Leaving the North Blue Seasu003cBAMMM !!! u003e
A big explosion occurred in the middle of the ocean that was initially calm. Seen in the form of a blue dragon-shaped Sea King is fighting with another Sea King that has a size five times that of the Sea Dragon.
A few hundred meters from the Sea King battle, Itachi stood on the ocean watching the battle. Itachi uses his Chakra to stand on the water. Walking on water and walking on walls is a Ninja skill that only requires a little chakra but requires very good chakra control.
Of course Itachi who was a Ninja Genius easily achieved this, moreover his Chakra control level was already at an extreme level.
"Avoiding the bites then activating camouflage and Water Cannon fire from a distance. For now you can"t fight him directly. But you still have a chance if you fight him from a distance." Itachi gave Shen a mental direction.
u003cBAMM !! BAMMM !! u003e
"If the body is too hard, then you must fire the Water Cannon right in the mouth when the jaw is open to bite you. Do it continuously."
A few hours later the Sea King, which had a size of more than two thousand meters, fell and floated on the surface of the sea. Nearly half of the Sea King"s head has been destroyed. Not far from there was a Sea Dragon whose body was covered with bite wounds, but happiness could be seen from the look in his eyes.
Itachi then took some of the Sea King meat and handed the rest to Shen. It took two full days for Shen to spend Sea King, which was five times his size. Itachi was quite surprised to see Shen being able to eat Sea King"s entire body. But Itachi immediately understood the reason after Shen said that his digestive system was extraordinary.
"Fiuhhhh ... Looks like I don"t need to eat anymore for several years. Sea King meat is very delicious and full of energy." Shen"s voice was heard in Itachi"s mind.
"For the time being, it seems like you really can"t break into the New World with your current strength. Although I"m sure that we can do it if I interfere. But right now I don"t have any business that makes me have to go there, so I"m not too Hurry up. Let"s get out of here, I feel a bigger and stronger presence coming here. "
u003cOne month lateru003e
Itachi was currently standing on top of Shen"s head, he looked towards the mountain which was quite strange because on the mountain flowing water flowed to the top of the mountain. That is Reverse Mountain, a mountain that separates four seas, North Blue, West Blue, East Blue and South Blue.
"The sea current is too small for you to pa.s.s, do you know any other way ??" Itachi asked Shen mentally.
"Yes, Itachi-sama. We can pa.s.s the labyrinth below the mountain, but because the labyrinth is quite long, so it takes a long time to get through the labyrinth to the ocean on the other side," Shen replied.
"Are you sure you can pa.s.s the labyrinth ??"
"Yes, Itachi-sama. If other creatures that pa.s.s through the Labyrinth may be lost forever. But my Ancestors have explored the Labyrinth, so I can get through it."
"Hmm,,, that"s interesting. Well, we"re going to pa.s.s through the labyrinth. I also need to experiment with the people I caught before."
Then Shen dived into the ocean floor. Itachi, who is currently in Shen"s body, did not realize that the place he was going to pa.s.s was the most important and sought after by many people throughout the world. He will return to that place in the future together with his "friends". But it is another adventure for later in the future.
In a room inside the Sea Dragon"s body. In his research, Itachi got something interesting. Because someone will not be able to swim in the sea after eating Devil Fruit, and if the Devil Fruit user is in the ocean, then the power of his Devil Fruit will not function.
But if the Devil Fruit user is only dampened or flushed with sea water, then that person"s body will weaken but the power of Devil Fruit will continue to function.
In contrast to sea stone, if a Devil Fruit user touches the stone, the Devil Fruit"s power will immediately be neutralized and will not function, that person"s body will weaken.
But the thing that attracted Itachi was the Devil Fruit itself. Itachi can see that each Devil Fruit has a wave pattern or a whirlpool pattern around the Devil Fruit. But the Pattern reminded him of the Uzumaki symbol, using his Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi realized that the whirlpool pattern around the fruit was a seal, or rather a curse seal.
If someone eats the fruit, that person will automatically be cursed, in return for strength. The curse will stick directly to the Soul of the person who eats the fruit so as to form curse patterns in that person"s soul, this is the Soul curse. Itachi was sure that the Curse would not be lost and would continue to stick inside the Devil Fruit user"s soul until death.
Even with Itachi"s intelligence, he still couldn"t open the seal on the fruit. So Itachi tried to burn the seal that enveloped the fruit with his Amaterasu. With his extraordinary control, Itachi can focus on burning seals on Devil Fruit without damaging his fruit.
As Itachi had expected, it worked. But it takes several days for the seal on the fruit to disappear completely, from here alone Itachi knows how powerful the seal is.
At this time Itachi has 4 Devil Fruits that are not too great, according to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia that Itachi has read, Devil Fruits are Zoan squirrels, frogs, birds and horses. Three Devil Fruits no longer have a whirlpool pattern, which means Itachi has removed the curse seal of the fruit.
Itachi fed the Devil Fruit user with a fruit that still had a seal pattern, after the person ate it, Itachi saw two curse seals in the demon fruit user"s soul raging, his body trembled violently, his eyes bulged and his jaw was wide open as if people it wants to scream but cannot do it because of extreme pain. After a while, the man died with blood flowing from all the holes in his body.
Shortly after the person died, Itachi saw a faint but dense clump of Energy that shot from inside that person"s body very quickly, Itachi was sure that normal people would not be able to see that energy, even Itachi who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan did not have time to see clearly what that energy, so he will be more careful in the future.
Then Itachi feeds other Devil Fruit users but with a fruit that doesn"t have a curse seal pattern. At first after that person ate Devil Fruit, nothing happened. But then the same thing as before happened to the body of the person but had different initial symptoms.
Because the Devil Fruit doesn"t have a curse seal, when the Devil Fruit user eats the fruit, the curse seal inside the person"s soul does not run amok, but Itachi sees the blood flow from that person flowing very fast and continues to grow faster, then the blood immediately rushed out from all holes and pores of the man"s body, and a few moments later there was a small popping sound in the man"s body. As Itachi watched the man"s body, Itachi saw that the man"s heart had exploded.
Immediately after the person"s death, a lump of Energy immediately shot out from inside that person"s body. At this moment Itachi"s pupils were slightly spinning. Because he was in an extreme state of focus, Itachi could see the movement of the blob of energy that was going to fly quickly. Itachi felt that the lump of Energy was harmless, so he tried to capture that energy, but Itachi only caught empty air, he could see the energy penetrating his hand, then sped away quickly.
But Itachi was not discouraged, he had an idea to be able to capture that energy later, so he began his next experiment.
At this time Itachi is feeding Zoan Devil Frogs Fruits that don"t have a seal pattern on people who don"t have Devil Fruit strength. After the person ate it, Itachi saw that the person did not have a curse seal in his soul.
Itachi threw the person into the pool of seawater that was inside Shen"s body, suddenly the person turned into a frog and swam freely in the pool and did not look weak at all. Itachi also handcuffed the person with sea stones, but still no change occurred, the person still looked like a frog and his strength did not weaken.
Then Itachi made that person eat other Devil Fruits, of course it was Devil Fruit that didn"t have a seal pattern. But after the person ate Devil Fruit, No miracle happened, the person died with blood coming out of the pores and all the holes in his body, his heart had exploded.
Two lumps of energy came out of the body of the man who had just died. Itachi immediately caught one of them, and it worked. At this time Itachi"s hand was filled with greenish-colored chakra, it was a Mystic Palm that was used by Tsunade or medical Ninja. Itachi cannot use this Mystic Palm too long, because it not only requires good Chakra control, but it also requires quite a lot of Chakra, and Itachi does not currently have that luxury.
Then the Blob of Energy slowly showed its form, it was Zoan Frog"s Devil Fruit type, but strangely the pattern of seals appeared again enveloping the fruit, which meant that if the person who ate Devil Fruit without the seal died, then the seal would return to Devil Fruit.
From the results of this study Itachi realized that if Devil Fruit users die, then Devil Fruit that has been eaten will come out of the body, most likely it will reappear in random places around the world. And also someone will not be able to eat two Devil Fruits, unless that person eats Devil Fruit that does not have a seal pattern and also has a strong heart endurance.
Itachi believes that someone in this world might have a way to open or break the seal pattern on the Devil Fruit. And of the many human races that live in this world, Itachi also believes that there will be people who have endurance that is abnormal.
So it wouldn"t be strange if there was someone who would be able to use the two powers of Devil Fruits. But Itachi felt that he was the only person who could capture the Devil Fruit Energy from inside the dead user"s body. Because Itachi believes that in this world only he has the Mangekyo Sharingan and Chakra. And if ninjas in this world have Chakra, they definitely won"t have a Sharingan.
Several days pa.s.sed, Itachi was currently unifying his views with Shen. He saw a labyrinth that was so dark that it was so large that Shen could move freely.
A few moments later Itachi arrived at a very large room which was probably as large as Konoha. The place is very beautiful, the radiant crystals around the place illuminate the surrounding ecosystem.
Right in the middle of the place, there was a whirlpool like a tornado heading up above that made the tornado look like a supporting post.
The environment in this place is very beautiful, lots of sea plants and various kinds of fish that swim happily in this place.
Itachi seems to know this place, this place is All-Blue, according to the book that Itachi got in the Cave the first time, All-Blue is a paradise for underwater life. One of the mysterious places that are sought after by chefs all over the world.
But this place is almost never found. From its name alone, All-Blue, Itachi is convinced that the place is the waters where four oceans meet, North Blue, West Blue, East Blue and South Blue. And where Itachi is currently is right under Reverse Mountain and the whirlpool that forms a tornado is the effect of the meeting of 4 very swift ocean currents that are at the top of Reverse Mountain.
Itachi feels that the same place can be found at another Red Point, namely at Mary Geoise, where four oceans meet on the other side of the world. But Itachi did not plan to go there looking for All-Blue, because Itachi was not too interested in this.
After Itachi told Shen to catch a lot of fish in that place, Itachi immediately continued his journey.
Almost a month has pa.s.sed in the Labyrinth, even though the journey was quite boring, but Itachi didn"t really care, because in this Life itachi didn"t have a purpose, it was different in his previous life because itachi had a goal to protect Konoha, so at the moment itachi isn"t too hasty hurry up.
At first Itachi wanted to go to East Blue, according to Rumors that the area was the weakest of the four seas. But Itachi planned to go to the Grand Line first, there was no reason for that, Itachi just wanted to go there.
Besides, it is very easy for Shen to go from the Grand Line to West Blue or South Blue, because Shen only needs to swim through the Calm Belt without fearing the Sea King there, because Sea King on the Grand Line is not too dangerous for Shen, Shen also does not need to be afraid lost because he has the Map of the world in his head.
(A / N: At this time Itachi is 20 years old and Law is 22 years old. Only two years before the start of Cannon)
