Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 364 The "God-Level Fruit" in the Pirate World: Locking Down Everything Within Sight

Since the serialization of "One Piece", the author has always emphasized that there is no difference in the power of Devil Fruits, the key lies in the degree to which the user develops the power.

But whether that's the truth or not, everyone knows the truth.

Are normal Zoan-type Zoan, Ancient Zoan, and Mythical Zoan the same?
Even the Gum-Gum Fruit later became the Mythical Zoan type, Nikka form.

While development might be more important for Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, it may not be the case for other Devil Fruits.

Among those powerful Devil Fruits, there are a few that possess an extraordinary level of power from the moment they are born; these fruits are often praised as "god-level fruits".

Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Glint-Glint Fruit, Nika Fruit, Azure Dragon Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit, Soul-Soul Fruit, and Op-Op Fruit. These fruits are frequently mentioned.

However, while these fruits possess powerful abilities, their users are equally powerful. If a different user were to use them, they might still be powerful, but they might not be able to reach the same level of power.

However, there are some "god-level fruits" whose users, even without fully utilizing their potential, demonstrate the power of the fruit itself, earning them the title of "god-level."

For example, Sugar, a member of the Don Quixote family, possesses the Childlike Fruit, which can turn anyone it touches into a toy, rendering them unable to act freely according to their own thoughts and obey orders. Furthermore, others will forget their memories of the person who was turned into a toy.

Fruits like "Aion's Rewind Fruit" can rewind 12 years with a single touch, and multiple touches can completely erase the thing, as if it never existed.

For example, Bruno's Door-Door Fruit in CP9 allows him to open doors anywhere, including in the air, on flames, and on a human body, regardless of how hard or intangible the object is.
The "Gluttony Fruit" is one of the fruits known as "god-level fruits," and many people even consider it to be the theoretically "strongest fruit" in the world of One Piece.

It can devour any object, including metal, weapons, living things, buildings, etc., and transform it into part of its own body or synthesize new substances.

They can inherit the abilities of living ability users by directly consuming them, and "theoretically" they can combine multiple abilities into one.

The biggest challenge of this fruit lies in its growth from zero to one. Once this stage is completed and a powerful ability user is devoured, it can grow rapidly.

However, in Ma Yi's opinion, the most terrifying thing about the Gluttony Fruit is its almost conceptual "synthesis". Wapol's Wapol Alloy, which is synthesized by eating garbage, has the reputation of being "impossible for humans to manufacture" in the pirate world, a place full of black technology.

But what about in reality? If we specifically devour rare metals of varying strengths, could we synthesize an alloy stronger than Wapol alloy?
Furthermore, the Gluttony Fruit possesses the characteristic of "non-rejection," allowing for seamless integration between flesh and metal. Theoretically, the saying "flesh and blood are weak, while machinery ascends" is even more evident in him.

Unfortunately, Wapol did not develop the potential of the Gluttony Fruit, which meant that everything remained "theoretical," and all possibilities were just conjectures about the "Gluttony Fruit."

However, the Gluttony Fruit is undoubtedly one of the top Devil Fruits.

This is especially true for Zhang Yu.

"Your gluttonous ability, combined with the unlimited 'stomach' brought by the Gluttony Fruit, has given the Gluttony Fruit another development path."

"I just don't know if the metal you ingested can be transformed into nutrients by your 'Gluttony' ability. If it can, your strength will definitely see a huge boost, and you might even rank at the top of the list of superhumans in the future."

As mentioned before, the greatest strength of "Taotie" lies in its ability to enhance the physical condition of users by digesting the nutrients in "food." However, due to the limited speed of "digestion," Zhang Yu is unable to unleash the full power of "Taotie's" superpower.

But now that he has the Swallow Fruit, Zhang Yu's stomach should be connected to a bottomless alternate dimension, so he no longer has to worry about not being able to eat.

Furthermore, you can eat a large amount of food in advance to keep your stomach and intestines "digesting," thus keeping yourself in the process of "becoming stronger."

As for whether the "digestion" ability was enhanced by the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, Ma Yi couldn't be sure, because he didn't know how the Swallow-Swallow Fruit's ability manifested.

If what you eat is digested, why can Wapol turn it into something he ate before?
If there is no digestion, does he still have digestive function? And how does he maintain the body's operation?

Regardless of whether his digestive abilities improve or not, Zhang Yu's strength will increase at a faster or slower pace.

However, these are all things that need to be tested later.

Now, they turned their attention to Chen Hao, or more precisely, to the Devil Fruit in his hand.

Zhang Yu obtained the Swallow Fruit, which matched his "Gluttony" superpower. What about Chen Hao?
What fruit would be best suited for "Hawkeye"?
Is it the Staring-Staring Fruit?
But its capabilities are better suited for intelligence work than for sniping.

Chen Hao didn't think too much about it. After seeing Zhang Yu's ability, he picked up the Devil Fruit in his hand and took a big bite.

"Well"

Unexpectedly, Chen Hao did not show a pained expression like Zhang Yu; instead, he savored it carefully.

"It's a bit strange, but it's alright."

Then, to the astonishment of the three, he ate the entire Devil Fruit clean.

"real or fake."

"Has this guy's sense of taste mutated?"

Jiang Kai murmured, and Zhang Yu and Ma Yi were also somewhat incredulous. In the One Piece setting, something that was clearly worse than "shit" was something he had calmly eaten.
Zhang Yu even suspected that the Devil Fruit he had just eaten was fake. How could different Devil Fruits taste different?

"What are your abilities?"

Ma asked curiously.

Although he couldn't understand why Chen Hao could eat the Devil Fruit so calmly, he was more concerned about the power itself.

"Hmm? It looks like a target-target fruit."

Chen Hao tilted his head and sensed it. "But it's a little different from the Target-Target Fruit's power in my memory."

Under the curious gazes of the three, Chen Hao first turned around, then took out a small pebble from his pocket and casually tossed it forward.

The pebble suddenly made a sharp turn in mid-air and flew precisely towards Zhang Yu!

"Snapped!"

Zhang Yu easily caught the pebble, looking puzzled.

"Target-Target Fruit, what's wrong with that? Isn't it just the ability to lock onto a target?"

In his memory, the Target-Target Fruit's ability is to continuously track a target with a thrown weapon until it hits, except that it can be blocked or shot down.

Why did Chen Hao say that this is somewhat different from the power of the Target-Target Fruit?
No, it's not just that.

"Okay."

A glint flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.

He took out another pebble, and this time without turning around, he stared straight at the target in the distance of the training field. The moment the pebble left his hand, it drew an arc in the air and hit the bullseye precisely!

Zhang Yu was still full of doubt: "Isn't this still the ability to lock onto a target? What's different?"

But Ma Yi showed a thoughtful expression.

"I understand! This is indeed different from how the Target-Target Fruit is portrayed in the anime!"

"What's different?"

Zhang Yu and Jiang Kai looked at him.

"You may not remember, but the Target-Target Fruit's ability requires direct contact with the target to mark it, meaning you have to touch the target yourself to lock onto it."

Ma pointed to the target in the distance.

"But Chen Hao didn't touch you or the targets, yet he still managed to hit them accurately. That's the most strange thing!"

Zhang Yu then realized, "Right! Don't users of the Target-Target Fruit always touch their target first?"

Ma nodded and continued the analysis:

"If it's because they've touched them before, that doesn't make sense; those targets are changed by a specialist every day, and Chen Hao has basically never touched them."

"Even if you've tried, it's impossible to hit the bullseye every time, but his pebbles just now hit the center of every single target perfectly!"

All eyes turned to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao nodded in agreement: "I feel that as long as it is within my perception range, I can lock onto everything within my sight using the Target-Target Fruit's ability."

"Because we are standing close, I can sense and lock onto you even with my back to you; those targets, though far away, are still within my line of sight, so I can lock onto them as well."

"This...target locked?"

Jiang Kai gasped.

This kind of ability must be something every sniper dreams of, right?

As long as you can see it, you can definitely hit it; even what you can sense is included.

If Chen Hao were given a six-eyed look or a disdainful look, wouldn't he be incredibly powerful?
"Not only has the effect of the ability been enhanced, but even the activation conditions have been simplified!"

"The original Target-Target Fruit definitely didn't have this ability, otherwise it could be considered a god-level fruit."

"Did something change after the Target-Target Fruit came into reality?"

"Or is it that Hawkeye's superpower and the power of the Target-Target Fruit have somehow fused together, resulting in this outcome?"

Ma Yi pondered the answer, but in his heart there was another answer he felt was impossible.

That is, the change in this target fruit may be related to Ye Shen.

Although in his view, even Ye Shen could not change the inherent power of the treasures of the heavens, it was too much of a coincidence.

This change in the Target-Target Fruit makes it a perfect match for Chen Hao's "Eagle Eye" ability; however, if it were the "Target-Target Fruit" from the anime, it wouldn't actually match Chen Hao's ability, since how could a sniper possibly make physical contact with his target?
Ye Shen couldn't possibly have been unaware of this, but he still gave the Target Fruit to Chen Hao.

He wouldn't believe you if you told him he didn't know about the changes that the "Target Fruit" had caused in Chen Hao.

But did Ye Shen foresee this "future" and know this "outcome"? Or did he modify the "Target Fruit" and thus determine this "outcome"?

Can the powers of Devil Fruits, which originate from human desires, also be modified?
If that's really the case, just how far has Ye Shen gone?
Is his normal strength really only at the sixth rank?
