Chapter 123: The Nika Fruit is the MVP, Luffy is a dog who won by lying down

Does anyone, regardless of their previous personality, gradually become a person like Luffy after eating the Nika Fruit?

Pursuing freedom, treating people sincerely, and remaining unyielding?

Or, judging by the statement in Naruto that "one is not recognized as Hokage because they become Hokage, but they become Hokage because they are recognized by everyone," is it not that one becomes a person like "Luffy" only after eating the Nika Fruit, but rather that only a person like "Luffy" can gain the Nika Fruit's recognition?

Based on existing information, it is actually insufficient to prove anything; the Nika Fruit is not the only Devil Fruit that possesses a will, are there not "demons" residing in other fruits as well?

At most, the Nika Fruit is a bit special.

Look at Luffy after the Nika Fruit awakened; what did he say after he woke up?

【What happened to me? Why can I still stand?】

【I clearly lost, yet I have become happy.】

【Ah Ah Ah】

【I can do everything I want to do; it seems I can fight for a while longer.】

【This is my peak; this is... Gear Fifth.】

【Don't take it to heart. Let's settle this.】

At this moment, Luffy is definitely Luffy without question, but at this moment, Luffy is also definitely influenced by the fruit; although it is only an emotional influence, an influence is an influence, regardless of the aspect.

So Su Su Mengyao said that Ye Xuan should consider this aspect when negotiating the price; as for herself, she completely did not care about the will of some "Joy Boy."

What legendary Liberator Sun God Nika, what fruit bearing the name of a god, what Joy Boy; it's as if eating this Devil Fruit alone would save the whole world.

But the question is, who actually did it?

Did he, Joy Boy, do it?

He did nothing!

Although, due to his powerful abilities, the World Government has always concealed this name to erase him from history and remains wary of him and this fruit, this does not change the fact that he failed.

Even if he tried again, he might not succeed; the result would likely not change at all.

Moreover, during these eight hundred years, has no one obtained the Nika Fruit? Has no one eaten the Nika Fruit? Was it specifically waiting for Luffy?

Did it plan for Luffy's birth eight hundred years from eight hundred years ago?

Obviously impossible.

So why did other people who ate the Nika Fruit not become people like Luffy? Why did they not save the world?

Because the Devil Fruit is just a Devil Fruit; the ones who can truly achieve this are always people, not a mere fruit.

What will of Joy Boy? Why do you care so much about it? Do you know it would alienate Luffy's contributions?

Then let me ask you, was Joy Boy a failure? Did he initially only develop the Nika Fruit to the point of awakening, displaying a battle stance resembling the legendary Sun God Nika, without achieving what Luffy was able to do?

Answer me!

Also, who is Luffy? The Marine Hero is his grandfather, Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, is his father, his sworn brother is the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, his second brother is the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Yonko Shanks was willing to bet an arm on a new era for him, and Silvers Rayleigh is his teacher.

Did he, Joy Boy, have this status and treatment?

Answer me!

After Luffy became the Pirate King, he took a look and thought, "Oh, the Nika Fruit is the MVP; I, Luffy, am just a dog who won by lying down."

Can it be calculated like that?

Look in my eyes!

When mixing in this world, one must speak of power and background; did Luffy become the Pirate King and liberate the world because of the Nika Fruit? If Luffy had eaten anything other than the Nika Fruit, this name would not have been mentioned once in the anime.

Do you understand the order of precedence?

Gura Gura no Mi MVP; the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, is a dog who won by lying down!

Magma-Magma Fruit MVP; Admiral Akainu is a dog who won by lying down!

Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Azure Dragon MVP; Kaido of the Beasts is a dog who won by lying down!

Can it be calculated like that?

They are powerful because they were powerful to begin with; even without eating a Devil Fruit, it would be the same.

Of course, these Devil Fruits were originally top-tier fruits; this is also beyond doubt.

So Su Su Mengyao completely did not care whether there was some will within it, nor did she care about the fruit's influence on the eater's emotions, such as "happiness" or "laughter," after eating it.

If you randomly pull someone out on the street, regardless of their attitude toward the Nika Fruit, if you place the Nika Fruit in front of them, see if they will eat it.

That person, Lu Jing, who used to say every day "Mera Mera no Mi, even a dog wouldn't eat it," when the Mera Mera no Mi appeared before him, didn't he eat it more happily than anyone else?

But even if she thinks this way, the price must still be negotiated; one thing is one thing.

"Agreed."

"Three swords for the Nika Fruit, and one for the Mammoth Fruit."

"Of course, considering that some of the Seven Swords have already chosen their masters, you can also wait until there are suitable items in the future before trading."

Although the Nika Fruit held no attraction for Ye Xuan, and he could lower the price slightly due to potential defects in the Nika Fruit, he would not lower it too much.

Three of the Seven Swords, in his eyes, is already an extremely favorable price; if this is not agreed upon, then there is nothing left to discuss.

"You only want this much? Won't you suffer too much of a loss?"

Although the Tian Shu Bureau currently only possesses three of the Seven Swords and cannot provide four, exchanging the Nika Fruit for only three swords, and the Mammoth Fruit for even just one, is a price that is too disadvantageous for Ye Xuan.

No matter how you look at it, the Nika Fruit is a Mythical Zoan type; if developed well, a Fifth Stage is basically a certainty in the future; and the Mammoth Fruit is also the Devil Fruit of Jack, one of the Three Calamities; the Fifth Stage is uncertain, but the Fourth Stage is inevitable, and it would be among the higher end of the Fourth Stage.

Not to mention just four swords; even if all seven swords were given to Ye Xuan, she still felt that Ye Xuan was suffering a loss.

"How about this? Give me the Mammoth Fruit, and I will call Wang Wang Shouguo to have him send the Changhong Sword over."

"Although, in terms of value alone, the Changhong Sword does not exceed the other swords among the Seven Swords by much, at least it carries more sentiment."

"Keep the Nika Fruit for now; we will find you again to trade after we collect items of similar grade later."

Su Su Mengyao said this after thinking for a moment.

Although Ye Xuan was willing to let them take this advantage, and it would be fine for them to do so, given Ye Xuan's current strength, his importance to Da Xia is too great; they did not want to reduce Ye Xuan's favor toward them in any way that might be possible.

Ye Xuan could disregard the value of the Nika Fruit and the Mammoth Fruit, needing only four of the Seven Swords, but they could not afford to be indifferent.

Of course, they could not offer treasures of the myriad heavens of even greater value to trade with Ye Xuan, for Ye Xuan merely collected them, while they needed such treasures of the myriad heavens to cultivate powerful experts.

Therefore, an equivalent exchange was the best, and it must leave both sides feeling satisfied.
