One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

This woman also has clown makeup on her face. Luffy has face blindness and can only identify people by their faces, which sometimes leads to a lot of jokes. He mistakes Kaku, who also has a long nose, for Usopp, and a skeleton for Nami. His perception of Buggy is based on his clown makeup.

"Albert? Who's Albert? That name sounds so familiar."

Harley Quinn, wielding a spiked club, now desperately wants to smash Luffy's head open so the brat can have a good jolt. If it weren't for the fact that Luffy was taken aboard by Alberta's crew, his journey to become the Pirate King might have ended in the East Blue.

Alberta looked at Luffy's pensive expression and, not expecting him to remember her, rubbed her head and said speechlessly, "Lady Buggy is going to talk about his understanding of Devil Fruits later. Just keep your mouth shut. If you dare to disturb him, watch out for my stick."

With the spiked club dangling in front of him, Luffy nodded knowingly, covered his mouth with both hands, and found a place to sit down.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Bucky's voice rang out from behind the crowd. He had even changed his outfit specially for this day.

Wearing a red suit with a yellow lining, her original blue hair was dyed dark green, and she wore classic clown makeup, with the rest of her face painted deathly white, creating a stark contrast in color.

The makeup made Bucky's aura even more crazy, more wicked, and more unpredictable. They say that appearance reflects the heart, is this the real him?

Chapter 75 Bucky's Teaching

Today is extremely important for all Devil Fruit users, as they have the opportunity to hear a lesson from the future Buggy the Great. For those who are weak, it is an incredible stroke of luck.

After all, the development of Devil Fruits varies from person to person. Those who eat the fruits have to figure it out on their own, without a systematic teaching process. This leads to two types of situations on the high seas: one is that those with extremely low combat power eat god-level fruits, and the other is that those with extremely high combat power eat trash Devil Fruits. In short, there are two extremes.

These two examples can be seen among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Gecko Moria and Doflamingo both have Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, but in terms of both fruit abilities and actual combat skills, it can only be said that they wasted their Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

The teaching content on the light screen officially began. A whiteboard appeared behind Buggy the Clown, with Luffy and Harley Quinn sitting obediently in front of him. Rayleigh was just there to make up the numbers, sitting in the far corner with his legs crossed.

"The three of us are all Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users. I have the deepest understanding of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, and other types of Devil Fruits can also draw on my ideas. Luffy, you start by talking about your Gum-Gum Fruit. Tell me about the characteristics of your Devil Fruit."

Luffy placed his precious straw hat on the table, rested his chin on his hand, and pondered the problem. It would take a long time for this not-so-bright little brain to think about something.

"Let me think... I'm a rubber person. The elasticity and stretch of rubber can be manifested in my body. I can blow air into my body or add domineering energy. Oh, and I think I'm not afraid of being struck by lightning."

He thought for about 5 minutes and came to this conclusion. It can be said that he has developed the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit to its limit. He is able to get to this point today because of his own efforts and training with the fruit's power.

"I divide Paramecia-type Devil Fruits into two types: external and internal. Initially, a user who eats a Devil Fruit will only fall into one of these categories."

"And Luffy, your Gum-Gum Fruit, like mine at the beginning when I could only split my own body, is an internal type."

In his subsequent explanation, Buggy the Clown cited several Devil Fruit users as examples. Mr. 3 of Baroque Works, the user of the Wax-Wax Fruit, could only create wax liquid outside his body, making him an external type of Devil Fruit user.

Charlotte Linlin's son, Owen, is a user of the Heat-Heat Fruit. He can create a heating phenomenon on objects, but he cannot heat himself, making it an external type of fruit.

Gecko Moria is a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, which allows him to cut off the shadows of his opponents for his own use. However, his method of eating shadows is simply suicidal. Not only can his body not hold so many shadows, but the shadows can also escape after he is defeated. He cannot absorb other people's shadows into his body, which is a complete waste of this Devil Fruit. It is an external type.

"If one wants to break through the limitations of their Devil Fruit and allow both the external and internal forms to coexist within a single Devil Fruit, that is called Devil Fruit Awakening."

After Buggy the Clown uttered the word "awakening," he placed one hand on a building, and instantly the once magnificent and ancient structure was broken into dozens of fragments of varying sizes. He demonstrated the power of Devil Fruit awakening to Luffy.

"Wow, that's cool! Can I do that in the future?"

"Lord Buggy's moves are incredibly destructive."

Unintentionally, Buggy the Clown gained two fans. This was the first time they had ever seen a Devil Fruit awakening ability, which added depth to their otherwise mediocre understanding.

"What I just demonstrated was the most basic Devil Fruit awakening. If Luffy reaches this awakening stage, anything you touch will turn into rubber."

"The awakening of a Devil Fruit will become stronger over time, allowing it to assimilate surrounding objects. However, this ability has limitations; it cannot affect objects covered in Haki. This is why Rayleigh made you train in Haki—both predecessors and successors have gone astray."

Bucky finished speaking with a mocking smile. At that moment, he was placed under the spotlight of the whole world, and people inside and outside the spotlight were waiting for an answer.

"I'll name the next stage of the Devil Fruit the Devil Fruit Unleashed. Rayleigh, come up here and do me a favor."

Rayleigh, who had been resting with his eyes closed, stood up from his seat and walked towards Bucky's position when he heard that he had a role to play. "Using me as teaching material, you're really becoming more and more disrespectful to me."

Despite his complaints, he still came over. "Tell me what you want me to do. Are you going to fight me again?"

"No, no, no, First Mate Rayleigh, make sure your fists are imbued with Armament Haki. After that, don't dodge anything you see. I'll be careful and won't hurt you."

Confident Rayleigh raised his right wrist, instantly enveloping it in black Armament Haki. He wanted to see what Buggy the Clown was up to. The other man placed his hand on Rayleigh's arm. "Pay close attention to the changes in his arm."

Where Buggy the Clown touched, the Armament Haki beside him quickly disintegrated. This Armament Haki, which Rayleigh had trained for many years, was completely ineffective against the Chop-Chop Fruit.

"How is this possible?" Rayleigh stared seriously at the changes in his arm, the Armament Haki that made him feel safe was actually being broken down by the power of the Devil Fruit.

Even though he kept gathering Armament Haki into his right arm, he couldn't resist Buggy the Clown's Devil Fruit. His flesh and blood were exposed to the Devil Fruit, and if the other party had bad intentions, he would lose this arm.

"Devil Fruits can actually affect Armament Haki? Then why am I even learning Haki?" Luffy was a little confused when he saw this result. Was all his hard training over the past two years a waste of time?

"This is the power of a Devil Fruit developed to the second level. I am a Chop-Chop Fruit user, and anything I touch will disintegrate. This kind of demonic power cannot even be stopped by Haki. If Straw Hat had your Devil Fruit, the objects you touched would turn into rubber, turning those Marines who are proficient in Haki into non-aggressive rubber men."

Luffy's two small eyes gleamed with golden light. This ability had a natural attraction for him. Playing with Haki was nothing compared to playing with rubber. He could also give this kind of move fancy names. Sure enough, the path of cultivating Haki was a crooked one.

The second stage of Devil Fruit awakening involves further refinement, allowing the user to compress the Devil's power, eliminating the need for physical contact and enabling long-distance decomposition. Luffy's rubber power works similarly, allowing him to turn an enemy into a rubber man from a distance.

"Alright, First Mate, you can go back to your seat. We don't need your help anymore."

"It seems this era is really unfriendly to an old man like me," Rayleigh said with a forlorn expression, his hunched figure disappearing from everyone's sight.

His body, nearing 80, was already showing signs of aging, and Bucky the Joker's unintentional act had drained his last vestiges of energy. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "I've spent my whole life pursuing dominance, have I gone down the wrong path, gone down the wrong path..."

Chapter 76 A brief taste

Area 13, Sabaody Archipelago

Inside a tavern, pirates are being served drinks. If any fools try to avoid paying, they'll be met with the iron fist of the black-haired female owner.

This woman named Shakky runs this hotel, which is essentially an intelligence station. She will provide relevant information as long as pirates are willing to pay. Her hotel is never short of customers.

Pirate crews landed on these islands and dived to depths of 10,000 meters to coat their ships. They then sailed around the Red Line and entered the latter half of the Grand Line. Pirate crews with some strength did not stay for long.

Since a light screen appeared over the Sabaody Archipelago, the pirate crews have been able to stay there for much longer. They are all drawn to what is happening on the screen, making pirate-related businesses more profitable. Murders and arson are happening more frequently on the island, and the Navy is maintaining basic order in this dark area.

The World Government hopes that these pirates will finish coating their ships and then quickly dive into the sea to head to the New World. This journey has a 50% mortality rate, and reducing the number of pirates in this way is an unspoken understanding.

"Shakky, give me another barrel of beer. What's happening on this screen is so interesting. Honestly, I really want to join the Clown Pirates!"

"You're trash, you can't even beat me, why would such a strong pirate crew want you?"

"I'd be content with being an elite soldier if I weren't a high-ranking officer in the Clown Pirates. The sights in Infinity Castle are truly mesmerizing; it could probably house tens of thousands of people."

The tavern patrons chatted amongst themselves, completely believing the information displayed on the screen. They were particularly drawn to the Clown Pirates, thinking that having such a powerful leader would make life much easier.

"The drinks have arrived, but please make sure you pay beforehand. We do not offer credit," Ms. Xia Qi said, placing two large buckets of drinks in front of the customers and gesturing for them to pay.

After handing the pele from his pocket to the female shop owner, the man couldn't help but ask, "I remember you have a coating technician who comes to your shop regularly, why haven't I seen him today?" He was practically calling out Rayleigh's name.

"Who knows where he's hiding now? He still owes me a lot of money on drinks. I hope I don't catch him."

The customer seemed very dissatisfied with the female boss's words. While watching the content on the screen, he continued to drink alone while holding the barrel of sake. This kind of hedonistic lifestyle is a reflection of most pirates.

After collecting the money, the female boss walked into the wine cellar and saw a handsome old man with white hair hiding there, sighing as he looked at the future content on the light screen.

"Rayle, you'd better not go out these next few days. Your image and identity have been exposed by the light screen. Quite a few people in the Sabaody Archipelago have seen you. Don't cause me any trouble. I don't want to move so soon."

Xia Qi leaned against the wine barrel. She wanted to light a cigarette to relieve her anxiety, but then she remembered that this was a wine cellar, so she gave up on this dangerous idea.

"I've really lived too long. I've seen all sorts of things. Bucky must be doing this on purpose. Isn't he just messing with people's mentality?"

Rayleigh hid in the wine cellar. He could see the contents of the light screen through a small window, but it was better not to look at it. After seeing it, he felt even more upset. The mentality of a future hero in his twilight years had more or less affected his current state of mind.

His two sources of income were cut off by the light curtain. First, he could no longer make money by coating pirate ships. Second, the path of selling himself into slavery was also impossible. Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. Rayleigh's hard days were yet to come.

He was already in a semi-secluded state. The World Government knew he was in the Sabaody Archipelago, but seeing that he hadn't caused any trouble for over twenty years, they turned a blind eye to Rayleigh's existence. Now, he could only hide in Shakky's tavern for the time being.

Shakky, who had no cigarettes to smoke, couldn't help but retort to her man: "So what if he did it on purpose? It's still Rayleigh's own fault for misjudging you. With your current strength, you can't even defeat Barrett, one of Bucky the Joker's henchmen who escaped from prison. You'd better stay in the wine cellar for a while."

In terms of influence, Buggy the Clown has surpassed the former vice-captain of the Pirate King in front of her. Shakky is somewhat worried that the World Government will implicate the still-living crew of Roger in order to find him.

"I really misjudged him before. Bucky's talent is no less than Shanks'. Was his acting too good back then, or were we all just too stupid?"

Rayleigh scratched his head, his mind replaying his time with Bucky on Roger's ship. He went through a long period of time, but he couldn't find a single flaw. The Joker in the light screen was simply a different person.

The clown Buggy, seen through the light screen, has had his second-stage Devil Fruit powers revealed to the world. Little did they know he still had more to offer.

"The second stage of Devil Fruit release is a level I reached five years ago. Now I've taken another step forward and reached the third stage."

"There's even a third stage? Wow, I want to learn that move too!" Luffy jumped up from the stool, about to pounce on Buggy.

"Straw Hat Boy, you better behave yourself!" Harley Quinn Alberta grabbed Luffy by the back of the neck, preventing this heartless guy from offending her idol.

"Luffy, I acknowledge your talent. I was going to teach you this move anyway. If you don't learn it in the future, this world will be much less fun." The third stage of the Devil Fruit was named "Domain" by Buggy the Clown.

"If the Devil Fruit Awakening stage is only one percent of the total development, and the Devil Fruit Unleashing stage is only ten percent, then the final Devil Fruit Domain stage can be said to be infinitely close to one hundred percent. That is the power closest to the origin of the Devil Fruit."

"What is Buggy's Domain? I don't quite understand." Luffy, who loves to cause trouble, raises his hand and becomes a good student, humbly asking Buggy the Clown for an explanation.

"Once the Devil Fruit Domain is activated, it encompasses the enemy. Within the domain, the Devil Fruit ability has a 100% hit rate. Straw Hat's verbal descriptions are ultimately inadequate. Let me demonstrate my unique domain power to you."

The audience outside the light screen saw Luffy and his crew's shocked expressions, but Buggy the Clown didn't seem to unleash his domain. Luffy's memories from three years ago came to an abrupt end there, and the perspective returned to the year 1525 of the Sea Calendar.

Viewers who were looking forward to this scene were almost furious. They never expected the screen to pull this stunt, skipping over the crucial part on purpose!

Katakuri, who was on Whole Cake Island, was so angry that he crushed the wine glass in his hand. "What exactly is the third stage of a Devil Fruit? What about the domain?"

Awakening, liberation, and domain have become today's key buzzwords in the One Piece world.

Chapter 77 Nika's Problem

Holy Land Marie Gioia

The Five Elders, the five highest-ranking officials in the World Government, have been frequently gathering for meetings lately, all because of the appearance of the light screen. Despite their extensive search, they have been unable to find the person behind the light screen, and this unexpected appearance has brought uncertainty to the sea.

The light curtain appears all over the world on this planet, in the sky, in the sea, wherever light can pass through, the light curtain will appear there.

They couldn't destroy it, and every day they had to be distracted by looking at the future on the light screen, fearing that something they shouldn't have would appear there. Several times, the Five Elders wanted to awaken Lord Im and ask this supreme being to find a way to help the Celestial Dragons solve this big problem.

"This light barrier actually helped us out, preventing the Nika Fruit from being revealed."

Satan Saint (Saturn) had white curly hair, a thick white beard on the lower half of his face, and wore a flat cap. He had a scar on his left cheek. This was the last news he received today.
