Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

Once, five times, ten times!

In the blink of an eye, Yang Hao had simulated it more than ten times!

In the end, he was frustrated to discover that it was impossible to gain access to Devil Fruits through force.

Sometimes he was killed by Amaha, and sometimes he was killed by raiders.

Sometimes, he was even killed by the first mate.

In short, during the fight, he had no way to kill the vice-captain and safely obtain the Devil Fruit.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Yang Hao realized that force was not an option.

Perhaps, the only option is to outsmart them.

After some thought, Yang Hao opened the simulation system again.

Set a goal to deceive Amaha and the first mate, among others!

You left the black market with the Devil Fruits, only to be robbed once again.

This time, you didn't intervene; instead, you cooperated with Amaha and the others to kill the raiders.

You continued heading back towards the bay, but halfway there, you suddenly whispered a few words in Amaha's ear.

[Amaha looked at you with surprise upon hearing this, then found the first mate and reported it.]

After the report, the first mate approached you with a stern expression. You weren't surprised, because you had just lied to Amaha, saying that you were also a Devil Fruit user, but a Paramecia-type Up-Up Fruit user.

[The so-called upgrade ability is to upgrade something, improve its quality. However, according to you, this upgrade ability consumes your lifespan, so you rarely use it. But now, you've decided to use this ability on the Monkey-Monkey Fruit to improve its quality and turn it into an Ancient Zoan, or even a Mythical Zoan!]

[You and the first mate knew nothing about Ancient Species or Mythical Zoan types, yet you felt a sense of awe and wonder. You were secretly pleased, because this was exactly the effect you wanted.]

[Your goal is certainly not to upgrade the Devil Fruit, but to gain the opportunity to come into contact with that Devil Fruit. The words above are just an excuse you've come up with after much thought.]

Of course, the first mate wouldn't simply trust you, and you understood that, so before they could even raise any questions, you proactively said: "I know you don't believe me, but I'm operating right in front of you. If you find anything wrong, you can shoot me dead!"

Upon hearing this, the first mate considered it for a moment and actually agreed. This was because he had some understanding of Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities; the Monkey-Monkey Fruit, as the name suggests, grants the user the ability to transform into a monkey.

Generally speaking, the main effect of Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities is to enhance one's physical abilities, but the extent of this enhancement is limited, or rather, it is tied to the type of Devil Fruit.

Since it's the Monkey-Monkey Fruit, it can't be too exaggerated. Simply put, it will enhance physical abilities, but to say it's invulnerable to weapons is definitely impossible.

So your guarantee was quite reliable, and the first mate adopted your plan, handing you the Devil Fruit, but also warned Amaha and the others to be on guard and ready to kill you at any time.

You held the small box containing the Devil Fruit, incredibly excited, but outwardly maintained a calm demeanor.

Finally, the box was opened, and the golden, fuzzy peach-shaped fruit with spiral patterns appeared before you once again. Suppressing your excitement, you picked it up and, to the astonishment of the first mate and the others, swallowed it in one gulp.

[You ate the Monkey-Monkey Fruit and instantly transformed into a three-meter-tall giant ape!]

[The first mate and the others reacted, cursing and opening fire. In an instant, a hail of bullets rained down on you!]

Undeterred, you laughed and charged towards the first mate and his men, but after being shot dozens of times, you collapsed to the ground, covered in blood!

Just as the first mate had suspected, transforming into an ape did indeed greatly increase one's physique, but it didn't make one invulnerable, especially against highly penetrating objects like bullets. However, you were quite satisfied, as you withstood dozens of bullets before finally collapsing. Thus, you died with a smile on your face, amidst the extremely puzzled gazes of the first mate and the others.

[Simulation ended. This simulation produced one positive change: 1 Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, resulting in an ape-like form; 1 negative change: the curse of the sea was removed.]

At that moment, Yang Hao's eyes lit up.

I finally got my hands on the Devil Fruit power!

Chapter 10: The Monkey King, Sun Wukong?

010 Ape, Sun Wukong?

[Simulation ended. This simulation produced one positive change: 1 Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, resulting in an ape-like form; 1 negative change: the curse of the sea was removed.]

Yang Hao's eyes lit up.

I finally got my hands on the Devil Fruit power!

To obtain this Devil Fruit, he probably simulated it hundreds of times before finally achieving his goal!

"call!!!"

Yang Hao exhaled a long breath and then focused his mind on his body.

After eating a Devil Fruit, one develops a unique sense, thus becoming aware of the existence of that power.

At this moment, perhaps due to psychological factors, Yang Hao actually felt something surging up inside his body.

If I had to describe it in two words, it would be...

"strength!!!"

Yang Hao let out a low shout, and his entire appearance suddenly changed drastically.

His skin suddenly became rough and turned brownish-yellow.

Golden body hair sprouted from all over its body, densely packed.

A golden tail appeared behind it.

His handsome face has become rugged, and most strikingly, his physique has changed.

He was originally only 1.8 meters tall, but suddenly grew to 3 meters, and his thin body developed muscles.

Yang Hao walked to the mirror, where a three-meter-long golden ape was prominently reflected.

At first glance, it resembles a Vajra, silently embodying strength and beauty!

"The Monkey Fruit... Hahaha, hahahahahahahahaha!!!!"

Looking at his drastically changed appearance, Yang Hao couldn't help but grin, then burst into laughter.

Now, he is a genuine Devil Fruit user!

To Yang Hao's even greater surprise, despite becoming a power user, he was not cursed by the sea.

All of this was due to the aftereffects of the Devil Fruit, which the system assessed as a malignant change and removed directly!

"This is so awesome!?"

Yang Hao's face was full of excitement.

Devil Fruits are indeed a great thing, and can even be considered a unique cheat code in the world of One Piece.

However, its inability to come into contact with seawater is quite a fatal flaw.

This world is full of oceans, and you might drown at any time.

Although, I have never heard of any Devil Fruit user who was strong enough to drown.

But not having this drawback is ultimately a good thing.

In summary, it's like getting power for free without paying any price—it's absolutely awesome!

Yang Hao's ferocious face was covered with a smile.

Next, he turned his attention to the ape's abilities.

He tried to move his body and felt that he had inexhaustible strength.

Yang Hao moved all the furniture in the room, including the tables, chairs, and even the bed, one by one.

Not to mention tables and chairs, even heavy beds could be lifted up with ease by him.

His strength now is definitely several times stronger than before, possibly even ten times stronger!

Thinking of this, Yang Hao became interested, raised his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, and slammed it down on the table.

Bang!

The seemingly sturdy table was smashed to pieces by Yang Hao with a single punch!

Wood chips flew everywhere, and Yang Hao was stunned.

"So...powerful!!"

This is absolutely superhuman power, in short, Superman!!

Suddenly becoming a superhero caught Yang Hao off guard, yet filled him with boundless joy.

To be honest, Yang Hao had previously felt somewhat disgusted that the Monkey Fruit was a common Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but now he doesn't think so at all.

The reason he was so disgusted was simply because he had seen too many ancient species and mythical beasts.

But in reality, even an ordinary Zoan-type is an overwhelming force for ordinary people!

Yang Hao recalled the battle he had just fought against the Hughes Pirates in the simulation.

It simply means he's unfamiliar with this body and its power.

Otherwise, even if the other party had a gun, he could probably smash them to pieces!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hao couldn't help but look at the bed.

Having acquired immense power, he felt an urge to destroy everything and unleash his fury.

That's what Yang Hao thought, and that's what he did.

Boom boom boom!!!

bang bang bang! ! !

In no time, he had demolished the entire house.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Yang Hao felt that if he were to work in demolition, he would definitely stand out.

However, Yang Hao soon chuckled to himself.

As I said before, there's no way I'm going to work.

I will never work a regular job in my life.

Now that he has the abilities of an ape, a bright future lies before him!

Thinking of the wonderful idea, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile even more.

Next, Yang Hao's mind stirred, and his behavior suddenly changed.

Its golden body hair had shortened, its face had returned to a more human-like appearance, and its body had shrunk by nearly a meter.

He's still two meters tall, but looks more agile and nimble.
