One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 193: Defeating the Demon Within the Power?

Hanafza's shout immediately drew everyone's attention.

Enel glanced disdainfully at Hanafza, Crocodile's expression was complicated, and Bruno's eyes flashed with a hint of thought.

Kurozumi Orochi's face was filled with envy; he also wanted to surrender and join Luo Ji's ranks.

He smiled and then frowned slightly, as if recalling the evil deeds Hanafza committed when he was a pirate and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

We're considering whether this guy is qualified to join the Luo Ji World Group.

"Hey, so you've finally put down that arrogant head of yours?"

Just a mere Shichibukai, and he really thinks he's so arrogant.

"Me, Ichisho, Yamato, and Ookuma—any one of us could take you down!"

Huang Mu immediately became interested and ran to the sea stone cage with a smile on his face.

In fact, Luo Ji had been keeping these prisoners in these deck cages and making them listen to the conversations and secrets of Luo Ji's world group.

Huang Mu knew that Luo Ji actually wanted to subdue these bastards.

Well, except for that unlucky guy Kurozumi Orochi and that CP9 agent Bruno.

Enel, Hanafza, and Crocodile are all incredibly arrogant.

Now, Hanafza has finally bowed his head first.

Perhaps with Hanafza's example, Crocodile and Enel will gradually fall under Luo Ji's spell.

These powerful combat forces are very useful to the Luo Ji World Group.

It can supplement the combat strength of the middle and upper levels.

"Hmph, let me out, and I'll catch up with you!!"

Hanafza snorted somewhat resentfully, knowing that he was indeed somewhat inferior to these four monsters.

But he's a Shichibukai, after all; you should at least give him some face!

You should know that he went through a great deal of mental struggle before he took the initiative to surrender.

But Luo Ji never actively recruited them, leaving them in the deck cage, tormenting them like a hawk being trained.

Seeing the Luo Ji World Group grow stronger little by little, and now even killing one of the Five Elders.

This made Hanafza put aside his fear of the World Government.

The Luo Ji World Group is too powerful, ridiculously powerful, and it's worth it for him to submit to them.

"Hahaha! Catch up with us? You probably won't even see our backs."

Huang Mu laughed proudly; he was ready to aim for the 30 billion Berry bounty.

Hanafzai couldn't even beat Fire Fist Ace, who had a bounty of 550 million Berries.

Even if Hanafza joins the World of Lore now and the wanted poster is reinstated, the bounty would probably only be a little over 5 million Berries.

Hanafza is a disgrace to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Of course, that Crocodile doesn't seem to be much stronger either.

"you!!"

Hanafza was so angry that his face turned red, and he suddenly regretted taking the initiative to surrender.

To be subjected to such humiliation!

"Wildgrass, say less."

Luo Ji saw that Hanafza seemed to be showing signs of being humiliated and could not let this 'role model' who had taken the initiative to surrender back down.

Otherwise, Crocodile and Enel would be even less likely to submit.

In that case, does that mean we really have to let Dr. Vegapunk modify their memories?

Or perhaps they could wait until the Dark-Dark Fruit's power appears, and then forcibly seize their abilities.

"Are you sure you want to join us? Once you join us, there's no turning back."

Luo Ji slowly walked to the stone cage and looked at Hanafza with deep eyes.

"I know the rules of this ocean!! I also believe in morality!"

Hanaf squinted, exhaled a deep, angry breath, and shouted sternly, his expression somewhat ferocious.

"Haha! Welcome to the team!"

Luo Ji stared intently into Hanafza's eyes, a red light flashing within them. Then, laughing loudly, he took the key and opened the Sea Stone Cage. He pulled open the Sea Stone Cage door with his left hand, showing no sign of weakness.

"You're actually not afraid of Seastone!"

Hanafza watched as Luo Ji opened the Seastone Gate and even personally removed the Seastone handcuffs and shackles for him, his expression somewhat complicated.

This monstrous captain is fearless of seawater, impervious to seastone, and can even foresee the future...

This is absolutely outrageous!

"The devil in the Devil Fruit was probably killed by me by accident, so its curse has disappeared, and sea stone and seawater have no effect on me."

Luo Ji smiled faintly, as if it were true.

In fact, he didn't know where the curse in the demonic power went when [Xingshang] was activated.

"They killed the Devil Fruit's Devil Fruit inside!?"

"Luo Ji, why didn't you tell me about these things!"

"Tell me quickly how to defeat the devil in the Devil Fruit power! I want to swim too! I don't want to be a landlubber!!"

As soon as Luo Ji finished speaking, everyone was surprised. Yamato even pounced on Luo Ji's back and kept asking for the secret to removing the curse.

"Can a Devil Fruit ability kill a demon? Can a curse be removed?"

Dr. Vegapunk seemed to have heard some earth-shattering secret and quickly took out a notebook to write it down.

This is a super research topic that could have a global impact.

If we could break the curse on Devil Fruit abilities.

He felt he could thoroughly understand the origin and nature of Devil Fruits.

Do unspeakable demons truly exist among Devil Fruit abilities?

In the awakening process of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, there is indeed a phenomenon where the Devil Fruit consciousness invades the user's consciousness.

This is called awakening failure.

The Jailer Beasts in Impel Down are an example of a failed Zoan-type ability awakening.

The consciousness of these ability users seems to be dominated by the 'devil consciousness' and 'animal instinct' inherent in Devil Fruits.

They become some stupid jailer beasts with only animal instincts and a broken will.

"Could it be that a person with superpowers can really take that step and defeat the demon, breaking the curse?"

Not only were the members of the Luo Ji World Group shocked, but even Crocodile and the others' expressions changed drastically.

If Luo Ji can teach them to break the curse of Devil Fruit abilities, then the Luo Ji World Group will become even more terrifying.

Could Luo Ji really possess such a shocking secret?

"Forget about it! My situation is very special, and it's basically impossible for you to remove the curse!"

Luo Ji felt he had blown his own horn out of proportion, so he quickly added a patch.

"It's basically impossible, but that means it's still possible?"

Dr. Vegapunk said very seriously and meticulously that he would study it regardless of whether it would work or not.

After all, he had even studied giantification and artificial natural systems.

Great science is not afraid of any difficulties!

Moreover, there is a huge success story right in front of us, like Luo Ji.

Going from 0 to 1 is difficult, but having the example of 1 is practically equivalent to success.

In an instant, Vegapunk stared at Luo Ji with shining eyes.

Even if it means imitation, reverse engineering, or slicing... he will still research it.

"Hey, hey, hey, you have something wrong with your eyes!"

When Luo Ji saw the longing look in Vegapunk's mad scientist eyes, his scalp tingled.

He wanted Dr. Vegapunk to study Blackbeard Teach's alien secrets, but he didn't want himself, a transmigrator, to be studied by Vegapunk.

Luo Ji knew that his cheat was not universal and could not be replicated!

Unless he is truly powerful enough to break the rules of the world and forcibly break the curse of Devil Fruit abilities for everyone.

But Luo Ji could only silently complain about Mother Nature in his heart.

Do you think I still have a chance?
