Looking back, Ross began to think about another possibility, that is, the external shock of the Shock Fruit, maybe... the effect of the Devil Fruit's awakening
This possibility exists, but it is difficult to explain that after Blackbeard took Whitebeard's Shock Fruit, he directly had the ability to shock external forces, unless the Shock Fruit ability that Blackbeard took was directly developed to the limit by Whitebeard. Awakening state.
If this is the case.
So what I touched before, that feeling that could vaguely release the power of distortion out of the body, was it extremely rare among people with abilities... the awakening of a devil fruit? !
Except for the Jailer Beast in Impel Down City Prison who awakened from the animal system, there is only one person who has awakened from the superhuman system and is clearly mentioned in Ross's memory, and that is 'Ama Yasha' Doflamingo!
"If my fruit could awaken, it would become interesting."
Ross looked at his hands.
He has always had a vague idea, that is, the abilities activated from the talent system, such as distorted light and distorted gravity, may not be able to be exerted by the normal distortion fruit. They are all abilities that should be possessed after awakening. ability!
It's just that because of the existence of the talent system, he can use these abilities in advance in a normal state without awakening or development.
If this is the case, that means that when his fruit awakens, all his abilities will be strengthened, resulting in a huge qualitative change!
After such a qualitative change, Rhodes doesn't know whether he can reach the level of admiral, but at least he can reach the same level as Doflamingo!
"Awakening..."
Ross felt the twisted power in his body, letting it flow continuously throughout his body, but he still had no clue about this so-called awakening.
There is too little introduction to the awakening of devil fruits in the original work.
"By the way, I almost forgot about the CP9 group. They have come into contact with so much secret information in the World Government. They may have come into contact with news about the awakening of Devil Fruits."
After thinking for a while, Ross turned back to the cabin, took out the phone bug, and dialed Kaku's phone bug. The current intelligence team was temporarily headed by Kaku, although Gabra was a little dissatisfied.
The phone call was quickly answered.
Ross rarely communicated directly with Kaku. Most of the time, he asked Robin to communicate with him, but occasionally he would bypass Robin and issue orders directly.
"Kaku, have you ever come across information about Devil Fruit awakenings before?"
"Devil Fruit Awakening?"
Kaku on the other end of the phone sounded suspicious and said, "I haven't heard of it. I'll ask Gabra and the others..."
As he spoke, Kaku dialed Gabra's phone number and asked Bruno next to him. The answer he got was that he had never been exposed to the devil fruit awakening.
"I'm sorry Captain, but we can collect some information on this."
"good."
Ross nodded, not surprised by Kaku's answer. Although CP9 is a powerful intelligence agency, Kaku and others are not memory geniuses like Robin. They can never forget anything. They will not remember too much in their minds. A lot of stuff, only investigated when needed.
And now that he has lost his identity as CP9, he can no longer mobilize the power of the government's intelligence agencies and the government's database.
"By the way, I was about to report to you, the intelligence information about the supernovas and the Shichibukai... will be sent to you immediately using the video phone bug."
There was the sound of flipping through documents from Kaku's side.
Video phone bugs are special phone bugs that can project images. There are many types of phone bugs in the world, and Rhodes has been collecting all kinds of phone bugs and created a separate phone bug room.
Maintaining communication with Kaku, Rhodes came to the phone bug room, looked at the rows of phone bugs and labels on the counter, and quickly took out the video phone bug from inside.
Snap!
After the image phone bug was turned on, it immediately projected a gray patch of white on the wall and made a rustling sound. After a few seconds, it connected to the Kaku on the other side. After a flash, a clear image appeared, which was a map.
This is a map of the Grand Route, much clearer than what Rhodes has now, recording almost all the islands in the first half and a small number of islands in the second half.
On these islands, the locations of the Pirate Supernovas and the King's Shichibukai are clearly marked, including Doflamingo, Moonlight Moria and others.
certainly.
There are also many things that have not yet been collected, such as Hawkeye and Tyrant Bear, which are not marked on the map, and Pirate Supernova, three people with bounties of more than 200 million, have already entered the new world.
"They've all gone to the new world..."
Looking at the markings on this map, Ross couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Now he is the only pirate left in the first half of the game with a bounty of more than 200 million. There are two more between 100 million and 200 million, but they are all far apart. It's too far away, and there's too much uncertainty if you travel that far.
In addition to the supernova, one of the Shichibukai fell into Ross's eyes. That was the Shichibukai Moonlight Moria, which was clearly marked as settling in the Devil's Triangle.
The Devil's Triangle Sea Area is very close to the Lawless Island, and is almost connected to the Storm Sea Area, forming a triangle and a circular connecting sea area.
"Well done."
Ross saved this video, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Kaku on the other end of the phone: "The next task is to collect information about the awakening of the Devil Fruit, as well as the three fruits of the Shasha Fruit, the Metal Fruit, and the Barrier Fruit. The whereabouts of a devil fruit."
The owners of the three fruits, the Shasha Fruit and the Barrier Metal Fruit, all died in the hands of Ross. After the death of the Devil Fruit ability user, the fruit will regenerate somewhere in the sea after a period of time.
So far, the only person who can prevent this regeneration and directly seize the Devil Fruit's ability is Blackbeard Teach who ate the Dark Fruit. Ross does not have this ability.
Even though these three fruits are not as good as the Thunder Fruit, they are all remarkable and powerful abilities. They can easily create three strong combat powers. If there is a chance to seize them, Ross will naturally seize them.
"In addition, the navy should also try to pay attention to it. If there is any big movement, report it to me immediately."
"Understood."
Kaku responded, hung up the phone, and ended the call.
Rhodes put the communication phone bug into his pocket, took out the previously saved image, looked at it carefully for a moment, walked out of the cabin, came outside Robin's room, raised his hand and pressed it on the door.
Squeak!
The door latch opened from the inside and Rhodes pushed the door open.
Robin was leaning on the bed in a thin shirt, her slender white feet gently resting on the window sill. Her hair was still a little wet. It seemed that she had just finished exercising and took a shower. She didn't even look up. The book in his hand, his expression calm.
"What's the matter? Captain."
"Tell Lafitte later and ask him to sail to the Devil's Triangle. By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you..."
Ross closed the door with his backhand, walked into the room, and said, "You have seen the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book before, have you ever heard of anything about Devil Fruit Awakening?"
"Devil Fruit Awakening?"
Robin put down the book in his hand, looked at Ross, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and said: "I seem to have seen this word somewhere..."
She recalled it for a moment, shook her head at Ross, and said, "I should have only seen this word, and I haven't been exposed to anything else. I was not interested in devil fruits at that time."
"I see."
Ross nodded, glanced at Robin's smooth long legs hanging on the window sill, turned around and walked in.
