I Don't Own anything.
'thought'
"Speech"
"Tvs, Radios, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."
There is a shrill squeak as my body disappears, seemingly teleporting a short five feet away to the left as I re appear and disappear again.
Argo lets out a low whistle. "Damn. That's some speed right there. What even is that?"
"Assassination martial art." I shrug simply.
"Pretty cool... do you think you could teach me that?" She asks.
"You just need to kick off the ground several times as you move. I can only barely manage a superhuman sprint in my 'base' form. The increased musculature of my 'Angel state' seems to give me enough strength to do it as normal though."
I let out a quiet sigh as I hear the door in the distance slam open, the bell ringing loudly.
I return to my natural state as I hop off the training arena and open the door that Argo is stood beside.
"ARGO!" The straw hat wearing pirate before me shouts. "THE GOING MERRY'S HURT! FIX HER!"
I let out a long sigh as I wipe an eye. "Alright. I'll see what I can do."
I look to the brown-haired woman looking over the ice cream section. "Asuna. Stay here please. I'll need your services again soon... probably...
I follow Luffy as he quickly leaves the shop.
Suddenly I'm elsewhere.
A cramped alleyway in a bustling city, the buildings are a dull grey color with red tiled roofs, this city is fairly massive all things considered, the air is humid and wet, the constant roar of rushing water almost drowns out the bustling noise of typical city life.
"Come on!" Luffy shouts as his rubbery arm grabs my wrist.
Oh fuck... I'm about to get the 'Straw Hat Crew Treatment' where I get rag dolled and dragged around by this fucker.
I dodge around a barrel with a sharp inhale, narrowly ducking under a sign as I am physically lifted above the ground, I offer apologies to the crowds of people Luffy pulls me through.
But even still I can take a few brief moments to acknowledge the beauty of this city.
It's literally just a massive fountain. With large rivers flowing alongside the streets, canals twisting throughout the city as large sealion-esque horse-like creatures with little seats on their backs ferry around people.
"Hurry!" The straw hat teen shouts.
"How'd you even find my shop in that alley in the first place?" I ask as I am pulled along by Luffy.
"I just felt it." He replies with a simple shrug.
So... people who have seen my shop gain an innate sense of where other doors are... interesting.
That's pretty useful for this bunch as they travel from island to island so often.
I allow Luffy to pull me through the city of Water Seven. Idly planning how I turn this to my favor. I've already got one pretty good idea.
But let's see how this arc plays out.
We eventually come to a large warehouse as I stretch my arms above my head, rolling my shoulder, vaguely surprised that the straw hat wearing pirate didn't tug my shoulder out of its socket.
"She's in here!" He declares as he throws open the door.
I follow in after him, my eyes quickly adjusting to the indoor light as I look over to see the straw hats sitting around looking positively depressed.
Ussop leaps up as I enter the room. "You! Tell me... please tell me you can help The Merry!"
"I'm no ship doctor, but I'll see what I can do." I shrug as my gaze trails over to the ship sat on stilts.
I quietly approach the ship and look over it as the straw hats begin talking amongst themselves.
"Robin's gone..." Chopper whispers, looking completely dejected. "She just... disappeared... under my watch."
"Robin's strong. She'll be fine." Nami frowns, glancing over her shoulder at me as I walk alongside the ship.
"I'm still worried about the masked man I saw her with... something about him just gives me a bad feeling." Sanji frowns as he crosses his arms.
"Whatever. Robin can take care of herself." Zoro shrugs.
"Holy shit. I don't think having a big crack in this wooden bit is entirely good." I lowly mutter to myself as I look under the ship.
Usopp looks over to where I am. "Argo. Tell it to us straight. Can you fix her?"
"That is a tough question... technically, yes. I could. But it'll cost a lot more than a new ship would... but, with all that gold, you can afford it." I shrug as I hop out of the ditch and approach the group of pirates, taking a seat at their table.
"The thing with items, is that after a certain point, you can't do anything but replace it. Now, normally, this sort of damage would be completely unrepairable. You'd need someone with some form of wood devil fruit or 'fixer' devil fruit just to mend the damage because ships, unlike people, don't get better and stronger after each minor injury, they just pile up to a point until they die."
"I will admit. I don't know any repairing magic. Or wood magic. But. I do have a possible avenue for us to pursue."
"What is it?" Luffy asks, a grim frown on his face.
"We simply make your ship a living creature." I announce with a small smirk.
"H-Huh?"
"Items... can eat Zoan devil fruits." I announce blandly.
"But... then Merry wouldn't be able to sail again?" Nami gasps.
"Nah, that's not true. I know a method to get around devil fruit immunities. You just have to cook them right. But even if I didn't... would you rather lose Merry and be forced to get a new ship... or gain a new crew member and be forced to get a new ship?"
"I would still whole heartedly suggest getting a new ship. One made of Adam wood if you can find it. The most durable wood in the world. The last pirate king's ship was made of this stuff, but while it's said that it can resist cannonballs and wear and tear quite easily... you'll need a good shipwright to maintain it. Hell, if you had a shipwright from the beginning, the Merry here probably wouldn't be in half as bad condition... but I don't see a ship that small surviving the new world, giving even more reason to upgrade and turn her into a crew member."
"You... want... The Going Merry to never sail again?" Usopp whispers.
"Huh? No. I'm just saying that having her as more of a backup crew member would be nice as well. Make it so she can heal her own wounds... but I'll warn you. When I turn her into a Zoan... she's not going to look good. The Keel is the spine of the ship, meaning that in her zoan transformation... her spine is more than likely going to be broken. Chopper, do you think you could help her in that state?"
"I... I'll try everything I can! I-I don't want to lose Merry!" The little reindeer declares resolutely.
"Alright. I have no fucking clue how to imbue devil fruits into items. That's our largest issue here. But. I've heard that loved ships sometimes hold spirits inside of them. If we can get that to eat a devil fruit, we'll be golden, but otherwise I'm out of ideas."
I lean forwards, gaining a serious expression. "Now, for a fairly important topic."
"…"
"What do you want your ship to transform into?" I smile as I lean back with a small smirk and a shrug, breaking the tension entirely. "I've got three options. Badger or one of two dinosaurs."
"DINOSAURS?!" Luffy gasps, eyes sparkling. "DEVIL FRUITS CAN TURN YOU INTO DINOSAURS?!"
"Zoans can. They also can turn you into mythical creatures like dragons."
"DRAGONS?!" Luffy shouts.
"Cool your jets, Luffy. The only dragon fruit I know of has been eaten by Kaido. One of the four pirate emperors. You'd need to kill the 'immortal man' who used to let himself get captured by marines just to get a place to eat and sleep in order to get his devil fruit." I point out with a bland smile. "Also. The same guy who casually throws himself off sky islands in an effort to kill himself."
"So. Which dinosaur would you like. Ankylosaurus or Ceratosaurus?"
"Uhhhh. Um um um." The straw hat boy hums.
"Ankylosaurus is an armored four-legged dinosaur which eats plants and has a club tail. Ceratosaurus is basically a miniature T-Rex with three horns.
"T-REEEEEX!" Luffy shouts.
I look at the other straw hats.
"As long as the Merry survives..." Ussop whispers.
"I don't really care which. I'm just wincing at the cost of this... you said most devil fruits cost around one million beri?"
"Drastically more so if they are identified and rare."
"Like a dinosaur Zoan?" She asks. "With its sea weakness removed?"
She lets out a quiet whimper as she clutches the sides of her head.
"As long as the Merry survives. She's done so much for us. Now it's time for us to do something for her." Sanji announces as he lights a cigarette.
"Captain wants the mini T-Rex. I guess we're getting the T-Rex." Zoro shrugs.
"It'll be nice to have another crew member!" Chopper smiles.
"Alright. One of you will need to come with me to open the door to my shop once it closes." I begin "I've got someone who can prepare the devil fruit needed."
"I'll go." Sanji announces as he stands up, slipping his hands in his pockets. "I want to see this cooking method."
"So amazing Asuna-chwaaaaan!~" Sanji fawns over the brown-haired girl as she finishes the dish she made.
Interestingly enough, it's not a parfait this time. It's a pair of beef shanks with the bone still in it. The devil fruit was turned into a form of marinade that is now lightly charred. It frankly smells delicious.
Each devil fruit seems to have its own way to be prepared...
Interesting.
I roll my eyes slightly and let out a quiet huff. "Alright. I'm placing the food in my requip space so it keeps its freshness. We should leave as soon as possible. Time passes differently here, so the hour we spent here might very well be eight or more hours back in your world, Sanji."
"Hrn." The cook hums, looking over his shoulder, a little annoyed, but he seems to relent. "Alright. Let's go."
"Alright, this is probably the last time I'll need your services so soon, Asuna. Thank you for all of your help. You can leave any time you want, I know you and Argo have been wanting to find a clearer to give that one devil fruit to."
She nods slowly. "Alright. I'll be heading out then. Stay safe Argo... San...ji?"
"If a beautiful lady such as yourself asks me to be safe I guess I am required to!" The swirly eyebrowed cook swoons.
"Alright, you. Let's go save the Merry." I cut in with an amused smile, I pick up a large box that rattles slightly, the sound of glass bottles noisily shaking together inside.
"Yeah." He nods once as he turns and opens the door, allowing me outside into the alleyway of water seven.
The sky is darker, showing that some time has indeed passed.
"Let's go." He calls out as we both begin quickly making our way through the city.
A shadow passes overhead as I hear a quiet puffing noise and a shrill squeak.
Sanji pauses, looking around slowly. "What the hell was that?"
I look around cautiously.
It seems like one of the assassins in this town is going to meet somewhere.
"Hrn. It was probably nothing." I shrug as we continue walking, eventually making it back to the warehouse where the Going Merry is stored.
As we step inside I close the door. "Hey... Sanji... you know that noise we heard?"
"Huh? I thought you said it was nothing." The cool frowns.
"Remember what we talked about on the sky island?" I ask.
"…"
"They typically kill people who know the true nature so I couldn't be all 'Hey! It's THAT thing. You know that one thing that the government likes to keep secret' when there was a very large possibility that they were still in earshot." I explain as the straw hats who were all laying around the warehouse look over.
Sanji's eyes narrow as he gnaws on the end of his cigarette. "But... why would they be here."
"I don't know." I shrug. "But I know what it was because I've heard the noise before."
"What are you talking about?" Nami asks.
"Something Serious." Sanji frowns. "Remember those martial arts we talked about on the sky island? Argo says that there is someone on the island who can do them."
She flinches back.
As I walk forwards and sit the box of potions on a nearby table.
"What's this?" The small doctor asks.
"Healing potions. They restore wounds over the course of roughly ten minutes. I thought they could help not only Merry with her recovery, but all of you as well."
I turn and slowly walk towards the ship. "Alright. Let's see if this works. We'll probably need someone to gently catch her as if she eats the fruit she'll slip out of these ropes and stilts.
"Merry!" I call out as a plate of food appears in my hand. "You... are at your current limits... you can feel it right? You are so... hurt... so broken... but you don't want to leave your friends, right? If you were listening in earlier, you will know that I have a way to allow you to keep adventuring with them. This food here has been prepared with a devil fruit. If you eat it, you'll become a living breathing creature. Capable of healing your own injuries and recovering naturally. Are you going to hurt your crew by abandoning them here and now... or are you going to keep fighting, if not for yourself, for them?"
Nothing happens for a moment...
After around five seconds a ghostly apparition appears in front of me, causing most of the straw hats to widen their eyes.
"I... can continue to travel with them if I eat this?"
"You might." I nod once. "It's your best chance."
The glowing figure takes the plate with both hands as I step back.
I'm unsure of its gender, they refer to the Merry- and ships in general- as 'she' so it's probably a girl. It sounded feminine at least.
The ghost takes a bite of the food, causing the entire ship to shudder.
Scales creep along its sides as it begins to rapidly shrink, its bulky ship body being turned into something less angular, it collapses to the floor letting out a low groaning noise.
Its fall to the floor is softened by Luffy who dives underneath it and inflates by gulping down a bunch of air.
He gently sits the large carnivore down on the floor as it just... lays there, groaning.
Chopper rushes over with a stethoscope. "Don't worry, Merry! I'll heal you!"
"Usopp! Bring me the pain killers!" He shouts over his shoulder as he begins looking over the reptile's body.
I walk over to Nami. "I'll be taking ten of your twenty three tons in exchange."
She lets out a quiet gurgle as she almost passes out.
"WHY SO EXPENSIVE?!" She shrieks.
"It's pretty simple." I answer calmly. "The Ryu-Ryu no Mi: Model Ceratosaurus was worth roughly one billion jewel. I have given you it without any of the sea prism stone or ocean weaknesses, making it far more valuable. Then I gave you a box of thirty healing potions."
The woman pouts at me. "Jewel?"
"Oh. Sorry. Beri. Jewel is a currency from somewhere else. They're both worth the exact same so sometimes I get them mixed up. Anyways, you'll still have an average of thirteen billion! That's far more than most kings."
"Yeah... I guess you're right." She eventually sighs.
"…"
"Could... I buy that fruit Eneru had?" The girl whispers.
"On average it's worth about three and a half times the Zoan I just sold you." I smile brightly.
"I TAKE IT BACK!" She gasps, sounding absolutely horrified.
"Tell you what, Nami... if you can convince chopper to give me the recipe for his 'Rumble Ball' drug I'll knock off one ton and settle for nine."
"Why do you even want that?" She asks.
"I mean, I have zoan devil fruits to sell... I ate a Zoan devil fruit. Being able to sell a drug that gives Zoan fruits more forms just seems like good optics." I admit.
"You ate a Zoan devil fruit?!" The girl mutters in surprise.
"Yes. And speaking of which. Zoro. Sanji. Luffy. Considering the world government assassins in this town which you will more than likely be forced to face sometime soon I'll show you something interesting."
I grow a couple of inches as my hair turns a stark white, a halo appearing atop my head and a pair of wings appearing on my back. "Observe."
I tense my body and with a sudden kick I am shot to the side, the floor cracks slightly as I kick off it to abruptly change directions.
"This-" I begin, pausing briefly as I kick off the ground again.
"Is roughly the lower bound... of the speed... that a user of this technique can reach."
I slide to a halt a fair distance away, on the other side of the warehouse.
Zoro, Sanji and Luffy look over their shoulders after a moment of confusion.
Nami is left gawking as her eyes snap around the warehouse.
"I'm behind you... by the way."
She turns, eyes wide.
"It was quick... but I could still probably react to it."
"If you were expecting it... right?" I ask with a knowing smirk. "Keep in mind, I learned this by myself with no-one to teach me... I must assume my Zoan transformation because I literally cannot use it in my normal form. I'm not strong enough. Thus I'd imagine that someone who is ACTUALLY skilled in its usage would be far faster than me... drastically more so if they are also a Zoan devil fruit user."
"Also keep in mind, this was me merely moving past you. Someone who actually mastered that technique would use it to get close then run a finger through your throat, eye, or heart." I announce, punctuating each statement by pointing to my eye, neck, and chest. "Hell, maybe they'd just cut you in half with a kick from this distance."
"Hn." Luffy blandly hums.
"As for your little Robin issue which I couldn't help but overhear earlier, I've given it some thought, and I thought you all would like my input." I continue with a bright smile. "I heard that Robin can read poneglyphs, basically an archive of the history from the void century. The world government clearly has done some shady shit in said time frame, so they don't want it getting out. Thus. The reason why Robin disappeared is because of them. It seems like they threatened her with something, and judging by the fact that they are already here on this island already, without prior knowing that Robin is a part of your crew, they are here to accomplish some form of goal."
I tap my chin. "Water seven is primarily a ship building city, so it's possible they are here for the schematics for some sort of weapon or ship. Gol D. Rodger's ship was built here, so it's possible that it was that. But, they already arrested the man who built the ship ages ago after framing him for an attack... even after he created the puffing tom, something which they said would free him of his crimes."
"Knowing this, it's more than likely that getting Robin is an objective with higher priority than whatever their original goal is, thus they would go for that first... or they could simply decide to both objectives in a short time frame. And knowing the world government, the people who put bounties on you for saving a country from someone they hired, it's more than likely these agents are going to try and frame you for a crime you didn't commit. Something that enrages the entire island and whips them into a frenzy. Aqua Laguna is soon, right? I can never really tell with time passing differently in my shop."
"If I was a government super assassin, and if I wanted to sneakily arrest someone, I would first cause chaos that causes an entire island to hate a target, securing a scapegoat, then accomplish my goal in the ensuing chaos and leave on the sea train moments before Aqua laguna hits full force. Getting on the fastest means of transportation, with no way for anyone to follow as a tidal wave the size of a mountain bears down on the island."
"…"
"So... Break... The Train..." Luffy decides.
"They'd plan around it if you break it too soon~" I hum.
"Break the train moments before the big wave comes!" Luffy gasps.
"Anyways... be careful!" I wave as I turn and walk to the door, transforming back into my natural state. "I hope Merry makes a full recovery."
I look over my hand and slowly clench my fist.
'huh...'
A smooth and polished dark wooden ring rests on my fingers, golden sigils in a language I up until recently didn't understand surrounding the outside.
Minor Protection Ring:
A simple oaken ring that has had protection glyphs carved in it. Regretfully, the ring's total power isn't all too great as no especially rare materials were used in its creation. Just oak, a simple chisel, and magical power. The ring's effect is that it grants the finger it is worn on an invisible armor that is as durable as the material the ring is made from. The effect of this ring is magnified the more 'duplicates' of it you wear, increasing its durability and area of effect.
Estimated Value: 1,500 Jewel
A fifteen dollar ring.
I mean, I made it out of literally just wood, so I can see why it would be so cheap. There was no 'magic dust' to sprinkle upon it. No metal. No gems. I just got a branch, cut it into slices, carved a finger sized hole in it, sanded it to a nice smoothness, then cut runic letters in the outside and inserted some of my own magical power. Enough to sustain the enchantment for a little while. It's not infinite by all means, it requires 'Ring Magic' to activate and sustain, but the total magical energy cost isn't substantial in any way. In fact, even with five on my hand, I am regenerating more magic than I am losing.
The total defense that the five rings give me is... sort of decent for what I did. It was correct in saying that the 'area' of the ring would improve. The overall strength of the protection is certainly at the level of a sturdy wooden wall, it even seems to be a little above that. Stone perhaps? The area is also pretty decent, having gone from just my fingers to a little past my wrist.
The power should also improve if I put some form of valuable material in the carved spots, like copper, silver, or gold.
The more skilled at this I get, the smaller I can carve the sigils. The smaller I carve the sigils, the more I can fit on a ring.
The smaller...
I can carve... the sigils...
I silently stare at the rings for a considerable moment. "Laser cutter..."
"Huh? Did you say something sir?" Silica questions from somewhere to the side.
"Oh, sorry. I just realized that a laser cutter could engrave runes with far more precision than I ever could. Like, I could barely fit the protection spell etching on the outside of the ring, but if I had a laser cutter, I could very easily fit four lines of runes around the ring, two on the sides, and two on top. That gives me like... so many ideas, but I'd be forced to get a laser engraver, but those are probably sort of expensive... and hard to find... I'm also not too good with computers so it'll probably be a task and a half to learn how to use, then I'd need to specifically design each string of runes." I list off.
"It's honestly not such a bad idea, but it requires effort." I sigh as I remove the rings and place them on the countertop.
I wonder how the straw hats are doing right now?
Pov: Elsewhere.
A figure crashes through a window, arms crossed and body balled up slightly, he lands roughly on the floor, rising to his full height, eyes narrowed in fury.
Around the room, are several people, Iceberg, the mayor of Water Seven lays crumpled on the floor, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, standing before him is a woman with black hair in a green cloak, a flintlock pistol in hand.
Behind her is another man on the ground, the blond shipwright with orange cracked goggles, blood drips down his face as he twitches on the floor, trying to build up enough strength to move.
Four figures loom in the background, each in elaborate looking Mardi-gras-esque costumes to hide their identities, the first, a man with a bull's head, the next a skeleton with a fez, the third, a towering figure with a bear mask, and finally, the last a lathe and feminine form in a winged hat with a pale yellow mask that is locked in a 'kissy face'. Cloaks cover their bodies, hiding their skin tones, and complete body shapes.
"Straw... hat?" The shipwright on the floor gasps.
"Give Robin back." The pirate quietly growls, eyes quickly snapping across the room.
"Hrn. Good. The scapegoat has arrived to take the credit for all of this." The bull-headed man announces blandly as the man in the skeleton costume lifts a leg and kicks downwards.
"Tempest Kick-"
Luffy sidesteps before the attack is even completed.
*CRASH*
A massive vertical gash appears in the wall, shattering all the windows behind Luffy, causing them all to look about as badly as the one he dove through, a moment later the wall is blown outwards, sending rubble cascading down to the yard below.
"Give Robin..."
The bear man appears in front of him.
"BACK!" He snarls as he punches forwards into the disguised figure's gut.
A gasp passes through the towering man's lips as he is slid back across the room, his shoes lightly ripping the carpeted floor.
He looks down, then looks back up towards the straw hat wearing pirate, eventually a low rumbling voice echoing out. "Hrn. That stung a little."
"That voice..." The purple haired man covered in bandages whispers. "No... it couldn't be!"
Luffy points at the bear mask wearing man. "You'll have to try harder than that, Pidgeon guy!"
"…"
He then points to the clearly feminine form. "And you too, long nose!"
"L-Long nose?!" The woman whispers, sounding genuinely hurt.
The skeleton slowly takes off his large costume head revealing a man with brownish orange hair a black cap, as his blue cloak falls off his shoulders it reveals a black suit, he has a long rectangular nose that almost is as long as Usopp's. "I don't know if I should be surprised or disappointed."
"N-No..." Mayor iceberg whispers.
"Five years... and the one to figure it out is a simpleton who can't tell male from female." The bull headed one scoffs as he tosses his disguise aside revealing a man with long, wavy black hair and a small goatee on his chin. "I can't even begin to grasp how he figured it out."
A pigeon lets out a quiet 'coo' as it flutters down from the sky, clutched in its talons is a top hat that matches the black-haired man's suit.
He puts it on as the pigeon lands on his shoulder, the remaining two figures ditching their costumes as well, the first a woman in a black long-sleeved dress and fishnet stockings. She has long blonde hair and pulls a pair of glasses out of her cleavage and slips them on.
The final member is a towering eight-foot-tall man, with hair stylized like two bull horns, and a clean well-kept black beard on his face, he wears a black suit much like the other two men.
"Blueno... Lucci... Kaku... Kalifa? Why?" The purple haired mayor of water seven whispers.
"Hn. That is a story for after our uninvited guest is taken care of." The black haired man announces.
He disappears, reappearing next to the straw hat teen, causing said pirate to mentally pause.
Argo was right, each of them were faster than he was, but... he never thought that it would be this much of a gap.
His foot makes contact with the side of Luffy's head, causing it to shoot off like a bullet, his neck stretching to ridiculous lengths.
"Huh?" The government assassin questions, sounding slightly bemused as Luffy tilts his body in his dirrection.
"Gum Gum... BELL!" His head shoots back at high speed, right towards 'Lucci's torso, but the attack never lands.
The man simply twists his way out of the way of the attack, his body contorting in an almost sickening way to avoid the attack. He flips once and lands about five feet away from Luffy as he lifts his hands to fight back.
"A devil fruit user." The man observes quietly as he takes a step forwards, knuckles blackening as Luffy's head rebounds back into its original place, the rubber man punching forwards with his own attack that is easily avoided.
A single punch to the torso causes Luffy's eyes to bug out, a dull crack echoing throughout the room as spit flies from his mouth, his body is shot away from the Cypher Pol agent and into the far brick wall which he crashes through.
Luffy writhes in the other room, bringing a hand to his chest as he lets out a gasping cough that sends flecks of blood across the floor.
His ribs... they're made of rubber! They shouldn't have- they can't break, right? Not from a punch! That's ridiculous! It's almost like...
Almost like...
When his grandpa hit him with his 'fist of love'...
But even Grandpa Garp's attacks didn't hurt this bad.
Why?
Why does it hurt so bad?
Well Well Well... Lucci? With Haki?
I mean, it sort of makes sense. You are telling me the government's number one assassin group doesn't have Haki? Or at least the more impressive ones? That's bullshit. They totally would have.
Also the Merry's alive? That's cool.
Guest Reviews:
A name: The fruit will reincarnate into the nearest fruit in-universe. So if he swaps out a fruit in the shop, it'll transfer to another fruit in the shop. But if he doesn't have any of said fruit, the 'spirit' of the devil fruit will then reincarnate in the nearest applicable fruit in the next world the shop opens to. As for the D in his name, I sort of implied that Argo picked that name for himself.
Reader 451: it's BASICALLY a were-form. It's not like he can spread 'Angel Disease' by walking over to someone and biting them.
Guest 001: The thing with the 'Pressure Pressure(point)' fruit is that while, yes, you would probably be able to eventually memorize everything on the human body, the devil fruit itself grants power to some of the pressure points. No biological pressure points increase strength, healing, or paralyze. That's mainly the fruit itself doing the heavy lifting.
Guest 002: It's GOT to be a Kuda-Gitsune. And it's his 'hybrid' form which is a combo of both, his fully transformed state is literally just an angel.
Guest 003: some shinannigans may happen to the people who get out of the game and also ate a fruit.
: Good luck forcing the fickle little shit known as Argo to do anything.
JustAFan123: I already have an idea for who exactly it'll be. And let's just say... she suits Argo perfectly.
Chrisleech: 'Basic' products. Devil Fruits aren't really 'basic' but maybe. It depends on my future mood. I might give him a sales milestone that lets him re-purchase expensive items.
DTM321: Probably Mercury, then as for the others I'm unsure. We'll just have to see what he finds.
None: Technically speaking, if an ANGEL ate the Seraph-Seraph fruit, they'd still be able to fall (In their original form), they'd just be able to turn back into a 'pure' angel by entering their full transformation. Hell, their hybrid form would even have a badass and edgy half black, half white wing setup.
Tula Oh: She's not going to be from Dxd, that's for sure. I don't even think they HAVE Kuda Gitsune.
Anyways, I'll see you all later.
