Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Back on the deck, I stood looking out at the vast glacial plains in the distance and watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Matthew's breathing at this moment was rhythmic and had a special cadence, which accelerated the digestion of the nutrient solution, which was equivalent to the nutritional value of dozens of people's meals.

"After two months of training, my physical strength has increased significantly, my training in the three types of Haki has reached the preset stage, and the development of the Glint-Glint Fruit's abilities is also gradually improving. Overall, my combat power should have reached the level of a pirate vice admiral."

Matthew made a preliminary assessment of his overall combat strength.

His own foundation was ridiculously high, and with the aunt's monstrous talent, even without deliberate cultivation, as long as she had sufficient nutrition, her physique would increase day by day, constantly breaking the limits of the human body.

In addition, the top-tier Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit has significantly enhanced the activation of the three types of Haki, enabling not only to harden and bind Armament Haki but also to initially achieve fluid and outward release.

His Observation Haki has a range of nearly three kilometers. He is extremely proficient in using basic abilities such as sensing attacks, predicting attacks, sensing the strength of living beings, their emotions and thoughts, and the location and quantity of objects in the wild.

To some extent, he can even begin to capture the dynamic flow of the wind.

However, it hasn't reached the point of being able to predict the future.

He can already control the range and power of Conqueror's Haki at will, but there is still a gap between him and Conqueror's Haki Entanglement. After all, he did not have the guidance of Kaido, who could knock out the Emperor level with three blows, and his training time was still short, which is normal.

In addition, two months ago, he started another round of cumulative check-ins and obtained the complete six-style cultivation method.

The Six Powers is a high-level physical technique used by the Navy in the One Piece world. It consists of six special moves: Shave, Iron Body, Paper Drawing, Moon Walk, Tempest Kick, and Finger Pistol. It is a physical technique that surpasses the limits of human physical ability.

The Six Styles, as advanced physical techniques, are also quite useful for Matthew.

In other words, the Six Forms make it easier for practitioners to understand and control their own bodies. Its comprehensive cultivation method can make those who originally had a relatively rough control over their power more refined.

In the realm of naval vice admirals, he was considered to be at the top level.

Garp, that old monster, isn't included.

The old lady's physical talents as a steel balloon gradually became apparent, with her body's defensive strength and healing ability being quite terrifying.

His immense destructive power and mobility from the Glint-Glint Fruit, along with his impressive mastery of the three types of Haki, are all pluses. If we had to point out a weakness, it would probably be his physical abilities.

This weakness is compared to the general's echelon.

Those top-tier fighters can easily last for days and nights in high-intensity battles; he's still far from that level.

However, Matthew was not discouraged, after all, he had only been cultivating for less than a year since he started using the system.

It's quite astonishing that we could achieve this level in less than a year.

With his talent and sufficient nutritional supplements, all he needs to do next is to cultivate diligently.

Chapter Sixteen: Sign-in for Devil Fruit Encyclopedia (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

He accumulated check-ins two months ago, and the reward he received was the Six-Style Cultivation Method.

Now that two months had passed, Matthew thought for a moment and activated the rewards again.

"Ding! The 60-day cumulative sign-in reward has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining the Devil Fruit illustration."

As the cold, metallic sound rang in his ears, Matthew frowned slightly. "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia?"

Is this a complete tie to the One Piece world?

After silently grumbling to myself, I turned my attention to the new sign-in rewards.

[Devil Fruit Encyclopedia: Records 141 types of Devil Fruits, including Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia types. Devil Fruits can be created by absorbing the souls of demons (Note: The more powerful the Devil Fruit, the higher the quality of the demon soul required)]

Matthew paused for a moment after looking at the information in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, then fell into deep thought.

This thing is much better than he imagined. After all, being able to create something out of thin air that doesn't belong to this universe is already quite impressive.

Many of these powerful Devil Fruits grant corresponding abilities upon consumption, including those with astonishing destructive power or those based on rules.

The price to obtain it is the soul of a demon, which fits quite well with the idea that Devil Fruits contain the will of a demon, and is very reasonable.

To put it simply, if he wants to obtain a Devil Fruit, he has to actively hunt down demons so that the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia can absorb his soul in exchange for the Devil Fruit.

While powerful Devil Fruits are certainly impressive, they cannot make someone truly defy the heavens.

For example, does his Glint-Glint Fruit really allow him to travel at the speed of light?

For example, could the Rumble-Rumble Fruit allow for the development of electromagnetic manipulation, or even extend to the spectral level?

Not necessarily.

This is not simply a matter of whether or not one has enough knowledge to develop and transform Devil Fruit abilities.

More importantly, it's about mastering the Devil Fruit's abilities. Even with enough knowledge, he couldn't possibly develop the Glint-Glint Fruit to an incredible level. The reason is simple: computing power is required.

Without sufficient computational power, the brain cannot support the development of other extensions using the Glint-Glint Fruit.

During this time, he also studied the theory of light and tried to combine theories of light polarization, electromagnetic interference, and quantum properties in his experiments while developing the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

But upon trying it, he immediately discovered that his brain's computing power was simply insufficient to support such an operation.

This is quite similar to the concept of a certain scientific railgun, combining development capabilities with computing power to achieve a certain level of precision in utilizing those capabilities.

The brain needs sufficient computing power to convert and utilize those abilities.

Unless the brain has a supercomputer to help with the calculations.

Otherwise, many Devil Fruits, despite their seemingly huge potential, actually have limited limits.

However, Matthew was not disappointed. After all, the possibility of development was there. As his life level gradually increased, his brain's thinking and computing abilities would also improve. Perhaps the sign-in system could bring him even more surprises.

Speaking of Devil Fruits, Matthew is quite interested. After all, the sign-in system rewarded him with the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, rather than him eating a Devil Fruit. So, could he just eat a second Devil Fruit?

There are quite a few powerful Devil Fruits, such as the Gum-Gum Fruit in its final Nika form, the Door-Door Fruit (a space-type Devil Fruit), the Op-Op Fruit (a powerful functional Devil Fruit), the Fish-Fish Fruit (Azure Dragon form), the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and so on.

Logically, it should be possible.

Whether or not to eat a second Devil Fruit is another matter.

The appearance of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia greatly improved the feasibility of Matthew's original plan.

He wants to build his own team, or force.

He was not an ascetic in essence, nor was he a reclusive person. Rather than the lonely path of becoming a god alone, he preferred to change the fate of some people in the process of becoming stronger.

Of course, this is all predicated on his will.

The only problem now is that we need the soul of a demon.

Where can I find this thing?

This universe has the concept of hell, and demons exist in the hell dimension. Hell is a plane composed of countless dimensions.

Powerful demons who hold authority over these dimensions are called demon lords, and each demon lord is incredibly powerful.

Although there are differences in strength, they belong to the same echelon as the Heavenly Father.

Earth is a very special planet. Human civilization is considered a low-level civilization in the universe, but due to the special nature of the human race and Earth.

Demons love to descend upon Earth, feeding on human flesh and souls, manipulating humanity, emotions, and souls.

However, due to the differences between dimensions and the presence of a secret alliance of mages protecting Earth, demons dare not easily set foot on Earth. Otherwise, if they are discovered by the mages, they will either be banished back to Hell if they are lucky, or killed if they are unlucky.

Despite knowing the danger, the demons still flock to Earth, using mediums and channels to create fear and achieve their goals.

Or they might as well smuggle themselves in, driven by greed and fearlessness.

However, finding and hunting these demons was no easy task. Matthew's eyes flickered, and just as he was deep in thought, a series of ringing sounds suddenly broke his thoughts.

He casually pulled out his phone and answered the call; Nigley's voice came from the other end.

"Boss, Lei Che is in trouble."

...........

Inside the closed solitary confinement room, the metal walls showed signs of age and decay, while the long tubular chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the room brightly.

Inside, there was only a simple rectangular metal table and two chairs.

Rachel, a big guy, sat in a chair wearing a black sweater, a brown coat, and jeans. His hands and feet were shackled, and his face had some wounds, bloodstains, and dust, indicating that he had been in a fight.

He remained calm and composed, seemingly unafraid of what was to come.

At that moment, with a sound, the metal door of the sealed room was pushed open, and three figures walked in. The one in the middle, who was the leader, was wearing a black combat uniform, had some stubble, a short blond haircut, and a gray scarf around his neck. The two on the other side were dressed similarly, and they all had a very sharp and capable demeanor.

"Raycher Jack, 38 years old, graduated from West Point Military Academy. He is proficient in all kinds of weapons, close combat, forensic medicine and criminal identification. He was transferred to the army as a military policeman and received rigorous training. He spent a total of thirteen years in the army, from general duties and security to being in charge of homicide investigations."

"He retired at the age of 36 with the rank of major. After retiring, he wandered around without a fixed place to live. He was used to hanging out in museums and bars, liked blues music, and traveled by bus and train, staying in cheap hostels."

"Without any identification documents or driver's license, and without an address, phone number, or mobile phone, and without credit cards, always using cash for transactions, no records are left, and naturally no one can trace them."

Chapter Seventeen: I told you you messed with the wrong person, you bastard! (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)

The blond, buzz-cut man leading the group spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, revealing Raiche's identity one by one, and finally gave his assessment: "If you hadn't tried to counter-track us, it might have taken us even longer to find you."

"You're a clever, cunning, and strong guy, big guy."

Reicher remained noncommittal to the man's words, speaking slowly in a deep and confident voice: "The amphibious assault vest is one of the core pieces of equipment for Marine Corps reconnaissance and special forces, made of soft armor with SAPI ballistic plates."

"Protective sleeves, knee pads, and elbow pads made of Kevlar, 6-inch assault boots from Oakley, 'short' gloves from Protech SIG, and a Griptilian 550 knife from Butterfly."

"They were carrying M4A1 carbines and Mk14 Mod 0 enhanced combat rifles."

“When you arrested me, I observed that you were carrying standard GPNVG-18 night vision goggles, ENVG night vision goggles, M151 long-range target identification monoculars, MK VII E laser target positioning systems, and driving medium-sized assault vehicles and Humvees.”

"These are the most advanced weapons and equipment in the current special forces combat system. Your team has the standard combat system and tactics of special forces. You are neither from the Navy SEALs, nor the Green Berets, nor do you belong to any other official organization."

“I was cautious enough when I investigated you, but someone still betrayed me. Your connections extend throughout the political and military circles, and you have a highly efficient rapid response and transportation system. Even though you had already investigated my background, you still launched an arrest operation against me.”

"You are the private armed forces of some big shot."

Rachel's calm and accurate analysis and judgment made the man applaud lightly and exclaim, "Your mind is more surprising than your size. Someone as smart as you should understand why we captured you."

Raiche was well aware of their purpose, but he still said in a deep voice, "I advise you to give up this idea. You can't afford to offend him."

"There is no one in this world we cannot afford to offend, Rachel. All I need is that answer."

Men are equally confident.

Raiche remained silent, his gaze fixed on the man, a half-smile playing on his lips. This expression did not anger the man.

“He may not have any weaknesses, but you do, Rachel, your brother Joey, who is the director of the Office of Investigations at the Department of Homeland Security. He’s very promising, but we can get you to see his body soon enough if we want to.”

His tone was calm, but his words stirred something within Rachel.

It seems that the so-called big shots behind these people have quite a background. They can touch his brother in the Department of Homeland Security. Do they also have people in that department?

This force is indeed very powerful.

While calmly analyzing the situation internally, he feigned indifference on the surface: "Then you should have investigated whether my relationship with him is good or not. We haven't even been in contact once in more than ten years. What impact do you think killing him would have on me?"

"Anger? Rage? Despair? Do you want me to act it out for you?"

Upon hearing this, the man became restless. His face darkened, and he bent over, leaning forward slightly with his hands on the metal table in front of him, staring at Lei Che with an extremely imposing posture.

"If emotions won't bind you, what about the physical and mental pain? And I'd like to know if you're afraid of death, Major."

Despite the overwhelming threat, Raiche remained unmoved.

The two stood facing each other. Just as the man realized that Rachel seemed to be a tough guy, he became impatient and straightened up to see how much of a tough guy Rachel was, a deafening roar exploded in everyone's ears.

boom!!

The ground shook violently, and the entire enclosed room trembled violently. The long tube lights on the ceiling flickered. In the midst of the shaking, Lei Che and everyone else seemed to be thrown into the air, crashing into the walls with dull thuds.

"Uh... what's going on?"

The group of people, including Lei Che, slammed against the wall and then landed on the ground with dull thuds.

Fortunately, everyone present was physically strong, and the impact was not fatal or even caused any injuries. Soon, everyone stood up. Looking at Raiche, who had also stood up but was smiling, the blond man with the buzz cut felt something was wrong.

It wasn't just because of Lei Che's expression and the sudden commotion just now, but also because he vaguely sensed a sense of oppression, suffocation, and a terrifying aura looming between them.

"Command room, what's going on?" he shouted after taking out his communication device and turning it on, but there was only a buzzing sound on the other end, and no one responded.

"I told you you messed with the wrong person, you bastard."

Reicher's hands and feet were still shackled, and he leaned against the wall to steady himself. Because the sealed room was still shaking, Reicher knew very well from the amplitude and feeling of the shaking that the sealed room he was in came from a large ship, which was still sailing on the sea.
