One Piece: Starting as the First Mate of the Lothar Pirates

Invigorated by the spirit of Luo Chuan, who was surrounded by a chorus of voices, a mechanical notification sound rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, host, you have accumulated over two million reputation points! New feature—Super Fusion Editing—unlocked.]

[Super Fusion Editor: The host can simultaneously fuse and use multiple Demon Fruits...]

Luo Chuan: "!!!"

Without a doubt, this is an epic upgrade!!!

……

Chapter 87 Fusion Ascension Device! Eight-Tailed Gyūki! (10,000 words achieved~)

Reports of the Mary Geoise incident in the Holy Land have shocked the entire world.

Since the news was released, Luo Chuan's reputation has skyrocketed.

And finally, the accumulated reputation points exceeded two million, and after the super editing function, another new feature was unlocked.

[Super Fusion Editing]

Just by looking at the name of the new feature, even without reading the specific ability description, Luo Chuan could roughly guess how to use it.

The key lies in the word 'fusion,' and the fact is exactly as Luo Chuan guessed.

[Super Fusion: The host can spend reputation points to purchase a 'Fusion Ascension Device', which allows multiple Devil Fruit abilities to be loaded simultaneously.]

By simultaneously acquiring the abilities of multiple Devil Fruits, Luo Chuan will become a true multi-Devil Fruit user.

For Luo Chuan, this is an epic enhancement.

To date, Luochuan has collected many powerful demon fruits, and through editing and super editing, each fruit has been developed to a certain extent.

In three years, Luo Chuan has gone from a complete novice to someone who can stand tall among the world's strongest and stand up to generals and emperors.

However, he is still quite a distance from being truly the strongest.

If Luo Chuan were to engage in a full-scale battle with Rocks, even if Luo Chuan used all his abilities, he would still win in the end, and it wouldn't be too difficult.

The reason for this is, of course, because Rocks' domineering aura was too strong.

The Devil Fruit is indeed a rare and precious fruit.

However, to some extent, domineering aura does indeed surpass the power of the Devil Fruit.

Excessive Armament Haki can negate the power of certain Rule-of-Law Devil Fruits, which can be considered bug-like.

Observation Haki, with its ability to foresee the future, is enough to completely negate the speed advantage of the Shun Shun Fruit.

The powerful Conqueror's Haki can even deliver a fatal blow.

Compared to top-tier experts, Luo Chuan's domineering aura is currently a weakness, only at the level of a lieutenant general.

Returning to the topic of Devil Fruit abilities, Luo Chuan, equipped with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, is definitely of Admiral-level combat strength.

With the advantage of being a Logia-type, he is even superior to two admirals of this era.

However, due to his weakness in domineering presence, he was still somewhat inferior to the three great generals of the Monkey, Dog, and Rooster fifty years later.

This is the case where the thunder capability is loaded alone.

If Luo Chuan were to be equipped with either the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the Power-Power Fruit, or the Zoan-type Mythical Beast power, his strength would reach the level of an Admiral.

However, these strengths cannot be combined, which limits the power that Luo Chuan can exert and prevents him from making significant breakthroughs.

The reason for this is that the Devil Fruit abilities cannot be combined; at any given time, only one Devil Fruit ability can be used.

In the Octopus Island incident, Luo Chuan once wanted to use a combination of the Power-Power Fruit and the Instant-Instant Fruit to create a cool moment.

The result was that he accidentally produced a large amount of stool, because the Devil Fruit's power needed to be switched.

If Riki and Shunshun had been used simultaneously, that situation wouldn't have occurred.

There was also the major incident at the Holy Land not long ago, where Luo Chuan was ordered to use his powers against the North Sea Kraken, which led to a backlash from the remaining demonic energy that nearly killed him.

If the Kraken's power and the Instant-Instant Fruit could be loaded simultaneously, this problem wouldn't exist.

The inability to use multiple Devil Fruit abilities simultaneously has always been a problem that Luo Chuan has been trying to solve.

Now, with the unlocking of the super-fusion editing function, this problem that has troubled Luochuan for so long has finally been solved.

In the banquet hall of the Dragon Palace, Luo Chuan used the tail of a beautiful mermaid as a pillow and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.

His mind sank into the editor's darkroom, brought up the panel, and slid to the newly unlocked Super Fusion editor.

[Click to confirm purchase of Fusion Upgrader]

The next second, the panel jumped to a second-level page.

Something resembling an online store appeared before Luo Chuan's eyes.

However, the items in the store are very simple, with only five slots.

The last three slots are still locked; only the items in the first two slots are available for purchase.

Luo Chuan's gaze first fell on the item in the first slot.

This is something similar to the Orb Ring from the Ultraman world next door, a Dual Fusion Ascension Device—priced at 30 reputation points!!!

As the name suggests, this Ascension Device allows for the simultaneous fusion of up to two Devil Fruit abilities.

The second compartment contains the Triple Fusion Ascension Device, whose structure is identical to the Zeta Ascension Device from the Ultraman world next door.

The Ascension Device has three medal slots, representing that it can simultaneously load and fuse up to three Devil Fruit abilities.

Its selling price is 100 million reputation points!!!

Seeing the hefty price tag, Luo Chuan was momentarily at a loss.

He had already spent most of the reputation points he had accumulated before this major event in the Holy Land.

At this point, his reputation points had barely exceeded 100,000.

Luo Chuan estimated that in a few more days, it should be able to break 300,000.

However, it is still too difficult to gain a million reputation points based on this incident.

Should we acquire the dual ascender first, or wait until we accumulate a million reputation points and directly acquire the triple ascender?

From a practical standpoint, the triple fusion sublimator is naturally superior, since more fruits mean more paths.

The combinations of three abilities are far more varied than those of two abilities.

But who knows how long it will take to accumulate that million reputation points?

New features are something you should buy early to enjoy.

It takes seventy steps to go from 30 to 100.

It only takes thirty steps to go from 70 to 100.

In other words, Luo Chuan has 300,000 reputation points, but he is still 700,000 short of purchasing the second-tier Triple Ascension Device. This accumulation process is destined to be difficult.

However, if you have 700,000 on top of that, you only need another 300,000. Plus, with a double sublimation device as a base, the waiting process won't be too agonizing.

"It's decided!"

Luo Chuan opened his eyes, looked at half of the ceiling, and made a decision in his heart.

"My lord, you're awake!"

A soft, sweet voice came from behind, and the beautiful mermaid leaned forward slightly.

Now, Luo Chuan could no longer see the ceiling; all he could see was delicate whiteness.

"My lord, please have some grapes~"

Another mermaid girl picked out some grapes and brought them to Luo Chuan's lips.

"My lord, please have a drink!"

The third mermaid girl handed over a wine glass.

Surrounded by a mermaid girl with a bright red star, whoever lives this life will be completely bewildered.

Even with Luo Chuan's composure, he couldn't resist and succumbed to the mermaid girl's gentle charms.

……

……

Three days later, as Luo Chuan had predicted, his reputation points surpassed 300,000.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Chuan directly paid the full amount for the dual fusion sublimator.

In the editor's dark room, Luo Chuan had a sudden thought, and the 'Orb Ring' appeared out of thin air.

Luo Chuan grabbed it and instantly began to refine it.

One of the squares representing the Devil Fruit on the circular ascender has been occupied.

Animal-type Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast, Kraken form!!!

Since that day, I have been commanded to possess the powers of the North Sea Kraken.

The stubborn evil spirit, residing within Luochuan's body, was constantly causing damage.

However, the speed at which the demonic energy was destroyed could not keep up with the Kraken's super-fast regeneration ability, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

After so many days of observation and research, Luo Chuan discovered that to completely solve the problem of demonic energy, what is needed is powerful domineering energy!

The demonic energy of Im, the King of the World, is in a sense also the power of the 'Demon Fruit'.

An excessive amount of Armament Haki is enough to offset the debuff of demonic energy.

However, Luo Chuan's current domineering cultivation level is not yet high enough to instantly eliminate all residual demonic energy.

However, Luo Chuan was not in a hurry, because he discovered that his domineering aura was also increasing in the process of fighting against the demonic energy.

Anyway, I'll be vacationing on Fishman Island for the next while, so there's no need for battle. I'll just take it slow.

It's a good opportunity to borrow demonic energy to cultivate domineering power.

Getting back to the main point, regarding the two fruit materials for the Circular Ascension Device, one is fixed, but fortunately, Luo Chuan has enough abilities to choose from many options.

This is a perfect opportunity for Luochuan to find the fruit combination that best suits the animal system.

However, the first step is to find a training ground that is large enough and undisturbed.

With a thought, Luo Chuan instantly transformed the Instant Fruit into a card, which he held between his fingers and inserted into the ring.

[Paranoia-type Shun-Shun Fruit, loading]

Luo Chuan looked beyond Fishman Island, and with a thought, instantly left Fishman Island.

The water pressure from the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, could not exert any pressure on Luochuan.

Luo Chuan moved his limbs freely, then opened his mouth to breathe. Under the power of the North Sea Kraken, he could breathe freely even in the water.

After confirming that everything was in order, Luo Chuan used teleportation repeatedly and finally arrived at the underwater volcanic area thousands of miles away.

With a thought, Luo Chuan unleashed the full power of the Fish-Fish Fruit, a Mythical Beast-type Kraken.

A massive earthquake struck the underwater volcanic region, and a giant octopus crashed onto the seabed.

The earth cracked open, and lava gushed out. The Kraken bathed in the lava without feeling any discomfort.

This is the first time Luo Chuan has fully unleashed the power of the North Sea Kraken. It must be said that the animal-type mythical beast is indeed the answer to this version, truly extraordinary.

"Then, let's begin the experiment!"

First is the Thunder Fruit, which is my destiny.

With the addition of the Thunderclap ability, the Kraken upgrades to the Thunder Octopus, its body enveloped in lightning.

Even a gigantic body thousands of meters long can instantly transform into elements and appear in the distance.

A colossal creature with immense power, possessing the speed and energy of lightning, it is undeniably terrifying.

Next came the trembling fruit.

The combination of the power of the tremor and the Kraken is equally terrifying.

With a gentle wave of its eight giant tentacles, the Kraken shattered the sea.

The terrifying power directly triggered a massive underwater volcanic eruption.
