I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 289 Swallow it, swallowing it whole might be even more effective!

Mo Fei transplanted another leek into his own vegetable garden, completely ignoring the latter's resentful gaze.

When he arrived at the room where Vander Decken IX was being held, led by Zeo, he also saw Hody Jones bandaging his wounds.

Upon seeing the deep, bone-revealing wounds on Hody Jones's back, Mo Fei's expression faltered slightly.

In his mind, Van der Deiken IX was a useless piece of trash.

While Hody Jones wasn't much better, he was at least a capable subordinate.

The fact that the former could inflict such serious injury on the latter was quite unexpected.

……

Upon seeing Mo Fei arrive, Hody Jones, who was bandaging his wounds, immediately stood up.

After respectfully greeting Mo Fei, he began to explain the arrest process in detail.

When Hody Jones mentioned that Vander Decken IX's axe could bend, perhaps that's when he finally understood why Hody Jones was injured.

"It seems your partner had a backup plan; he even reserved one of his ten-finger marking slots specifically for you."

Since my younger brother has handled things quite well, I naturally can't let him down.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent a stream of self-healing energy into Hody Jones's body, repairing his wounds.

Feeling the wound on his back healing rapidly, Hody Jones was surprised and quickly bowed to express his gratitude to Mo Fei.

In just a short while, the deep, bone-revealing wound on Hody Jones's back was completely healed by Mo Fei's self-healing energy.

This made Hody Jones feel even more that Mo Fei was unfathomable, and he felt even more awe for Mo Fei.

"Sir, this is the Vander Decken IX you're looking for. When we went to arrest him, he was still throwing axes out the window. I wonder who he's up to now."

Mo Fei, who was about to extract the Target Fruit, immediately stopped upon hearing Hody Jones's words.

When you come to Fishman Island, you only remember to see the beautiful mermaids, and you forget that there is also a larger version of the mermaid beauty here, 'Crybaby Shirahoshi'.

"That's the legendary weapon 'Sea King,' which can summon and command sea kings. I'll have to go and talk to her when I get back."

Mo Fei had absolutely no intention of taking Van der Deiken IX, such a despicable and useless scumbag, as a subordinate. Such a piece of trash, who was an eyesore and occupied good resources, was naturally better off being sent back to the furnace for re-education.

After having Van Augur lead everyone out of the room, Mo Fei immediately activated the Dark-Dark Fruit and extracted Vander Decken IX, who had been knocked unconscious by Mo Fei.

Previously, they always extracted Devil Fruits from the dead. Perhaps this time they want to try a new method and see if they can extract them from living people.

After all, if you encounter someone with a decent Devil Fruit ability who doesn't have any grudges or entanglements with you, you can avoid committing too many killings.

As the dense black energy enveloped the unconscious Vander Decken IX, it entered his body through his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, beginning to search for and collect the fruit energy remaining within him.

The fruit energy that was originally circulating within Vander Decken IX's body immediately seemed to be startled and frantically fled towards Vander Decken IX's heart.

Finally, all of them flowed into its heart, forming a bronze-colored phantom fruit that formed an array to resist the invasion of the Dark Fruit.

"Wow! There's that kind of trick too!"

The changes in Van der Deiken IX's body greatly piqued Mo Fei's interest.

So he increased the output of the Dark Fruit's energy again, intensifying his invasion of the fruit's phantom.

But the phantom of the fruit within his heart, as if having found its battleground, began relentlessly drawing energy from Vander Decken IX's heart to fight against Mofi's dark energy. This manifested outwardly as Vander Decken IX's appearance and physique rapidly shrinking and aging.

In just a quarter of an hour, Van der Deiken IX had shriveled into the appearance of a withered old man.

However, with his improved version of super self-healing, apart from consuming some energy, he was naturally fine in other aspects.

"It seems that this won't work. The way this Devil Fruit works is to constantly squeeze the host's potential and vitality in order to maintain the output of the fruit's energy."

If someone like Vander Decken IX doesn't receive external replenishment and relies solely on their existing energy reserves, they simply won't last long before aging and dying.

No wonder the top fighters in the One Piece world all have amazing appetites, and they all start to decline as they get older. Whitebeard Edward Newgate is the most obvious example.

Having reached this stage of the experiment, Mo Fei had roughly figured out the principles of Devil Fruits and stopped trying them out.

Instead, he directly used his mental force field to crush Vander Decken IX's heart, and then instantly used dark energy to extract the Target Fruit that was about to dissipate.

"Ding! The host has been detected to have extracted the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit 'Target-Target Fruit'. Would you like to use it as a drug and eliminate the side effects?"

"no!"

As soon as the fruit was extracted, the system immediately issued a notification sound.

However, since this fruit was for his subordinates, he couldn't reveal that he could eliminate the fruit's side effects.

……

"My lord, are you truly going to bestow this fruit upon me?"

When Mo Fei opened the door, handed the Target-Target Fruit to Van Augur, and explained the fruit's abilities...

This man, who was usually aloof and unsociable, and sometimes a bit eccentric, also showed an expression of excitement mixed with disbelief on the spot.

"Work hard for me from now on. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if you follow me!"

"Yes! Your subordinate will serve you wholeheartedly from now on!"

After receiving confirmation from Mo Fei, Van Augur, having pledged his loyalty, eagerly took the Sniper God-level Fruit from Mo Fei's hand.

Without saying a word, he stuffed the whole thing into his mouth on the spot.

"vomit……!"

However, the Devil Fruit once again proved to the world that it is not palatable.

Van Augur, after swallowing the Target-Target Fruit whole, looked as if he had actually eaten a pile of poop, his face immediately turning a bloodshot purplish-red.

"Swallow it, swallowing it whole might be more effective!"

Mo Fei, finding it amusing, quickly added insult to injury, stopping Van Augner from vomiting.

Upon hearing Mo Fei's reminder, Van Oka immediately became somewhat hesitant.

In order to increase his strength, Van Augur ultimately endured the discomfort and swallowed the Target-Target Fruit in his mouth.

The moment Van Augur swallowed the fruit, Mo Fei, whose five senses were extremely sharp, immediately felt a strange energy rising from Van Augur's abdomen and rapidly converging towards his heart.

The process didn't take long. When Van Augur opened his sharp, hawk-like eyes, he already knew that he had gained another general today.
