The World of Pirates

Chapter 82 No Choice
After the horse-faced half-orc's heart was crushed by Richard's arrogance, at the seventh minute and 28 seconds, the half-orc characteristics on the prisoner began to quickly dissipate.

At the seventh minute and 33 seconds, the prisoner's body had fully returned to its normal human state.

Apparently, it was during these five seconds that the devil fruit power within the prisoner left his corpse.

Li Cha's armed domineering output was steady and firm, trying his best to keep the "hood" stable.

At the same time, Li Cha shrank his knowledge and domineering aura, and locked the position within a radius of ten meters, not letting go of any movement.

Five minutes later, Li Cha stopped the output of armed domineering, and let the prisoner's body collapse to the ground.

Although the domineering and knowledgeable had already perceived the result, Li Cha still wanted to verify it with his own eyes.Picking up the package on the prisoner's chest, Li Cha opened it and examined it carefully.

"Why not?"

The package is full of all the fruits that Li Cha can collect so far, and there are several of each type.But none of the big bags full of them turned into devil fruits.

Without rushing to think, Li Cha first re-tightened the package full of fruits, carried it on his back, and then took out the sheath with no name on his waist.

"bass--"

Li Cha cut a crack three to four meters long, half a meter wide, and four to five meters deep in the frozen soil under his feet.

After kicking the prisoner's body into the crack, Li Cha once again slashed into the crack with an armed and domineering flying slash.

When Wu Ming was sheathed, the prisoner's body was also crushed into meat paste by this flying slash.Li Cha stomped his feet on the ground, and the frozen soil on both sides collapsed, burying the minced meat.

Then Li Cha quickly left here with the package on his back.

······
Extremely cold hell, in Li Cha's room.

A package full of fruits was placed on the bedside, Li Cha sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.

[The method of using armed domineering to control the transfer of devil fruit ability seems to be proven impossible. 】

[So, what is the reason for the failure?Is it because my armed domineering is not strong enough to restrain the "ability"?What will be the result if you add a closed sea building stone room and try again in the deep sea? 】

[However, the processing of Hailou Stone is another problem. Also, I am currently advancing in the city, and there is no way to operate this plan for the time being. 】

[Well, let's list it as an alternative plan first. 】

The experiment seems to have reached an impasse at this point.

So Li Cha reviewed the previous experiment again, mobilized his brain, changed his thinking, and tried to redesign the experiment.

Intuition tells Li Cha that if the road of armed domineering is not feasible, then even if the experiment is carried out in the Hailoushi room on the seabed, the same result will probably be the same.

[Is there such a possibility-my armed domineering "hood" is actually strong enough to restrain the devil fruit's ability, but there is only restraint and no oppressive force, so the "ability" has not entered the fruit for a long time, When I let go of the hood, the "ability" escaped! 】

[Yes, I shouldn't ignore the tendency of each "devil ability" to different fruits. Maybe a certain "devil ability" likes apples in particular?And the other "devil ability" likes bananas? 】

[In the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book", each devil fruit has a different shape. Could it be that they were different types of fruits before they turned into devil fruits? 】

[I have only failed twice. Since it is an experiment, you might as well try a few more times. It is also good to accumulate more experimental data. 】

[If it doesn't work, I have to try the last method. 】

······
Three days later, in the same remote corner of the extremely cold hell, Li Cha started the experiment again.

As usual, an animal-type ability user was asked to hold the package full of fruits with both hands and feet, and then Li Cha pressed his right hand on the prisoner's heart, and his left hand on the package on the prisoner's chest.

Li Cha first locked the prisoner's body with his knowledge-colored arrogance, and then released his armed arrogance with all his strength.It's just that this time it's no longer the same as before, the domineering "hood" of armed color is close to the prisoner's body, but a certain gap is left.

This time, at the sixth minute and 52 seconds, the half-orc characteristics on the prisoner began to dissipate, and Li Cha instantly increased the output of armed domineering.

At the sixth minute and 58 seconds, the prisoner's body has completely returned to the state of a normal person.

So, Li Cha began to control his armed domineering, allowing the "hood" to shrink slowly and steadily.

The edge of the armed domineering "hood" slowly passed over the prisoner's body, shrinking towards the fruit-filled package in the prisoner's arms.

At No. 11 minutes, the "cover" has shrunk to only the package containing the fruit.

After waiting for 1 minute, Li Cha controlled the "hood" to shrink again. The edges of the "hood" shrink slowly but firmly towards the center of the package. After 10 minutes, there was only one apple left in the "cover".

Li Cha persisted for another three minutes and 27 seconds, until his armed domineering energy was exhausted, and he had no choice but to remove the "cover".

Li Cha, who didn't believe in evil, opened the package to check, but the fruit was still the same as before, and there was no sign of turning into a devil fruit at all.

After quickly disposing of the corpse, Li Cha left here.

······
In the following month, Li Cha conducted three more experiments, two with animals and one with superhumans.

Moreover, Li Cha also increased the types and quantity of fruits in the package again, doubling the size.

Even the arrangement of the fruits in the package, Li Cha spent a lot of thought.Let each layer of the package maintain the diversity of fruit types, and improve the success rate of the experiment as much as possible.

But without exception, all experiments ended in failure.

······
[Either, the road of armed domineering is not going to work, or my armed domineering is not strong enough.But the strength of domineering cannot be improved in a short period of time, so for now, I can already give up this path. 】

【Domineering can't go, Hailoushi is limited by conditions, and now I can't go to the deep sea. For the present plan, I can only try that idea. 】

[Speaking of which, I shouldn’t have killed the cannibal Ham Lauder back then. If he was still alive, he would be of great use now. 】

At the beginning, when Li Cha was designing the experiment, the most critical point was because Li Cha speculated that the fruit and the human body were nothing but a carrier of "demon power".

A person with abilities can be regarded as a special devil fruit.

Therefore, there is still the last way before Li Cha - choose to eat the capable person directly into his stomach!
[Unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to choose to eat people. 】
