Chapter 10 Seeing Me When Lin Shen
More than ten years of asceticism have not been in vain.
Today, Vito, strength, agility, endurance... all physical qualities are monster-level in the eyes of ordinary people, balanced and comprehensive, and there are almost no obvious shortcomings.
He also has a little bit of gun skills, swordsmanship, and various close-fitting fighting skills, and tends to be proficient.
Although the world government rewarded him with 250 million Baileys, it was mostly because it was concerned about the tens of thousands of bandit subordinates, Vito's individual strength had not yet reached this level.
But it is still difficult for the pirate who has just entered the great route from all over the world and offers a reward of tens of millions of Baileys to survive in Vito's hands.
This sounds like "but that's it". However, considering that Vito, who has lived in the mountains for a long time, does not have the channels or ability to learn the domineering spirit of the two colors. It can reach this level just by relying on the human body alone...
In the end, he did not waste all his years of hard work.
Smoke is everywhere.
After gently dusting the ashes, Vito stared at the green fruit in the box, silent.
Compared with the devil fruits he obtained before, this natural fruit is undoubtedly his favorite one. It has been half a year since he succeeded, and he has not eaten it for a long time. Even he himself cannot explain the reason.
Expecting better devil fruits?
No, this thought flashed through my heart for a moment. Natural devil fruit is precious and rare, and it is not easy to be lucky enough to get it. If you want to wait until the next one is placed in front of you, it will be the matter of the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
To be honest, I am still a little resistant... After all, I am not from this world. I have a faint fear of this mysterious fruit that is said to give the soul first to the demon before getting strange power.
But now...
Since I have chosen to go out of the mountains and break into this sea, it is time to make the final decision. Facing a strange environment, only the improvement of strength can make people feel at ease.
After extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, Vito no longer hesitated, took out the green fruit from the box and bit it hard.
puff!
The juice splashed out, and the plump pulp fibers quickly differentiated and dissolved with the chewing of the teeth. The stench savored by the tip of the tongue rushed straight into the throat with the subtle feeling of spicy and choking, spreading rapidly along the intestines, making the stomach juice surging and almost disgusting.
Vito frowned deeply. Even though he had made ample mental preparations before the entrance, the unpalatable level of the devil fruit still easily exceeded his imagination, completely erasing and shattering the last bit of luck that "maybe not that bad".
This is destined to be the most unforgettable eating memory in this life. After Vito swallowed a piece of flesh with difficulty, he continued to take a second bite without saying a word, and continued to chew, swallow, and feel nauseous.
He was quite curious about the way the devil fruits came into effect in the past, and he had asked Gandalf specifically about this.
The fat old man told him through his personal experience that the devil fruit is very unpalatable, but in order to master control ability faster, he must swallow all the fruits as much as possible, and it is best to eat them together with the peel and stems, so that the best results can be achieved.
This sounds very reasonable, and with Lao Gan being a loyal old man who has worked for his family for decades, Vito never doubted the authenticity of this information.
So even though I eat more and more uncomfortable, and I even want to spit out the things in my stomach, in order to control this new force as soon as possible, Vito still silently persevered.
He was eating [power] and savoring the process of [power] pouring into his body... I don't know how long after, he looked at the last bit of fruit stalk with disgust. After comforting himself like this, he closed his eyes and swallowed it.
At this point, the entire devil fruit was eaten has been completed.
Bang!
Vito covered the box with expressionless expression, put away the empty box and the other two demon fruits. After the feeling of swelling stomach acid in his body gradually faded away, he sat down beside the bed, closed his eyes and found the power given by the legendary demon.
"I probably understand what I got..."
Just a few seconds later, Vito opened his eyes again, and a strange and subtle feeling flowed between his limbs and bones. He suddenly opened his raised left hand towards the dazzling sunlight outside the window.
The slender and powerful palms showed a translucent halo color under the sunlight. Looking up, the palm lines seemed to be thin silver lines, lingering in the air like swimming fish.
As Vito's thoughts flowed, the scattered palm lines suddenly twisted and rotated, turning into a circle of annual rings. The color of the entire palm seemed to be splashed with pigments, and suddenly changed from white, rosy to the whole body of green.
Looking at this jade palm that looked like a tree spirit, Vito suddenly turned it over. With a thought, several green vines as thick as bottles were instantly grown from the palm like bamboo shoots after the rain, and spread around at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The white walls, which were originally decorated simply, were immediately dyed by green light.
Vito shook his palm and cut off the connection between the palm and the root of the green vine. The latter stopped growing immediately, but it still remained vital. The vines swayed in the wind, and the emerald green leaves reflected oily light in the sun, shining brightly.
"It can grow plants from the body as they wish, and can still control them as they wish after they leave the body."
Vito silently said in his heart, this was his first impression of his ability. After thinking about it, he suddenly turned his head and his eyes fell on the bedside table. The green plant that was originally placed there for decoration hooked his fingers.
The green plants suddenly shook happily, and followed Vito's gestures to make corresponding movements, standing upright, lying down wilted, shaking the leaf veins left and right... They completed Vito's various instructions with almost zero delay, as silky as the fingers of the arm.
"You can control the surrounding plants at will, and the scope size is uncertain for the time being, which may be positively correlated with the degree of ability development."
This is the second feature. Vito really wants to find a place with many trees to try, but unfortunately the merchant ship has already started. He is in the blue sea at this moment, and the only visible green is the small plant on the bedside table.
“The next thing is the most important point.”
Vito took out his revolver from his waist, loaded the ammunition, and pressed the black muzzle against his temple expressionlessly, and then pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
Bang!
The gunshot suddenly sounded, and the yellow orange bullet shot into the temple, instantly penetrated through it, and in the next moment, it penetrated the entire forehead, rushed out from the temple on the other end, and finally embedded in the wall several meters away.
"I can't feel the existence of brain matter at all..."
Vito shook his head, and the bullet holes in the temples on both sides closed and disappeared almost instantly, without any blood oozing out, making it look quite strange.
"It seems that the same kind you and you will not be any threat to me in the future."
He turned his head and looked at the revolver that had been with him for many years, and sighed with regret, "As a matter of fact, there was no accident that one in ten thousand. The devil fruit illustration is really not bullying me. It is indeed his natural system."
