Chapter 652
Even the erudite Robin felt a little confused at this moment. After all, she is not a person specializing in Devil Fruit research, but the answer to this question is obviously not a way to answer.
“I can’t be sure…that is, I can’t deny the possibility.”
Frowning, Robin obviously understood from Nami’s words what might have happened, and her answer like this was obviously exactly what Nami wanted.
“If you can’t deny it, it means it might happen, thank you, I see.”
Hanging up the phone bug, Nami knew what kind of answer she got. Yes, the questioning of Robin is only to further confirm her knowledge of the original material through the other party’s erudition about the world. It has been confirmed that the ability of the Devil Fruit can only have one real ability at a time, but it is not impossible that it can be used by other carriers. The most striking example in the original book is the World Government, or the PX Pacifist series invented by Bergabank.
With a powerful mechanical body, combined with the laser ability from Admiral Kizaru, this makes the PX series famous in the world of pirates, and even almost determines the inclination of the war situation on the top.
Before that, the reason why Nami habitually excluded PX from the example is because the PX series are man-made robots after all. Not beyond Nami’s cognition. But now, she suddenly recalled a very important point, that is, the same thing that these PX series are like humans is that they also have the same bright red blood as humans. On the Shambord Islands in the original book, one of the supernovas, Chiqi Drake injured a PX series, and his words at the time were also very interesting: [I didn’t expect you to shed the same blood as humans. 】
If it is a pure robot, then there is no need to simulate human blood. According to the scientific and technological means of Bergabank, it is possible to replace blood with more effective tissue fluid. But since the PX series has the same blood system as humans, it means that this design is necessary for them, otherwise they will not be able to act or achieve that kind of combat ability.
In addition to the hard steel appearance and the physical strength far exceeding ordinary people, the biggest combat ability of the PX series is undoubtedly their powerful laser cannons, and it is this ability that is the fundamental basis for them to destroy a large number of pirates. If their configuration needs to maximize the normal functioning of a function, there is no doubt that it is the laser cannon ability obtained from the Japanese ape.
Moreover, it now seems that if it is just a mechanical device to simulate the laser cannon of the Kiaboo, then it is not necessary to say it is a ‘laser of the kiwi, but a ‘simulation of the laser of the kiwi’. If so inferred, Begabunk should rely on some unknown means to share the ability of the yellow monkey to these humanoid weapons code-named the PX series. And to achieve this, it is probably the biggest factor that distinguishes them from ordinary robots: their imitation of human beings, or the blood that is indistinguishable from humans.
What these tedious data and inferences feed back to Nami is the fact that the ability of the Devil Fruit can indeed be shared with other individuals. Although from the performance of the PX series, this sharing ability must have its limitations, but the ability can be The one being shared has been identified.
In the past, when transforming other people, Nami did not need to consume her own blood, she only needed to use the blood of the transformed person to complete it. Only when healing Keya, because the other party was already extremely weak, Nami only used it. to help the other party recover quickly.
If the power of the Devil Fruit can really be transmitted through blood, then Koya has undoubtedly obtained part of the authority to use the power through Nami’s blood, or her body has been transformed by that part of the blood from Nami. A container that can exert its power. After all, the blood-and-blood fruit is different from other fruits. Its own area of ability lies in the flesh and blood. If the blood of other devil fruit users must be matched with the body of the original eater to exert their abilities, then it is very likely that the blood-blood fruit’s Blood has the habit of subconsciously transforming the body it exists into the body of the eater.
And this kind of behavior can obviously be described by many terms, such as ‘assimilation’, such as ‘infection’, etc., after all, it is all because of the blood of those who have the ability of blood and blood, and because of the specialization of ability, it is high in ‘level’ Because of the blood of other organisms, this leads to the phenomenon that the assimilation of the high-level blood vessels covers the low-level blood vessels.
Therefore, Nami was able to assimilate the blood of other people, and even manipulate different blood for one-sided or two-sided fusion, even though she has possessed this ability for so long, but now that she fully understands it, she finally understands To the horror hidden in this ability.
“It seems… this ability is not pure ‘power’, but something more terrifying…”
Thinking of a certain possibility, Nami’s forehead involuntarily seeped a line of cold sweat, and taking the scalpel on the dining table, the orange-haired girl slowly cut a wound on her right hand. The child’s wound could be healed in an instant, but this time Nami deliberately suppressed the speed of healing, and watched as a drop of red blood slipped from the back of her hand, and then dripped onto the glass dish in front of her.
Generally speaking, the blood will coagulate within five to six minutes after it flows out of the human body, and it will completely shrink after 24 hours, and then the serum will be precipitated. of brown. After all, they’re just a body fluid, and even if they contain a lot of red blood cells, they won’t change anything.
But the drop of her own blood in front of Nami’s eyes did not change in the passage of time. After the light at the top of the laboratory was reflected on the surface of the blood drop, it became a particularly dazzling and dangerous gem color. After a full hour, it still showed no sign of solidification, as if…it itself was some kind of living thing with an independent life.
Even Nami could clearly feel the reaction of the drop of blood. After her finger lightly rested on the drop of blood, the latter flew up like iron filings attracted by a magnet, and then penetrated into her. The fingers returned to her body.
And silently took a beaker full of blood next to her, Nami cut her finger again, and along with a drop of her blood dripping into the beaker, a terrible phenomenon finally appeared in front of her eyes.
The blood… did not fuse like she used to activate her ability, but clearly showed a terrifying sense of isolation. The drop of her body’s blood was completely suspended in the blood of the beaker in the form of an independent ball, accompanied by some subtle ripples visible to the naked eye, the surrounding blood also began to clearly shrink, but that drop of Nami The blood beads of the main body began to gradually increase in size.
There can only be one explanation for such a scene, that is: Nami’s blood is spontaneously swallowing the blood around it, and then assimilating into a category consistent with herself, like an independent creature, preying on her surroundings. nutrients, which in turn expands itself.
But this kind of volume substitution is obviously not equivalent. The proportion of Nami’s drop of blood increasing was almost dozens of times the proportion of blood disappearing in the beaker. Nami, who was watching with cold eyes, just waited for less than half an hour before this devouring behavior in the beaker stopped. . The blood that originally had a volume of 500 milliliters now has a capacity of less than 30 milliliters, but the remaining 30 milliliters are undoubtedly all of the same size as Nami’s body blood.
And Nami, who witnessed all this, raised her head slightly, she could feel her fingers trembling slightly, and a faint sense of dizziness was also circling in her mind. Even though she had known for a long time that the Devil Fruit person was no longer a ‘human’, but now, she really understood the fact that her body was already a monster.
“Sure enough… my blood… no, the blood of the blood-blood fruit person… itself is already some kind of creature…”
“This fruit didn’t give me power, but the blood in my body…”
“And the essence of its power is not ‘domination’ over blood at all, but… endows blood, like living things, that can ‘prey,’ ‘grow,’ and ‘evolve’… life!”
(PS1: The true meaning of blood power…is the cursed life…)
(PS2: Hmm~ I feel like the state is finally back~ Not much to say, everyone watch the update and give tickets~!)
Decide
“Hey~! We’ve paid you the medical bill, and we have only one request for you, that is, keep your mouth shut and don’t tell the story here! Otherwise~!”
He squeezed his wrist grimly, the black-faced Sanji’s meaning was obviously quite clear, while the fat doctor who was bandaging his right hand nodded hurriedly: “Of course, of course~ I will never say the slightest bit, so just Please forgive me~”
There is no doubt that the diagnosis given to Keya was a complete failure. After all, her pulse had disappeared. For a conventional doctor, no matter how advanced the medical skills were, they might not be able to treat such a patient. It stands to reason that if it is an ordinary pirate, the identity of Keya and the strange behavior of biting are already a top secret that cannot be revealed. The result of this fat doctor should be chopped with a knife and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. , so as to avoid the leakage of secrets, thus attracting the Navy or something else.
But the Straw Hat Pirates are the shame of the pirates after all, so the best they can do is to still pay the doctor’s visit fee, and then make a verbal threat.
“It’s hard to do this now. It looks like Nami did something to her.”
Looking at the door of the cabin, Zoro’s expression on the deck is also very serious: “If it is the change caused by the power of the Devil Fruit, apart from Nami, I am afraid we have no other way.”
“But we can’t leave her alone, since it was caused by my sister…then…”
Gritting her teeth uneasily, Nuo Qigao still didn’t say her next words, because she had already felt that Keya’s condition was definitely not a simple and abnormal move. She could still move without a pulse, and the kind of abnormality to the human body. Her desire to attack shows that she is no longer a normal person suitable for group life. Although Nuoqigao hopes that Nami can make up for this mistake, she is only a crew member after all, and she is not qualified to make a decision on this matter.
“Then we’ll take her to find Nami, the destination is the same anyway.”
Fortunately, Luffy, sitting on the bow of the Merry, never embarrassed his mates. Captain Straw Hat was still smiling, and there was no pressure in his tone: “And we are going to the great route, right? ~There must be a great doctor there, don’t worry at all~”
Undoubtedly, Luffy’s words caused the originally troubled crew members to look at each other involuntarily, and after confirming, they couldn’t help shaking their heads and chuckling. Yes, isn’t the reason to follow this young captain because he will never disappoint him?
“Okay~ Since the captain has given orders, we have no reason to say anything more. Hey, navigator, when are we going?”
Habitually raised his hand and pressed the scabbard on his waist, Zoro also turned his eyes to the side of Kebi, and the pink-haired dwarf who was asked was obviously startled. Babadi responded: “That…the materials and reserves are still abundant…so I think…”
“Really? Hmm~ I also think there are plenty of supplies~”
While nodding, he quickly took out a ham from behind and stuffed it into his mouth. Luffy, whose whole head was propped up like a ham, said vaguely, “So… Shall we set off now?”
Silently watching Luffy chew the ham in his mouth, Sanji’s face gradually turned blue, and then turned from blue to black. Obviously, as a chef, she has realized something.
“I think you need to re-check whether the so-called supplies are still ‘abundant’… Also, Luffy, stretch your head over.”
While saying a word to Kirby beside him, Sanji also greeted Luffy in the bow very kindly. Luffy, who didn’t know why, spat out the bones in his mouth, and then stuck his head out excitedly. Come over: “What? Sanji~”
“It’s nothing, I just want to treat you to something… like! Rough chops!”
With a heavy kick, Luffy stomped his entire head, and Sanji, who was furious, also roared, “Didn’t I tell you not to steal it? Damn! How can we go out to sea like this!”
“But I’m hungry~! If I’m hungry, I have to eat food!”
“Shut up! That’s just fodder for you!”
Seeing the fight between Sanji and Luffy, Zoro, who was holding his forehead, couldn’t help but shrugged, and then shook his head slightly with an irrelevant attitude: “Okay, don’t worry about those two idiots, I think we are still now. It’s better to go shopping in the town, hey, do you want to come together?”
“It can only be like this, otherwise we have no food to go to sea… But… Swordsman… The direction you chose is the opposite direction of the food market…”
Originally, he planned to follow Sauron quite agreeably, but after seeing the direction Sauron walked straight in, Nuo Qigao, who held his forehead with his hand, decisively gave up the idea of trusting the other party: “Forget it, it’s me and you. Let’s go together, otherwise it will take more time to find you…”
In the cabin of the Merry, there are only Usopp and Keya at the moment. Obviously, the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates have taken good care of this pair of childhood sweethearts who are not quite lovers, leaving space for them.
Listening to the sound of Sanji and Luffy fighting on the deck outside the ship, Usopp couldn’t help but smile, and then carefully changed Keya’s forehead to a hot towel, because Keya’s body temperature was already over. It was so low to a terrifying level that her pulse had disappeared, and the frequency of her heartbeat was almost inaudible. Only the freezing tingling that seemed to come from the depths of her bone marrow made her mind and body numb little by little. Tilt the scales for pain. The hot towel on her forehead, at most, only brought a little temperature to her brain.
“Relax, Keya. The doctors in the East China Sea are too bad. You also heard Luffy’s decision. We will go to the Great Route. There must be a doctor there who can cure you.”
Keeping her movements as gentle as possible, Usopp obviously had no complaints about taking care of Keya, and the pale Keya lying on the bed forced a smile from the corners of her mouth. She took care of Usopp. And the non-abandonment of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates is also full of gratitude and relief, and perhaps an indelible shame.
