Chapter 88 The "upper limit" of ability

"Based on some known examples, I judge that -

"In addition to a strong body and a firm will, another condition for ability awakening is 'comprehensive'!"

Many people with abilities also have an indestructible will.

But many of them only focus on developing capabilities in one direction.

Although there is no clear evidence, in Wayne's knowledge, "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate seems to be such a representative.

The power of the earthquake fruit is enough to destroy the world, but to put it bluntly, it is manifested in pure destructive power from beginning to end.

Kidd, who also belongs to the "superpower" category, has awakened. His awakening ability can "give magnetism" to non-metallic objects other than himself, and even the human body.

Then Whitebeard's Shock Fruit, if awakened, should also be able to "give" the ability to "cause vibrations" to things other than himself!

Whitebeard relies on his powerful power to shatter the atmosphere and cause tsunamis.

But this only relies on the conductivity of vibration.

Even the unparalleled "hand-tear Malinfando", the ultimate move that overturns the sea and the sky...

It has nothing to do with "giving one's abilities to things other than oneself"!

Therefore, Wayne judged that although Whitebeard was strong and the Shock Fruit was terrifying, he had not "awakened"!

Because Whitebeard's ability development only focuses on pure destructive power, which is not "comprehensive" enough!

Vibrations can do a lot more than just damage.

Whitebeard did not achieve the ultimate in the concept of "causing shock".

To put it simply, there is more than enough roughness and lack of detail.

"Comprehensive" should mean that the part of the "rules" that one can control is brought into full play.

It doesn't matter whether it's destruction or otherwise.

Doflamingo has developed the characteristics of "thread" to the extreme, almost as a concept——

The threads of the "birdcage" are indestructible and even generals cannot cut them open.

The reason why this former Celestial Dragon was limited to the level of the Shichibukai was because his "body" had reached the standard of awakening, but was not strong enough.

Even if the Zhenzhen Fruit is in his hands, the destructive power it can exert is definitely incomparable to Whitebeard.

After all, in the final analysis, he is a tactical person who plays with his brain;

Katakuri has developed the "transformation" of waxy substances to the extreme, and with the ultimate visual color, it almost achieves a natural effect.

Even with the armed color domineering, the fighting methods are truly ever-changing;

Tezolo and Barrett are the same model, developing the "control" of gold and combined substances to the extreme.

As small as a ring sword, as large as a Gundam, the control is perfect;

Kidd has a very thorough understanding of the application of "magnetism".

He does not simply use magnetism to attract metal to hit people, but constructs it into various machines to produce various effects beyond his abilities;

Not to mention Luo.

A space-transferring "surgery space" was actually created with electric shock and mute effects.

And a certain sun god, although he was a bit of a thief, betrayed the superhuman system and went to the animal system...

But it was indeed after the properties of rubber were developed to the extreme that there were almost no other possibilities, which triggered the awakening.

"So, strictly speaking, I think that at least the awakening of superhuman abilities can be summarized again."

Although Wayne did not give an example of the names of ability users to Robin, he used "Navy's files" to explain, which seemed to make sense.

After all, although devil fruit awakenings are very rare, there have been many in the ocean in the past 800 years.

"I re-divided it into three aspects: 'mind', 'body' and 'skill'."

Wayne held out three fingers and stated to Robin the conclusion he had thought about during this period:

"'Heart' means will.

"Unparalleled strong will, belief in oneself, and belief in one's abilities give those with abilities the prerequisites to cause miracles!"

"'Ti' means body.

"The powerful strength and stamina brought by a strong body are the most direct basis for promoting the evolution of abilities!"

"'Technology' refers to the degree of ability development.

“Comprehensively develop your own abilities, involve all possibilities, and achieve the ‘extreme’ within your capabilities.

"In this way, it is possible to move to the next stage of 'awakening'!"

But Wayne also believes that Kaido's statement is not wrong.

However, that should be the "awakening" of the animal system.

The awakening of the animal system, not to mention the powerful physique.

But the "level of development" of the animal system ultimately comes down to the control of the animal's "body".

Therefore, the "body" of the animal system can be considered to represent both "body" and "skill".

"Heart" represents a strong will, which is the most important thing——

Either defeat the will in the fruit, or be recognized by the will in the fruit.

Depending on the strength of the will within the fruit, the awakening of the animal type is also difficult or easy.

The common species is probably the easiest to awaken, or refer to a certain giraffe.

Wein even suspected that this "docile herbivore" is more likely to awaken than the "ferocious carnivore"...

Reference to a certain leopard.

Ancient species will probably be more difficult.

After all, even if Jhin and Quinn have developed their abilities to such extraordinary levels, they have not yet awakened.

The awakening of the fantasy beast system should be the most difficult.

The Nika fruit, which contains the "will of God", has not awakened for 800 years.

When encountering the common species and ancient species in front, you may be able to defeat the will in the fruit with your own will.

Now that we have arrived at the fantasy beast species...

Just being recognized by it is already rare in the world.

As for the natural system, the focus may be different, but the principle should be the same.

"...Mr. Venn is not only an excellent businessman and a powerful former navy man, but also an outstanding scholar."

Wayne finished his story, and after a long while, Robin smiled and gave him this evaluation.

"Just these studies on Devil Fruits are of incomparable value!"

After more than ten years, she once again felt the joy of researching and discussing knowledge with other scholars at O'Hara.

The nature of a scholar makes her want to continue exploring:

"Mr. Wayne, you just mentioned, 'the upper limit of ability'..."

"One of the conditions for 'awakening', 'skill', is to develop abilities close to or even to the upper limit.

"But is there really an upper limit to ability?"

"There should indeed be an upper limit."

Wayne laughed. It was a good thing that Robin could continue to ask:

“Isn’t the difference between the ordinary animal species and the fantasy beast species clear at a glance, whether it’s combat power or other things they can do?

"Natural type, for example, the frozen fruit and the snowy fruit are still in a superior and inferior relationship.

"Even the superhuman type has a superior and inferior relationship such as tons of fruits and light and heavy fruits."

Randomly giving a few examples, Wayne changed his cocktail:

“An ability with a low upper limit should have lower awakening requirements, and vice versa.

“But I think just because there is a cap, it doesn’t mean that the cap is fixed.”

"Will the cap change?"

Robin was stunned for a moment, then began to think thoughtfully:

"Mr. Wayne, are you saying that the concept of ability can change within the cognitive scope of the ability user?"

"As expected of you, Miss Robin!"

Wayne clapped his hands slightly in surprise:

"Yes, what prompted me to have this idea was the 'Weapon Fruit'——

"The weapons fruit ability users who appeared hundreds of years ago, their strongest ability was just to transform into swords, guns, swords and halberds.

"But today's weapon fruit users can not only transform into Gatling, they can even transform into missiles!"

Wayne spread his hands helplessly:

"Has the weapon fruit changed? Maybe not, but the concept of 'weapon' has changed.

"The concept of 'weapon' has changed from a cold weapon perceived by ancient people to a hot weapon recognized by modern people."

Robin's eyes were full of brilliance. This example is indeed intuitive:

"The upper limit of the weapon fruit has changed due to the cognitive change of the ability user!"

"That's it."

Wayne nodded and pointed at himself:

"So, Miss Robin, what do you think, from ancient times to the present, from the time when Devil Fruits were born to the present..."

He raised the wine glass in his hand and shook it. The beautiful sound of the ice cubes making Robin feel lost for a moment.

"How much has the concept of 'wine' changed after thousands of years?"
