The Black Prince of Pirates

Devil Fruit.

There were an unimaginable amount of Devil Fruits. The actual objects in front of him made Kaido fall into silence for a moment. Since when were Devil Fruits sold by the basket?Such a scene is also full of strange impact for the Pirate Emperor.

Unbelievable.

incredible.

Even Kaido never had more than ten Devil Fruits in his hand at most. However, there are about thirty or forty Devil Fruits piled in the bamboo basket in front of him now. The number does not seem to be exaggerated to the point of making people silent. The problem is that there are ten bamboo baskets of the same size on this deck.

In other words, there are three to four hundred Devil Fruits here.

This huge number makes people breathe quickly.

Just 3 minutes ago,

Elus asked Kaido if he had a large amount of Devil Fruit, could he eat it?Kaido felt that Elus had something wrong with his head, but he still expressed his desire for Devil Fruit as usual, and then——

in person,

Basket after basket of Devil Fruits were carried out of the cabin and placed on the deck like goods for sale. No, they were the goods that Elus had prepared to trade with Kaido.

"These Devil Fruits... look a little different!"

Kaido stared at the Devil Fruit in the basket for a long time, and then his eyes shifted to Elus. After suppressing the surprise and greed in his heart, he noticed something strange about the Devil Fruit in the basket, the various colors. It's normal, but what's abnormal is that these Devil Fruits all look like 'apples'.

The appearance of Devil Fruits is all kinds of weird.

Bananas, cantaloupe, pineapples, dragon fruit, pears, apples, mangoes, sapodillas... and the patterns are also very strange. He has seen so many devil fruits, no matter how strange the colors and shapes are, the patterns But it is always a Tang grass pattern.

Instead of this circle.

Of course, he did not suspect that Elwu was lying. As a person with abilities, he could instinctively feel the demonic nature contained in the fruit. It was a feeling that he had never encountered except for devil fruits. This thing was indeed It's a devil fruit, that's right.

However, the subtle strange feeling lingers.

"Yes, these are not naturally occurring Devil Fruits, they are artificial Devil Fruits." Elus said bluntly.

"Artificial devil fruit?" Kaido's eyes suddenly widened, and the terrifying overlord-colored domineering energy swept out like a tsunami, crushing in all directions, pitiful to many of Elus's crew members, as well as the members of the Beast Pirates. Many members were unfortunately struck by this sudden misfortune.

Those unlucky ones who fell down were completely ignored by Kaido.

He was attracted by the wonderful phrase "Artificial Devil Fruit", and his strong heart beat a little faster. His intuition told him that this thing might bring him a surprise?

"That's right, this one is man-made."

Elus grabbed a round apple from the bamboo basket next to him - a dark purple apple with a black and red ring pattern. His fingers gently slid across the smooth skin of the apple, "Artificial , this thing is a fake created by humans, it does have the power of Devil Fruit, but it is not complete, they are incomplete creations."

"Broken?"

"Yes, integrity is a virtue in getting along with others. Even if deception can gain temporary benefits, it will not be worth the loss in the long run." Eleus played with the Devil Fruit in his hand and spoke with an extremely candid tone, taking the initiative to expose the man-made The flaws of devil fruits.

For the first time, there is no normal animal-type Devil Fruit's ability to change between different forms.

Second, only some organs or parts of the body change.

Third, all Devil Fruits created are of the animal type.

Third, there is a risk of failure when taking artificial devil fruits. If you are unlucky, not only you will not be able to awaken your abilities, but you will also lose the power to grieve and become a weirdo who can only laugh. If your luck is even worse, it is not impossible to explode on the spot. , and due to limited experimental data, the success rate of taking artificial devil fruits cannot be determined.

Every defect was carefully explained.

At the end, Elus clapped his hands, and a maid pushed the prison cart made of a mixture of steel and seastone to the deck. Through the railings, you could see the half-human, half-spider monster sitting in the prison cart, with its lower body It looks like an eight-legged spider, and its upper body looks like a human male.

"Uh-huh..."

The man in the prison van banged the prison van angrily.

The eight legs trampled the iron plate under his feet crazily. Unfortunately, the sea floor stone sealed his strength. The seemingly crazy actions could not bring much damage to the prison car. Because he was too noisy, his tongue was cut out, and he could not Say a complete sentence.

All he could do was stare at the maid guarding the prison car with eyes as fierce as burning coals.

He didn't even notice Kaido and Eleus.

The emotions of anger and hatred have overwhelmed his reason, and he did not even lose his mind under the impact of Kaido's overlord-colored Haki. Instead, it stimulated him to become more and more manic.

"This is a man-made Devil Fruit user."

Elvus pointed at the frantic prisoner in the prison van.

Kaido took a sip of wine and placed the empty wine cup in his hand on the deck. His sharp sword-like gaze fell on the half-human, half-spider man in the prison car. Just his sight was like a real sword, stabbing The man became alert instinctively and turned his head to meet Kaido's eyes.

The bursting flood extinguished the small bonfire.

The anger that had arisen because he had turned into the monster that he was now, without humans or ghosts, was easily extinguished under the gaze filled with horror that could not be described in his lack of words, and the anger was extinguished. He restrained himself, all eight legs trembling with fear.

It's a beast!

After the anger in his mind was extinguished, the man who regained his senses immediately recognized who was staring at him.

then,

Greater fear and despair overwhelmed him.

Huddled in the corner of the prison car lifelessly, he finally realized that his life was over.

"Snapped!"

A peanut flew over and broke one of the man's legs. The small peanut passed through the calf muscle. At that moment, blood spurted out like a fountain, but not much. After a few strands, the amount of bleeding soon began to decrease. In everyone's perception, Spider Man's injured part was slowly healing itself.

"The resilience looks similar to a normal Devil Fruit."

Kaido spoke softly.

He threw the peanuts away.

It is used to test the depth of people with artificial devil fruit abilities.

Ignoring the spider man who was wailing lowly, Kaido continued to experiment, testing the performance of the artificial Devil Fruit from all aspects. As the spider man's aura gradually decreased, five of the eight legs were broken, and the blood stained the The iron plate at the bottom of the prison car turned red and dripped onto the deck along the cracks in the railings. Kaido finally stopped.

"How is my shipment?"

"Transfer of artificial devil fruit technology..."

"Technology is not for sale, let's talk about the Devil Fruit deal!"

"Boy, don't you want to hear my quotation first?"

"Even if you pack the Beast Pirates for me, it won't work."

"...How many artificial Devil Fruits can you provide?"

The transaction went well.

As Elus expected, Kaido couldn't resist the temptation brought by the artificial devil fruit. Even though the artificial devil fruit's ability users are inherently flawed, compared with the real ability users, they have all kinds of problems and many shortcomings. , and there may be unknown risks.

but,

Compared with those weird abilities, Kaido is interested in the strong vitality and recovery power of animal devil fruits. The improvement of vitality and recovery power will undoubtedly greatly improve the strength of his subordinates. In addition, with such The number of ability users spawned by multiple artificial devil fruits...

The dream of establishing a legion composed of ability users is already within sight.

"By the way, Kaido, the transaction needs to be kept secret." Elus clinked glasses with Kaido and added a new request.

"What? Boy, are you worried about being targeted because of this technology? If you are, why not sell the technology to me directly!" Kaido still refused to give up. Compared with acquiring artificial devil fruits, it seems that it is better to master the manufacturing technology himself.

Unfortunately, Eleus's attitude was too firm.

Unfortunately, he was unable to use the force he was best at to force Elus to surrender.

"I stole this technology from within the World Government." Elus said, "If the news leaks out, I will certainly be targeted by the World Government, but don't think about buying more. It’s an artificial devil fruit.”

"······A world government? Phew! Troublesome thing."

Kaido's face didn't look good.

He did deliberately spread the news that artificial Devil Fruits were related to Elus, and used external forces to pressure Elus to hand over or share the technology of artificial Devil Fruits, but if this technology came from the World Government... ···The plan may not be implemented.

As the pirate emperor of the new world, he has single-handedly attacked the navy and the world government many times. He knows very well how deep the water of the world government is. The three generals of the navy are only the highest combat power of the navy headquarters. What kind of trump card does the world government have? But he has never been tempted.

If he dared to reveal the connection between Elus and artificial devil fruits, Elus would definitely be in big trouble, but he did not think that the world government could solve Elus. This annoyed Alus. Ervus will only cause him to lose the purchase channel of artificial devil fruits.

"The devil fruit provided every month will be increased by [-]%." Kaido made a condition.

"can."

Elus readily agreed.

Caesar has been researching and improving the defective artificial Devil Fruit, but so far there has been no breakthrough. Without the miracle brought by Bengyu, the artificial Devil Fruit would still be so rough, but Caesar's efforts for such a period of time are not in vain. effort.

He has improved the current production efficiency of artificial devil fruits, reduced production costs, and can produce such defective products in large quantities.

It is precisely because there are too many defective products accumulated in the warehouse.

It's not a problem to keep them piled up in the warehouse and eat dust. Elus has a plan to use these defective products to restore health. Initially, he wanted to sell them to the revolutionary army. The business of artificial dragons is very prosperous, and everyone knows it well. trading partner.

Unfortunately, the Revolutionary Army doesn't have much interest in this artificial devil fruit with a high fatality rate.

In desperation, Elus had to change his target.

Just at this time, news of Kaido's changes came, and he realized that he might be able to use artificial devil fruits to solve Kaido's potential trouble. He knew very well that with the continuous expansion of the shipping network, competing for the countless benefits, Sooner or later, it will attract the attention of the beasts, big mom and others.

Just seeing Kaido move, Big Mom also took advantage of the situation and acted like he was taking advantage of the situation, which is enough to prove the malicious intentions of the two pirate emperors.

Fortunately,

He used his own strength to resolve this dangerous disaster, and then used the artificial Devil Fruit to temporarily dispel Kaido's malice towards him. Big Mom was the only enemy left, which was much easier to deal with. At least he didn't have to worry. The situation of being attacked from both sides.

"Artificial Devil Fruit... The World Government has really researched something interesting."

Kaido stretched out his hand, and carefully held the artificial devil fruit that was a little too small for him between his two fingers. He looked up and down, and the ambition in his chest that had been patient for a long time swelled again. With the artificial devil fruit As a result, when he completes the formation of the army of ability users, he should be able to launch a huge war that will make the whole world tremble.

war!

He was so eager to start a grand war that would stop him from being bored.

"This is not the only thing that the World Government has researched."

Elus threw the artificial Devil Fruit in his hand back into the bamboo basket, "Compared to this defective product, the World Government has something better in its hands!"'

For example, the pacifist in the px series.

This research work has already been started. Unfortunately, the relevant research is all led by Vegapunk. Caesar, who has never dealt with Vegapunk, did not have the opportunity to learn about this research. The pacifist research has not been released. In Punk Hassad.

A robot capable of firing laser attacks.

With just a few of them, the Straw Hats, who had not mastered their domineering power, were extremely embarrassed. These ordinary pacifists may not be a threat to the level of Elus, but they are invincible when used to solve low-level battles, and If the number is large enough, it may not be impossible to concentrate fire and kill the master who has mastered the armed color Haki.

The world government is still very powerful.

He has to work harder to overthrow and replace the world government.

Elus encouraged himself and strengthened his ambition.
