Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

She saw in everyone's eyes the extreme trust and reliance on Luffy.

It seems that with Luffy around, there's nothing he can't do.

She couldn't help but look at Luffy, her mind filled with doubt.

"Why? Why does everyone trust you so much, Luffy?"

At 24, Vivi is still unable to understand this issue.

Just as Vivi was wondering, Icarum's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ahem... Ma-ma-ma... Princess Vivi, everyone, please listen to me."

Upon hearing Ikaram's voice, everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

They discovered that he had dressed up as Vivi at some point, and was holding a bunch of mannequins made to resemble the Straw Hat Gang.

Then everyone listened to what he said.

“Listen carefully, Princess Vivi.”

“From now on, I will impersonate you and leave here with the Straw Hat crew’s dummy, heading straight back to Alabasta.”

"While Baroque Works is chasing me, you should go back home with Mr. Straw Hat's crew on their ship, following the usual route."

"Although I've never traveled this route, it should take me through two or three islands before I arrive."

"I hope we will all be safe and sound and meet again in our motherland."

Vivi looked at Icarus with worry in her eyes, knowing that he was absorbing the greatest danger by doing so.

But now, this is the safest way for her to return to the country.

"Icarim...please be careful."

In response to Vivi's concern, Icarum smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then I'll be going first. After I leave, you should leave here as soon as possible."

After saying that, Icarum grabbed the dummy and rushed toward the shore.

Luffy watched Icarus leave without stopping him.

He knew that even if he said he was capable of protecting Vivi and didn't need Icarus as bait, the two of them wouldn't accept it.

They were too terrified of Crocodile to take that risk.

At this moment, Vivi looked at Luffy anxiously and said...

"Luffy, let's go quickly. Something so big has happened here, Baroque Works will definitely send people here soon."

Luffy shook his head and said.

"Wait, there's one more thing I need to do before I leave."

After saying that, he looked at Mr. 5, whom he had brought earlier.

Seeing this, the others all looked puzzled.

"Luffy, I was just about to ask you this, what are you doing with this guy? Isn't he from Baroque Works?"

What do you intend to do with this guy?

Luffy nodded and said.

"This guy is a user of the Blast-Blast Fruit."

"do you know?"

"After a Devil Fruit user dies, the fruit will be reborn somewhere in this world."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what was going on.

"Are you trying to take this explosive fruit?"

"But didn't you just say you'd be reborn somewhere? If that's the case, even if I kill him, I won't get the fruit, right?"

Luffy replied.

"Killing him directly will not grant you a Devil Fruit."

"But there's a theory about Devil Fruits."

"Devil Fruits consciously seek out their own masters."

Before anyone could ask another question, Luffy suddenly spoke up.

"Usopp, would you like the power of the Blast Fruit?"

Usopp was taken aback when Luffy suddenly mentioned him.

"Huh? Me?"

Luffy nodded and said.

"After eating this fruit, any part of the body can be turned into a bomb with gunpowder properties. If developed properly, it can even turn everything within a certain range of the user into a bomb and become immune to blast damage."

"Aren't you quite knowledgeable about gunpowder and bombs now?"

"If you eat this fruit, you will definitely develop amazing abilities and become stronger!"

After hearing Luffy's description of the Blast Fruit, Usopp was instantly tempted.

He's focused on getting stronger, but his talent is ultimately in sniping. Even though he trains with Zoro and Sanji every day, he still can't compare to them.

If he could eat this fruit, he would be very strong in both ranged and melee combat.

Usopp's eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he could already see the brave warrior of the sea in the future, and he spoke with great enthusiasm.

"I am willing!"

"But... even if I kill him, I still won't get the fruit, right? How can I obtain this ability?"

Usopp added, still puzzled.

Luffy looked thoughtful as he spoke.

"Actually, I'm just trying it out."

"Your understanding of bombs and your talent in them should already be top-notch."

"So I want to try and see if this fruit will be attracted by your talent and come to you on its own."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy used his extraordinary comprehension on Usopp, activating all of his understanding of bombs and allowing him to develop this talent to its fullest potential in that instant.

Usopp felt as if all the bomb knowledge he usually had to think about bit by bit suddenly gushed out of his mind like a geyser, and it was incredibly clear.

Just then, Luffy picked up a knife from the ground and plunged it into Mr. 5's heart.

Even after a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit power will remain in their body for a short period of time.

So all Luffy can do now is wait.

During this time, he continuously bestowed upon Usopp an extraordinary level of understanding.

Goooo!

Goooo!

A bird called from overhead.

While Luffy waited, he curiously looked up.

They suddenly noticed that as the bird flew over their heads, something seemed to fall off its back.

As the object fell lower and lower, Luffy was able to see its appearance clearly.

A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your comprehension, your transmitter, who is exceptionally gifted, is drawn to the Explosion-Explosion Fruit.]

"It's done!"

Luffy suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the others followed Luffy's gaze and noticed the black fruit with strange patterns, which was falling straight towards where Usopp was standing.

Usopp paused for a moment, then reached out and caught the fruit.

"Is this the Blast Fruit?"

"Sukuru! He actually came looking for Usopp!"

"Hurry up and eat, Usopp. Let's see this ability."

Amidst gasps of amazement from those around him, Usopp put the Blast Fruit into his mouth.

"Ugh...this tastes awful!"

After taking a bite, Usopp spat it out in disgust.

"Hey! Usopp, don't throw up! How will you gain this power if you don't eat it?"

Nami said anxiously, expressing her curiosity about what Usopp would become.

Usopp stared at the fruit with a pained expression, unable to bring himself to eat it.

Just then, Luffy spoke up.

"No need to eat it. You'll gain the power just by taking a bite of a Devil Fruit."

"really?"

Usopp looked pleasantly surprised, but after seeing Luffy nod, he threw away the rest of the food with obvious disgust.

"Hey! Hey! Usopp, show us!"

Nami looked excited, and the others also looked curious.

Thanks to Luffy's incredible comprehension, Usopp instantly grasped the basic usage of this fruit.

He walked up to a house and then threw a punch.

boom!

A violent explosion rang out, and the house collapsed with a crash.

Upon discovering that he had become so strong, Usopp was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, the brave warrior of the sea, Usopp, that's me! Hahahaha..."

The others also looked shocked.

"S...S country number one!"

Vivi, in particular, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It's even more powerful than when Mr. 5 used it!"

Just as Vivi said, Usopp's power far exceeded that of Mr. 5.

Luffy had actually anticipated this.

The strength of a fruit is greatly related to its owner's abilities.

Although Usopp had just eaten the Blast-Blast Fruit, he had been training every day before.

Given that his understanding and talent for explosions far surpass Mr. 5's, it's quite normal for him to display power that surpasses Mr. 5's.

However, Usopp will have to figure out the rest himself.

The potential of the Blast Fruit is not limited to this!

...

After resolving the issue of the Blast Fruit, Luffy and his crew headed towards the coast, ready to set off.

Just as Luffy was walking, he suddenly felt something soft press against him.

Turning his head, he saw Nami clinging to his arm, blinking her big eyes, pursing her lips, and looking at him with an expectant expression.

Luffy found it amusing and had a vague guess in his mind, but he still asked the question.

"Is there a problem?"

Nami's expression suddenly lit up, and she laughed.

"Hehe...when can you get me and Nojiko a Devil Fruit too?"
