Under the expectant gaze of Shen Lele and countless viewers in the livestream, Yuuto Kagami began another round of explanation.
"Classmate Shen Lele, I can confirm this for you."
"The Devil Fruit in your hand belongs to the Paramecia type."
"And its name is—String-String Fruit!"
: Paramecia?! So it's a Paramecia-type fruit!
: Tch… Not a Logia? If only it were a Logia-type!
: Bro, are you seriously complaining right now? This is supernatural power we're talking about! I'd be laughing in my sleep if I got even a Zoan-type fruit!
: I remember Fan-bro said before that Paramecia fruits grant a single superpower, right?
: String-String Fruit? What kind of power is that?
: Based on what Fan-bro explained earlier, the name of a Devil Fruit corresponds to its ability. So if the Ice-Ice Fruit lets you freeze everything… does that mean the String-String Fruit lets you… spit silk? Like a spider or something?
: No way, right? That sounds so weak. What are you gonna do, weave clothes with it?
When they heard the name String-String Fruit, many of the viewers seemed a little disappointed.
After all, based on Yuuto Kagami's previous explanations, they knew that Devil Fruits generally did what their names implied.
"Paramecia… the String-String Fruit, huh…"
Shen Lele looked at the Devil Fruit in her hands, a trace of confusion on her face.
Clearly, she didn't quite understand the implications of the name.
Fortunately, Yuuto Kagami had anticipated this and continued his explanation.
"The String-String Fruit…"
"As the name suggests, it's all about strings."
"It gives the user the power to generate and control threads freely, at will!"
However—
The moment Yuuto Kagami said this, the chat exploded in even more skepticism.
: Huh? So that really is the power?
: Creating and manipulating strings? That sounds kinda weak…
: Not gonna lie, this String-String Fruit sounds like it's on a whole different tier from the Ice-Ice Fruit!
: I actually think it sounds pretty strong. Creating something from nothing? That's already super impressive!
: Yeah, but… can that kind of ability be used in combat?
"Only controlling strings, huh…"
This time, even Shen Lele seemed a little disheartened.
But seeing this, Yuuto Kagami just smiled and shook his head.
"Guys, you really shouldn't underestimate the String-String Fruit!"
: Wait, what?! There's a twist??
: Quick, Fan-bro! I've already got my tiny stool ready, start explaining!
: Alright, alright, looks like we're about to get smacked in the face by Fan-bro again!
: But not gonna lie, I'm curious to hear what else this fruit can do.
Under everyone's eager anticipation, Yuuto Kagami said seriously:
"There's a saying that goes—
'There are no useless Devil Fruit abilities. Only useless Devil Fruit users.'"
"What that means is simple."
"No matter what the fruit is or what kind of power it grants, its potential is entirely up to the user!"
"Take the String-String Fruit, for example."
"In theory…"
"It can produce all kinds of threads!"
"Threads strong enough to bind clouds—allowing you to fly through the sky!"
"Threads that let you control other people's bodies like puppets!"
"Threads you can use to stitch up your own body—even internal damage can be repaired!"
"Threads so fine they're invisible to the naked eye—sharp enough to slice through solid steel, sharper than piano wire!"
"You can even twist countless threads together to form massive thread pillars—strong enough to slice a hundred-meter-tall skyscraper in half in a single swipe!"
"…"
: ???
: HOLY SH*T. That escalated QUICKLY.
: Binding clouds to fly? Are you serious? Clouds aren't even solid!!
: Stitching your own body… So you'd never need a doctor again?!
: Invisible threads sharper than steel? Isn't that basically nanotech?! That's futuristic science fiction stuff!
: Giant thread pillars that slice skyscrapers in two—bro, I can't even picture that in my head!!
: Okay but… I still feel like it's not as OP as a Logia Fruit.
: True… Didn't Fan-bro say before that Logia users can change their body into elements, reshape terrain, affect the climate, etc.? The String-String Fruit sounds cool, but it's not on that level.
Seeing some people in chat still thinking Paramecia Fruits weren't as good as Logia, Yuuto Kagami shook his head.
"Paramecia not as strong as Logia?"
"Now that's a massive misconception!"
"Once a Paramecia-type fruit reaches Awakening…"
"It can reach effects similar to those of Logia Fruits!"
: Hold up… Awakening? What's that supposed to mean?
: You're saying Paramecia can reach the same level? Like… changing the environment?
: Wait—do they turn into elements too? That doesn't make sense though…
"Let's go back to the String-String Fruit."
"If you awaken it… its power evolves."
"You gain the ability to affect the environment around you—even buildings and terrain—turning them into threads!"
"And that includes your own body as well!"
: WHAT?! Assimilate everything?!
: Including your body? So… you can become thread? That's basically the same as a Logia Fruit, just with threads instead of fire, ice, etc.
: I take it back, Fan-bro. I apologize. I apologize to the String-String Fruit.
: So… aside from maybe Zoan fruits, all the types can become god-tier if developed properly??
: Hey, don't diss Zoan Fruits either! What if they can awaken too and go full kaiju mode?!
Seeing the barrage of astonishment in chat, Yuuto Kagami gave a satisfied smile.
In fact, in the original One Piece story, Doflamingo had already awakened the String-String Fruit.
He could turn the ground and buildings into threads, and even convert his own body to avoid damage.
"Of course…"
"Reaching that level isn't something that happens overnight."
"It takes long-term training, effort, and mastery…"
Yuuto Kagami continued his explanation.
But by this point, most of the viewers were still stunned by what fruit awakening could really do.
And as for Shen Lele, she was so excited that she wasn't even listening to the second half of the lecture.
Her face was flushed, her eyes sparkling, and she held the String-String Fruit tightly in her arms—as if afraid it might vanish into thin air at any moment.
"F-Fan-bro!"
"I just have one last question!"
Once Yuuto Kagami wrapped up his explanation, Shen Lele hurriedly raised her voice.
Yuuto Kagami: "Go ahead."
Flustered, but trying to speak clearly, she asked:
"I-I want to know… how do I use the String-String Fruit?"
"The method of using a Devil Fruit is simple."
"Just do what I did before—eat it."
