Chapter 452: The Candidate for the Glint-Glint Fruit!
Regarding the issue of stopping 'The Rumbling', Im was also deep in thought, especially since he had a deeper understanding of the 'Titan World'.
But precisely because of this, he also knew how troublesome the matter was.
To think about this matter, he didn't even have the interest to see the four sisters of the Ubuyashiki Family after they were brought to Noah's Ark. He merely had Stussy arrange for people to train and educate them in maid duties.
Because Im felt that this game of wits with Eren, separated by a Star Gate, was more interesting!
"Let me think, from that kid Eren's perspective, he must have known long ago that those armies couldn't stop the World Government's invasion, and he also knew that the Strength of the Titan Shifters wouldn't be a match for Garp and the others. So the best option is to leave beforehand, then hide with all his trusted Partners..."
Why hide?
Because as long as he is alive, 'The Rumbling' will not stop.
Even if Paradis Island is destroyed, he can still transform into the Final Tail Giant (Eren's Founder Titan Form in the manga) and summon a large number of Wall Titans to form a new round of 'The Rumbling'.
In other words, even if the World Government defeats the World Alliance Army and conquers the Titan World, as long as Eren doesn't die, he and the other Titan Shifter Hosts will always be a huge trouble.
A group of Terrorists who can 'nuke' a City at any time and summon countless Wall Titans to trample everything at any time!
"So how do we find them?"
This is the main point Im was thinking about, and it was also the problem that Sengoku, Tsuru, and the others on the other side were struggling with!
You must know.
In the Titan World, there are not only Battle Airships but also things like Biplane Bombers. Their Mobility is already particularly troublesome.
Coupled with his absurd 'Simulator' level Future Sight Ability, he can completely achieve 100% evasion from anyone's Arrest!
Unless real-time monitoring and Position locking of Eren can be achieved from beyond visual range.
But now, we don't even know which direction he's in!
Im sorted out his thoughts.
"First, we need to figure out the current Time point in the Titan World, and then deduce Eren's Age from that, so we can roughly know how long 'The Rumbling' can last at most."
"Second, we need to lock onto Eren's direction, and preferably figure out his Position as well."
"Finally, dispatch people with high-speed Mobility to pursue and Arrest."
Then, the problem circled back. To know the Time point in the Titan World, they needed to find a native of the Titan World to understand, but there was no common language or Writing!
Language and Writing, there was actually a way to solve them.
That was to find Scholars specializing in language to translate the three mainstream languages of the Titan World: Marleyan, Middle Eastern, and Eldian.
But that would take too long.
So, since conventional Means wouldn't work, they could only think of Unconventional Means, such as Devil Fruit Abilities.
While recalling relevant information from the 'Canon', Im ordered Stussy to bring the latest Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and a Devil Fruit Record Book from the Holy Land Treasury.
Then he quickly flipped through these two large books of different thicknesses.
Soon.
He found the most suitable Devil Fruit.
The Paramecia System Language Fruit Ability User. The Basic Abilities allow the Ability User to understand the effective speech of any Creature and also allow their own words to be understood by any Creature.
The most powerful part is its Awakening, which allows the language spoken by the Ability User to be realized to a certain extent!
What does that mean?
For example, if this Ability User says "Sword, come!" a sword will definitely appear out of thin air, or if they shout "Fire Wall!" a Wall formed by Flame will also appear.
Although it is said that these things are only temporary, this Ability can be quite powerful if used well.
Then, in the Devil Fruit Record Book, Im tried to find this Language Fruit, but as expected, he didn't find it!
Well.
How could things go so smoothly?
There was no other way but to keep searching. He then found similar ones in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, such as the Paramecia System Text Fruit, and the subordinate Language Fruit, the Paramecia System Listen-Listen Fruit.
But these were not in the Record Book.
However.
You wouldn't know if you didn't look, but once you looked, you were shocked. There were so many Devil Fruits. Just those recorded numbered over fifty thousand.
And the existing Devil Fruits in the Holy Land Treasury reached over ten thousand, among which only about six thousand could be matched in the Encyclopedia. This meant that the remaining four thousand or so Devil Fruits had completely unknown Abilities!
And the Language Fruit, Text Fruit, and Listen-Listen Fruit belonged to the type that were recorded in the Encyclopedia but not in the Treasury.
So, it was quite frustrating...
"Hmm, Listen-Listen Fruit?"
Im's clear Gaze flickered a few times, because based on this Fruit, he thought of another Devil Fruit, the Paramecia System Glint-Glint Fruit!
"I remember the Glint-Glint Fruit has the Ability to see through others' inner thoughts, and it also has a super long-range Ability, granting a Vision radius of four thousand kilometers. Isn't this exactly what's needed now?"
What is the concept of four thousand kilometers?
The Diameter of the north-south territory of that great Country in his Previous Life was about five thousand five hundred kilometers, and the east-west distance was about five thousand two hundred kilometers!
Immediately.
Im picked up the Transponder Snail again and gave an Order to Stussy outside, telling her to bring the Data on Viola, the second princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom.
"I remember she ate the Glint-Glint Fruit Ability when she was about ten years old. She should be about right now, shouldn't she?"
He was just a little worried that the still young Viola might not be able to reach the level she would twenty-four years later due to insufficient training and Development of her Fruit Ability.
Not long after, Stussy arrived with the Data. She had a graceful figure and wore a black dress with Black Threads.
"No way, is Viola only five years old, and she's not even a Glint-Glint Fruit Ability User?"
Im frowned upon seeing this. After he finished reading all the Content, his mood improved slightly, because it stated that the Paramecia System Glint-Glint Fruit was in the Treasury of the Riku Royal Family.
It must be said that Cipher Pol is quite effective in monitoring the Royalty of various Kingdoms, they even know what's in their Treasuries.
"So, who should the Glint-Glint Fruit be given to?"
This was a Devil Fruit many times more powerful than the Byakugan, and it would definitely be useful in many places in the Future. Therefore, the Candidate needed to be chosen carefully.
It would be best if the person could be put to use immediately after eating it, after all, Eren needed to be found urgently.
Right.
The person themselves must also have a certain level of Strength, so they can be directly sent to Arrest Eren and his group. With sufficient Strength, there's no need to worry about them being easily killed.
Otherwise, if the Ability User dies, it would be difficult to find the Glint-Glint Fruit again.
"Someone Strong, fast, and suitable for the Glint-Glint Fruit..." Im sat deep in thought on the Empty Throne.
The Kuja Guards below silently stood Guard on both sides of the Main Hall, like Valkyries clad in silver armor and wielding Silver Bows. The silver arrows in the quivers at their Waists gleamed with scarlet patterned sheen.
And Stussy stood on the Red Carpet, quietly waiting for the Order.
At this moment, Im suddenly looked up and thought to himself, perhaps that person could work, but his Personality has some issues. But no matter what, let's bring him back first.
Immediately, he said coldly to Stussy, "Send an Order to the Five Elders. Have them immediately send people to find Baroque Redfield's whereabouts, an approximate range is fine!"
