Chapter 247 Return to Alabasta
Uchiha Feiyu only knew a little about the matter of Usopp and the Golden Merry and didn't care much about it. However, another piece of news attracted his attention.
"A weird pirate ship, and a guy with this appearance, this guy should be Blackbeard!"
Looking at the portrait provided by Baroque Works in his hand, Uchiha Feiyu immediately recognized the identity of the guy in front of him with a beard, dark skin, a big belly and missing teeth. He was the strange alien Blackbeard.
The Baroque Studio has now become an agent of the Alabasta royal family. Among them is a pair of strange animals known as unlucky, a combination of an otter and an eagle. They are considered to be the most outstanding intelligence agents in the entire Alabasta.
In addition, animals generally do not attract much attention, and even have a friendly aura (in the cover page story, even many cold-blooded boss pirates are caring towards animals), so this animal combination directly drew a portrait of Blackbeard without attracting attention.
"He should have been chasing after the Straw Hat Boy and Ace the Fire Fist! But was he chased away by Bell in the end?"
Today, Bell has awakened the Falcon Fruit. After the awakening of the Devil Fruit, he easily learned the two-color domineering. In terms of strength, he is considered a master even among the vice admirals of the navy.
This strength may not be enough to deal with Blackbeard, but it is enough to make this guy feel fearful.
After all, Bell is the captain of the Alabasta Guard and he is not a lone wolf. Not to mention that Ace with the Fire Fist may appear at any time. After weighing the pros and cons, it is a normal choice for Blackbeard to retreat.
This guy has a very clear purpose. Without any benefits, he has no intention of fighting a strong enemy.
Moreover, Blackbeard also wants to obtain the status of Shichibukai. In order to obtain this status, he can no longer act recklessly. Alabasta is not a small country like Magnum. Even with the navy and the World Government, Alabasta has a certain influence.
Blackbeard left Alabasta, but Uchiha Feiyu did not want to give up. With his current strength, even if he did not crush Blackbeard, he still had a huge advantage.
If Uchiha Feiyu could kill Blackbeard in advance and obtain the secret of this guy's alien body and the Dark-Dark Fruit, his strength and potential would increase again.
Although the vampire fruit is good, it is definitely not as good as the dark-dark fruit in terms of pure potential. This fruit that represents darkness and gravity is essentially a superposition of conceptual and basic physical forces. If its potential is fully triggered by the Future Immortal Sutra, even Uchiha Feiyu can hardly estimate how powerful it will be.
"Then there are only two things left...find a way to capture Blackbeard, and promote faith in Alabasta!"
The potential of the vampire fruit has not yet been fully explored, but the power of faith has been completely used up. It would probably take more than ten years to fully develop the potential of this fruit relying solely on the faith that is naturally generated every day. Therefore, promoting faith is imperative.
Let’s put the matter of Blackbeard aside for now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway. As for promoting faith, the sooner and the better.
In the Alabasta Palace, a blood-red stream of light fell from the sky and condensed into the figure of Uchiha Feiyu. After landing, he looked at the guards around him who had eyes mixed with surprise, fear and admiration. His face was expressionless, but he nodded slightly in his heart.
Ever since returning to Alabasta, Uchiha Feiyu has begun to show off his power in front of people. Fortunately, the various abilities brought by the vampire fruit that has entered the mythical realm are indeed conspicuous enough. In addition, he is powerful and has a great reputation, so the effect of this kind of pretending to be a god is surprisingly good.
Not to mention the ordinary civilians of Alabasta, even those knowledgeable palace guards now look at Uchiha Feiyu as if he were a god.
"You are worthy of being Princess Weiwei's fiancé. I feel cold all over just by looking at me!"
"It's so horrible. I heard that all the rebels who fought against this prince were beaten to death!"
"It is said that this prince is a god of slaughter born from blood, and his favorite thing to do is to fight and kill."
"Uh... if you put it that way, wouldn't Princess Weiwei be in danger?"
"I heard that it was the kindhearted Princess Weiwei who couldn't bear it and sealed the terrible demon king with her kindness, which made him turn over a new leaf..."
"Princess Weiwei is so pitiful. I never thought that as a princess, she would be willing to sacrifice herself to this extent for us citizens!"
Uchiha Feiyu's observation Haki and the ability of the Devil Fruit have been fused and developed to the point where he can cover the entire city and read minds. Naturally, he cannot hide what these guards say or what they are thinking.
After listening to the discussion of the group of guards behind him, Uchiha Feiyu's face was full of black lines. What the hell is this? It was a little bit reliable at the beginning, but it was simply unbearable at the end. He was being treated as an evil god and a great demon king!
But if he is regarded as the evil god, then he is the evil god! Anyway, it does not hinder me from harvesting faith, or in other words, this kind of evil god faith may spread faster in a short period of time.
As he entered the palace, Uchiha Feiyu immediately saw Princess Vivi, who was wearing a blue dress and had a smile on her face.
"Fei Yu, you're here! I heard that you went to the new world this time. What is it like there?"
Princess Vivi has not been idle during this period. Alabasta has just experienced a rebellion, and this extremely friendly princess is needed to appease the people, so she has been traveling around Alabasta to give speeches.
Alabasta was actually not very peaceful after the rebellion was quelled. Fortunately, it had the protection of Baroque Works, and Princess Vivi herself was not a powerless vase. Although some problems were encountered, they were easily solved.
However, because of this, today is the first day that Princess Vivi has met Uchiha Feiyu.
As soon as they met, the princess came to Uchiha Feiyu with a curious look on her face, pulled his arm, stared at him with her big watery eyes, and asked.
It can be seen from Princess Vivi's own experience that she is not a person who follows the rules. If she did not have the responsibility and concern of Alabasta, she might have been a pirate. Naturally, she is very curious about Uchiha Feiyu's experience.
"Okay, okay, stop shaking me. I'm going to tell you now..."
The shaking arm suddenly turned into many blood-red bats, flew out of Weiwei's hand, and then returned to Uchiha Feiyu's shoulder and condensed into his arm, which immediately made the princess' eyes widen. "This is my harvest this time - animal type, mythical beast, vampire fruit!"
"Oh, that's amazing! So Feiyu, you went to the New World just for this devil fruit?"
Princess Vivi actually doesn’t know much about devil fruits. After all, the first half of the Grand Line is not the New World, and various powerful devil fruits rarely appear here.
But no matter what, as a princess of a country, even if she has never seen such a powerful mythical beast, she has at least seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and knows the power of the mythical beast devil fruit - that is a devil fruit that is even more powerful and rarer than the ordinary natural type.
In fact, even the most common mythical beasts have at least the powerful physique and extraordinary power of an animal-type devil fruit, which is equivalent to the combination of a powerful ancient devil fruit and a superhuman devil fruit.
"Almost... I finally fulfilled my wish. This mythical beast fruit is considered the best among all devil fruits."
"By the way, Weiwei, do you want a devil fruit? When I came back this time, I happened to encounter a group of blind pirates. Although their strength is not very good, the leader of the pirates has a good devil fruit ability."
After possessing the Future Immortality Sutra, Uchiha Feiyu no longer worried about the sequelae caused by the transfer of the devil fruit. The magnet fruit itself did not carry too much power of faith.
However, as the princess of Alabasta, Vivi is kind, sweet-looking, and extremely friendly. She has a great power of faith and can easily practice the Future Life Sutra to a certain level, which can eliminate any sequelae of the devil fruit.
Even with Uchiha Feiyu's development of the vampire fruit, after integrating the power of blood nerves, he will be able to directly extract the devil fruit ability from the body of a living person. Even if Princess Vivi wants a better devil fruit in the future, she can directly replace it.
"Devil Fruit? What kind of devil fruit?"
Princess Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked.
Having been forced into a desperate situation by Baroque Works and having experienced the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Vivi herself is absolutely eager for power.
However, devil fruits have different strengths. Although Uchiha Feiyu said it was a good devil fruit, Vivi must also know what kind of devil fruit it is before making a decision.
"It's a parahuman magnetism fruit. With this devil fruit, one can control the power of the magnetic field. In the early stages, it can manipulate metals. If it is developed to its limit, it can change the magnetic field of the island, automatically fly, use a super-electromagnetic gun, and even open up micro wormholes."
Regarding the power of magnetic fields, without considering those magnetic field systems that have nothing to do with science and are definitely impossible to restore in the world of One Piece, the strongest one that Uchiha Feiyu imagined naturally belongs to Magneto in American comics.
The Magneto in American comics is not the Magneto in the movies. Relying on his ability to control magnetic fields, he can create wormholes for teleportation at the microscopic level, and reverse the magnetic fields at the poles of the planet to destroy humanity at the macroscopic level. He can be described as a bug mutant of the world-destroying level - it's just that there are too many bug characters in American comics, so he doesn't seem very outstanding.
In fact, this level is enough. If Princess Vivi can really develop to the level of Magneto, it will be more than enough to overturn the Red Earth Continent, destroy Marijoa, and rule the entire pirate world. Let’s not talk about whether she has the heart to do so or not, but her strength is absolutely sufficient.
After listening to Uchiha Feiyu's introduction, Princess Weiwei was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and shook her head:
"I don't think this fruit can exert its full power in my hands. Uh... Although I'm a little shy, I've never passed any science courses..."
As the princess of Alabasta, Vivi has received the highest-level private education since childhood, and the courses taught are also very comprehensive. However, Vivi has learned some etiquette or cultural courses quite well, but in science courses, it is almost like listening to a foreign language.
The development of the magnetic fruit naturally also has requirements in natural science. Don't be fooled by Kid's biker-like appearance. In fact, even if he is a biker, he is a steampunk biker. He has a good command of mechanical theory and knowledge.
Even his childhood image in the comics shows him holding a wrench in one hand and a small robot in the other, which shows that he has been very talented in this area since he was a child.
Hearing this, Uchiha Feiyu nodded, and at the same time gave up the idea of giving Princess Vivi the magnetic fruit.
The power of faith brought by the Future Immortality Sutra can only enhance the power of the magnetic fruit. If one wants to fully develop the ability of this fruit related to basic physical force, one's own scientific knowledge is also indispensable.
Even though Magneto graduated from a homely university, his actual knowledge is definitely not less than those PhDs in electromagnetism. And since Princess Vivi is a science nerd, she can basically say goodbye to this basic force type of devil fruit.
"Okay, then I'll see if there's a devil fruit that's suitable for you later... Tsk, this devil fruit is actually best for Nami, but she's definitely not willing to do it."
In terms of power and potential, the Magnet Fruit is definitely far superior to the Slippery Fruit. In terms of compatibility, the Magnet Fruit is more suitable for Nami.
However, the special effects of the slippery fruit are irresistible to almost any woman, and Nami is no exception. Compared with it, her strength can only be ranked second.
Maybe we can wait until Uchiha Feiyu understands the secret of Blackbeard's body structure, and then give the others another devil fruit. As for now, we can only let Captain Kidd go.
"There is one more thing. I need you to help me promote my beliefs in Alabasta so that I can develop a devil fruit."
Princess Vivi was also very clear about how Uchiha Feiyu helped Bell develop the Devil Fruit, and also understood the importance of faith. After listening to Uchiha Feiyu's request, she naturally agreed, but her tone was a little worried:
"There's no problem with promoting faith, but Feiyu, your reputation in Alabasta... well, I can't say it's bad, it's just..."
"It doesn't matter. Whether it's an evil god or a great devil, as long as there's enough faith, I'm not picky."
Uchiha Feiyu waved his hand and said directly. Princess Weiwei was relieved after hearing this, and then said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, I let you take the blame again. No one knows how much you have done in the dark for Alabasta."
Uchiha Feiyu twitched his lips, knowing in his heart that the princess was starting to fantasize again, and didn't say much.
