One Piece: The story was spoiled for Im Saint right from the start.

It was like two little people arguing. One was advising him to give up, since he had already become a Celestial Dragon and had already obtained wealth, beauty, and power.

If you want to go out for fun, just let the navy protect you; there's no need to go through all that trouble, bloodshed, and sweat to make things difficult for yourself.

Another little man urged him to persevere.

Because wealth, beauty, and power are all external things, and relying on others for protection is not a long-term solution; true strength lies in one's own character.

and.

Must I really spend my whole life groveling and serving as a servant of Narona Im Saint?

To entrust one's life to another?

The whole night.

Sumer was hesitant and timid.

One second they were determined to cultivate themselves into a powerful and awe-inspiring expert, but the next second they were too tired to do more than a few push-ups and had to give up.

They continued to fight amongst themselves until 5 a.m. before finally falling asleep.

Sumer knew himself too well.

I often want to try to change, but once I take action, I soon fall back into my old ways and give up.

He is a lazy, complacent, unambitious, and easily give-up person.

However, in the world of One Piece, as long as you work hard enough and have a strong enough will, even an ordinary person can possess power.

If someone is exceptionally talented, has a monstrous physique, knows how to work hard, and is also lucky enough to eat a powerful Devil Fruit, then they will surely become a renowned and powerful figure.

But Sumer was the kind of person who was afraid of hardship and fatigue and had a weak will.

Actually, he overlooked one point.

Those are the true elites at the top of the pyramid, most of whom have experienced unfortunate childhoods, the destruction of their families, or the sacrifice of their relatives.

"Your Holiness Sumer, every powerful figure with a name on the high seas today has become a powerful figure only after going through arduous training and life-or-death battles."

"I have never heard of anyone becoming a powerful person overnight without working hard."

Dol frowned, kindly reminding Sumer.

She figured it out.

This Sumerian saint wanted to cultivate and become stronger, but he couldn't endure the hardship.

Come to think of it.

As a member of the world's aristocracy, they have been pampered and privileged since childhood, enjoying a high status and having everything they want. It would be impossible for them to suddenly experience hardship.

"I understand what you mean. To become a true strong person, you need to meet three basic conditions."

"The most savage body, the most civilized mind, and the unconquerable spirit."

Sumer's voice was low.

He has already started brainstorming.

Since he couldn't endure too much physical or mental hardship, he had no choice but to use his brain and wisdom to find other solutions.

In a short time.

Four routes appeared in Sumer's mind: the genetic mutation route, the technological modification route, the possession route, and the Devil Fruit route.

Having been in the One Piece world for so many days, he hadn't been completely oblivious to things.

Although he doesn't have any cheat codes like the system or Deep Blue skill point allocation.

But the advantage lies in knowing the plot and having experienced the internet's complexities, having read many anime, novels, movies, and comics.

This gave him a wealth of theoretical knowledge and a boundless imagination.

First, there are genetic mutation routes and technological modification routes.

Very simple.

We can look to Marvel as an example: the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology.

Regarding the possession route, before transmigrating, Sumer accidentally read a One Piece fanfiction called "Offering Pain for the Wonderful Pirate World!"

The protagonist, Jaeger, is a useless character without any special abilities, just like him.

He joined the Blackbeard Pirates by taking advantage of information from Skypiea and Pluton, and later swapped bodies with Blackbeard using the mind-swapping ability of the Op-Op Fruit.

Then it took off directly.

Therefore, Sumer could learn from this, and if they were to implement this method, they wouldn't necessarily have to possess Blackbeard.

Because there are many strong people on the sea.

For example, monsters like Kaido and Barrett.

Even more daring would be to directly swap bodies with Narona or Im-sama in one fell swoop.

The thought of this made Sumer's eyes gleam with desire.

Because if he succeeds, he will truly take off and soar to the top!

Not only can they possess the power of the Devil Fruit, but they can also wield the World Government, a powerful weapon.

It's like having both strength and influence!

Finally, there's the Devil Fruit route.

In the world of One Piece, there are some special cheats and extremely sinister Devil Fruits.

However, Devil Fruits have one major drawback: they rely too much on physical strength and imagination.

The most crucial thing is physical strength.

It's not just Devil Fruits; physical skills, Haki, and other systems of power all require physical strength to activate.

Without sufficient physical strength, any amount of power and ability is useless.

If Sumer wanted to eat a Devil Fruit, he would have to choose one that didn't require much physical exertion, was easy to develop, and was extremely powerful.

Skillful.

There really was a Devil Fruit that suited Sumer's desire to avoid hardship and toil, yet still grant him immense power.

That's Kanjuro Kurozumi's Paramecia-type Pen-Pen Fruit.

The Devil Fruit's ability is simple: it can bring to life anything it draws.

The creatures depicted in the drawings also possess a sense of self.

Similar to Ma Liang's magic paintbrush.

The most crucial point is that improving the power of the Pen-Pen Fruit does not require arduous development and training; it only requires improving drawing skills.

The higher a person's drawing skills, the more realistic and powerful their drawings will be.

on the contrary.

If the drawing is too poor or too ugly, it will directly affect the ability and function of the drawing.

Equivalent to.

If you can draw a white beard that is so realistic that it's hard to tell the difference, then that white beard could have seven or eight tenths of the fighting power.

The problem is...

At this time, Kanjuro Kurozumi seems to be traveling through time and space. He will not appear in Wano Country until two years after the Marineford War. Later, he fled to Dressrosa.

That takes too long.

Even if we wait two years and kill Kurozumi Kanjuro, the Pen-Pen Fruit might be reborn in some corner of the world.

Unless one masters the mature technique of "depriving a Devil Fruit".

Or perhaps Blackbeard could help.

19. Screening Devil Fruits: A Multi-pronged Approach

After much thought, I decided that rather than waiting two years...

It would be better to gain Narona Imsanto's complete trust in the next two years, then take control of Luo, and see how things go then.

There was really no chance; at that time, Kanjuro Kurozumi also traveled through time.

Also.

Sumer also thought of a few Devil Fruits.

For example, the Memory Fruit, the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Gluttony Fruit, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and the Year-Year Fruit.

The Memory Fruit, in particular, seems useless, but it's actually incredibly overpowered.

Once Sumer consumes the Memory-Memory Fruit, he can use his Celestial Dragon status to capture skilled martial artists and powerful practitioners of Haki, and ultimately copy their memories.

If only the "combat memories" are retained and implanted into oneself, one might be able to inherit the other's combat abilities without a teacher.

Just like Gecko Moria used the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to inject the shadow of another person into the target's body.
