Chapter 977: Shiki's Frustration!
In fact, for the current World Government, the importance of the Dark-Dark Fruit has greatly decreased.
This is because its greatest value before was its ability to retain the 'Devil Fruit' that left the body after an ability user died. Now, Redfield's Luck-Luck Fruit can achieve similar results.
Of course, just because there's an alternative doesn't mean the Dark-Dark Fruit can be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.
In terms of combat, the Dark-Dark Fruit's power lies in its ability to temporarily seal an ability user's abilities and the essence of its power.
The former has become somewhat awkward due to the mass production of Seastone Bullets.
Although the effect of Seastone is to make people powerless, not completely unable to use their abilities, it doesn't require close-range contact, making it generally much more convenient.
There's also a big question: does the Dark-Dark Fruit's effect of making people lose their own abilities only work on Devil Fruit Users, or is it also effective against supernatural abilities from other worlds?
If it's the former, it becomes even more useless.
After all, there will definitely be more and more otherworld powers in the future. But if it's the latter, its value will increase several times over!
After all, the ability of Seastone to render people powerless has now been proven to only be effective against Devil Fruit Users.
Other than that, its toughness is considered an advantage, and it still has value for making shackles.
Therefore, Impel Down is currently thinking about ways to strengthen the means of restraining otherworld experts.
Although Moria's Shadow Cutting, Tarklama's Pet Ring, coupled with Nakime's Blood Demon Art ability to freely adjust the space layout, and Magellan's Poison-Poison Fruit suppression are actually sufficient for now.
However, Magellan, the Vice Warden, stated that the multiverse must contain many incredibly bizarre abilities, and Impel Down is the world's largest prison.
They should be prepared for danger in times of peace, constantly thinking of ways to upgrade various facilities and restraint methods, ensuring that every otherworlder who enters will never want to leave, enjoying the environment and service of every level of 'Hell'.
Warden Columbus expressed support and praise.
Because he knew that some criminals from the Ninja World would be sent over in a few days.
Regarding the various information on Ninjutsu.
He had already read quite a bit and clearly understood how magical and complex these means were.
Subsequently, after a round of internal discussion, a report was written and sent to Jaygarcia Saturn Saint, one of the Five Elders, because he is the 'Criminal Justice Wushen'.
The general meaning was that they hoped to introduce talent and Ninjutsu suitable for criminal justice from the Ninja World.
For example, Sealing Jutsu and Barrier Ninjutsu!
This would make Kakuzu, Hundred Legs, the Jashin Cult Fanatic, and the Ninjas of the Chinoike Clan captured by Empress Esdeath feel right at home.
However, Warden Columbus also mentioned that the Chinoike Clan is very suitable to be prison guards.
Because on the fourth level of Impel Down, the 'Blazing Hell', there is a large iron pot filled with boiling blood, which they can conveniently use to control.
Not to mention, which prisoner here doesn't have some wounds on their body?
The Chinoike Clan's Ketsuryugan would definitely be like a fish in water here!
Regarding this report.
Im had naturally read it and thought it was a good idea.
However, he added an opinion, which was to find a Ninjutsu called 'Fire Release: Heavenly Prison Jutsu'.
This Jutsu can not only restrict the human body from condensing Chakra but also automatically ignite flames to burn a person alive if the prisoner leaves a certain distance.
The former's effect is somewhat limited, but the latter's universality is very high, as not many people can withstand spontaneous combustion.
"Stussy, go check if there is a young man named Rob Lucci on Kona Island. If there is, send this Dark-Dark Fruit over."
Im thought for a moment and decided to use it to cultivate the next generation of combat power.
As for why it's Lucci, it's mainly because of his loyalty to the Celestial Dragons, and as a transmigrator, he is also aware of his potential.
Of course, Im also knew that a Zoan Fruit might be more suitable for Lucci.
However, while he was pondering in his heart just now, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind: Rob Lucci, covered in black mist, striking the 'Six King Gun' pose, waiting in place for the target to be pulled over by gravity.
To be honest, it was so cool!
Also, Im remembered that Rob Lucci adheres to 'Dark Justice', which just happens to match the Dark-Dark Fruit.
In short, he really wanted to give it to Lucci, so he did it.
Meanwhile, Stussy had finished communicating with the CP2 officer.
"Lord Imu, there is indeed an eleven-year-old young man named Rob Lucci on Kona Island, and his martial arts talent far surpasses that of other children!"
Stussy looked at Im sitting on the sofa and reported softly: "The most difficult Stone Breathing, he initially mastered it in just one month, and reached the level of 'Total Concentration: Constant' in two months. He is currently learning 'Baji Quan'!"
What does this mean?
Kamado Tanjiro took two years to learn Water Breathing.
Only Muichiro Tokito, who became a 'Hashira' of the Demon Slayer Corps in just two months after picking up his blade, can be compared.
Because to become a 'Hashira', 'Total Concentration: Constant' is a basic condition.
Im was not surprised to hear this. Rob Lucci is indeed a super genius, and it further solidified his idea of giving him the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Although it doesn't have the comprehensive enhancement effect on physical ability that Zoan Fruits do, the conceptual rules involved with darkness, black hole, and gravity actually have a much higher upper limit than the former.
Soon, Stussy left with the white wooden box.
She needed to arrange for someone to escort it to Kona Island on the world.
Im looked at Stussy's back view and suddenly had a whimsical thought.
If I gave the Dark-Dark Fruit to that kid Luffy, would the Sun God turn into the Dark God?
Thinking of this, Im immediately called out to Stussy: "Wait, Im needs to think again!"
At the same time.
Zero Magic World.
Most of the citizens on the continent have now successfully migrated to the 'Great Albion Sky Island' under the leadership of Wales Tuda, Henrietta, and others.
The reason it's 'most'.
This is because a small portion of people were unwilling to leave their homeland and refused to board the airship.
The World Government was completely indifferent to these people.
Since they wanted to die so much, then just fulfill their wish.
Even so, the island is now overcrowded, and the bureaucratic nobility are extremely busy.
At the same time.
Now, the entire Halkeginia Continent.
Except for the zone near the 'Holy Land' where the former Elf Kingdom Capital was located, it is disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Various natural disasters are also emerging endlessly, and the monsters that cannot fly are dying in large numbers.
However, for the World Government, which needs to collect wind stone and other magic materials, this is a great thing.
They only need to arrange modified airships beneath the floating landmasses, perform preliminary processing using construction machinery, alchemy, or the local magic, and then transport them back to the Canberra Continent in the Titan World.
However, none of this held any value for Shiki.
He had been in a very bad mood recently.
He could have let Louise use Void Magic to open the 'Gate of the Holy Land' and invade the world on the other side at any time, but due to a prohibition from the Command Department, he could only stay put, sitting in the office of the aerospace carrier every day, eagerly watching the Ninja World fighting fiercely.
This made Shiki, who had always loved freedom and doing whatever he wanted, very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable, because he felt the strong restraint of rules.
Shiki often thought about disregarding the Command Department's order and forcing Louise to open the 'Space Gate', but then worried about losing his current military power, or even being locked back into the dark Impel Down, so he would grit his teeth and dismiss the thought each time.
However, he would apply for a declaration of war order from the Command Department every day, because this would give him a little hope in his heart.
Of course, how could Shiki write it himself?
Bang!
As the office door was pushed open.
Shiki, who was sitting idly on a chair, resting his chin on his palm, was originally watching the footage of the demon army fighting the army unit. Hearing the commotion, he suddenly looked up, looking at his adjutant with a hopeful expression.
"How is it, Bud?"
"Unfortunately, the reply order is still to stand by, but this time it specifies that we have to wait until the battle situation on Admiral Akainu and Admiral Aokiji's side becomes clear."
Bud, the former Imperial Air Force Admiral and current Air Force Headquarters Rear Admiral, sighed.
"Damn it!"
Shiki angrily slammed the office desk.
"Sakazuki, Kuzan, those two kids, they're really delaying my matter!"
"If it's really impossible, I'll apply to go to that so-called Ninja World and take care of those two demons!"
Speaking of which, you could say that the Dark-Dark Fruit is for Little Enma, or Lucci, or perhaps Luffy? Although I roughly have an idea in my heart, it doesn't hurt for everyone to discuss it. Perhaps if what you say makes sense, I might change it?
