'This Devil Fruit is an artificial Azure Dragon power, the masterpiece of the world's greatest scientist.'
Wang Shi quickly communicated with the Seven-Star Sword Spirit in his mind, and also told the Sword Spirit about the uncertainty of whether this Artificial Devil Fruit could Awakening.
Next, I'll be looking for the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire form. Would you prefer to become a mighty dragon or a sinister vampire?
Wang Shi then told the Seven-Star Sword Spirit about some of the abilities of the Vampire Fruit, letting it choose for itself.
After all, the Seven-Star Sword Spirit is quite an old relic, and it might have some unique insights.
The Seven-Star Dragon Sword was drawn on its own, revealing half of the sword blade, with the seven star patterns on the blade radiating light.
The Sword Spirit's consciousness briefly detached from the sword, swirling around the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, probing the demonic will within it.
'Master, this is clearly a complete demonic will. Are you sure it was created by humans?'
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit spoke in a rather strange tone, having just expressed its disbelief that humans could replicate Devil Fruit abilities.
The will of this Devil Fruit seems to be no different from the wills of Devil Fruit it has seen before.
Perhaps it is this will, through the technology of these scientists, that has imbued this fruit with its own essence.
Or perhaps it was born out of the wishes of these scientists.
In short, it is definitely a demonic will that can Awakening.
A complete will.
'You mean it can Awakening?'
Are you confident?
Wang Shi was shocked. This Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit's ability was actually a complete will, or rather, a completely new Devil Fruit ability.
No wonder Momonosuke ate the Pink Dragon Fruit and gained such powerful abilities in just one or two months when he arrived at Onigashima.
The development speed was simply phenomenal, completely unlike anything man-made.
Vegapunk didn't create the Azure Dragon's abilities; he created a new Mythical Zoan.
'This will is remarkably simple and pure, unlike the ancient and chaotic nature of other Devil Fruit abilities.'
'I feel that my mind and body can easily catch up with its abilities, resonate with its will, and reach that so-called Awakening state.'
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit was originally more interested in the Vampire Fruit, since its blood-sucking ability perfectly suited its style.
But now it has been discovered that this fresh, naive, and pure will can rapidly strengthen itself.
The possibility of failing to Awakening is virtually nonexistent.
That ancient Vampire Fruit power might still have the potential to fail to Awakening, leading to confusion.
Now it can easily deceive this will, and everyone will continue to exist forever.
Isn't this better than having this ability change owners every few decades?
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit can't wait for the Vampire Fruit.
It needs to immediately gain the ability to move freely.
'That's it!'
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit immediately recognized this newly born pure will and decided to become its first and only master.
We'll stay with it until it dies and never dies.
'So confident!'
'Then make it your ability.'
Wang Shi originally intended to let the Seven-Star Sword Spirit choose after finding the Vampire Fruit, but since it was so determined, Wang Shi didn't interfere too much.
Monet looked at Wang Shi's longsword that automatically unsheathed, and at Wang Shi who was holding Artificial Devil Fruit and resting with his eyes closed.
What are they doing?
Standing there blankly made Monet feel uncomfortable all over.
Aramaki looked at Wang Shi strangely. Could it be that His Majesty was really communicating with this Demon Sword?
Wang Shi had previously stated that this Demon Sword possessed its own consciousness.
It now appears that the man and his sword are indeed communicating in some unknown way.
A feeling of awe and wonder, though inexplicable, arose in Aramaki's heart.
Your Majesty truly deserves to be called the World's Strongest emperor, possessing such an opportunity.
"Walk!"
Having gained the approval and confirmation of the Seven-Star Sword Spirit, Wang Shi sheathed the half of the Seven-Star Sword, and the consciousness of the Seven-Star Sword Spirit instantly returned to the sword.
Wang Shi took the Pink Dragon Fruit and turned to leave.
He and the Seven-Star Sword Spirit were eager to return and use the Devil Fruit 'feeding' machine to completely fuse the Pink Dragon Fruit's power with the Seven-Star Dragon Sword.
"Okay."
"Your Majesty, you seem to be in a good mood."
Aramaki followed closely behind Wang Shi, his expression extremely excited, just like the young Aokiji who followed Garp back then, his eyes filled with the fervor of an idol.
"A decent ability."
Wang Shi tossed the Devil Fruit in his hand with a gleeful expression, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit was so confident in Awakening the Pink Dragon's abilities, how could Wang Shi not be happy?
He will soon be able to possess an Awakening Devil Fruit weapon, just like Figarland Shamrock, which can even attack and protect its owner autonomously.
It's a truly magical artifact!
Monet's face darkened slightly as he looked at the emperor and marquis who were completely ignoring him, his small fists clenched tightly.
That's incredibly disrespectful to beautiful women!
When Monet chased after them, Wang Shi had already ridden the Kirin Lion into the sky, and Aramaki also flew away, twirling petals.
Monet watched their retreating figures, and for some reason, stomped her foot like an angry little girl.
But in the end, she just sighed and immediately called Doflamingo via Den Den Mushi to report the current situation.
Wang Shi did not actually come into contact with Caesar; he simply took a failed Artificial Devil Fruit.
"Just a failed Artificial Devil Fruit?"
Doflamingo, currently in Dressrosa, had eyes filled with suspicion and conjecture.
"I feel like Wang Shi really values this Artificial Devil Fruit, but Caesar said it's a failure by Vegapunk."
Monet reported everything that happened Wang Shi obtained the fruit.
"What? This is the work of Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist?"
Doflamingo suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if he had just missed out on some treasure.
"Yes, according to Caesar, this is Vegapunk's failed attempt to replicate Beast Kaido's Azure Dragon ability."
As Monet spoke, a thought flashed through his mind: if Wang Shi valued it so much, could it not be a failed product?
"Damn Caesar, he didn't even report this to me!"
Doflamingo slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with rage.
He was 100% certain that this failed Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit was definitely not simple.
Wang Shi possesses such strong intelligence capabilities, yet he specifically went to Punk Hazard to search for a failed fruit.
Anyone with a brain can see the trickery involved.
Unexpectedly, after losing a Gold-Gold Fruit, he also missed out on a successful Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit.
That's fucking damn good!
Most importantly, Wang Shi also had some leverage over him.
Wang Shi even knew the secret that he was protecting Caesar, so there's at least a 70% chance that Wang Shi already knew about Vergo's affairs.
This made it impossible for Doflamingo to do anything to Wang Shi, the Overlord of the East Blue and the future overlord of the Four Blues.
He could only swallow this bitter pill and continue to deepen his cooperation with Wang Shi.
He attached great importance to the Four Blues underworld system and platform built by Wang Shi, which allowed him, the emperor of underground intermediaries, to get a considerable share of the profits.
The Four Seas Fleet under Wang Shi's command is still not large enough to handle so much business.
He, the Deep Sea King, the Storage King, and several others can all share a portion of the profits.
The trade routes are now smoother than before, which is good for everyone.
