Start by Eating Jake Jake no Mi

Chapter 158: Amazing Land



After defeating the king and the armies of this kingdom, Masa directly occupied the castle of the Drum Kingdom. His behavior was like that of a pirate, yet after everyone saw his power, no one thought to fight, and Masa didn't seem to have an interest in them, so all of them sighed in relief. 

As long as they didn't trouble Masa, everything would be alright, they thought, so they just continued their lives as usual. However, then again, they wondered what would happen to their future. 

Yet, Masa didn't care about that since he had to say that his gains on this island were great, especially when he gained two Devil Fruits directly. 

Baku Baku no Mi and Noko Noko no Mi. 

Still, because of those two Devil Fruits, he had to say that the Drum Kingdom was an island with a lot of blessings. A place full of snow like this should be in poverty, and people would be living a hard life, yet somehow, the medical knowledge in this kingdom was so advanced, and the economics of the people in this country also wasn't bad since unlike the neighboring country, the people in this country had no need to raise a rebellion. 

At the same time, the number of Devil Fruits on this island was strangely high. 

Four Devil Fruits. 

There were a number of Devil Fruits that existed in this land, which made Masa realize how amazing this island was. 

Zoan fruit that made the user become a bison aside, the two Paramecia Devil Fruits that he gained from Wapol and his older brother, Musshuru, are quite good. 

Baku Baku no Mi, Wapol's Devil Fruit, was a good Devil Fruit as it allowed the user to eat anything, and at the same time, the user could also gain the property of anything that he had eaten. 

If Masa gave an example, if he ate a tree, then he could become a tree. 

If he ate a cannon, then he could become a cannon.

If he ate a nuclear bomb, then he could become a nuclear bomb.

Amazing, right?

Frankly, Masa wished to eat this Devil Fruit, as it allowed him to eat anything, whether it was air, water, light, or anything in this world that could become a source of his energy. 

As he grew stronger, while his appetite wasn't as exaggerated as Luffy's, he knew that he needed to eat a lot, especially when he did intense activities such as fighting and all, but considering the amount of food produced in this world, he knew that the source of food was limited, especially when the world was about to sink.

Except for fish, there was hardly anything, but if one ate fish all the time, it was normal for them to feel sick, right? 

However, if he ate the Baku Baku no Mi, even with just air, he could fill his belly. 

Or rather, Masa could imagine that he could become similar to a sun or a star by consuming hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. 

There were other uses, but the concept of eating gained after eating this Devil Fruit was the one that Masa sought the most. 

Masa might have a Jake Jake no Mi, which allowed him to devour, but he knew himself that instead of devouring, he used those he ate corpses he had eaten like a jacket inside his body. He turned those he had devoured into jacket-like existence inside his body, mixed them together, and wore them to gain their abilities instead of completely devouring them like what the Baku Baku no Mi did. 

While Masa didn't want to admit it, he had to say that the Jake Jake no Mi wasn't such a powerful Devil Fruit and similar to the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard before, he had to evolve it; if he wanted it to be better. 

'Hm... this Baku Baku no Mi can also help me to evolve too...' 

By eating, he could become stronger. 

This was probably one of the buggiest Devil Fruits in One Piece, Masa thought. 

On the other hand, Noko Noko no Mi was also quite good as it allowed one to control and create mushrooms. 

'Mushrooms, huh?' 

Well, it was good, but it wasn't the best. 

Regardless, Kureha and the Isshi-20, the twenty most skilled doctors on Drum Island, whom Wapol took for himself in order to make his subjects dependent on him for their services, were all in front of Masa, who had taken the throne of the Drum Kingdom for himself. 

Yet, Kureha and all the doctors here had to say that Masa's companions, besides the women, were quite unique, they thought. 

'A living skeleton and a group of talking cats?' 

Cute cats aside, how the heck could a skeleton live? 

"Hyohohoho..." Brook felt scared by Kureha's gaze and all the doctors' gazes somehow. 

"Don't look at Brook like that. He is the user of Devil Fruit," Masa said. 

"Can I ask what kind of a Devil Fruit it is?" 

Except for Kureha, no one dared to talk to this young man without permission, especially after Masa had killed Wapol and most of the soldiers under Wapol. More importantly, even if the bipedal, talking cats were cute, the weapons they held weren't cute at all! 

Masa didn't say anything and looked at Brook. 

"Hyohohoho, it's Yomi Yomi no Mi. It allows me to revive after death." 

"...Devil Fruit is amazing," Kureha murmured as it was her first time to see someone who could live once again after death and even live in a skeleton body with afro hair. "Then, how about you, Handsome? Can I ask what kind of Devil Fruit you ate?" 

"Pika Pika no Mi. I am a light human." 

"...." Everyone. 

"...the one that was eaten by Admiral Kizaru?" 

"That one." 

"..." 

Kureha and everyone took a deep breath and thought that they were fortunate that they were obedient. 

Yes, as they were unable to fight Wapol and just let this greedy king do whatever he wanted in this kingdom in front of Masa, all they could do was follow his whim. 

"Don't look at me like that. I am not a pirate. I am just here to learn about medical knowledge." 

"....." 

Oh, right, he wasn't a pirate! 

They forgot this fact since Masa was just too... lawless, but then again, in this world, those with power would be lawless. 

"But... are you sure that you are okay? You have killed a king from a country that is part of the World Government, you know?" 

Considering Masa's face happened to be her taste, Kureha had to say that she felt worried about him, so she couldn't help but remind him that he had become the enemy of the World Government after killing Wapol. 

"Well, I will just silence those who know it so they won't report me." 

"...." 

Everyone suddenly felt their hearts heavy when they heard such an easy and free answer from Masa, who could even kill the lives of all the people on this island without worry. 

"I am kidding." Masa smiled and said, "So, do your best to keep the fact that your king died a secret, okay?" 

"Ah, um." 

Scary! 

However, there was no doubt that they swore to keep everything that they saw today a secret, or else, even if they had ten lives, it was impossible for them to escape from Masa, who had eaten the Pika Pika no Mi. 

Still, Masa and everyone were attracted to the figure of a civet cat that tried to hide but showed its body to everyone. 

Only Masa's expression changed since he knew well that this was the user of the strongest Zoan Devil Fruit. 

Tony Tony Chopper.
