Gamer Gamer Fruit
On second thought, what I want is an MC who strives to be strong, not an MC who is strong. So the devil fruit eaten by Eto is a fruit that gives him unlimited potential not unlimited power.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Eto's gaze then shifted to a small, leafless tree in front of the cubic stele.
The tree had been standing there since Eto discovered this place.
There was only one fruit hanging from the tree, resembling an apple, but its strange color and texture made Eto reluctant to approach, let alone touch it.
Despite this, Eto still approached the tree.
Based on his intuition, the fruit on this tree was very special and crucial for his future. Eto had strong faith in his intuition, as it had saved his life several times before.
As he picked the peculiar fruit of the tree, a strangeness occurred suddenly. The tree began to wither as if something was absorbing every fluid within its body before crumbling into dust.
Eto stared at the event with wide eyes in disbelief, repeatedly looking at the strange fruit in his hand and then back at the now disintegrated tree.
Eto could only shake his head at the strangeness of the occurrence.
He stared intently at the odd fruit in his hand, his forehead furrowed in thought.
He briefly considered discarding the peculiar fruit, but his intuition urged him to eat it now. Eto weighed his options for what to do next.
He was no longer a purposeless person, living like an unfeeling robot. He now had a grand purpose: to find a lifelong partner to accompany him till death do them part.
Something he had considered impossible until he witnessed a marriage ceremony unfold before his eyes just a day ago. So, it was no longer an impossible dream.
Difficult, perhaps, but not impossible.
Eto didn't know what obstacles and dangers he would face to find a wife.
His knowledge was limited to what he learned in training camp, and the brainwashing done there didn't help him at all.
Therefore, Eto had to do everything in his power to prepare himself, whether it was wealth, strength, or connections.
It was a tall order, but he had to do it.
Eto looked at the odd fruit in his hand again, but this time his forehead wasn't furrowed. His eyes no longer showed doubt but resolution to achieve his dream no matter what.
His intuition had never betrayed him, and this time, Eto would trust it once again.
Eto bit into the strange fruit with his front teeth before chewing it with his molars.
Suddenly, a sensation that was difficult for Eto to describe attacked his taste buds, making his face grimace. He almost vomited it out before he reluctantly swallowed it.
But afterwards, he hesitated to eat the rest of the fruit.
However, Eto's doubt worked in his favor because the power within the fruit could be obtained with just one bite.
"UGH!!!"
Eto was surprised when a great power suddenly surged into his body.
He knelt, struggling not to fall. The process lasted only a few seconds, after which an explanation of the power he now possessed entered his mind.
Until the latest canon knowledge, the true nature of Devil Fruits remains unknown. Several theories circulate, providing fans with some understanding of the origins of Devil Fruits.
Dr. Vegapunk suggests that Devil Fruits are a manifestation of human evolutionary potential, with each different power representing various branches for the future of humanity.
Thoughts along the lines of "if only I could do this" or "if only I could be like that."
Vegapunk claims that those in this abnormal state are hated by the sea, which he describes as the mother nature, and thus cannot swim as punishment.
Another theory, heard by Jabra, suggests that there is an actual demon living inside Devil Fruits.
This demon would transfer from one user to another after the previous user dies and the new user consumes the Devil Fruit.
That's why the sea, which is the core of the One Piece world, hates Devil Fruit eaters. This is also what prevents someone from obtaining two Devil Fruit powers because the demons within them would fight each other until the eater's body disintegrates.
The powers possessed by Devil Fruit eaters are diverse and peculiar.
Zoan types allow users to transform into fierce animals, while Logia types enable users to control natural elements. However, in terms of diversity of powers, Paramecia types can be considered first.
Paramecia Devil Fruits have a wide range of abilities.
Their eaters may be able to control natural elements like Logia users or transform themselves like Zoan users. They may even have strange abilities such as controlling souls like Charlotte Linlin and Brook or controlling time like Kozuki Toki.
The fruit Eto consumed is one of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits called the Gamer Gamer Fruit. This fruit grants Eto the power to transform into a human game character.
And just like a character in a game, Eto now has...
"Status," Eto uttered.

Close.]
When he saw the transparent blue panel appear in front of him, Eto didn't know what to comment on the strangeness that happening.
He never expected that the weird fruit he ate could grant him such power. Not only could this fruit digitize his body attributes, but it also turned Eto into a full-fledged game character.
Like a game character, death would only occur when his HP reached 0.
This meant that even if Eto were decapitated, he wouldn't die as long as he had 1 HP left.
However, attacks hitting vital points in his body would deal greater damage to his HP. For example, losing an arm might result in a 30% damage, but a stab to the heart could instantly inflict 80% damage.
But he would still suffer damage from wounds on his body due to bleeding effects.
Another strange thing he discovered is that he also wouldn't die if his breath was stopped. So, if one day he encounters an enemy who can suffocate him or perhaps freeze him, Eto won't die from being unable to breathe.
Breathing at the moment is just a habit and a normal bodily reaction for Eto.
Currently, Eto was unaware that the abilities granted by the Gamer Gamer Fruit might make others mistake him for a Logia fruit user.
However, in reality, even if his enemies used Armament Haki, the damage Eto received would still follow the same rules. Nevertheless, blows enhanced with Armament Haki would inflict much more damage than regular strikes without Haki.
Furthermore, this fruit also gave Eto the opportunity to quickly grow stronger.
As long as he filled the EXP bar, Eto would level up and receive 7 Attribute points that he could allocate among the four attributes in his status. The attribute points he obtained would also not diminish throughout his lifetime, even if he became lazy and didn't train at all for a long time.
However, this did not eliminate Eto's chance to grow stronger through regular training. It's just that the increase in his attribute points would be slower compared to leveling up.
To level up, Eto only needed to defeat enemies or complete in-game events that occurred at certain times and under certain circumstances.
Another ability of the Gamer Gamer Fruit was that it allowed Eto to learn anything, which would be accumulated in the form of skills.
For example, if one day Eto got a book teaching the Advanced Caesar Rebel Combat Style, he wouldn't need to train it himself; he could just use Skill Points to learn the knowledge directly. After that, in the blink of an eye, Eto would have the ability to use the Advanced Caesar Rebel Combat Style.
Of course, Eto could still learn the skill by himself without using Skill Points. However, it would undoubtedly be faster and easier to use Skill Points.
However, he wouldn't use his valuable SP (Skill Points) to learn the Advance Caesar Rebel Combat Style even if he obtained it. That's because acquiring SP is much harder than getting AP (Attribute Points).
Unlike AP, which can be obtained simply by leveling up, SP can only be obtained by completing game event missions. For this reason, SP are considered much more valuable than AP.
Therefore, Eto thought he would only use SP for skills that are very difficult to learn or require a long time to train.
However, Eto has a feeling that some skills can only be learned if the attributes he possesses meet certain minimum requirements. Especially the attribute of willpower, which Eto doesn't quite understand the significance of.
Eto has a sense that the abilities of the Gamer Gamer Fruit may not be limited to just that. There may be other secrets and functions that will emerge as Eto becomes stronger. That means he must quickly level up.
Moreover, Eto is unaware of the dangers he will encounter in pursuit of his dream of finding a wife.
Eto smiles, feeling that the path to realizing his dreams is becoming clearer.
He tidies up and retrieves all the treasures he left behind in the cave. With a large bundle on his back, Eto walks out of the cave.
Not long after, he finally sees the edge of the forest, and throughout his journey, Eto never encounters any cannibal monkeys.
This makes Eto feel exceptionally fortunate.
Not only did he gain the power of the Gamer Gamer Fruit and become a human game character, but he also didn't encounter any terrifying enemies on his journey.
However, Eto still wants to encounter enemies so he can experience what it's like to level up.
And just as he begins to hope, the world will grant his wish.
As soon as Eto emerges from the nameless forest, he encounters a soldier camp.
Judging from the size of the camp and the smoke rising from the bonfires, Eto estimates there are about 100 rebel soldiers in this camp. Not only that, before Eto can hide, the guard stationed in front of the camp recognizes his face.
"Stone Face?"
