After saying that, Huayue got up and walked away into the distance.

"Since we've run into them, I'll make an exception and show you something interesting. Come with me."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of questions, except for Roger, whose eyes lit up and who followed excitedly.

"What fun things are there to do with Huayue?"

The sound faded into the distance. When Rayleigh and Jabba saw their captain following, they exchanged a glance and helplessly shrugged.

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Wait, First Mate, is there any danger? Wait!"

Buggy was on the verge of tears when Shanks patted him heavily on the shoulder and slowly shook his head.

"Save your energy. Once the captain has made up his mind, even a pirate ship can't change it. Hurry up and catch up, or they'll leave you behind."

Whitebeard waved his hand, and Marco, feeling utterly helpless, could only call out to his men and quickly follow.

After a while, in the center of the island.

Amidst lush, verdant grass, a deep, dark corridor slowly rises from the heart of a desolate grassland, revealing a hidden passageway.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's this? A mysterious secret base?"

"No wonder we haven't been able to detect Uchiha Huayue's presence. These building materials can isolate Observation Haki, making it feel completely different from the surrounding environment."

"Come to think of it, this guy is a scientist, he doesn't look like a pirate at all..."

Whoosh! Boom...

A blood-red light suddenly exploded, and plumes of dust rose in the distance. Rayleigh and Jabba exchanged a glance, then picked up their weapons and gave chase.

Upon seeing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Whitebeard's eyes.

"There's no trace of domineering aura, so what kind of power is it? A special weapon?"

A moment later, in a spacious, white hall, in contrast to the soft lighting, stood a dark figure battling Roger.

"Divine Departure!"

"Cero of the King..."

A deafening explosion tore through the air, and cold, black hands transformed into sharp blades, creating countless afterimages in the blink of an eye, which also brought a look of excitement to Roger's eyes.

"Interesting, what other tricks does this guy have up his sleeve?"

The next second, two crimson slashes overlapped, causing Vista, the Flower Vista behind Whitebeard, to look horrified.

"Flying Slash Attack! That guy isn't human, yet he can use a Flying Slash Attack. How is that possible? Is he some kind of strange race?"

That's all.

Upon hearing the sound, the dark figure stopped under the watchful eyes of hundreds of pirates. The eyes beneath the white mask were cold and ruthless, and the hollow in the center was particularly striking.

Only then did everyone notice that behind the humanoid figure were eight cold, black spikes resembling blades, their colors vibrant and slightly dizzying.

"The speed is good, and the combination of Lineage Factor and spiritual particles is also effective. Zoan-type Mythical Zoan can greatly enhance physical enhancement capabilities, which is a good match for the Void."

"The Flying Slash Attack is not much different from Cero, but the effect of using spirit particles is 50% weaker than that of Haki. Ultimately, this world is not a world made of spirit particles..."

At this moment, Rayleigh stood subtly beside Roger, giving him a signal with his eyes.

"This guy is really tough to deal with. Not only is his skin incredibly tough, but he can also regenerate automatically, as if he's immortal..."

"Hey, Huayue, where did you find this guy? He's as strong as a monster."

Huayue, who was silently recording data, didn't even look up. When she spoke, everyone was stunned.

"You mean this guy? Hollow Black, he's a manufactured subordinate, made using the Lineage Factor of Devil Fruit Ability User, and some strange negative byproducts."

"This guy is the Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Lineage Factor of Jaigolusia Satan, one of the Five Elders. I obtained the research cost from a scientist named Vegapunk, which saved me a lot of effort."

Glug glug...

Everyone swallowed hard and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of nonsense is this guy talking about? Can Devil Fruit Ability User really create one?"

"Is he crazy, or are we crazy? There can only be one Devil Fruit, isn't that an ironclad rule of the sea? How can this be..."

"It's fake, it's absolutely fake! How could anyone create Devil Fruit Ability User!"

The pen paused slightly, and Huayue looked up, giving an order to Hollow Black beside her.

"Black, in the form of Gyuki."

In the blink of an eye, a ferocious, murderous Gyuki appeared before everyone, its upper body covered in a pale, bony bull-head mask and eight jet-black limbs extending outwards.

"Stop looking down on me, pirates. Why do you think you're unique and that I can easily make copies of you whenever I want? That's the beauty of science, understand?"

"Memory, blood type, emotions, personality, strength... I can replicate any kind of life as long as I want, as long as it still relies on flesh and blood and the blueprint of life."

Marco there, stunned, muttering to himself.

"What a madman! Is this the true face of the Sea's Chosen?"

"No, I just discriminate against all guys who don't respect science, especially those who are simple-minded and have bad character."

Behind the Whitebeard Pirates, Marshall D. Teach's face showed greed, Gyuki beside him made him look longing.

"Mr. Huayue, does that mean all Devil Fruit Ability User can create them? Then Logia can do it too?"

At that moment, Huayue glanced to the side, her Rinnegan flashing a deep blue, and she saw some subtle glimpses of the future.

"I don't know. Logia Ability User are too rare. I haven't met many. If you do, please let me know. Currently, my experimental samples are only Zoan and Paramecia Type, and the success rate is 100%."

The next second, a miniature Den Den Mushi was tossed into Marshall D. Teach's hand, bringing a bright smile to his face.

"Thanks! I'll definitely tell you if I ever run into one, hahaha..."

Roger was fiddling with something next to Hollow Black, his face full of curiosity.

"If you have contracted any incurable disease, you can try contacting me. Perhaps I can give you a chance to live. That's all, goodbye."

To everyone's astonishment, a dazzling light suddenly erupted. When they opened their eyes again, the deserted island had vanished, and they had been transported to their pirate ship.

A lonely island suspended in the sky above the New World.

"This is what they call an Xenomorph? An Xenomorph capable of consuming multiple Devil Fruit, interesting..."

"Have I been too silent for too long? In the blink of an eye, even the Golden Lion was defeated by Roger. What do you think, my knights...?"

In the shadows, figures clad in black cloaks, resembling standard military uniforms, opened their eyes, exuding an inexplicable killing intent and unwavering resolve.

"Well then, let's go explore other places. Hopefully, we can find a suitable individual. How about we go see Vegapunk?"
