Chapter 136

If a low-quality artificial Zoan-type Devil Zoan were to activate its Berserk mode, I wonder if it could even compete with a genuine Zoan- Zoan Devil Fruit?

"You?"

The Golden Lion looked at Naito suspiciously.

Could this guy have made up a lie about being the King of the World to scam his project?

Chapter Ninety-Six: Clone! Baratie

Of course, the Golden Lion quickly dismissed this unfounded suspicion.

If this guy really wanted to steal my IQ, he could just kill me.

They don't even need to kill; they can just rob them. How could they possibly resist?

Could it be that this guy decided to buy the project in order to get closer to me?

Golden Lion definitely felt he had lost out.

Just over ten minutes ago, he was still firmly convinced of the opportunity to destroy the East Blue.

But now, he just feels that he shouldn't have wasted the previous fourteen years on something so stupid.

He wasted fourteen years of his life, and even poured almost all of his savings into this project.

Just to raise a pack of uncontrollable, ferocious beasts?

The Golden Lion wanted to slap himself.

I don't need your pity.

The Golden Lion snorted coldly, "It's only been fourteen years. If I can figure one thing out, it's worth it!"

"Um?"

Naito raised an eyebrow with interest. Was this guy also suffering from dementia like Imu?

What are you saying out of the blue?

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Naito smiled. "I really am useful."

Even setting aside the issue of Artificial Devil Fruit, it wouldn't be entirely impossible for them to be used by beasts.

The Millet-Millet Fruit of Tama, who was born this year, would be perfect.

If all else fails, there's always Vegapunk's Sea Beast Weapon modification technology.

The Golden Lion gave Naito a deep look. "Tsk, I feel your sincerity. If you want some, just give me a few billion Beli."

"Oh?"

Naito couldn't help but smile.

What's with this guy's self-righteous act?

He felt his sincerity, so he couldn't lose face, right?

Unauthorized misunderstandings, unauthorized emotional reactions, and unauthorized overreach.

Is he a young man in love?

"Thank you so much!"

Naito laughed and said, "How about five billion Beli? The island, the IQ, the beast, the data—give it all to me."

This is already a heavily discounted price.

Five billion?

The Golden Lion nodded almost without hesitation. "Deal."

Since those things are useless anyway, it's really not bad to sell them to him to recoup some losses, just like this guy said.

Moreover, five billion Beli is indeed a huge sum of money for him now.

Having been away from the sea for fourteen years, all the savings he had accumulated during that time were invested in experiments, leaving Golden Lion penniless.

Pirates also need money; they can't rely on plundering for everything.

"Very good."

Naito nodded in satisfaction. "Then I'll trouble you, Shiki, to send the island to the New World. My people will take over the island from you. Hmm, add another 500 million Beli for the shipping fee."

Naito is loaded!

The New World Bank, a joint venture between Du Feld and Tesoro, has officially opened, and thanks to their reputation, deposits have skyrocketed.

Money was no longer a concern for Naito.

"Tsk."

Golden Lion clicked his tongue in disbelief, "You bastard, you've got too many demands!"

Moreover, this guy is really outgoing; he called me by my first name right away.

"Wouldn't it be nice to go back and visit some old friends while we're at it?"

Naito said with great interest.

"Snort."

The Golden Lion snorted coldly.

"That's settled then, please, Shiki."

Naito was very satisfied.

In any case, Golden Lion is practically an ally now. Although he's recovered from his illness, once he completes his rehabilitation like Zephyr, he'll be able to regain 70-80% of his peak strength, making him a solid royal-level fighter.

And IQ is quite useful too.

A very fruitful experience.

Well, the initial goal of testing my own strength wasn't achieved. Oh well, Golden Lion was just too weak.

However, toying with Golden Lion, who is at least at the level of a Yonko's vice-president, like an insect, means he has at least touched the threshold of the Yonko level, right?

Furthermore, with his flashy Mimicry Projection, Naito felt that he should have no reason to be at a disadvantage against Charlotte Linlin, the disgrace of the Royal level.

Next, Naito and Shiki exchanged contact information—not Naito's phone number, of course, but Luna's.

Then, it was time to say goodbye.

"Well then, Shiki, see you in the New World."

Naito nodded slightly to the Golden Lion. "The person who will contact me after we arrive in the New World will choose the handover location."

"Etc!"

Golden Lion suddenly called out to Naito, "What exactly is your relationship with that World guy?"

Who knows?

Naito smiled softly, and in the next instant, he transformed into a white shooting star and flew towards the distant horizon.

"You pretentious bastard!"

The Golden Lion cursed.

But his gaze was quite serious.

This guy is truly extraordinary.

If World is really in cahoots with him, then his power is probably in no way inferior to that bastard Newgate!

Such a guy remains completely unknown on the high seas.

It can only be said that he is probably indeed coveting the position of King of the World!

But.

"The King of the World?"

The Golden Lion suddenly burst into laughter, "Hehehehe! This is truly amusing!"

Since Roger's death, there has never been a moment that stirred his emotions as much as this!

Just you wait, Roger. The enemy you can't handle is mine to take down!

Are you going to entrust everything to those who come after you?

These little devils at sea don't know what a real pirate is! I'll end it all!

Hahahaha!

Let me be the King of the World!

Naito did not return directly towards the warship, but deliberately flew in another direction for a long distance before suddenly turning back.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way, right?

The name Night King can be revealed, but Navy Naito must never be associated with the Night King, at least not before confirming that he possesses power surpassing Imu's.

At Naito's current speed, he quickly returned to the rumbling, advancing snail fleet.

He became invisible and then returned to his room without alerting anyone.

At this moment, the projected "Naito" was still lying safely on the bed; he had not yet dissipated.

The projection did indeed become very long-lasting at this point.

Just as Naito was about to casually dispel the projection, he suddenly realized that the body seemed to be breathing.

Breathe?

Mimicry Projection makes the projected material resemble real material.

Does that mean that all the organs in this projected body are functioning normally?

Is it simply because it can only project materials that it cannot be given true life?

Since that's the case.

Naito separated a portion of his consciousness and injected it into the body before him.

Visibly, the previously lifeless body suddenly trembled, and then it opened its eyes.

"Heh heh, this is going to be interesting."

It laughed as it looked around.

You can see it, you can hear it, you can even feel the temperature on your skin, and your buttocks can feel the softness of the bed.

When I was with Yamato before, I also created humanoid figures of light, but that was simply for the purpose of facilitating communication.

In reality, it still possesses Yamato's body, seeing through her eyes and hearing through her ears.

But things are different now.

This is a true clone.
