It was after the last war. In order to confirm the issue of Blackbeard's life and death, Li Yan had the ship that Blackbeard belonged to at that time, the ship that was crushed in the ruins of the underwater prison. . .
It was salvaged.
After some inspection and verification, although the bodies of all Blackbeard's crew members were found on this ship, Blackbeard himself was not found.
Originally, Li Yan was a little disappointed, but. . .
On this ship, he found something else, something that others might think it was useless and ignored, but Li Yan was very familiar.
It was a piece of black cloth!
When he saw this piece of cloth, Li Yan remembered the war on the top in the original book. After killing Whitebeard, Blackbeard took out such a piece of cloth and covered himself and Whitebeard in it.
No one knew what the black beard who was covered in the black cloth did, but when he came out of the black cloth again, he possessed the quaking fruit of the white tiger.
In the previous life, there were many speculations about Blackbeard's ability to capture fruit.
For example, through the dark fruit capture.
For example, after the ability person dies, the fruit ability will re-parasitic on the nearest fruit.
Another example, there is something strange about that black cloth.
At this point, Li Yan thinks the first two are very unreliable.
If it is the first type, in the plot of the original Dressrosa, Bashas will not try to kill Sabo and take away the burning fruit that has been swallowed by him.
Obviously, Bashas knew the way to get the fruit, but it was definitely not the dark fruit of Blackbeard, because Blackbeard was not in Dressrosa at this time. After Bashas killed Sabo, it was possible that Blackbeard could still instantly. Move over to help him take out the fruit?
Therefore, this guess is very unreliable.
As for the second one, it's actually more ridiculous.
If the ability person dies, the devil fruit ability will leave the ability person's body and attach to the nearest fruit.
Why hasn't anyone discovered this in those eight hundred years?
Speaking of which, in the past 800 years, there have been 800 or 1000 capable people who died. If it were as simple as that, they would have been discovered long ago.
After all, no one is blind.
Or, in eight years, I have never seen a situation where there is fruit nearby when a person with ability dies?
Therefore, the first two guesses are unreliable.
So. . .
This leaves only the third type.
In other words, there is something strange about this black cloth!
Therefore, Li Yan brought this piece of black cloth to Vega Punk, and then described a scene to him that did not exist.
He told Vegapunk that Blackbeard used this cloth to cover himself and the pirate's corpse after killing a pirate with Devil Fruit ability, and when the black cloth was lifted, Blackbeard got the opponent's Devil Fruit.
Based on this non-existent scene, let Vega Punk study how Blackbeard did it.
Of course, Double Punk didn't know that the scene that Li Yan told him had never happened in the real world.
As one of the three people who have the deepest research on bloodline factors in the world, Vega Punk's research in this area is also quite powerful.
No, it's only been a month before he has reached a preliminary conclusion and is ready to start the experiment.
------
10,000 meters above Gaya Island.
Appayado Comprehensive Research Institute.
"Lao Bei, are you saying that the problem lies with this black cloth?"
Looking at Vega Punk holding a black cloth, Li Yan asked.
"Yes, our previous research only knew that after a person eats a devil fruit, the lineage factor contained in the fruit will enter the human blood system, relying on blood as a nutrient to survive while feeding back to the host, and This feedback is the ability of the Devil Fruit."
"At the same time, when a human dies, the blood in the body can no longer maintain the survival of the lineage factor. At this time, the lineage factor will leave the human body and find a new host."
"Of course, first of all, he must find a container that can maintain his existence, and this container is all kinds of fruits."
"But it's not that you put a fruit in front of the corpse of the capable person. The bloodline factor will definitely enter the fruit when it leaves. According to records over the past 800 years, there has been a capable person who died two days after the devil fruit. On an island thousands of kilometers away, someone was found."
"As of now, it is still unclear what mechanism the bloodline factor relies on to find suitable fruit parasites after it leaves the body of the capable person, but after you told me about Blackbeard last time, I have it. new ideas..."
"Of course, this idea requires a premise, a method that can bind the bloodline factor, and through your story, I focused my attention on this piece of black cloth, and after researching it, the problem still lies in this! "
Vegapunk talked a lot today, and he was obviously a little excited at the moment.
After all, the research on lineage factors is his old line of work. Now that he has made a breakthrough, how can he not be excited?
"Old Bei, tell me directly, what method?"
"This method is surprisingly simple, come with me!"
Without revealing the mystery directly, Vegapunk stepped forward and greeted Li Yan to follow him.
512 choices had no choice, and the grief of the bloodline factor was very fast, and the two came to an empty laboratory.
Why is it said to be empty? That is because. . .
This laboratory is surprisingly clean, except for a black cube with a length, width and height of about three meters in the middle, there is nothing else.
"Old Bei, is this?"
"Hailou Stone!"
"Hailoushi is so big, all of them?"
Hearing this, Li Yan was also surprised. If the cubes were three meters long, wide and high, how many would they have if they were all Hailou stones.
You must know that Hailou Stone is very expensive, and it is definitely a luxury in the world of pirates.
"What are you thinking about? It's the whole thing. I think so, but you have to give me so many Hailou stones!"
As he came to the black cube, Vegapunk complained, then he reached out and grabbed a handle on the cube and opened it.
Good guy It turned out not to be an entity, but a box-like thing, just bigger.
The thickness is about five millimeters, which is not too exaggerated.
"Lao Bei, don't sell your shit, hurry up and say it!"
"Well, before we talk about this, we have to talk about this black cloth first!"
Saying that, Vega Punk raised the black cloth in his hand again.
"Maybe, you would think it's just a different black cloth, but it's not!"
"In this piece of black cloth, there are many pieces of Hailou stone mixed with it. You also know that Hailou stone has an unparalleled suppressing power on bloodline factors."
"So, you can imagine that when the capable person dies, the blood drink factor leaves the body and prepares to find a new fruit for boarding, however..."
"The surrounding area is wrapped in black cloth, and the black cloth is also full of Hailou stone fragments that have a suppressing effect on it. Finally, if there is an apple in the black cloth..."
"How do you think the bloodline factor will be selected?"
hiss. . .
After listening to Vega Punk's explanation, Li Yan instantly understood.
There is no choice but to plunge into the apple in front of you.
Even if he is not the most suitable for him. . .
