Kong Tai looked at Bada and took off the wine gourd from his waist.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp!"
He raised it and drank a few mouthfuls.
"Hoo~"
If there's a story, it needs some drink to go with it.
Bada sat down, and his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance as he looked at Kong Tai's wine gourd.
No wonder Kong Tai asked about "Bas Wine" as soon as he arrived. He's a drunkard!
Drunkards are good!
This way, he would have more confidence in asking Kong Tai and the others for help.
He cleared his throat and spoke softly, "I am a 'Forgot Person' who has eaten the 'Forget-Forget Fruit', which allows me to be completely forgotten by the world."
"Then how did you turn into another person?"
A Tao took a deep drag from his cigarette, held it between his fingers, flicked off the ash, and blew out a smoke ring.
Through the smoke ring, he squinted his eyes and asked Bada, "And this person is completely different from you, even their height is different."
"This isn't a transformation ability!"
"This is entirely another person."
He was no longer someone who knew nothing about Devil Fruits.
Although Devil Fruit users, when developed properly, could basically possess several abilities, these abilities had a traceable hierarchical relationship, not two completely different powers.
Clearly, Bada's ability to turn into another person could be considered another type of ability.
Bada clasped his hands on the table, his brow furrowed.
"I don't know either. After eating the fruit's ability, I could erase my existence, and then I turned into the external Bada."
He paused, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he continued, "You can think of me as a person shrouded in an illusion. This illusion is like armor, hiding my true self inside, making me completely disappear from this world."
"Illusion?"
Kong Tai stared at Bada, his gaze sharpening. "So you can turn into other things too."
If it's an illusion, it can't be limited to just human forms!
"Yes."
Bada looked at Kong Tai and nodded. "I use my ability on myself, and not only can I turn into another person, but I can also turn into toys, these kinds of human-like objects."
"It can only be human-shaped things, though. Other things are not possible."
"That's too amazing!"
Ah Hua stared at Bada, his eyes shining.
"Use it on yourself."
"Toys."
Kong Tai stroked his chin and thought, his expression gradually becoming serious.
He looked up at Bada and asked, "So you can use your ability on others as well."
This ability reminded him of someone from Doflamingo's family, the user of the Hobi Hobi no Mi, Sugar.
This was a very dangerous and evil Devil Fruit user!
"Yes!"
Bada looked at Kong Tai and nodded. He paused, then said, "Although I haven't used my ability on others yet, I know for sure that I can use it on others."
"If you can use it on others, then your Devil Fruit ability is too dangerous."
Kong Tai took a sip of wine. "Are there any limitations?"
"How could there be no limitations!"
Bada looked at Kong Tai and suddenly laughed. "Hahaha! Boss, you don't think this thing can be used without limits, do you?"
"If it could be used without limits, wouldn't I be invincible?"
"Oh..."
Kong Tai leaned back in his chair, looking at Bada, and asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
"First, I need to come into contact with the other person to activate the ability."
"Another requirement is that the target's Armament Haki cannot be too strong. If it's too strong, I won't be able to activate the ability."
"The most important one is that they can't be too far away from me. If they are too far, the ability automatically cancels."
"Oh! Is that so?"
Kong Tai's furrowed brow relaxed.
This guy's ability seemed powerful, but for strong individuals, it was useless.
The Hobi Hobi no Mi, on the other hand, was different. That kind of unlimited, bug-level ability was truly dangerous.
To directly erase a person's entire trace in this world was more painful than killing someone!
Overall, Bada's forgetting ability could be considered a lower-tier ability compared to the Hobi Hobi no Mi.
Of course, since it was called the Forget-Forget Fruit, no one knew if this guy could develop it to the same heaven-defying level as the Hobi Hobi no Mi in the future.
"What about the transformation ability?"
"Can you turn into other people?"
"No, I can only turn into people who have never existed in this world."
"Oh..."
"Alright, let's stop talking about your ability. Besides running away, it's not very useful."
Kong Tai mumbled while drinking, "Maybe you could use it on a king of a country, thereby subverting that country."
"Other than that, that's about it."
"Uh..."
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Kong Tai suddenly felt the surroundings quiet down and looked around blankly.
"Kekeke!"
"Captain, your idea is really dangerous!"
Indigo looked at Kong Tai and laughed heartily, thinking to himself, "As expected of the man who killed Shiki. Does he only think about subverting countries?"
"Kekeke!"
"No, don't talk nonsense!"
Kong Tai quickly explained, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously!"
Ah Hua and the other two nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! How could Kong Tai have such an idea! He must be drunk."
Of course, these were just their jokes. They knew Kong Tai's personality.
Given Kong Tai's lazy nature, even if he were offered the position of king, he wouldn't take it.
If you ask why.
Too tiring.
Seeing Bada, who had been lowering his head in thought since hearing his words.
Kong Tai couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Bada?"
"You're not actually planning to do that after hearing my words, are you!"
"Hahahaha!"
"I was just saying it in passing, you can't take it seriously!"
A glint flashed in Bada's eyes, and he raised his head, his face solemn.
"I think I know why the World Government insisted on eradicating Bas."
"Oh! Right, after talking so much, I still don't know why Bas was annihilated?"
Kong Tai sat up straight, full of curiosity.
"Tell us quickly."
"Alright."
Bada rested his chin on the back of his hand, and a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"It all started three years ago, during Bas's annual Bas Wine Carnival."
"During the carnival three years ago, a Celestial Dragon came."
"A Celestial Dragon?"
"Yes, a Celestial Dragon."
Speaking of Celestial Dragons, a cold light flashed in Bada's eyes.
"This Celestial Dragon took a liking to Liya as soon as he arrived. I wasn't present at the time, and his subordinates captured Liya."
"By the time I found out, the carnival was already over."
"And my wife, Liya's mother, was killed while trying to stop the Celestial Dragon from capturing Liya."
Even though it had been three years, every time he thought of his wife's death, his eyes would well up with tears.
He regretted it more than once.
He regretted why he wasn't by his wife and daughter's side at the time.
Thus, his wife was killed and his daughter was captured.
And his daughter suffered so much inhuman torture.
Liya might never be able to escape from the shadow.
