It's hard not to consider whether Luffy was actually dead at that time, and it was actually Nika who was resurrected in Luffy's body, but Nika had all of Luffy's memories.
Of course, there is also a saying that Luffy's current optimistic personality is somewhat the result of being influenced by the Nika Fruit since childhood. After all, it is a subtle change.
There's even a video saying it.
Luffy was wise but appeared foolish at the beginning, and was always clear-headed at critical moments.
But the more Luffy developed the rubber fruit, the more mentally retarded he became. This indirectly proves that the Nika fruit has gradually affected Luffy and is even slowly taking over his body.
prove?
The proof is the jailer beast inside the Impel Down Castle. He has a runny nose every day and looks no different from a mentally retarded person.
And Luffy has such a development trend.
"Luffy, are you sure you ate the rubber fruit?" Cheng Lang asked curiously.
Luffy nodded: "Yes, Shanks once said that I ate the rubber fruit."
"Sanji, is there a Gum-Gum Fruit in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia you're looking at?"
Sanji shook his head: "No, but this is normal. There are too many fruit abilities in the world that are not recorded. For example, Mi's Chimera Fruit is not recorded."
After taking a puff of his cigarette, he continued, "Besides, I was very young when I read it, so maybe I didn't get the complete version."
"Do you suspect that Luffy didn't eat the rubber fruit?" Nami was curious.
Cheng Lang nodded, then spread his hands: "After all, as mentioned before, Alrita and Mi can both use it, so why can't a parahuman-type rubber fruit? So I'm curious if the recorded name is wrong. What's so special about this fruit? Of course, it's also possible that Luffy has developed it well and is almost on the verge of awakening."
Everyone looked at Luffy.
"What's wrong?" Luffy tilted his head.
"It's okay to praise you."
Luffy bared his teeth and laughed: "So I'm so powerful."
Seeing the other party's silly look, everyone's expressions became strange. It was impossible to tell how powerful the development was.
Everyone skipped the topic.
"Since the magnetic force is full, we are ready to set off. However, Ms. Sunday said that it will take a year to fill the records for the next island. Is that really a problem?" Nami looked at Vivi worriedly.
At this moment, Weiwei had a complicated expression and didn't say anything.
After all, she was not stupid and knew very well what Ikalem was expressing silently.
The others also remained silent.
Cheng Lang was indifferent to this and said, "Actually, I can speed up the storage speed of the record pointer."
"?"
"It should have taken three days to record, but now it's only been two days? It shouldn't be surprising that I did all this."
"what?"
Cheng Lang briefly stated his guess.
Everyone nodded. Although some people didn't understand at all, it didn't stop them from pretending that they understood.
"Then couldn't you just demagnetize an island on the Grand Line?"
"Theoretically it's possible."
Finally, we set sail.
On the shore, countless bounty hunters smiled and waved.
Cheng Lang not only left them a shelter, but the shelter was divided into three floors. It was not only for future Tibetans, but also equipped with various other facilities.
For example, farmland, tree factories, and some MC-ized plant vines, such as pumpkin, watermelon, and cantaloupe, which can produce unlimited fruit.
It can be said that if the food is distributed well, the three hundred or so people will not starve.
"What nice people they are! It's hard to imagine they are actually pirates." Mr. 9 looked at the sailing Merry with a lost look in his eyes.
There is reluctance, but also blessings.
"What's wrong? Are you upset about not being able to catch up with Princess Vivi?" Ikalem's partner, Ms. Monday, a muscular, dark-skinned big sister, smiled and patted Mr. 9's shoulder.
Ms. 9 laughed dryly and scratched her head. "Hahaha, a little bit. After all, she's Princess Weiwei. We've been partners for so long, I didn't expect that."
Chapter 75 Golden Apple
small garden.
Although the name contains the word "small", it is not small.
In the original book, it seems that the two sea kings occupy half of the island respectively.
But when he actually saw it, Cheng Lang sighed that it was much larger than the island where the whiskey town was located, at least three times the size.
At first glance, there are two huge white mountains above.
And Cheng Lang knew what it was, fish bones.
It's hard to imagine how big these two sea kings would be if they were alive. And the most important thing is how strong the two giants who captured them must be.
In the original work, it was ridiculous to be trapped by Mr. 3's Wax-Wax Fruit.
After all, that kind of power, the Wax-Wax Fruit that's as strong as steel, shouldn't necessarily be able to trap Brogie, the former captain of the Giant Pirates, even after the battle.
I don't know if I can meet him again.
Cheng Lang pondered.
The group arrived at a small garden and walked along the stream.
Usopp trembled as he looked at the giant beasts on the shore, the shortest of which was three or four meters long.
"Why don't we just stay outside the island? It feels so dangerous here."
Nami nodded involuntarily: "I think it's okay."
Weiwei looked at these strange creatures curiously.
Having lived in the palace since she was a child, she had wanted to go out very early. Although she gained freedom when she came to the Baroque Studio, she was mostly assigned tasks, so she had very little free time.
And now...she has gained a brief moment of freedom.
"I think I've seen that in a book. It's called a saber-toothed tiger. Hey! Look over there, it's a dinosaur! This is an ancient island." Weiwei pointed excitedly at the long-necked dinosaur eating leaves.
"Dinosaur!!!" Usopp said with his eyes wide open in horror, "I suddenly got a disease that prevents me from going to the island."
Nami nodded involuntarily: "I feel like I have the same disease."
And Mi spread his wings and flew up.
She flew in the sky curiously and looked at the magical island.
"I saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex, hey! He is fighting with a Triceratops! Um, can I go and see it?" Mi chattered excitedly in the sky.
"I want to go too!" Luffy stretched out his hands and grabbed Mi's feet, and the two of them prepared to fly away.
"Wait a minute, Mi." Luffy shouted down: "Hey~ Sanji, my lunch box!"
Sanji, who had just walked out of the kitchen, threw the prepared lunch box into the sky.
Then Sanji gave one to each of them.
When it was Nami and Usopp's turn, they shook their heads frantically: "We won't go."
"There are still plenty in the kitchen. If you're hungry, just help yourself."
"Eh? Sanji, are you leaving?" Usopp asked in confusion.
"The seasoning is almost gone. I'm going to go to the island to have a look. After all, I want to try some dinosaur cuisine." Sanji looked at Mi and Luffy who had already flown away: "Damn it, that kid actually grabbed the cute Mi openly."
Zoro yawned and said, "Hmm? Have we reached the island yet? It's a rare opportunity to go for a walk."
Zoro stood up and prepared to leave.
I just happened to see Sanji getting ready to leave.
The two looked at each other and said, "Are you leaving too? It's just right, you can catch a dinosaur and make some dinosaur food tonight."
Zoro readily agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch someone bigger than you."
Sanji's forehead vein bulged: "What did you say?"
"It's hard to understand, you idiot chef, for catching a dinosaur bigger than you."
"You green algae-head! Very good! Then let's have a competition to see who catches the biggest prey!"
"Compete!"
The two prepared for the hunting competition just like in the original book.
The ones left on the ship were Cheng Lang, Usopp, Nami, Vivi, and Alrita.
Five people.
Cheng Lang put the food into his backpack.
"I'm going to go take a look at the crater first, and go mining at the same time."
"Can I go with you?" Weiwei asked curiously.
Cheng Lang looked at Weiwei and thought for a moment: "Are you sure? My route is pretty boring."
"Why don't you come with me? I want to hunt some dinosaurs as well."
Sanji immediately welcomed her after hearing this: "Miss Alrita, are you going to participate in the competition too? Then it must be bigger than the one with the algae head~"
"Hmph." Zoro rolled his eyes: "Sooner or later, he will die at the hands of a woman."
With a cold snort, Zoro left.
Vivi thought about it and finally rode Kalu to follow Alrita.
all of a sudden.
Nami and Usopp were the only ones left on the ship.
