"Oh!?"
"I didn't expect Whitebeard and the others to be so considerate!?"
Zoro came over curiously, took a picture book from Sanji with interest, and read the contents of the devil fruit picture book for everyone:
"Metahuman System·Storage Fruit."
"Effect: Turn the inside of the ability user's body into a huge storage center, and can shrink any object or creature and hide it in the body. It can also freely divide the body into different storage areas to store different items or creatures in different environments."
"It doesn't sound like a powerful fruit ability~"
Zoro, who was not very satisfied with this fruit ability, turned around and compared the picture book in his hand with the devil fruit in the shape of a small house, and gave a not very positive evaluation.
However, at this moment, Usopp, who was not very interested in devil fruits, suddenly snatched the picture book from his hand.
"Wait a minute! Let me see!"
After getting the picture book, Usopp immediately read the contents of the picture book carefully.
As a devil fruit encyclopedia that only top forces are qualified to possess, it certainly won't only record such brief content.
On the back of this piece of paper, it records in detail the abilities of the fruit abilities that have appeared in history.
And this storage fruit is particularly detailed, because it just records a detailed research report of a former fruit ability owner.
"Storage fruit... could it be...?"
At this time, Red also realized something, and suddenly made a gesture to his companions, indicating that everyone should give Usopp some time.
Immediately, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waited quietly.
About two minutes later, Usopp suddenly pushed the encyclopedia in his hand away excitedly, and then excitedly swept his eyes around the straw hats.
"Everyone, this devil fruit, can I eat it!?"
"What!? Usopp, are you going to eat the devil fruit too?!"
As if he heard something interesting, Luffy jumped over instantly, looking like he was watching the fun.
Usopp nodded vigorously: "Yes! I think the ability of this devil fruit is very suitable for me!"
"So, do you have anyone else who wants this ability?!"
"Are you kidding!?"
Noticing Usopp's inquiring eyes, Nami and others who had not yet eaten the devil fruit immediately showed disgusted expressions.
Nami shook her head directly and said: "I don't want to turn my body into a warehouse, that's really disgusting."
Zoro also immediately echoed:
"I am also not interested in fruit abilities that are not helpful in combat."
"And... are you really not going to consider it again?"
Obviously, Zoro was not very optimistic about this storage fruit.
Even though he also guessed Usopp's idea of taking a fancy to it.
Sanji, who was holding a cigarette, did not express any opinions, but from his frowning and stepping back half a step, he was also not interested in this devil fruit.
In the end, Usopp held up the storage fruit and turned his gaze to Red, but what attracted Red's mocking laughter was Red's mocking laughter.
"Why are you looking at me!?"
"Do you think I'm short of a devil fruit!?"
Red swung his hand, and a dazzling arc flashed in the air.
But then he persuaded Usopp:
"But Usopp, have you really decided to eat this devil fruit!?"
"You should be attracted by its ability to store ammunition and insects, right?"
"Although this is indeed in line with your current fighting style, people will change, and our exploration of the Pokémon world has just begun..."
"No one knows what will happen in the future."
"What's more, whether it is ammunition or insects, they are external objects after all."
"In fact, there are many fruit abilities in this world that are suitable for you, such as the Momo fruit that can enlarge and accelerate any object."
"Even if you want to store things in your body, there is also a more powerful fortified fruit."
Although Red did not see the details on the back of the storage fruit, he could vaguely see from those few words...
This storage fruit is very likely to be the lower-level fruit of Capone's fortified fruit!
One is to turn the body into an indestructible battle castle with various functions, and the other is to turn the body into a large warehouse.
It is clear who is stronger and who is weaker.
As for the other fruit abilities, Red also knows who their ability users are. At that time, whether it is to use Vegapunk's fruit ability replication technology or to kill them to turn their abilities back into fruits...
For the current Straw Hat Pirates, it is not a difficult task.
However, facing Red's repeated advice, Usopp shook his head gently, and then showed a bright look in his eyes.
"Thank you, Red."
"But I have learned about the storage fruit ability in detail, and I am very sure that it is the most suitable ability for me!"
"Is that so?"
Red nodded, and did not persuade him again.
He chose to believe in Usopp's choice.
"Then..."
"Since you have made up your mind, then go forward bravely!"
Red smiled encouragingly and patted Usopp's shoulder with one hand.
"Hmm!"
Usopp nodded vigorously after taking the devil fruit. Looking at the strange devil pattern on it, he choked even though he had made up his mind.
However, thinking of the power described in the illustrated book, he suddenly made up his mind and bit the devil fruit.
In an instant, his face became extremely ugly, and he expressed the most real feelings of every fruit ability user:
"This is too unpalatable!!!"
Usopp bit off a piece of fruit flesh with a hideous face. After chewing it roughly in his mouth for a few times, he swallowed it whole.
And Usopp's evaluation of the devil fruit immediately won the sympathetic eyes of several other ability users in the Straw Hat Pirates.
In order to avoid the possibility of power remaining in the remaining flesh, even though Usopp knew that the devil fruit only needed to be eaten in one bite, he still resisted the feeling of nausea and swallowed the whole devil fruit.
The next moment, in the sight of everyone, Usopp's body suddenly expanded.
The yellow checkered scarf on his head was spread out directly, turning into a flat top shape, and his body also became square.
In the blink of an eye, Usopp turned into a strange square shape, like a large warehouse with hands and feet, and appeared in front of everyone.
His eyes turned into transparent windows, and his mouth turned into a door to enter the warehouse.
And his iconic long nose was even more eye-catching, as if it had become a flagpole without a flag raised in the house.
"U... Usopp!? Are you okay!?"
Seeing this scene, Chopper immediately screamed in astonishment.
But at this time, Usopp, who had turned into a power form, stretched out two strange wooden hands from both sides of the warehouse and laughed dully:
"Hehehe~ I feel more comfortable than ever before!"
"That's right~!"
Usopp suddenly squatted down, slowly opened his mouth, and said vaguely to everyone:
"Do you want to go inside my body to take a look!?"
"Forget it!!!"
Hearing this, everyone instantly waved their hands and shook their heads in tacit understanding, and stepped back.
"What a disappointment~"
Usopp shouted helplessly, and then his body began to shrink and turned back to a normal human form again.
"So..." Robin asked curiously on behalf of everyone: "Usopp, do you have any special reason for choosing this fruit?"
From the bloated body of Usopp just after his transformation, this is obviously not a devil fruit suitable for fighting.
Everyone instantly widened their eyes and looked at Usopp curiously.
Feeling the attention of everyone and gaining a new ability, Usopp immediately became excited.
However, he did not explain to everyone, but smiled at Red:
"I can't show my power here, Red, take us to Lab's abdominal world!"
"Okay~"
Red, who was also very interested in the ability of the fruit chosen by Usopp, waved his hand and summoned a huge dimensional hole in front of the Merry.
In an instant, the Merry, which was moving forward, disappeared directly into the sea, as if it had never appeared.
...
...
Half an hour later...
In Lab's abdominal world.
The Straw Hat Pirates widened their eyes, looking at the dense and different sized insects in the sky constantly flying towards the deck of the Merry, but all disappeared!
"This... This fruit ability is a bit too scary, isn't it!?"
Shocked, Zoro smacked his lips, and his eyes no longer had the contempt for the storage fruit before, but were filled with shock.
And the reason is that this scene in front of them has lasted for more than 20 minutes!
At this moment, there was a flash of light in Red's eyes. Looking at the illustrated book of the Warehouse Fruit in his hand, he nodded in agreement:
"No wonder Usopp chose this fruit ability."
"Although I guessed that the name of the warehouse might be related to the space system..."
"But this terrifying storage ability, even if it is not infinite space, its spatial range is terrifyingly large!"
Because there are also swamp fruits and dark dark fruits with infinite space in the pirate world, the effect of Usopp's warehouse fruit did not shock Red too much.
It's just...
"Now, it's really hard to say who is better between it and the Castle Fruit!"
Time passed slowly.
After about half an hour, the noisy abdominal world finally became quiet.
As the last insect queen, whose size was comparable to that of the Merry, was swallowed by Usopp, there was no sign of insect survival in the entire abdominal world.
"It's really... too scary!"
The people standing on the deck of the Merry were once again amazed at the ability shown by Usopp.
After doing all this, Usopp turned back to his normal form and explained to everyone proudly:
"The storage fruit can turn my body into a huge warehouse with almost infinite space!"
"The objects or creatures stored in my body will be kept in my body in the best storage form."
"At the same time, I can also divide the storage space in my body into different areas, and freely set the environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and air pressure in each area."
"In this way, my body will become the most perfect breeding ground for bugs and plants!"
"With the power of this fruit, I can cultivate powerful insects and plants more specifically."
"And when I need to fight..."
Before he could finish his words, Usopp, with flashing eyes, suddenly waved his hand in front of the Merry.
In an instant!
The pores on his arms suddenly turned into the shape of hatches, which were opened instantly!
Countless densely packed black spots poured out from Usopp's arms. After leaving his body for ten centimeters, these strange black spots suddenly expanded and turned into an army of Zerg in the blink of an eye!
There was an ear-splitting roar, which stayed high in the sky in front of the Meili. The scene was extremely majestic and terrifying!
Seeing this scene, the corners of Usopp's mouth instantly raised proudly, as if he was talking to himself or to his friends:
"That's why I said...this will be the most suitable fruit ability for me!"
At this moment, Usopp, who had always been timid and had low self-esteem, seemed to have gained endless courage and courage, and his whole aura was slowly changing and sublimating!
"Usopp, you've become stronger."
Looking at Usopp's back, this thought flashed through the hearts of everyone in the Straw Hats.
The corner of Hong Hong's mouth raised slightly, and he picked up the illustrated book of stored fruits in his hand, but suddenly summoned a bolt of lightning to ignite it.
The content in this illustration has lost its meaning of existence.
Starting today, this devil fruit called the Warehouse Fruit will be re-recognized by the whole world because of Usopp's existence!
Maybe one day in the future, someone will even rename this devil fruit to give it a more resounding name...
Even more worthy of the title "Legend"! ! !
…
…
Of course, a Devil Fruit with such a powerful ability does not have no limitations.
The reason why this devil fruit is unknown in the world is because it has three limitations:
One is what the Straw Hats saw before...
The storage capacity of the warehouse fruit does not require instant movement, but requires that the object's ability to receive the fruit becomes smaller after it approaches Usopp, and enters Usopp's body along the "warehouse door".
And this will make it take a certain amount of time for the objects to enter the warehouse.
Although this is not eye-catching, it allows the object to completely enter Usopp's body, with a slight risk of being intercepted.
The second limitation is that the creatures that the warehouse can accommodate must be in two states: "active" or "unable to struggle."
In other words, even if someone touches Usopp's body during the battle, they will not be affected by his fruit ability and enter his warehouse space.
The last limitation is also the fundamental reason why this fruit's ability has not left a reputation in history...
That is, when using the fruit's ability to contain objects, the esper can only contain objects that he can lift, and this determination has very clear requirements for the "integrity" of the object!
Even if the object is wrapped by a slight thin thread, the other end is wrapped around the object that cannot be lifted by the esper...
Then until the esper cuts the thin thread, he still cannot contain the object.
Fortunately...
All these restrictions have no impact on Usopp!
In his hands, storage fruit is no longer a convenient ability to store objects!
Rather, it is a perfect biological breeding base, a true...
A place for warriors! ! !
