A man dressed in tight combat gear spoke up. "Alliance Leader, I've waited a long time for this day! I joined your ranks to raise the strength I've already pushed to its limit. I won't fear any danger! Let me eat this Devil Fruit that can enhance my power! Let it be proof of my loyalty to you! Let it merge with me, make me stronger, and let me unleash every last drop of my combat power for the Alliance Leader!"
Ronglin looked at the man whose combat uniform had the character "No. 3" embroidered over his heart. "You're No. 3? You believed in me, so you joined me. I believed in Caesar, so I had him develop Devil Fruits. Now, let us believe together that this fruit is a successful experimental product!"
The members of the Battle Elite 14 Regiment had been reorganized by Ronglin. Their group was named Phantom, and it would become the strongest combat unit under Ronglin's command in the future. Everyone would use code names and abandon their original names. The numbers on their chests were their code names.
Phantom No. 3 stepped forward, took a deep breath, and prepared to undergo the experiment by eating the first Artificial Devil Fruit developed by Caesar.
However, pig head, who held the title of leader but had never possessed any real authority, stepped forward. Scratching his head, he asked Ronglin, "Alliance Leader, didn't you promise me before that the first Devil Fruit developed would be for me to eat?"
Looking at the fat, somewhat dim-witted man, Ronglin broke out in a cold sweat. Back then, this fatty had followed Jazz in boldly charging into the Pirate Alliance's territory. His courage had been commendable, and to encourage him, Ronglin really had made a similar promise as a reward.
