One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Lifespan is a taboo concept. As long as you are still human, you can't achieve immortality, kid."

Maz persuaded earnestly.

In his opinion, it was too early for Anna to think about eternal life when she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

No matter what, you have to have invincible strength before you can consider immortality. Immortality does not mean immortality. Even if you have a devil fruit that can prolong your life, there is nothing you can do if you are killed by someone.

"So, then Carsente's ability also doesn't allow him to live longer?"

Anna asked back. After six months of getting along with him, she had a preliminary understanding of Carsent's abilities.

"This one……"

Maz was speechless for a moment. Even the Five Elders had never seen Carsen's situation. If the abilities of the five mythical beasts of the Five Elders were almost equivalent to awakened mythical beasts, then Carsen's situation was almost equivalent to fusion and evolution.

According to the research of scientists under the Five Elder Stars, Carsen has been evolving at a higher level of life. This seemingly immortal person can actually live forever.

But Carsente's situation is unique and simply cannot be replicated.

"Immortality may be too illusory, but there are three ways to achieve longevity."

Faced with Anna's question, Maz, who was unable to answer, simply changed his perspective.

Since you are concerned about eternal life, I will tell you this. You can't continue to ask questions.

"The first is a special devil fruit. Currently, only the time fruit and the mythical beast vampire fruit are known to be able to do this. The time fruit can travel back and forth in the torrent of time."

"But the time spent essentially did not extend."

"And the whereabouts of the mythical beast's vampire fruit is unknown. This fruit can extend lifespan indefinitely by sucking blood and plundering the vitality of others."

"But this is the power of the devil fruit after all. When the devil fruit can no longer be used, you will still slowly age and die."

"The second type is pure gold, a metal that exists only in legends. The light emitted by pure gold can infinitely delay the progress of life, but it cannot protect you. On the contrary, pure gold will suppress the healing of wounds after you are injured."

"It can suppress aging indefinitely, and the lifespan can reach thousands of years."

"The third one is the superhuman surgery fruit. After the surgery fruit user reaches the awakening state, if he is willing to sacrifice his own life, he can cooperate with the superb medical skills."

"You can actually perform the immortality surgery, sacrificing your own life to allow the person who receives the surgery to achieve complete immortality, but this kind of immortality will still be killed."

No matter what, Maz emphasized again and again that immortality does not mean invincibility. No matter how long you live, no matter how you can be killed, it is all over.

"Yeah, okay, I get it, Grandpa."

Anna nodded. With the help of her ability to sense emotions, the intelligent Anna easily understood Maz's care and concern.

"In that case, I choose this fruit!"

There was a final hesitation, a moment of silence, and then Anna pointed to the devil fruit on the table, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty hall.

"Very good, you won't regret your decision if you know the full news!"

"Since you have decided, take it here. If there are any special situations, Carsente and I can help you immediately."

"Ok!"

Anna nodded heavily, the hesitation in her eyes gradually faded away, and a firm look filled her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Anna opened the wooden box and brought the fruit surrounded by strange patterns to her mouth.

"Crack!"

Without any hesitation, Anna opened her mouth and bit down.

In an instant, Anna's pretty face twisted together, and an indescribable taste filled Anna's mouth.

The strong smell made Anna feel sick.

Anna took a deep breath and tried not to vomit. She leaned back in her chair, with two tears in the corners of her eyes.

The fruit in his hand slid to the ground, the strange pattern on it had disappeared, and all that was left was a fruit with a bite taken out of it.

“It’s so unpalatable…”

Whenever Anna recalled the smell just now, she felt a subconscious fear and retreat.

It's as if, as if...

Anna really couldn't think of anything to compare it to. From childhood to adulthood, the food, clothing, housing and transportation that Maz Saint had provided Anna with were all top-notch in the world. Anna really couldn't think of anything that could compare to the taste of this thing.

If people knew that devil fruits tasted like this, there would probably be fewer people in the world eating devil fruits.

It took Anna a long time to recover and stand up again.

"Feel the changes in your body and get familiar with your Devil Fruit right away!"

Maz's voice calmed Anna down, and she began to slowly get familiar with the power of her body.

"I feel... I feel a warm current flowing through my body. What a powerful force!"

Anna sighed softly. She had never felt so strong before.

As if nourished by the warm current, every cell in the body is greedily absorbing energy and then undergoing a leap forward evolution.

After a long time, Anna opened her eyes again, her deep purple eyes revealing a breathtaking aura.

"The Human-Human Fruit Mythical Beast Dark Angel Form!"

Anna opened her lips slightly and pointed out the name of this devil fruit.

"It's a very powerful ability. I feel an unprecedented comfort and fullness. This is definitely the most suitable devil fruit for me!"

As she spoke, Anna stood up with her right palm facing up. A dark purple energy ball kept circling over the palm of Anna's hand, and a terrifying aura gradually spread.

"boom!"

Anna threw the ball of light backhandedly. Wherever the ball of light passed, the ground and walls of the training ground gradually withered. The pure white walls were gradually covered with dark purple shadows, then softened and collapsed.

Where the light ball fell, a powerful explosion engulfed everything, and the area within a hundred meters was completely destroyed by this strange and powerful energy.

"Well, it's quite powerful. The destructive power it causes is enough to rival that of ordinary CP0."

"You are able to have such a powerful attack power right after obtaining the Devil Fruit. It seems that this Devil Fruit is indeed suitable for you."

Maz Saint nodded. It seemed that Anna’s final choice was correct. Marijoa’s Gravity Fruit and Black Dragon Fruit could not possibly be so highly compatible with Anna.

"Then, with the help of my observation Haki, I can clearly sense your emotional tendencies, even to the point of reading your mind."

"And I have the ability to intervene, guide, or even devour some emotions. I can't completely deprive you of emotions yet, but I may be able to do it in the future."

Anna uttered shocking words softly.

The fruit that can interfere with emotions is an incredible, almost taboo ability.

A hundred years ago, the person with the ability of the Emotion Fruit stirred up a storm in the sea. Countless powerful people hated him but could do nothing about it...
