"A second God Tree.."

Long, long ago, a seed of unknown origin landed in the world of Naruto. Perhaps it was planted by Kaguya's ancestors...

This seed, upon landing in the Naruto world, began to absorb the nutrients and energy of that world, steadily growing until it became a towering, colossal tree – the God Tree!

Kaguya, seeking the God Tree's fruit, traveled from afar to this world. She consumed the fruit and became the progenitor of chakra, a goddess in that world.

...

Ian gazed at the remnants of the colossal trees before him, trees that had survived even after he had severed half of the Red Line. Their roots stretched across the entire landmass, perhaps even encompassing the entire One Piece world.

This was likely the second God Tree seed, which had arrived at an unknown time. However, due to the different rules of this world, it had taken a different form.

It had become the Devil Fruit Tree, bearing countless, varied Devil Fruits. Eight hundred years ago, Joy Boy and Im had likely fought over it, debating whether to hoard its power or share it with the world.

Their disagreement led to the Devil Fruits being scattered across the globe. In two other worlds he knew of, similar events had occurred.

In one, a seed of unknown origin had fused with the earth, creating the terrifying and wondrous world of the Gourmet Cells, where even the weakest beasts could destroy the Human World. In another, a World Tree had taken root, with an even larger Dark Continent surrounding it.

These were the two worlds of the Hunter x Hunter & Toriko, the origin of Gourmet Cells and Nen. Similar to how ninjutsu and chakra originated from the God Tree in Naruto, and Devil Fruits in One Piece.

...

...

In each of these four worlds, a seed had taken root and grown into a unique form, granting humans extraordinary abilities.

Perhaps, somewhere in the vast universe, there existed a Universal Tree, a cosmic entity that devoured all energy.

"So, you're the one who's been stealing souls from me?"

Ian's wings, vast enough to blot out the sun, cast an ominous shadow over the land. The million soldiers of the World Government were supposed to have been enough to push his fusion rate to 90%, allowing him to achieve his Tercera Etapa: Fallen Angel.

But this Devil Fruit Tree had interfered, stealing souls from him. He had been forced to consume the fruits of his own Devil Fruit Tree, including the Time-Time and Space-Space Fruits at the very top, to reach his current state and confront Im, who had entered his World Mode and become a god.

Ian extended his hand, his black claws reaching towards the World's Devil Fruit Tree. A seed-like Devil Fruit, struggling in vain, was forced out into the open.

"Since you made me lose all my Devil Fruit powers, you'll have to take their place."

Ian knew this Devil Fruit, having borne all the others, wouldn't increase his template fusion. But it could grow within him, becoming a colossal World Tree bearing every Devil Fruit power. This would signify his complete mastery over the One Piece world.

The Strongest Devil, an Omniscient & Omnipotent God.
