Come, Repeat After Me: ROOM

Dangerous—that was Trafalgar Law's first impression.

The guy in front of him was extremely dangerous. Even though Law wanted to wallow in grief at this moment, the person who wanted to use his life to perform the Perennial Youth Operation was countless times more dangerous Doflamingo.

Even the Fleet Admiral cowered in his presence, and Doflamingo could only be described as a 'brat.' This guy...

"What are you talking about? Doflamingo wasn't captured by the Fleet Admiral and imprisoned in Impel Down? How could that be..."

"Why not? As long as Doflamingo demonstrates his irreplaceable usefulness to the Fleet Admiral's superiors, namely the Five Elders, the nominal supreme rulers of the World Government, why wouldn't he be released?"

With great interest, Huayue smiled brightly as she looked at Luo before her. This guy was the key to unlocking the path to immortality, and he possessed extremely rare value, as well as being widely available and replicable.

"How so!"

Seeing Luo's incredulous expression, even though the Fleet Admiral was Corazon-san's adoptive father, it was still impossible to keep Doflamingo in the Impel Down forever.

"The Navy's justice is malleable. The definition of justice is firmly in the hands of the World Government. You can also call this power to define justice the final interpretation right."

"The Navy listens to the World Government, and the World Government listens to the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons. Your Corazon-san probably didn't tell you that he and his brother Donquixote Doflamingo were once the world's nobles, descendants of the Creator, the Celestial Dragons."

At that moment, Luo's pupils trembled; the news exploded in his ears.

Such a gentle man, who was once Celestial Dragons, was something Law could hardly imagine.

"So let's make a deal, Trafalgar D. Vatier Rowe. I will give you the power to take revenge, and once you've cured your Amber Lead Disease, you'll give me your blood factor."

"Blood... my blood? What do you need my blood for?"

Luo looked bewildered, while Baby 5 recovered from her sobbing, her big, dark eyes blinking with curiosity.

"It's strange. In the Outer Sea, Ability User are unique, but in front of Dr. Vegapunk, the world's best scientist, Ability User are no longer unique."

"At least Zoan Devil Fruit can be copied, and Paramecia Devil Fruit can also have their Lineage Factor copied through a certain method called ' Green Blood '."

"By the way, Devil Fruit are divided into Zoan, Paramecia Type, and Logia. This is common knowledge, and you should all know it, since you two little ones are both Paramecia Type Ability User."

The words that came out of Huayue's mouth shocked Luo and baby5's young hearts.

"You mean, you want to copy the power of the Ope Ope no Mi and somehow grant others eternal life?"

Seeing that Luo seemed to understand but not quite, Huayue smiled and nodded, resting her chin on her hand.

"Of course, compared to you learning basic medical knowledge and gradually deepening your surgical experience, it would be infinitely more convenient to directly instill all surgical experience and knowledge into the mind of an artificial organism."

"I've always been fair. You give me your blood factor, and I'll give you everything you need for combat, the medical books you require, and I'll send you back to North Blue at the appropriate time..."

"Furthermore, you have no choice but to trust me. This is Calm Belt island; without wind, sailboats and rafts cannot move forward at all unless you can tame all the Sea King."

After a long while, realizing that all his options were blocked and he could only watch helplessly as he moved forward according to his plan, Trafalgar Law was filled with resentment, and the arrogant look in his eyes, honed from being surrounded by corpses, became even more pronounced.

"You bastard, aren't you afraid I'll learn everything you have? Aren't you afraid I'll defeat you someday?!"

"If you can do it, I would be very happy to welcome it. After all, I haven't encountered anyone who can defeat me in decades, and I really hope to encounter some surprises."

Trafalgar Law's confident and in control expression further fueled his rebellious spirit. He nodded emphatically, his smile defiant.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you. Just like in the Donquixote Family, I will absorb all your knowledge and repay you and Doflamingo for your failure to save Corazon."

Huayue's smile remained unchanged as she slowly raised her left hand, palm down.

"The deal is done. Now, let's have our first lesson: the power of the Ope Ope no Mi. As a doctor, you naturally need your own operating room. Imagine yourself in an operating room and repeat after me, ROOM."

After a moment's hesitation, Luo followed suit.

"ROOM!"

A hurricane suddenly appeared in his hand, and a surgical space of only a few meters in size unfolded. All sorts of strange sensations arose, making Luo unable to help but become intoxicated by it.

"This is the power of the Ope Ope no Mi? In that case, let's cut!"

As soon as he opened his domain, Luo couldn't wait to pick up the golden dagger scattered among the treasures and brandish his still-ungrown fangs at the unreachable entity before him.

Whoosh!

As the blade flashed, Baby5 floated into the air, her upper and lower body separated.

"Waaaaaah! I'm going to die, I'm going to die! No! I haven't found anyone who needs me yet... Wait, I'm not dead..."

"Of course you're not dead. This is just a scalpel a doctor uses to examine patients; how could it cause death?"

During the conversation, Baby5, who was floating in mid-air, was pulled to Huayue's side, and the cuts on her upper and lower body were aligned and pressed directly against her.

"Wow! That's amazing, I'm back to normal!"

Aside from the startled baby5, Luo was dumbfounded. His scalpel was supposed to be cutting into this guy's body, so why was there no reaction?

"You... how is this possible? I was in charge of this operating room, how could you possibly resist me..."

"Lesson Two: If your Haki is strong enough, it can completely erase the power of Devil Fruit, whether it's Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki. Remember this well, kid: Haki is everything, and the Devil Fruit is just an aid."

"The upcoming lessons may be tough, you've already felt it, haven't you? Hunger, unprecedented hunger. Whether it's the Ope Ope no Mi or Haki, stamina is the first element of battle."

With a thud, Luo, still immersed in excitement and astonishment, collapsed to the ground, exhausted from the intense physical exertion.

"That little rascal who can't wait to get his new toy, he must be exhausted..."

Meanwhile, in Mariejois, in Pangaea Castle, in the meeting room of the Five Elders.

Bahru bahru bah...

"Five Elders, this is CP9 Who's Who, I've stolen the Gum-Gum Fruit!"
