Chapter 120: Artificial Devil Fruit Shock Fruit

Sabo followed Chiba to his boat, where Chiba began his research.

Chiba was intrigued by Sabo's dragon claw technique and took the opportunity to study it thoroughly.

After a day of research...

[You have conducted in-depth research on Sabo's body and analyzed his dragon claw technique. Combining your previous life experience, you've created the Supernatural Haki Dragon Claw Hand.]

[Supernatural Haki Dragon Claw Hand: Concentrate a large amount of Haki on the fingers, transforming them into powerful claws...]

Chiba carefully reviewed the results, recognizing the potential of the Haki dragon claw hand as a formidable skill.

Continuing his research, Chiba examined Sabo's head and discovered a small blockage preventing neuron connections, sealing parts of Sabo's memory.

The brain's nerves are delicate and fragile; Chiba hesitated to tamper with them. He frowned deeply.

Sabo asked, "Can my amnesia be cured?"

Chiba replied, "Your brain suffered severe injury, damaging neurons and causing blockages. However, due to your strength, your neurons are repairing gradually. Full recovery will take time."

"The neurons are too delicate to meddle with. Any damage could have dire consequences."

Sabo laughed, relieved. "What's so funny?" Chiba asked, puzzled.

"I thought I'd never regain my memory. Now you've given me hope. How could I not be happy?" Sabo replied, grinning widely.

Chiba was taken aback by Sabo's optimism. "I believe you, Ace, and Luffy are my brothers. Why else would you care so much?"

"Don't get cocky. Who cares about you?" Chiba retorted, but Sabo's smile only grew.

Ace interjected, "Is there really no way to speed up Sabo's memory recovery?"

"He must repair his neurons himself," Chiba said, then suddenly brightened. "I have an idea! Ace, fetch Koby for me."

"On it! What did you think of?" Ace asked eagerly.

"You'll see. Just bring Koby."

Soon, Koby arrived, and Chiba led him to the lab.

Two days later...

[You have conducted in-depth research on Koby's blood factor and the Shock Fruit's power. You've studied changes in Koby's blood factor before and after using the Shock Fruit ability, and created an artificial Devil Fruit Shock Fruit.]

[Artificial Devil Fruit Shock Fruit: Initially grants vibration power. As zhenqi strengthens, it can shatter space...]

Excitement filled Chiba as he read the system's description.

Koby, though haggard from donating pure blood factors, had helped Chiba create the artificial Devil Fruit Shock Fruit.

Chiba, holding the newly created fruit, approached Sabo. "Here, eat this."

Sabo eyed the fruit curiously. "Is this a Devil Fruit? It doesn't look like the real thing."

"It's my creation, different from natural Devil Fruits," Chiba explained.

"Sabo, your forte is body art and Haki, especially your dragon claw. It's powerful. Combined with the artificial Shock Fruit, your claw can disperse and penetrate defenses."

"With this fruit, you could easily defeat someone like Badgers, shattering his arm with a single claw."

"The artificial Shock Fruit is perfect for you. Plus, it won't prevent you from eating a real Devil Fruit later. It might even help repair your blocked neurons and restore your memory."

Ace added enviously, "Sabo, you're lucky. Even I haven't gotten an artificial Devil Fruit from Chiba yet."

Sabo hesitated, examining the fruit. Chiba teased, "Afraid I poisoned it?"

"No, just touched," Sabo replied, quickly swallowing the fruit.

A surge of power coursed through him, accompanied by excruciating pain as his body underwent transformation. Muscles and bones restructured, flesh regenerated—the pain was intense.

Sabo's screams echoed, alarming Ace. "Chiba, is he okay?"

"Relax, he's fine," Chiba reassured, confident in the process.

Sabo's strength required a longer transformation. After an hour, the process ceased, and Chiba administered foundation-building potion to aid Sabo's recovery.

Five minutes later, Sabo opened his eyes. His aura began to rise rapidly over the next hour, astounding Ace.

Sabo had returned to peak condition, empowered by the artificial Shock Fruit. His momentum continued to grow.

After another hour, Sabo's aura was ten times stronger than before. Memories flooded back, and he turned to Chiba and Ace, shouting joyfully, "Chiba, Ace, hahaha!"

Sabo embraced them both in a jubilant hug.
