Time has spanned nineteen years of the Great Pirates Era and entered the early 20th year of the Great Pirates Era. There are still less than two years left before Luffy goes to sea in the original work.
One month after returning to Ten Thousand Kingdoms, Ross's will has almost recovered, and Murasame has adapted to the situation of shouldering one soul incarnation and can start making a second soul incarnation.
Whether the soul incarnation can eat devil fruits is a question.
Before Rhodes created the second soul incarnation, he summoned Trafalgar Law and Caesar to inquire and discuss this issue.
The Soul Soul Fruit has been in the hands of BIGMOM in the past few decades. It was not until BIGMOM's death that it fell into the hands of Rhodes. Neither Trafalgar Law nor Caesar had any specific understanding of the soul incarnation.
but.
The soul incarnation that Rhodes created before can replace other people's personalities and souls in the form of mind exchange surgery. This is the basis for judgment.
Caesar thought deeply: "Since the power of the devil fruit can be integrated into weapons, it should not be a problem to integrate the soul incarnation."
"No."
Trafalgarro shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. Strictly speaking, Lord Rhodes' soul incarnation is not a specific 'matter' and has no body itself."
Caesar retorted: "But the soul incarnation can fuse illusory flames and thunder to directly create Homitz. It should be easier to fuse a physical Devil Fruit."
Caesar also knew about Homitz. After all, Rhodes had produced a bunch of Homitz in the base during his previous experiments.
"That's what I said."
Trafalgarro tilted his head and said, "But are you sure that the Homitz you created is not a talking 'Devil Fruit'?"
"this… "
Caesar was stunned.
There is no doubt that what Rhodes wants is a hurricane that can exert power, not a devil fruit with eyes, a mouth, and talking.
"If the actual Devil Fruit doesn't work, I can try to extract the power of the Devil Fruit..." Caesar said to Ross.
Ross said: "Is it the way to give devil fruits to items?"
"yes."
Caesar nodded and said: "But there are some differences. What is extracted in that way is a liquid energy-containing Devil Fruit. What you need may be something more abstract, which is more difficult, but it is not impossible. "
Ross touched his chin and thought: "Then I will try first to see if I can let the soul incarnation eat the hurricane fruit directly. If that doesn't work, I will use your method."
Rhodes can give life to dead objects and turn them into Homitz. He can also extract the soul from dead objects, so he doesn't worry about the soul being wasted after being fused with the Devil Fruit.
What's more.
It doesn't matter if something like soul incarnation is destroyed.
Murasame is able to create countless soul incarnations, but it can only afford the existence of about six soul incarnations.
A simple explanation is that a fruit tree can produce hundreds or thousands of fruits over decades, but that does not mean that it can afford these thousands of fruits at the same time.
Only five or six soul incarnations can exist at a time.
This is Murasame's current limit unless its intensity is increased.
After making the decision, Ross no longer hesitated. He drew out the soul-cutting sword Murasame. His will condensed on Murasame's sword edge, and the power of the soul fruit brewed and condensed.
It was the first time for both Caesar and Trafalgar Law to observe the activation of the soul fruit's ability at close range. Both of them stared intently at Ross's sword blade.
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
Ross's concentrated will became stronger and stronger, and a strange substance appeared on the blade, which was constantly squirming, as if it was about to drip out of the blade.
Just when the squirming thing reached its limit, Ross swung his sword, and an invisible sword light flashed through, throwing the thing away.
Snap!
The squirming thing fell to the corner, rolled up and turned into a dark slime with a strange light.
Having seen the soul incarnate once before and made the Hungry Ghost Path with his own hands, Trafalgarro was not surprised and his expression became calm.
Caesar was very interested in this 'slime', but he knew that it was the incarnation of Rhodes' soul, so of course he did not dare to make any request for research.
call.
After making the second soul incarnation, Rhodes breathed out.
The first soul incarnation was his immature work. As for the second soul incarnation, because he already had some experience, he deliberately raised it to the limit, and then activated the ability of the Soul Soul Fruit to chop it out. .
This soul incarnation is at least 30% more powerful than the previous soul incarnation. It puts a great burden on Murasame, but Ross also has high hopes for it.
Compared to puppets like Hungry Ghost Road.
Rhodes wants a Homitz who is similar to Prometheus and Zeus and floats next to him at all times, and his strength should ideally be several times stronger than these two.
After taking a breath, Rhodes took out the hurricane fruit from his pocket. This devil fruit is similar to other natural devil fruits, but the color is cyan, and the pattern on it is the pattern of a rotating hurricane.
Raise your hand and throw it away.
The hurricane fruit drew an arc and was thrown towards the slime-like soul incarnation, and finally fell into its mouth accurately.
The soul incarnation made a swallowing motion.
Ross looked expectantly.
But just after the soul incarnation swallowed the devil fruit, its body suddenly froze, and then began to rapidly shrink toward the center, and was finally sucked into the hurricane fruit, and eyes and eyes finally appeared on the hurricane fruit. mouth.
"Boss."
The revived hurricane fruit jumped towards Ross and spoke.
Rhodes: "..."
This is the last thing you want to see happen.
However, Ross still had a glimmer of hope in his heart and asked towards the hurricane fruit: "Can it release the power of hurricane?"
"It seems like, can't."
The hurricane fruit jumped twice and answered at Ross.
Rhodes: "..."
The funny scene made both Trafalgarro and Caesar want to laugh, but neither of them dared to laugh and forced themselves to hold it back.
Ross sighed, swung the sword in his hand, and slashed out at the hurricane fruit.
The hurricane fruit trembled, its eyes and mouth disappeared, and a strange thing wriggled out of it, transforming into a slime again.
Rhodes walked over, picked up the hurricane fruit, looked at Caesar, and said:
"Let's go and try your method."
"yes."
Caesar nodded, took the hurricane fruit, and walked to his laboratory.
