Chương 101: Can Immortality Bypass the One-Fruit Rule?

Once Rosh had finished his tasks, he opened the group chat and posted a new announcement. Shopkeeper: " @Everyone, Devil Fruit transactions will no longer accept USD, effective immediately. All purchases must now be made in gold. Please be advised." Shopkeeper: "Additionally, a new batch of Devil Fruits has been added to the store. Returning customers are welcome, and referrals to friends and family are highly encouraged."

These two messages instantly turned the previously quiet chat group into a lively hub of activity. Wade Wilson: "New Devil Fruits in stock? That's exciting! But it's such a pity, isn't it? We can only eat one. No matter how amazing the new fruits are, they're off-limits for me." Wade Wilson: "Wait a second, Boss! I just thought of something crazy. You said eating a second Devil Fruit makes you explode, right? But what if the person who explodes can, you know… come back to life?

Couldn't they eat more than one fruit then?" Exploding? Pfft, like that, would stop me. Been there, done that. Remember when I got blown to smithereens? Good times! -Your Lovable and Handsome Merc with a Mouth <3 ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Rosh found himself momentarily speechless at Deadpool's question. It wasn't entirely out of the field—Wade had indeed hit on a thought-provoking idea. Normally, eating multiple Devil Fruits would cause a fatal internal conflict, but what about someone who could survive death itself?

Shopkeeper: "Wade, I've already explained the consequences of eating multiple Devil Fruits. Anything beyond that is for you to decide." Michael Morbius: "That's absurd. No one can come back from an explosion like that. Wade, your question doesn't make any sense." Michael Morbius: "On another note, Shopkeeper, this new batch of fruits is perfectly timed. I was planning to revisit your store soon with a friend. While switching to gold is inconvenient, it's not a dealbreaker."

Shopkeeper: " @Michael Morbius, you're always welcome. I trust the fruits will meet your expectations." Hope van Dyne: "Boss, I have a question. Are there any fruits in stock that can help track someone?" Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Vanessa Carlysle: "Track someone? That's… an unusual request, Hope." Wade Wilson: "Hope, who are you trying to track? Is this one of those cheesy romance plots where the girl chases the guy? Tell me it's not that!"

Vanessa Carlysle: "Wade!" Wade Wilson: "Just kidding! Can't anyone here take a joke? Seriously, making myself laugh is a one-man job in this group. I'm killing it, and all I hear is crickets!" Shopkeeper: " @Hope van Dyne, your question is too vague for me to provide a precise answer." Rosh had an inkling of Hope's intentions. She likely wanted to enter the Quantum Realm and find her mother. However, it wouldn't do for him to reveal her intent so openly.

If he guessed her goal without her saying a word, it might unsettle the group and make them wary of him. Hope van Dyne: "My apologies, Boss. I'll message you privately!" After wrapping up his interaction with the group, Rosh exited the chat. As expected, Hope wasted no time and privately messaged him. Hope van Dyne: "Boss, I couldn't explain in the group chat, but here's the situation: there's someone incredibly important to me.

I've been out of contact with her for nearly twenty years, and I don't even know if she's alive. Hope van Dyne: "I need to know if there's a Devil Fruit that can help me find her." Hope laid out her request in detail. It was just as Rosh had guessed—she wanted to find her mother, Janet van Dyne.

"Hope you're in luck," Rosh replied after a moment's thought.

"Previously, there wasn't a fruit in stock that could meet your needs. However, in the latest batch of additions, there's one that's perfect for this."

"Really, Boss? That's amazing!" Hope's excitement practically radiated through the screen. Hope van Dyne: "What fruit is it?"

"It's called the Chase-Chase Fruit," Rosh explained.

"The user gains the ability to track targets with precision. After marking a target, you'll be able to locate their position without fail." ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Sitting in the office of Pym Technologies, Hope's breath quickened. The fruit sounded like the miracle she'd been waiting for—exactly what she needed to find her mother.

"Boss, can you tell me more about the Chase-Chase Fruit?" Hope asked, trying to steady her emotions.

"Of course," Rosh replied.

"There are two key points to keep in mind."

"First, you must mark your target. This is crucial—if a target isn't marked, they can't be tracked. Marking is simple: you just need something the target has interacted with, such as an object they've used, their hair, clothing, or any other item linked to them." Hope felt a surge of relief. She already had everything she needed to mark her mother. Janet's old room remained untouched and meticulously maintained by her father. Every corner was filled with mementos of her mother's life.

"And the second point?" Hope pressed.

"The second point is that tracking consumes a significant amount of the user's mental energy. It can't be sustained for extended periods. How long you can maintain the tracking depends on how well you develop the fruit's powers," Rosh explained. Hope nodded in understanding. The Chase-Chase Fruit was the perfect solution for their quest to find Janet van Dyne. The only challenge was that she and Hank had already eaten Devil Fruits.

They would need to find someone trustworthy to consume the Chase-Chase Fruit and help with their mission. The challenge ahead was clear, but Hope's hope had been reignited. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Next Chapter: The Mastermind is a Dead Man Next Next Chapter: Quick, Call Shaun Lee for help!
