One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 383 Newcomers to the Big Family

Today, Roman's house has a new resident.

Seeing its golden appearance, which shines like the sun, and being a plant transformed from the power of Kizaru, Roman simply and directly named it "Sunflower".

Its arrival added to the population of this large family.

Roman bought a new flowerpot to house the plant.

Considering its delicate appearance, Roman even added new soil.

And place it on a window where it can get sunlight.

This is the second plant she has created using the combined efforts of others and her own.

It was very different from the first time the ice crystal flower appeared.

Using the Ice Crystal Flower, no, even touching it, is a form of torture for her body.

Therefore, she almost never used this power in actual combat.

At least when there is a choice, it is unnecessary.

The cold air it emits also has a powerful deterrent effect on the plants here.

Unless there are special circumstances, other plants will not voluntarily enter it.

However, sunflowers seem to have won the favor of most plants here.

From the moment she brought the plant in, she could feel that the plants here were thriving.

There was also anticipation and excitement in it.

They seem to have a great interest in this person.

Roman felt that if it weren't still in his possession, these plants would probably swarm around it and surround it.

It seems the power of light is indeed something to be loved.

After putting down the flowerpot, Roman carefully poked its flower head again.

But all I got was a shy response from the other person.

She is indeed too frail.

Although there weren't any particularly vicious plants in the house, she didn't want to only see a potted plant tomorrow.

So she put a shell on the flowerpot.

Then, he began writing his own notes.

As a Devil Fruit user and a member of the Navy, I naturally bear the corresponding obligations.

A navy can last for 800 years, and such inheritance is naturally unavoidable.

And being in a high position, one naturally has to create more value for the navy.

This includes leaving something for the navy to follow.

There are quite a few Devil Fruit users in the Navy.

Therefore, the use of Devil Fruit abilities is also inherited.

The records of our predecessors are a valuable asset for future generations.

This system, passed down through generations, is also a key reason for the navy's strength.

However, if future generations want to access this record, it will likely be after their own death.

His existence could even be seen as something akin to a will.

Perhaps his will will be very popular in the future, and people will be scrambling to read it.

After thinking about it casually for a while, Roman started taking notes.

The essence of the Mori-Mori Fruit is greed.

Strictly speaking, the Mori-Mori Fruit itself isn't particularly strong in combat.

Its power requires a strong imagination to supplement its strength.

A large part of the power of a Devil Fruit comes from the imagination of the user, that is, the combination of practice and imagination in developing the Devil Fruit itself.

Of course, the in-depth development of a Devil Fruit does not necessarily require the active participation of the user; the Fruit itself also has a passive nature.

That's why, when I was trying to create it, I used food, food in all sorts of ways.

They are very sensitive to energy, which also leads to their very strong appetite.

Different reactions will occur when absorbing energy.

The first type is the most common and ordinary reaction.

After absorbing life, the vines can become thicker and stronger, and their absorption capacity will also become more powerful.

The second method involves absorbing special plants.

The absorption of certain special plants can allow their fruits to create plants that are similar in nature to them.

This is equivalent to developing new power and having more ways to attack.

The third type involves absorbing conceptual power and merging it with the power of others to create plants.

However, Roman paused slightly as he wrote this.

Because she wasn't sure if this statement was reasonable.

Absorbing conceptual power, especially the power of a Devil Fruit, is inherently dangerous.

Because she could sense that the ice crystal flower and the sunflower were the plants with the most concentrated energy.

They are no longer purely plants, but more like a mutant.

They may very well possess even greater power.

But this comes at a price.

Anything that does not belong to one's own power should be rejected.

Roman couldn't guarantee that using his abilities to their fullest extent wouldn't harm his life.

After all, Luffy's example is a living example.

His overdevelopment of his own abilities caused damage to his body.

Moreover, this is a product created by using the power of others.

It's impossible for anyone to have complete access to shortcuts.

The Ice Crystal Flower and the Sunflower are indeed like a magic box, making people irresistibly want to use their power.

But if this power is developed in depth, can one bear the cost?

Roman hesitated slightly.

She had a vague feeling about it.

If I can successfully control these two plants, my strength will probably improve by leaps and bounds.

This also means that one can indirectly control a portion of the power of ice and light by using this composite plant.

But whether I can handle it is really hard to say.

There are quite a few smart people in the Science Department.

For the current world governments, what they want is military power.

This has led scientists to try to replicate the ability.

Many of them are "volunteers".

But then it all disappeared without a trace.

Needless to say, there was no result.

Perhaps because they know that the human body is not strong enough to withstand force, they have turned their attention to replicating force in machines.

So, can I be different?
