Chapter 053: The Op-Op Fruit with No Side Effects!
Not long after, the rewards for the pet leaderboard began to be announced one by one, starting with the first place.
Buzz!!!
The reward belonging to Beerus appeared in the livestream screen.
It was a gray fruit, with golden patterns winding around its surface, looking extremely mysterious and profound.
[Enlightenment Fruit: After consumption, it instantly puts you in a state of Super Enlightenment for three days. It can also enhance the strength of the soul, effective even for those at the Six Paths level or above.]
The Enlightenment Fruit is an excellent item, but it would be somewhat wasted on an ordinary ninja.
Therefore, when ordinary ninjas saw the Enlightenment Fruit, they weren't too excited.
[Kakashi: The Enlightenment Fruit is highly valuable for strong individuals, but not very useful for average ninjas.]
[Might Guy: I wonder what the Super Enlightenment state is. If I consume it, could I create a technique that surpasses the Eight Gates?]
[Orochimaru: The Enlightenment Fruit and the Enlightenment Golden Leaf belong to the same category of treasures. The Enlightenment Golden Leaf can be worn and used continuously, while the Enlightenment Fruit is a one-time item. However, since the Enlightenment Fruit is the reward for the first place on the pet leaderboard, its effects are likely to be extremely amazing, far surpassing the Enlightenment Golden Leaf by who knows how many times.]
[Hidan: I don't like this kind of treasure. I'd prefer something that directly boosts my strength.]
[Kakuzu: Haha, Hidan, even if you wanted it, it wouldn't be given to you.]
...
"The Enlightenment Fruit, what a treasure!"
Ye Tian's eyes lit up.
Honghong, Yaya, and Rongrong were also moved.
This kind of treasure is immensely valuable. If they were to use it, they could stay in a state of Super Enlightenment for three days, enough time to elevate their techniques to astonishing levels, or even master techniques or skills they hadn't been able to learn until now.
Moreover, they all practiced cultivation methods provided by Ye Tian, which took a long time to improve. If they had the Enlightenment Fruit, wouldn't they be able to easily advance their techniques to the peak level?
"Beerus should offer the Enlightenment Fruit to the master!" Rongrong said.
"I don't need it!" Ye Tian shook his head, "I can easily master any technique or skill to its fullest. Giving me the Enlightenment Fruit would be a waste. But if the Enlightenment Fruit is given to Beerus, he can use it to fully master Ultra Instinct. Once he masters Ultra Instinct, his strength will increase significantly."
"Ultra Instinct!"
The three women, Rongrong, Yaya, and Honghong, were visibly shaken. This is a terrifying technique.
They had tried to practice it themselves, but it was too difficult to grasp. Moreover, they weren't suited for physical combat, so Ultra Instinct wasn't the best fit for them.
However, Beerus was very well suited for Ultra Instinct and had already mastered its basic form.
If Beerus fully mastered Ultra Instinct, his strength would skyrocket, easily surpassing them.
"Trying to surpass Beerus will be tough now!"
Honghong thought to herself.
At this moment, Ye Tian used a communication device to contact Beerus, who was in an alternate space. Although the communication was somewhat delayed, Beerus received it after a while.
"The master doesn't want the Enlightenment Fruit, so I'll go ahead and use it!"
Beerus retrieved the Enlightenment Fruit from the livestream room.
At this moment, Beerus was astonished. He wasn't even in the Shinobi World anymore, but rather in an alternate dimension, and yet the power of the Golden List could still reach him, allowing him to easily retrieve items.
Swipe!
The Enlightenment Fruit appeared in his hand, emitting a tempting fragrance.
"What a treasure, such things cannot be found in the Shinobi World!"
Without hesitation, Beerus ate the Enlightenment Fruit in one bite.
Boom!!!
His soul seemed to be activated, putting Beerus into a special state of enlightenment.
This state was like that of an omnipotent god, capable of comprehending all techniques, even the rules governing the world.
"With this state lasting three days, I will definitely master Ultra Instinct!"
Beerus said excitedly.
He no longer paid attention to the livestream and began focusing intently on training in Ultra Instinct in this alternate dimension.
...
After the first-place reward was announced, the reward for second place was also revealed.
This reward belonged to Octopus sensei, the scientist!
In the livestream room, a large, heart-shaped fruit appeared on the screen.
[Op-Op Fruit: One of the Paramecia Devil Fruits. Once consumed, the user becomes a Devil Fruit user, able to create a spherical or hemispherical space in which they can cut, exchange, and splice anything at will. They can even swap hearts between individuals or perform the Immortality Surgery, granting eternal life, but performing this surgery will cause the user to die. Note: The Golden List has removed the Devil Fruit's weakness to seawater for this fruit.]
[Third Hokage: This Op-Op Fruit is similar to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that Fourth Raikage could choose before, both belonging to the Devil Fruit category. But last time, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit still had the weakness to seawater, so Fourth Raikage didn't choose it. This time, the weakness has been removed, making the Op-Op Fruit a Devil Fruit with no negative side effects.]
[Fourth Raikage: Damn, I regret it now! I should have chosen the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Instead, I picked some future card. Sigh!]
[Mei Terumi: Fourth Raikage, you're only regretting it now after using the future card. If you hadn't seen the future, you'd still be curious, right?]
[Orochimaru: The Op-Op Fruit is perfect for someone like me, who loves to research. It's the most perfect form of art. With it, I could elevate my surgical skills by at least several levels.]
[Deidara: Orochimaru, please stop misusing the word art. Explosions are the only true art!!!]
[Third Tsuchikage: The scariest thing is probably the Immortality Surgery. It can grant eternal life, but the price is high—the user will die after performing it.]
[Danzo: The high price isn't a problem. Which village doesn't have its own trained death squads? Have one of them eat the Op-Op Fruit and then perform the Immortality Surgery on you—wouldn't you gain eternal life?]
[Fourth Raikage: Danzo, you're ruthless, already coming up with this method!]
[Danzo: Heh, you all thought of it, but didn't dare to say it out loud.]
...
"The Op-Op Fruit! It really suits Octopus!"
Ye Tian murmured to himself.
The Op-Op Fruit comes from the world of One Piece and is considered one of the top Devil Fruits, mainly because of its Immortality Surgery.
The Op-Op Fruit itself isn't all that valuable, potentially even less so than the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
But the Golden List removed the Devil Fruit's weakness to seawater, which completely changed its value, making it at least ten times more valuable, maybe even more.
For this reason, the Op-Op Fruit could serve as the reward for second place on the pet leaderboard.
"Octopus, enter the livestream room and take a look!"
Ye Tian sent a message to Octopus sensei.
In a secret underground base somewhere in the Shinobi World, inside a laboratory, Octopus sensei was conducting experiments.
After receiving Ye Tian's message, he immediately entered the livestream room.
"Wow, I'm on the pet leaderboard? And in second place, with the reward being the Op-Op Fruit!!!"
"The Op-Op Fruit is perfect for me! With it, many difficult surgical experiments will become easily solvable!"
Without delay, Octopus sensei retrieved the Op-Op Fruit and devoured it in one bite.
In no time, he had mastered the powers of the Op-Op Fruit and began studying this ability, once again immersing himself in surgical experiments.
At this time, the reward for the pet leaderboard's third-place holder, Red Lotus Godzilla, was also announced.
