Voyage: Why Did I Get The Protagonist Script By Mistake?

"Well...I once saw a mural somewhere. It showed a tree with some fruits next to it. I guessed that this was the devil fruit tree. As for that place...well, I forgot. But , it’s just not on the main text of the stone tablet.”

"..."

Dylan rolled his eyes, he didn't believe him. This old man had lost his memory. He clearly didn't want to tell him on purpose.

"Then what……"

"Gone."

"Huh? Not anymore?" Dylan wanted to run away again.

"Young man, be patient."

"..."

Crocus stroked his beard and spoke again: "Most of the people who know that legend are probably gone, right? Even Roger doesn't know about it."

Mentioning Roger, Ace's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Dylan thought to himself, as expected, Crocus doesn't know Ace's identity.

Too!

Ace has not yet been taken to Marineford, and his identity has not been made public. Now the only ones who know his identity are Garp, Luffy, Sabo, and the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, not everyone under Whitebeard knows about it, not even the Great Vortex Spider Scuyard.

This name, for Ace, is complicated, "painful and happy".

There is hate, and of course there is love.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said to the red-haired man that he was going to become the 'Pirate King'. Roger still has a deep influence on Ace. At least Ace is following in his father's footsteps.

Well?

Before boarding the Whitebeard ship!

After boarding the ship, my mood changed a bit. After having a father, I thought about making Whitebeard the "Pirate King".

Not wanting him to be sad, and not wanting him to reveal his secret, Dylan changed the subject.

"Old man, then...who still knows about that legend?"

"Who?" Crocus thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Probably someone of my age. Whitebeard might know, and then there's Sengoku and...forget it, it's useless to talk about it."

What he actually wanted to say was that the Five Elders must know!

But this is a taboo.

"Listen, kid, uncle, I only know one characteristic of the Devil Fruit tree. When the Devil Fruit tree appears again, the Devil Fruit... will never grow again."

"What...what do you mean?"

Not only Dylan, but also Ace was stunned.

"That is to say, after the esper dies, the Devil Fruit will not continue to appear somewhere, but will return to the Devil Fruit tree."

Dylan was stunned for a while, then jumped up in shock: "Nani? That, that, that, that, that...that means...will it appear on me?"

"Ah! If you eat the devil fruit tree, it will naturally come back to you. That's why I said, your luck is very heaven-defying. If the fruit tree were bigger, you wouldn't be able to eat it."

Boom, Dylan fell to the ground with a pale face: "I...I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Ace, remember that after I die, burn me to ashes and give me a grave."

Ace shuddered violently and looked at the half-dead Dylan with a confused look on his face: "Uncle, is it really the Devil Fruit Tree? Then he won't..."

"Everyone else can eat one Devil Fruit because of their luck. They will explode and die after eating two designated Devil Fruits. And I... ate the Devil Fruit tree? If a person with abilities dies and all the fruits return to me, then what? Am I not..."

Dylan lay flat on the ground, feeling sorry for himself.

Ace didn't know how to comfort him, but the amount of information was a bit... astonishing.

"Ah hahahahaha." Crocus suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "You said yourself that eating the Devil Fruit is heaven-defying luck. So if you eat the Devil Fruit tree, don't you have even more heaven-defying luck? Since you haven’t died after eating it for a week, it won’t be so easy to die.”

Dylan suddenly opened his eyes and thought about it carefully, huh?

If he was going to die, he would have died a long time ago. How come he hasn't died in a week?

As soon as he got up, Dylan asked fearfully: "Uncle, what's going on with my flames?"

Crocus thought for a moment and suddenly looked at Ace: "Have you ever met him?"

"certainly!"

Ace nodded, he was carrying Dylan onto the boat, how could he not have touched it.

After pondering for a while, Crocus made a guess that shocked both of them.

"I guess... it was after touching you that little Dylan gained the ability of Mera-mera Fruit!"

"ha?"

"How can this be?"

"It's not impossible! The Devil Fruit tree gave birth to Devil Fruit. As the mother body that carries these abilities, the fruit tree itself...may also have some magical abilities."

"Furthermore, the fruit produced by the fruit tree itself. Since it can grow the fruit of Five-flowered Eight Gate's abilities, nature itself...may also have these abilities."

"Perhaps after coming into contact with an ability user, you can use the corresponding ability?"

After a brief moment of sluggishness, Dylan became ecstatic!

Damn, Cheat is so cool?

What if this is true? Isn't that the big villain in the American TV series "Heroes" who can copy the superpowers of other heroes?

Wo Cao, this is too... too heaven-defying, right?

It's been a week.

Dylan and Ace have been in the belly of Laboon the whale for a week.

Perhaps it was the return of Ace's old friends that strengthened Laboon's owners' belief that they could come back again, but they didn't bump into the Red Line again this week.
