OPI Chapter 214: Strategic Shifts and Devil Fruits
🕑 Added 2024-07-31 06:05:39 +0000 UTCAs time goes by, the actions of the World Government are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Demon Slayer World.
Kuzan has arrived on the African continent with an army of 200,000 men under his command.
Because China and India are the most overpopulated countries in the Demon Slayer World, the World Government decided to recruit the millions of workers needed from both countries.
So once Kuzan took control of the new base in the Demon Slayer World, he began to suppress the rebellions that began to occur in both countries.
At the same time, Kuzan is also in charge of overseeing the transfer of the huge number of workers from both countries to the base on the African continent. Most of them will be sent to the Titan World through the medium-sized Dimensional Gate, while the remaining amount is sent to the Kabane World to compensate for the lack of population in that world.
On the other hand, seeing the situation of China and India, the other countries of the Demon Slayer World began to work hard to provide the workers required by the World Government for the construction of the base on the African continent.
Furthermore, the World Government began to send a large number of officials to the Titan World and Demon Slayer World. Those who were sent to the Titan World were to quickly take charge of the areas where the CP eliminated the authorities before turning said areas into large industrial areas. On the other hand, the officials sent to the Demon Slayer World were to work with the various countries to quickly develop the industrial capacity of said world, since the Demon Slayer World would play the role of supporting the World Government's military industries on the front lines.
...
Starfish World.
More and more people in various countries began to notice the value and risk of the other world to their own side. The scene of the Rumbling pouring into the Red Earth Continent was recorded and is now public material that can be accessed by many of the leaders and advisors of the various countries of the Starfish World. The recorded scenes scared many people when they saw them.
The current situation in the Titan World and the Demon Slayer World also makes the inhabitants of the Starfish World think about the fearful consequences of a possible defeat.
This led some to believe that the World Government should stop the opening of any more Dimensional Gates, considering that the current three worlds already offer enough resources to enjoy for countless years.
However, others believe that the World Government will not stop its expansion. Instead, the World Government's ability should be strengthened as much as possible. As long as they continue to win, the Starfish World will not be enslaved, and their families will not suffer.
As information continues to spread, more and more of the powerful people in the Starfish World are looking for ways to join the World Government.
...
Impel Down, a specially designed camera.
Kurozumi Orochi was tied to an iron chair with seastone shackles on his hands and feet, displaying an extremely terrified expression.
At this moment, around Kurozumi Orochi there is a layer of various fruits arranged on the ground.
"It's time, you can start, Lord Redfield." Laskey reminded him.
Redfield nodded wordlessly and stepped forward, emitting a faint golden glow.
Redfield is the user of the Luck-Luck Fruit which allows him to absorb the luck of others. He can store this luck or use it to increase his own.
Redfield has already absorbed enough luck from the selected prisoners.
Under everyone's expectant gaze and Kurozumi Orochi's pleading, Redfield snapped his fingers, releasing an invisible blast of air.
A sharp sound of air breaking rang out and a terrifying hole of blood appeared on Kurozumi Orochi's forehead.
Redfield and the others' attention immediately focused on the fruits.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Laskey fixed his gaze on a red apple that was changing.
Shortly after, the apple turned purple, taking on the characteristics and shape of a pineapple, with swirls in the scales.
Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi!
"It actually works."
Columbus and Magellan watch the scene in amazement.
Redfield initially had his doubts about the task he had been assigned.
According to the mission requirements, he was to use his Luck-Luck Fruit's power to the fullest while forcefully imagining the Yamata no Orochi fruit appearing among the fruits on the ground.
At the same time, Orochi was killed by him. In this way, there is a certain probability that the Devil Fruit will reappear among the fruits.
He didn't expect it to be successful!
Does that mean he could become a 'devil fruit hunter'?
This made Redfield fall into deep thought.
The reason he accepted the Lucky Fruit was mainly because of its rule-level ability, and he didn't think it had this kind of application.
"Then, I will be responsible for escorting this devil fruit."
At this moment, Laskey walked to the front of the Devil Fruit and put it into a box, then turned around and left the room.
Redfield turned his head and smiled at Columbus. "I'd like to try again, can you bring that Kurozumi Kanjuro?"
He wants to know if his ability is just a probability or a certainty.
Columbus thought for a while. "There was no order in this regard before, so I need to ask the Five Elders for instructions. If you don't mind waiting, I will contact them now."
"Go ahead." Redfield didn't care. He was thinking about his subsequent tasks.
The mission requirements stated that as long as it was confirmed that his ability had an effect on the devil fruit, he would proceed to the second stage of the long-term mission.
Travel to the North Blue to find the Op-Op Fruit.
As long as he can find it and successfully deliver it, he will not only be granted the identity of CP-0 but will also have the power to freely pass through all Dimensional Gates.
In the future, as long as there is no major mission, he can go wherever he wants.
This is an excellent reward for someone like Redfield, who enjoys traveling alone and exploring different places, and is very satisfied with it.
...
World of the Titans, Noah's Ark.
Imu is examining the Yamata no Orochi fruit.
But now, an important question arises.
Who should Imu give it to?
After thinking about it, he decided to give it to a Giant God Warrior.
...
Noah's Ark, the Empty Hall.
Seven giants dressed in golden armor adorned with red markings, line up in a row half-kneeling on a red carpet.
In front of them was a reddish-golden throne in the shape of a needle, and on the throne, Imu looked at them with his cold eyes.
Four peculiar-looking Devil Fruits slowly spin in the air around Imu.
"Greetings, Lord Imu!"
All the giants shouted in unison while bowing their heads.
"I'm going to give these four devil fruits to four of you, and I also want to tell you that all Giant God Warriors will have devil fruit abilities in the future, because the power of giants alone is still too weak." Imu said coldly.
"First, Surtur."
"Here!"
When Imu mentioned his name, Surtur quickly stood up.
Then, an orange Devil Fruit, composed of many flame-shaped components, flew towards Surtur.
"Surtur, this is the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit, which can turn the ability user's body into flames or create flames." Stussy informed Surtur, then continued: "In a moment, someone will send the development information of the Flame-Flame Fruit ability users of all generations to your residence."
Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Imu to take out a Logia type fruit.
"Eat it." Imu looked at Surtur calmly and gave an order.
"Yes." Surtur sighed in his mind, resigning himself to his fate. He stretched out his hand and then tossed the fruit into his mouth.
"Huh?"
After a few seconds, flames began to emerge from Surtur's body.
"Control your skill and retreat."
Imu's voice came again, and Surtur did not dare to continue to experience the feeling of elementalization. He gathered all the flames and half-knelt again.
"Utgard."
"Here!"
A completely white Devil Fruit, with symmetrical spiral patterns on its surface, floated towards him.
"Utgard, this is the Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit. It allows the user to turn into snow or generate snowstorms. The details of previous users will be sent to your residence later." Stussy offered the explanation once again.
Soon, as Utgard swallowed the Snow-Snow No Mi, his body quickly turned into snow, and gusts of cold wind blew away the heat created earlier by Surtur. He then stopped his ability without waiting for Imu's command and knelt on one knee again.
"Brogy."
When Imu called out his name Brogy suddenly became sad, but he could only stand up and accept reality.
"Here!"
The next moment, Brogy looked at the violet Devil Fruit that arrived in front of him and looked at Stussy, asking for information.
His optimistic and kind nature allows him to quickly accept the idea of becoming a Devil Fruit user, even with a little enthusiasm.
"This is the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi. Its basic ability allows the user to transform into a snake with eight heads, each of which has the power to revive the user once."
"As for other abilities, there are only two record users so far, so I can briefly talk about that."
"The previous user, Kurozumi Orochi, did not develop any valuable abilities. As for the user before him, he only developed the ability to shoot water jets, so you will need to train and experiment more on your own."
After hearing this, Brogy was satisfied with the extra seven lives, but also a little melancholy about the extra seven snake heads. As for other abilities, he didn't care much now.
Once he knelt again, Imu mentioned the last name.
"Oimo!"
"It's me. Here!"
Oimo stood up happily. He should be the only giant who wants the power of a devil fruit.
Since he and Kashi are the weakest among the Giant God Warriors and due to talent limitations, they cannot surpass the stronger giants, so they are eager to gain additional power.
"Oimo, this is the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit, a very rare space-type skill. The base skill allows you to create and open doors on any object. If a door is opened in the air, it connects to an alternate space exclusive to Door-Door Fruit."
