One Piece: Reincarnated as the Rust-Rust Fruit, Corroding All Things

After transmigrating into the world of pirates, Xiu En is reborn as a Rust-Rust Fruit User.

“Is the Rust-Rust Fruit really a useless Devil Fruit?”

Xiu En has always believed that there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless Devil Fruit Users.

What causes iron to rust? Oxidation: iron reacts with water and oxygen to produce iron oxide.

Oxidation is everywhere. Combustion and explosions are oxidation reactions; so is respiration in humans and animals. Decay and microbial decomposition are oxidation reactions, too. The Rust-Rust Fruit’s power is like a potent catalyst, accelerating the oxidation of whatever it affects by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times. The result is something like time speeding up, causing anyone or anything struck by it to age or decay at an accelerated rate.

When Xiu En appears in the New World with his awakened Rust-Rust Fruit, Blackbeard immediately abandons his hunt for every other Devil Fruit User and fixates on Xiu En like a madman.

Let’s see how Xiu En uses his wits and Devil Fruit powers to make his mark in the world of pirates.
