I don't want to be a general, I choose Buddhism

"What's the mood? I think the days are quite boring these days."

Corazon said with some dissatisfaction.

"Originally, I was already busy enough to be in charge of the Dressrosa Kingdom and the organization's affairs in the New World sea area. In addition to this Baiwu area, do you know how many 'Flower Capitals' have flooded into the Baiwu area? Fleeing civilians? How many things do you need to deal with and arrange in person every day?"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Corazon's words could be said to be thrown at Ian like cannonballs...

After a while, Yan picked up the coffee that Monet had just placed on the desk and handed it to Corazon, who still did not stop, and said.

"Come on, drink some coffee to moisten your throat."

"Tsk, thanks..."

Corazon, who was talking so that his throat was gradually smoking, subconsciously took the coffee in Yan's hand and thanked him.

Immediately, Corazon took a sip of coffee and asked Yan. "Yan, tell me, what can you do with me?"

"If I said that I just came to visit my elder brother, would you try to believe it?" Yann asked.

Corazon replied in a rather affirmative tone. "I don't believe it, and it's not a very important thing. You definitely won't come here in person."

Ian sneered, then spoke. "No, I'm actually looking for you to discuss how to increase the fertility rate of the little humans."

"Little people?"

Corazon quickly reacted and asked. "Do you want to continue to increase the production of artificial devil fruits?"

"That's right!" Ian nodded.

"Isn't the production of [-] man-made devil fruits a month not enough? How much do you need?" Corazon asked.

Yan said without blushing. "Simple and simple, how about doubling within half a year?"

The corner of Corazon's mouth twitched slightly, and he directly passed the coffee in his hand back to Ian, and said.

"I still don't drink coffee. Double the production? Do you think the little people are all sows? Even if I drug the little people one by one, it is impossible to increase the number of the little people so quickly that they can make artificial demons The degree to which the fruit yield doubled."

Chapter 588 The Guessed Truth

Faced with Corazon's repeated complaints, Yann did not speak, but kept a gentle smile at Corazon.

After a while, Corazon said weakly.

"I can't guarantee it within half a year, but within a year I can try my best through some special methods."

"Then I'll trouble you." Ian nodded.

"Tsk~"

Corazon curled his lips disapprovingly, then lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee before asking.

"Speaking of which, Ian, what do you want so many artificial devil fruits for? Eaters of artificial devil fruits need to suffer strong side effects and have a high probability of not gaining abilities, and even if they successfully obtain abilities, they are all Incomplete animal ability."

After a pause, Corazon continued. "Even if it is purely for mass production of combat power, the effect of artificial devil fruits on mass production of combat power is far inferior to the research project that Luo is currently developing."

Ion pondered for a moment, stared at Corazon for a moment, and then spoke.

"Perhaps I should explain some things to you. Take me to the man-made devil fruit that will be shipped to Wano country this month."

Corazon was taken aback for a moment, then directly opened a secret passage in the office, and led Ian towards the secret passage.

Soon, boxes of man-made devil fruits with uniform appearance appeared in front of Yan.

Corazon spoke. "This batch is the man-made devil fruit that was just shipped to Wano country not long ago, and it is also the output of the last three months, totaling more than [-]."

"Um……"

While responding, Yaen slowly pulled out the Zhanhundao from his waist, and then the brilliant light of the knife continued to light up in this hidden secret room.

In Corazon's astonished eyes, the man-made devil fruits turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared into the air as they were cut open by the soul-chopping knife in Ian's hand.

No...it seems to be absorbed by Yan...

In less than a moment, the man-made devil fruit that filled the secret room had completely disappeared.

Instead, a white light ball that Corazon was very familiar with appeared in Yan's hands, the white light ball that led him to the "Lord of the Void Circle" and gained the ability of "Holy Weeping Mantis".

"This...could it be?!" Corazon said in shock, his eyes widened.

"That's right..."

Yan nodded, and he had already made up his mind to confess some things to Corazon.

After all, Yan needs to truly build the "virtual circle" organization into an organization capable of "destroying the world", so there are many things that cannot be completely hidden from Corazon.

And Corazon said in shock. "Sure enough, the Lord of the Void Circle never existed in this sea from the very beginning, everything is yours..."

"That's right..." Ion nodded.

"so……"

Corazon swallowed his saliva and spoke. "Those just now are the sacrifices needed to be enshrined to the Lord of the Void Circle in exchange for power?"

???

yan.

Yan stared blankly at Corazon.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Corazon curled his lips and spoke. "Yan, you don't really think I didn't notice at all, did you?"

"What... did you notice?" Yan asked twitchingly.

Corazon took two steps forward and counted, and said.

"Almost all the members of the 'virtual circle' organization are related to you. The way you led me to meet the 'lord of the virtual circle' back then, when you usually talked about the 'lord of the virtual circle', what happened unintentionally The tone revealed, and you have continued to collect a large number of devil fruits for more than ten years, but no one with the corresponding ability has appeared..."

"To sum up, maybe outsiders don't know, but I have long been suspicious..."

Having said that, Corazon stared at Yan and said. "All the devil fruits collected over the years were actually sacrificed to the 'Lord of the Void Circle' by you, right?"

"Overall, it doesn't seem to be wrong..." Ion replied with a guilty conscience.

"Tsk, I knew it."

Corazon said in a positive tone.

"So, the members of the 'virtual circle' that have appeared over the years are actually cultivated by the power you obtained through trading with the 'lord of the virtual circle'?"

"No... that's right."

Yan gradually calmed down, and his tone became much smoother, he asked. "Corazon, you guessed such an unimaginable truth? How did you do it?"

Corazon smiled and said confidently.

"At the beginning, I didn't understand it at all, until I accidentally learned about the black magic legend circulating in 'Namakula Island': as long as you offer the right sacrifice in the right way, you can communicate with the gods in exchange for Corresponding power."

"Although in the history of 'Namakula Island', no one has really succeeded in gaining power from black magic, but your actions, Ian, are quite similar to that kind of 'black magic', plus Last year, the sea area where the old man met you was near Namakura Island, so it seems not surprising that you know about the black magic of Namakura Island."

(PS: Namakula Island, that is, the island that fell after Brooke was shot by a bear in the Bubble Islands, and was mistaken by local residents for the island of "Satan Demon".)

"Bad...almost..."

As soon as Yan's thoughts moved, he simply followed Corazon's words.

"I also tried to use this kind of magic by chance, and accidentally communicated with the 'Lord of the Void Circle' with the devil fruit as a sacrifice."

"As for the stalwart 'Lord of the Void Circle', the only thing he is interested in is the Devil Fruit. As long as I sacrifice the Devil Fruit, it will give me a way for others to communicate with the 'Lord of the Void Circle' to obtain some unique The key to power..."

After a pause, Ian then added.

"It's just that with the continuous sacrifice of devil fruits, the number of devil fruits demanded by the 'Lord of the Void Circle' is also increasing."

"I see……"

Hearing this, Corazon nodded clearly. "In this way, everything can be explained, but why did you try such a dangerous thing in the first place?"

"I was weak back then, do I have other choices?"

Ian explained. "And it turns out, I succeeded."

"It's just that it's a little too dangerous. Will the 'Lord of the Void Circle'...affect you?" Corazon asked.

"Don't worry, if you talk about danger, the existence of devil fruit is much more dangerous than black magic..."

Chapter 589 Xuzhi Soul Slasher Leopard King

Immediately, Yan followed the topic and told Corazon the information he had learned from "Red Hair" Shanks.

In other words, each devil fruit... probably contains a consciousness aggregate, and it will have an impact on the behavior and habits of the capable person in all aspects.

Immediately, Corazon was attracted by this astonishing information, and for a moment ignored the question of asking Yan about the details of the so-called "black magic" that communicated with the "Lord of the Void Circle".

In fact, now Yann has given up his plan to fully explain the truth to Corazon.

Everyone will be limited by their own vision and knowledge, so they will make reasonable speculation and interpretation of unfamiliar or doubtful things based on their own way of thinking.

So instead of giving Corazon a more cumbersome and troublesome explanation, it would be more appropriate to let Corazon have this kind of misunderstanding, so as to avoid more unnecessary worries.

The only thing that makes Ian feel a little regretful is that the eight awakened "Virtual Soul Slashing Knives" are named: Leopard King. According to Ion's speculation, this should be similar to Corazon's "Holy Crying Mantis". , which belongs to the fighting type "Xuzhi Zhanhundao" that directly strengthens the body.

but……

Yann closed his palms holding the white light ball, and subconsciously recalled the "big cat" Rob Lucci who was performing a latent mission in the "Capital of Seven Waters" in his mind.

This kind of "Xu Zhisoul Saber" that can strengthen the body, even if the "Xu Zhi Soul Slashing Saber" is deliberately kept and not liberated, it still has a very powerful boosting effect on the body.

In the past few years, Lu Qi has followed the orders of the world government to lurk in the "Capital of Seven Waters" to find the design blueprint of "Ancient Weapon Pluto". Due to the constraints of the environment, his strength has stagnated in these few years.

If Lu Qi's strength is further improved, coupled with the continuous loss of CP0 members, maybe Lu Qi will soon be noticed by the CP0 organization...

Yan's eyes narrowed, and he was quite afraid of the CP0 organization known as the "strongest shield" of the Tianlong people.

The specific number of this group is unknown, and the specific information is unknown. Coupled with the strange changes of the former CP0 chief Frode, it is imperative to infiltrate the CP0 organization.

……

At the same time, in a world government ship with an obvious logo, Rob Lucci, wearing a black suit and a top hat, stood at the bow of the ship, facing the hunting sea wind, but his figure was unusually tall and straight.

Kalifa, who was standing beside Lu Qi, put her glasses on her hand and said.

"Boss, although we each left the capital of seven waters with different excuses, our disappearance in the capital of seven waters at the same time may make the mayor suspicious."

"Yeah, Khalifa has worked so hard for so many years to gain the trust of the mayor and become the secretary. Now it's a waste of effort." Kaku, who has a strange cuboid nose set at ninety degrees, regretted talking.

The rest of the CP9 members who followed Lu Qi couldn't help but nodded one after another, all showing a little puzzled expression.

What kind of mission is worthy of dispatching by all their CP9 members, and they gave up the task of finding the blueprints of the "Ancient Weapon Pluto" that they have been working on for several years.

Facing the questions of his subordinates, following the failure of the mission, Foz Foz left the CP9 organization and became a pirate. Now, as the strongest member of the CP9 organization and the de facto captain of the CO9 organization, Lu Qi turned around and said.

"The task this time is not difficult. It is just to escort a World Government psychologist to contact a certain person."

"Since it's not difficult, why..."

Before Kaku finished speaking, Kaku suddenly noticed that Lu Qi's expression was completely different from the usual cold state, and his voice couldn't help but pause.

Those eyes were full of nostalgia and... longing! ! !

This is the first time Kaku, Kalifa, Bruno and other new CP9 members have followed Lu Qi in the past few years, what he can see on the face of Lu Qi, who is known as "the strongest and most ruthless killing weapon in CP9 history". look.

Lu Qi's voice changed, and he suddenly asked. "You...do you know why the weak as you can all be promoted to new CP9 members?"

Hearing this question, these members who have successively joined the CP9 organization in recent years looked at each other, then Kalifa pushed his glasses and said.

"Because the rest of the seniors have already sacrificed?"

"Basically, during the Alabasta incident six years ago, in order to stop the 'Ancient Weapon Pluto', almost all members of the CP9 organization died..."

When Lu Qi talked about this issue, his tone didn't fluctuate at all, just as if he was stating some irrelevant facts.

"And now... what you are about to meet is the hero who saved the sea in that big incident—Master Tefemo Yann!!!"

When he said this, Lu Qi's voice contained uncontrollable excitement, and he couldn't help but look in the distance in the direction of the ship.
