Chapter 318 Devil Fruit, Joy Boy and Im
It must be pointed out that the world more than 800 years ago was even more closed than it is today.
More backward navigation technology, equally harsh natural environment, and more barren countries made cross-sea communication a very difficult thing.
Most countries can only establish connections with some countries in nearby waters.
Anyone who dares to go out to sea and explore other seas is a brave among the brave.
In most cases, countries prohibit overseas exploration.
After all, this matter is time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to gain anything, and it is often just a waste of effort.
Even in Bica, people living here with technology far beyond the sea are not very interested in exploring the outside world.
After all, they are outsiders in this world. For the peace-loving Bikka people, it is easy to cause disputes if they contact other countries without authorization.
After all, the world at that time can indeed be said to be a dark forest.
Joey Boy was born in Bikka under such circumstances.
He is not a human, but a giant. Strictly speaking, he is the offspring of giant immigrants in Bikka.
When Ian told this, Solem and Shimier were shocked.
”Giant?”
Solem opened his mouth wide, “The great man who led the giant kingdom to fight the world government eight hundred years ago was actually a giant? I have never heard of this!”
The average life expectancy of the giants is more than two hundred years, and it is not surprising that the longest-lived ones live for more than three hundred years.
For ordinary humans, more than eight hundred years is indeed a very long time. If we convert it to twenty years per generation, this is almost forty generations.
But for the giants, it is not the case.
Perhaps the grandfather of a giant’s grandfather was a witness to that thrilling history.
”Don’t worry,”
Ian said with a smile, “there are more exciting things to come.”
Joyboy was not born to be a man who was content with his lot.
When he was a child, he was running around in the country of Bika. He longed for freedom, adventure, and everything that could bring freshness and excitement.
So when he grew up, of course, he went to sea.
He came down from the Red Earth Continent and started his journey on a boat.
This had never happened before.
Because Joyboy was not just exploring the surrounding waters, he wanted the whole world.
Joyboy did not say how many hardships and obstacles he had experienced during this period. In short, he just said it in a very proud tone in the main text of history.
“Finally, I traveled around the world and held banquets on all the islands in the world!”
Roger, the Pirate King, is the second man in history to travel around the world.
The first one is Joy Boy.
He is not only the first person to travel around the world, but also the first pirate in history.
Because he is indeed a man who does not want to be bound by anything, he often causes commotion when he lands on an island.
Then of course he will be chased by the local rulers.
Over time, the name of pirate has naturally emerged.
However, the biggest commotion Joy Boy caused in the world more than 800 years ago was not these.
The world more than 800 years ago was not only backward in technology, but also in system.
There was no such thing as Future Island in the world at that time. Except for a few islands that were in the barbaric era because they were too isolated, most of the islands were in a slave society.
Slaves were not treated as human beings, had no human rights, and were no different from livestock.
Strictly speaking, although Joyboy was from Beka, he was not really interested in things like systems.
But who told him to make friends?
And the slave group was so large.
This led to Joyboy making some slave friends every now and then.
Then for his friends, Joyboy would often start a big fight.
Later, it even developed to the point of directly liberating slaves.
AndBut this guy is so strong that no one on the sea can stop him.
Speaking of this, Joyboy inserted a digression.
About why he is so strong.
The reason is very simple. He not only inherited the terrifying power of the giants, but also mastered the domineering power that is circulated among humans.
More importantly, he is a person with special abilities.
Before the Bika people came to this world, there were no people with special abilities on the sea.
The devil fruit was invented by the Bika people.
When Ian translated to this, Uncle Quinn was so excited that he couldn’t stop. ”Mm ha ha ha! Sure enough! The devil fruit is also a product of technology! Science and technology are the most terrible power in the world!”
”It’s really hard to imagine.”
Luo couldn’t help but sigh.
No one knows better than him how magical the devil fruit ability he possesses is.
But was such a wonderful power actually created by some people back then? How advanced was the technology of the Bika people back then?
It is really hard to imagine.
However, strictly speaking, the devil fruit is not completely manufactured.
When the Bika people came to Qinghai, they also brought a special plant.
The depletion of lunar resources is largely due to the existence of that plant.
That plant is a tree, named Eden.
It is said that it was found by the ancestors of the Bika people when they were exploring the starry sky. At first, it was just a small seedling. After consuming a huge amount of resources, it gradually grew up.
A large area of land on the moon was taken away by the nutrients of that plant.
After this plant was brought to Qinghai and planted on the red soil continent, it finally grew fruits.
Those fruits seemed to be connected to another dimension. They looked ordinary, but they contained a stream of wonderful power inside.
And the most amazing thing is that when someone eats these fruits, the energy will change according to the user’s wishes.
However, at the beginning, the energy could not be used at all.
Strictly speaking, the Bika people transformed these fruits and materialized the energy into specific abilities to transform the human body.
That is the devil fruit.
And the reason why the ability user cannot swim is probably because the growth method of this plant itself is rejected by the world.
And Joyboy is the first batch of devil fruit ability users.
He has the ability of rubber that can stretch his body freely.
“Gum Fruit?”
Teacher Kai was a little confused, “Can a guy like Joy Boy have such an ordinary devil fruit ability?”
”No, Kaido,”
The red-haired man who knew the inside story said at this time, “That should be because the true power of the gum fruit had not yet been revealed at that time.”
”That’s right,”
Ian said with a smile, “In the following adventure, Joy Boy encountered some crises, and under the stimulation of the crisis, his ability awakened.”
”He has unparalleled terrifying wrist strength and the ability to change his form at will, and he also has a heart drum that will never lose its fighting power as long as it doesn’t stop beating!”
”Sun God Nika, the slaves he freed called him so respectfully.”
”Sun God!!”
The two giants said in unison. Is that Joy Boy the god worshipped by their giants?
“In short, it is indeed an amazing ability.”
Ian said.
He has actually been paying attention to Luffy all these years, but the rubber fruit has never appeared.
Strictly speaking, the awakening of the devil fruit is a further extension of the ability user’s mind.
The original devil fruit will realize the user’s wish and transform him the moment it is eaten.
And awakening is an evolution based on this.
Or it is a further intensification of physical transformation, or assimilation of the external environment.
It can be said that the awakening achieved by all the ability users later is nothing more than the manifestation of the original ability users’ minds.
After awakening Nika’s ability, no one on the sea can stop Joy Boy.
His journey was smooth sailing, and he easily traveled around the world, and liberated countless slaves.
”Ah? What about the later twenty kings? What about the war?How did it break out? ”
Aunt Lingling couldn’t help asking.
Now it seems that Joy Boy is doing well, isn’t he? ”Because Joy Boy made a lot of friends during his travels.”
Ian said.
Joy Boy’s friends are not only slaves, but also many bigwigs.
For example, the two princesses of Fishman Island and Alabasta Kingdom at that time.
For example, the ancestors of Wano Country and the ancestors of the Bakaria tribe.
Another example is a prince named Nerona Im.
It’s hard to imagine that Im and Joy Boy were indeed good friends at the beginning.
Im had not yet become the king of his country at that time, but an enlightened and kind prince.
After meeting Joyboy, he even became Joyboy’s partner and traveled with him.
Yes, Joyboy was alone at first, but as the journey progressed, his team continued to expand.
People from various countries and ethnic groups joined his team to explore this beautiful world with him, and Im was one of them.
They traveled around the world together and finally returned to Bika together.
Im then stayed in Bika to learn the knowledge there.
And the turning point of things was It happened after the trip.
What Joy Boy did during the trip set off a vigorous trend of liberating slaves all over the world.
This made the kings who insisted on slavery on the sea very unhappy.
They joined hands to attack Bika.
But the technological power that Bika possessed was really beyond their reach, and they even repelled the coalition forces without using their ultimate weapons.
At this time, among Joy Boy’s friends, Lily and others who had succeeded the King of Alabasta began to Begins to actively respond to the action of liberating slaves, and even takes the initiative to help mediate with those countries that are hostile to Bika.
In theory, everything should be moving in a good direction.
But at this time, a man joined the national team that attacked Bika, and the situation suddenly changed.
Of course it was Im.
Joyboy’s former good friend and most trusted friend betrayed him.
He seized the ultimate weapon of the Bika people, obtained the strongest power in the world, and launched an attack directly against Bika.
”Wait, wait!”
Ace shouted in confusion, “I won’t talk about friends betraying or anything, but how did that guy get the weapon of the Bika people?”
”Because there is another group of people who were instigated by him.”
Ian said, “That is a group of special Bika people with black wings and blazing flames behind their heads.”
”Lunaria tribe? ”
Uncle Quinn shouted at the first moment, “Is it true that Jin’s ancestor was also a traitor?”
”The Bika people are not monolithic, just like they were divided into two factions before they came to Qinghai.”
Ian said, “The group later known as the Lunaria tribe is also special among the Bika people.”
”They pursue power, and for this reason they do not hesitate to borrow the power of the devil fruit to transform themselves.”
”And unlike other peace-loving Bika people, they covet this world.”
”Even in order to make up for the lack of numbers, they have created a group of outstanding warriors through the means of bloodline factor transformation.”
”A group of special warriors with human body shape and animal characteristics.”
”The Fur Tribe? ”
Enelu raised his eyebrows.
It was he who ran onto the elephant’s back and recruited that tribe, so he was naturally very impressed.
Ian nodded gently.
After the Fur Tribe’s experiment was discovered, the Lunaliya tribe was collectively hostile to the Bika people.
For the peace-loving Bika people, such behavior of playing with life is unacceptable to them.
And this hostility became an opportunity for Im to win over the Lunaliya tribe.
In short, the final result was that Im instigated the Lunaliya tribe, and the two sides joined forces to seize the ultimate weapon of the Bika people.
Then Im returned to his country to seize the throne, and united with the other 19 kings on the sea to launch the final war against Bika.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, another good friend of Joyboy, King Lily, was also deceived by Im, thinking that Joyboy and Bika would destroy all the countries in the world, so he also led Amu.Rabastan joined the coalition.
When Ian saw this, he was a little powerless to complain. Was he deceived so easily?
In short, facing Im who got the ultimate weapon, the Beka people began to retreat step by step, even though there were a large number of devil fruit ability users among them, they were still difficult to resist.
This situation did not change until Joyboy secretly created Pluto in the Water City.
So the world entered a situation of ancient weapons bombardment.
In addition to the mermaid princess who already had the ability to communicate with the sea king, the situation was deadlocked.
However, at this time, Im’s advantage of having no bottom line was revealed.
He began to rely on the poor communication in the world and began to wantonly destroy the world with the ultimate weapon. It can be said that this guy should bear most of the responsibility for the rise in sea levels.
Finally, Joyboy was forced to take the risk of fighting him.
The result.
Joyboy was defeated.
“Ah? That’s it?”
Law’s face fell immediately.
Teacher Kai stroked his chin, “I feel like I’ve seen this guy somewhere before.”
Ian almost laughed out loud.
That’s true.
”But why did that guy Yimu betray Joyboy?”
Black Maria asked, “Weren’t they close friends before?”
”Well…”
Ian’s mouth curled up.
That’s even funnier.
