Chapter 56: Post-Evolution Effects
Hearing that, Yumesaki gave Tsunade a broad grin.
"There certainly is. The change this time is massive. I finally understand the source of my power."
"Thank you, all of you. Without the Door-Door Fruit, I'd still be wandering in the dark. Now, everything is clear."
Tsunade asked, "Oh? Then explain it to us."
She was also extremely curious about how Yumesaki's ability worked—how he could move from one world to another, something that defied all logic.
Yumesaki explained, "It's an ancient golden gate. It once collapsed and somehow fused with me. After I ate the Door-Door Fruit, this ancient gate was partially restored—just a tiny bit."
Yumesaki used his fingernails to gesture, showing that the restoration was only a small fraction.
"And then?" Robin asked curiously. "What is the use of this gate?"
"It's incredibly useful," Yumesaki said.
"You already know that this gate allows people to move between worlds and even lets us communicate without barriers. Even though I'm technically speaking Mandarin, you all understand me perfectly."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yumesaki continued, "But this time, the ability evolved. When I enter a new world, I will automatically master the language of that world."
"And when I invite someone from a new world into my own, they will also automatically master my language."
"Furthermore, Tobirama's previous hypothesis was correct."
"When I enter a new world, my body will automatically adapt to that world's power system. I can learn any power from that world, whether it's Haki from the world of One Piece, Chakra from the world of Naruto, or magic from a world of sorcery."
"And now, I can also grant this incredible adaptation ability to all of you."
As he spoke, Yumesaki patted Hashirama Senju's shoulder.
"Try it. See if you can awaken Conqueror's Haki."
Hashirama nodded, his gaze sharpening as he attempted to activate the hidden potential of Conqueror's Haki.
Boom!
Violent streaks of black-and-red lightning exploded outward.
He had been subjected to Yumesaki's Conqueror's Haki several times before, so he was familiar with the sensation. Now that he had been granted the "qualification" to learn the powers of this world, activating it wasn't difficult for him.
A figure known as the God of Shinobi naturally possessed the qualities of a king.
The terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted, sweeping out like a massive tidal wave, blanketing the area for several thousand meters.
Countless fish began foaming at the mouth under the sheer pressure of the Haki and floated to the surface.
Nami and Karin's eyes rolled back into their heads, and they slumped to the ground with a dull thud, unconscious from the shock.
The remaining people, aside from Yumesaki, all felt a crushing sensation. Their bodies felt heavy, and their breathing became labored. Fortunately, most of them had already undergone the "baptism" of Yumesaki's Haki before.
They had developed a certain level of resistance.
Because of that, they managed to stay conscious under the shroud of Hashirama's Conqueror's Haki.
As for why Kanae, who was experiencing this for the first time, didn't faint—it was because her willpower was exceptionally strong.
Back when she was struggling to survive in Kusagakure, she had her blood and vitality drained by the ninjas there countless times.
She was intimately acquainted with pain; she had endured it so often that her willpower had been forged into tempered steel.
Forget Hashirama's Haki; even Yumesaki's Conqueror's Haki might not necessarily knock this mother out.
A woman might be perceived as fragile, but a mother is truly strong.
"Alright, stop showing off! Pull it back already!"
Tsunade shouted. Even if Hashirama's Haki wasn't as potent as Yumesaki's, being suppressed by that power was hardly a comfortable experience.
Hearing Tsunade's shout, Hashirama let out a sheepish laugh and immediately withdrew the pressure.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, each of them looking at Yumesaki with expectant eyes.
This Conqueror's Haki was incredibly useful. It might not be enough to defeat an experienced Jonin, but it was devastatingly effective against fledgling Genin or Chunin who were just there to make up the numbers.
Even if they couldn't all learn Conqueror's Haki, everyone craved the physical constitution of humans from the One Piece world.
After all, the humans in this world were logically absurd.
Just look at Nico Robin. In the short time since she began learning chakra extraction, her reserves had already surpassed a Konoha Chunin and reached the level of a Jonin. Her progress was staggering.
Who wouldn't want that?
Yumesaki wasn't stingy. One by one, he granted the people present the qualification to adapt to the abilities of the One Piece world.
Tsunade moved her arms and legs, but she didn't feel any immediate, massive change in her body.
Yumesaki smiled and said, "The change won't be instant, but it will become more apparent over time. Your training will yield better results, your appetite will grow, and your physique will gradually transcend that of a normal human."
He was the best example.
When he first entered the world of One Piece, Yumesaki was just an ordinary person—not strong enough to carry heavy loads, unable to even finish a standard portion of seafood fried rice.
But now? Yumesaki could lift a weight of 100 to 150 kilograms with a single hand. He could finish a 100-meter sprint in under eight seconds and could easily put away two full portions of fried rice in one sitting.
In the worlds of pirates and ninjas, this level of strength was still considered very weak.
But on Earth, Yumesaki was a literal superhuman.
If he entered an athletic competition, he would shatter world records with zero effort. In a weightlifting competition, he'd win in the first round and leave everyone else in the dust. If he stepped into a boxing ring, even Mike Tyson would have to kneel.
Consider the value of lifting 150 kilograms with one hand.
It meant that when Yumesaki threw a punch, his striking force would far exceed Tyson's in his prime. Snapping the bones of a fragile Earthling would be as easy as breaking a toothpick.
Who could possibly stand against that?
And that was just pure physical strength. If Yumesaki further reinforced his body with chakra, he wouldn't even dare to compete.
He'd be afraid of ending up in prison.
Using the power of her Hana Hana no Mi, Robin sprouted a row of arms to lift the unconscious Nami and Karin, intending to take them back to their rooms.
"Let me do it."
Yumesaki spoke up as he casually opened an "Air Door." Behind the door was Nami's bedroom. He placed the two of them on the bed and let Kanae look after them.
Robin noted, "So this is the power of the Door-Door Fruit?"
Yumesaki hummed in affirmation.
Tsunade asked curiously, "Didn't you say the power of the Door-Door Fruit was absorbed by the golden gate?"
"It was," Yumesaki said. "But that doesn't mean I can't use the power. In fact, any power the golden gate absorbs, I can use."
"It was the same with the Reaper earlier, and it's the same with the Door-Door Fruit."
"Moreover, because it's the golden gate that absorbed the power, I can not only eat a second Devil Fruit, but I am also completely unaffected by Sea Prism Stone or seawater."
