SMILE Artificial Devil Fruit!
"Clap, clap!"
Doflamingo clapped his palms, and his subordinates immediately carried a cage forward. Imprisoned inside was a bizarre creature with the upper body of a human and the elephant legs of a beast.
It looked just like a combination of a beast and a human.
"Bang!"
The elephant-leg man kicked the cell, bending and distorting the iron bars. The formidable strength made the gazes of quite a few Shinuchi burn with enthusiasm.
Kaido's breathing also grew a bit heavy, leaving only a few words in his mind.
Artificial Devil Fruit!
Mass production!
Devil Fruit User Army!
If the other party was not lying to him, Hanafuda's death was not a problem at all, and the weapons trade could also be handed over to the other party to manage.
His greatest dream was to assemble the strongest army in the world and wage an unprecedented war!
"Fuffuffuffu!"
Doflamingo wore a smiling face.
Seeing Kaido's reaction, he knew this was locked down. The value of SMILE was enough to make Kaido agree to all his demands.
However, there was still one step to take.
Doflamingo picked up a SMILE fruit.
"Fuffu, want to try the effect?"
Inspection segment!
For such an important transaction, it was only natural to verify the efficacy of SMILE. On-site inspection yielded the best results.
The crowd stirred.
The powerhouses disdained it, but those Shinuchi lacking in talent would definitely not let go of an opportunity that could strengthen them.
"Heavenly Yaksha, you said that eating this thing has a certain probability of gaining power. If it fails, what will the consequence be?"
"Fuffuffuffu!"
Doflamingo smiled contortedly: "The success rate of eating SMILE to gain power is only one in ten, and the end of failure is just like its name-expressions will only remain as a smile!"
"..."
Expressions will only remain as a smile?
The Shinuchi looked at each other, corners of their mouths parting.
It was merely losing facial expressions, not counting as much of a risk at all. In the Beasts Pirates, strength was the standard to measure everything.
The Shinuchi looked at Kaido, waiting for the boss to speak.
"Worororo, very good!"
Kaido laughed loudly, rising abruptly.
"Who will be the first!"
"Me!"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the executives, Good walked to the center of the hall first, snatching the SMILE from Doflamingo's hand.
The Shinuchi were not in a hurry.
With someone acting as the first test subject, they were too happy for words, let alone that there were ten fruits; scrambling for them later would still be in time.
"Good?"
Kaido furrowed his brows.
Regarding Good, he had already decided to cultivate him as a priority. If he had the chance in the future, he could find a real Devil Fruit for Good.
The expressions of the All-Stars also changed.
Especially King.
Queen didn't think it was a big deal and sneered: "Muhahaha, you stupid King, I didn't expect you to misjudge someone too."
"Shut up, trash Queen."
King gazed at Good, his gaze profound.
Ever since the battle at the Hot Spring Shop, he thought very highly of Good's potential, but if Good ate an Artificial Devil Fruit, it would undoubtedly be cutting off his own future.
Only weaklings lacking in talent would grow stronger through shortcuts.
"Good!"
Ulti widened her eyes, wanting to stop him.
The success rate was only one in ten, and it would turn one into a comical monster. Failure would make one nothing more than a laughing fool.
No matter how one looked at it, it wasn't worth it!
The girl grabbed the younger brother beside her and shook him hard: "Little Pei, think of a way to stop Good quickly!"
"Mi zhi dao, kuai song hou."
Page One was shaken until he was dizzy.
At this moment, Good held the fruit and calmly asked Kaido: "Boss Kaido, may I eat it?"
"Worororo, go ahead!"
Kaido did not stop him.
Since he wanted to eat it, then eat!
He wanted to see what kind of surprise Good would bring him.
"Thank you, Boss Kaido!"
Good smiled slightly, and under everyone's gaze, opened his bloody mouth and swallowed the fruit in his hand in one gulp.
"Gulp!"
The round fruit slid down his throat into his belly.
He actually ate it!
Everyone widened their eyes, waiting for the change that was about to take place: would he turn into a monster to gain power, or become a laughing fool?
Good licked his lips.
At this moment inside his body, little Groudon was hugging the SMILE and frantically chewing on it, its facial features all crumpled together seemingly because the taste was too bad.
"Ptui!"
The little fellow spat out its tongue while eating. Once it finished eating the fruit entirely, it immediately signaled to Good with longing. That sense of urgency was the first time since its birth.
"Wa wa (want more, evolution)!!!"
The little fellow wanted to evolve?!
Then he had to go all out!
Inside the hall, Good reined in his smile, lowered his head to look at himself in puzzlement, and then tried making various expressions.
"No change at all!"
Good sighed in disappointment, then turned around to face Doflamingo with a solemn expression, and questioned: "Mr. Doflamingo, could this fruit of yours have gone bad?"
"Ah?!"
Doflamingo froze.
The fruit went bad?
Impossible, this batch of fruits had just been cultivated.
Wait.
Doflamingo subconsciously looked at Kaido, and when he saw Kaido's increasingly gloomy expression, cold sweat instantly broke out.
Mr. Kaido, please let me explain!
Watching Good, who showed no changes at all after eating the Artificial Fruit, the banquet hall's atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Clang!"
The Shinuchi angrily drew their weapons!
"Bastard, how dare you deceive us!"
"Skin them alive!"
"Boss Kaido, we can't let them off!"
They were just waiting for Boss Kaido's command, and they would hack this bunch of scum who dared to deceive the Beasts into minced meat!
The Donquixote Family members were scared stiff in hands and feet, cold sweat pouring down as they hurried forward to protect Doflamingo in the center.
What is going on?!
In Dressrosa, they had personally tested the effects of SMILE, and the test subjects who ate SMILE were not just single cases.
Either they acquired the power of beasts, or they turned into laughing fools; in short, there was no third option.
But how was the situation before them to be explained?
Could it really have gone bad!
"Please wait!"
Right at that moment, Good suddenly spoke up.
Good looked at Doflamingo.
"Mr. Heavenly Yaksha, I have heard that it is absolutely impossible for a person to consume two Devil Fruits. Therefore, I want to ask, what happens if someone eats two SMILEs?"
"They will die!"
Doflamingo's face was gloomy.
"Understood!"
Good nodded, turned to face Kaido, and said in a deep voice: "Boss Kaido, please let me eat another one to try. If I die, it proves that these Artificial Devil Fruits are real. If I don't die, then just now must have been an accident!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.
No one expected that Good would actually risk his life!
Kaido gazed at Good.
To verify the authenticity of SMILE, he was willing to wager his life. Such a loyal subordinate existed in few numbers across the entire Beasts.
Good! Good! Good!
If this brat didn't die, a position among the Flying Six would definitely be his!
"Worororo!"
Kaido laughed heartily as he gulped down some wine, then tossed the flask in his hand to Good.
The meaning was self-evident.
"Thank you, Boss Kaido!"
Good caught the flask, guzzling down mouthfuls of wine until he drank all the liquid, directly flinging the flask behind him.
"Bang!"
The flask embedded itself into the wall!
The next moment, Good picked up another SMILE!
This time, even the members of the Doflamingo family were terrified, alarmed not only by the worry of whether SMILE would take effect, but also by their awe of Good.
