Devil Fruit Rubber is a fruit eaten by Monkey D. Luffy, the main character of this world. Its ability turns the body into rubber. The user can stretch and compress any part of the body at will, including internal organs, skin, and even teeth. The rubber body has incredible elasticity and is resistant to most physical attacks.
However, the Rubber Fruit is not actually a Paramecia type. It is a Zoan, and it has another name that was erased from history by the World Government and hidden: Fruit of All People Mythical Beast Nike Form! It is a Devil Fruit that bears the name of a god! It has a will of its own!
For centuries, the World Government has tried to reclaim the Rubber Fruit, but to no avail. This has been going on for 800 years.
It is said that when the owner's body and mind match the "ability", an awakening occurs. After awakening, the rubber body gains a new level of strength and freedom. This is the most incredible ability in the world!
For hundreds of years, the Rubber Fruit never awakened until more than ten years in the future...
Thinking of this, Sonic sat on the ground, feeling dizzy, and held the treasure box containing the Rubber Fruit tightly in his hands.
But soon he came to his senses, and greed appeared in his dark eyes, hidden behind dark green glasses.
- What if I eat the Rubber Fruit? Does that mean I'll become the main character of the new era?
Then greed gave way to deep regret.
- Damn it! I already ate one Devil Fruit, and I can't eat another one! If I knew I was going to get the Rubber Fruit, why did I even eat the Sickle Fruit!
But then regret gave way to panic.
- Holy shit! So I have to escort the Rubber Fruit along with that loser Who's who, and then we get robbed by the Redhaired Pirates? Will I be able to stand up to them now? If I lose like Who's who , will I get thrown into Impel Down too?
"Hey, what's wrong?" Who's who reached out to touch Sonic's shoulder in confusion.
Sonic woke up and looked at Who's who . He felt dizzy and his scalp felt numb.
He didn't know how to explain or what to say.
So he simply shook his head, indicating that everything was fine, stood up, and handed Who's who the treasure chest containing the Rubber Fruit. He then walked slightly unsteadily toward the secret passage and left the underground cave.
Devil Fruits are the secret treasures of the sea. They are called "the embodiment of the sea devil." Those who possess these fruits gain incredible abilities comparable to the power of the devil himself.
But precisely because the Devil Fruit is the embodiment of the devil, a person can only eat one and gain one ability. If they eat more because of greed for power, the body will not withstand the curse and explode.
Therefore, for Sonic, no matter how valuable the Rubber Fruit was, it was of no particular interest to him. Unless he decided to betray the World Government and start over, then he could give the Rubber Fruit to his subordinates.
However, due to the Rubber Fruit's special nature, it requires a certain "person" to unlock its true power. Otherwise, it is simply a good Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
In other words, the Rubber Fruit is like a piece of chicken: you can't eat it, but it's a shame to throw it away!
For the current Sonic, if he escaped with the Rubber Fruit, it would be like holding a hot potato. He would be pursued by the World Government and the Marines.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Who's who looked at Sonic's back and noticed that he had become very depressed. This made him puzzled.
He then looked down at the Devil Fruit in the treasury and thought:
- Did that stinking ferret really want to eat that Fruit? Is there something special about it?
...
Above the Red Line – Holy Land Marijoa Pangea castle –
The Five Elders, who wield the greatest power in the world, have gathered in the Hall of Power for an emergency meeting regarding the news they have just received.
"According to CP9's report, they found the Rubber Fruit!" an old man in a black suit, with white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, a flat hat, and a scar on the left side of his face said slowly.
The expressions on the faces of the other four changed: some were surprised, some were thoughtful.
One of the Five Elders, in a dark green suit, bald, with a disheveled beard and a birthmark on his forehead, asked with excitement:
- Rubber Fruit? You mean that very "Rubber Fruit"?
"That's right, this is the 'Rubber Fruit' that the government has been unable to retrieve for the past 800 years!" The five Elders with white curly hair nodded and emphasized the words 'Rubber Fruit'.
"Then where is he now?" The Five Elders in a dark red suit, no tie, with blond hair and beard, and a scar on his chest, narrowed his eyes and immediately asked.
"The CP Agency conducted a joint operation led by two official members of CP9. They killed Frank Jeff, the leader of Frank's [money printing press] group, at Wendeng Port on Iworo Island and destroyed the world's largest banknote counterfeiting machine. Among the treasures left behind by Frank Jeff, the Rubber Fruit was found," the Five Elders with white curly hair slowly explained.
- They really did it with that annoying Frank group. They really are capable! - The Five Elders in a dark blue suit, with long straight white hair and a long beard, was slightly surprised.
"Then what are you waiting for? Have the CP9 people deliver the Rubber Fruit to the Holy Land of Marineford as quickly as possible!" The Five Elders in a white coat, with a bald head, round glasses, and a samurai sword in his hands, stood up abruptly and urgently said, "Order the marines and CP agents from the nearby bases to move out, and then gather the fleet from the Marine Headquarters and make sure the Rubber Fruit is delivered here without delay!"
"Wait, isn't that too loud?" The Five Elders with white curly hair hesitated and said, "We've been hiding the real secret of the Rubber Fruit, letting the world think it's just an ordinary Paramecia Devil Fruit. If we act too proactively, it will only draw the attention of interested parties to its secret!"
Hearing this, the four Five Elders shuddered slightly and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"I agree with what Saint Satan said!" After a moment, the blond Five Elders nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "You must understand that over the past 800 years, we have tried to bring back the Rubber Fruit, but we have failed. In the past, the Rubber Fruit never awakened, so we take this seriously, but we still need to keep a low profile."
Then the bearded Five Elders also reminded, "Don't forget about the Op-Op Fruit trade. The Marines and CP departments are currently focusing their attention on Northern Blue, and those pursuing the Sun Pirates have also left. We have gained a lot of strength, but we still need to maintain enough troops to fight the monsters in the New World. We are short of people, and even if we want to mobilize a large fleet to escort the Rubber Fruit, we may not be able to gather enough ships and combat power."
"This is truly a headache!" The Bald Five Elders looked dissatisfied. He couldn't help but raise his hands to his forehead, saying in a low tone, "In that case, let the CP9 people escort him themselves. After all, in the first half of the Great Road, two CP9 agents are enough to handle most attacks."
"I think so. They say that the two CP9 agents who found the Rubber Fruit are not weak. One is called 'Who's who', he claims to be a genius who is as talented as Rob Lucci. The other one is called 'Baptiste Sonic', he is the strongest in CP9, even more talented than Rob Lucci. It seems that CP0 is already preparing to test him and wants to accept him into their ranks," the Five Elders with white curly hair nodded and told the information he learned.
"It seems like there are many promising personnel in this CP9!" The Five Elders in the white coat smiled, and then said in a stern tone: "Then tell Spandine to have his men deliver the Rubber Fruit to the Holy Land of Mariejois at any cost, even if it costs them their lives! Also tell Baptiste Sonic that this task will be considered his test. If he succeeds, he will be allowed to join CP0 right away!"
