Fruit Rebirth

"Is there? Be careful!" Spandine shouted at the CP0 agents, his eyes red.

Several agents rummaged through several boxes of peaches, but all of them shook their heads in disappointment...

Spandine glared angrily at Momousagi, Momousagi in turn had the Navy inspect the prepared boxes of peaches.

However...

No, not at all!

With Vegapunk's technical support, the World Government has also grasped the laws governing the regeneration of Devil Fruit.

While not 100% successful, there is generally about a 30% chance that a nearby "same fruit" will mutate into a new Devil Fruit after the Devil Fruit ability dies.

The prototype of the "Op-Op Fruit" is a peach, which the World Government already knew. Naturally, the Navy and CP0 brought many peaches to increase the chances of recovery.

Once the decision is made to eliminate Silver Axe, there is a 30% chance that the new Op-Op Fruit will be reclaimed by the World Government.

Theoretically, as long as you carry an infinite number of the corresponding fruits, you can have about one-third of the Devil Fruit reborn in your body.

Of course, there is another 70% chance that the fruit will randomly regenerate worldwide. Therefore, for those dangerous fruits, the World Government prefers to imprison the users of their abilities—maintaining stability is more important than enhancing its own combat power.

Unfortunately, the odds weren't in the World Government's favor this time either; neither the Navy nor CP0 could really hope for the best.

"Damn it!" Spandine angrily ripped off his coat and threw it on the ground, then glared at Momousagi and roared, "I will report this matter truthfully to the World Government! You can explain it to Fleet Admiral Kong then!"

When hunting slaves, Momousagi originally just wanted to play both sides.

In theory, she didn't have to obey CP0's orders, but she didn't want to directly turn against Silver Axe, much less confront CP0 directly.

However, she overestimated the depths of that bastard Silver Axe's wickedness—among the slaves, who were the party's prey, there were even ordinary children...

This is clearly a deliberate act of utter depravity to drag the World Government into this mess.

When CP0 was about to kill an innocent little girl to take the scorecard from her collar, Momousagi couldn't help but attack the CP0 members.

Of course, this has nothing to do with what's happening right now—it turns out that even if Spandine became the "King of the Party," it wouldn't matter, because Silver Axe... for some reason, he suddenly died on the spot while confronting Jinbe and Fisher Tiger!

Although Silver Axe had no chance of fulfilling his promise, Spandine still held a grudge against Momousagi.

The party scene just now was complete chaos.

Giant Axe vs. Fish-Man, Giant Axe vs. Germa, Giant Axe vs. Golden Lion, Golden Lion vs. Germa, Golden Lion vs. Marines, Germa vs. Fish-Man...

The various factions were in complete chaos, and they immediately started fighting over the slightest disagreement!

After all, apart from the Sun Pirates, everyone else had already harbored distrust, and the Sun Pirates were undoubtedly the most isolated and helpless.

The Giant Axe Pirates and their slave traders consider them their greatest enemies, and the Navy and CP0 also consider them wanted criminals!

However, just as he was fighting two opponents, Silver Axe suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed, leaving everyone completely baffled.

If it weren't for the heads rotting on the Tree of Sighs, and the countless assembled slaves on the island instantly either reforming or dying... no one would believe that Silver Axe actually died on the spot.

Throughout the entire Axe Island, the original owner's organs were instantly teleported to one location—with the heart as the reference point.

Golden Lion was also taken aback—although Silver Axe had briefly sparred with him before his death, the two had only "sparred" and it wasn't even considered "serious," let alone "fighting for their lives."

In particular, Silver Axe tricked him, and the leg that was transplanted into him was actually Silver Axe's own.

As a user of the Op-Op Fruit, his lower leg was able to move on its own after it was separated. He wanted to Golden Lion at a crucial moment, but it "returned to its rightful owner" and went back to the body of the deceased Silver Axe.

At that time, Fisher Tiger and Jinbe were facing off against this pirate overlord!

From the perspective of the Golden Lion, the Silver Axe had already suppressed two Fish-Man, however...

When Silver Axe fell, Golden Lion even suspected he was trying to scam someone!

However, the subsequent deaths and recoveries of a large number of slaves undoubtedly proved Silver Axe's death, throwing the remnants of the Giant Axe Pirates and the slave traders on the island into chaos!

Suddenly, they faced the wrath of countless slaves, especially the Giant Axe Pirates —their key officers and combatants, who had been modified, were dismantled and reorganized on the spot, their fighting power plummeting!

The Navy and CP0 ignored the chaos and immediately went to find "Peach," but their efforts were in vain.

"Capture those Fish-Man... no, dead or alive! Leave those damned Fish-Man alive!" Spandine ordered the CP0 combatants.

Even if they can't get the Op-Op Fruit, they still need to gain something to report back to the Celestial Dragons.

"Damn it! They're lackeys of the World Government!"

"We will not allow them to harm our benefactor..."

"Benefactor?"

"You don't know, do you? It was the Fish-Man who killed Silver Axe... In the castle, he destroyed Silver Axe's heart, I saw it!"

"The World Government people previously claimed we were legal slaves?"

"Then let's wipe them all out too!"

"Wait... Don't attack CP0! The Navy will help you clarify your identities later..."

Among the newly rescued slaves, one happened to have witnessed Sig "killing" Silver Axe from the Tree of Sighs —of course, he saw it as Sig piercing Silver Axe's heart with the bars.

Although I don't know who Sig is, I do know that he is a Fish-Man!

The Marines, led by Momousagi, still wanted to appease the rioting slaves— Silver Axe was already dead, and the World Government would certainly announce his crimes afterward, naturally leading to the liberation of these slaves.

His previous legal status was nothing but Spandine's nonsense...

However, the Navy's words are obviously not very credible now. In the eyes of the slaves, Silver Axe, the Navy, CP0... are all in cahoots!

Just then, a small "exit" appeared in the castle, which had been blocked from all the passages. Sig rushed out first, followed by many pirates with giant axes.

The Devil Fruit in Sig's possession also attracted the attention of many...

That's right, Sig finally found the mutated peach, also known as the "Op-Op Fruit," in the castle's kitchen!

The chances of respawning nearby were indeed higher, but... the one that hit was the peach in the castle kitchen, and Sig spotted it immediately.

"Fruit, fruit... Op-Op Fruit! Charge! Forget about the other Fish-Man!" Spandine shouted immediately.

"That's the Op-Op Fruit?"

"Huh? It's that kid?"

"That's... Stop!" Momousagi didn't care about anything else and quickly led her people to chase after them.

At the same time, Momousagi noticed the Seastone Handcuffs on his right hand. "Hmm? He is... he's not a CP0 member?" She looked at Idiot as she spoke.

Spandine roared, "You bastard! Are you trying to frame me?"

"Fish-Man?" The Golden Lion in the air was also taken aback—although Sig was in his Fish-Man form, the Golden Lion recognized Sig by sensing his aura with his Observation Haki.

The Vinsmoke people can actually turn into Fish-Man? Is this the result of their research? But... something seems off!

"Little Fei? Brothers! Stop them and cover Little Fei!" Although Fisher Tiger didn't know why Sig wanted to snatch that hot potato, he still immediately called on his comrades to join the attack.
