A few more days had passed since Sephiroth returned to Sky Island. As always, he went about his daily work and activities, occasionally switching between his identities as the "Great Angel" and "Shining," giving the outside world the impression that everything was normal.
Today, Sephiroth visited the Devil Fruit User containment area beneath Babylon Temple.
Sephiroth walked ahead, followed by PX-0 in a loose white hooded robe that covered him from head to toe, completely concealing his figure.
Four Artificial Angel guards lined both sides of the corridor and saluted in unison as Sephiroth approached.
"My lord."
Sephiroth nodded, sweeping his gaze over the containment rooms farther down the corridor.
The underground containment area beneath Babylon Temple held four special Devil Fruit Users: Doc Q, Lafitte, Carmel, and the Teleportation Fruit user. Each had a separate room, its metal door shut tight, with a monitoring screen set beside it.
All four were dangerous, and none had trustworthy characters or temperaments. To make containment easier, Sephiroth had lobotomized them all. Now they retained only basic self-care abilities, wore vacant expressions, and could neither resist nor think.
Today's target was Doc Q.
An Artificial Angel approached the containment room and verified her identity. The metal door slid aside.
Inside was a single room of about twenty square meters, furnished simply with a metal bed, a table and chair fixed to the floor, and a separate bathroom cubicle.
Wearing a Seastone collar, Doc Q sat on the edge of the bed, staring lifelessly at the floor. He had always looked sickly; now he seemed even more deathly.
He wore a gray-white prison uniform. At the sound of the door, he raised his head but said nothing, merely staring blankly at the entrance.
Sephiroth entered the room.
"Extract his fruit."
Blackbeard PX-0 followed him
