Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: The Choice of Fruit

In less than five minutes, Otohime became energetic again, both the physical and mental fatigue were completely dispelled.

"So amazing, can the Heal-Heal Fruit also heal fatigue?", Otohime said in surprise.

She had also seen the Devil Fruit compendium, knew about all kinds of Devil Fruit abilities, but didn't know the Heal-Heal Fruit had such a good effect.

"Every Devil Fruit cannot be looked at with normal eyes," Sora smiled, "They may seem to follow the rules of the world, but Devil Fruits themselves break the laws of the world. According to His Highness's words, Devil Fruits are the power of concepts."

"The power of concepts?", Otohime looked puzzled, and at the same time she didn't forget her work, recording the malice she detected with Observation Haki on paper and handing it to Sora for integration.

Sora's classification and organization were far better than hers, like a well-oiled machine, coordinating thousands of people as if it were child's play.

"Just like the Heal-Heal Fruit," Sora couldn't be bothered to interrupt the conversation, writing slips of paper one after another, each marked with the name of the person to be dispatched and the task, then handing them to Nia and Iya waiting beside her, letting them run the errands.

"The Heal-Heal Fruit, sounds like a fruit for healing injuries, but the scope of healing is not limited to wounds. The development of the fruit follows imagination rather than physical laws. If the ability user believes fatigue is an injury, then the Heal-Heal Fruit can heal it."

This was a rule summarized long ago.

It's just that because Otohime is a mermaid, and there are too few mermaids and fish-men who eat Devil Fruits, she didn't understand this.

"Then Saint Rosse's fruit, doesn't that mean in theory he can control the entire ocean?", Otohime said in shock.

She didn't know the specific name of the fruit Rosse ate, but had heard from Gion and Rosse's conversations that it was called the Sea God Fruit.

"In theory, yes. But this requires His Highness to have enough stamina. After all, controlling the entire ocean is not just a matter of imagination, it's also a matter of physical strength," Sora said with a smile.

She actually felt that one day in the future, maybe Rosse could really achieve this step.

"Then Sora-nee, what about your fruit?", Otohime became even more curious about Devil Fruits, but as a mermaid, she was still a bit hesitant about whether to consume one.

After all, once a mermaid eats a Devil Fruit, she can no longer swim freely in the sea, which is not much different from a human losing their legs.

"My fruit is the Brain-Brain Fruit. As the name suggests, it allows for precise control of the brain, enabling memory storage, analysis, categorization, and logical reasoning."

"The average person uses about 5% of their brain, but after eating the fruit, I can use 100%. However, with my physical condition, I can't maintain it for long," Sora explained.

Regarding her ability, Otohime and the others had long known. Her ability wasn't combat-oriented, so there was nothing to hide.

On the contrary, the more people who knew, perhaps someone might propose better ideas, which would also help her develop the fruit.

A person's imagination, in the end, is limited.

And her imagination, compared to Rosse, was completely lacking. Those bizarre technologies, just understanding them took her a while.

But strangely, every piece of technology that at first seemed fantastical, as Rosse explained more deeply and she kept analyzing, she was surprised to find they could possibly be realized.

Like the simple computer currently in use, which Rosse called the "first-generation computer."

Following the direction provided by Rosse, Sora felt that in less than three years, she could manufacture a higher-performance computer with powerful storage capacity based on Rosse's concept.

The internet, on the other hand, was a difficult matter. The difficulty wasn't in how to build a network, those theories Rosse only needed to explain once roughly, and through high-speed thinking, Sora roughly understood how to operate.

The key was, network connection needed a medium. The simplest method was to run cables for connection, but the distance between islands was too great. If they really wanted to connect them all, it would be a massive project.

So Sora had been thinking about alternatives, like using Den Den Mushi or other things as base stations to replace cables for transmission.

But this raised another problem: Den Den Mushi could handle simple conversations, but if transmitting large amounts of information, not to mention the issue of lag, the Den Den Mushi would die of brain failure on the spot.

Even Sora didn't have a good solution to this.

So Sora always felt that she wasn't truly a smart person. Rosse was much smarter than she was.

If she really wanted to use the Brain-Brain Fruit to surpass Vegapunk, she should draw on others' ideas and experiences to perfect herself and strive to exceed.

"What an amazing ability," Otohime's eyes shone with envy. Just hearing Sora's explanation, she already knew how good that fruit was.

Even though its power increase was almost zero, she didn't mind the power aspect.

If it could improve her brain, it would help her come up with more solutions and better lead the Fish-Man Kingdom forward. That was what she really cared about.

"Sora-nee, which fruit do you think suits me?", Otohime asked subconsciously.

She hadn't thought clearly about whether she would eat a fruit, but that didn't stop her from asking first.

"At present, I can think of about three," Sora smiled and lightly shook three fingers.

"Three? That many?", Otohime said in surprise.

She hadn't expected that there would be so many fruits suitable for her.

"Not many. These three are from His Highness's stock. If you include fruits existing in the world, there would be even more," Sora said with a smile.

"Which three?", Otohime asked.

"Paramecia—Hear-Hear Fruit, Zoan, Mythical Beast Type—Yama-Uba Fruit, Logia—Rumble-Rumble Fruit," Sora said with a smile.

To outsiders, this information was definitely classified. Normally, she shouldn't even know this.

But Rosse seemed to have already known Otohime would ask, so he let her explain these things.

It was true that eating a fruit meant you couldn't swim in seawater, but Rosse's ability was to control seawater. He could completely isolate the special substances in the water, creating an environment where Otohime could swim freely.

Anyway, they didn't expect Otohime to be a scout, so naturally they hoped she could eat a fruit. Otherwise, with her physique, she was just too weak.

"Mythical Beast Type? Logia?", Otohime exclaimed.

'Too precious.'

So precious that she was embarrassed to even ask.

She didn't know Rosse's thoughts, so after only hesitating for a moment, she decisively asked, "Besides these three, if I want another fruit, how can I obtain it?"

Otohime didn't want Sora to see through her thoughts, so she simply didn't mention the Hear-Hear Fruit.

From what she knew of Rosse and Sora, even the most precious Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Rosse might give it to her unconditionally.
