Chapter 681: The Deity of the New World!
Chapter 681: The Deity of the New World!
Deity.
A familiar yet somewhat foreign term.
After all, the one we hear the most is Sun God.
But that was just a beautiful aspiration from ancient times, and it was a Mythical Beast.
But can this still be considered a deity?
"Are there really deities in the sea?"
Lily asked, "If that's the case, then the former Navy Admiral Sengoku could also be considered a deity."
He was a being with the wisdom and spirit of a Buddha.
Big Mom replied:
"Zoan Devil Fruits have a stronger willpower than other Devil Fruits, and Mythical Beasts have the strongest willpower. However, what sets these fruits named after deities or legends apart is that they were likely recorded as true Mythical Beasts in ancient times, and later evolved into the embodiment of human wishes."
He thought for a moment and continued, "For example, a normal Zoan Devil Fruit might not make an animal that strong, but once it becomes a wish-imbued fruit and is consumed by a human, the enhancement it provides far surpasses that of a regular animal."
Animals like leopards and wolves are not uncommon in the sea. Even if they were larger, they wouldn't be particularly formidable. However, when a human consumes a corresponding Devil Fruit, the physical enhancement they gain, even without Haki, far exceeds the strength of those animals.
This is the power of wishes.
"I see, like Fgo, right?"
Sagel thought of something else and smiled, "The legendary enhancement. After I die, if the sea remembers my name and a new fruit is born from it, it might perfectly inherit, or even surpass, my current abilities. But what does this have to do with deities?"
"Beings that carry human wishes, when they reach a certain level, can undergo a transformation. For example, Sun God Nika is always seen as a legendary freedom fighter who brings laughter and liberates slaves. When the accumulated wishes reach a certain point, they carry the essence of hope."
Big Mom said, "At least, that's my belief. If we boldly speculate, the current Straw Hat Nika might be such a being. After awakening, he always brings laughter and hope. If not for you, he might have defeated Kaido and liberated the people of Wano from Kaido's tyrannical rule."
"This is indeed a power that brings hope, but it's not enough. Sun God has been around for too short a time, and the accumulated wishes are not enough for a transformation. On the other hand, Totemgica, which has been worshipped and believed in since ancient times, might be the embodiment of all music-related totems, or rules."
"However, the power of music is not exclusive to the Singing Fruit. There are other fruits, like the one Ap has. Suppose..."
"Suppose Totemgica is the negative manifestation of wishes and the embodiment of all music. Does this mean that there could be a being who combines all music-related abilities?"
His eyes gleamed with excitement, "If someone could gather all the music-related Devil Fruits and defeat Totemgica, would they then unify all music-related abilities and become the true deity of music!"
"Devil Fruits have a hierarchical structure. If they have a hierarchy, it means they share a fundamental attribute. If all these attributes are gathered, would that mean complete mastery?"
"In the past, people could only consume one Devil Fruit because their bodies could only host one Devil. Even if a powerful person consumed a second, the weaker Devil would be expelled. But with the existence of someone like Blackbeard, who can host two abilities, it suggests that there might be a special constitution that can host more abilities."
"If all similar abilities are gathered, and the negative 'Demon King' is found, could that person become the ultimate form representing their abilities, the"
Big Mom spread his hands, his face filled with the fervor of a researcher, "Deity!"
Faced with Big Mom's fervor, Lily, who was usually adept at interpreting, now seemed somewhat bewildered, not entirely understanding but also somewhat confused.
Sagel, on the other hand, remained unusually silent.
After a while, he motioned for Lily, who understood and leaned over to light a cigar for him.
"Exhale"
The smoke enveloped Sagel's face, obscuring his expression and casting a hazy, dreamlike aura. His usually carefree face now seemed menacing, flickering in and out of view in the smoke.
It was as if a giant beast capable of devouring everything was freely emanating desire in the smoke, sending shivers down one's spine.
"How feasible is it, and what’s the general approach? Give me an idea", Sagel said slowly.
"First, let’s talk about the origin of these abilities. While they do stem from wishes, these wishes are also time-bound, and the world isn’t static. In ancient times, people’s wishes were primarily about controlling natural disasters, which led to the creation of Logia fruits. These are likely the oldest abilities."
"Next are the Mythical Beasts. I believe these have prototypes, which, after being enhanced by ancient wishes, materialized into Devil Fruits. The oldest ones are the Azure Dragon, Phoenix, Buddha, and the legendary Nue from Wano, though this is still under investigation, given that Wano no longer exists."
"Following that are the Ancient Beasts and some older Paramecia abilities. After that, we have ordinary animal forms and more recent Paramecia abilities that we can trace."
This is indeed a complex topic, especially when it comes to Zoan fruits.
Mythical Beasts, legendary creatures—no one knows their exact origins. They mostly exist in legends passed down through generations, with no specific source.
Ancient Beasts, on the other hand, can be traced back to ancient animals like mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and dinosaurs.
However, these are already quite ancient.
You won’t find dinosaurs in the Four Seas; they only exist in the Grand Line.
In the Grand Line, the presence of dinosaurs is due to magnetic field issues that prevent them from evolving alongside the rest of the world, preserving some ancient traits.
Similarly, Paramecia abilities have evolved over time.
The concept of rubber didn’t exist in ancient times, so the Rubber-Rubber Fruit must have appeared relatively recently.
Doflamingo’s String String Fruit might be slightly older, but not by much.
The Paper Paper Fruit is another example; paper didn’t just appear out of nowhere. It’s impossible for such an ability to exist before the invention of paper.
The Steel Melt Fruit, which allows the user to melt steel with high temperatures, also requires the discovery and forging of steel. Some islands in the Grand Line are still in a tribal stage, using stone tools and not even having iron, let alone steel.
So, it can’t be traced back too far.
"The origin of Totemgica is still under investigation. We need more information to determine if there are similar ancient legends. If we can pinpoint the origin of the More More Fruit, that would be ideal."
"However, it’s likely that this ability isn’t as ancient. It might have appeared just a thousand or even a few hundred years ago. Unlike musical abilities, which can be traced back to very ancient times, as long as there was sound, there would be rhythm and melody."
"Since the origin doesn’t exist, if you want to become a deity and wield complete power, you’ll need to create something new."
Big Mom frowned, looking at Sagel with surprise. "It might be a coincidence, or perhaps it’s fate—something that needs further study. Everything you’re doing is leading you in the direction of creation."
"I have to admit, Ohara is a place of great hope, but it’s also a place of deep desire. Every person here is driven by the desire for more. You’re cultivating desire, Sagel."
"Even the pirates across the sea, with all their desires, don’t match the depth of the desire in the people under your rule."
Hearing this, the smoke around Sagel’s face dissipated, and he smiled. "Poor pirates, what do they know? They either chase the empty dream of One Piece or just want to rob more money. But money, to be useful, depends on the local economy."
"On an island that only produces fish, money can only buy fish, not anything else. But here, in my domain, we have everything."
Sagel pointed at Big Mom. "The best technology, the best education."
He then pointed at Lily. "The most efficient governance and the clearest path to advancement."
Finally, he pointed at himself. "The most abundant goods and the most prosperous world."
"Anyone who comes to Ohara will find what they desire!"
Sagel spread his hands wide and clenched them tightly, his expression fierce. "Here, the most powerful desires can exist!"
One Piece!
He despised it even more than the former Belly. Back then, Belly’s ignorance was the reason for his lack of understanding, but Sagel knew better and still despised it.
Especially after entering the New World and gathering intelligence, and with the appearance of Nika, he cared even less.
Rozairogy couldn't obtain it, and Red Hair, who played the role of a prophet, aimed to guide it. An item that most likely required a Sun God to activate held no interest at all.
It couldn't be considered the ultimate treasure.
Only Ohara, Sagel was confident, could become the greatest treasure trove!
"Right, this is Ohara."
Big Mom nodded. "If the source of the More Fruit's power doesn't exist, Sagel, what you need to do is cultivate this additional desire, making it grow until it ultimately brings forth another Totemgica, the manifestation of the desire you represent."
"Relying on time to mature is no longer an option for us, so we must rely on the magnitude of the desire. After all, it is a 'wish.' If you can manifest the product of this desire, then you will be halfway to becoming a deity."
"I don't really care about becoming a deity or not", Sagel waved his hand. "But I understand what you're saying. You want me to acquire all abilities related to the More Fruit and then unify them into a single, 'more' type ability, right?"
"Exactly. The essence of all abilities is like the 'rules' of music. If this research can be achieved, you will be the second, no, since Totemgica is ultimately scattered, you should be the first to master the essence of your abilities, a Deity of the New World!"
Big Mom was excited. "I never thought these 'Extra-dimensions' could be unified. This research is truly magnificent!"
Compared to the research products like life factors and Primordial Fire Seeds, this current research is the greatest.
Once it succeeds...
"Once it succeeds, perhaps we can unlock the secrets of Devil Fruits, allowing everyone in the sea to gain abilities and ushering in an era of abilities for humanity, free from the worries of resource scarcity. Abilities with the nature of wishes will make human survival much easier than infinite energy!"
"You have quite the grand dream, one that only grows and never diminishes, making it prone to problems, hahaha. But that's for later; let's see if you can achieve it first."
Sagel laughed, then thought of something and said cheerfully, "So, if I can obtain all the desire products related to 'more' and succeed, what would I be? An Extra-dimension? That would make me a subspace, should I change my name to Shalis?"
"Shouldn't it be Freeza? The name you often mention", Lily said curiously.
"That's the King of Real Estate, not the King of Desires, hehehehe."
Sagel chuckled. "But if I want to do this, you're disrupting my plans, old Bell. I can assure you, I can consume a second fruit. But the next one is for Tee. The Quake Fruit should belong to me."
Devil Fruits have willpower, but once a person's willpower surpasses the willpower of the wish, it undergoes a transformation.
Sagel was confident that the demon represented by the More Fruit had been completely 'digested' within him. He now embodied the More Fruit itself.
Pure More, a product of human desire, had long been surpassed by Sagel.
The abilities he displayed were beyond what a simple More Fruit could achieve.
Achieving this, combined with his already formidable physique and this boundless recovery willpower, gave him the confidence to digest a second fruit.
In a sense, Sagel himself also represented destruction.
The pursuit of 'more' naturally included more power, capable of causing endless destruction and world-destroying forces that might seek Sagel as their host.
But now, Big Mom's suggestion had disrupted his plans.
"The Darkness Fruit would also work, you need it, Sagel."
Big Mom had a different idea. "The natural disasters represented by the Darkness Fruit, besides being the unknown and feared 'dark phenomena' by humans, should also manifest as 'black holes' in the sky, possibly related to the origins of the Lunarian Race."
"A black hole that absorbs everything also represents the darkness that encompasses everything. Sagel, your desire will encompass everything. That fruit is not incompatible with you. With that fruit, you can become a Deity!"
"For you, whether it's the Darkness Fruit or the Quake Fruit, both are compatible. You can use your willpower to make the Devil Fruit choose. Additionally, it would be best to capture Tee alive; I need to study his constitution."
