Chuán Guó Wǔqì

GeneralTechniquesDivine Tree

**Chuán Guó Wǔqì** (*傳國武器, Heirloom Arms of the Realm*) is the name given to a set of Zeppin worn by Bai Jiang as a replacement for his missing body parts.

## ***Overview***

The set unlike most Zeppin sets is composed of 6 completely independent Zeppins which individually would have been considered a unique Zeppin by themselves but due to the circumstances of their creation are included as a single set of prosthetic for Bai Jiang. All parts of the Chuán Guó Wǔqì are carved out of **Sea King Bones** including both eyes.

## ***Body Parts Attributes***

### **Eyes**

The eyes are perhaps the most essential component of the set. Like the rest of the body parts they are carved out of Sea King Bones and are "enchanted" with the following properties:

* The **Fusion Ability** of a *male Anglerfish*, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated down to the blood-vessel with the body;
* The **Eyesight** of an *Hawk*, granting him powerful enhanced vision;
* The **Kinetic Vision** of a *Dragonfly*, granting him increased kinetic vision;
* The **Magnetoreception** of a *Catfish*, granting him an extra sixth sense with which to sense and observe electromagnetic phenomena with;
* The **Bio-luminescence** of a *Anglerfish*, allowing him to project light from his eyes. When he activates this ability he blinds himself on that eye temporarily.
* The **Liquid Projection** of an **Archerfish**, a later addition granting the eyes the ability to shoot out pressurized liquid.

All together with all the enhancements provided to them the Eyes of Bai grant him *visual prowess that surpasses that of a human* and even *other races* and more importantly, the ability to **project pressurized beams of water** from his eyes as an attack. Furthermore because of the effects of the **Don Don no Mi** when he uses these abilities they appear much more stylized and cool than the actual effects are.

### **Legs**

The legs were considered the least essential during the creation of the set, they have most of the same properties as the arms:

* The **Fusion Ability** of a *male Anglerfish*, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated down to the blood-vessel with the body;
* The **Superhuman Strength** of a **Sea King**, granting him superhuman strength;
* The **Superhuman Endurance** of a **Sea King**, granting them superhuman endurance;
* The **Regenerative Prowess** of a *Sea Star*, allowing the legs to regenerate should they incur any harm;
* The **Shapeshifting, Tentacle-brain, Memory, Texture Alteration and Color Alteration** of an *Octopus* allowing Bai to alter the appearance of his legs and maintain the facade of normality;
* The **Potential for Growth** of a *Human*, a later addition which fixes the need of replacement over the years, allowing the legs to grow from the size of a baby's legs to those of an adult and to acquire strength from training as a pure happenstance;
* The **Jet Propulsion** of a *Octopus*, a later addition requested to increase his fighting ability.
* The **Flight** of a *Bird*, a later addition requested to increase his mobility.
* The **Bio-luminescence** of a *Firefly*, a later addition requested to make his legs look extra cool.

All together with all the enhancements provided the legs allow Bai to do anything normal legs can at an increased level and can even shape-shift them a bit so long as they maintain the same volume.

### **Arms**

The arms were considered the second most essential during the creation of the set as such they have the following properties on top of **all** the properties associated with the legs:

* The **Heat Resistance and Fire Creation** of a **Lesser Dragon**, granting his arms nigh immunity to heat and the ability to create fire. Bai requested this to cook better.
* The **Heat Transferal** of a *Reptile*, allowing him to quickly discharge any extra heat onto himself and vice versa.
* The **Chitin, Glass and Shell Creation** of *various invertebrates and algae*, granting him the ability to synthesize an exoskeleton on top of his prosthetic arms and to create objects and tools. Bai requested this to cook better.
* The **Chemical and Organic Matter synthesis** of a *uncountable number of ingredients*, granting him the ability to produce an abundance of chemicals and organic matter, most often food. Bai requested this to cook better.
* The **Liquid Projection** of an **Archerfish**, granting him the ability to project the liquids he synthesizes. Bai requested this to put out any fires.

All together this grants his arms all the abilities associated with his legs and a few additional means of offense and defense which he can better utilize, namely the ability to produce fire and create shells and knives.

## ***Drawbacks***

While it might appear that there are no drawbacks to the Zeppin the fact still stands that they are prosthetic and thus aren't 100% perfect arms, namely Bai does not feel pain and cannot acquire information from touch like a normal person can, leaving him susceptible to certain tricky opponents.

Additionally while Zeppins may appear to be entirely magical, this isn't entirely true, Zeppins don't violate the laws of thermodynamics as hard as a devil fruit would and whenever a Zeppin creates matter or energy it is done by consuming other matter and energy in contact with it. As such utilizing the creation abilities of the Zeppin is limited by both the environment and Bai's own body, to counteract this weakness Bai has hollowed out his arms and legs and filled them with "fuel" for his abilities, mostly sea water and rocks which are easy to acquire.

## ***Fighting Potential***

Bai Jiang is a user of the elusive and esoteric fighting style of Chemical Juggling which he uses in combination with the chemical synthesis abilities of his Zeppin arms to create **Jing** and Solid Organic Matter. Bai Jiang is probably the best user of this method of fighting bar none.

### **Jing**

Bai Jiang performs chemical juggling with a mysterious substance only he knows how to synthesize using his Zeppin, he refers to this substance as **Jing** (*Essence*) and it exhibits different properties depending on its state:

* **Solid**: While in solid state Jing exhibits a crystalline structure akin to that of ice but of greater hardness and greater density than in its liquid state, it exhibits a black coloration like obsidian.
* **Liquid**: While in liquid state Jing is a Superfluid which allows Bai to manipulate the liquid at incredibly high speeds for a variety of attacks, it also looks like black ink.
* **Gas**: While in gas state Jing exhibits the chemical properties associated with Noble Gases in that it won't react chemically with just about any other substance being only influenced by temperature for the most part, it is a dark soot-cloud like gas.
* **Plasma**: While in plasma state Jing functions and behaves like normal fire except the flame has a grey-black gradient to it, appearing like it's been painted into existence.

## ***Trivia***

* The material Jing is named after the chinese concept of Jing.
