On the gibecks sword.
Newgate watched the group return, and the first thing he noticed was Fang Huo, who had grown devilish bat wings.
Those mysterious patterns... it really was a Mythical Zoan Type ability!
"You're in a good mood, Fang Huo!"
Seeing the smile on Fang Huo's face, Newgate's mood improved as well; when his partners were happy, he was happy.
"Hahaha, it's alright. I successfully found this Vampire Ability!"
Fang Huo suddenly transformed into a blood shadow and teleported next to Newgate to show off his new ability.
"The potential of this ability is very strong!"
Honestly, Rocks was truly a bit envious. This was a Mythical Zoan Type ability that could grant eternal youth.
As for the restrictions and side effects like consuming blood, in his eyes, it was not a problem at all.
This evil Devil Fruit had been sealed away by ancient powerhouses, perhaps because the previous user had been recklessly consuming blood, eventually causing public outrage.
"Vampire? Fang Huo, are you going to turn into a monster?"
Newgate looked at Fang Huo with a strange expression. Clearly, there were many legends and stories about Vampires on the sea.
"Newgate, power is not divided into good or evil; only people are divided into good or evil!"
"Of course, we aren't necessarily good people ourselves."
"Look at this guy Rocks; he is the worlds worst pirate who killed an Admiral."
Fang Huo chuckled, quickly familiarizing himself with his Vampire Ability. He felt that there were still many directions to develop this ability.
Redfield only cared about the ability to restore youth, ignoring the other mysterious powers of this Mythical Zoan Type ability.
"Power is not divided into good or evil, only people are divided into good or evil..."
"Gurarara, I can't win an argument against you, the chief strategist who uses his brain."
Newgate savored Fang Huo's words. This Prophet always managed to say things full of wisdom and philosophy.
Actually, he acknowledged Fang Huo as the first mate.
But since even Rocks didn't need to be called Captain on the ship, Newgate couldn't be bothered to call Fang Huo first mate either.
"Stop being smug here, you wasted so many days of our time! Let's go, we're going to find Gangster Shiki!"
At Rocks' command, the gibecks sword quickly set off, heading towards the middle section of the New World.
However, with Fang Huo becoming stronger and stronger, Rocks didn't need to worry about the safety of this Prophet.
"Rocks, you're just jealous of me!"
"I heard that some Devil Fruits have their own consciousness and will seek out their own masters."
"With your personality, I guess the Sun God Nika Fruit, which represents light and liberation, wouldn't like you. The Dark-Dark Fruit Ability would definitely suit you better."
Fang Huo sat on the mast and spoke with a smile. Although he also wanted to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, since Rocks wanted it, Fang Huo would stop coveting it for the time being.
Anyway, his Soul Fire had the ability to directly devour and fuse Devil Fruits.
Apart from the ability to seal powers, the other aspects of the Dark-Dark Fruit Ability were dispensable to Fang Huo.
Of course, Fang Huo wasn't confident that he would encounter the Dark-Dark Fruit in this era.
Maybe by the time something happened to Rocks, the Dark-Dark Fruit still wouldn't have appeared.
If it could really be found, it wouldn't be unacceptable for Rocks to eat it.
"Hmph! Davy Jones is just like Joy Boy; neither of them would fear Imu!"
"Even without the Sun God Nika Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit Ability is still very strong!"
Rocks was initially a bit annoyed, but upon thinking about it, was Fang Huo reminding him that the Sun God Nika Fruit ability wasn't suitable for him?
"Fang Huo, do Devil Fruits really have consciousness?"
Newgate was a bit shocked. Would there be a devil consciousness in his Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability, and would it affect him?
"Generally, only high-level Mythical Zoan Type fruits have their own consciousness."
"Of course, ordinary Zoan types also have instinctive consciousness."
"I've heard that when a Zoan type ability awakens, if the user's consciousness cannot suppress the consciousness of the Devil Fruit, the awakening will fail, and they will become a clueless, foolish awakened user."
Fang Huo began to explain to these illiterates who had basically never been to school.
Except for Rocks, who had the inherited clan teachings of the Davy Clan, Newgate, Babel, and Sanbel were truly uneducated and had started struggling to survive from a young age.
"Zoan type abilities actually have such dangers?!"
Sanbel widened his eyes. Fortunately, he had never thought about eating a Devil Fruit.
Otherwise, not only would he become a hammer, but when the time came for awakening, he might even become a fool.
The Devil Fruit truly deserved to be called the curse of the sea.
"Then why did you still eat a Mythical Zoan Type ability?"
Newgate looked at the devilish bat wings on Fang Huo with some concern.
"Heh, any powerhouse capable of developing a Devil Fruit to the awakened state is someone with an iron will. How could it be so easy to be occupied by the devil's remnant consciousness?"
"This kind of awakening generally doesn't have problems."
"Unless it's someone who took a shortcut, the chance of awakening failure would be greatly increased."
"The World Government's scientific unit is probably already researching shortcuts for rapid awakening. In the future, the World Government will have a batch of brainless ability users who failed their awakening."
"They possess the powerful recovery of Zoan awakened users, but because their consciousness is occupied by the devil's remnant, they are like fools and their combat power isn't that strong."
Fang Huo thought of the Jailer Beasts in Impel Down. The World Government must have taken a key step in the research of Zoan awakening.
Later on, Rob Lucci and Kaku were both able to awaken their abilities within two years; there must be some kind of shortcut method.
This method was highly dangerous, but both of them succeeded in awakening.
"So that's how it is. first mate, you are truly knowledgeable..."
Sanbel was completely won over by Fang Huo, the Prophet and chief strategist, and acknowledged this wise first mate.
"Zoan type fruits have devil consciousness, but what about Logia type and Paramecia Type?"
Newgate quickly noticed this point; Fang Huo had only mentioned Zoan types just now.
"I'm not sure about that. At least in the future I've seen so far, there is no information on this aspect."
Fang Huo shrugged, indicating he really didn't know.
"That's good!"
Newgate's mood eased up a bit. His Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability shouldn't have any other hidden dangers.
"Even Zoan awakening can be researched? The foundation of the World Government is truly terrifying. It seems I need to find a scientist!"
Under Fang Huo's explanation, a new idea was born in Rocks.
Originally, he looked down on those weak scientists; he only needed powerful Executives.
But now, with Fang Huo's 'reminder', he began to attach importance to scientific knowledge.
"You want to find a scientist?"
Mentioning scientists, Fang Huo immediately thought of Stussy, the [scientific bandit] on the Rocks Pirates ship.
Right now, Fang Huo hadn't even collected any information about Stussy. He didn't even know where this woman was doing research or when she would go to sea to become a pirate.
"Do you have any recommendations? Fang Huo!"
Rocks suddenly looked at Fang Huo with anticipation. He felt that Fang Huo must have a target in mind.
"There will indeed be a female Executive on the Rocks Pirates ship known as the [scientific bandit]."
"But there is currently no information about her on the sea."
"Perhaps she will go to sea in a year or two."
Fang Huo thought for a moment before speaking. Stussy was two years older than Newgate; what kind of powerful scientist could a 20-year-old be?
This woman was originally a fraud; even if she joined Vegapunk's MADS team, she was just a research figure who did nothing
