Chapter 778: Dice-Dice Devil Fruit—

——Kage List, 9th place, Jiraiya; congratulations on getting Paramecia Devil Fruit "Dice-Dice Fruit"

- Using yourself, any part of your body can be turned into a hard sword.

On the golden list, the pictures that originally belonged to Namikaze Minato quickly disappeared.

Instead, there is a picture of Jiraiya who has come to the Konoha Village open space.

Like Minato, a strangely shaped fruit with a spiral pattern appeared in front of him out of thin air.

"Is this Dice-Dice Devil Fruit, it looks so weird."

Jiraiya caught the fruit, touched his chin, and looked at the Dice-Dice Fruit in front of him with curiosity.

Then, he looked at Tsunade beside him

"Tsunade, why don't you eat this thing?"

Tsunade, like Jiraiya, left the Hokage building because she disliked the atmosphere in the Hokage Building.

"This is what you won, and I'm not interested."

Tsunade waved her hand with disgust on her face.

The power of Dice-Dice Fruit has already been demonstrated.

But it wasn't enough to interest Tsunade.

On the contrary, Orochimaru who was watching the two is quite interested in the Devil Fruit in Jiraiya's hands.

[Orochimaru: Hehe, Jiraiya, since you don't want it, why don't you give me that Devil Fruit? Maybe I can find a way to replicate it. ]

Orochimaru is not just talking about it, after research, he has almost successfully copied the First Hokage's Wood Style.

Although this sacrificed the lives of many children as experimental subjects.

But this did not prevent him from having the confidence to thoroughly study the Devil Fruit.

Inside the manor, Rifan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw Orochimaru's message.

"Orochimaru, this guy might actually be able to re-create a Devil Fruit."

Rifan murmured in a low voice.

Caesar in the pirate world can research the artificial Devil Fruit, and Orochimaru is the top scientist in the world.

Rifan thinks he has a high probability of developing the Devil Fruit.

His words were heard by Maki, who ate the transparent devil fruit, and she looked over in surprise.

"Teacher Rifan, are you telling the truth? That guy Orochimaru can actually research Devil Fruit?"

"Perhaps, but even if it can be researched, it will only be researched on artificial Devil Fruit, its ability will be much weaker, and there will be drawbacks."

Rifan laughed.

"Actually, I can also create an artificial Devil Fruit with my own abilities."

"But that thing really doesn't have much use, so I didn't set up a research lab to make it."

Hearing Rifan's words, Maki couldn't help looking at Rifan with a glimmer in her eyes. 

She was amazed that Rifan was able to create such a powerful fruit! 

At the same time, the message area above the golden list.

Jiraiya also lost interest in continuing to argue with Orochimaru. 

After saying a few words to Orochimaru, he looked away from the Golden List and looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand.

"Hmph, Orochimaru you can't fool me."

"The golden list has said it before, you can gain power after taking a bite of this thing, and others will not gain power even if you eat it again."

"So it's better to eat it myself."

Jiraiya muttered to himself and opened his mouth to bite on the Devil Fruit.

The appearance of the golden list, as well as Rifan and his disciples, gave Jiraiya a strong sense of urgency.

This sense of urgency forced Jiraiya to develop the idea of increasing his strength.

Prompted by this thought, he couldn't possibly give the Devil Fruit to someone other than Tsunade.

"Uh, it's so disgusting!"

The Devil Fruit melted in Jiraiya's mouth, turned into a fluid, and flowed directly into Jiraiya's stomach.

He stuck out his tongue, and his whole face darkened.

"Is it so bad?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

"I've never eaten anything nastier than this, and it tastes so much more 'advanced' than chewy wax."

"The food on Mount Myōboku is much better than this fruit. Bleeh!"

Jiraiya shook his head and handed the rest of the fruit to Tsunade:

"If you have time, you can research this thing."

"Although the golden list said that after the first person took a bite, the rest were useless."

"But in the end, it's safe to do research on your own."

Tsunade had the same idea about Jiraiya's words.

She nodded, took the fruit, and sealed it in the scroll.

"By the way, can you show off your power, Jiraiya?"

After sealing the fruit, Tsunade's gaze toward Jiraiya was filled with curiosity.
