Chapter 174 - I Want It All 

What delighted Xiao Feng the most was that the Glint-Glint Fruit in front of him had been optimized and improved by the system, with its weakness to seastone removed.

To be honest, among the many Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Glint-Glint Fruit was undoubtedly one of the most powerful. Especially in terms of pure speed—if it came to moving at the speed of light, not even a Dou God-level powerhouse could catch up to someone like Kizaru.

"Crunch!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Feng bit into the Glint-Glint Fruit.

When the overwhelmingly disgusting taste, worse than raw pig intestines, exploded in his mouth, he immediately wore a mask of pain, showing a look of utter despair. Instinctively, he let go of the fruit.

[Hey, you scooper of poop! Don't waste good stuff! If you don't want it, I won't be polite! Nom~]

The greedy Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python didn't notice Xiao Feng's twisted face of agony. It flashed toward the Glint-Glint Fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

Although Xiao Feng had already bitten the Glint-Glint Fruit, rendering it useless in turning the eater into a Light-Man, the disgusting taste remained entirely intact.

[Blegh—this tastes awful! Just awful…]

The python gagged uncontrollably, retching and rolling on the ground in disgust.

[You idiot! It's bad enough you're gluttonous, but don't drag me into your mess! Blegh…]

Equally nauseated, Queen Medusa furiously complained about the python's foolishness in her mind. If she hadn't seen the snake eat the Glint-Glint Fruit with her own eyes, she might've suspected it had secretly eaten excrement. How else could something taste so awful?

Xiao Feng, recovering from the disgusting sensation, noticed the python rolling around. Shaking his head with amusement, he waved it into his palm.

Seeing its dejected expression, Xiao Feng patted its little head with a smile and said, "You glutton, maybe now you'll think twice before eating random things?"

[Scooper of poop, how was I supposed to know you'd eat something so disgusting? This is entrapment!]

The python flicked its tongue, looking aggrieved.

[Serves you right! That'll teach you to control your appetite.]

If the python hadn't been so gluttonous, it wouldn't have pledged allegiance to Xiao Feng while Medusa was still dormant. Queen Medusa wouldn't have had to keep pretending she hadn't woken up.

Xiao Feng ignored Medusa's complaints and turned his attention to the remaining three Devil Fruits.

Ordinarily, a person can only consume one Devil Fruit. However, there are exceptions. For instance, Blackbeard could consume three Devil Fruits simultaneously.

Before Xiao Feng transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, One Piece hadn't officially revealed why Blackbeard could wield three fruits. Still, fans had two plausible theories:

Blackbeard's unique physiology, such as possessing three hearts, allowed him to handle the power of three fruits.Blackbeard had Dissociative Identity Disorder, with three personalities, each capable of consuming a fruit.

Regardless of which theory was true, Xiao Feng could perfectly replicate the phenomenon with his current abilities.

In Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji modified his body to have five brains and seven hearts. Similarly, Xiao Feng possessed the perfect Demon King bloodline and inherited advanced medical knowledge from Jiang Chen, enabling him to easily add more hearts to his body.

Furthermore, Xiao Feng could create emotional avatars, each representing a different emotion, effectively mimicking Dissociative Identity Disorder.

With this in mind, Xiao Feng used his advanced medical skills to implant three additional hearts into his body. Then, he summoned three emotional avatars: "Rage," "Joy," and "Sorrow."

"Blegh, blegh, blegh…"

Following Xiao Feng's instructions, each avatar consumed one Devil Fruit, gagging uncontrollably at the taste.

As expected, when Xiao Feng reabsorbed the avatars, he gained the powers of the Azure Dragon Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and Stone-Stone Fruit.

The Azure Dragon Fruit was among the rare Mythical Zoan Fruits, even rarer than Logia Fruits, and one of the most powerful. Consuming it granted the ability to transform into an Azure Dragon, providing immense defensive and regenerative powers, as well as control over thunder, fire, and storms.

In dragon form, one could unleash scorching flames, razor-sharp wind blades, and roaring thunderbolts. Kaido's title as the "Strongest Creature" stemmed largely from the Azure Dragon Fruit's abilities, granting unparalleled resilience and recovery.

Moreover, Devil Fruits were unique in that their power scaling wasn't fixed but proportional to the user's strength.

Given Xiao Feng's current Four-Star Dou Emperor level, the Azure Dragon Fruit boosted his physical strength to rival that of peak Tier 6 magical beasts. This was only the beginning, as he had yet to fully develop the fruit's potential.

If Xiao Feng awakened the fruit like Kaido, his physical strength could reach that of a Tier 7 magical beast.

While the Shadow-Shadow and Stone-Stone Fruits lacked the Azure Dragon Fruit's raw power, their effectiveness depended on the creativity of the user. For instance, the String-String Fruit, used by Doflamingo, could have been relegated to tailoring but became a deadly weapon in his hands.

With Xiao Feng's imagination and experience, he could develop the Shadow-Shadow and Stone-Stone Fruits far beyond their representation in the anime.

For the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Xiao Feng planned to draw inspiration from the Nara Clan's shadow techniques in Naruto and the Shadow Warriors from Jackie Chan Adventures. He envisioned creating a Shadow Kingdom or an army of shadow warriors unique to himself.
