NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Basire!
Having missed an opportunity to rise, he had to work hard for his own survival again, continue to learn the language, and continue to exercise and strengthen himself.
The power that belonged to the Logia Devil Fruit was so shocking that he also longed for the Devil Fruit's abilities.
In this way, Dai Die, who lived a bloody life in the gang, gradually lost his innocence and became more ruthless!
Because he gradually learned the language and had a brain that was a lot smarter than the stupid gangsters, he kept rising in the Barto Club and his status became higher and higher.
Later, he deliberately tried to please the Cannibal Bartolomeo, the boss of the Barto Club, and then contacted Barto's most respected grandmother to gain greater power.
It turns out that this grandma is the real decision-maker of the Barto family! (Not really)
She is actually Bartolomeo's grandmother!(also fake, she's a sweets shop owner whom all members of Barto Club call grandma, they just respect her because she used to give them sweets when they were kids)
This is an old woman who has been in the New World!(another misunderstanding)
Not only does she have great strength, but she even knows Haki, so she can treat Bartolomeo, the gang boss, like a little sheep. (once again he misunderstood, just because he saw her beating and scolding Bartolomeo)
No wonder that after the future Barto Club goes to sea, even if they go to the New World to make a living, they will often call back to ask this grandma about New World's navigation knowledge!
(The grandma doesn't actually know anything about the new world, but would still give them random advice that sometimes would help and sometimes wouldn't, they are just incredibly lucky to survive so long without a navigator xD)
Dai Die's rapid rise and deliberate performance in the Barto family also allowed this grandma to see his ability and wisdom!
This old woman personally transferred Basire, nicknamed "The Mute", to Bartolomeo's side, hoping to train him into Bartolomeo's strategic right-hand man to help them manage and develop the Barto Club! (She only told Bartolomeo that she thought Basire looked smart and he gave him the position)
The nickname "Mute" was also due to his lack of power and knowledge of the language. As he became stronger and started talking, fewer and fewer people dared to call him this way.
He also took back the nickname "Big Daddy" for himself to remember his life on Earth.
He doesn't mind if others call him Big Daddy or Basire, his ears will automatically filter it to 'Daddy' to take advantage of others!
Gang members with a lower status than him would call him "Big Daddy", while bosses with higher status such as grandma and Bartolomeo would call him "Big D", which to his ears also sound good, though he would prefer if he was called that way by a pretty girl ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Under his advice and the fact that Bartolomeo did have two strong subordinates now (Gambia and Basire), the Barto Club developed even more rapidly and brought more than 160 small towns on the islands near Loguetown into its ruling territory.
The grandma finally taught him some of the most basic two-color Haki training methods. (He would ask her and she would give random advice which he took for valuable insight, what really helped was his knowledge of the manga and anime)
However, because this grandma was worried that Basire would be stronger than Bartolomeo, she did not continue to teach him more things! (She didn't know what she was talking about in the first place)
However, she is willing to teach the navigation knowledge of the Grand Line and New World to the extremely studious Basire, preparing to train a navigator for Bartolomeo.
(He was studying from books and whenever he consulted her on something she would spew random bullshit, but for our MC who had watched One Piece, her words somehow made sense with how ridiculous he had seen the anime could get)
Basire was also very "loyal" in assisting Bartolomeo, and even managed to win over Bartolomeo's childhood sweetheart, Desire, using his knowledge of romance from Earth.
Let him take good care of this red-haired beauty.
After all, Bartolomeo, the Cannibal, is not interested in women, so he can only take her off his hands so she doesn't keep bothering him!
He has to say, this hot red-haired girl is very energetic, and she became even more proactive after completely conquering her!
Much more energetic than the girls from Earth!
···
Now that he has eaten the Paramecia Barrier Fruit, he plans to completely integrate into the world of pirates. From now on, his new name will be Daddy Basire, since he remembers someone named Daddy Masterson so the name is not that weird in this world.
After all, the name Big Daddy Basire has already gained a bit of fame in the waters surrounding Loguetown. He is the ruthless strategist of the Barto family.
And the name also comes from Desire, his first woman in this world.
Now that he has the ability of the Barrier Fruit, he can finally get rid of his position as a simple strategist.
He ignored the corpse of Gambia on the ground. Even if Bartolomeo and grandma would blame him when they found out, he had nothing to fear!
Because no one knows how strong he actually is, much less the new trump card he has!
And in East Blue, it is estimated that not many people can break the barrier fruit's defense.
At least there is no one other than grandma with even a little bit of Armament Haki in Loguetown! (She's just a weak grandma, not the hidden powerhouse he thinks she is)
After all, even Kozuki Oden, who has been to the final island of Laugh Tale and possessed Conqueror's Haki, couldn't break Kurozumi Semimaru's protective barrier. (He was the previous user of the fruit).
Basire threw away the bloody knife in his hand and wiped his bloody hands casually.
He crossed his middle and index fingers, and a light green transparent barrier instantly appeared. It was very hard, as if no attack could break its solid defense!
"Paramecia Barrier Fruit is a creation type Devil Fruit. The development direction of mr3, Doflamingo, Cracker and Katakuri can all provide me with good development ideas!"
He whispered excitedly that although he could not catch a ride with Fire Fist Ace and go to New World to plan for the Dark Fruit, he has now gained a very good Devil Fruit ability, and the development potential of this fruit is also very strong!
The barrier fruit can be developed into many shapes, including stairs, columns, spheres, rackets, and even simple giant humanoid shapes.
This reminds him of the gigantic Susanoo in the Naruto world. Isn't that also an indestructible energy barrier? It was so overpowered that some people said it was the Uchiha plot armor taking a physical form.
"However, Paramecia seems to require a specific gesture to activate. This must be overcome as soon as possible!"
He thought of Nico Robin, Foxy, Cracker and Bartolomeo, who all had to make specific gestures to activate their Devil Fruit ability.
However, after you have seen the mid-to-late New World, Doflamingo and Katakuri, these Paramecia ability user bosses, how could they still be restricted by specific gestures?
If you can only activate Devil Fruit's abilities through specific gestures, then your development level is definitely not deep enough.
At least Doflamingo and Katakuri, who have awakened the Devil Fruit ability, can create threads and mochi at will without having to stick to any gestures.
Cracker still needs to clap his hands to continuously summon powerful cookie soldiers, so his cookie fruit may not have awakened yet.
This is similar to the history of the development of Naruto's hand seals. In the early days, every ninja would conscientiously form seals to activate ninjutsu. However, later on, the seals became more and more simplified, even to the point of exaggeration where they could get whatever they asked for by clapping their hands together.
Especially the Water Dragon Jutsu activated by Zabuza and Kakashi with 44 seals, but in the hands of Senju Tobirama it only requires 4 seals, and Terumi Mei only needs 6 seals.
There are also a ridiculous amount of Ninjutsu which don't use seals in the later stages.
"Now I need to cross the fingers of both hands to activate the ability of the barrier fruit, but in the future, I can also make seals with one hand, seals with my toes, seals with my pupils, and even summon without seals!"
Basire said with confidence. After trying some tricks, he directly grabbed the body from the ground and threw it into the large box of trash in the warehouse.
"Gambia, I'm sorry. If you want to blame something, you can only blame your loyalty to Barto!"
He didn't feel any guilt at all. After all, if he doesn't care for himself, nobody else will do it!
What's more, he is not a native of this world!
This barrier fruit that was supposed to be dedicated to Bartolomeo has now been intercepted by him. Even the one who escorted it, Gambia, was attacked and killed by Basire!
There was no way, this guy was the number one subordinate of the Cannibal Bartolomeo, and he was the most loyal to him, so Basire had no choice but to kill him.
Yesterday, Gambia actually got a Devil Fruit while searching for loot after clearing some opponents on an island, and he immediately contacted Bartolomeo using his den den mushi.
As it turned out, it was such a coincidence that Barto went out without his den den mushi. As the gang's strategist, Basire was at the headquarters and casually received the call.
Gambia did not hide it and happily shared the good news with him.
However, Basire asked Gambia if anyone else knew about the existence of this Devil Fruit.
As a result, Gambia said no, which made Basire immediately become greedy. Since Dark Fruit is not so easy to obtain, there is no reason for him to not want the barrier fruit that was delivered to his door!
However, as Bartolomeo's absolutely loyal subordinate, Gambia wanted to personally deliver the Devil Fruit to his boss and refused to hand over the barrier fruit to Basire. This was also to show off in front of Bartolomeo and not let anyone else take part of the credit.
Basire could only find a reason to invite Gambia to the underground warehouse, then kill him and seize the barrier fruit!
