Chapter 310 Artificial Devil Fruits!
Just as Luffy was licking his wounds and shouting that he would defeat Mofi.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his room.

"Lord Luffy, Lord Doflamingo has already left Fishman Island."

Furthermore, he also told me to tell you that from now on, he will no longer restrict your actions, and you can go and gather your companions to explore and gain experience.

The master also specifically asked me to remind you, his exact words being: "Luffy! Don't be such a coward next time!"

"Uh!"

Hearing the merman maid outside the room speaking Mo Fei's instructions in a sweet voice.

Luffy's anger instantly dissipated like a punctured balloon.

All that remained was endless shame, indignation, and resentment.

"Doflamingo, you bastard! I've trained so hard, how come I'm still so much worse than you?"

After feeling down for a while, Luffy was suddenly awakened by a rumbling sound. He turned around and looked around before realizing that it was his stomach making the noise.

His optimistic nature made him temporarily forget about being defeated by Mo Fei.

After rushing out the door, he saw the food that the maid had prepared for him and immediately began to devour the food on the table.

After eating and drinking his fill, Luffy's disappointment had completely vanished.

After glancing at the view of Fishman Island from the floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze hardened once more.

"Doflamingo, if I can defeat someone as powerful as you, I believe I, Luffy, will definitely become the Pirate King, right?"
I'll go gather my companions right now to embark on adventures and train; I'm sure I can defeat you!

……

Meanwhile, in the New World, Mo Fei, whom Luffy considers his lifelong nemesis, is rendered completely powerless by the bizarre environment and weather of the New World.

Super raindrops, giant hailstones, and suddenly appearing deep underwater trenches—one moment everything is calm and peaceful, the next moment a raging storm.

If it weren't for Jinbe, a seasoned veteran on board, and his occasional use of his psychic field to assist in controlling the ship, they probably would have already capsized in this bizarre and harsh environment.

"I didn't think much of it when I was watching the show, but this time I experienced it firsthand, and it really opened my eyes."

While sighing, Mo Fei, based on his memory, instructed Jinbe to set the next destination of the route as the Navy's G5 Division.

Because of the previous naval expeditionary force, most of the elite naval forces of the G5 division were also transferred by Sengoku.

Tashigi and Smoker are typical representatives of the G5 division.

The reason why Mo Fei chose this destination was because there was an important mole of his here, Vice Admiral 'Oni Bamboo Vergo'.

If it weren't for the intelligence provided by Vergo last time, his battle with the suppression army would definitely not have gone so smoothly.

It was because Vergo informed Mofei of Sengoku's large-scale mobilization of the G5 division's elite forces that Mofei was able to set up defenses early and ultimately use Shirahoshi's abilities to wipe out most of the expeditionary army in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, not far from G5, Punk Hazard is home to Caesar Clown, the guy who researches artificial Devil Fruits and giant transformations of children.

So whether it's to gather his subordinates or to see the artificial Devil Fruits and that Momonosuke who had to die, Momo is planning to take some time to visit the island.

I don't know if Momonosuke has been captured yet, but judging from the plot, it should be around this time that Momonosuke and his subordinates got separated while being chased, and then he mistakenly boarded a human trafficker's ship and was captured to be experimented on in Punk Hazard.

As for that little pervert, perhaps when you were watching the show back then, you were really itching to get your teeth tingled with rage?

If Momonosuke really fell into his hands, he would definitely be willing to spend some time to properly discipline him and vent his anger.

After suffering heavy losses at Sabaody Archipelago, the navy has completely lost its ability to govern and protect the New World waters.

Nowadays, many naval divisions are adopting a defensive strategy, staying indoors and beginning to build up their strength.

This has led to the New World becoming a paradise for pirates.

During the short voyage from Fishman Island to the New World and then to the G5 branch, Guang Mofei, who intentionally did not fly the Nightmare Pirates flag, encountered a robbery almost every few hours.

Mo Fei, who already harbored the mentality of entrapment, accepted all the pirates who dared to rob him without hesitation.

Depending on their strength, they were made into dead and living puppets.

When Mo Fei and his group arrived at the G5 branch, the number of dead puppets stored in Mo Fei's puppet space almost exceeded one thousand.

It's easy to imagine how rampant piracy has become in the New World today.

When Vergo rushed over after receiving Mo Fei's notification, Mo Fei had already used his mental field to scan the general environment of the G5 branch.

The sight before him made his eyes narrow, and he couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.

Because on the other side of the beach, several G5 officers dressed in naval robes were fishing with a few pirates whose faces were covered in snot and tears.

Not far from these people, a huge barbecue grill had been set up, and on the grill was a pirate who was already lifeless.

"Is this some kind of high-stakes game?"

Vergo, who had just arrived beside Mo Fei, was startled to see Mo Fei's unfriendly expression. He immediately stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Mo Fei to begin his reprimand.

After carefully examining the man with the buzz cut and sunglasses standing beside her, she realized that...

Thinking of his contributions to Sabaody Archipelago, Mo Fei suppressed her anger and gently inquired about his recent situation.

"Vergo, the intelligence you provided last time was very useful. You deserve great credit for the victory in the Battle of Sabaody Archipelago."

The situation between the enemy and ourselves has now completely reversed. Do you intend to continue your undercover work, or return now?

Seeing that Mo Fei's unfriendly mood didn't seem to be directed at him, Vergo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the question Mo Fei asked, he pondered for a moment and then gave his own answer.

"I would like to do something more for you, sir. I have earned this identity with great difficulty, and it would be a pity to give it up so easily."

Vergo's answer was roughly the same as Mo Fei's estimate: although this man was cruel and bloodthirsty, he was extremely loyal to his predecessor.
As the leader, one must have the necessary tolerance for others.

To discard a meritorious person like Vergo because of a subordinate's quirks would surely disappoint and discourage many of his followers.

"Alright! Since you've made your choice, then continue your undercover work! You'll be rewarded for your contributions. You made a great contribution in the Battle of Sabaody Archipelago. What kind of reward would you like me to give you?"

Mo Fei would naturally not be stingy with rewards for his capable subordinates.

If he hadn't witnessed that cruel and disgusting scene on the island, he would have prepared a Logia-type Devil Fruit as a reward for Vergo. But now, he decided to wait and see.

“Serving the master is Vergo’s duty. The master is a man destined to become the king of this world. Being able to follow the master and serve the master is the greatest reward for me.”

After hearing Vergo's sincere words of loyalty, perhaps his impression of this somewhat tyrannical subordinate had changed somewhat.

"Here's what we'll do. There are three fruits here: one representing nature, one representing superhumans, and one representing animals. You can choose one!"

The battle on Sabaody Archipelago certainly resulted in the deaths of quite a few ability users.

With the Dark-Dark Fruit, he now has more than 10 fruits in his storage bag, so he doesn't feel bad about giving a few to his subordinates.

Seeing the three fruits floating in mid-air in front of him, Vergo's eyes immediately lit up.

As a former subordinate who had followed his predecessor for nearly twenty years, he certainly wouldn't lack opportunities to obtain a Devil Fruit.

However, Logia and Paramecia Devil Fruits are not so easy to obtain, and since they are meant to reward his great achievements, they certainly wouldn't offer him any trash as a token of appreciation.

……

After Vergo selected the fruit and successfully absorbed it, Mo Fei immediately asked him to lead the way, and together they headed to Punk Hazard, where Caesar Cullen was located.

Mo Fei was genuinely curious about both artificial Devil Fruits and Caesar Clown.

After all, Caesar Clown was able to replicate the unique and extraordinary abilities of Devil Fruits.

Although it's not the complete form and has considerable side effects, it does indeed possess most of the fruit's benefits.

And Trafalgar Law, who possesses the Op-Op Fruit, seems to be on this island right now.

Led by Vergo, the group boarded the Thousand Sunny and soon arrived at the island in the movie where ice and fire were severely polarized.

Meanwhile, Vergo's men, having received his notification, had all arrived at the port early to await Mo Fei's arrival.

Looking at Caesar Courland, Monet the Snow Maiden, and the man with the spotted hat and longsword waiting at the port, Mo Fei sighed inwardly that this trip had been worthwhile.

Law's Op-Op Fruit is, in some ways, the most amazing fruit in the world of One Piece.

It is rumored that if a user of the Op-Op Fruit develops the fruit's power to its fullest potential, he can use the fruit's power to grant someone immortality.

This kind of incredible ability is unique in the entire One Piece world.

His ability to swap people's bodies and souls was something Mo Fei greatly envied.

Imagine someone is critically injured and on the verge of death. Could we use the surgical fruits to transfer their soul into another body?
So, if the soul is strong enough, could that be considered another kind of immortality or eternal life?

"Lord Doflamingo!..."

Upon seeing Mo Fei disembark, the others standing at the port, except for Luo, greeted him.

Mo Fei smiled and nodded in response before carefully examining the people in front of him.

The others didn't surprise Mo Fei too much, but the Snow-Snow Fruit user, Monet, with her transformed feathered bird claws, truly refreshed his worldview once again.

This girl has such a great figure and face, yet she changed herself into this pathetic state, which really makes Mo Fei feel a bit of a pain in the ass.

"Caesar! It's been a long time! Have you come up with any new technologies lately?"

After reviewing his predecessor's memories, Mo Fei began to inquire about the progress of the research from the others, using the same tone Doflamingo used in his memories.

After a brief exchange, Mo Fei asked Caesar Courant to allow him to visit the basic testing facility.

Although the latter was curious about why this person was in such a good mood today, he didn't delve too deeply into it. Instead, he was quite pleased and personally led the way, acting as Mo Fei's tour guide.

After arriving at the laboratory where Devil Fruits were produced, the two looked at the Devil Fruits arranged in glass containers.

Mo Fei quickly picked up a pill and started the system scanning and testing.

"Ding! This item is a high-quality counterfeit, knock-off, artificial Devil Fruit!"
This item was created by Caesar Clown using technology stolen from Vegapunk. Consuming it grants partial Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, but these abilities are extremely unstable, and the side effects are unknown. The host should consume it with caution.

"High-quality replicas, counterfeit goods, artificial products?"

Upon seeing these three comments from the system, Mo Fei instantly lost interest in this piece of junk.

"And the side effects are still unknown, I'm fucking speechless!"

Having understood the inside story, perhaps he had completely lost interest in the research on artificial Devil Fruits. So he turned to Caesar Clown to see if he had any other good stuff.

Upon seeing his master, he lost interest in the artificial Devil Fruits that he had previously valued so highly.

Caesar Clown, who wondered if it was because he had fallen out with Kaido and no longer needed to use artificial Devil Fruits to please Kaido, felt a sudden pang of unease.

So he quickly introduced the two latest research achievements, namely, the gigantification of infants and the 'Death Kingdom', to Mo Fei.

Upon hearing that the Death Kingdom was actually a slime in the form of an axolotl that had eaten the Salamander Fruit, Mo Fei suddenly lost all interest in visiting.

The disappointment of having two expectations dashed made Mo Fei even more eager for the moment he would see Momonosuke.

When he explained to Caesar Courland that he wanted to visit the children who had been turned into gigantic beings, the former immediately and respectfully floated ahead to lead the way.

This Caesar Clown seems to be a Gas-Gas Fruit user, right? Gas is similar to coal gas, so if it gets lit, won't it just blow him to pieces?

However, upon closer inspection now, it becomes clear that the family's predecessor was quite wealthy.

In this small outpost, there are two Logia-type and one Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, plus a Zoan-type slime monster.

His hometown, Dressrosa, is home to a superhuman ability user like Sugar.

Not only does he possess Conqueror's Haki, but he has also developed the String-String Fruit to the awakened level. This predecessor was truly gifted and had outstanding abilities.

When Mo Fei, guided by Caesar Courland, arrived before the children who were imprisoned and prepared for experimental purposes.

Looking at those small figures imprisoned in iron cages, an unprovoked fire instantly ignited in Mo Fei's heart.

As a villain, he wasn't bothered by his subordinates doing bad things. But he truly loathed the act of trafficking children for inhumane experiments.

Even the way he looked at Caesar Courland became a bit colder.
