Chapter 233: Swallow The Air And Launch An Air Cannon!?

Rifan's eyes widened slightly; he was obviously surprised by the sudden revelation in his mind. "Chopper's medical memory has reached the level of Master?!"

"Interesting," he thought, "it seems that even the Copy Space has recognized the healing power brought by the awakening of the Munch-Munch Fruit."

"I just didn't expect that Chopper and the doctor on Moria's side have not been allowed to exchange medical skills, his medical skills have already reached the level of a master."

"In this way, it may not take long for Chopper to create a panacea and realise his dream."

"There is also the 'Advanced Observation Haki Awakening Scroll,' which can be used to give to Nojiko, who has already reached the intermediate level of Observation Haki. With high-level armament haki and high-level observation haki at the same time, her strength can also rise to a higher level."

While Rifan was pondering these thoughts, he took the initiative to wrap his right hand with Armament Haki and punched his left arm. He wanted to verify his conjecture, to see if the Munch-Munch Fruit could directly extract damage from the human body like Kuma.

"Captain Rifan, what are you doing?" Franky was taken aback by Rifan's sudden self-inflicted attack.

In the same way, it also awakened Chopper, who was feeling the new power in his body.

Because of the awakening of the Munch-Munch Fruit, the improvement of Armament Haki, and the substantial increase in physical prowess, it would take more time for Chopper to adapt to his newfound strength.

"It's nothing; I just want to conduct a test," Rifan reassured. "By the way, Chopper, how does the Munch-Munch Fruit feel after it's awakening? Are there other forces in your body? Can you adapt to it well?"

Rifan was also quite surprised that Chopper had obtained high-level Armament Haki. He had thought Chopper was going to follow Franky in weaponizing himself forever. However, Chopper's awakening of advanced Armament Haki made Rifan feel that Chopper could bring up the skills that had been left behind while following Franky in researching weapons.

After Rifan finished speaking, he used the Munch-Munch Fruit to bite the arm he had hit earlier.

"Captain Rifan, I feel like I've become so strong," Chopper exclaimed. "Not only the awakening of the Devil Fruit but also the Armament Haki. And my stamina... it's almost doubled. Captain Rifan, what's happening to me? Will it affect you?"

Chopper transformed into his human form, rubbing his strong arms and wrapping the powerful Armament Haki around them. He looked at Rifan with suspicion.

Rifan grinned and released a bubble wrapped in a red mysterious substance that resembled a piranha. Then, he answered Chopper with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Chopper. You deserve these powers. I have nothing to lose here. Besides, if you gain power, it means the Black Pearl Pirates become stronger. It's a good thing for our group, isn't it?"

Rifan turned to Chopper while playing with the red bubble in his hand. "Yes! Captain Rifan, I will use the strength you've given me to help everyone. By the way, Captain Rifan, what is the bubble you have in your hand?" Chopper blinked and looked at Rifan curiously.

Because he could also use the ability of the Munch-Munch Fruit, Chopper felt an inexplicable familiarity with the bubble in Rifan's hand.

"This is the result of the test I just conducted," Rifan explained. "After I intentionally injured myself and then used the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit to separate the damage on my body."

Rifan pushed the bubble toward the curious Chopper with a smile on his face. "This is... Captain Rifan, the injury you received just now?!" Franky's eyes widened, looking at the piranha bubble in disbelief.

"That's right, Franky~" Rifan confirmed. "Now I've helped Chopper awaken the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit. He can do things like me too. This ability can also be used for healing. If you ask me, the current Chopper is a famous doctor at the level of a celestial being. We can rely more on Chopper in the future. By the way, it should be easier to use the Munch-Munch Fruit to synthesize drugs in the future."

After Rifan finished speaking, he crushed the bubble in his hand.

"Can the Munch-Munch Fruit do such a thing after awakening?" Franky wondered aloud. "Wait, if it's more convenient to synthesize drugs, it must be more convenient to synthesize weapons. Chopper, let's continue the experiment. I suddenly felt a new inspiration! "

Franky looked at Chopper in surprise. "Sorry, Franky, I suddenly had some pharmaceutical inspiration. And Captain Rifan helped me awaken the Munch-Munch Fruit. I still need to get familiar with it. The ability to directly separate a person's pain just now, I want to master it as soon as possible," Chopper explained.

"That's fine; we have plenty of time," Franky reassured. "Just continue studying weapons in the future."

"Franky is right, Chopper, you can get familiar with it with peace of mind," Rifan added. "After I finish my work here, I can also study with you."

Chopper nodded appreciatively at Rifan and Franky, then rushed out of Franky's workshop and ran towards his research room. His speed was so fast that it raised a cloud of dust and smoke in the aisle of the cabin.

"I'm really looking forward to it. After I get familiar with it, maybe I can use new alloy to create a powerful robot," Franky said with longing.

"Franky, since you want a powerful weapon, how about letting Chopper swallow you?" Rifan suggested. "In this way, the two of you will be considered as one. At that time, Chopper will not only be able to use the weapons on your body, as well as your fruit abilities. You know, the Munch-Munch Fruit can swallow the devil fruit user and use the ability of that person."

"Now that the Munch-Munch Fruit has awakened, it may even swallow multiple devil fruit users at the same time and use their abilities." Rifan patted Franky on the shoulder and then walked toward a steel plate Franky had made to test the strength of punches.

"Swallow multiple devil fruit users?" Franky raised an eyebrow. "Then isn't Chopper going to be like Captain Rifan? I have a feeling that Chopper will become an exceptionally powerful monster once he's familiar with this power. Wait, Captain Rifan, what are you going to do?"

Franky saw Rifan opening his mouth and inhaling continuously, so he walked over curiously.

"Fire!" Rifan exclaimed. At that moment, the airflow he had been inhaling transformed into a transparent air cannonball resembling a cannibal flower. It shot out of Rifan's mouth and struck the steel plate with tremendous force, shattering even Franky's new alloy plate and scattering tools around the workshop.

"This is... the Wind Cannon?!" Franky exclaimed in disbelief. "Wait, the solid new alloy actually shattered! I told you, Captain Rifan, don't suddenly use such a powerful force and wreck my workshop like this!"

Franky shook his head and looked at Rifan, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the destruction.

"Haha, sorry, Franky," Rifan apologized with a sheepish grin. "It's the first time I've used this ability, and I didn't control the strength properly."

Franky was still processing what he had witnessed. "Using this ability for the first time? Wait, the shape of the air cannonball was similar to the bubble formed when you separated your injury earlier. Could it be the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit?"

"That's right! I use the Munch-Munch Fruit to swallow the air around me and then release it in one gulp," Rifan explained. "It seems to work pretty well~"

Rifan was quite satisfied with the results of the air cannonballs. Since the Munch-Munch Fruit could separate injuries like the Paw-Paw Devil Fruit, he wanted to test if it could also gather and utilize the surrounding air, much like the Kuma's ability. Clearly, it works.

"Franky, I have some other business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now," Rifan said. "After witnessing this trick of mine, you can discuss it with Chopper. I believe he'll be very interested in techniques like launching air cannons."

Rifan left Franky's workshop, his confidence in solving the curse on Hancock and others strengthened by the awakened power of the Munch-Munch Fruit. He was eager to test it out with Marigold.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—

[The power of the Munch-Munch Fruit is truly incredible!]

[As a doctor, I'm envious. It can separate a person's injury with just one bite. What an extraordinary ability!]

[Eagle Audience: Can this ability also separate cancer cells from a person?]

[Chollima Audience: It should be possible! Even before the Munch-Munch Fruit awakened, it could separate viruses, so cancer cells should be within its capabilities.]

[Goat Audience: In the future, the survival rate of pirates with Rifan will be much higher. Speaking of which, Rifan mentioned earlier that Chopper is a Master doctor. I must have heard that wrong.]

[You heard correctly! I noticed that too. Initially, I was a bit confused, but after seeing Rifan separate his pain, I think it's very likely that Chopper could become a master ship doctor.]

[That's right, Chopper was already an expert-level ship doctor, and now, with the Black Pearl, there's one more master... no, with Brother Rifan, there are two more!]

[Camel Audience: Impossible! It's just a Munch-Munch Fruit. How could it elevate a crew member's skill level to such a degree, even to the level of a Master?]

[How is it impossible? Devil Fruit abilities can evolve, so it's normal for them to improve. And Chopper mentioned earlier that his Armament Haki and physical fitness have greatly improved, a clear reward for achieving the level of a Master!]

[Camel Audience: I don't believe it. If Chopper is truly the ship's doctor and his level has genuinely reached that of a Master, shouldn't the Copy Space provide corresponding prompts?]

Just as the Camel Audience was about to continue denying Chopper's ship doctor status and mastery level, a pinned message appeared at the top of the live broadcast room:

[Notice!]

['Panda' Rifan's crew member 'Doctor' Tony Tony Chopper's job level has reached the 'Master' level!]

['Captain' Rifan and 'Ship Doctor' Chopper have both received corresponding rewards!]

[Remarks: As the reincarnator captain, when the crew's position level is cultivated to the 'Master' level or when a crew member reaches the 'Master' level and has joined another reincarnated captain's pirate group, the captain and corresponding crew members will receive generous rewards!]

[Remarks: Whenever a reincarnator captain acquires a crew member with the 'Master' position level, the dungeon space will make corresponding announcements.]

[Remarks: A reincarnator captain can also receive generous rewards by recruiting 'Master' level crew members from other reincarnator captains. However, when a 'Master' level crew member has already received rewards from other reincarnator captains, they will not receive additional rewards upon joining another captain's pirate group.]
