Chapter 130 Devil Fruits "Wholesale" - The Unexpected Shadow Fruit
Brian examined the two Paramecia-type Devil Fruits with satisfaction.
Although none of them are top-tier abilities capable of changing the course of a battle, their unique uses make them all very valuable.
The Hypnosis Fruit, in particular, is an ability that has never appeared in the original work. If used properly, it could be a powerful weapon.
Otherwise, Brian wouldn't have valued it so much.
"Resources, the more the better." Brian smiled. "The strongest fruit can certainly create top-tier powerhouses, but the most suitable fruit is what makes the entire legion invincible."
With these two fruits as a foundation, Brian was even more excited about the next eight fruits.
He knew this was just the beginning; the next eight fruits would surely contain a true weapon of mass destruction.
Brian then picked up a grayish-white fruit.
The fruit's surface has patterns resembling bird feathers, exuding an aura of the sky.
"This is----"
The familiar design immediately caught Brian's eye; he had encountered this type of fruit many times before.
"As expected, it's a Zoan-type. Not bad."
By flipping through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia and comparing the illustrations, the information about the fruits quickly came up.
As expected, it was the ability Brian wanted: a Zoan-type.
Although it's a common type, it's still quite good, and this time it's an air force type Devil Fruit ability.
The encyclopedia clearly states: Animal type, common species, bird-bird fruit, Happy form.
It can transform the consumer into a large seabird, somewhat similar to an albatross, but not entirely.
Their abilities are also very similar. Albatrosses are the most endurance-boosting birds of the ocean, possessing extremely strong endurance, far exceeding the range of ordinary people, and a wide field of vision.
Eating the Happy Fruit can achieve a similar effect.
Brian raised an eyebrow slightly, and a satisfied smile returned to his face.
"That's right, this is exactly what I wanted. Even the ordinary variety is far better than the previous two fruits for me."
"And it's the Bird-Bird Fruit, this is the first one, it seems that we will be able to form another Bird Squad soon."
How could Brian not be happy that another monster girl with the strength of a major general is about to appear under his command?
After a while, he set the fruit aside and decided to deal with it separately after all the follow-up checks were completed.
Brian reached out again, this time targeting a fruit shaped like a huge rock and entirely grayish-brown in color.
The fruit has an extremely hard surface, exuding a heavy feeling of earth and stone.
wow~
wow~
Browsing through the illustrations, the corresponding images quickly appeared.
Paramecia-type Devil Fruit: Harden Fruit. This is the information about this fruit.
It can instantly harden the skin and muscles of the consumer, giving the hardened body extremely strong toughness, impact resistance, and cut resistance.
Its hardening effect is comparable to the regular strengthening of the body by Armament Haki. Although it is only the most basic version of Armament Haki, it is already quite remarkable.
This ability allows the user to become an unyielding figure on the battlefield without excessive weight gain.
Brian's eyes sharpened, and his mood became extremely excited.
"The Hardening Fruit—" he exclaimed, "pure defensive enhancement! This fruit looks somewhat similar to the Drill-Drill Fruit that appeared in the original work, only its hardness isn't as great."
"With Armament Haki, this Devil Fruit user will become a true insurmountable barrier. Not bad, we've struck gold."
"This ability can definitely fetch a high price for those experts who specialize in physical skills. We can take advantage of Whitebeard and his ilk later; they're all very wealthy."
Brian expressed his anticipation once again, imagining the scene of him making a deal with Whitebeard and the others.
"In the blink of an eye, we have five fruits. They all performed quite well."
"To be honest, the Devil Fruits that can be obtained from Fishman Island are of a pretty good quality."
"Let's move on to the next one. We're halfway through. Hopefully, the second half will bring an even bigger surprise."
The surprise Brian wanted was, of course, an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit or even higher.
Brian then picked up a fruit with a dark purple peel and a surface pattern resembling twisted shadows.
The fruit seemed to devour the surrounding light, exuding a deep and dangerous aura.
It has no roar, no heat, only extreme silence and an invisible threat, like the most ruthless predator in the deep sea.
Brian held the fruit up to his eyes, carefully examining the shadowy patterns that seemed to be constantly wriggling yet remained still.
He released his Observation Haki and placed it on the fruit, but he inexplicably felt a slight resistance, as if the fruit itself was an information black hole.
This discovery surprised and delighted Brian.
Such a reaction proves the extraordinary nature of this fruit.
wow~
Needless to say, start the encyclopedia and quickly flip through it.
Soon, the information came out, and the result turned Brian's surprise into reality.
"Although it's not a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, I didn't expect it to be this one."
Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit!
The information about this familiar yet unfamiliar fruit came into view just like that.
I say I'm familiar with this character because the Devil Fruit user has a significant role in the original work—Gecko Moria, after all. There are very few people who haven't read the original work who don't recognize him.
The reason it's unfamiliar is that Brian has never seen the true form of this fruit. After all, when this fruit appeared in the original work, it had already been eaten by Moria for a long time, and he could only see Moria using the power.
According to Moria's usage in the original work, the main ability of this fruit is to manipulate shadows. He can seize and place shadows he obtains, and he can even transform himself into the shadow body to exert extremely strong abilities.
But Brian looked at the description in his hand with some surprise, somewhat bewildered.
The one recorded in the encyclopedia seems quite different from the one Moria uses.
The encyclopedia describes the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's ability as domination, not manipulation.
Users with this ability can transform the shadow area of their surroundings into a domain under their absolute control.
It is also possible to transform the non-material "shadow" into a physical substance with hardness and kinetic energy, making it a top-tier means of offense and defense.
After awakening, the fruit's power reaches its peak, allowing it to establish a soul connection with shadows, directly eliminating the zombies' weaknesses of being afraid of light and salt.
From this perspective, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is in no way inferior to other Devil Fruit abilities.
Even if it can't be ranked at the very top, it can still be considered a high-level version of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
"Should we say it varies from person to person? Moria's development direction seems correct, but in reality, it has deviated significantly."
.
"In the original work, Moria did indeed become lax, and he basically didn't train in the later stages, which was a real waste of such a wonderful Devil Fruit."
Helpless, after thinking for a long time, Brian could only come up with this inexplicable explanation.
