The 1490th year of the Sea Calendar. (8 years are still left before the beginning of the Age of Discovery.)

“Hahahahaha…”

“Hahahahahahaha…”

The crazy laughter echoed in the narrow and dark corridor, causing the listeners to tremble.

Following one of the most shrill laughter, I saw a young man with long green hair and a white and thin face laughing wildly, and his long saliva was flowing along the corner of his mouth.

The boy was named Smile, an experimental product that had just been forced to swallow Smile fruits.

Smier never feared death.

He thinks death is like this.

When you are alive, death is still coming.

And if you die, it's useless.

But this time, he experienced something even more terrible than death.

He felt a sharp pain in his head like a needle, axe, and he seemed to be unable to remember anything. He just wanted to laugh wildly, but soon he felt that his disappearing memories were surging back into his mind.

Smier remembered that he followed his father to sea at the age of 13. At the age of 15, his father was arrested and executed on the Judicial Island. Three months after his father's death, Smier's Smiling Pirates were attacked in Demon Valley Town. The eldest mate Chusuo rebelled, resulting in the entire army being wiped out. He was captured by the enemy and sold to this terrible "Nightmare Prison" through a human trafficker named monk.

Here, Smile is forced to swallow an artificial demon fruit called "Smile" and then loses consciousness in a crazy laugh.

At this moment, his consciousness gradually recovered, but his smile still could not stop.

"Hey... Boss? This crazy laugher seems a little strange. He has been laughing for too long..."

A bloated villain came over, looked carefully at Smer inside through the cage, pondering for a moment:

"This kid is indeed a bit abnormal... Damn, he smiles so badly!"

"Boss, do you want to tell the doctor?"

"Tell me, just a shit! This guy's laughter is so annoying that I've killed him!"

As he said that, the two jailers rushed in with shouts.

"You boy don't laugh, don't you? I think you're not dying fast enough, right?"

The sound of iron sticks hitting sounded in Smyr's ears.

“Hahahahaha…hahahaha…”

Smier couldn't control his smile at all, and still couldn't help laughing wildly.

He didn't know why he laughed, but he couldn't control his smile.

At the same time, Smier was stunned to find that he could clearly feel a special force surging in his body.

Obviously, this is the power of the devil fruit!

Smier was shocked. He was just sighing that he had a bad life, but he didn't expect that he would gain the power of the devil fruit so quickly. This was incredible.

He had heard his father and other crew members mention the power of the devil fruit countless times, but this kind of magical object is very rare after all. He has only seen a person with ability three times so far, but he never expected that one day he would be able to obtain the power of the devil fruit.

What's even more strange is that Smier's mind can automatically show the level and effect of his devil fruit:

【Everyone’s Fruit】

Type: Animal system·Phantom beast species·Clown form

Level: 16

ability:

【Brave laughter】

Effect: Active & Passive. It will automatically convert the user's emotional fluctuations, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness into smiles. In the state of active and crazy laughter, the corresponding [physical] damage can be offset according to the user's devil fruit level, and can mock the enemy who hears laughter, inspiring their malice and anger.

In addition, all the damage suffered will be transformed into power.

【Power Killer】

Effect: Actively select a target and hunt it. After the hunting is successful, the energy that devours its devil fruit (not devouring ability), at the cost, there is a chance that it will cause chaos. If the hunting fails within one hour, the user will regress to level 0.

After Smair finished sensing, he finally understood where his uncontrollable smile came from!

Obviously, this is inevitably related to the ability of the devil fruit in his body.

Although this smile is a bit strange, after thinking about it carefully, Smier quickly realized that his ability to this fruit was really too buggy. And it seemed that he would gain more abilities in the future.

Smer was surging. Relying on the [Power Killer] in the Joker Fruit, in time, as long as he kept hunting the abilities, he might soon become the top strongman who dominates the sea.

Maybe even...

Can replace Roger's dominance.

Thinking of this, Smair smiled more naturally and unscrupulously...

"Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

"Bang--"

A blow to his head interrupted Smair's crazy laughter, which made him feel blurred and he almost fainted.

In a trance, five or six strong prisoners broke into the cell and began to beat Smyr!

"Brothers! This kid dares to laugh endlessly. He's really looking for death!"

"This kid is so lucky. After that experiment, he can survive. Damn it!"

"Fight! Fight to death!"

The smell of alcohol and heavy breathing were intertwined, and the prisoners were aggressive, and their fists and feet were ruthlessly smashed down like a storm.

Although Smier had activated the ability of the clown fruit in his body, the enemy's attack was too sudden, and he did not adapt to this world. In an instant, he was mainly beaten and kicked by the jailers.

In his previous life, he was bullied similarly when he was a child, but he chose to endure because of his cowardice and compromise.

But at this moment, Smair suddenly felt that the fierce fire in his heart was suddenly ignited, and the new and old hatreds completely changed him. He also vowed that he would never be bullied unscrupulously again.

Smier was still laughing wildly, and his heart suddenly felt a surge of killing intentions, and it became stronger and stronger.

At this time, the passive ability [Laughing] was still triggering. The jailers who beat Smair to fight more and more fiercely, without any mercy. They all took action ruthlessly. They found such an opportunity and all wanted to fight for nothing.

But strangely, Smier soon discovered that when their attacks hit him, it didn't hurt. Instead, it made him feel that a stream of indescribable forces were gathering towards a core area in his body, gradually condensing into a surging energy ball.

This feeling...

It should be the energy core formed in the body as mentioned in the book, right?

Smier's eyes lit up. He did not fight back immediately, and he still silently suffered damage. Every time the enemy beat him, the force gathered in his body accelerated a little faster. Every critical hit made him feel that the energy core in his body fluctuated extremely violently.

The jailers' violent beating lasted for more than ten minutes, and Smair was still laughing wildly, without shouting or fighting back.

His laughter had a sarcastic effect, which made the prison guards even more angry.

"This kid's laughter is really hateful! Don't show any mercy and kill him!" The fat prison chief shouted angrily.

The jailers immediately howled and responded.
