Chapter 62: Paramecia - Fusion Fruit

"Yes, Captain!"

Barrett and Nepal were extremely excited by what Li Yuan said. For two children under ten, this was an enormous promise, something they deeply desired.

"Train your bodies well with Kano. Physical fitness is the foundation of everything. Once you meet the standards, you can choose to train in physical techniques or swordsmanship."

"Or, if your performance satisfies me, I might grant you a secret treasure of the sea, a Devil Fruit, and let you become Devil Fruit users!"

"Work hard, I look forward to your growth!"

After speaking, Li Yuan no longer paid attention. These youngsters were left in Kano's capable hands for training.

"You two are lucky to have caught the eye of the senior brother. Work hard; the world is vast and exciting!"

Kano patted Barrett and Nepal on the shoulders.

After that, Kano called another disciple to supervise Barrett and Nepal's training. They were too young, and at this stage, only needed to focus on basic extreme training. The disciples from the dojo could handle this, as Kano also needed time for his own training.

Since consuming the Slash-Slash Fruit, Kano's strength had been increasing rapidly, requiring him to spend more time developing his fruit abilities and strengthening his physique.

"Now, let me see what I've gained this time."

Li Yuan was excited to inventory the spoils from the nation he had conquered, as this was the first time he acquired so many treasures.

"About seventy billion worth of treasures. Not bad, not bad. These kingdoms are indeed wealthy, and those underground rats contributed quite a bit too."

Li Yuan merely glanced at the ordinary treasures and then focused on the Devil Fruits and famous swords.

Though he hadn't acquired any famous swords, he obtained five Devil Fruits this time. Five Devil Fruits!

"Let me see what these Devil Fruits are!"

Li Yuan picked up a Devil Fruit and compared it with the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

"Paramecia - Fusion Fruit!!!"

The first Devil Fruit he picked up was the Paramecia Fusion Fruit, the same fruit Barrett ate in the original story.

The Paramecia Fusion Fruit allows one to decompose and reassemble inanimate objects and merge other inanimate objects into oneself, enhancing physical strength. It can also synthesize various rare materials and create weapons.

This is an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit, which Barrett developed to the awakening level in the original story.

"Not bad, not bad. This Devil Fruit has a high potential, but whether to give it to Barrett is still up for discussion."

"After all, if Barrett prefers physical techniques, this Devil Fruit might not be suitable."

"Forget it, I'll save it for later."

After confirming this Devil Fruit, Li Yuan carefully stored it away. Barrett was still too weak and not suitable for eating a Devil Fruit now, which would only distract him.

"Paramecia - Hair Fruit!!!"

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this? A fruit that controls body hair, but hair is a type of body hair too."

"If developed well, it could be a decent Devil Fruit, as even Doflamingo could develop the String-String Fruit impressively."

"Let's keep it for now."

"Paramecia - Nail Fruit!!!"

"Another useless Devil Fruit. What good is a fruit that controls nails? Let's save it for now."

"Zoan - Mouse-Mouse Fruit: White Mouse Model!"

"Another trash fruit. This Zoan Devil Fruit barely enhances one's body, lacking any real potential."

"Paramecia - Feather Fruit!!!"

"This fruit's ability isn't bad. If developed, it might not be inferior to Doflamingo's String-String Fruit."

"Five Devil Fruits, aside from the Paramecia - Fusion Fruit given by the War-Free Country, the other four were acquired during the conquest."

"No wonder those countries didn't use them to train talents. These Devil Fruits were too worthless!"

After evaluating the five Devil Fruits, Li Yuan was speechless.

Except for the Fusion Fruit, the other four fruits were garbage. Well, the Feather Fruit might still have some potential.

"Forget it, I'll save these Devil Fruits for training subordinates in the future."

"Kano's steady nature isn't suitable for eating Paramecia Devil Fruits. I'll find an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit for him in the future."

Li Yuan thought.

While sailing on the sea, Li Yuan and his crew rarely approached islands, only doing so when resupplying. During those times, Li Yuan didn't fly the Rocks Pirates' flag, nor did he make an appearance.

Thus, the people on the islands didn't recognize Li Yuan's ship.

During the voyage, Li Yuan didn't slack off in his training. Since he couldn't train intensely on the ship, he practiced in the sea, tying a chain to himself to prevent drifting away from the ship.

He immersed himself in the ocean, training his swordsmanship and the muscle refining part of the fifth layer of the "Sword God Body Refining Technique."

However, even with the ocean's pressure squeezing his muscles, the progress of the fifth layer's training was very slow.

"No wonder the strong in the pirate world choose to refine only parts of their bodies with Haki. Even with a secret method like the 'Sword God Body Refining Technique,'"

"Completely refining muscles would take at least twenty years at this rate, not to mention the original inhabitants of the pirate world."

"For them, fully refining all muscles would take at least forty to sixty years, otherwise, it would be impossible."

"To speed up the refining process, besides enhancing one's Haki to a higher level, finding more effective external pressure methods is necessary."

Li Yuan thought as he refined his body.

The most effective external pressure is undoubtedly gravity.

Gravity applies pressure to the entire body, assisting in muscle refinement and, in the future, the refinement of tendons, bones, internal organs, and blood.

However, controlling gravity is impossible unless one is a Devil Fruit user o

r on a special island.

In the original story, only the Gravity Fruit consumed by Fujitora could control gravity.
