Chapter 249 The Nika Fruit is about to awaken!

"Pirates are evil guys!"

"Those who burn, kill, rob, destroy the country, and bully the weak are all pirates!"

"I won't do that!"

"So, you're not a pirate, you're an adventurer, Luffy!"

"No, I'm a pirate!"

Serious disputes rarely occur in the Straw Hat Pirates, but Luffy is unusually persistent in this matter.

The crew respected the captain's dream and said nothing more.
I just don't understand a little bit.
Because Luffy’s dream, to be honest, is not to become the Pirate King.

Instead, get the most precious treasure in this ocean and become the freest person in this ocean!

Nami couldn't understand.

It's like she wants to draw all the sea charts in the world,

But suddenly someone jumped out and said that what you drew was not a nautical chart but a world map, and it would be more appropriate to call it not the King of Nautical Charts but the King of World Maps.

So what?
Drawing a nautical chart is my dream. No matter it is called a world map, a universe map, or a galaxy map, it will not interfere with the realization of my dream.

Sauron couldn't understand either.
His dream is to become the strongest swordsman. It doesn't matter even if he suddenly changes his name to the strongest swordsman, the strongest sword god, or the strongest ghost swordsman.

What needs to be valued is the process of realizing dreams.

But after the Adventurer's Declaration appeared, Luffy gave people a very strange feeling.

just like,
The title of Pirate King is like a shackle that binds him and he cannot break free.

"Nami, how long has it been since you drew a sea chart?"

Sanji, who always had hearts in his eyes when he saw Nami, suddenly asked this question very seriously.

Nami was stunned for a moment and said, "Haitu, I've been busy recently, so I've been away for two weeks."

She didn't know why Sanji asked this.
But then he realized something was wrong.
In the past, no matter how the ship sailed or which island it reached, I would always draw out the nearby sea features and make a nautical chart to keep close to me.

But now, without realizing it, I haven't drawn a nautical chart for two weeks.
This would have been impossible before.

what happened?

Is it because of the emergence of the reincarnation game that I am too tired and cannot spare the time to fulfill my dream?
Seeing Nami's expression,
Sanji didn't explain much, but glanced at Zoro who was leaning against the table and drinking heavily, but his eyes had also become sharp and thoughtful.

Turning to leave, he said, "I'm leaving Xiluobu Village tomorrow. I need to collect some spice seeds. Can Usopp take me?"

"Of course, there is no place on the entire island that I don't know!"

Usopp is very happy.
His dream is to become a brave sea warrior, so going to sea with like-minded partners is what he wants to do most.

And now, he felt something different from these people compared to ordinary pirates. Yes, they should indeed be called adventurers.

"Master, the Rubber Fruit you asked me to focus on is almost awakening."

Inside the game room, Ah Fu's sweet and innocent voice suddenly rang out.

Fang Yi raised his hand and brushed it across the counter, and saw the Straw Hat Pirates who had just left West Rob Village.

The atmosphere should have been lively and exciting, but at this moment it felt a little strange.

Except for Usopp, who had just boarded the ship and was not aware of the situation, the rest of the crew members had their own thoughts.

After seeing the situation, Fang Yi smiled and said, "No wonder, it was because of Shanks' adventurer declaration that the Straw Hat Pirates crew members noticed something was wrong."

Ah Fu asked in confusion, "Something's wrong?" Fang Yi smiled and nodded, "Because of the reincarnation game, Luffy has become stronger and stronger, and the rubber fruit that carries Nika's will in his body has also begun to constantly interfere with the thoughts of those around him."

"The Rubber Fruit contains the free will of the warriors who liberated themselves from the great war eight hundred years ago!"

"The most terrifying thing about this will is that even though it has disappeared for countless years, people like the Giants and the Bakannis still believe in it and look forward to its arrival."

"Therefore, this huge will will influence the people around it according to its own wishes and spread the so-called [free will]."

"When the fruit ability is not developed, the will of the Liberation Warrior is dormant, so the tendency to infect the people around is relatively small."

"Now, due to the intervention of the reincarnation game, the will residing in the fruit has begun to awaken itself."

Fang Yi did not expect that the consciousness of the pirate world would be so impatient.

This is inevitable.

In the original,
The Straw Hat Pirates' crew members Zoro, Nami, Chopper, Sanji, Franky, and Usopp all go out to sea with their own dreams. Some want to search for food in the sea, some want to draw a world map, develop a panacea, and so on.

These were the crew's own will, but in the end they were gradually forgotten.

They were all disturbed by the Nika Fruit, and finally followed Straw Hat Luffy, making protecting Luffy to become the Pirate King their greatest wish.

Even Luffy himself has forgotten his original intention of going to sea.

However, Shanks' sudden adventurer declaration that shocked the world made the Straw Hat Crew, who were unaware of the disturbance, fail to notice anything unusual.

just,

Without external intervention, even if something is wrong, it cannot be changed.

After all, Luffy alone cannot defeat the [Will of Liberation] that has been passed down for 800 years and even the World Government is afraid of it.

Ah Fu was a little unsure and said: "So, Straw Hat Luffy is actually a jailer beast?"

"Not counting."

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Animal-type fruits all contain will. Only when they are devoured by will, that is, when they fail to awaken, will they become jailer beasts."

"A monster with no self-awareness, only knowing how to kill."

"And the will of the Nika Fruit is more inclined to subtle guidance."

Devil Fruit is a magical fruit that appears from human desires and beliefs. Among them, the most powerful belief and will belongs to the liberation fighters who have been passed down to this day, the sun god who is called and longed to return by countless people.

The origin contained therein is extremely vast.

just,

Fang Yi did not have any expectations. After all, if he wanted to get the origin, Luffy had to willingly exchange it for the Nika Fruit.

However, with Luffy's mental strength, he would be disturbed by Nika as soon as he had the slightest thought.

The possibility of defeating Nika, who is eagerly awaited by countless people, with one's own will alone is extremely small and can be ignored.

Ah Fu was eating the juicy meat in his mouth, looking at Luffy who looked normal in the picture, and asked: "How pitiful! Are we just going to watch like this, Straw Hat Luffy being disturbed?"

"That depends on whether he can burst out a will that exceeds his limit. Even if it's just for a short moment, he can be redeemed."

"His destiny is in his own hands."

While talking,
The Merry, which was gradually sailing out of the port, was stopped by a huge figure.
