestial treasures in the Tian Shu Bureau, the vast majority of celestial treasures need to be housed in reality to appear, and there are very few cases of them appearing out of thin air."

"The only known examples of things that appeared out of thin air are the pyramids and giant statues in the Kunlun Mountains."

"And Devil Fruits are a prime example. The Devil Fruits that have already appeared in the real world are basically fruits in the real world that are then completely transformed into the form of Devil Fruits."

He pointed to the fruit in their hands.

"But you all saw how these two Devil Fruits appeared. They appeared out of thin air and landed precisely in your hands."

"It's obvious that a powerful ability user sent it to you via spatial teleportation."

"There aren't many people in Great Xia with spatial abilities, and most of them aren't very strong. Even the strongest are only at the third tier. They might be able to do this within a certain distance, but they have no reason to give you such a precious Devil Fruit."

"Only Ye Shen!"

"Although the information we currently have does not indicate that Ye Shen possesses spatial abilities, we already know very little about Ye Shen. It is perfectly normal for someone like Ye Shen to possess abilities that we do not know about."

"Only Ye Shen would be so indifferent to a treasure like a Devil Fruit and give it away."

How incredibly valuable are the treasures of the heavens?
Even among Devil Fruits, aside from a very few like the Human-Human Fruit (human form) and Zoan-type fruits, most possess the ability to transform ordinary people into powerful beings.

Mythical Beasts, Logia-types, and some powerful Paramecia-types, if developed properly, reaching the fifth or even sixth tier is not impossible.

The entire world, and even the Great Xia Dynasty's central authority, could not possibly disregard the "Devil Fruit," much less give it away. Even if they did, it would not be in this way.

Only Ye Shen could do this and had the right reason to do so.

He was the only one who didn't care about the value of Devil Fruits at all, and he was the only one who would give something like a Devil Fruit to Chen Hao and Zhang Yu, simply because they were his friends.

As for sacrifice
Ye Shen is only referred to as "God" by them, but he is not a god with a divine position in the traditional sense.

He would not bestow precious celestial treasures upon others simply because of anyone's worship or faith, let alone in exchange for a mere "ten years" of his lifespan. "Each celestial treasure represents the qualification to cultivate, and none of the current holders of celestial treasures possess weak cultivation talent."

Reiki itself is a force that can promote the evolution of life.

Although not publicly announced, according to internal data from the Tian Shu Bureau, third-tier ability users can generally extend their lifespan to over two hundred years.

Some special abilities, such as those related to plants or turtles, can even last for three hundred years.

Although this is the theoretical value under optimal conditions, the body after spiritual energy transformation is far stronger than that of ordinary people, so how could it get sick?
Could a mere ten years of lifespan be exchanged for a celestial treasure that extends one's lifespan by at least two hundred years? It's obviously impossible.

If such a deal truly existed, there would be plenty of people willing to trade their lives for it.

After hearing Ma Yi's explanation, Zhang Yu and Jiang Kai once again showed expressions of sudden realization, and even Chen Hao nodded in agreement.

Well, Ma Yi explained it so clearly, they must have all understood. In short, it means that Ye Xuan specially gave them these two Devil Fruits.

"Let's see what kind of Devil Fruit this is first."

Looking at their expressions, Ma Yi knew they hadn't understood. He sighed and turned his attention to the appearance of the fruit.

Although it can be confirmed that it was given by Ye Shen, the number of Devil Fruits that have descended into the real world is already very small, and powerful ones are even rarer.

Although Ye Shen had previously traded Snow-Snow Fruits, even he couldn't possibly possess a large number of Devil Fruits.

These two gems, which Ye Shen gave to Chen Hao and Zhang Yu, must possess considerable potential. Are they Logia-type, Mythical Zoan-type, or perhaps extremely powerful Paramecia-type?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu and Chen Hao realized what was happening and began to seriously examine the Devil Fruit in their hands.

The four of them huddled together, carefully examining the two strangely shaped fruits: one was entirely blue, but the center was purple, and the surface had patterns that looked like teeth chewing; the other was dark blue, adorned with countless circular patterns.

"can not tell."

Ma Yi shook his head. He didn't have an in-depth understanding of Devil Fruits, since he usually spent more time studying.

The same goes for everyone else; who would bother to remember the appearance of every Devil Fruit when watching anime?

Furthermore, the abilities of many Devil Fruits are only revealed after the user has already eaten them; not every fruit's appearance has been shown in detail.

"Who cares? Ye Xuan won't hurt us."

"I'll eat first!"

Zhang Yu said nonchalantly, and then he opened his mouth and took a big bite of the Devil Fruit in his hand.

"vomit!!!"

The moment the Devil Fruit entered his mouth, Zhang Yu's expression turned extremely ugly, his entire face contorting into a grimace.

He instinctively wanted to vomit, but reason made him swallow it back down.

"This is so disgusting!"

"It tastes a hundred times worse than I imagined!"

After swallowing that mouthful, Zhang Yu showed an expression of relief. He knew Devil Fruits were hard to eat, but he never imagined they would be this bad.

Although the first bite was excruciating, he remembered the advice from Devil Fruit users online: "It's best to finish it all, otherwise it might affect the development of your abilities," so he struggled to eat the rest.

This suggestion didn't come from just anyone; it came from Lu Jing, the strongest ability user in Shanghai and the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

They could ignore other people's advice, or even think that only a fool would eat the whole Devil Fruit, since they only needed to take one bite. But since it was Lu Jing who said it, they had no choice. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, they had to hold back and eat it all.

"How is it? How does it feel?"

Jiang Kai asked curiously.

Zhang Yu did not answer Jiang Kai's question immediately, but closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body; suddenly, he strode to a dumbbell in the corner of the training field, and to everyone's astonishment, he opened his mouth and took a bite!
"Crack!"

The crisp sound of metal breaking rang out as he easily bit off a large chunk from the hard dumbbell!

"Fuck!"

Jiang Kai's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

Zhang Yu chewed the metal block nonchalantly, swallowing it with a slight movement of his throat.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded: his right arm bones suddenly deformed, and a dumbbell-shaped metal structure extended from his elbow joint!
"If I'm not mistaken, what I ate was the Swallow-Swallow Fruit."

Zhang Yu flexed his newly grown "dumbbell arms," ​​his eyes sparkling with excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yi, Jiang Kai, and Chen Hao all showed expressions of understanding.

The Gluttony Fruit belongs to Wapol, the former king of the Iron Bucket Kingdom in the One Piece world. After being knocked away by Luffy, he used the fruit's power to develop "Wapol Alloy," thus becoming a super-rich man.

Afterwards, he gained the recognition of the world's nobles and became the king of the Evil Black Iron Bucket Kingdom.

The Swallow Fruit allows the user to eat anything, turn it into part of their body, or synthesize new things. It can also allow the user to eat their own body to change their body shape and become thinner.

However, this is not the most powerful aspect of the Gluttony Fruit. The most powerful aspect of the Gluttony Fruit is that it can devour other Devil Fruit users to acquire their abilities.

Although this point is not shown in One Piece, there is indeed a similar setting.
