In the Skeleton Hell.
Magellan was led by Anduin to a room full of scientific instruments.
A short while later.
Andy and his son, Luo, also arrived here through the Garganta.
"Is he the target of the treatment?" Andy adjusted his glasses and sized up Magellan.
Anduin nodded. "It's him. The side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit have caused him to suffer from chronic gastrointestinal problems."
Luo raised his hand and instantly activated his ability to scan Magellan's body.
Andy, meanwhile, took several vials of blood from Magellan's arm vein and used his Devil Fruit powers to perform pathological analysis.
The examination on Luo's side leaned towards surgery, so it was completed quickly.
"Not only is he experiencing gastrointestinal problems, but other organs in his body are also showing varying degrees of damage. The side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit are indeed terrifying."
Meanwhile, Andy had also completed the pathological analysis. He frowned deeply. "Some of his cells have mutated and can secrete toxins on their own. This is very likely due to the Venom-Venom Fruit's genetic modification of the ability user. It involves genetics, which is extremely troublesome."
"Is it that serious?" Magellan hadn't expected his condition to be so severe.
Andy continued to explain, " The Venom-Venom Fruit is a hybrid of Superhuman and creation. While it grants immunity to most toxins, you cannot completely control them until the fruit Awakening, leading to chronic poisoning."
Luo also analyzed, "Although dialysis can remove the toxins from your body, it's only a temporary solution, since your own cells are constantly producing toxins."
The father and son were also stumped by the unique side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit.
Anduin, standing nearby, chuckled and reminded him, "Law, Andy, why don't you try a different approach? Since the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit are so severe, why not extract the fruit and then use Venom-Venom Fruit to create Gene Armor?"
"Huh? That's actually a good method." Luo realized instantly.
Andy shook his head. "That's not enough. If that's all, Magellan won't be able to continue using the Venom Gene Armor, since he lost the Venom-Venom Fruit and is no longer immune to poison."
"Father, perhaps we could consider the technology from the Vinsmoke, and combine it with the Gene Armor technology to give the Gene Armor extremely strong poison resistance."
Andy added, "Just in case, how about adding an insect-type Zoan Devil Fruit?"
"That's fine too."
The two quickly finalized the modification and treatment plan.
Magellan and Domino, however, were completely confused.
However, the two of them still managed to understand some of the words.
Domino was shocked. "Dr. Andy! Dr. Law! Is it really possible to change the Devil Fruit?"
Andy nodded. "Yes, the organization's technology is very advanced and absolutely safe. You don't need to worry."
"Don't worry, Domino. Noah has no reason to harm me. After all, if he wanted to kill me, it wouldn't be this complicated." Magellan saw things clearly, then turned to look at Law and Andy:
"Gentlemen, I trust you. Let's proceed with your plan!"
Andy took out the modified touchscreen projection Den Den Mushi and accessed the organization's inventory of Devil Fruit. Currently, the organization has a total of 83 unused Devil Fruit.
He selected the insect-type Zoan.
" Magellan, pick an insect you like, and we'll change it for you later."
Magellan looked at the six insect-type Devil Fruit on the projection and examined them carefully.
These six insect-type Devil Fruit are: Wasp Fruit, Black Widow Fruit, Flea Fruit, Cricket Fruit, Millipede Fruit, and Locust Fruit.
"I choose the Locust Fruit!"
Andy asked again, "Are you sure? Although it can be replaced, once the fruit is replaced, the fruit development process will have to start all over again."
"Yes, I'll choose the Locust Fruit."
"Then I'll inform Lord Noah to send the fruit over." Andy picked up the phone and reported the situation to Noah.
A short while later, a small box was Teleportation through the Garganta.
Andy also chose one from among the prisoners in Impel Down.
Let's begin!
The prisoner, whose prefrontal lobe had been cut off, ate the Locust Fruit and then signed the Devil Contract with Magellan.
In an instant, Magellan felt the toxins in his body begin to spiral out of control, clearly indicating that the Venom-Venom Fruit within him had been removed.
However, Andy was prepared. He immediately activated the power of the Sick-Sick Fruit to extract all the remaining toxins from Magellan's body.
As the Locust Fruit merged into Magellan's body, his cells, which had been modified by the Venom-Venom Fruit, returned to normal, replaced by the powerful body of Zoan user.
Luo casually injected a large bottle of life-saving potion into Magellan's body.
Magellan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body was gradually getting hot. However, an incredibly relaxed feeling was also spreading throughout his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
Luo and Andy divided the work.
They began by implanting poison resistance genes into the original version of the Gene Armor, and then fused the Venom-Venom Fruit with the customized version of the Gene Armor.
Three days later.
The Venom Gene Armor has been completed.
Magellan also began to adapt to the various abilities of the Locust Fruit.
The Locust Fruit a wide range of abilities, including strength, flight, jumping, saw-like legs, toxins and poison resistance, as well as remarkable adaptability.
Anduin found Magellan at the training grounds.
" Magellan, your Gene Armor is finished, come and try it out!"
"Oh?" Magellan flew over quickly.
Looking at the purple egg, about the size of an ostrich egg, in Anduin's hand, he examined it curiously. "Is this the Gene Armor? How come it's an egg?"
"This is the initial form of the Gene Armor. You need to undergo a blood oath ceremony to become one with it."
Magellan made a small cut on his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the surface of the purple egg.
In an instant, the purple egg absorbed the drop of blood.
Soon, the purple egg turned into a pool of thick, purple paste, and then it stretched out countless tentacles, wrapping around Magellan.
Magellan was startled.
"Don't be nervous, relax."
As the purple, paste-like Gene Armor gradually merged into Magellan's body, he also felt a peculiar fluctuation connecting to his brain, as if his body were wearing a special set of armor.
"I see, no wonder it's called Gene Armor."
Magellan calmed down and began to try out the various abilities of the Venom-Venom Fruit.
" Poison Dragon!"
" Poison Blowfish!"
" Poison Road!"
" Hell's Judgment!"
In terms of scale, precision of manipulation, and toxicity, it is almost the same as before.
However, its battery life is much better than before.
Because the cells of the Gene Armor are based on giants and Sea Kings, and are infused with a large amount of life force, they can temporarily replenish their strength by overdrawing their life force when food is scarce in the outside world.
Under normal circumstances, the Gene Armor can also obtain energy by consuming food.
Therefore, the physical reserves of the Gene Armor are much greater than those of the previous Magellan.
Even if the life force of the Gene Armor cells is completely drained, it doesn't really matter. At worst, the fruit can be scrapped, recycled, and a new set can be manufactured.
After testing the Gene Armor, Magellan grew increasingly awestruck by the Liberator Organization's strength.
However, he also thought of something else, " Anduin, is the lifespan of this Gene Armor over a thousand years?"
"That's natural."
Magellan quickly suggested, "If that's the case, we can completely transform all the Devil Fruits of those Devil Fruit users in Impel Down into Gene Armor. This would avoid the trouble of Devil Fruit randomly regenerating after a user dies, and it would also reduce the manpower and resources needed to guard the prisoners."
