"What should I do?" Law rubbed his temples.
He extended his hand, and a faint purplish light appeared in his palm. He placed his palm on his chest. This new ability, developed from ultraviolet light, possessed various auxiliary functions such as sterilization, X-ray vision, and medical healing. The dirt covering his body from training was quickly cleansed, and some hidden injuries sustained from extreme training rapidly recovered. When the faint purple light covered his eyes, Law could see everything in the ROOM space. He could generate X-ray vision. If combined with Observation Haki, nothing in the space could escape Law's perception. Many abilities had been added, but their strength and power were still in the initial stages, not yet considered trump cards.
"If I can develop each of these abilities further, will my strength experience a burst?" Law was strong, but this strength was gained from six years of continuous extreme training, climbing step by step. Now, he was accumulating power to unleash it, needing more powerful offensive methods to release the surging power within him. Law sheathed his knife and turned to walk home. Devil Fruit development had achieved great success, but many abilities Law hadn't yet developed, such as Dimensional Slash? Or true teleportation, or tampering with and deleting others' memories, or seizing others' life. These more terrifying abilities, Law had worked on, but currently only had some initial ideas. These abilities, beyond the conventional laws of nature, clearly wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
At home. Law pondered deeply, finally arriving at a helpless answer: no matter how he developed super electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic fields, he couldn't bypass current and voltage. And increasing current and voltage was very difficult to achieve with the Op-Op Fruit's abilities.
"It seems I can only rely on external forces?" Law finally came to this helpless conclusion: "If external forces are involved?" A flash of inspiration in his mind: "Regarding lightning power, in nature, it naturally belongs to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit possesses the power to control lightning, and can naturally easily increase current and voltage. Tens of millions of volts can be easily reached." Thinking of this, Law knew no external force could compare to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in terms of increasing current and voltage.
"If I got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?" Law's eyes lit up. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was a top-tier Logia-type, in no way inferior to fruits like the Glint-Glint or Mag-Mag Fruits. "With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability, plus the enhancement of my existing abilities, I should soon be able to rival an Admiral, right?" Having discovered the most perfect path, Law no longer considered other options.
"According to my timeline, the original owner of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel, most likely hasn't obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit yet. There's still a chance. If I can get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, what object should I give the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to?" Giving an object Devil Fruit abilities was a known ability in the original story. Naturally, it would be easy to do.
"But if an object possesses a Devil Fruit ability, can it perfectly manifest that ability?" Law frowned, pondering. Objects lacked souls and couldn't cultivate. Devil Fruit abilities required self-development and training to possess greater power. Letting an object possess a Devil Fruit ability would fundamentally prevent further increases in its power. Even if the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could grant immense power upon acquisition, how strong would that initial power be? Tens of thousands of volts? Or hundreds of thousands, even millions of volts? Very strong, but ending at such a level would be a terrible waste for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. And how much use would such a level be in battles against top-tier powerhouses?
"If I could possess the Rumble-Rumble Fruit myself, that would be perfect." This was naturally the most perfect solution, but if it could be done... No need to think, there was already a precedent in the original story. "There was only one person in the original story who possessed two or more Devil Fruit abilities, Blackbeard? Blackbeard could possess two or more abilities. The fundamental reason wasn't his Dark-Dark Fruit, but his abnormal body structure that achieved this result, right? The Dark-Dark Fruit was just a means for him to steal Devil Fruit abilities." Law's eyes lit up.
"Modifying genes and bodies, with the medical knowledge I currently possess combined with the Op-Op Fruit, shouldn't be too outlandish, right?" Law felt fortunate that he had continuously researched human anatomy and medical techniques for these six years. It allowed his research on human cells and other aspects to reach an expert level. Otherwise, he might now be sitting on a treasure mountain he couldn't access.
"If I could obtain Blackbeard's cellular genes, I could definitely research the mysteries of his body and use that to modify my own genetic and cellular structure. Could I also possess more than one ability?" Law's heart stirred. The Op-Op Fruit was powerful. But its abilities leaned more towards medical and auxiliary means; its direct offensive capabilities weren't too strong. The Grand Line was a place where strength reigned supreme. Without immense power, without powerful offensive capabilities, how could one become king?
"Although I can't guarantee complete success, if I don't try, I can't accept it." Even if he couldn't obtain Blackbeard's cellular genes, he could still unlock the mysteries of his body. But if he didn't try, there would be no possibility at all.
