One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

Arriving at Vegapunk's exclusive laboratory, Jig glanced at Caesar who followed him and said,

"You don't have to come in."

Upon hearing this, Caesar immediately stopped and watched Zigg and Vegapunk walk into the laboratory.

This laboratory is much larger than the one where Stussy is, and has more complete equipment.

As soon as Vegapunk came in, he started to tinker with various equipment. Zigg looked around the room and noticed that there were a lot of red apples on a table.

Coming to the table, Jiger picked up an apple and turned it in his hand. There was a small part of purple on the apple, and it seemed to be rotten.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this purple part is extremely shiny and feels very smooth, and it does not look broken at all.

Looking at other apples, some have larger purple areas, and even have several circular patterns alternating between dark green and light green.

When Jiger saw this, he roughly understood what was going on with these apples. He turned around and asked,

"Vegapunk, is this the artificial fruit you're researching?"

Vegapunk was concentrating on debugging a device. He nodded and said,

"Yes, it was made by extracting the demonic factor from Kaido, but those are all failures. It will take some time to succeed."

"Well, you will succeed, I have no doubt about that."

Vegapunk looked at Zig in surprise and said thank you.

Jiger smiled and said,

"You were born for science. As long as you don't think about messy things and concentrate on doing your science, the World Government will give you as much research funding as you want."

Vegapunk nodded, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not. He asked Jiger to lie down on a laboratory table and took off his shirt.

Then, Vegapunk took out a number of tubes with suction cups at the ends and attached them to Giger's exposed skin.

A series of data immediately appeared on the screen of an instrument next to the experimental table. Vegapunk pinched his chin with one hand, and a look of amazement gradually appeared on his face.

"It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that the bloodline factor used on you back then would integrate so well. This is simply a scientific miracle!"

Hearing this, Jiger first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked,

"Are you sure that the two bloodline factors have been integrated? Then why can't I feel any power belonging to the Lunalia clan?"

"From the data above, the degree of integration of the Lunaria bloodline factor with your body is already very good, but it should have been integrated not long ago. Compared with the fur tribe, it is still too short. I remember that you, Jig Saint, awakened some of the power of the fur tribe when you were a child."

Jiger nodded. That was when Lucia broke into the laboratory to save him. He was less than eight years old at that time.

Thinking of this, Jiger asked,

"Doesn't that mean we'll have to wait a long time?"

"No, your body is much stronger now than when you were a child. The Lunaria bloodline factor has also been developing with your body over the years. Now it is very compatible with your body and will merge very quickly. If you encounter some kind of opportunity again, maybe its power will be fully awakened immediately."

"Opportunity? Like a battle?"

"Well, fighting beyond the limit is indeed a very effective means of stimulating fusion."

After saying that, Vegapunk seemed to suddenly think of something and said,

"Gig Saint, maybe some of the characteristics of the Lunaria people have already appeared in you, but you just don't feel it."

Jiger was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously touched his back to confirm whether he had grown wings.

However, the skin on his back felt extremely smooth, without even a pimple.

Vegapunk asked Zig to get down from the experimental table first, then he ran out. When he came back, he was holding a large flamethrower in his arms.

He pointed the flamethrower at Jig and said,

"Gig Saint, I know that your Armament Haki is very strong and you are a natural ability user, but I hope you won't resist and try to feel the flames with your body. Of course, if you feel pain later, you can stop it directly."

Jiger also understood Vegapunk's intention at this moment. He nodded with interest, then took the initiative to walk to an open space, opened his arms, and said,

"You can start now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vegapunk pressed the button without any hesitation, and a ball of raging flames instantly engulfed Zig's body.

The clothes on Giger's lower body were quickly reduced to ashes by the flames, but his skin showed no signs of damage, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He looked like he was bathing in flames.

In fact, he didn't feel any burning sensation at all.

Vegapunk kept using the flamethrower until the fuel ran out, and Zig walked out calmly from the ground that was still burning with flames, naked.

Jiger took out a new pair of pants from the Dark Bible and put them on. Although they were "washed" by the flames for a long time, he was in a good mood and smiled at Vegapunk.

"It seems you are right."

However, Vegapunk was still not satisfied. With a rigorous scientific attitude, he brought a large basin of water to Jiger and said,

"Gig Saint, this is a basin of clean water. Put your head in it and try to see if you can breathe. This level of breathing shouldn't make you feel weak."

Vegapunk didn't know that Ziger had the bug of the demon sword Muramasa. Let alone this basin of clean water, even if Ziger immersed himself in the sea, there would be no problem.

But there was no need for Zig to explain this to Vegapunk, so he simply put his head in the water and tried to breathe as usual.

When he first came up, Jiger did choke for a moment, but soon his breathing became smoother until it was no different from breathing in the air.

Jiger tilted his head back and wiped his wet hair back with his hand, with a look of joy on his face.

This was his first time trying to breathe underwater. Ever since he got the demon sword Muramasa, although he was not afraid of the sea, he would still instinctively hold his breath when diving underwater.

If he hadn't tried it deliberately today, he really wouldn't have discovered this characteristic of his.

He was already 100% certain that the racial characteristics of the Lunalia people, which allowed them to adapt to any natural environment, had been perfectly displayed in him.

Of course, the most critical thing is the fire ability. The destructive power of fire is secondary. What Jiger wants is the terrifying defense and speed of the Lunalia people!
