Chapter 18 Let Me Tell You A Secret, I Am Immortal
Carl didn't choose to kill Blackbeard.
He was even somewhat grateful to Blackbeard.
Although he used the name of Rocks Pirate to do many things that a real pirate would do, ruining the reputation of Rocks Pirate.
But at any rate, he is one of the very few people in this ocean who remembers Rocks Pirate.
Moreover, they are the only pirate group to declare that they will inherit the will of Rocks Pirate.
Of course, these are minor. The most important thing is that his sworn brother Rocks chose Blackbeard.
On this sea.
A strong person whose strength exceeds the emperor level will leave his mark on Devil Fruit.
Like the sun god Nika eight hundred years ago, he left his own will in Rubber Fruit.
Rocks D. Xebec too.
He is the owner of the strongest Logia Devil Fruit, Dark Fruit.
When he died, he left behind his will in Dark Fruit.
And now for this fruit, I chose Blackbeard Teach.
Carl respects Rocks' choice.
But that doesn't mean he approves of Blackbeard's inheritance of Rocks Pirate.
Rocks Pirate needs to be reorganized under Carl's will, dominate the entire sea, and become the king of the world!
...
The Blackbeard Pirates left safely.
Under the leadership of Teach, they continued into the dark Impel Down Prison to look for their partners.
Luffy and others were also preparing to leave.
They walked out of the darkness, out of the shadows, and into the sunshine.
suddenly.
Everyone found out.
Carl didn't follow.
He remained in the shadows, just one step away from the sun.
This made everyone very curious.
"Hey, Grandpa Carl, why don't you step into the sunshine?"
"Could it be because I haven't been in the sun for thirty-six years and I have a mental illness like being afraid of the sun?"
"Impossible! It's impossible for a man using such a powerful Conqueror's Haki to suffer from mental illness. The most likely reason is that his Devil Fruit is afraid of the sun!"
"And Devil Fruit who's afraid of the sun?"
"Yes! It is said that there is a fruit in the vampire form of Zoan, which is afraid of sunlight."
"Ah, there really is!"
Everyone was talking and making random guesses.
But little did they know that Carl was not only not afraid of the sun, but actually loved to bask in it.
and.
His cells, which have been hungry for thirty-six years, are crying out with great expectation.
One step forward!
One step forward!
We need sunshine!
We need strength!
The more you desire, the more you fear losing.
Carl was afraid that after being exposed to the sun, he would never be able to get rid of it again.
So, he is suppressing his inner desires.
A few minutes later.
All the cells in the body are controlled by him.
Feeling calm as water, Carl officially took the first step.
Then, step two.
Finally, his entire body stood under the sun.
The warm sunshine was still the familiar smell from thirty-six years ago, making him feel extremely fulfilled.
Under his control, the cells all over his body were on full fire, absorbing the surrounding sunlight wantonly.
Something happened that shocked Luffy and others.
The sky near them darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All eyes swarmed towards Carl.
Surrounded by countless sunlight, the surface of Carl's body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, exuding a dazzling luster.
"Look, Grandpa Carl, is he absorbing sunlight?"
"Is this the ability of his Devil Fruit, to absorb the sun?"
"What kind of Devil Fruit is this? Is it the legendary Sun God Nika Fruit?"
"Ah, Nika fruit, what is that?" Luffy asked curiously.
"It is the legendary fruit of God that can overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons and liberate the world!"
"Damn it! It turns out that Grandpa Carl's Devil Fruit is so powerful. No wonder he said he wanted to revive the glory of Rocks Pirate, declare war on the World government, and become the King of the World."
Because of the Superman template's ability to absorb sunlight, several people started making random guesses.
suddenly.
They all stopped talking.
Eyes widened, he looked at Carl in disbelief.
His rickety body was gradually straightened.
The thin body also filled up quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The withered long hair fell off and was replaced by new long, jet-black hair that grew rapidly.
The withered, old face gradually transformed into a handsome and heroic young appearance.
Less than ten seconds.
A haggard, dying old man turned into a young man about thirty years old, quite tall, with majestic and handsome appearance.
"What... happened?!"
"Grandpa Carl, how did you become brother Carl?!"
"Hey, little Ivan, Grandpa Carl, is he really seventy or eighty years old?"
"I'm sure! Because when I saw him in the Valley of the Gods, he was exactly what he is now. Thirty-six years have passed, so he must be at least sixty or seventy years old. It's not impossible to even be more!"
"Then why is he still the same as before!"
Luffy and others were puzzled.
Circle around Carl, trying to find the reason.
At this time, Carl opened his eyes.
The golden luster in his eyes shines brighter and brighter.
He looked at the surprised people and said with a smile: "I want to say that I am immortal. Do you believe it or not?"
Because of the power of the sun, Carl regained his youth.
People have become younger, and their mentality is also much younger. They don’t like to call themselves old husband or old man anymore.
"Luanluanluo~ I don't believe you are immortal~"
"There is no immortal existence in this world."
Luffy was not afraid of Carl because of his strength or appearance changes, and continued to joke around.
"There are still some. It is said that after Op-Op Fruit awakens, it can perform immortality surgery on others. The price is the life of the Op-Op Fruit ability user." Jinbei said.
"That's right! It is said that the Five Elders of the World Government have undergone immortality surgery and become immortals." Ivankov remembered the information told by his friend Big Bear.
"Ah! No wonder the Celestial Dragons are so hateful and can rule the world. It turns out that such a guy exists! Carl, you are the sun god Nika, but you must overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons!" Luffy looked like you must do it. .
ah?
If I absorb sunlight, how can I become the sun god Nika?
Carl was speechless.
It feels a bit strange to see Luffy, who is supposed to be the Sun God, calling himself the Sun God.
But he doesn't need this title.
Even Nika, the God of Devil Fruit and Sun God, has less potential than his Superman template.
Now that he is out, he can still control the cells in his body.
Just absorb the sunlight with all your strength, and soon you will be invincible.
"Luffy."
"Let me tell you another secret."
Carl suddenly became playful.
He wanted to see what would happen if he told Luffy in advance that he was Nika, the sun god.
"Ah, what secret?"
"Actually, you are the sun god Nika."
