Natural healing, Breathing Regeneration, Third Calabash Brother's indestructibility, the crystallization from the giant world, and all those resistance-type abilities had all been integrated.
They formed a permanent passive ability, pushing his constitution to an even higher level.
That was the origin of -No.
.
[Indestructible Vajra Glazed Body]
[Type: Divine Ability]
[Description: Ignores any destructive damage rated below B-rank, including but not limited to poison gas, sound waves, vibrations, shockwaves, lightning, fire, wind, water, and so on.
For damage rated B-rank and above, permanently gains 20% targeted immunity resistance, covering physical damage, mental damage, fire, lightning, and more.
After being injured, while in combat, the user can continuously recover by drawing healing from the natural environment, such as the sea, volcanoes, land, and so on.
Outside of combat, the passive activates the non-combat Breathing Regeneration trait.]
[Note: This ability will continue to grow along with its user.]
[Note: Relevant elements can be added to further enhance it.]
[Note: It cannot negate material effects caused by kinetic force.]
.
"Damn, that's outrageous."
Ren sucked in a cold breath as he carefully examined the digitized, integrated ability.
The core template of this power was Third Calabash Brother's indestructibility, but after combining it with abilities from other aspects, it had undergone a qualitative transformation.
Any form of damage below B-rank would simply be ignored.
In other words, whether it was cannon fire, bullets, Devil Fruit powers, or all kinds of special damage, all of it would become completely ineffective against Ren.
Even though it could not negate the effects of kinetic force, that was hardly a real flaw.
That point alone meant that swarm tactics were almost useless against Ren. Only true powerhouses could pose any threat to him.
The benchmark for B-rank was the level of Moria or Crocodile at his peak.
That was already the standard of absolute strength in this world.
And against attacks above B-rank, he started with a flat 20% immunity resistance, which was equivalent to cutting an opponent's power by one-fifth right from the beginning of a fight.
The funniest part was that, during Ren's review using the Creator's authority—
this resistance was not factored into the "ignore everything below B-rank" clause.
Which meant that if an enemy was only barely at B-rank—
for example, a swordsman whose slashing power got reduced by one-fifth due to the immunity resistance—
then they would drop from barely being able to break his defense to being completely unable to break it at all.
That was the difference between 0 and 1!
"So this is what a seven-in-one fusion looks like... no, more precisely, this is the 1+1>2 reaction produced by combining seven-in-one with digitization."
Ren praised it sincerely. At least in terms of being tough, he truly stood above the crowd.
Perhaps only a monster like BIG MOM could still overpower him in that regard.
But—
if he kept investing the right corresponding elements, then he might very well become a steel balloon stronger than Charlotte Linlin herself!
At this point, he had pretty much finished reviewing the attribute-related sections.
But there was still a vast amount of data within the digitization, covering all kinds of different aspects.
Ren began reading through it.
The first thing that caught his eye was Fire Calabash's template, though it seemed to have fused with abilities from other fields as well.
.
[Thunder and Flame Mastery]
[Type: Divine Ability]
[Effect: In a passive state, naturally grasps both lightning and fire.
Can manifest lightning out of thin air, manipulate positive and negative charges to generate lightning, command lightning, and is also immune to lightning under one's own control.
Against lightning outside one's control, naturally possesses 10% immunity resistance.
Can summon flames, alter a flame's form, temperature, scale, and more. By infusing it with one's own blood and vitality, its power can be rapidly increased.]
.
Ren glanced over the description and realized digitization had also swallowed up magic like Thunder's Protection and Electrocution.
Fire Calabash's template could spit out thunderbolts from the mouth, but it couldn't command lightning as conveniently as a Thunder Spirit could, and it could even end up being harmed by lightning itself.
Now, under the fusion brought by digitization, that flaw had been made up for.
The changes to fire were fewer by comparison. Its power being linked to blood and vitality was actually in line with how Fire Calabash worked in the original story.
It was probably because there were too few corresponding elements, so digitization couldn't fuse it into anything especially powerful.
Even so, this ability greatly enhanced Ren's control over lightning and fire. At the very least, he could now genuinely brag that he was a deity who commanded thunder.
Meanwhile,
Water Calabash's template and Seventh Calabash Brother's template had fused together.
.
[Sumeru Gourd]
[Type: Mystic Treasure]
[Description: Formed from the fusion of Swallowing Rivers and Flooding Lakes with the Treasure Gourd trait. Its physical form is a pair of earrings.
Once removed, they can enlarge to the size of a palm. Each individual earring contains an internal space capable of storing 100,000 tons of seawater, or elemental substances such as fire and lightning.
At the same time, that internal space has been designated by the Treasure Gourd trait, granting it all abilities belonging to the Treasure Gourd.
However, it will not be destroyed after releasing or refining its contents, and since there are two earrings, it can be activated twice at the same time.]
.
"So it turned into this?"
Ren touched his earrings. In a certain sense, his current appearance was already extremely close to Calabash Golden Steel.
The difference was that he wasn't blond, though both of them had crimson eyes.
Sixth Calabash Brother's template hadn't changed, after all, because Ren had no relevant abilities in that area.
Still,
the term "mystic treasure" left him rather surprised.
It was truly the first time he had seen an item with such strong Eastern flavor—no, rather than calling it an item, he should call it a mystic treasure!
"Not bad, though. At least it gives Water Calabash's Swallowing Rivers and Flooding Lakes a boost.
At the very least, I won't have to open my mouth and spit out seawater every day anymore."
Just thinking about the bitter taste of seawater made Ren frown. He decisively shifted his attention to another aspect of digitization.
An aspect he had never expected—
and which still looked incredibly abrupt even now.
Outfit: Angel of Light Wings + Phantom Wing Flight + Elytra + ...
"??"
"What the hell? Digitization can do this too? How are equipment and abilities getting integrated together?!"
Ren was dumbfounded as he read the description over and over again.
Only then did he truly realize the weight behind that sentence—
"In the digitized state, abilities, talents, and even the body related to the converter will all be digitized and integrated."
Actually, it did make sense.
The Angel of Light Wings outfit was not equipment in the true sense. It was more like a very special kind of enhancement.
Ren found it hard to describe with words, but within digitization, the Angel of Light Wings seemed to be treated as part of him.
Phantom Wing Flight was a technique of Haki martial arts, so that could also be considered part of him.
As for the Elytra, though it was an item, it had also merged into Ren's body.
And what the integration produced was a "result."
.
[Angel of Light Wings]
[Type: Illusory Equipment]
[Description: Formed through digitized integration. Based on the Outfit: Angel of Light Wings, it fuses Phantom Wing Flight and Elytra.
After infusing this equipment with energy, the first pair of wings unfolds, granting a speed of 300 meters per second.
The second pair of wings increases that to 310 meters per second, and the third pair to 320 meters per second.
The speed of all three pairs of wings stacks with one another. When turning, speed decays to 220 meters per second.
The wings also possess the trait of indestructibility. During flight, due to the untouchable and non-interferable state of the Angel of Light Wings,
they are unaffected by air resistance, heat from friction, airflow resistance, and similar factors.]
.
'That description is pretty interesting.'
Ren's expression turned subtle, because it was hard to say exactly how good this fusion was.
Simply put, the faster an object moved, the more air would become resistance.
At this point, the changes brought by the seven-in-one fusion came to an end.
Of course, this was only the digitization of the Calabash Brother templates. The digitization of other aspects seemed to still be continuing.
But that was no longer something he needed to deal with right now.
Ren put away the rice cooker, left the room, and began managing the many complicated affairs at hand.
After a month and a half, the others had gradually come to understand the special nature of the Creator Domain.
Just the Gravity Chamber environment alone was an advantage the outside world could never match.
As mentioned before,
the people of the One Piece world and the people from Ren's previous world were simply not comparable. People in his previous world would train desperately and only end up covered in injuries, but people in the One Piece world could genuinely train themselves into something extraordinary.
That was just how different person-to-person differences could be. I get angry and get even angrier; you get angry and punch through a steel plate.
And without question, the one who had improved the fastest was Zoro!
Among everyone, he was the hardest-working and the cruelest toward himself.
He had even asked Ren to create a spring that could restore him to full condition, all so he could achieve the goal of training twenty-four hours a day without sleep.
If Ren hadn't stopped him and explained that bringing this power back would still require paying in units of consumed time, Zoro probably would have kept himself in a 24/7 grind for an entire year.
But under that brutal training, Zoro's growth rate was also terrifying.
The others were a little behind him, but each had developed in their own way.
Among them, the area where everyone had improved the most broadly was naturally Haki martial arts.
By fusing the Purple Qi Rising from the East method with the Haki system, it had become a foundational ability shared by the entire group.
Those who progressed faster—Vivi, for example—had already completed Purple Qi Foundation, and her use of Haki had also entered a skilled stage.
On top of that foundation, each person had pursued their own unique direction of development.
Crocodile had been awakened. After understanding the situation, he kept teaching Vivi with a sour look on his face.
He made no demands of Ren. He only hoped Ren would keep his promise and let him rest in peace, instead of dragging him back out after death to serve as some undead instructor!
Naturally, reality and illusion couldn't be compared. Under Crocodile's high-pressure teaching, Vivi's progress in unlocking her Devil Fruit powers had been astonishingly fast.
Nojiko, meanwhile, had reached an understanding with Zoro, and the two had become rivals, repeatedly slaughtering each other in cruel and bloody combat.
During that time, Nojiko's mastery over her Pink Dragon form had become increasingly refined.
Ren watched all of this with concern, but he did not interfere with Nojiko's decision.
From the moment Nojiko accepted that Devil Fruit, continuing to treat her like a weakling would only be an insult to that resilient big sister.
Urouge and Cavendish had become opponents as well, tempering themselves through mutual bloodshed.
At Ren's suggestion, the loser would become Zoro's sparring target whenever he had free time, which meant neither of them dared to slack off.
They pushed each other madly, because after seeing the gap between themselves and the strongest, no one wanted to be crushed in a completely one-sided beating.
Robin's development direction, on the other hand, was a little different.
After hearing about Stussy, she decided to do her part for Ren and become a key node in the intelligence network.
As a result, all of her development was focused on intelligence gathering.
Baccarat's progress, meanwhile, had somewhat stalled. The development of the Luck-Luck Fruit was extremely difficult.(End of Chapter)
