"So, what do you think, guys? I'm sure it's not special effects now!"
Andy felt immensely proud after seeing the destruction he had caused with the power of his fruit.
Even though he could only unleash the basic power of the Lightning Fruit, to him, it was already something to be proud of.
After all, to fully unleash the power of a Devil Fruit, one truly needs a physique like the characters in One Piece, who possess monstrous physical strength.
Even ordinary people in the One Piece world can lift loads of several tons.
Even the lowest-ranking marines are far stronger than ordinary people; they can withstand sword slashes, mortar bombings, and various extreme activities.
Let alone powerful characters like Admirals, Yonko Commanders, the Yonko themselves, Holy Knights, the Gorosei, and other top-tier figures who can literally carry tens of millions of tons or even more.
Does that sound exaggerated? Not at all. A character like Garp would need at least tens of millions of tons of kinetic energy to destroy a mountain with his punch.
Moreover, Yonko Kaido would require hundreds of millions or even billions of tons of energy to lift a flying island that far.
Although it seems like this is due to the blessing of his Devil Fruit, in order to draw out its full potential, Kaido would need a body capable of producing and withstanding energy levels in the hundreds of millions of tons.
If such power existed on Earth, the planet would be destroyed in an instant.
Just imagine, with such strength, a single punch could release kinetic energy equivalent to hundreds of megatons or even gigatons of nuclear bombs!
Insane!
With that kind of power, a single punch could stop earthquakes, halt tectonic shifts, or forcibly shift Earth's plates.
Even a character like Yujiro Hanma from Baki, who isn't nearly as strong as the monsters from One Piece, was able to stop an earthquake with just his fist.
So Andy had no reason to pity himself just because he could only unleash a portion of the Lightning Fruit's power. After all, he didn't have a monster's physique.
Of course, he had no intention of telling them just how strong he really was. If he told them he could shift Earth's tectonic plates, within minutes he'd be surrounded by military forces from all over the world.
And the closest? Definitely China. They would be the first to surround and capture him, then dissect him for research.
That's why, even though he had the Lightning Fruit, this was just the beginning, he hadn't even trained or developed it yet. So at this point, he wasn't ready to take on the world with his still-weak power.
At the same time, everyone in the livestream room was dumbfounded, especially after witnessing lightning strike from the sky right after Andy flicked his finger, which truly shocked everyone.
After seeing it, they were convinced it couldn't possibly be special effects, because they saw the tree split in two, with black smoke still rising.
[Shit, shit, that lightning is massive. Boss, is this really real?]
[Oh my God, was what this guy said about the Devil Fruit actually true?]
[This is over the top. I must be dreaming!]
[Damn it, this is clearly not special effects! What kind of effects can split a tree in half?!]
[What about those two guys who said they'd eat their own poop and drink their own piss? Come out, everything this guy said is true, you both have to keep your word now!]
[Yeah, where are those two bastards?? Come out and be men of your word!]
Jason left the livestream room.
Andrew left the livestream room.
Immediately, a notification appeared in the livestream window stating that the two people who said they'd eat their poop and drink their own piss had exited the stream.
Jason left the livestream room without spreading rumors.
Andrew loved life, so he quickly left the stream because he didn't want to eat poop in front of everyone.
[Damn it, those two ran away, damn cowards!]
[Cowards, they're not men!]
[They're chickens!]
[Now's not the time to care about them. The point is, everything this guy said was true... I'm the real clown here!]
[Boss, I want to apologize. I shouted too loudly earlier. I'll call you boss from now on!]
At this moment, the viewers in the livestream room no longer had the slightest doubt about the abilities Andy had shown.
Seeing the flood of comments in the livestream, Andy smiled in satisfaction.
Now it was time to earn more points. So Andy quickly took the opportunity to explain more in detail to the viewers.
"Guys, calm down. What you just saw is only a small portion of the Lightning Fruit's power!"
"The Lightning Fruit doesn't just allow me to manipulate thunder and lightning at will, but also allows me to transform into lightning itself, making me immune to physical attacks."
"In addition to its destructive power and lightning-speed movement, the Lightning Fruit also grants me the ability to teleport."
Hearing the word "Teleportation", the livestream viewers immediately flooded the chat with comments.
[Damn, damn, what did I just hear?? Teleportation??]
[Teleportation... is it the one I'm thinking of ..the kind that lets you appear anywhere instantly?]
Seeing the barrage of questions from netizens, Andy responded.
"Yes, it's the teleportation you're imagining."
"Since I've eaten the Lightning Fruit, if you consider the speed of lightning based on scientific data, I can appear in various parts of the world within minutes or even seconds!"
Upon hearing this direct answer from Andy, the viewers typed comments as fast as lightning itself.
[Holy crap, that really is the teleportation I was thinking of!]
[Unbelievable, truly being able to appear anywhere in the world within minutes or seconds!]
[Cool! That's amazing. Boss, you're so powerful! Doesn't that mean you don't need planes to travel anymore?!]
[Just two words: YOU'RE A GOD!]
Seeing the comment section exploding even more, Andy quickly said:
"Guys, please calm down. I haven't finished explaining yet. There are still many powerful abilities granted by the Lightning Fruit."
[Damn, boss, there's still more??]
[What is it?? Tell us now! Boss, please tell us!]
"Aside from the powers I've already mentioned, the Lightning Fruit also allows the user to heal themselves by stimulating their own body with electric shocks."
"Moreover, changes also occur in the user's body muscle cells provide extraordinary reflexes and physical fitness!"
"Even more amazing, since this is Earth, where electricity is everywhere, I can literally appear anywhere by following electrical grids or electromagnetic pathways."
"And lastly, if trained to the extreme, the range and destructive power become truly terrifying. Simply put, I can alter the climate of an entire country permanently, turning it into a forbidden zone with constant thunderstorms!"
[Damn, that's way too powerful! You're saying it could change a country's climate permanently? That's completely unbeatable!]
[Unbelievable, like a god!]
[What?! Possessing the speed and destructive force of lightning?!]
[But I'm not that educated, so all I understand is: with powers like that, you can travel the world with just a thought!]
[Absolutely outrageous, absolutely outrageous. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believe that something like a Devil Fruit exists in this world!]
[Yeah, and this guy said the Devil Fruit came from the world of One Piece!]
[Right, so it's not from our Earth, but from another world.]
[Wait, what do you mean by another world? Does another world really exist? And what is this One Piece world?]
[Yes, boss...what do you mean by another world? What exactly is the One Piece world like?]
In the barrage of comments flooding the live broadcast, several netizens began asking about the existence of other worlds.
Seeing some people asking the very question that everyone was curious about, other viewers also joined in, echoing the same question.
Witnessing the stream of questions, Andy immediately decided to answer in order to satisfy their curiosity.
"Other worlds do exist, apart from our Earth. Out there in the universe, other worlds truly exist. There are also powerful beings beyond the wildest stretch of your imagination."
"But don't misunderstand. The other worlds I'm referring to aren't located within the same universe that Earth resides in, they belong to entirely different universes."
"Beyond the universe where our Earth exists, in the vast cosmic sea, there are limitless universes. To put it simply, if our universe were just a grain of sand, then the number of other universes would be like the entire desert."
"Of course, that's just a rough analogy to help you understand. In truth, the actual number of universes far exceeds all the grains of sand in the desert."
[Oh my God! Other worlds are really real!]
[Wait a second, where's my medicine? My heart isn't ready to handle knowledge this massive. Damn it!]
[Damn, this is so hard to believe I'm speechless!]
[If the news about other worlds was like a missile, then the knowledge of infinite universes is like a nuclear bomb!]
[This truly shocked my soul!]
[So, we humans aren't the only intelligent beings in the entire universe. I was so foolish to think we were the only sentient lifeforms.]
Seeing how shocked people were over the truth about other worlds and the vastness of the multiverse, Andy didn't know how to respond.
After all, he couldn't simply claim that humans were the most intelligent and perfect beings in the entire cosmos.
If he praised humans too much, even though he himself knew that out there were many beings far stronger and smarter than humans, he would be lying.
Besides, since he had transmigrated, he didn't really feel a connection to the humans in this world. Even though they were the same species, he had no bonds whatsoever with them.
In short, he didn't care about them at all. That's why he didn't say much about the powerful beings that would emerge in the future, beings that would ensure humanity suffered greatly.
To him, it was better for humans to experience trials and suffering so they could rise and grow with their own strength.
If they failed to rise and were wiped out, then humanity didn't deserve to be called the most intelligent species in the cosmos.
But if they managed to rise and continue to evolve, only then would humanity's glory spread across cosmic reality.
Of course, even though he didn't care much about humans in this world, that didn't mean he would allow this world to be destroyed.
After all, there were still many beautiful women in this world who needed to be protected. If in his previous world he had no chance to have those famous beauties, now with his current power, he could gather all types of beauty into his harem.
As the viewers remained stunned in the comment section, Andy couldn't just stay silent. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed a particular comment quickly scroll by among the flood of others.
[Boss, if other worlds and universes really exist like you said, then what is the world of One Piece like?]
Seeing someone ask that, Andy spoke right away.
"Calm down, everyone. One of our friends asked what the world of One Piece is like."
"So, should I explain it? Or should I keep it a secret?" Andy teased the audience, pretending to provoke their curiosity.
The viewers, of course, responded swiftly in the comment section.
[Come on, man, hurry up and tell us what the world of One Piece is like!]
[After hearing about other worlds and universes, I think I now have a faint idea of what the One Piece world might be like!]
[The guy above, what do you know? Your tone is really convincing!]
[Bro, do you really know about the One Piece world? Don't just bluff!]
[In my opinion, One Piece is a world filled with supernatural powers!]
[Damn, I thought it would be something amazing. If that's all, I already knew it, bastard!]
[That guy is just pretending to act smart!]
Seeing the stream of comments, Andy finally said,
"The world of One Piece… In short, it's a vast world, far larger than our Earth. The One Piece world has at least 20 million islands of varying sizes scattered throughout. One of those islands is so massive that it can be compared to the size of Australia."
"That world is filled with individuals who possess terrifying destructive powers. If even one of those characters appeared on Earth, they could destroy a continent with a single punch, even trigger earthquakes and shift tectonic plates."
"Not only that, they have monstrous physical endurance. They can fight for ten days and nights without stopping. In short, Earth wouldn't be able to withstand even a few of their punches."
[Hiss, terrifying!]
[This… I'm mesmerized just hearing about it.]
[What the hell, are they even human? How can a human be that strong?]
[Oh my God! Is this a novel story I'm hearing?]
[To easily destroy continents and trigger earthquakes… that's horrifying!]
[If even one of them came to Earth, would it be the apocalypse?]
[Yeah, with that kind of power, not even a nuclear bomb could stop them.]
[They're insanely strong… Is it the Devil Fruits that make them so powerful?]
[The guy above is right, Boss, please tell us more about the Devil Fruits. Are they strong because of the Devil Fruits? Is there only one Devil Fruit?]
As the comment barrage continued, the viewers were now eager to hear more about the Devil Fruits from Andy. He was quite pleased to see the audience's reaction in the live stream, so he continued.
"No, they're not powerful just because of the Devil Fruits. In the world of One Piece, there are many power systems, and the Devil Fruit is only one of them."
"And of course, there's more than just one Devil Fruit. Now, let me share some basic information about Devil Fruits."
"First of all, Devil Fruits originate from the world of One Piece. There are many of them. Each one is unique. Regardless of the type, a person can only eat one Devil Fruit. Unless you have a special body, if you eat two, you'll die!"
"These fruits are manifestations of demons, so eating one is equivalent to having a demon inside you. Just one demon is already a burden on the body, so imagine having two. The body would collapse under the strain."
"Devil Fruits are divided into three main categories: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan. Each type grants a very different ability to the user!"
"The Lightning Fruit I ate is a Logia-type Devil Fruit. It is also one of the strongest Logia Fruits in the One Piece world!"
"Since I ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit, I will now only explain the Logia type."
"Logia-type Devil Fruits are among the rarest and most powerful, second only to Mythical Zoan Fruits. Someone with Logia powers gains elementalization, they can turn their body into a natural element at will, as well as create and control massive amounts of that element."
"For example, I can turn my body into lightning, making me immune to physical attacks. Without special means, no matter if my leg is cut off or even my head is severed, the Logia ability allows me to regenerate automatically."
"That's all for now… As for the other types of Devil Fruits, I'll explain them once I find them or if someone else happens to discover one." Andy gave a brief explanation of Devil Fruits to the viewers.
The live stream chat, already loud and crowded, now exploded after Andy's explanation.
[Oh my God, damn it, so there's not just one Devil Fruit!]
[Even though I haven't heard about the other types yet, it seems like Logia is the strongest. And being able to become an element? You'd be invincible in this world!]
[I feel the same! I want to eat a Logia Devil Fruit too. That would be so cool!]
[Logia… an elemental user. Damn, I want to find a Fire Logia Fruit. If I could transform into fire and control it, that would be amazing!]
[You bastard above, wake up! You're daydreaming in broad daylight!]
[Even though the host hasn't explained the other types yet, what I understand is that Logia is super rare. So I don't have high hopes, just give me a Zoan Fruit!]
[You above, look at yourself being so desperate!]
[Still, the host found a Logia Devil Fruit just by walking around. So I'm going to go out and walk around too…]
[Lazy people are still thinking, but the hardworking ones are already on their way!]
[Damn, bro, wait for me! I'm going out to look for a pile of rotten fruit too!]
Seeing the craziness in the live stream, Andy could only shake his head.
Just as he was about to say something, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully popularizing scientific knowledge!"
"Reward acquired: Whitebeard's Prime Physique!"
"Huh? Whitebeard's Prime Physique??" Andy was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!
Whitebeard's physique during his prime was undoubtedly considered one of the strongest in the entire pirate world.
With a body that strong, combined with his Devil Fruit, Gura Gura no Mi, he possessed terrifying destructive power in the world of pirates.
Unbeknownst to the viewers, Andy's body began to undergo massive changes. Underneath his shirt, his previously slim body was transforming, becoming muscular but not excessively so.
Andy could feel the change in his body, and as he clenched his fists, he felt as though he could destroy the world using just his physical strength.
So powerful!
"This feeling… So strong! Is this really Whitebeard's prime physique?"
By inheriting Whitebeard's physique, Andy can now truly unleash the full potential of his Lightning Fruit. Although he has not trained any abilities, at least with his current physical strength, the destructive power of his random attacks must be very terrifying.
If before he was still afraid of fighting the whole world, then now he is not afraid of the whole world!
After basking in his newfound power, Andy came back to his senses.
"Everyone, let's continue searching for the next treasure!"
"Huh? Something's wrong, this is…" Just as Andy was about to set out in search of the next treasure…
Even though he didn't have Haki, with the inherited physique of Whitebeard, he also inherited Whitebeard's sharp instincts and perception.
A green anaconda over twenty meters long appeared at a zoo not far from his location.
And the moment Andy saw the anaconda appear, information about it popped up in his mind from the system.
