Moke Was Addressing Caesar

Moke's lips curled into a slight, ambiguous smile as he looked at Caesar, and he suddenly said, "The Artificial Devil Fruit that Vegapunk created is in your hands, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Caesar was taken aback at first, then nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Moke's smile grew even brighter, and he continued to ask, "Then where is it?" However, his gaze had already passed over Caesar and landed directly on the bundle behind Caesar.

As expected, in the next second, Caesar seemed to have a telepathic connection with Mok, as if he could read Moke's mind. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and gently patted the package behind him. The movement was gentle and casual, as if the package contained not some rare treasure, but an ordinary item.

Immediately afterward, Caesar's laughter echoed in the air, a laugh brimming with confidence and magnanimity. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of cunning, and then he said with a smile, "I've always carried it with me!"

Upon hearing Caesar's words, Moke's laughter grew even louder. As if he had heard the funniest joke, he leaned forward slightly and let out a burst of unrestrained laughter. The laughter echoed in the empty space, drawing the attention of those around him.

Moke teased, "Then why don't you give this Devil Fruit to your friend as a token of your sincere friendship?" His tone was somewhat playful, as if he didn't think Caesar would actually give him the Devil Fruit.

However, to everyone's surprise, Caesar didn't hesitate at all. His actions were swift and decisive, as if he had already decided to do so. He quickly took down the package, then skillfully untied the ropes on it and pulled out a Devil Fruit from inside.

The Devil Fruit emitted an alluring aroma, its smooth, glossy surface seemingly proclaiming its preciousness and rarity. However, Caesar showed no hesitation; without a second thought, he handed the Devil Fruit to Moke, declaring generously, "This is a testament to our friendship!"

Monet, Sugar, Rebecca, and Baby-5 were all stunned. They never expected Caesar to hand over this incredibly precious Devil Fruit so easily. This Devil Fruit was a treasure coveted by countless people; possessing it meant possessing immense power and endless wealth...

Moke carefully accepted the artificial Dragon-Dragon Fruit, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world. He gently handed the fruit to Rebecca, his eyes revealing an indescribable anticipation.

"This is Vegapunk's artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit type, Flood Dragon Form, and it's also the first Artificial Devil Fruit." Moke's voice was deep and full of mystery, as if this fruit hid endless secrets.

Rebecca's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. She had clearly never heard of Artificial Devil Fruit before; the concept was completely foreign to her. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to express her surprise and confusion.

"Artificial Devil Fruit?" Rebecca's voice held a hint of doubt as she asked, "Are there really artificial Devil Fruit in this world?" Her gaze was fixed on the fruit in Moke's hand, as if trying to see through its appearance to uncover the secrets hidden within.

Monet, Sugar, and Baby-5, standing to the side, exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions varying. For others, this might be a completely new concept, but for them, it was not.

A hint of surprise flashed across Monet's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She seemed to know something about this Artificial Devil Fruit, but didn't show much emotional fluctuation.

Sugar stared at the fruit with curiosity, her eyes sparkling with excitement. For this little girl who loved sweets and novelties, Artificial Devil Fruit was undoubtedly a very interesting discovery.

Baby-5's reaction was somewhat unusual. Her face first showed surprise, then turned into an expression of envy and longing. She seemed to be very interested in this Artificial Devil Fruit, perhaps because of the powerful force it represented, or because of its rarity.

The three of them were quite familiar with Artificial Devil Fruit, and not only that, they had a deep understanding of them. When they recalled the artificial Devil Fruit User of the Beast Pirates, an indescribable ripple of emotion stirred within them.

Indeed, Artificial Devil Fruit can induce changes that only Zoan Devil Fruit can produce. However, these changes are worlds apart from the effects of genuine Zoan Devil Fruit.

Sugar and Baby-5 exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly reading each other's minds. They both simultaneously recalled what Moke had said earlier—that there was a Devil Fruit perfectly suited for Rebecca. Could this Devil Fruit, the one everyone was clamoring for, be the artificial Dragon-Dragon Fruit standing before them?

But how could this so-called Artificial Devil Fruit compare to a real Zoan Devil Fruit? Moreover, it was an extremely rare Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit! Just looking at Sugar and Baby-5's expressions, one could guess what they were thinking. So, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, and said slowly, "Don't confuse this Artificial Devil Fruit with the Artificial Devil Fruit Caesar created."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "You see, this Artificial Devil Fruit isn't ordinary. It was meticulously crafted using Lineage Factor extracted from Kaido. Although... it might not be as powerful as Kaido's Azure Dragon Form, it's definitely not far behind. You could say that this Artificial Devil Fruit's power surpasses most Zoan Devil Fruit..."

His confidence was well-founded. This Artificial Devil Fruit not only allowed its user to fly, but also created Flame Clouds. During the fierce battle in Wano Country, Momonosuke used the power of this fruit to learn how to control it and quickly mastered a series of powerful techniques, such as "Bolo Breath."

Of course, initially, Momonosuke couldn't fully control the power of the Devil Fruit after eating it. Only under extreme tension or fear would he involuntarily transform into a dragon. However, that's not the point; the point is that Momonosuke was incredibly weak and useless at the time.

Of course, while this Devil Fruit is incredibly powerful, it's not without its flaws. After all, normal Zoan Devil Fruit don't have such problems. However, compared to the immense power contained within this Devil Fruit, these minor imperfections are utterly insignificant.

When they heard the phrase "made from Lineage Factor extracted from Kaido," Rebecca, Baby-5, Sugar, and Monet all widened their eyes in unison, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.

Kaido —the name was legendary to them. He was the overlord of the seas, hailed as the King of the Sea! His strength was unfathomable, possessing unparalleled power and majesty. Whether in the pirate world or throughout the entire world, Kaido's name represented absolute fear and awe.

Especially Baby-5, Sugar, and Monet, who have a relatively deep understanding of Artificial Devil Fruit, understand even more how astonishing this Devil Fruit's origin is. It's important to know that creating Artificial Devil Fruit is an extremely difficult technology in itself, and extracting Lineage Factor from a powerful being like Kaido to create Devil Fruit is an almost impossible task.

The appearance of this Devil Fruit was undoubtedly a huge shock. It not only represented a technological breakthrough, but also the birth of an unprecedented power. What kind of impact will this power have on the world?

Their gazes all fell on the Artificial Devil Fruit in Moke's hand, as if trying to see the secret hidden within it. They all knew that Kaido had eaten the Fish-Fish Fruit Devil Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form, an extremely rare Devil Fruit with immense power and unique abilities.

Could the Artificial Devil Fruit made from the Lineage Factor extracted from him... also be a dragon? This thought suddenly flashed through Rebecca's mind. If that were the case, wouldn't this Artificial Devil Fruit surpass most Zoan Devil Fruit?

For Rebecca now, Moke is undoubtedly the closest person in her life. Rebecca has always trusted everything he says without reservation. That's why, when Moke handed her the Devil Fruit, Rebecca didn't hesitate for a moment, resolutely reaching out and firmly catching the fruit.

Then, under the expectant gazes of everyone, Rebecca did not hesitate at all and decisively put the Devil Fruit into her mouth. As she chewed, the juice of the fruit overflowed in her mouth, and after a few chews, Rebecca swallowed it without hesitation.

After swallowing the Devil Fruit, Rebecca stood still like a statue, her eyes closed, intently sensing the subtle changes within her body. Time passed slowly, and everyone around her held their breath, afraid of disturbing Rebecca.

Finally, after a long while, Rebecca slowly opened her eyes. However, the instant she opened her eyes, they suddenly widened as if she had seen something astonishing.

At that moment, Rebecca suddenly Satori what kind of Devil Fruit she had just swallowed, and she also deeply understood how precious this Artificial Devil Fruit was! It was absolutely no less valuable than Zoan - Mythical Zoan!

"Boom..." With a loud bang, Rebecca's body suddenly underwent an astonishing transformation in front of everyone's expectant gaze. Her body rapidly expanded, her skin gradually covered with a thick layer of scales, her hands turned into sharp claws, and her feet into thick Dragon Claw. Her head also began to deform, growing long horns and sharp teeth.

In the blink of an eye, Rebecca transformed into a gigantic dragon right before everyone's eyes!

"It really is a dragon?!?!" Baby-5, Sugar, and Monet's eyes widened like saucers, their faces filled with disbelief. Although they had suspected Rebecca's transformation, the shock of witnessing Rebecca turn into a dragon far exceeded their expectations.

Shocked, the three couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. After all, such a scene was too unbelievable; even seeing it with their own eyes, it was hard to completely believe. However, while they were still immersed in astonishment, something even more unexpected happened— Rebecca's figure suddenly began to shrink rapidly, transforming from a dragon back into her Hybrid Form in the blink of an eye.

"This... this really is Artificial Devil Fruit???" Baby-5, Sugar, and Monet looked at each other, their jaws practically dropping to the floor in shock. They stared wide-eyed at Rebecca in disbelief, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.

How long does it take to get from Marine Headquarters to Four Emperors's Blackbeard, Hachinosu? Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru have been sailing for quite some time and have only just arrived. With Vegapunk revealing the truth about the world, Sengoku is even more excited and restless, eager to rescue Garp as soon as possible before proceeding with the next step of his plan.

Although Garp was defeated by Aokiji and others, Garp life is still safe. He is currently imprisoned in the Hachinosu prison, with many thick chains binding his body to restrict Garp movements, preventing him from escaping despite his serious injuries, and waiting for Blackbeard to use his value.

However, to everyone's surprise, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's team suddenly appeared and stormed into Hachinosu, causing a huge sensation. They then arranged for other marines to go to the prison to rescue Garp, which was a feint. In the end, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru defeated several officers and quickly left, because Garp had been successfully rescued. The next step was to quickly escape Hachinosu and meet up at the planned location.

After Sengoku and his group joined Garp's group to meet up and resist, Vice Admiral Tsuru led the marines back to Marine Headquarters first. Sengoku and Garp had something to say; the two old comrades wanted to chat and analyze the upcoming situation.

When only Sengoku and Garp remained, Sengoku's demeanor instantly changed. His voice and aura shifted, becoming that of a completely different person—a Garp found utterly unfamiliar. Sengoku's tone, expression, and the projections of the Four Emperors —Shanks, Kaido, Big Mom, Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, and Ace —made it seem as if Sengoku was being controlled by Imu. Was Imu trying to use Sengoku to kill his old comrade Garp?

Garp had already sensed that Sengoku was acting strangely, and immediately became alert and went all out. However, because Garp was already seriously injured, and Sengoku's fighting power had skyrocketed after he gained a strange aura, Garp was no match for him at this moment.

Sengoku quickly dodged the attack, and even though Garp was in full Haki mode, he was still slower than Sengoku, which shows just how powerful Imu- sama, the final boss, is!

And so, Sengoku unleashed a devastating attack directly at Garp's face using a combination of Haki and the Daibutsu's Shockwave. While it's uncertain whether this strike would kill Garp, it certainly worsened Garp previous injuries, as the Shockwave caused internal damage, putting Garp at a disadvantage.

Hawkeye came looking for Blackbeard and easily overwhelmed Shiryu and Lafitte, Angel-Angel Fruit.

As the true strongest member of the Cross Guild, Hawkeye should have been one of Buggy Four Emperors, but a blunder cost him that title. Moreover, Hawkeye never intended to be one of the Four Emperors, so being the true arbiter behind the scenes is quite good for him.

Hawkeye has come to Blackbeard to discuss potential cooperation, since the Cross Guild is currently turning against the Navy. A large-scale annihilation of the Marines would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Navy. It's just unexpected that Shiryu, so lacking in martial ethics, would dare to attack Hawkeye; he's incredibly audacious.

Shiryu's initiative backfired, leaving him bleeding from Hawkeye's Black Blade, Yoru, Meito even showed signs of damage. Is this Hawkeye's true fighting power? Moreover, his swordsmanship is even more astonishing; he can unleash devastating power with just a swing of his Black Blade, Yoru.

With just a simple, ordinary attack, Lafitte's Angel-Angel Fruit power wings bled profusely, and his expression was quite disheveled. The next moment, he was instantly knocked away, swept away along with Shiryu by Hawkeye's powerful impact, demonstrating the vast difference in their strength.

Their understanding of Artificial Devil Fruit was completely different from what they were seeing. Normally, eating Artificial Devil Fruit would only result in the appearance of animal features, such as wings, a tail, or claws. But Rebecca's transformation far exceeded their expectations. She could not only transform into a giant dragon but also instantly revert to human form—an ability that was simply beyond human comprehension.

Countless questions flashed through the three of them's minds: What's so special about this Artificial Devil Fruit? How does it grant such powerful transformation abilities? And will this transformation have any adverse effects on Rebecca's body?

Just as the three were lost in thought, Rebecca had completely reverted to human form. She was panting heavily, as if the transformation had taken a toll on her energy. However, her face was beaming with excitement and joy, clearly very satisfied with the abilities she had just displayed, such as growing ears and a tail. But Rebecca's transformation was so peculiar—she could freely switch between dragon and Hybrid Form —it was truly bizarre!

Countless questions flashed through the three women's minds in an instant: What exactly is this fruit? What is its principle? Why does it have such a magical effect? All of this left them confused and puzzled.

In reality, there are certain limitations to the improvement of abilities for users. However, Rebecca has demonstrated a unique and remarkable ability. She can not only transform into a beast in her full form, but also into a half-beast, which is undoubtedly a very rare and powerful ability.

This special ability sparked deep thought: how is it different from a true Devil Fruit? The answer might be yes, or it might be no. Just as everyone was pondering this, a "whoosh..." sound suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of Baby-5, Sugar, and Monet. They all turned their gazes to Caesar, as if in that instant, they had realized something important.

At that moment, they seemed to Satori that the key to the problem was not the Artificial Devil Fruit themselves, but the person who created them— Caesar. He clearly did not have the ability to create truly high-quality fruits; what he created were merely defective products.

At the same time, all three couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Vegapunk, who was hailed as the world's greatest scientist. Compared to Caesar, Vegapunk's abilities were clearly superior, and the Devil Fruit he created were undoubtedly more outstanding. Caesar, the former second-best scientist, was simply not on the same level as Vegapunk.

Moke was quite satisfied with the result, nodding slightly in agreement. However, deep down, he knew that this Artificial Devil Fruit was still quite different from Kaido's. After all, Kaido possessed the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form, while this Artificial Devil Fruit was merely a Flood Dragon.

One is a genuine dragon, and not only that, it's a revered divine beast, its status and position absolutely supreme; the other, however, is merely a serpentine dragon, worlds apart from the former. Yet, unexpectedly, the power of this Artificial Devil Fruit is astonishing. Anyone with even a modicum of martial arts skill, once they consume this fruit, can instantly transform into a top-tier powerhouse capable of Hakai. This unparalleled power undoubtedly possesses an irresistible allure for those who crave strength.

"That's amazing..." Rebecca couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After all, as the owner of this Artificial Devil Fruit, she was undoubtedly the one who could most deeply feel its terrifying power. At that moment, her heart was overwhelmed with endless excitement and joy, so much so that she couldn't control her emotions at all and jumped up happily like a child.

Her gaze fell on Moke, her eyes revealing deep gratitude towards him. This gratitude instantly transformed into intense affection, causing her to disregard the gazes of everyone present and rush into Moke's arms like an Inazuma.

Then, something even more astonishing happened— Rebecca actually took the initiative and gave her a deep kiss! This action left everyone present speechless, but Moke was not surprised at all; he naturally gave Rebecca a passionate response.

Their lips were pressed tightly together, as if time had stood still. Their kiss lasted a long time, so long that they almost forgot everything around them.
