One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Big Bear was also surprised. "No wonder you said that obtaining this fruit would speed up our efforts to unify the ocean. Is that the reason? You want to form an army of people with special abilities?"

"That's right..."

Caesar nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the system panel.

At this time, the Dark Dark Fruit had been upgraded, and a card with a gold-plated frame was floating in his field of vision.

[Collection Item: Devil Fruit (Light and Dark Fruit)]

When Caesar saw the name of the fruit, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment.

God damn light and dark fruit!

However, when his eyes fell on the comments below, Caesar felt that there was nothing wrong with light and darkness.

Anyone who has done it knows how outrageous the value will be when a piece of equipment is added with the Light prefix!

The vampire fruit is a good example. Normal mythical beasts only have one or two core abilities, and are not as powerful as the legend says.

Caesar's light vampires can manipulate blood, heal injuries, maintain eternal youth, be immortal, transform into elemental bats, and are immune to most diseases and toxins.

The original vampire fruit also has the ability to heal injuries, but Caesar absolutely does not believe that it can even grow internal organs and limbs like it does now.

As for the elemental bat, it has never appeared in the game. Caesar is not sure whether it can be developed, but none of the mythical beasts have shown elemental characteristics so far. Even Marco's phoenix is ​​only a pseudo-elementalization achieved through the continuous regeneration flame.

Caesar had been hiding his trump card, Elementalization, just to surprise his enemies at some point, but he never expected his father-in-law to pull it out with a single blow...

[Comment: I took the damage, I earned the energy, but the pain? It doesn't exist! Oda knows nothing about One Piece!]

"System, use the Light and Dark Fruit on me!"

Caesar's heart was beating violently, and the card in front of him suddenly turned into a stream of light and sank into his body.

The power of darkness surged out like a black flame, gently dancing on Caesar's shoulder.

"Is this the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Yamato reached out curiously, his fingertips gently touching the deep darkness on Caesar's shoulder.

Bang!

As soon as Yamato touched the darkness, his hand was stuck to Caesar's shoulder as if glued.

"Oh!"

Yamato exclaimed, and his whole body was attracted by an inexplicable gravitational force, sticking to Caesar like a koala.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't try to explore abilities you don't understand."

Raising his hand, he gently pinched the slender waist, and then Caesar controlled himself and let go of Yamato.

Yamato grinned: "Hey, Caesar, you won't hurt me!"

"Is this gravity?"

Robin studied the darkness dancing on Caesar.

"Ah, let me show you."

Beneath Caesar, a darkness surged out like a tide and spread under the coffee table.

crunch--

Bang!

In just a moment, the surface of the coffee table began to crack, and finally, in the astonished eyes of everyone, it was torn into countless pieces by the violent gravity and finally swallowed up by the darkness.

Caesar stared at the receding darkness thoughtfully, then suddenly turned to look at Yamato: "Yamato, no need to be domineering, just give me a punch!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy punch hit Caesar's chest.

Caesar remained motionless, as if this was not a heavy punch but a gentle caress.

"Use your Armament Haki, and throw another punch. Remember..."

Bang!

Another punch landed on Caesar's chest, and Yamato blinked, "Huh? Remember something?"

“Remember to be gentle…”

Caesar grimaced in pain, but his body remained motionless.

He immediately stood up, walked to the wall amid everyone's puzzled gazes, and gently pressed his palm on the wall.

boom--

With a loud bang and a dazzling light, the wall in front of him suddenly collapsed and melted instantly under the influence of extreme speed and high temperature, leaving a lava road more than ten meters long in the manor!

"What is this? This is it!"

Bonnie's eyes widened. "Isn't it the Dark-Dark Fruit? What does this have to do with darkness? And what's the point of those two punches?"

"Well... Mr. must have his reasons for doing this!"

Bartolomeo couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop him from having blind confidence in Caesar.

Caesar smiled and didn't explain.

It was difficult for him to explain what a black hole jet was to these guys who had never even attended school. In fact, he himself only had a vague understanding of it, and the reason he discovered this ability was because of Yamato's two punches.

Judging from the upgrade of the vampire fruit, although the upgraded fruit has high values, the ability upgrade also requires basic logic. It is impossible to erase the disadvantage of doubling the pain out of thin air. The black hole nature of the Dark Dark Fruit also determines its characteristic of absorbing attacks, and this disadvantage cannot disappear out of thin air.

But the fact is that the disadvantage of doubling the pain has indeed disappeared, without any cost.

Not only did this drawback disappear, but even without the attachment of Haki, Yamato's damage failed to cause even the slightest harm or pain to Caesar!

Although the fist with domineering power hurt Caesar, it was just normal pain.

And Caesar could clearly feel that of Yamato's two powerful punches, the power of the first punch was perfectly absorbed by his body, and most of the power of the second punch was also absorbed. The remaining power was not enough to cause any harm to him.

The only reasonable explanation Caesar could think of was that after the fruit ability was upgraded, it became a real black hole, or was closer to a real black hole.

Judging from the original plot, the original Dark-Dark Fruit is not so much a black hole as it is a superhuman system that combines the three abilities of darkness, devouring, and gravity.

A real black hole cannot have only its hands capable of absorbing the opponent's attacks. It must also be limited to the scope of non-physical attacks.

And according to the characteristics of black holes, all external attacks will collapse infinitely the moment they approach Blackbeard and be torn into pieces by the powerful gravity.

The system's evaluation of the Dark-Dark Fruit is very appropriate. The bigger the cheat Oda gives to Nika, the more severe the damage to the Dark-Dark Fruit will be.

However, Caesar could understand it. After all, a black hole, in theory, only one cubic centimeter could destroy the entire earth.

The upgraded Dark-Dark Fruit certainly wouldn't be able to destroy a planet, but judging from the power of the black hole jet, Caesar felt that it should have real black hole capabilities.

Simply put, if a real black hole is compared to a car, then the Dark-Dark Fruit before the upgrade can only be regarded as a pull-back toy car worth a few dollars.

The upgraded Dark-Dark Fruit can be seen as a high-end remote-controlled toy car. Although it still cannot compare with a real car, it has all the basic capabilities of a car.

As for the disadvantage of doubling the pain, it has nothing to do with black holes.

After the upgrade of the Dark-Dark Fruit, no matter whether it is matter, energy, or even light, everything will be swallowed by darkness.

However, Caesar is not a real black hole after all, and cannot absorb the energy of external attacks without being injured. Therefore, this part of the energy will be accumulated in the dark space inside the body.

Of course, this ability also has its limits. Once it reaches a certain threshold, it will harm Caesar himself.

But fortunately, he can choose to release this energy at any time, and add his own strength to release it in the form of a dark jet.

After sorting out his thoughts, Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, this dark fruit was not eaten in vain!

Even if he can't plunder his abilities, based on the characteristics he has shown so far, in a one-on-one fight, there is probably no one in the world who can be his opponent!

Top defense + top physique + top recovery + top domineering + energy absorption + ability restraint...

There may be people in this world who can cause more damage than him, such as Shanks and Hawkeye.

But Caesar felt that there should be no one in the world with a longer health bar, thicker armor, and higher tolerance than him!

"Let's go!"

Caesar took a step forward and walked into the yard through the hole that had just been blasted out.

Snow was drifting in the sky. He looked up at the sky and exhaled a puff of white mist.

"It's time for us to go... and seize the world!"

PS: There is no charge for adding this paragraph!

I don't know much about black holes, only a vague understanding. Regarding the Dark-Dark Fruit, do you have any good development directions that you can suggest? Also, is the evaluation and upgrade of the Dark-Dark Fruit in this chapter still within a reasonable range?

Dark Dark Fruit: Black Hole Tendency

Some readers have commented that the Dark-Dark Fruit is not the Black Hole Fruit. I looked into the setting of the Dark-Dark Fruit and found that it has infinite gravity and space like a black hole, but the element it represents and its elemental state are both black holes.

So regarding the question of whether An An is darkness or a black hole, I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with using a black hole as the core of the ability.

Because even if I don't upgrade, the fruit's response to darkness is based on the characteristics of a black hole. Just like all of Blackbeard's skills are inseparable from gravity, this is not an extended development of the fruit, but the fruit's basic ability.

Moreover, the most difficult part of upgrading the Dark-Dark Fruit is that the upgrade cannot be useless, otherwise it will be boring, but it cannot be too extreme, otherwise it will become a real problem. It also has to reasonably give up the disadvantage of pain.

Taking into account that the natural fruits all represent a single element, I spent most of the day yesterday struggling over whether to use darkness or black hole. Finally, I used deepseek to decide on the black hole, which is more powerful and has more diverse development directions.

This can be considered as an extension of its original ability. After all, the original Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to resist darkness is only reflected in the color of the skill.

Moreover, if it were pure darkness, there would be no manifestation of gravity, and it would have no value in development.

On the contrary, darkness can be regarded as a lower-level branch of the black hole. In addition, the basic ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit is also the performance of a low-end black hole, so after the upgrade of this book, the Dark-Dark Fruit is closer to the real black hole.

It’s mainly due to the setting of the original work. The Dark-Dark Fruit was indeed too harsh.

If you want to reasonably get rid of the disadvantage of pain, you can either go the pure dark route and not be attacked like other elemental transformations, but then you have to give up the ability to absorb damage, which is a pity.

Or you can move closer to the black hole and absorb and store energy. The original Dark Dark Fruit absorbs damage, but after the upgrade it absorbs energy.

The change in ability is based on the principle that matter will collapse due to the strong gravitational force when approaching a black hole, so there will be no disadvantage of pain, but there will be a limit to endurance. Haki can also weaken this ability characteristic, which is not a departure from the original setting.

Of course, I also want to have both darkness and black hole characteristics, but not to mention the singleness of the natural system, otherwise the cheat will be too harsh. Looking at the protagonist's skill list, you can find that the protagonist is now very strong and has many abilities, but they are basically life-saving skills that increase tolerance.

In addition, the items rewarded by the system will basically not exceed the rewards of the current world. The only current achievement reward for the Great Sword is Shallow Strike, which is to pave the way for the subsequent plot. At least the ability of Shikai Bankai will not appear in the One Piece arc.

That’s about it, I’m typing now!

Chapter 80 Nami

Donghai, Cocoa West Village.

The hundred-meter-long three-masted sailboat slowly docked at the pier. Bonnie leaned on the guardrail and looked at the concave bay below, tilting her little head.

"The shape of this pier looks so strange!"

"Of course, after all, this place was not built as a dock in the first place."

Caesar came to Bonnie's side and looked at the fishermen gathered below. "A few years ago, this village was ruled by a group of murlocs from the Grand Line. They occupied this inner bay and built an Arlong Paradise."

"In the end, a monstrous old navy man punched the entire building down with one blow. This is what it looks like after it was cleaned up. It's perfect for using as a small dock."

"Hey, little brother, do you know this place well?"

The fishermen on the shore laughed when they heard Caesar's words and said, "Are you a merchant ship?"
