"This thing is called a Demon Seed." A faint smile curled across Doflamingo's lips, carrying a devilish temptation.
"After absorbing the Demon Seed, with the strength of your physique, you will at least possess power comparable to a top-tier First Mate or an Admiral Candidate. Considering all your equipment, your actual combat strength will only be greater. Even against a Navy Admiral, you could fight for several hours."
