Noro Noro no Mi.
Also known as the Slow-Slow Fruit, it is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to emit beams that temporarily slow down their target.
In the original Anime, it was eaten by Foxy the Silver Fox, who, in Izuku and Nejire's view, completely ruined the reputation of such a powerful fruit.
The fruit could emit so-called Noroma Photons, a purple beam of light that could slow down everything it touched.
It can slow down people, objects, and even space itself.
Even more outrageous is that once the Slow-Slow Beam hits someone, their movement speed is drastically reduced, no matter how fast they were before the beam hit them.
That means if a normal human and Kizaru were both hit simultaneously, their speed would no longer differ, even if Kizaru was formerly much faster.
Both would be as slow as a snail, if not even slower.
In Izuku's opinion, the even scarier part of the fruit is that while the victim's body is slowed down, their brain keeps functioning at normal speed. This means they're trapped in a near standstill, fully aware of everything but unable to react, turning it into a psychological attack as well.
Just imagine.
You can't move even a centimeter, but the person in front of you can do whatever he wants with you because he still has his normal speed.
It's terrible.
It ignores the former speed of the person or object, and everything is slowed down to almost zero.
The beam doesn't distinguish between Strong or Weak enemies.
While the person in freeze is attacked, all the attacks are saved as kinetic force, which will be released in sum the moment the slow-down effect vanishes, resulting into one massive and powerful attack.
That's also why Nejire, Izuku, and even Inko think Foxy dragged down this overpowered fruit completely.
If it wasn't for Foxy's extremely weak strength in the Anime, there would be no way such an overpowered fruit could be as forgotten as it is.
Foxy probably never trained his fruit, considering how many restrictions he had.
Like a small beam that was hard to hit anyone, the need to use your hands to shoot out the beam, and his low strength, which prevented him from dealing damage even if he had 30 seconds to do so.
It was even so bad that the slow beams he shot himself could influence his own body, effectively slowing himself down.
If it had only been slowed down, if Foxy had wanted it that way, that would still be okay, but the fact was that there was no distinction between ally and enemy in front of Foxy's beam.
To solve these problems and restrictions, Izuku decided to set them as his main training targets.
Over the last two years, Izuku, with the help of Inko and Nejire, has tried his best to remove all the restrictions on the fruit.
Luckily, this fruit, in particular, seems to be very fitting for Izuku.
He seems to have a natural talent for using and enhancing this fruit, and new ideas come to him almost automatically.
Nejire, Inko, and Izuku all watched the Anime One Piece, so they knew that some people are more talented than others at using a specific fruit. So, it wasn't a total surprise to them that Izuku got stronger than Foxy in only a few weeks.
Since the day he ate the fruit, he has trained with Nejire every day at a small Quirk Gym near their house.
Considering that their home was only five minutes away from the U.A., they could choose freely from many quirk gyms in the vicinity.
A Quirk Gym is a gym where professional trainers watch everyone train all the time and instantly come to their rescue in emergencies.
Of course, they only watch to prevent accidents that can emerge when someone trains their quirks.
Yes, in this gym, you can train quirks for which you would normally need a license.
The fact itself is still that quirk use, in general, is forbidden and regulated by law.
Everyone who uses their Quirk in public or even, in some cases, in private needs to own a license to do so legally.
Most of the time, the police ignores it as long as you don't bother or hurt someone with it, but training is an absolute no-go, and will be fined instantly.
Not only is quirk usage dangerous for the people in the vicinity, but it is also very dangerous for the user of the quirk itself.
If they are not professionally trained, they are likely to get hurt during high-intensity training.
That's also the reason why Quirk Gyms got so popular over the last few years.
They all have a limited-time license permission that allows people on their property to use quirks.
Of course, there were many restrictions, and it had to be watched 24/7, but for the most part, it was still profitable for the operators and loved by everyone.
In these gyms, normal civilians could easily vent their frustrations and use their quirks to their heart's content.
There are also many kids joining in to train their quirks for the entrance exam of Hero schools.
Of course, not all children have the opportunity to join this gym since it is costly.
Anyway, Izuku, who had previously won the lottery, and Nejire, whose father pays a large amount of child support, could easily join the gym together.
They joined a smaller gym around the corner of their houses because they could easily reach it without worrying their mothers.
Considering Izuku's high luck, the gym they joined also ended up being a small unknown gem.
Until now, only a few people in the gym knew of Izuku and Nejire's real strength, and everyone who knew would never tell anyone.
There are too many bad people in this world, and they didn't want the two children to come in contact with them so early in life.
After two years of training, combined with the sea king's flesh and the sometimes randomly appearing strengthening pills that Izuku picked up, their strength skyrocketed immensely.
To Izuku's relief and Nejire's unhappiness, the Sea King's flesh didn't let them grow into giants.
They certainly grew bigger than their average age group of kids, but the growth was still within a tolerable range.
Izuku, at thirteen years old, is now 167cm tall, and Nejire, at fifteen, is 178cm tall.
Their overall looks didn't change much, either.
Both looked basically the same, except that Nejire's hair got longer and that both of them gained some muscles.
Even Nejire's ahoge is still there because she heard Izuku once say that it looks cute. Not that Izuku knew of that fact. He just thought she never bothered to remove it.
Their bodies also developed in a good direction.
Both gained some lean-looking muscles that had no bulk to them.
Nejire thanked God for that.
She didn't want to be a muscle queen, and she certainly didn't want Izuku to be bulky, either.
They could certainly also look good with bulky muscles, but Nejire liked the lean build far more than the bulky ones.
Until now, Nejire has not eaten a devil fruit, but even without it, she has become extremely strong in the last two years.
Her body's strength is abnormally high after their intense training combined with Izuku's items that he picked up every few days.
Her quirk, which gets stronger with her body's strength, was also a God-given gift. She didn't even need to train it as much as Izuku had to his Devil Fruit since it would develop naturally as her body got stronger.
Her stronger body resulted in more stamina, which is the fuel of her quirk. With the extra stamina, her quirk became stronger, and she could fight for days without stopping.
In addition, she also learned Armament and Observation Haki together with Izuku.
Sure, they just started with it, but they could still show some small achievements and already use it a little bit.
Of course, the only reason they could start with it so quickly was that Izuku wished for Kaido's Haki training journal.
They were actually surprised that Kaido had a journal because they knew Kaido was the best teacher for Haki in the One Piece world, but they didn't expect him to be able to write.
Nejire, who now has an abnormally strong body and a very strong Quirk combined with her awakened Haki, could easily enter the top 10 heroes rankings if you only look at strength and remove all other factors that bring someone into the top 10.
This fact was also confirmed by Yoroi Musha, who is currently in the top 10 of the hero rankings in Japan.
He even said that, with power alone, she was probably only under All Might.
He guessed that even Endeavor would have difficulty fighting against her.
Yoroi Musha, one of the top ten Heroes in Japan, is the co-owner of the small gym they entered randomly.
That also took Izuku and Nejire by surprise, but after some time, they adjusted to it and often asked the pro for tips and advice.
The Hero was not only surprised by Nejire's strength.
Izuku was an even more outrageous guy who scared him a bit initially.
After training with his new Devil Fruit for the last two years, Izuku was even stronger than Nejire.
Even though his body is still a bit weaker than Nejire's, his Devil Fruit, in contrast, developed very deeply.
His slow beam now has a 60-second slow time.
He also redirected the Noroma Photons from his hands to his whole body.
The Photons now surround his body 24/7 and only deactivate when Izuku actively wants them to. It works like a force field.
He trained himself to lose his weakness against the Noroma Photons so he wouldn't be slowed down even if he was hit by one.
It only took him two years to eliminate all the weaknesses Foxy showed with the fruit in the Anime.
The field was also a surprise for Izuku himself. He only tried it out of curiosity.
He got the idea from an anime he watched with Nejire in which a guy named Gojo also had a similar force field around him, so he wanted to try it.
Admittedly, before he trained the field, he got a Comprehension Fruit from his Luck Quirk. He didn't even know fruits like that existed.
Like always, it just randomly popped up in front of him.
Even after so many years, his Luck still got stronger every day, so it wasn't weird to see that when Izuku needed something, it would appear in front of him even if Izuku himself didn't even know that he needed something.
He doesn't even know from which world this fruit came.
Still, with the inspection function of his system, he could see that when eating the fruit, you would experience something like an "enlightenment," and your comprehension would be enhanced by *10000 for as long as the enlightenment lasts.
After 6 hours of meditating, he finally developed the unreasonable slow field.
Anyway, combined with his natural body power, he was very powerful.
His slow beam field would influence everyone coming near him and will actively slow them down for the next 60 seconds, and even objects like bullets or elemental attacks were the same.
After the Enemy is in slow motion, he can easily hit him for the next 60 seconds, and all the collected energy will be unleashed at once at the end of the slow phase.
Yoroi, who saw many unreasonable things over his long life, was also shocked by Izuku's power.
He even suspected that All Might would have a hard time fighting if he didn't outright lose in minutes against Izuku, whose power is unlogical.
The most outrageous thing about Izuku is that Izuku's Slow Motion Beam, which lasts for 60 seconds, actually has no cool-down time.
That means as long as the enemy is still within the range of Izuku's field, which, for the moment, was 5m around Izuku, he is slowed down permanently.
So, if Izuku fights All Might in the range of 5 meters, there is no way for All Might to hit Izuku, and even if he attacked from far away, the slow field would hold his attack in the slow field indefinitely.
It's completely broken.
Now, even without his luck, Izuku Midoriya is untouchable.
