In fact, Esdeath is not only able to sink islands, but functionally, she can crush opponents of the same level with the same destructive power.
To a certain extent, Esdeath's Mahapadma is barely invincible at the same level.
The reason why it is said to be barely invincible is that in essence, Mahapadma does not really involve the concept of time and space, but only achieves an approximate effect.
Otherwise, given the priority of time and space abilities, Esdeath's strength assessment would have to be raised by several levels.
But even so, Esdeath's strength is already very strong.
If you are not immune to Mahapadma and can be defeated by her, basically anyone who faces her will be killed as long as Esdeath wants to.
Instantly freezing, and then directly hacking the enemy to death when they are unable to resist, is a very buggy ability.
"This is how Blackbeard gains power by plundering fruits..."
After sighing with emotion at Esdeath's strength, Takumi looked at the separate parts of the report.
On it was written the method of plundering the Devil Fruit ability obtained from the mind of Blackbeard Teach.
But after taking a look at it, Takumi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye and complain, "This is really simple and crude..."
There was actually nothing magical about Teach's method; it was just taking advantage of the Devil Fruit's rebirth properties and cutting off the line before the fruit regenerated elsewhere.
The specific method of operation was to block an area so that the essence of the Devil Fruit could not escape, forcing the fruit's essence to choose to attach to a fruit in the blocked area.
This operation had no technical content at all. Anyone who understood the settings of Devil Fruits in the One Piece world could imagine it.
The only difficulty was to seal the source of the fruit.
There was almost no one in the world of One Piece who could do this, and from the currently known information, only the Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit) could do it.
Otherwise, the Marines or the World Government would have pulled out all the big pirates in Impel Down, executed them, and recovered their Devil Fruits, instead of wasting manpower and material resources on imprisoning them.
It was precisely because of this that Blackbeard Teach was so obsessed with getting the Dark-Dark Fruit first.
As for the black cloth that Teach used when plundering Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit) that appeared in the original work...
This thing was actually just a concealment tool, used to block sight and attach the Dark-Dark Fruit ability. It was just an ordinary piece of cloth, and there was nothing magical about it.
After all, if this piece of black cloth really had such magical functions, with Teach's ambition, he should have found other ways to kill Whitebeard and plunder the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, instead of lurking for more than twenty years for the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Compared to lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates and waiting for luck, plundering the Shock Fruit, becoming the new Yonko, and then using the power of his subordinates to find the Dark-Dark Fruit—wouldn't that be faster and safer?
Obviously, it was precisely because he did not have the ability to plunder fruits before that Blackbeard Teach had to endure and lurk for so long.
"But that's fine; it's more convenient if you want to replicate this operation."
Takumi didn't care whether the method was difficult or simple, as long as it was practical.
And since the method was so simple and crude, it would be easier for Takumi to copy this method of plundering fruits.
"Is it possible to seal the origin of the fruit... is it possible to use Seastone?"
When it came to restraining Devil Fruits, Seastone could be said to be the first option.
Takumi took out a Seastone shackle that he acquired from Robin yesterday and began to analyze it with magic.
"Emmm... useful, but not very effective."
Takumi, after analyzing the Seastone, came to this conclusion.
The Seastone could also seal the origin of the Devil Fruit. After all, it could seal the fruit's ability.
But this only affected the fruit's ability users. If you wanted it to have an effect on the original source of the fruit, it wasn't enough.
"However, if there are enough stacks, it is not impossible, but it will be more troublesome to operate."
The power of a single Seastone was not enough, but a large number of Seastones could achieve the power required to block the origin of the Devil Fruit. The only problem was that to achieve the power of blocking the origin of the fruit, the amount of Seastone required would be massive.
Well, it was almost like building a fortress with Seastone that could withstand nuclear attacks. The walls would have to be at least tens of meters thick.
And it needed to be surrounded by Seastone in all directions, 360 degrees with no dead ends. A small room in the middle could then seal the origin of the fruit.
It wasn't that Takumi couldn't build such a fortress; he could even build it easily.
But the problem was that even if it were built, this kind of fortress would be inconvenient to use.
Even the way in and out could be solved with teleportation magic, but it would still be very troublesome...
After all, every time you needed to plunder a Devil Fruit, you would need to capture the ability user first and then bring them to the fortress for execution.
This was not only troublesome but also inefficient, which was not the result Takumi wanted.
What he wanted was the kind of ability the Dark-Dark Fruit offered that could be used at any time.
It could even be a one-click method that omitted various steps in the process, directly killing and plundering on the spot in one step, or it could simply be a constant and convenient form like a passive effect.
So...
"Compared with physical objects, it would be more convenient to use magic. The characteristics of Seastone can be integrated into a barrier, and the barrier can be activated directly when needed."
"You can even inject this kind of enchantment into a magic item and activate it permanently. You don't have to worry about it anymore. You can just check the results after killing the enemy."
Takumi thought for a while, and the direction for improving Devil Fruit plundering was determined. Operation began immediately.
Magic creation started!
The properties of Seastone were reproduced by magic!
A magic specifically targeted at Devil Fruits was created.
Then, this magic was mixed into a barrier, and after some adjustments, a barrier that sealed the origin of the Devil Fruit was obtained.
Finally, this new barrier was burned into a magic item.
"It's done!"
Takumi looked at a bracelet in his hand and played with it with satisfaction.
This Devil Fruit looting item had an effective range of 0.35 kilometers. You didn't need to worry about it during ordinary times; you just needed to carry it with you.
Once someone with Devil Fruit abilities died within this range, the blockade area would quickly shrink within a second, forcing the origin of the Devil Fruit into the bracelet.
Inside the bracelet, there was a small space containing some ordinary fruits for the Devil Fruit origin to attach to and be reborn.
When the Devil Fruit's origin attached and was reborn, the blockade range would be expanded again.
"Not only does it not need to be taken care of, it can also be used repeatedly. It can also be used as a carry-on backpack. The fruits stored in it can be taken out and enjoyed at any time."
"Whether it's Esdeath or the other girls, they should all like this."
After all, this was not only a tool for their work but also a benefit for them. After getting it, they would have the freedom to harvest fruits at will.
