Chapter 178: The Paintbrush That Ate a Devil Fruit, Bug Clone Ability

"Wuuu!! Luode, I really can't take it anymore, I, I've never drawn something this exhausting, so tired, so tired! I feel like all my energy has been drained." The little raccoon cat lay on the ground, eyes swirling with circles, looking utterly weak.

Before, when he used his own ability for transformation and metamorphosis, it wasn't this difficult, but the blue demon he just drew directly drained almost all of his energy.

Fortunately, the material used this time was decent; otherwise, he wouldn't have even been able to persist until the end, completing the entire painting.

Luode's palm glowed with a cluster of life energy, then he placed it on the little raccoon cat, beginning to heal his wounds.

Under the infusion of life energy, the little raccoon cat displayed a remarkably human-like expression, rubbing his head against Luode's palm, looking very comfortable.

"So warm, so warm, Lord Luode, your hand is warmer than the boss's hand, Padong has never felt anything so wonderful."

"Hehe! All right! It seems your ability isn't omnipotent either; can you draw me out using leaves?" Luode looked at the yellow little raccoon cat.

"No! I'm already at my limit, and I don't know why, but the things I draw in this world have no ability inside them at all." The yellow little raccoon cat Padong shook his head.

"Hmm! I get it! You can draw out some not-too-strong living beings from this world, but you cannot replicate the energy they possess." Luode nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm! How strange! According to logic, my ability should be able to perfectly replicate Devil Fruit abilities.

But for some reason, I cannot replicate the power of this world.

Perhaps, perhaps if I myself mastered these powers, I might be able to." The yellow little raccoon cat spoke.

"Is that so? These aren't Devil Fruit energies, so you can't draw them out, but we can infuse them with energy."

This little guy's ability is truly amazing! His Devil Fruit ability, even in Luode's view, is top-tier, capable of being achieved through a transforming leaf.

On it, one draws the person they wish to summon, and that person comes to life, possessing thirty percent of the original's strength, and also having the ability to act independently.

During the attack on Wano Country, he drew the Pirate King Roger, Whitebeard, Buddha Sengoku, Garp, Zeff, and even the Golden Lion, all of whom possessed the corresponding Devil Fruit abilities.

Even more terrifying is that they can actually use Haki.

Although their strength is not equal to the originals, this is still incredibly abnormal, isn't it? It's essentially equivalent to creating a weakened version of a clone.

And as long as this little raccoon cat draws something out, unless that person is defeated, it can continue to exist indefinitely.

You know, the raw material is just an ordinary leaf! This ability is too heaven-defying! As for his boss! Self-proclaimed as having eaten the strongest Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, the Red Count.

His vampire abilities are also strange—hypnosis, bloodsucking, returning to youth, illusion—all are signature vampire skills.

But vampire abilities against the Death Knight Whitebeard? That is indeed a natural counter.

Suddenly, two top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits were delivered right to the door, making Luode feel both honored and startled.

These past few days, Luode also had the little raccoon cat demonstrate his ability; first, some extremely powerful beings, he cannot draw out.

For example, Sargeras, Archimonde, Kil'jaeden, even Luode himself, or rather, the current Hundred Beasts Kaido.

Joke, if he truly ignored any rules, as long as he has seen someone, drawing them out would grant them thirty percent strength.

Then drawing out Sargeras, even if only thirty percent of the original's strength.

That would still be heaven-shattering and earth-destroying, or if he brought him to Marvel, letting him casually draw one of the Five Great Creator Gods, thirty percent strength would be enough to thrash the Sky Father.

The Hundred Beasts Kaido he drew out has absolutely no fel energy, nor any rage bonus—just a primitive version of Kaido, possessing thirty percent of the strength.

The demon creatures he draws out are the same—though they look similar, they lack fel energy; they need this side to inject fel energy before they can act.

The power belonging to the One Piece world, he can manifest, such as Devil Fruit abilities, plus the three colors of Haki.

But once he leaves the One Piece world, he can only draw out a similar flesh body, nothing more.

However, the most important energy on Illidan is fel energy, and Luode happens to have it.

"Padong! I want to know, are you actually a creature that ate a Mythical Zoan Fruit? Or are you a special paintbrush that ate a Mythical Zoan Fruit?" Luode pondered for a moment before asking.

This little raccoon cat's Mythical Zoan Transforming Raccoon Fruit should not be able to turn into a paintbrush, after all, he ate the Transforming Raccoon Fruit, not a fruit that turns into a brush.

Moreover, the other party's appearance is also that of a raccoon cat, which is too much of a coincidence! So Luode is very suspicious—he is fundamentally just a paintbrush that ate a Devil Fruit.

Turning into a raccoon cat form is the Devil Fruit's animal form.

"You, you actually guessed it, amazing, the boss doesn't even know this! I am indeed a paintbrush, because I ate a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, so I can turn into a raccoon cat form."

This person is amazing! He guessed all of my affairs in an instant.

"I remember, you should be able to cast spells on these leaves, turning them into a kind of transforming leaf, even if you yourself are not present, you can use the ability to manifest them, right?" Luode narrowed his eyes and asked. When the Red Count first appeared, he had just drawn out two Natural System Fruit ability users, Smoker and Aokiji.

And afterward, he continuously used this ability, transforming into Fire Fist, Ace, Blackbeard, and even Whitebeard.

That is to say, even without this little raccoon cat's existence, this ability can still be used.

This little raccoon cat is very dishonest; he didn't tell me the truth, looks like I need to find some time to extract your Devil Fruit ability, then let my Homies eat it.

"Yes, no, I, that." Hearing this, the little raccoon cat became very nervous; this is indeed his ability, but how did the other party know?

This method of casting spells on leaves and then letting others use them should only be known by the boss! Did the boss tell the enemy?

However, these transforming leaves also have limitations; if it's something he himself cannot draw out, then even if others get these leaves, they also cannot draw it out.

"The leaves I gave you are called World Tree branches and leaves, a very rare and powerful tree.

Now you cast spells on all of them, turning them into transforming leaves; the remaining work doesn't need you—I'll do it myself." Luode spoke expressionlessly.

Originally I wanted to spare your life, but you dared to play tricks.

In that case, wait until I find some time, I'll directly extract your Devil Fruit ability!

The little raccoon cat nodded, under Luode's gaze, began casting spells on the leaves on the ground; soon these huge leaves started shrinking, gradually becoming palm-sized.

The little raccoon cat picked up these transforming leaves and handed them to Luode.

"Here! As long as you remember someone you've seen, you can draw them out, though strength-wise, it used to be thirty percent, but now I'm not sure."

Luode nodded, gathered all the transforming leaves, then looked at the yellow little raccoon cat, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"You've worked hard, little guy, go rest! I'll call you again if needed."

Luode smiled, opened a portal, and sent the yellow little raccoon cat back to the Azeroth world, where other Hundred Beasts Pirates personnel were assigned to watch over him.

"Lord Luode, this miraculous ability is very useful, can mass-produce high-tier division clones for the army, even if only forty percent strength, it's still precious." Ma Ke Zha Er spoke.

"Using these World Tree leaves, made into transforming leaves, plus our energy infusion afterward, should allow strength to reach forty percent of the original.

However, the things or living beings he draws out should have significant limitations." Luode spoke.

These transforming leaves consume the user's Haki, so after success, they will obey the user's command.

As for that little wildcat, it wouldn't suffer any loss; it merely provided a medium, otherwise, with its strength, drawing an Illidan would be quite impressive.

Luode took out a transforming leaf, drew Illidan on it, and activated the ability.

Then his three-colored Haki was partially absorbed, and soon a lifelike Illidan appeared.

It looked exactly like the original Illidan, with the same demon wings, demon horns, and demon hooves, but his entire body had not a trace of fel energy.

Although it had the appearance of a demon, it had not undergone fel corruption.

"You should have self-awareness, right?" Luode asked.

"Yes, Master." The drawn demon Illidan answered Luode.

Using this transforming leaf consumes one's Haki energy, and the summoned creature will completely obey Luode's commands.

Luode nodded, pouring his fel energy into this Illidan's body until the body reached its limit and stopped.

Instantly, Illidan's eyes lit up with fel fire, the demon horns on his head and the hooves on his feet also ignited with fel fire.

Luode could clearly feel that he could control this body, perfectly directing the other's movements.

"Ma Ke Zha Er, can you control your clone?" Luode asked.

"Lord Luode, after infusing him with fel energy, I can remotely control this body; as for his original consciousness, I have erased it." Ma Ke Zha Er said.

Joking aside, as my clone, he must not have any wisdom and must simply accept my control.

"Good, next we will design a dungeon, the Dark Temple dungeon."
