Konoha's Mission Master

What kind of Devil Fruit is this?

Natural-type Space Fruit?

Paramecia-type Air-Air Fruit?

During this period, Yakumo enhanced the Devil Fruits of these Revolutionary Army cadres, with very promising results. Because the activation levels of the individuals differed, the effects they obtained varied greatly.

Among these revolutionary army cadres, the most outstanding one had an activation rate of 93% for his recessive genes, which allowed him to almost perfectly control his own destiny.

When he underwent the enhancement, the improvement he showed surprised even Yakumo. However, the backlash from the animal's will was even more terrifying.

If Yakumo hadn't used the Soul-Soul Fruit to control the situation, his only consequence would have been being transformed into a mindless orc.

Yakumo discovered that as long as the activation rate of recessive genes is above 90%, it is possible to perform three-form manipulation effectively, which means reaching the peak state of Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

After all, the potential of ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits is very limited. They don't even have an awakened state. At most, they can gain more personal insights or understanding in mastering the three forms, and strengthen the user's physique and recovery ability as much as possible.

Yakumo analyzed that it seemed that all Zoan-type Devil Fruits would enhance the user's regenerative abilities, only the degree of enhancement varied.

In this way, the enhancement of recessive genes to 100% can be considered as breaking the inherent limits of Devil Fruits and stepping into a completely new realm.

This field is incredibly promising.

Yakumo estimated that when the gene activation rate reaches 100%, the combat power will be at the level of an admiral.

In fact, due to its powerful regenerative abilities, it surpasses ordinary generals in terms of sheer vitality.

Under the influence of the Soul-Soul Devil Fruit, the side effects exhibited by the group were promptly suppressed by Yakumo, and the activation progress of the recessive genes steadily advanced.

Yakumo also gained a great deal from this process, namely, a more refined grasp of his soul power, allowing him to use his abilities from a more microscopic perspective.

Shyvana's Devil Fruit activation level was originally around 10%, but she challenged 5% on her first attempt without any side effects.

After Yakumo used his soul power to baptize her, he began a new round of strengthening work the next day. The progress was still five percent, and the result was the same as the previous day.

Shyvana perfectly overcame her animalistic will, without ever losing control. The side effects on her became negligible, as if there were no limits.

Such things are extremely rare, since there are no secret methods in the world of One Piece to enhance the strength of the soul and will.

The strength of each person's soul is mostly acquired naturally, and the difference between people is not significant.

However, the strength of their will comes from their respective experiences, which is why there is a big difference. For the first ten years or so, Shyvana was obviously a very well-protected young lady.

That upheaval did not destroy her will; instead, it led her through a unique transformation. The suffering that could not kill her ultimately became the key that made her stronger.

Driven by hatred, she developed an incredibly resilient heart. With this analysis, Yakumo could understand why Shyvana's will was so strong.

After all, she is a vengeful goddess who has returned from hell, her body engulfed in flames. She is willing to pay any price to become stronger.

Within three days, it has grown from the initial 10% to the current 25%.

In terms of physical strength alone, her power has been amplified three times, and she can now perfectly control her half-beast state.

Shyvana, having grown accustomed to her Devil Fruit abilities, often sparred with Yuuki Chiyuki. During their battles, Yuuki Chiyuki also practiced her own Devil Fruit abilities.

When he activated his Devil Fruit power, he was naturally recognized by Garp, who was recuperating from his injuries. The old man, whose body was wrapped in bandages, remained silent for an entire day.

And it was facing the direction of the Navy Headquarters. Yakumo guessed that he was using this method to pay tribute to Sengoku and to remember his old friend who had fought alongside him.

At the same time, it is also a way to reminisce about the brotherhood that lasted for decades.

In Yuuki Chiyuki, the power of the Human-Human Fruit in Mythical Zoan form underwent a drastic change. If in the Warring States period he was a compassionate and wise Buddha.

Therefore, the state that You Gu Qianxue displayed was that of an angry Vajra, with an almost boiling killing intent spreading outward from her whole body.

His size hadn't increased; only the lines of his muscles had taken on a golden sheen.

Yakumo also tested this, and found that when the fruit is activated, Yukotsu Chiyuki's body defense is greatly enhanced, followed by the enhancement of her strength and recovery ability.

The fruit on his body seemed to have undergone a strange evolution due to the deathly aura, not only carrying an incredibly terrifying killing intent, but also gaining a peculiar state.

Yukotsu Chiyuki had described that peculiar state to Yakumo; simply put, it was...

Gain a power boost by sacrificing reason.

One night, Yakumo had a full-force sparring session with Yukotsu Chiyuki and discovered that if he unleashed all his abilities, he would be comparable to an admiral in strength.

Of course, it's just that my combat experience is a bit rusty.

That battle showed Yakumo Chiyuki Yukotsu's terrifying potential; she mastered the Devil Fruit in just three days.

After a brief hesitation, he decided to accelerate the progress of the Buddha Fruit, making the greatest preparations for the upcoming battle.

Chapter 354 Proof of Domination: The Secret of the Mythical Beast Species

A gentle breeze blew across the sky, and blue skies and white clouds drifted lazily by.

On the new day, Yakumo was still in the laboratory, preparing for the activation of everyone's genes. Due to the difference in the strength of their will, the activation degree of each reagent was very different, ranging from two percent to five percent.

Yukoku Chiyuki also officially began strengthening the recessive genes of her Devil Fruit today, continuing her efforts to improve her own strength.

Three days have passed, and he hasn't even reached one percent of the activation level of this mythical beast. Clearly, there's still a long way to go before he can unleash the full potential of this fruit.

However, his strength has improved dramatically, which means that Yakumo's guess was correct: Zoan-type Mythical Beasts have a higher power ceiling.

In his spare time, Yakumo analyzed the blood he had acquired and mastered, excluding Garp's blood, and found that Sengoku's activation level of the Devil Fruit was barely around 85%.

This level is still some distance from the awakening of a fruit; his strength is already at the pinnacle of the entire ocean.

This raises other questions: to what extent does the full awakening of a Mythical Zoan Fruit correspond?

With this question in mind, Yakumo analyzed Marco's blood and found that his activation level was around 80, but his outward appearance seemed to have already touched the threshold of awakening.

After all, he had demonstrated a terrifying regenerative ability that was almost immortal, but this level of power was only activated to about 80%.

If assimilation and super resilience represent awakening, then what level would be equivalent to reaching 100%?

What kind of power will this 100% activation level reveal?

It's above the Four Emperors.

Yakumo guessed that his activation level of the Soul-Soul Fruit was about 80%, and that spending 160,000 gold coins to further improve it would bring it to 100%!

If 80% represents awakening, then what level would a 100% activation rate of a Devil Fruit correspond to?

He believed he would soon have the answer.

When Yukotsu Chiyuki ate the fruit, the power called hope reappeared, washing away the side effects inside the fruit, and then returned to Yakumo's body.

During this process, Yakumo could not even perceive any loss in this energy called hope. This energy seemed to be at an extremely high level, impossible to observe or discover.

Only when activated could Yakumo barely sense the existence of that glimmer of hope, but he was unable to intervene in it and could only let this energy parasitize his body.

For You Gu Qianxue's first upgrade, she planned to directly activate 10% of the progress, which was undoubtedly a huge gamble.

However, Yakumo did not believe that the experiment could fail.

After all, the bloodline of the Otsutsuki primarily strengthens the spirit, or rather, the soul, and Yukotsu Chiyuki's soul strength definitely surpasses that of an admiral.

That's where the advantage lies.

To avoid trouble, Yakumo chose to activate the platform on the sea near the deserted island, using wood-style artifacts to build a platform several hundred meters long as a temporary base for the activation.

This way, even if any accidents occur, they will not easily affect others, and suppression can be carried out at any time.

Here, close to the sea, the air carries a faint salty smell.

You Gu Qianxue inserted the reagent into her body and slowly injected it into her mixed three-colored blood, which produced a certain change almost immediately.

A faint golden aura flowed rapidly beneath his skin, gradually making his originally fair skin rough and hard, as a completely different will awakened within him.

The sound of Buddhist scriptures being read aloud faintly appeared in the void, with waves of Sanskrit chants echoing, as if countless eminent monks were reciting scriptures.

The will that suddenly rose within him surged rapidly toward his brain, radiating golden energy as it moved forward.

This energy is quite sunny and clean, making people feel relaxed and wanting to lie down on the ground and take a quiet nap.

This energy makes people give up resistance and defense, working silently and imperceptibly, making people want to put their hands together and unconsciously sever all ties to take refuge.

This is the unique nature of the Buddha Fruit; it is not domineering, but it subtly rewrites the will of the user.

In You Gu Qianxue's mind, those important memories from the past slowly faded and became unimportant, as if they could be easily discarded, like an eraser had been added to her mind.

He did not resist, but rather experienced the wonder of this energy, until the image of Yakumo in his mind gradually faded.

This is clearly not something that Yukotsu Chiyuki would allow.

You Gu Qianxue gave up on comprehending the fruit's abilities and began to mobilize her own will to launch a counterattack, resisting the vast and elusive golden Buddhist light.

A chilling murderous aura appeared between his brows and eyes, the peace was gone, and the atmosphere of the golden light of salvation was ruined. The surrounding chanting and scriptures were no longer pleasant to hear, but more like the wails of demons.

Yukotsuki's reaction directly triggered a furious counterattack from the Devil Fruit, and the battle between the two wills officially began.

In the realm of will, two completely different wills clash in a silent battle, and there can only be one victor.

Changes were also taking place on You Gu Qianxue's body; her originally slender muscles were gradually becoming thicker.

The speed of blood flow continued to increase, the heartbeat was stronger than ever before, and the blue veins that were originally hidden under the skin gradually emerged and bulged, like a blue network that spread all over the body.

Wearing a sky-blue cloak, Yakumo stood to the side, constantly watching for changes in Yuuki Chiyuki with his Soul Eye, since he had also consumed a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

He quickly discovered that the golden light was extremely difficult to deal with, as if it had been tempered and refined to become very tough, and it was difficult to defeat it in a short time.

This is destined to be a long and drawn-out battle, but in terms of willpower, Yukotsu Chiyuki has already gained the upper hand, and victory is already a foregone conclusion.

The energy of death is inherited from Nasus, the god of death in the desert, who was also a powerful being in the realm of the soul.

Finally, half an hour later.

In the battle of wills, Yougu Qianxue completely destroyed that golden will, bringing this enhancement to a close.

The crushed golden energy did not dissipate, but instead began to nourish the flesh and blood, gradually strengthening it.

This kind of change has never happened with other Zoan-type Devil Fruits. Moreover, the golden energy also strengthens Yuuki Chiyuki's mental will.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.

The reinforcements continued until everything was completely calm again.

Upon closer inspection, Yakumo discovered that some of the downy hairs inside the pores of Yuuki Chiyuki's exposed skin were dyed a light gold color.
