One Piece: Who still has dreams?

"..."

Nami, with a relaxed smile, watched the pink-haired girl walking briskly ahead, holding Redio's hand. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked Queen Mother Connie, who was strolling slowly to the side, in a slightly teasing tone, "Before Redio agreed to help treat Bonnie, did he make you ask him?"

Connie said slowly, "No."

Ok?

Nami was stunned. Was this really the same Redio she knew?

The two burly fishermen shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this: "He has made such jokes about other things, deliberately asking us to make requests, but not about Bonnie."

"..."

Nami was speechless for a moment, quietly following behind, gazing at Redio's back.

Kureha, sipping a bottle of South China Sea liquor, chuckled and said, "Little girl, are you tempted? Hehehe, love is like a hurricane, it comes just like that."

Nami said speechlessly, "What is all this nonsense?"

They followed the two ahead out of the woods. The sound of crashing waves came from ahead, and Bonnie, holding Redio's hand, gracefully leaped onto a rock.

Wow!

Waves splashed, and her long pink hair danced in the wind.

Bonnie gazed at the vast sky and sea, the world stretching out as far as the eye could see, all blue. She exclaimed in a daze, "It's so big outside!"

Upon hearing this, the two burly fishermen couldn't help but laugh and said, "You were very mischievous when you were little, always running around outside. Have you forgotten all that?"

"Hehe." Bonnie was a little embarrassed.

“Alright,” Kureha reminded from behind, “it’s almost time. Let’s go back.”

Bonnie nodded obediently, then jumped back and landed, transforming into a tall, thin woman with long, gray, wavy hair, a face full of wrinkles, and her belly button showing.

The two burly fishermen were startled; how could things have changed so much outside?

Kureha didn't pay much attention.

Nami stared in disbelief, looking left and right. It seemed like she was the only one making a fuss, while everyone else, including Redio, looked completely unconcerned.

Is it really normal for a little girl like Bonnie to suddenly turn into a tall old lady like Kureha?

That doesn't seem right.

Nami, her mind in turmoil, followed the others back to the dimly lit church. Bonney, on the other hand, had already returned to normal along the way.

"You can only get a maximum of one hour of sun exposure per day."

Kureha reiterated, especially to Connie and the two strong fishermen who were guarding her, that "the medicated bath must be taken every day, and the pills must be taken every three days. You must wait three hours after taking the medicine before you can eat."

Bonnie was a little disappointed. She had been out for so long, basking in the sun for so long, and felt all warm and cozy. She was looking forward to having a big meal right away.

Nami pulled a pocket watch out of nowhere, squatted down in front of Bonnie, and demonstrated by turning the knob: "Turning it like this once takes exactly one hour. It will chime when it's halfway through. Bonnie, from now on, whenever you go out, turn it like this once. After it chimes, you have to turn back, understand?"

Bonnie happily stuck her head out, letting Nami hang the pocket watch around her neck. "I remember! Hehe, Nami, this looks like a necklace." She proudly showed it to Redio.

Redio laughed and said, "Once you finish this round, we'll have a big meal."

"Great!"

Bonnie excitedly raised her hands, then held the pocket watch, watching the second hand tick away, her face full of anticipation.

……

Five minutes later, Bonnie was fast asleep, draped in Redio's arms.

After a long-awaited hour in the sun, the little girl was both excited and tired. She had been full of energy just moments before, but now she was so tired that she could barely open her eyes.

The dimly lit church finally fell completely quiet...

Even the two fishermen and Queen Connie took the opportunity to catch up on sleep. Kureha sat in the last row of the church pews, gazing at the high, dilapidated ceiling, drinking alone. Nami gently carried Bonney to one side, covered her with a small blanket, and then, with her hands behind her back, explored the church, taking in all its new sights.

Only then did Redio have a moment to properly examine the rewards the system had given him an hour earlier.

The easiest task, with a difficulty level of less than one star, actually yielded a special item.

What's the probability of that?

Redio opened the mission log and saw that in the rewards section, besides 7 essences, there was a special item quietly waiting to be collected.

He didn't rush to extract it. Instead, he selected it and entered an interface similar to an inspection screen. He found that the thing was a thin, headband-like ring woven from dense black runes...

Wearing this means I'll be forever barred from all superpowers in this world, right?

Upon examining the prop, the "black headband," a description appears...

【Heaven and Tyrant (Artificial Version)】

[Description: Those born with all their magical power relinquished in exchange for an unparalleled physical strength are known as "Heavenly Tyrants." Using this item will artificially grant them the same effect.]

[Note 1: If one does not possess magical powers but contains any other form of supernatural energy or corresponding potential, such as Devil Fruits, Haki, or others, then all of these will be sacrificed in exchange for greater physical strength.]

[Note 2: This item cannot be duplicated.]

"..."

Redio carefully read the description and notes of the item several times, especially the sentence "Containing any other form of supernatural energy or corresponding potential... will also be sacrificed together," which left him truly stunned.

What is meant by "any other form of supernatural energy"?

If I use this thing, will it also sacrifice my beloved system?

can you?

No?

Moreover, what does it mean to sacrifice "or the corresponding potential"?

Is this a constraint, or a vow and a restriction? Are you treating people like the Black Gang?

Forget Devil Fruits, I don't even know how to use Haki yet...

What if I'm an exceptionally talented genius, one in a million?

Are we going to sacrifice a possible future without even trying?

But then again, with such a huge price to pay for the sacrifice, how terrifying must the physical strength be?

The physical potential of humans in the One Piece world is definitely far beyond that of ordinary Earthlings in the Jujutsu Kaisen, right? Wouldn't the physical strength gained by sacrificing everything far surpass that of normal Heaven and Tyrant?

"hiss!!!"

Redio scratched his head frantically. This damned thing is really messing with my Daoist mind.

He simply closed his eyes and shut down the task list.

Let's not collect this lousy reward for now; let's just keep it in the mission log.

He was genuinely worried that once the extract was obtained, he might impulsively use it without restraint... That would be like being handed a tyrant by heaven! Which cadre could withstand such a test?

But what if using it means losing access to Devil Fruits, Haki, and the like in the future? That's... barely tolerable! The real fear is that the system itself might be sacrificed—that's ridiculous! Even if the possibility is extremely slim, it's absolutely not something to take the risk.

"Swish, swish..."

In the quiet church, where only breathing could be heard, the sound of pages turning could be heard.

It was Nami. She was sitting on the steps, a thick book on her lap, turning the pages gently, sometimes surprised, sometimes marveling.

Logia-type Devil Fruit, Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which allows the user to transform into lightning...

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Strength-Strength Fruit. It is said that whoever eats this fruit will instantly gain a hundredfold increase in arm strength! Moreover, there will be no limit to the growth of muscle strength...

"What are you looking at?" Redio sat down next to him.

"Shh!" Nami whispered, moving half of the large book and unfolding it on Redio's lap. Pointing to the page about the Power-Power Fruit they had just browsed, she teased, "You didn't eat this, did you?"

Is there no limit to muscle strength growth?

Redio was puzzled. In the world of One Piece, there's such a thing as a limit to power?

He wasn't interested in something as corny as the Power-Power Fruit, so he flipped to the top of the table of contents, found the Zoan category, and swiped his finger across the entries one by one.

As expected, there was no "Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan Type Nika Mode," but I did see "Dragon-Dragon Fruit Mythical Zoan Type Nidhogg Mode"...

Chapter 17 He didn't quit the internet, she was caught.

Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nidhogg form.

Eating this fruit allows one to transform into a dragon that controls lightning. It is said that the larger a person is, the more powerful this fruit can be...

That concludes the information about the "Thunder Dragon" Devil Fruit on this page of the encyclopedia.

The idea that eating this stuff would grant immunity to Im's Black Domination is, of course, impossible to mention.

Redio flipped through the book and found that it was more like a collection of entries compiled and improved over generations. Some common and ordinary Devil Fruits were described in great detail, and even some historical Devil Fruit users' deeds were mentioned.

However, rarer species like Nidhogg, Oogway Shinjin, and the Vampire Fruit only receive a few words of description at most...

Driven by interest, Redio searched for some familiar old friends:

It's a special Zoan type, the Human-Human Fruit. The only effect of eating it is turning you into a landlubber.

Logia type, Flame-Flame Fruit, which can turn into fire.

A special Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, grants the user the powerful ability to control gravity, but it is said to exponentially increase the user's perception of pain.
