One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 221 Thunder and Freeze

Rorschach collected the Rumble-Rumble Fruits on the ground into his spatial storage, then turned to Kuzan and laughed, "Kuzan, attack me!"

Kuzan paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "You're not thinking of fusing my Devil Fruit power with Smoker's, are you?"

However, he still raised his hand, and countless ice blades shot towards Luo Xia. Luo Xia neither dodged nor evaded, and a burst of light emanated from his body. When the ice blades touched his body, they were instantly absorbed by the light emanating from Luo Xia.

The system's voice kept echoing in my mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 2 Frozen Fruit Fragments]

The series of sounds brought a sense of comfort to Luo Xia.

After about half an hour, Rorschach shattered the remaining ice blades with a wave of his hand.

Luo Xia nodded in satisfaction, and Xuanji waved her hand, and dozens of Devil Fruits appeared in front of her.

"hey-hey."

Rorschach looked at the Devil Fruit in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Now, I can begin."

Luo Xia stored the ten freshly made frozen fruits into his system space, then turned and walked towards the space cube he had just created.

As soon as he entered, Rorschach took out a Rumble-Rumble Fruit and an Ice-Ice Fruit.

Furthermore, the fruits that Rorschach brought out were all about the same color, almost all of them ice blue.

Rorschach was about to begin when he discovered that the cube he had created was surrounded by marines.

Luo Xia paused in his work, looked around, and immediately stood up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Upon seeing that smile, the marines almost simultaneously turned and ran!

They had seen that faint smile of Rorschach's countless times.

These are all lessons learned from being beaten.

Rorschach, who was about to make a move, stopped when he saw that everyone had run away.

Rorschach continued to hold the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Ice-Ice Fruit in his hands, a wisp of blue light enveloping the two fruits.

Enveloped in azure light, the two fruits seemed to gradually merge into one, but why did he always feel that something was wrong?

"Is it because things are going too smoothly?" Luo Xia wondered to himself.

Just as he was wondering, the fruit in his palm suddenly emitted a fierce light, and the fruit in his hand began to shake violently.

"Hmm? Is it about to succeed?" Luo Xia stared intently at the fruit in his palm.

But the next second, a loud bang reached the ears of everyone present.

Garp was shocked and tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Everyone present instinctively took a step back.

Fortunately, Rorschach had prepared in advance and created this spatial cube, otherwise the entire island would have been filled with black smoke.

Garp swallowed hard and shouted loudly into the room, "Kid, are you alright?"

"Is he dead or not?"

However, there was no response whatsoever.

Just as Garp was about to rush over, everyone saw Rorschach emerge from the thick black smoke, his body mostly destroyed in the explosion.

His walking posture was even more unsteady, with a limp.

In an instant, the spatial cube was dispersed, and Luo Xia limped out of it, not forgetting to recover his body as he walked.

"Damn it, I've been tricked! It actually exploded right in front of me, cough cough!"

Luo Xia looked displeased.

Seeing this, Garp breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted Rorschach on the shoulder, "You brat, I almost thought you were dead, hahaha!"

Luo Xia curled his lip and retorted, "Old man, I won't die even if you die."

"You brat..."

Luo Xia rubbed his head, which was still aching from the explosion, and looked at the fruit in his hand, which had been reduced to mere remnants after the failure. He thought to himself, "Looks like I'll have to study this again."

Garp laughed loudly from the side, "Kid, don't be too reckless. Devil Fruit fusion isn't that easy."

Luo Xia snorted, "Old man, what do you know? This was just an accident." After saying that, he took out a few more fruits and prepared to try again.

As time passed, Rorschach emerged, looking exhausted, after consuming all the Devil Fruits he had acquired.

"Damn it, so many, and only three succeeded? Are you kidding me?"

"I was bombed twice, but luckily I'm tough!"

When Luo Xia said that, almost everyone around him twitched at the corner of their mouth.

Some people even thought, "So you know you're tough?"

"We were terrified when we heard the explosion."

At that moment, Smoker walked over and asked, "What about the three you succeeded with?"

With a wave of his hand, Rorschach conjured three luminous fruits on the table.

Gion's eyes lit up when she saw the three fruits on the table. "Wow! They look so beautiful!"

"And both of their abilities are very strong!"

Luo Xia nodded in agreement, "That's right, if yours was just a prototype, then this is the finished product!"

Rorschach looked at Aokiji and Smoker and asked, "Do you two want some?"

"I guarantee your strength will increase greatly after eating this!"

Seeing that the two remained silent, Luo Xia raised an eyebrow. "What? Even you powerful people have things you dare not do?"

"He has absolutely no adventurous spirit!"

"And my Devil Fruit isn't some inferior one that would explode if you ate it."

"How about giving it a try?"

At this moment, Kuzan asked, "Rorschach, aren't you going to eat?"

Rorschach shook his head, glanced at the fruit on the table, and smiled, "I won't eat it!"

"Because I'm afraid of dying!"

"My gut feeling tells me that if I dared to eat it, I would die on the spot!"

Rorschach shrugged. "After all, I've eaten too many Devil Fruits."

As he spoke, Rorschach demonstrated the Devil Fruit abilities he possessed one by one.

The power of vibration, the power of freezing, the power of space, the power of synthesis.

Everyone was so shocked by Luo Xia's demonstration of so many abilities that their mouths were wide enough to fit a chicken.

With so many abilities, and after carefully recalling what Rorschach just said, everything makes sense.

Smoker immediately reached out, picked up a fruit, and took a bite.

In an instant, Smoker's body emitted a strange light. He closed his eyes tightly, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Kuzan watched him nervously, ready to help at any moment.

After a while, the light faded, and Smoker slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. "Feeling pretty good."

Seeing this, Kuzan no longer hesitated and picked up another fruit, swallowing it. After swallowing the fruit, Kuzan's body also glowed, and his expression showed slight pain but quickly returned to normal.

He felt a surge of new power within him and exclaimed in surprise, "This power is very peculiar."

At this moment, Luo Xia suddenly remembered something. He looked at the two of them and said, "I think I forgot to take out the original fruits inside your bodies just now."

"But it seems like everything's fine now."

Luo Xia couldn't help but chuckle at their expressions. "Don't worry, I guarantee with my integrity that there won't be any problems!"
