Chapter 480: The Birth of Artificial Devil Fruits
“Is this the artificial Devil Fruit you researched?”
Hakuto held the artificial Devil Fruit in his hand and asked Bai Yuekui.
Hakuto hadn’t originally believed that Bai Yuekui could create an artificial Devil Fruit. After all, she only had one Azure Dragon Fruit to experiment with. But who knew, she actually succeeded?
“In the Little Garden, I continuously fed the Azure Dragon Fruit to ordinary criminals sentenced to death. After they ate it, I recorded their physical changes and then killed them. The Devil Fruit would, as expected, be reborn in the Little Garden.”
“So for me, this wasn’t a problem. As long as the Devil Fruit could be reborn, I could continuously research and categorize, and finally summarize, thus creating this artificial Devil Fruit.”
Hearing this, Hakuto gave Bai Yuekui a thumbs-up. “You’re truly amazing. You actually managed to research this.”
“Have you tried this artificial Devil Fruit?”
Holding this golden Devil Fruit, Hakuto asked Bai Yuekui.
“Don’t worry. Would I give it to you to eat if I hadn’t experimented with it?”
Bai Yuekui rolled her eyes. Hakuto smiled and didn’t say much more. He glanced at Bai Yuekui and asked, “What about the weakness of the Devil Fruit?”
“I’ve also solved the weakness of the Devil Fruit. But there will be some small aftereffects.”
Hakuto: ???
“This Devil Fruit is a dragon, so some dragon characteristics will appear in you.”
“For example?”
Hakuto looked at Bai Yuekui strangely. Bai Yuekui looked up at the ceiling. “You know how dragons are by nature lustful, right? So your desires will probably be a bit stronger than ordinary people.”
Hakuto looked at Bai Yuekui, then said to her, “You wouldn’t be using this as an excuse…”
“Shut up. If you don’t believe me, eat it yourself and see.”
After speaking, she directly stuffed the Devil Fruit into Hakuto’s mouth. Hakuto directly ate it.
Then, the next moment, a layer of golden scales seemed to flash across Hakuto’s body surface, and a touch of gold appeared in his eyes.
A thick pressure emanated from his body, but it disappeared in a flash. Then Hakuto noticed that there did seem to be a fire burning in his heart.
Hakuto didn’t hold back. He directly picked up Bai Yuekui.
Since Boss Bai had already come to him willingly, how could Hakuto bear to refuse?
After a bout of battle, Hakuto asked Bai Yuekui, who was lazily lying on top of him, “Can artificial fruits only create Azure Dragon Fruits? Have you tried making any other Devil Fruits?”
“Through my research on the dinosaurs in the Little Garden, I can now basically create Devil Fruits for all the creatures in the Little Garden.”
“Then what about Logia and Paramecia types? Do you have any ideas? Can you make them? I’m very interested in some Logia and Paramecia type Devil Fruits.”
“Not for now. But give me some time, and I believe I can research them.”
“Alright. Then I’ll leave it to you.”
After a while, Hakuto and Bai Yuekui both got dressed. Bai Yuekui kissed Hakuto and then left to return home.
Hakuto returned home. Ophis looked at him and said, “You’ve turned into a dragon?”
Lucoa also put down her game console, looked at Hakuto, carefully sensed for a moment, and said, “He has indeed become a dragon. But I can’t sense any dragon bloodline. It’s like an empty shell.”
Hakuto didn’t hide anything. He told Lucoa and Ophis about the Devil Fruit. After listening, Lucoa and Ophis looked at Hakuto in surprise. They hadn’t expected that someone could become a dragon this way.
Ophis looked at Hakuto. “Then do you want to become a true dragon?”
“I haven’t considered it yet. When I’ve thought it over, I’ll give you an answer.”
Ophis nodded cutely and didn’t say anything more, then continued playing with her phone. Lucoa looked at Hakuto as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lucoa looked at Hakuto. “I think you could become a dragon. Your strength would increase a lot.”
“If in the future I encounter a monster that only humans can kill, I wouldn’t even have a chance to regret it.”
Hearing Hakuto say this, although Lucoa didn’t know what kind of monster required a human to kill, since Hakuto said it, maybe there really was, so she didn’t press further.
Although Hakuto had gained the power of this Devil Fruit, he could actually nullify the Devil Fruit through his control over his body. That meant Hakuto could exclude this Devil Fruit at any time.
So strictly speaking, Hakuto wasn’t really a Devil Fruit user. He just found the Devil Fruit’s power somewhat interesting and kept it temporarily. When he no longer wanted it, he could just discard it at will.
A Devil Fruit is just a Devil Fruit after all.
Then Hakuto went to America again.
He was determined to obtain this Legendary Cooking Utensil no matter what. As long as he got this one, he would have only two pieces left to solve the problem.
Returning to Tifa’s house, Hakuto was somewhat surprised to see Tifa, Wanda, and Aerith getting along so harmoniously.
“You three seem to be getting along quite well?”
“Of course. After all, we’re going to be sisters from now on.”
Tifa glanced at Hakuto. Hakuto smiled and walked over.
Then he picked up Tifa and placed her on his lap.
“You have another woman’s scent on you. This scent is Boss Bai’s.”
“You can distinguish by smell? And didn’t I take a shower?”
“Hmph. Don’t underestimate a woman’s sense of smell, and don’t underestimate a woman’s ability to catch a cheater.”
Hakuto smiled bitterly, kissed Tifa, and didn’t say anything more. Aerith and Wanda looked at Tifa with intense curiosity.
“Alright, then as compensation for getting caught cheating, I’ll take you all shopping. All expenses paid by me?”
“It’s a deal.”
Tifa’s eyes immediately lit up. The same went for Aerith and Wanda.
