Chapter 26: Improvement of Physical Talent (Part 2)
By the end of his explanation, Luo Han felt a little embarrassed! Such a broken ability, and he hadn't even noticed it—how embarrassing!!
"I see! Then… can you use this ability on other people?"
Uncle Witt looked at Luo Han with a hopeful gaze, hoping he would give a positive answer.
Unfortunately, Uncle Witt was destined to be disappointed.
Luo Han replied, "Uh… no! This kind of spiritual guidance seems to only work on me."
Sigh! Uncle Witt sighed in his heart. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. With such a powerful ability, if it could also be used on others…
Then everyone could reach the level of Cole!
You have to understand, the minimum potential I see for Cole is Rear Admiral. Only when he reaches Admiral level would he truly fulfill my expectations.
Just imagine! A hundred Admirals under command—the scenery on Ring Tree Island would be absolutely stunning.
Uncle Witt envisioned that beautiful future…
…
And in his daydream, a lecherous smile crept across Uncle Witt's face. (Think of Borsalino's smirk as a reference.)
Uh… Seeing that creepy smile, Luo Han shivered inexplicably. He really wasn't used to this. Usually, Uncle Witt was quite stern, but when he got lost in his own world, he could become this pervy?
"Ahem! Ahem… um… Luo Han."
Clearly, Uncle Witt had also realized his odd expression and was a bit embarrassed.
"Uncle Witt, actually, my current spiritual fruit ability can't extend outside my body yet, so I can't enhance others' physical talent.
But once my spiritual fruit evolves enough to reach outside, I should be able to help others improve their physical gifts too. The specific conditions might only become clear by then.
Still, I have this gut feeling that I can help others get stronger, hehe!" Luo Han said to the embarrassed Uncle Witt.
Uh… Just when Uncle Witt was about to speak, he froze!
Could my dream actually come true?! Hmm! If the World Government or other pirate powers learned about this ability…
Then... it must be kept secret!
His expression turned serious as he said to Luo Han, "Luo Han! You must never let anyone know about this ability—aside from me and your Uncle Kate.
You have no idea just how abnormal your ability is! Once the outside world finds out...
It'll be a disaster—for both you and Ring Tree Island.
Do you understand?"
Luo Han also became serious. This world is all about the survival of the fittest.
An ability that enhances physical talent is like a machine for mass-producing strong people. What force wouldn't be tempted?
"I understand, Uncle Witt. I won't tell anyone!" Luo Han answered solemnly.
This ability that improves physical talent is like a bloodline limit from the Naruto world.
Just imagine!
When Uchiha Madara needed his brother's eyes to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, you did it just by improving physical talent.
When the Mangekyō Sharingan evolved into the Rinnegan by using Hashirama's cells, you did it again through physical talent enhancement.
Isn't that terrifying? Here's another example—
In a cultivation world, spiritual talent is everything. Everyone starts with trash spirit roots.
But you can upgrade your trash root into the best root. Simply put, you can turn a loser into a genius.
Well, congratulations! All factions and people will only choose between killing you or controlling you.
Either you make me and my people stronger—or you die. There is no middle ground. Let fate decide.
You showed up and started doing the work of the heavens. How can anyone feel at ease with that?
I wouldn't have realized it if I hadn't thought about it! Damn! It's lucky I'm still on Ring Tree Island and only told Uncle Witt. If the World Government found out, I'd be in big trouble.
Worst case? I'd spend my whole life on the run from the World Government's intelligence agency.
Maybe I'd just get killed on the spot!
Thank goodness! Luo Han quietly rejoiced in his heart.
Seeing Luo Han looking so relieved, Uncle Witt smiled.
Then, as if realizing something, he became serious again and said, "Luo Han! Don't worry too much! Thankfully, you developed telekinesis as an alternate form of your spiritual fruit.
From now on, just use telekinesis in battle. Publicly, I'll say you ate the Psychokinesis Fruit.
Don't show your physical enhancement powers easily. Use your developed telekinesis to wrap your body in close combat.
That way, others won't be able to guess your real Devil Fruit ability.
I suspect the Devil Fruit the World Government was originally after was your Spiritual Fruit—not Cole's Kun-Kun Fruit.
That Zoan-type Devil Fruit was probably found by the government spy himself. I don't think the World Government even knows about it yet.
Still, if you and Cole go out to sea one day, be careful. Don't expose your abilities unless absolutely necessary."
Luo Han: "I'll be careful, Uncle Witt!"
Luo Han felt a bit lucky that he had developed telekinesis first as a cover. Not bad!
But—how did Uncle Witt know I wanted to go out to sea?
On second thought, it makes sense. I'm always at Qingya Cliff staring longingly at the ocean. Anyone could guess I want to leave.
Maybe back then, Uncle Witt and my father stood at the same cliff, gazing at the sea, dreaming of the outside world!
For now, I just need to wait till I grow stronger. Play it safe! No reckless moves!
"Alright! Got it, Uncle Witt! Then… can I come get Rainbow Fish in the future?"
Luo Han asked Uncle Witt. After all, the Rainbow Fish could quickly help him improve his physical gifts.
"How about this? From now on, I'll save one for you each night! Eat it and train at night.
I'll just say I ate it. No one will suspect a thing!"
Uncle Witt thought for a moment and then added seriously, "Even though the people of Ring Tree Island are good, your spiritual guidance ability must never be revealed.
Good thing we didn't know what fruit this was back then either!"
"I understand. I'll head back to the hunting team to train," Luo Han replied, then flew up to the island peak to train with Cole.
In the following days, Luo Han trained in combat with Cole in the mornings, and in the afternoons, he patrolled the island outskirts with Uncle Kate and the others.
Originally, there was a rotation, but due to Luo Han and Cole's special roles as the island's "emergency response team,"
they kept joining the patrols.
At night, instead of going to Qingya Cliff, Luo Han stayed home to chat with Grandma Mo.
Grandma Mo's body was already very old—almost a hundred years. Luo Han wanted to spend more time with her.
After all, old age is a time of loneliness. Watching familiar friends pass away one by one feels like the erasure of your existence from the world's memory.
Eventually, everything around you becomes unrecognizable, and the loneliness consumes you like darkness.
In times like these, what matters most is the presence of family. Luo Han wanted to accompany Grandma Mo on the final journey of her life.
Late at night—
After Grandma Mo fell asleep, Luo Han would eat the Rainbow Fish to guide his physical enhancement. It usually took just a few hours to absorb all its energy.
Then he would stop—otherwise, he'd become skinny as a skeleton again.
This routine continued for the next six months!
