A certain scientific pirate

Slaughtering all over the world, conquering ten countries, looking at the vast sky, no one can defeat him, cutting through the waves, crisscrossing the great sea route, treating dangerous enemies as nothing... Just reading this diary, Mo Fei can feel the domineering power of galloping across the ocean.

"Aurel Pandonia" has not been seen in history. His real active time was five or six hundred years ago, but it is conceivable that he must be a great pirate and great swordsman who traverses the world... ...This is revealed through the words in the diary. There are some things that little people cannot express.

Maybe this person will be a "Rocks" type pirate... Mo Fei thought.

"April 7, 1929.

With all the loose ends taken care of, it was finally time to actually implement the plan.

It is precisely because I have stood at the top and experienced what it means to be truly powerful that I can no longer stand my own decline. Time... time is an enemy I cannot defeat.

No, not necessarily.

The island above has been flattened, and I am hiding in an underwater cave. This is a very safe way to hide.

It's time to get started.

I hope the information I got is accurate..."

"April 10, 1929.

My body started to feel stiff, my hands and feet were numb, it was difficult to make precise movements, and my writing was not smooth..."

After these two consecutive diaries, Mo Fei turned back and found that time began to jump significantly.

"July 1973? Or August, I'm not sure.

I was attacked by pirates and killed.

I fell into darkness. I don’t know how long it took before my consciousness returned to my body. As expected, my memory was continuous.

The experiences of decades ago are also unforgettable.

About a week after eating that Devil Fruit, I suddenly lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I found myself lying naked on a beach...in a very young state.

It seemed like I had truly achieved immortality.

Regardless, eternal life is eternal life.

How is the main body still alive? Is it really photosynthesis? Praise the sun. "

"1066.

I aged again, so I killed myself.

This time I figured out how this Devil Fruit ‘works’.

After eating the Devil Fruit, my true body began to 'tree-form'. My consciousness would remain for a period of time, and then I would fall into a coma. At this time, my tree-formed body would begin to 'flower and bear fruit', forming a body in a bud. The new body, the 'clone', my consciousness will also be transferred to the clone...

I will regain consciousness only after the flower buds float a certain distance away from the main body.

This process reminded me of a certain fairy tale spread in a remote and closed country called Wano Country.

After the external clone dies, my consciousness will return to the original body again, and the process will repeat.

The main body is no longer able to move and has become more severely transformed into a tree.

Writing becomes very difficult..."

"1066.

Mistakes.

This time he encountered a storm just after he was reborn and was drowned at sea.

I discovered a new rule, that is, after my clone comes close to a certain range of the main body, the consciousness will return to the main body uncontrollably. This may be because there is a priority suppression between the main body and the clone. "

"1100 years.

I am almost unable to write, and my body is about to completely transform into a tree.

I made a terrible discovery. As the number of times I was reborn increased, the physical quality of my clones decreased.

As a swordsman, although my sword skills have improved with the increase of experience, my combat effectiveness has been continuously declining due to the drag of my body...

What’s even more unacceptable is that after my body completely transformed into a tree, my clones seemed to have become rigid, even the new ones.

I……

It’s like seeing the end of life again…”

Mo Fei turned another page and found that the diary had stopped abruptly.

"12..."

Well, Oriel Pandonia has completely completed the "tree transformation".

It can be inferred from this diary that the unknown Devil Fruit did extend the life of this great pirate, but "immortality" is still a joke. According to the phenomenon that his clone will gradually weaken each time he is reborn, it can be seen that the number of rebirths is also limited.

The reason is simple. Even if trees have a longer life than humans, this life is also limited.

After Oriel Pandonia, who had lived for five or six hundred years, came to this life, he was imprisoned in Impel Down City early, the "Old Prisoner", and then he realized that he had had enough.

No, he should have started to hesitate earlier, but he just hadn't made up his mind yet. He had even made corresponding preparations... such as throwing another devil fruit into the cave, if necessary. The main body can commit suicide by chewing a mouthful of it.

Since the old prisoner's consciousness cannot exist in both the clone and the main body at the same time, this kind of projection should be quite difficult to achieve.

Well, there is no point in guessing the other party's mental journey, and these guesses cannot be verified. In short, the old prisoner finally asked Mo Fei to come here to kill "Aurel Pandonia"... He should understand his own identity State, knowing that "suicide" is a meaningless act, so I ask for help from a third party.

Mo Fei threw the diary on the stone table, and then saw a burst of smoke and dust rising.

"Devil Fruit, what on earth is it..."

Feeling like she had read a fantasy story that was quite divorced from reality, Mo Fei couldn't help but sigh like this. It's just... Although it sounds bizarre, Devil Fruit can indeed do such a thing.

Compared to pulling the soul back from the underworld, resurrecting the bones, or achieving true immortality, the "vegetative" in front of you is not that exaggerated.

Mo Fei cleaned up the surrounding branches and kicked the stone table aside, completely revealing the "human shape" at the roots of the plants.

He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and then...the other party didn't react at all, just like a piece of wood.

Well, not like a piece of wood, but just a piece of wood.

For a moment, Mo Fei hoped that the other party would open his eyes. It would be particularly interesting to have a serious chat with a person who lived five or six hundred years ago. However... this was impossible.

But...well, Mo Fei decided to practice the old prisoner's 281 sword skills seriously after returning. Even at this time, he already believed the other party's claim that his sword skills were the best in the world - after practicing After five hundred years of sword training, Sow has become a swordsman.

Human beings cannot transcend "experience", and the more time accumulates, the more precious it becomes. At this moment, Mo Fei finally faced up to the value of that set of swordsmanship.

Mo Fei put one hand on the hilt of the sword. The long sword in his hand was mixed with seastone. Whether it was cutting down a tree or killing a person with abilities, it was a simple matter. The solution to the "tree man" in front of him was between him and the old man. Agreement between prisoners.

It was just cutting down a tree, so he had no psychological burden.

But there's no rush yet.

Mo Fei temporarily let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand, because removing the plant might cause the cave to collapse, so before that he decided to search the inside of the cave.

Precious metals and gems worth hundreds of millions are not worth paying too much attention to. Although the treasure is moving, for Mo Fei, it is a "renewable resource". Where can I not get money? The worst thing is to go fishing.

After searching around for a while, he finally found a round object in a corner - a Devil Fruit, which even came with an "instruction manual".

The old prisoner once told what kind of fruit it was, and it was the reward he promised to Mo Fei.

In fact, the set of sword skills alone is enough to drive Mo Fei to action, but he will not refuse the extra part.

Mo Fei swept away the dust on the Devil Fruit and found that this "fruit" that was thrown here who knows how many years ago still looked very fresh.

“Is there really no problem with the shelf life?”

Of course Mo Fei won't eat another Devil Fruit directly, he doesn't want to die yet. Looking at this fruit, he suddenly came up with a guess... Is it because Devil Fruits are so unpalatable because there are many "expired" products in them?

There is a possibility, the shelf life of fruits is very short.
