Devil Fruit!
Bai Ye felt his blood boil instantly.
The Mera Mera no Mi was definitely one of Bai Ye's trump cards at the moment.
How did it come about?
After drawing it from the gacha machine, it became a permanent ability due to a bug, and the Mera Mera no Mi was only red quality.
The Goro Goro no Mi was directly gold quality!
As long as he ate the Goro Goro no Mi, and since the Goro Goro no Mi disappeared, the gacha machine couldn't take it back, thus becoming a permanent ability, the principle was the same as the Mera Mera no Mi!
Gold quality ability...
This was a gold quality ability!
It was obvious that the Goro Goro no Mi was much stronger than the Mera Mera no Mi.
However...
The prestige of gold quality was a problem, or rather, the Goro Goro no Mi had a tricky aspect.
Its weakness was self-evident, like the Mera Mera no Mi, it feared seawater and something called Seastone.
Secondly...
Proficiency!
The Mera Mera no Mi didn't have this, but the Goro Goro no Mi did. It could be understood as the prestige of gold quality, or it could be understood as a drawback.
But from another perspective, this further represented the terror of the Goro Goro no Mi.
Without proficiency, relying only on one move of teleportation and one move of lightning, the Goro Goro no Mi could achieve gold quality, directly crushing the Mera Mera no Mi!
So, what if the proficiency was maxed out?
Thinking this way, Bai Ye felt that the Goro Goro no Mi might be more than just a gold quality ability.
Because, Bai Ye had actually seen gold quality Devil Fruits before.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had obtained a Devil Fruit called the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, which was also a gold quality Devil Fruit.
After eating that, there was no so-called proficiency, and the ability was directly mastered, with the effect being the moves that the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi could use.
Therefore, based on Bai Ye's experience, it could be inferred!
The Goro Goro no Mi was likely...
A super quality Devil Fruit!
Like mechs that needed to collect parts to be manufactured, or supreme martial arts, Taoist techniques, and sword arts that were combined from several incomplete scrolls.
It's just that for the Goro Goro no Mi to reach super quality, it required continuous use to improve proficiency.
Before the proficiency was improved, the current Goro Goro no Mi, like the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi Bai Ye had seen in his previous life, was just ordinary gold quality.
However...
The future was promising!
Thinking this way, Bai Ye became even more excited. If Kamado Tanjiro were a woman, Bai Ye would have unhesitatingly rushed up and given her a big kiss.
A lucky star!
This was definitely his great lucky star!
So, what was there to hesitate about?
Bai Ye picked up the Goro Goro no Mi and stuffed it into his mouth, taking a big bite, and then...
Bai Ye felt like crying, with a constipated expression on his face.
It was so hard to eat!
The Mera Mera no Mi wasn't delicious either. It tasted like drinking toxic liquid, with a strange flavor, but it was bearable.
As for the Goro Goro no Mi, the moment it entered his mouth, Bai Ye couldn't describe the taste. He could only say it was more unpalatable than unpalatable, so unpalatable that it was indescribable.
At the same time, his mouth felt numb, as if he had eaten dozens of packets of popping candy.
Was this the characteristic of Devil Fruits?
The better the Devil Fruit, the harder it was to eat?
Thinking this way, Bai Ye actually wished the Goro Goro no Mi was even more unpalatable.
Bai Ye thought as he forced himself to swallow the Goro Goro no Mi, enduring the urge to spit it out. The juice was too disgusting, Bai Ye chewed it a couple of times and swallowed it directly.
At that moment, Bai Ye felt a warm current surge in his stomach.
Then...
Bai Ye looked at his arm.
The arm was constantly becoming illusory, crackling with electricity. As the degree of illusion increased, the current became more intense, and the scattered arcs of electricity became denser.
Bai Ye frowned, then said to Kamado Tanjiro, "Cut me."
"Huh?"
Kamado Tanjiro let out a doubtful cry of surprise.
Bai Ye said, "It's okay, just cut me. I won't be hurt."
Kamado Tanjiro hesitated and said, "Then I'm coming?"
Bai Ye nodded.
Kamado Tanjiro drew his Nichirin Blade, made an apologetic expression to Bai Ye, and then raised his sword to cut Bai Ye's arm, not his body!
The next moment, the Nichirin Blade directly passed through Bai Ye's arm.
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Ye raised his arm and looked at where Kamado Tanjiro had cut him. His forearm was completely severed, but it didn't look like it was severed.
To be precise, the place that was cut had turned into electricity. There was a wound, but no blood, and flashing currents connected Bai Ye's arm.
Then...
Soon, Bai Ye's arm returned to normal, as if it had not been attacked.
"Is this what elementalization means?"
Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
He suddenly understood the meaning of "Logia" and "elementalization."
At the same time, Bai Ye also understood why the Goro Goro no Mi was gold quality, and even why it could improve proficiency and become a super quality ability.
This ability could actually turn his body into electricity!
Setting aside everything else, with this ability alone, the Goro Goro no Mi could reach the level of gold quality!
Physical attacks were completely nullified, and a portion of non-physical attacks could also be immune!
Too strong!
The Mera Mera no Mi and the Goro Goro no Mi were completely on different levels.
Of course, they were not on the same level to begin with.
Even without considering that the Goro Goro no Mi could continue to improve, one was red quality, and the other was gold quality.
Bai Ye instantly felt like crying.
Metaphysics...
Could still save the unlucky!
Kamado Tanjiro looked at Bai Ye's expression, which shifted between wanting to cry and wanting to laugh, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Bai Ye, are you alright?"
He looked like a lunatic!
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Bai Ye grabbed Kamado Tanjiro's hand and said, "From now on, you're my brother. If you need anything, just ask me. Whether it's going through fire or water, if anyone dares to say half a word to you, even if it's the Nine Hashira of your Demon Slayer Corps, I'll cut them down."
Kamado Tanjiro was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Bai Ye, you can't joke about that."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't cut them," Bai Ye patted Kamado Tanjiro's shoulder and said, "I was just kidding. Let's go, let's continue our journey!"
Bai Ye put away the gacha machine and walked to the front, humming a tune. He felt his legs no longer sore, his back no longer aching, and he felt refreshed.
From now on, when drawing from the gacha machine, he must find some natives to help him draw.
Well...
Someone like Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was unlucky, could be excluded.
Kamado Tanjiro and the other two looked at each other, not understanding what had suddenly happened to Bai Ye, how a normal person had gone mad.
But seeing Bai Ye walking away humming a tune, the three could only quickly follow him.
Continuing their journey, Bai Ye fed the Yukihira Blade to the Steel Slime for it to devour, and then used synthesis to combine weapons. He was quite lucky, succeeding twice. Including the Yukihira Blade, the weapons in the Gate of Babylon were increased to 22.
At the same time, when Bai Ye was done, the three finally arrived at the small town in the neutral zone.
