Onigashima, a research base.
Two days have passed since the Devil Fruit was successfully extracted.
The success of the experiment excited the members of the Roy Pirates.
With this technology, the Roy Pirates will no longer have to worry about Devil Fruit.
Roy also plans to capture Blackbeard in the future to explore the secret behind Blackbeard's ability to eat three Devil Fruit.
If they successfully transplant Blackbeard's Bloodline Transplantation, which allows him to consume three Devil Fruits, then the Roy Pirates could truly challenge the World Government.
When the time comes, it won't be a problem for Roy to sit on the throne of the King of the World!
After all, compared to the vast world of One Piece, those undiscovered Devil Fruit are extremely rare.
Those with special abilities are quite easy to find.
The success of the experiment was like a reassurance to the Roy Pirates, and it ignited everyone's boundless imagination for the future.
In the lounge next to the training field, the teammates sat together, discussing something in a lively atmosphere.
"Boss, do you think we could go out and 'hunt' those people with special abilities from now on?"
"Take all their abilities and make them ours!"
Savi's eyes lit up, and he waved his arms.
"Things like Logia and Mythical Zoan sound really powerful!"
"Yeah, boss!"
"I want a Mythical Zoan too!" Enel excitedly chimed in.
"My physique is still too weak. No matter how much I train, I can't catch up to that guy Savi!"
Hey! Enel, have you been slacking off during your training?!
Tesoro chuckled and put his arm around Enel's shoulder.
Enel, whose shoulder was being put to his side, blushed deeply upon hearing this.
"You damn Inazuma!"
"I didn't slack off. Of course, Logia body isn't as strong as Zoan."
"Even without using your Devil Fruit power, you couldn't defeat Savi with your physique."
"Whispering sound!"
"Why wouldn't I use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
"Why don't I use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!" (Continue)
Tesoro released Enel, exaggeratingly spreading his hands.
Therefore, Devil Fruit abilities are inherently part of one's strength.
If I could Awakening again, I might even be able to defeat Bullet!
"Hey, Tesoro,"
Bullet had just returned after disappearing for two days and having just finished his battle with Kaido, overheard Tesoro's words.
Do you want to try it now?
Haha, just kidding!
Tesoro quickly turned around, and after recognizing Bullet, he waved his hands repeatedly.
Just kidding, Tesoro, who had spent so much time together on the ship, certainly knew how terrifying Bullet was.
Bullet still smelled of gunpowder and had minor wounds, but his spirits were unusually high. He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"A joke? It doesn't sound like a joke to me."
As he spoke, he cracked his neck, making a snapping sound, and slowly walked towards Tesoro.
Tesoro broke out in a cold sweat, and his feet involuntarily took a half step back.
"Brother Bullet, I meant after I Awakening... I definitely can't beat you now!"
"Oh?"
Bullet raised an eyebrow.
"So that means you'll actually have your own ideas after you Awakening?"
"No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Tesoro denied it three times in a row, then looked to Roy for help, "Boss, look at him..."
The atmosphere in the lounge shifted from a relaxed discussion to a slightly tense yet amusing one.
Savi and Enel, along with the other children, huddled to one side, looking on with amusement.
Roy shook his head helplessly. These two guys, one a battle maniac and the other a loose tongue, were bound to cause trouble when they got together.
"Alright, Bullet,"
Roy stepped in to defuse the situation.
"You just finished fighting Kaido, aren't you satisfied yet?"
Bullet then stopped and turned to look at Roy, his eyes still gleaming with the excitement of battle.
" Kaido is really something! They fought for two whole days, and in the end, neither could gain the upper hand, so it was a draw."
Bullet walked to the table, grabbed a large bucket of water, gulped it down, wiped his mouth,
"However, this time I had a new idea about the fusion of ' Demonic Aura ' and Conqueror's Haki Coating."
If we could Awakening the Mythical Zoan as well...
Bullet's eyes gleamed; he was clearly already devising a new move.
Tesoro breathed a sigh of relief and quietly moved behind Stella.
Roy walked over to Bullet and assessed his condition.
"I've expended a lot of energy, and I have several hidden injuries. I'll have Vera treat them first, and then rest for half a day before continuing my cultivation."
Bullet waved his hand dismissively. "It's just a minor injury, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"That's an order."
Roy's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Bullet paused, then finally nodded.
"Okay. By the way, what were you guys discussing just now? I think I heard something about 'hunting ability users' when I came in?"
Savi immediately became excited again.
"Big Brother Bullet!"
"We successfully extracted the Devil Fruit! It's the ' Clone-Clone Fruit ' that we captured from CP0 before!"
The boss said that from now on we can specifically target those powerful ability users and turn their Devil Fruits into ours!
Bullet's eyes lit up.
"Oh? It worked? Where's the fruit?"
Roy took the grayish-white fruit covered in spiral patterns from his pocket and handed it to Bullet.
"Here it is," Pea, taking the fruit out of her storage bag.
Bullet took the fruit and looked at the label on it.
" The Clone-Clone Fruit... that sounds like a support-type fruit."
He tossed the fruit back to the Pea.
"That would be really exciting if we could get our hands on Logia or a powerful Mythical Zoan."
"Which Logia or Mythical Zoan Fruit user isn't a top-tier powerhouse on the high seas?"
Hawk Eyes said calmly from the side,
"Hunting them is as risky as rewarding."
"High risk, high reward!"
"Alright!" Roy interrupted their conversation.
"We'll talk about hunting Devil Fruit users later, and we'll keep the news that we can extract Devil Fruit to ourselves."
Roy's gaze swept over everyone present, his tone serious.
This matter is known only to the few of us in this room.
Even with the PhD student, we only informed him of the 'successful extraction' result, without revealing the specific process or feasibility.
Everyone's expression tightened, realizing the sensitivity of the matter.
Stella pushed up her glasses.
"The boss is right."
If the outside world knew we possessed this technology, all the ability users in the New World would consider us their mortal enemies.
The World Government will do anything to destroy us.
Tesoro also dropped his joking expression.
"We might not even be able to completely trust Kaido's side..."
After all, who can guarantee he doesn't have designs on us? What if he wants more...?
"It's not that serious!" Roy shook his head, looking at the serious-looking group.
"Our alliance with Kaido is still very close, and besides, Kaido's goals are almost identical to ours."
However, we must always be cautious; all future operations involving this technology must be kept strictly confidential.
"Clear!"
