Ray of Justice: Pirate's Nightmare

"Okay, it's your turn."

Ling Ye looked at Marco.

There was no fear on Marco's face, only relief.

Perhaps it was Whitebeard's apology that changed Marco's mentality.

The Whitebeard Pirates are more than just a pirate group to him.

He spent almost all his life with the Whitebeard Pirates. Those whom he spent time with day and night were his family members whom he cherished.

But now, there is nothing left. His last spiritual support, his father, also died a second ago.

He has nothing left to miss in this world.

"What are you saying sorry for? There is no father or son who is sorry..."

Marco murmured and looked at Ace again.

"Ace, listen to dad and live a good life."

"Marco..."

Ace's entire soul was lost.

"Let's go."

Being able to say a few final words to Marco was Ling Ye's greatest kindness.

He punched out, but Marco didn't resist at all. A big hole was blown out of his chest and he died on the spot.

"ended……"

Ling Ye let out a long sigh.

The battle between the new navy and the alliance between Whitebeard and the Red-Haired Pirates has finally come to an end here.

"Go back all."

Ling Ye said calmly, there was no need for Ace and Luffy to watch the rest.

Sabo immediately understood and knocked out Ace and Luffy with two hand knives, one on his shoulder.

"Then I'll take Luffy and Ace back first, Marshal Ling Ye."

Ling Ye nodded.

Sabo turned around and walked away without stopping at all.

Just when Ling Ye was about to release the extreme mode, he spotted Whitebeard's body out of the corner of his eye.

"This is……"

I saw white mist exuding from Whitebeard's body, as if his soul was dissipating.

"Brother Sea Dog, Zoro, have you seen it?"

"Claw?"

"what did you see?"

Sea Dog Brother and Zoro said in confusion.

"Really? I see."

Hearing the answers from Sea Dog Brother and Sauron, Ling Ye immediately understood that only he could see this scene.

With speculation in his mind, he looked at Marco and the surrounding pirate corpses, and found that Whitebeard was not the only one emitting white mist. This phenomenon verified the guess he had just made in his mind—that those with fruit abilities would emit this kind of white mist after death.

So, what is the essence of this white mist?

Ling Ye couldn't help but think of a phenomenon.

After a devil fruit user dies, the fruit will reappear in the world at a certain time.

So what is the principle?

He once asked Bega Punk this question.

Vegapunk introduced him to the theory of blood factors.

However, the blood factor theory does not explain why Devil Fruit appears in a certain place in the world at a certain time after the death of the Devil Fruit user.

Until now, Ling Ye had a new guess.

Not from the perspective of genes, etc., but from the perspective of energy theory.

According to energy theory, after someone eats the Devil Fruit, it changes the human body's energy output mode, thus giving the esper a variety of abilities. In essence, Devil Fruit is also a type of energy.

After the devil fruit user dies, the energy of the devil fruit will be separated from the body of the user, dissipate into the white mist he sees now, and then condense again in the form of a fruit somewhere.

The Devil Fruit does not need to be eaten completely, and as long as you have eaten one bite of the Devil Fruit, the remaining fruit will have no effect on others. Even if the Devil Fruit is cut equally, only the first person to eat part of the Devil Fruit will gain the ability.

The reason is probably that not all Devil Fruits are made up of that magical energy. When someone eats the first bite, the energy enters the human body with the mouth, and the remaining energy in the Devil Fruit will be the first to be absorbed. The energy of the Devil Fruit that comes into contact with human energy is drawn into the body of the first person to eat it, causing other parts of the Devil Fruit to lose their effect.

Looking at it this way, the energy theory seems to be more reasonable than the blood factor explanation.

The reason why I haven't seen this phenomenon before may be because I don't use enough energy. And in the extreme state, he has obviously reached the level of energy visible to the naked eye.

Thinking of this, Ling Ye became eager to take action.

"If it's about energy, you can give it a try."

He is very confident in energy manipulation.

"Brother Sea Dog, please go find some fruits as soon as possible."

"Claw."

When Sea Dog heard this, he took off directly to find fruit without asking why.

Ling Ye, on the other hand, gathered together the dead fruit ability users, and then randomly found a fruit ability user. He concentrated his attention and subtly formed an energy vortex in his hand, sucking up the white mist from the fruit ability user like a vacuum cleaner until no more white mist continued to emit.

Almost at the same time that Ling Ye completed this step, Sea Dog Brother also returned after finding the fruit.

Ling Ye gestured with his hand, and Brother Sea Dog handed an apple to Ling Ye's hand. Ling Ye carefully controlled the whirlpool and placed the apple handed to him by Sea Dog Brother in the center of the whirlpool.

Sea Dog Brother and Sauron couldn't understand Ling Ye's behavior at this time. In their opinion, Ling Ye just carefully placed an apple on the palm of the other hand.

But in the next second, that round apple suddenly changed!

Strange patterns appeared on the surface of the apple. The originally smooth surface of the apple suddenly became uneven!

"Claw!"

"This is!"

Sea Dog and Zoro were instantly shocked. An ordinary apple turned into a devil fruit in Ling Ye's hands!

"As expected, then, let's conduct the second experiment. Brother Sea Dog, continue."

After throwing the Devil Fruit to Brother Sea Dog, Ling Ye came to the body of the next fruit-ability user. The difference was that this time he didn't let Brother Sea Dog give him the fruit.

After gathering the devil fruit energy with the energy vortex, Ling Ye adjusted a completely opposite energy wave.

In the eyes of Brother Sea Dog and Sauron, Ling Ye's movements did not cause any phenomena, although Brother Sea Dog sensed that Ling Ye was running energy.

But in Ling Ye's eyes, the devil fruit energy in his hand was disappearing as quickly as ice and snow melting.

Just two breaths and it ceased to exist.

"Very well, all that's left is the third test."

Ling Ye was very satisfied with the results of the second test, and then he conducted a third test.

This time, he did not destroy the Devil Fruit energy or attach it into a Devil Fruit, but instead guided it into his body.

After a while, Ling Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Three experiments are enough to draw conclusions.

The strange effects of Devil Fruit are brought about by Devil Fruit energy. Devil Fruit energy can be eliminated and Devil Fruit energy can be converted into other energies.

Among them, the cost-effectiveness of converting it into other energy is very low, because it needs to be assimilated with its own energy, which is far slower than accumulating energy on its own.

"Then it's time for the main show."

Ling Ye looked at the bodies of Whitebeard and Marco.
