The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Age-Age Fruit, Future 'Self'?



"Wohoho…"

In mid-air, a towering figure—nearly 6.8 meters tall and similar in stature to Willie—was soaring with wings.

What was surprising was that this youth not only shared the same ash-white hair, flaming halo, and wings as Thor, Sif, Eden, and Willie, but also had a third eye on his forehead.

With a handsome and resolute face, his features carried hints of both El and Lillian. Combined with his tall stature, he exuded an innate sense of authority.

"Dal, stop flying around!"

Lillian glared at her son, who had been enlarged by Eden's replicated Age-Age Fruit powers, and scolded him: "Get down right now, or I'll have Eden turn you into a little old man!"

Thankfully, Dal still wore a Sea Stone bracelet. Without it, he would likely have escaped. With his Transfer-Transfer Fruit, a power that seemed like a combination of the Swap-Swap and Teleport-Teleport Fruits, it was nearly impossible to pin him down.

"Mamamamama~! Medusa is still the most well-behaved of them all!"

Linlin, her pregnant belly prominently visible, chuckled as she glanced lovingly at the group.

Standing beside her was a tall, stunningly beautiful woman—over 6 meters in height—with flowing hair styled in an elegant hime cut. She wore a luxurious blue-and-white cheongsam that accentuated her figure. Her graceful curves and regal aura were mesmerizing, making it almost impossible to look away.

What was curious was that while Linlin cherished all her children dearly, her favorite was none other than Little Medusa, the child of Gloriosa—a woman Linlin rarely interacted with.

No one found this surprising. Even Linlin's closest friend, Gerd, sometimes couldn't resist Medusa's charm, often wishing she could cuddle the little girl to sleep.

Thus, even though Gloriosa, the Empress of Amazon Lily, stayed only four or five days before returning to her homeland, Little Medusa remained in Totto Land.

"Papa…"

Little Medusa ran to El, spinning around excitedly to show herself off.

"My Medusa-chan has indeed grown into a breathtaking beauty!"

Although El had already seen her adult form, he couldn't help but marvel at her grace anew. With a bright smile, he gave her a thumbs-up, showering her with praise.

There was no doubt that when she fully matured, she would be the most beautiful woman in the world. It wasn't that his other daughters weren't attractive—Sif had a vibrant, youthful charm, and Eden's mischievous liveliness made her enchanting in her own way. But Medusa's regal elegance and magnetic presence set her apart. Her beauty wasn't just physical; it was in her aura—a majesty that overwhelmed all others.

Perhaps it was the influence of the Love-Love Fruit, or maybe it was her upbringing on Amazon Lily.

"Hoho, Medusa's transformation is all thanks to me!"

Eden stood tall, hands on her hips, proudly proclaiming her contribution.

"Yes, yes, Eden. I know it's all because of you," Medusa replied with a soft smile, her warmth melting away her usual aloofness.

"Hmmph, I feel full of strength!"

A booming voice came from Frey, the seventh child. His towering figure stood at an astonishing 25 meters, making him the tallest among the Kukulkan family. His heavily muscled physique radiated raw power, making him appear almost beast-like.

"You can say that again. The Age-Age Fruit's ability is truly remarkable…" The tall and graceful Cloud Giant, Helen, chuckled softly. "After growing up, these kids' auras are astounding, as if their strength has grown even more!"

Just Frey alone, with his inherited Giant lineage, could probably lift seasoned Giant warriors with a single hand.

"Mamamamama~ Of course, they're essentially adults now…" Linlin remarked with a smile. "With their natural talents, even if they haven't trained much, it's impossible for their strength to remain stagnant!"

"Hoho, but that's not all!"

Eden raised her chin proudly, crossing her arms as her aura shifted dramatically. She declared with conviction, "Twisting the future… into a future where I'm as invincible as Papa!"

At that moment, Eden's height didn't change much, but something inexplicable happened. Looking down on everyone present, her presence became overwhelming and unmatched.

"Hmm?"

Linlin, Gerd, and the others raised their brows. They suddenly felt Eden's aura shift dramatically, as if she had transformed into an ancient beast. For a moment, it felt like they were standing before El himself. Although her aura wasn't nearly as powerful, the sensation was uncanny, like a shadow of El's presence.

"Did she mimic El-sama?" Lillian's third eye glowed faintly, and her pupils constricted as she gasped. "She can do that?"

"This girl…" El, somewhat familiar with the Age-Age Fruit's potential, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Frey, don't resist!" Eden exclaimed, skipping forward playfully. Under everyone's astonished gaze, she grabbed the 25-meter-tall Frey with one hand and effortlessly tossed him into the air.

"Eden, when did you get so strong?" Frey was stunned. He remembered Eden being able to lift him, but never this easily—and that was before he had adopted his current adult form, becoming so much larger.

"Hoho, there's more!"

Eden flashed a mischievous grin, set Frey down, and turned to Lillian. "Aunt Lillian, can I borrow your sword for a moment?"

"Here." Already having glimpsed a potential outcome with her third eye, Lillian drew the Supreme Grade Sword, Casanar, and handed it to Eden without hesitation.

"An invincible future, like Daddy's?"

"Mamamama~ Could it be…?" Linlin, Sally, Gerd, and the others exchanged knowing glances as Eden spoke confidently.

In full view of everyone, Eden took the legendary Supreme Grade Sword—a weapon that appeared merely like a dagger in her colossal hands—and stabbed it directly into her own shoulder.

"Clang!"

The piercing sound of steel on steel echoed through the air. Despite the unimaginable sharpness of the Supreme Grade Sword, it couldn't break Eden's defense. Her skin wasn't even scratched.

"Wow, no blood at all!" Eden's face lit up with joy as she examined her untouched shoulder.

"Daddy wasn't lying. This really is the power of 'wish fulfillment!'"

She cheerfully returned the ornate sword to Lillian.

"Immune to blades and bullets?"

"She's become just like Thor and Sif?" Sally, Linlin, Gerd, and the others were dumbfounded.

Eden's natural physique, though far stronger than the average giant, couldn't normally compare to Thor and Sif's monstrous bodies—directly inherited from El's unyielding, steel-like constitution. Yet somehow, Eden's transformation had achieved the same remarkable durability.

"Can the Age-Age Fruit really do this?" Gerd asked, clearly astonished. She was well aware of the limitations of the Copy-Copy Fruit. While it could replicate abilities, it couldn't duplicate a target's physical attributes or combat techniques. The fact that Eden, Thor, Sif, and the others remained in their adult forms proved that the Age-Age Fruit's effects hadn't worn off.

"This is one of the true powers of the Age-Age Fruit…" El wasn't surprised. Smiling, he explained, "As long as someone has a vivid imagination and unwavering belief in something, the fruit can manifest unimaginable power, enabling them to 'become' different versions of their future selves. And the more resolute their belief, the stronger the power becomes."

"Mamamamama~ So that's how it works…" Linlin, Helen, Lillian, and the others nodded in realization. At first, they had assumed the Age-Age Fruit merely controlled age—allowing users to manipulate their own or others' ages. But now they realized the fruit hid far more extraordinary abilities.

"Wait… El-sama, are you saying…" Sally's mind raced as she made the connection. She hesitated, then said incredulously, "Are you saying that as long as someone envisions a future, they can actually become that version of themselves? Like… literally 'wish fulfillment?'"

After all, Eden had just imagined herself as an invincible version of El—and suddenly gained his indomitable, steel-like body. Was such an ability even possible?

"Of course, it's not without limitations," El said with a laugh. "As people age, their experiences grow, and their understanding of the world becomes more grounded in reality. Concepts like 'gods' or 'invincibility' are no longer wholeheartedly believed as they were in childhood. No matter how much someone claims to believe, deep down, there will always be a hint of doubt."

"And that doubt weakens the power they can manifest," El concluded. "The resulting effects will naturally be less impressive."
