Chapter 398: Devil Fruit

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie entered the shared space and looked around casually, finding that he was the last one to arrive,

and the other Tianlong Zhang Jie, Yitian Zhang Jie, Consumption Zhang Jie, and Pirate Zhang Jie had already arrived.

Among them, Tianlong Zhang Jie, Yitian Zhang Jie, and Consumption Zhang Jie were all surrounding the Pirate Zhang Jie, who had a general-level figure nearly three meters tall,

and even sitting down was taller than ordinary people standing, truly standing out from the crowd.

Obviously, Pirate Zhang Jie was the initiator of this "Myriad Realms Zhang Jie Call-up Order."

However, at this time, he had no energy to pay attention to other things,

his gaze was completely attracted by a peculiar fruit in the palm of Pirate Zhang Jie's hand

—compared to ordinary fruits, the outer peel of this fruit was covered with "arabesque-like" spiral patterns.

"Devil Fruit?!"

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie couldn't help but exclaim. This feature was simply too obvious,

making him, a former pirate enthusiast, recognize it at a glance.

As a major specialty of the pirate world, the Devil Fruit is truly somewhat deafening.

Anyone who has surfed the Internet in the 21st century, whether they have watched *One Piece* or not,

more or less has some understanding of the term Devil Fruit and the meaning it represents.

As Zhang Jies who have a Zhang Jie living in the pirate world,

they naturally racked their brains to keep all the characteristics of the Devil Fruit in their hearts,

so as not to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed because of the lack of knowledge,

and let the opportunity slip away from their side in vain.

The Devil Fruit is called the secret treasure of the sea, with a market price of at least 100 million Berries.

It is the incarnation of the sea devil, and after eating it, you will get different abilities.

Many strong people have laid the foundation for their powerful strength with powerful Devil Fruits,

among which the most famous are the three admirals who represent the highest combat power of the Navy,

all of whom have each eaten a powerful Logia fruit representing natural disasters.

The appearance of the Devil Fruit is similar to common fruits, but has unique characteristics.

The shape of the Devil Fruit is similar to common fruits, such as cantaloupe, banana, pineapple, etc.,

but the outer peel and inner flesh of the fruit are covered with "arabesque-like" spiral patterns,

which is its most significant common feature.

The color of the fruit varies, depending on its type and ability.

For example, the Flame-Flame Fruit is orange, with flame-shaped patterns on the peel;

the Flower-Flower Fruit is pink, with layers of petals on the peel;

the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is mainly black, with golden patterns on the surface.

Of course, some Devil Fruits have unique appearances,

such as the Love-Love Fruit, which is cherry-shaped, appears in pairs, and has heart-shaped spiral patterns on the surface;

the Song-Song Fruit is a pink cantaloupe, wrapped in four-color rings on the outside, resembling a musical staff.

And there is the artificial Devil Fruit (such as SMILE), whose appearance is different from natural fruits,

with donut-shaped circular patterns all over its peel and flesh, rather than spiral patterns.

The appearance design of the Devil Fruit not only reflects its unique ability,

but also increases the character's recognition and visual appeal, making the pirate world more colorful.

"It is indeed a Devil Fruit."

Yitian Zhang Jie nodded in agreement.

"To be precise, it should be the Paramecia *Munch-Munch Fruit* among the Devil Fruits."

Tianlong Zhang Jie added.

Devil Fruit abilities are divided into three major categories: Paramecia,

Zoan (including two rare Mythical Zoans and Ancient Zoans), and Logia.

Paramecia Devil Fruits allow the eater's body to possess special abilities.

Its ability types are varied, and it can be said that all fruits other than Logia and Zoan can be classified into this system.

Most of them are mainly based on three types of abilities: "body deformation," "influencing things that the body touches,"

and "producing a type of object from the body."

The "world's strongest man," Whitebeard Edward Newgate, who possesses the "power to destroy the world," the Tremor-Tremor Fruit,

and the Soul-Soul Fruit of Big Mom, the Lord of Totto Land, who can use lifespan to create various,

functionally different Homies, are all Paramecia Devil Fruits.

Zoan Devil Fruits allow the eater to transform into an animal, and the animal's unique horns,

teeth, claws, body hair, tail, and other body parts will appear on the eater's body.

In addition, there are two rare varieties: Ancient Zoan, Mythical Zoan.

Ancient Zoan is an animal from the ancient period, and Mythical Zoan is an animal or person from myths or legends.

Mythical Zoan is rarer than Logia, and Ancient Zoan is called rare in the world.

One of the Four Emperors, known as the "world's strongest creature," Kaido, who has committed suicide, been captured by the Navy,

and executed multiple times to no avail, is the owner of the Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit *Mythical Zoan* Azure Dragon Fruit.

And there is the Logia Devil Fruit, which is recognized as the strongest of the three Devil Fruits.

The biggest feature of Logia is that it can make the body "elementalized" (except for the Dark-Dark Fruit),

thereby making physical attacks ineffective, and the ability user can use non-physical (elemental) properties to restrain enemies or attack.

Except for special restraint that can hit certain Logia entities,

only Armament Haki, Seastone, and the Dark-Dark Fruit can touch Logia entities.

The three Navy Admirals, Kuzan "Aokiji" who ate the Ice-Ice Fruit; Sakazuki "Akainu" who ate the Magma-Magma Fruit;

and Borsalino "Kizaru" who ate the Glint-Glint Fruit are typical representatives of Logia Devil Fruits.

And at this time, the appearance of the fruit in Pirate Zhang Jie's palm also very much fits the characteristic that Devil Fruits look peculiar:

The fruit body is a huge, mouth-like organ, covered with sharp serrated edges;

it is purple in tone, completely different from the appearance of general fruits;

the center of the fruit has an obvious oral structure, giving people a strong "sense of devouring."

This is clearly the typical characteristic of the Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Munch-Munch Fruit!

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the Munch-Munch Fruit be in the hands of Wapol, the King of Drum Island?

How did it appear in Totto Land in the New World, and finally appear in Pirate Zhang Jie's hands?"

Yitian Zhang Jie touched his chin with some doubt.

Wapol, the user of the Munch-Munch Fruit, former captain of the Bliking Pirates, King of Drum Kingdom, nicknamed "Munch-Munch Man."

During his reign, he implemented tyranny, promulgated cruel decrees such as "hunting doctors," and prohibited doctors from treating others,

leading to the collapse of the medical system of the Drum Kingdom, which was originally known as the "Medical Kingdom," and the people's livelihood was withered.

He was eventually defeated by the captain Monkey D. Luffy in the conflict with the Straw Hat Pirates and lost his throne.

"I don't know about this either, I was just strolling around the fruit stall on the island today,

looking for dessert after dinner when I found it."

Pirate Zhang Jie pointed to the Munch-Munch Fruit in his palm with his other finger, indicating that he himself was not very clear.

"Now it is the year 1517 of the Sea Circle Calendar, and there are still several years before our Son of Heaven, Pirate King Luffy, goes to sea.

The time for him to arrive at Drum Island to overthrow Wapol's brutal rule is even longer,

perhaps Wapol got the Munch-Munch Fruit during this time."

Tianlong Zhang Jie thought about it and gave a guess. ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
