Chapter 485: The Use of the Lucky Fruit!
Time: Four hours ago.
Location: A specially vacated Room on Underground Level 4 of Impel Down.
Characters: Warden Columbus, Vice-Warden Magellan, 'Red of Solitude' Redfield, 'Vampire' Lucci, and Kurozumi Orochi.
Because this Room, roughly 300 square meters, was located in Blazing Hell, the temperature was particularly hot and unbearable, and there was always a smell of burning in the Air.
However, the few people present were all extraordinary individuals, completely unbothered by this somewhat harsh Environment.
Their Gaze was all focused on Kurozumi Orochi, who was tightly bound to the Iron Chair by Seastone handcuffs and Leg Cuffs, his face covered in sweat and filled with extreme Fear.
At this moment.
On the Ground around Kurozumi Orochi, a layer of various Fruits was laid out.
"Wuwuwu—Wuwu—"
Seeing his Body struggling madly and his ugly big Head shaking, it was clear he wanted to beg loudly for mercy.
Unfortunately.
Previously, because he was making too much noise, the impatient Redfield had Magellan order someone to seal Kurozumi Orochi's mouth, so now his mouth was covered with several layers of sealing tape.
"Time is up, we can begin, Lord Redfield."
Lucci glanced at the dial on his Right Hand wrist and reminded him softly. Redfield didn't reply after hearing this, just nodded, and then began to walk forward two steps, while a faint golden Radiance emanated from his Body.
He was a Paramecia System Lucky Fruit Ability User, capable of absorbing Luck from those he touched.
This Luck could be stored or consumed to enhance his own Luck, and it would also make the person from whom it was absorbed very unlucky, even leading to sudden disasters.
Previously, Redfield had already absorbed enough Luck from the twelve Prisoners he had selected.
As for what happened to these Prisoners now, that was no longer his concern; one would have to ask Magellan and Magellan.
But who would be interested in such a Matter?
Under the expectant Gaze of everyone and the pleading Gaze of Kurozumi Orochi, Redfield did not use the Purple Umbrella Sword in his left hand, but instead flicked the fingers of his Right Hand, shooting out an invisible burst of Qi.
As the sharp Whistling Sound flashed and disappeared, a terrifying Blood Hole had appeared on Kurozumi Orochi's brow.
The Gaze of this former 'Wano Country Daimyo' began to scatter, his Vitality gradually disappeared, and the Muscle in his entire Body, originally tensed from Fear and struggle, quickly softened.
However, the focus of Redfield and the others was not on him. Pairs of sharp Gaze, like Searchlights, swept back and forth across the Fruits.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Lucci's Gaze fixed. The next second, everyone's Line of Sight collectively gathered on a red Apple that was undergoing a transformation.
Before long, among a pile of ordinary Fruits, such a peculiar Fruit appeared, resembling a Fire Dragon Fruit, its surface covered with spiral patterns, and eight green leaves hanging down from the top.
Animal System, Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi Form!
"It actually worked..."
Magellan and Magellan watched this scene in shock. When Redfield and Lucci had told them earlier that they were ordered to take Kurozumi Orochi's Devil Fruit, they had thought it was impossible.
Actually.
Redfield himself also had some doubts about the Content of this Mission.
According to the Mission requirements, he needed to fully activate his Lucky Fruit Ability while simultaneously imagining the Yamata no Orochi appearing among those Fruits with a Strong Will.
At the same time, by killing Kurozumi Orochi, there would be a certain probability of 'leaving behind' the 'Demon' that was about to fly away.
Unexpectedly, it succeeded!
Wouldn't he be able to become a 'Devil Fruit Hunter' from now on?
This made Redfield fall into deep thought.
The reason he had agreed to eat the Lucky Fruit before was actually because he valued its rule-level Ability, but he hadn't expected it to have this kind of use.
Clearly, the World Government's understanding of the Lucky Fruit was deeper and greater than his own.
"Then, I will be responsible for escorting this Devil Fruit next."
At this moment, Lucci brought a delicate Wooden Box, walked up to the 'Yamata no Orochi' Fruit, placed it in the box, and then turned around and walked out of the Room without another word.
Redfield turned his Head and smiled at Warden Columbus, saying, "This Old Man would like to try again. Can you bring that Kurozumi Kanjuro here?"
He wanted to know if this kind of Ability of his was a coincidence or some kind of inevitability.
One result is hard to say anything about, but if the second time also goes smoothly, it can basically be considered a 'lucky inevitability'.
Warden Columbus thought for a moment: "There were no instructions regarding this before, so I need to ask the Five Elders for instructions. If you don't mind waiting, This Old Man will contact them now."
"Please~"
Redfield didn't mind. He turned his Head and watched as two Prison Guards walked in and dragged away Kurozumi Orochi's Corpse, his thoughts drifting. He was contemplating his subsequent Mission.
The Mission requirements stated that as long as it was confirmed that his Ability had an influence on Devil Fruits, he would proceed to the second phase, a long-term Mission.
Namely.
Travel to the North Blue to search for the Paramecia System Op-Op Fruit, which was once given a Bounty of 5 billion Berry by the World Government.
Regarding the Reward.
As long as he could successfully find it and hand it over, he would not only be granted the Identity of 'CP-0' but also gain the Authority to freely pass through all 'Star Gates'.
From then on, as long as there were no major Missions, he could go wherever he wanted.
For Redfield, who preferred to be alone and travel to Various Places, this was simply the best possible Reward, and it indeed made him very satisfied.
Soon.
Kurozumi Kanjuro was escorted in by two Prison Guards. Just like Kurozumi Orochi before him, his hands and feet were cuffed with Seastone, and he was confined to the Iron Chair that still had some Bloodstains remaining. Furthermore, even his mouth had been sealed beforehand.
"Hmm?"
Just as Redfield was about to activate his Ability, he was surprised to find that the Luck within his Body was insufficient. He speculated in his Heart: "Could it be that the Luck of twelve people is only enough to influence one Devil Fruit?"
Immediately, he asked Warden Columbus to call for twelve more Prisoners. After he absorbed their Luck, he saw the former directly take action and kill them on the spot, then had the Prison Guards come in and clean up.
Because these Prisoners whose Luck had been drained weren't just unlucky themselves when misfortune struck.
Sometimes it would also cause damage to the surrounding Environment, such as the floor above breaking and falling down.
Rather than that, it was simpler to just kill them directly.
"Then let's begin the second Experiment, Mr. Kurozumi Kanjuro~" Redfield said with a Smile, a faint golden Radiance emanating from his Body once again.
"Wuwuwu—Wuwuwu!"
Kurozumi Kanjuro widened his Eyes in Despair, twisting his Body frantically.
He didn't want to die yet!
In the Titan World, on Noah's Ark above Paradis Island, Im was examining the 'Yamata no Orochi' Fruit floating before their Eyes. This was a good item.
Or rather, all Mythical Zoans were the most valuable Devil Fruits.
Don't look at how terrible Kurozumi Orochi's Development of it was, only relying on its most basic 'eight lives' Ability.
But if you look at the results of 'Teacher Kaido's' Development of the Azure Dragon Fruit, you'll know that this 'Yamata no Orochi' Fruit definitely still has Potential to be unearthed.
Yamata no Orochi!
According to the Devil Fruit's Typical Style of heavily relying on imagination, this thing could very likely develop the mythical phenomena of the legendary Yamata no Orochi.
But now there was a very important problem.
Who should it be given to?
After thinking about it, it should indeed be given to a 'Giant God Soldiers' ah, Im had long ago decided to give each of their 'Giant God Soldiers' a suitable Devil Fruit Ability.
Just like Saul's Zoan Mythical Beast Type Human-Human Fruit Antaeus Form.
As for the problem that these Giant Tribe members didn't like eating Devil Fruits...
Was that even a problem?
