Chapter 233: Dragon Bloodline Potion

"Did I actually pull it off?"
Five minutes later, Bulma suddenly opened her eyes, looking around in amazement.
Using her faint spiritual sense, she could actually perceive everything within a meter of her — a full 360 degrees without a single blind spot.
She could even feel the dust particles floating in the air.
"This is insane...!"
Bulma was absolutely thrilled.
"Ugh… My head's spinning!"
A dizziness hit her like a wave, and her body started to give out.
Dragorr quickly caught her in his arms, placed a hand on her forehead, and began channeling recovery energy while saying, "You've just barely started tapping into your mental power. It's still really weak. You can't go around using psychic abilities like that for too long!"
"Oh, that makes sense!"
Realization dawned on Bulma, and she immediately suppressed her spiritual energy, not daring to use it so casually again.
Under Dragorr's healing, she quickly recovered, though she still looked a little sulky.
"But I barely used it for a minute! That's way too short!"
Bonk!
Dragorr flicked her on the forehead and said, "What were you expecting? You literally just got started. Your mental strength is barely above average—of course you can't last long!"
"Don't worry, though! You're about to hit a growth spurt in power."
He'd already noticed that Bulma's talent in spiritual energy was actually pretty impressive. Honestly, it's no wonder she's always been so smart.
If she kept this up, her future in psychic abilities could be very promising.
"Well, that's a relief!"
Bulma beamed, then immediately asked, "So when can I do that telepathy thing you do? And teleport too?"
That was the cool part she was really looking forward to.
"Hmm… At your current pace, you'll probably manage telepathy in about two or three months. But teleportation? That might take a year or two."
Dragorr was actually lowballing the estimate to keep her from getting discouraged.
"What?! That long?!"
Bulma's face immediately dropped.
"Relax. I'll give you some stuff to boost your mental energy and improve your meditation results. That should help speed things up quite a bit."
Dragorr smiled reassuringly.
"Okay, cool! Then let's go work on that body technique next! That sounds way more fun, hehe!"
Laughing, Bulma grabbed Dragorr's hand and tugged him toward the bedroom door.
Well, she will try its results first, then who knows...

Inside the Mental Space—
"You want the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Alright, sounds good! I'll get to work on creating it once I'm back. That was more or less the plan anyway."
At their scheduled meeting time that noon, Pirate Renzo met with "Outcast Renzo." When the latter made his request, Pirate Renzo agreed without hesitation.
He had enough spiritual energy saved up for it, thanks to the energy storage device developed by the genius Aizen.
"Hehe, thanks a ton!"
Outcast grinned from ear to ear.
"No need to be so polite."
Pirate Renzo waved it off. "Your group joining us is a big deal too. Honestly, just your special Physique, your lightning skills, and that Golden Light thing are already a huge help to me. They'll really boost my lightning abilities. Who knows, the Golden Light might even synergize or fuse with Armament Haki someday."
"It's all mutually beneficial in the end."
"Oh yeah—about the Devil Fruits. If you've already eaten one… can you really eat a second?"
Outcast Renzo asked curiously.
With so many incredible Devil Fruits out there, it'd be such a waste if you could only eat one.
"Right now, we still don't know for sure. I do plan to remove that limitation when I create one myself. But even the best chef can't cook without ingredients—I don't even know what causes the body to reject a second fruit in the first place."
"That's why, before I eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I'm planning a trip to the New World. I want to track down Blackbeard—Marshall D. Teach—and study his body structure to figure out how he's able to eat two Devil Fruits."
"If I can do that, I might be able to crack the secret."
From what Pirate Renzo had analyzed about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Zoan-type Rhino Fruit, he suspected the issue might be a clash of fundamental laws or forces.
But that was just a theory for now.
"Gotcha. In that case, it's totally fine to wait a few more days. Better to be safe and figure it all out first."
Outcast nodded in agreement.
Just then, Uchiha Renzo spoke up, turning to Outcast Renzo.
"I'm really interested in the (Sōzenshu) Twin Complete Hands technique. I hope you can get it soon. That ability would be a huge help in my bloodline research."
That technique could even rewrite memories and reconstruct the body—it was seriously overpowered.
So everyone—Apocalypse Renzo, Gundam Renzo, even Hermione, and Aizen—perked up at the mention of it.
"Yeah, the Twin Complete Hands is the real deal," Apocalypse chimed in.
"Gotta agree," Gundam added.
These guys were all heavy-hitting researchers who loved diving deep into weird powers.
Outcast nodded. "Got it. Just give me a little time."
"That's all I needed to hear," Uchiha Renzo said with a nod. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Also, I suggest getting the quantum computer, Red Queen AI, and the satellite network online ASAP. That'll make your life way easier."
In a modern world, tech's potential is no joke.
Outcast nodded again. "Already working on it. I even ran it by my master."
That's the nice thing about the Old man—he knew when not to ask questions.
Pirate Renzo said with a grin, "It seems we will get a huge boost soon. Hehe, I feel unbeatable already in One Piece World~"
"You should plan what to do after destroying the World Government," Uchiha Renzo nodded.
Pirate Renzo smiled, "I'm thinking about it. Anyway, I wanted to ask you for a way to improve our life energy."
"Hmm...." Uchiha Renzo paused then said, "Come to think of it, my world's got stuff loaded with life energy—like the Gelel Stone. I completely forgot about that. With the Third Great Ninja War basically wrapped up, I should finally go retrieve it."
Not to mention the Tenseigan on the moon, the Source of the Ryūmyaku (Ley Line), and that mysterious star from Hoshigakure (Star Village). He had plans for all of them.
Oh, and that star? He suspected it might be a fragment of the Ten-Tails. If so, studying it could reveal even more about the true nature of chakra.
"All that can wait," Hermione cut in, waving her hand. Her eyes turned to the massive snake beside her. "The dragon bloodline serum is done. Fairy Tail sent me the DNA of an ice-element dragon, so I've been working with that. I tried mixing in some fire dragon traits from our world—it sorta worked. The result is… let's call it enhanced ice-dragon blood."
"How far you go with it will depend on you," she added. "I left room for future upgrades, too. If Fairy Tail gets his hands on other elemental dragon bloodlines, I can help you merge those later on."
"So, what do you think? Want to take the serum now? Or wait?"
Honestly, she'd finished the tech side ages ago. She'd just been waiting for that drop of dragon blood. Once it arrived yesterday, she whipped up the serum in no time.
Also, secretly, she'd already tested it on a Hungarian Horntail she was raising in her private realm, Takamagahara.
The results were amazing.
That fire dragon had completely evolved—now it could breathe both fire and ice. A true dual-element dragon.
Not one of those fake ones from the Harry Potter world either. A genuine, top-tier dragon.
Of course, it'd still take time to reach its full potential, but the growth rate had skyrocketed.
"I'm taking it now. I'm so done staying in this snake form—it's been a pain," Python grumbled.
"If this works and I evolve into a true dragon, you should be able to use Animagus magic to transform into one too, right? If that happens, I hope you'll help me research how to take on a humanoid dragon form."
It was an easy decision.
The snake form was just too inconvenient.
Sure, it could study dragon physiology on its own, but let's be honest—Hermione was way more familiar with magical biology.
"No problem," Hermione nodded. "I'll share all the data with you. Just go copy it into your system."
No big deal.
