Entry (Smoker): Moku Moku no Mi (Super Violet) (Unawakened)
): Smoke Human, able to transform body into smoke for attack.
After awakening, can permanently change a region's climate, and by utilizing the changed climate, gains astonishing physical recovery speed (Light Gold).
Luen gazed at the entry light screen before him, his eyes flickering.
Smoker's current strength is entirely focused on the Moku Moku no Mi, so only this one entry is displayed.
As expected, it's a bottom-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit ability. Despite being a Logia type, it's already invincible against those who can't use Haki, but the entry level only reaches Super Violet.
Even after awakening, relying solely on the Devil Fruit's power without other abilities like Haki, it only reaches the Light Gold entry level.
Looking at the Entry System's introduction to the awakened Moku Moku no Mi, Luen's eyes flickered.
Indeed, the awakening of Logia-type Devil Fruits allows for the permanent alteration of a region's climate.
In the original work, Aokiji and Akainu, in their great battle for the position of Fleet Admiral, turned Punk Hazard into an Ice Fire Island.
Half magma, half ice!
And it was a permanent change!
But this alone isn't the true power of an awakened Logia-type Devil Fruit, as permanently changing a region's climate doesn't add much to the user's combat power.
The true power of an awakened Logia-type Devil Fruit lies in being able to empower oneself through the altered climate, gaining astonishing physical strength! And the Devil Fruit's ability also gets enhanced!
What physical strength means in the power system of the Pirate World is self-evident. Whether it's Haki or the activation of Devil Fruit abilities, both require stamina as fuel.
No wonder Aokiji and Akainu were able to fight for ten days and ten nights on Punk Hazard.
It turns out they were fighting by relying on the awakened power of their Logia-type Devil Fruits.
After a Logia-type Devil Fruit is eaten, the user becomes the corresponding element. For example, Smoker, after eating the Moku Moku no Mi, becomes a Smoke Human.
In a smoky environment, because the user is smoke themselves, they naturally have an absolute home-field advantage. They can use this smoke to quickly recover their stamina, thereby gaining astonishing sustained combat ability.
Furthermore, the power of the Devil Fruit ability will also increase, reaching the true peak of that Devil Fruit.
No wonder, according to the setting, Zoan types, especially the rarest Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, are supposed to provide the greatest physical enhancement to the user.
But in the Pirate World, the ultimate blood-churning monster is even a top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruit user like Akainu.
Luen's eyes, as he looked at Smoker, flashed crimson-black.
That was the look of a predator.
He wanted this Moku Moku no Mi!
"King Luen? Captain Smoker, you've got the wrong person, right? They just have the same name, right? Luen is a really good person, huh?"
Hearing Smoker's words, Tashigi reacted subconsciously, but then her left brain hit her right brain, and her mind crashed.
Something didn't seem right.
Captain Smoker called out Luen's name before she could even introduce him.
But Luen was such a good person, how could he possibly be that infamous King Luen?
Shouldn't they just have the same name?
"Are you an idiot?!"
Smoker couldn't hold back and cursed.
He knew Tashigi was a fool woman, but she couldn't be that fool.
"You, are you really that King Luen?"
Tashigi stared blankly at Luen.
Her myopia was severe, and she was focused on sword training, so she wasn't very good at remembering faces from pictures.
"Indeed, it's me."
Luen admitted freely.
Tashigi's mind completely crashed.
"What are you doing, you stupid woman! Hurry up and get over here!
He's a pirate with a bounty of 100 million Beli! And you, Roronoa Zoro!"
Smoker cursed, then looked at Zoro.
100 million Beli!
When that number came out, the Marine Soldiers behind Smoker started breaking out in cold sweat.
A pirate with a bounty of 100 million Beli!
The Marine Soldiers looked at Luen, their weapons trembling in their hands.
"You're that bounty hunter who doesn't cherish his sword and uses it for money?!"
Tashigi didn't know what expression she had at this moment.
Luen was the first person to truly acknowledge her dream.
The other was a swordsman who earned her admiration by getting the Demon Blade Kitetsu to accept him as its master.
As it turned out, it was the notorious 'King' Luen, and the 'Pirate Hunter' who treated his sword as a tool, only knowing how to make money with it.
"King Luen, Roronoa, you two wouldn't be so despicable as to use a woman as a shield, would you!"
Seeing Tashigi's completely bewildered expression, Smoker cursed under his breath, then provoked them.
That idiot woman, Tashigi, was too close to those two. Even with his Moku Moku no Mi, Smoker wasn't absolutely confident he could save her before those two hurt her.
"Woman? I didn't see any woman. I only saw a swordsman."
Luen heard Smoker's words, looked at Tashigi, and his lips curved slightly.
What Tashigi needed was respect and recognition.
Dilly-dallying in the East Blue like this, she wouldn't be able to achieve her dream.
Since that was the case, he would add some fuel to her dream.
"No, that's right! Captain Smoker, I want to fight too!"
Hearing Luen's words, Tashigi snapped out of her dazed state.
"Clang!"
Shigure was drawn fiercely.
"Luen! Roronoa! I'm going to arrest you!"
Tashigi bit her lip and shouted.
Luen's words truly made her happy.
Only Tashigi herself knew how unwilling she was to be a woman.
Women cannot become powerful swordsmen, women cannot possess great power, cannot achieve your dreams...
Tashigi had heard such words countless times since childhood.
But Luen acknowledged her dream and treated her as a swordsman, as an equal.
This equality was what Tashigi longed for most.
Tashigi was truly happy.
However, precisely because of this, she had to arrest Luen! To rescue Luen from evil.
"Hmph!"
Tashigi's Shigure carved a beautiful arc as it slashed towards Luen.
"Swish!"
Tashigi's vision blurred, and Luen's figure suddenly appeared behind her.
"Bang!"
A hand chop made Tashigi's body go limp, and she fell to the ground.
"Soru?!"
Seeing Luen's movements, Smoker's eyes narrowed slightly in disbelief.
That move, wasn't it Soru from the Marine Six Powers?!
As a former Marine Headquarters Admiral, one of the 'Black Arm Style' practitioners, Smoker was extremely familiar with the Six Powers.
"That's right, it's Soru from the Six Powers."
Luen said with a faint smile.
Although the technique similar to Soru that he had plundered from Kuro had already been converted, the feeling of using that footwork had long been memorized by Luen.
And the principle of Soru is to instantaneously step on the ground dozens of times at high speed, generating explosive repulsive force for high-speed movement.
After his Superman*Beast Physique reached the Super Violet level, Luen's physique was strong enough to execute such a move.
Through these days of training, Luen had completely mastered Soru from the Six Powers.
"Whoosh!"
Smoker's eyes turned cold, and accompanied by the roar of smoke, his arms transformed into smoke.
"Idiot!"
Smoker roared.
His arms, transformed into smoke, became spiral-shaped columns of smoke, capturing Luen and Zoro.
"Is this what a Logia-type Devil Fruit feels like?"
Luen looked with interest at the smoke that had trapped him.
It was indeed very mysterious; his body had become an element.
"Is this a Logia-type Devil Fruit? It's even more troublesome than that Buggy's Chop-Chop Fruit."
Zoro looked with a solemn expression at the smoke that had trapped him.
Buggy's Chop-Chop Fruit only made him immune to sword attacks; punches and kicks could still affect him.
But with Logia, ordinary physical attacks were completely ineffective.
As Luen said, without Haki, they were powerless against a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
"Since you know I'm a Logia user, you should also know that you're no match for me!
Luen! Roronoa! Your criminal careers are over!"
Smoker's face was grim.
"And you even betrayed a woman's trust."
Smoker looked at Tashigi, who was slumped on the ground, trying to struggle to her feet but unable to, his face looking displeased.
"Woman, woman, it's so annoying."
Luen's smile disappeared, and he looked at Smoker with cold eyes.
"I said, what I saw was no woman, only a swordsman!
On this vast ocean, to make such a comment about a swordsman who has raised her weapon and bravely pursues her dream, is truly disrespectful, Smoker.
Do you truly understand the heart of this swordsman? You are denying her dream."
Luen's eyes flashed wildly with crimson-black.
Tashigi, who was trying to struggle up, froze, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Why is someone who understands her so well a pirate?
"Also, you don't think your Logia is invincible, do you? You, who only relies on your Devil Fruit, are weak."
Luen's words made Smoker's pupils constrict sharply.
The next moment.
"Buzz!"
The crimson-black in Luen's eyes materialized, roaring out from around his body.
"Zzt! Zzt! Zzt!"
Conqueror's Haki, at this moment, seemed to have materialized, with crimson-black lightning wildly roaring in the atmosphere.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Marine Soldiers holding weapons instantly rolled their eyes and fainted.
Conqueror's Haki!
The weak, in the presence of a king, don't even have the right to look directly!
"Damn it! Conqueror's Haki!"
Smoker looked at the crimson-black lightning roaring in the atmosphere, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
The white vines that had captured Luen and Zoro suddenly loosened.
Luen's Conqueror's Haki, enhanced by 'Born for the Sea', was already capable of causing some substantial damage to reality.
This damage, of course, also included damage to Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
Of course, Luen, who had not yet evolved his Conqueror's Haki to the Deep Gold tier and had only initially mastered Conqueror's Haki infusion attacks, could not inflict fatal damage on Smoker with Conqueror's Haki.
However, he could cause a momentary paralysis.
And that momentary paralysis was exactly what Luen wanted.
"Soru! Swish!"
Smoker's pupils constricted sharply.
The next moment, a pitch-black fist was already close at hand.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a teeth-gritting collision sound, Smoker was sent flying like a cannonball, heavily smashing into the ground in the distance.
"Crack! Crack!"
The immense force caused cracks to appear in the ground. "Haki?!?"
Smoker Slowly crawling out of the crack in the ground, he shook his dizzy head and looked at Luen with a grim expression.
Armament Haki!
And, so strong!
One blow, and he was seriously injured.
His head was directly hit by such powerful Haki, making it impossible for him to move freely in a short time.
"It's been a long time since you've been hit, hasn't it, Smoker? Has anyone ever told you not to rely too much on your Devil Fruit?"
Luen looked at Smoker, a powerful arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
This guy was Zephyr's disciple, yet he didn't know Haki.
Perhaps, this guy wanted to learn the fighting style of Kizaru, an Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
But the Devil Fruit Kizaru ate was the Glint-Glint Fruit, one of the top Logia-type Devil Fruits.
Smoker only ate the bottom-tier Smoke-Smoke Fruit among Logia-types. It was not on the same level as the Glint-Glint Fruit at all. Wanting to learn Kizaru's fighting style was simply wishful thinking.
One must know that over-relying on a Devil Fruit could be fatal to one's Haki improvement.
Haki requires absolute self-confidence! Only by completely mastering one's own temperament can Haki be used!
Even someone of Kizaru's strength had weak Haki due to over-relying on his Devil Fruit ability.
It was not surprising that Smoker, who was still active in the East Blue and overly reliant on the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, had not learned Haki.
"Captain Smoker?!"
At this moment, Tashigi had somewhat recovered from Luen's hand chop. Although she still couldn't stand, she could manage to sit up by supporting herself with Koyuki.
Looking at Smoker, who had been beaten so badly by Luen's punch, Tashigi was filled with disbelief.
This was the first time she had seen Captain Smoker get hit.
Captain Smoker was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user; how could a human hit smoke?!
Haki? What kind of power was that?
"..."
Hearing Luen's words, Smoker's face was extremely grim.
It was as if he had returned to the time when Zephyr, that old man, used to lecture him.
Yes, he was very reliant on this Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
But before, Smoker didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In the East Blue, Logia-type Devil Fruits were invincible!
Even at Marine Headquarters! Logia-type Devil Fruits were extremely rare.
The current Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters were all Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
They were even called the strongest generation of Three Admirals in Marine history!
What was wrong with him dedicating himself entirely to cultivating this Logia-type Devil Fruit?!
Smoker gritted his teeth, preparing to counterattack.
"Hmm?!"
Smoker reached back, wanting to grab the weapon behind him, the Jitte with a Seastone tip, but he grabbed nothing.
He violently shook his head, which was somewhat dazed from being directly hit by Haki. Then, he saw his weapon, the Jitte, in Luen's hand.
"A Seastone weapon. You clearly know that relying solely on a Devil Fruit has a huge weakness, yet you made such a weapon and still rely so heavily on your Devil Fruit.
You are truly foolish."
Luen threw the Seastone Jitte in his hand to Roronoa Zoro.
"You can hit him with this, right?"
Zoro took the Jitte, a beast-like smile curving his lips.
"No need. I was planning to ensure foolproof success, but I didn't expect him to be just a weakling who only relies on his Devil Fruit."
Luen had called Zoro for this very purpose: to snatch Smoker's Seastone Jitte at the start of the battle and let Zoro use it.
This way, Zoro's attacks could hit Smoker.
Calling Zoro along was also an extra layer of insurance for this Smoke-Smoke Fruit hunt.
Unexpectedly, upon engaging in battle, he discovered that Smoker, still in Loguetown, was simply a guy who completely relied on his Devil Fruit.
If it were another relatively powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user, even with Haki, Luen would instantly suppress them.
After all, the attack power of powerful Logia-type Devil Fruits was also very terrifying. If one's Haki wasn't strong, they could still be defeated by powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
But the Smoke-Smoke Fruit had almost no attack power and could only be used as an auxiliary attack method.
One could say that the current Smoker had no chance of winning against a Haki master.
"Don't be so arrogant!"
Smoker was furious and activated his Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability.
But first, he was paralyzed by Conqueror's Haki, and then his head was directly hit by Armament Haki.
At this moment, Smoker couldn't quickly control his body to complete Elementalization; there would be a significant delay.
And with this gap given to Luen, the result was:
"Shhh! Swish!"
"Bang!"
Luen's Haki-infused fist hit Smoker again. This full-power punch directly struck Smoker's chin, causing Smoker's eyes to roll back as he slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Plunder."
