Chapter 293, Section 292. Little Gray! Thunder Cloud Dragon! Ship Girl!
"By consuming one's own physical strength or lifespan, one can convert it into soul power, thus giving life to 'inanimate objects'."

The soul whose life has been taken will disappear in units of lifespan.

Moses sensed the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, "and the definition of this consumption is quite interesting."

One method involves expending one's own physical strength to create a temporary soul, thereby giving life to inanimate objects.

One is to consume one's own lifespan to create a soul that gives life to inanimate objects.

Lifespan can be either one's own or a temporary lifespan taken from other creatures, much like an ammunition depot.

Although the lifespan gained through plunder cannot enhance oneself, it serves as a very useful ammunition depot.

Furthermore, the definition of this inanimate object is quite interesting; it can even include elements.

In the forest behind the island ship.

Moses brought Pepe here.

The mechanism of lifespan theft has been clarified: as long as a living being experiences fear towards itself, it can arbitrarily seize the conversion unit of its soul, that is, its lifespan.

Conversely, one cannot steal lifespan.

Looking at the trembling, ferocious old beast lying on the ground before him, the giant elephant whose lifespan he had taken away by 50 years.

Mercer looked at the colorless, transparent, spirit-like substance in his hand, then placed his hand on a rock shaped like a wolf beside him.

Soul infusion.

A unique ripple emanated from the rock, a ripple of life.

To create souls, to give life to inanimate objects and to anthropomorphize them.

The rock wolf gained a soul, its intelligence was developed, and it blinked at Moses, speaking in human language:

"Mother?"

"Pfft! Hara hara hara, Mercer, you have a child, hehehe."

Peipei made sarcastic remarks from the side.

Moses's lips twitched as he stared at the rock-like wolf cub in front of him, speechless and detached from his soul.

These self-created creatures can freely extract their souls.

With a thought, he reset the basic behavioral logic of the soul in his hand, threw it into the wolf-shaped rock, endowed it with a soul, and personified it.

The rock wolf opened its eyes again and looked at Moses: "Boss."

Hearing this, Mercer nodded. That was much better; it wasn't as awkward as before.

Sensing the duration of the hyena's existence, Moses chuckled, "Is the duration of this little guy's existence determined by how much temporary lifespan he consumes?"

By consuming or taking away a certain amount of lifespan, one can also freely manipulate the spiritual quality of the creatures they create.

The amount of lifespan consumed can also be used to define whether someone is intelligent or mentally disabled.

The mechanism for using this fruit's power is quite interesting.

Pepe was a little disappointed when the coyote stopped calling Moses "Papa," feeling that the fun was over.

With a slight movement of his eyes, a massive amount of gray mist spread out, forming a vortex that devoured the gray mist and shaped it into a cloud in front of him. This consumed one year of his own lifespan, and a soul radiating a unique fluctuation was created.

It disappeared into the swallowing gray cloud.

Personified cloud and mist shapes.

The next moment, eyes, a nose, and a huge mouth appeared.

Looking at Mercer, she spoke respectfully in a clear female voice:

"Boss."

Moses sensed the gray cloud's power, noting its ability to devour everything, and the presence of a vortex portal deep within its body connecting to his own small world. A slight smile curved his lips.
"From now on, you can call me Xiao Hui."

"Okay, boss. We're hungry."

Gray Cloud grinned maliciously at Mercer, who said calmly:

"Go find something to eat yourself."

The next moment, the gray cloud expanded in size, opening its mouth, several meters in diameter, and began to devour the ground.

Click!Click!
The soil and rocks swallowed into the body were instantly absorbed and converted into its own energy.

Mercer sensed that this little guy, created by consuming his own lifespan, would develop a deep connection with him after being given life and personified.

Completely obey one's own will.

Pepe looked at Mercer with sparkling eyes, "Mercer, you're saying you can't bring my ghost doll to life and anthropomorphize it?"

A slight smile curved the corners of Moses's lips. The gray mist engulfed Pepe, creating a negative spirit that took shape in Moses's hand.

Consume lifespan to create souls and set them loyal to two people.

injection.

A white, negative panda spirit appeared.

The panda spirit's eyes sparkled as it looked at Moses the boy and chuckled:
"Boss, Kumasi reporting for duty."

Moses separated Pepe.

Pepe looked at the spirit panda in front of her, her eyes sparkling, "Kumashi?"

This is the name Peipei gave to her favorite panda plush toy.

At the same time, Pepe sensed that...

This spirit bear possesses the ability to switch between spirit and physical form, and can also use negative abilities.

"Hala harala harala. I love Mercer so much."

As he spoke, he hugged the panda tightly.

He kept giggling like an idiot.

Moses watched her playing around, smiled, and with a thought, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, growing increasingly terrifying in size as time passed.

A moment later, with the control of the clouds, tens of thousands of meters long gathered and converged towards the direction of Messer.

After a few breaths.

A thundercloud with a diameter of 100 meters was transformed by Messer into a lifelike, jet-black thundercloud dragon with a body length of 100 meters.

Consuming his lifespan, a ball of soul light appeared, endowing Lei Yunlong with a soul and personifying him.

The next moment, the thunder dragon roared to the sky.

"Yin——"

A terrifying dragon roar echoed across the sky.

A few seconds later, Thunder Dragon, with a haughty and aloof expression, looked down at Messer in a mature and elegant voice:
"Boss, Lei Yunlong reporting for duty."

Pepe's eyes widened, her face filled with excitement as she looked at Lei Yunlong, grabbing Meiser's arm and shouting excitedly:

"Hahaha! It's a dragon, Moses, you have a dragon now!"

Messer looked at the Thunder Dragon with a thoughtful expression in his eyes. The Thunder Dragon was now a unique elemental life form. Since it was a life form...

"Lei Yunlong, shrink."

The next second, Lei Yunlong shrank in size, transforming into a tiny creature one meter long, lifelike and surrounded by black clouds, exceptionally beautiful and majestic.

Lei Yunlong's body was coiled on Moses's left arm, and its head rested on Moses's left shoulder.

Handsome.

Peipei's eyes shone as she reached out to touch Lei Yunlong's head, feeling the texture of Lei Yunlong's horns, which resembled gelatinous dragon horns.

The gray mist spread out, and a vortex appeared in front of Messer, leading Thundercloud Dragon into it.

Pepe, along with Little Grey and her Kumasi System, entered the vortex.

Then, a Devil Fruit appeared in Moses' hand, which he then crushed.

Sensing the power of this Devil Fruit, which was no different from that of the original Devil Fruit.

Messer manipulated the gray mist and pressed it into the body of the Thundercloud Dragon.

The artificial Azure Dragon Fruit fused easily with the Thundercloud Dragon.

A touch of pink appeared in the dark clouds, which was then mixed with black and red.

Mercer touched Lei Yunlong's current body, feeling a tangible sensation.

At the same time, the capabilities change.

Thunder, fire, and wind.

It possesses three elemental forms: thundercloud, windcloud, and firecloud.

Moses laughed: "Not bad, not bad, very good."

Lei Yunlong stretched his dragon body and nodded in agreement:
"Lei Yunlong thanks Boss for bestowing upon me the power of a dragon."

Pepe stared in disbelief at the scene.
"Mercy, do you possess a real dragon?"

"Yes." Mercer nodded with a smile, "And Lei Yunlong's strength is quite impressive."

Come to the outside world.

Moses laughed and said, "Grow bigger."

The next second, Lei Yunlong grew larger as it faced the wind, and Messer jumped onto the dragon's head, sitting cross-legged between its two horns.

Pepe flew up.

Kumasi and Little Grey came together.

"Fly."

A hundred-meter-long thundercloud dragon soared into the sky, surrounded by black and red flame clouds, and flew swiftly through the sky.

A smile played on Moses' lips. "Not bad, not bad, now you have a cool mount."

Lei Yunlong flew above the Eternal Ark.

The residents below stared in disbelief at the dark red dragon shrouded in clouds in the sky.

A moment later, a figure darted to the side of Mercer.

Runti exclaimed in surprise, "This guy looks a bit like Kaido!"

Messer gave a brief explanation, and Runti looked at him excitedly:

"Hey Messe, you said you have the Soul-Soul Fruit power, so can you also personify that guy's spiked club?"

Like an older woman turning her large knife into a hat and carrying it around?

Messer blinked and looked at Runti. Runti's eyes lit up with joy, and she looked at Messer with expectant eyes.

Moses sensed the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit and confirmed that it was indeed possible to operate that way.

Runti pulled out her spiked club from behind her back and looked at Messer.

The gray fog devoured and merged with Runti.

It gives it a soul and anthropomorphizes it, while giving the spiked club a completely new form.

The next moment, eyes and a mouth sprouted from the handle of the spiked club, and a respectful female voice looked at Moses and said:

"Boss, Raiya is reporting to you."

The next moment, with a bang, it transformed into a black bow hair accessory.

Runti was separated and looked at the fluttering bow hair accessory in front of her. She blinked and her eyes showed affection.

Because the spiked club is a weapon of life, it naturally aligns with Runti's life force.

Therefore, after being anthropomorphized, besides completely obeying Messer's orders, she is naturally friendly with Runti.

Upon seeing Runti, without a second thought, it flapped its wings and flew directly to the back of Runti's head, tying up its hair and securing itself to the group's head.

Runti looked at Messer with sparkling eyes: "With Raiya, I won't have to tie my hair anymore, she'll tie it herself."

With a thought, the bow instantly expanded and transformed into a spiked club, which he held in his palm.

Runti was having a great time switching between the two forms.

Furthermore, due to its anthropomorphic nature, the lightning veins inside the wolf fangs are also activated, allowing them to spontaneously become wrapped in lightning.

Runti excitedly gripped the wolf fang and teleported around Lei Yunlong's body.

After riding the Thundercloud Dragon around the Eternal Ship for a week, Moses led them back to the ship.

Unsurprisingly, Moses smiled as he looked at the ship beneath his feet.

Consuming its lifespan, the soul orb enters the ship, merging with the ship's own spirituality, giving it life and personifying it.

The next moment, the ship began to shake, and a pair of eyes and a mouth appeared on the mainmast, accompanied by a dignified and intellectual female voice:

"Illustrious pays his respects to you, Admiral."

Furthermore, the sails were raised directly.

"Admiral Gui'an, how about a spontaneous trip?"

And the next moment, the deck behind Messer deformed, and a spacious seat appeared.

Invited to sit there, the deck in front of him rippled, as if something was brewing, and then the voice of the Radiant Ship appeared:

"Admiral, now that Glorious has acquired intelligence, he can use his Ship-Ship Fruit ability to modify the ship and recreate a humanoid body."

I request the Admiral's assistance.

That's right, Glorious was the name Mercer gave to the ship at this moment.

"permit."

Breathing in sync with the ship, body and mind in harmony.

I could sense the colors and textures of the materials on the ship: gold, red, white, and black.

Sensing the ripples on the deck in front of him, his perception merged with them, and he began to manipulate the Ship-Ship Fruit ability to shape a complete body from the light.

As time passed, the ripples began to fluctuate continuously. A thought struck Moses, and the gray mist engulfed and enveloped the ship.

A large amount of high-quality alloy was incorporated into the ship, and its glorious hull began to take shape.

A moment later, a delicate humanoid creature appeared.

Her long, silver, metallic hair, red eyes, pale skin, and slender, graceful figure were all enveloped in a black and gold gown.

She has delicate features, a black beauty mark under her left eye, and wears a pair of silver-white metal gloves.

The backless dress features a pair of large, jet-black wings on the shoulders, with each feather meticulously detailed.

With the successful creation of the anthropomorphic body.

A bright, intelligent light shone in his radiant eyes as he bowed in respect.

"Admiral, Illustrious sends his greetings."

Since we can sculpt a body for her, of course we should make it as beautiful as possible; being pleasing to the eye is the most important thing.

Moses looked at Glorious and laughed:

"Now that you have developed a soul and intellect, you can now optimize your ship's hull yourself."

Just let me know what materials and parts you need later.

With a perfect, wifely smile on her radiant face, she nodded gently.

"I will follow your instructions."

Moses nodded, stood up, and the chair beneath him disappeared into the ship. Glorious stood beside Moses.

Peipei and Runti stared in disbelief at Guanghui, who was so beautiful she seemed almost inhuman. This woman was far too beautiful.

Mercer reached out and placed his hand on Glorious's shoulder, feeling the unique steely texture.

With the appearance of the radiant light, the main body of the ship has been transferred, as the power of the Ship-Ship Fruit has been transferred into the radiant light's body.

In other words, from now on, Glorious is the main body of the ship, but unfortunately, Glorious cannot leave the ship at present.

However, Messer was aware of the conceptual abilities possessed by the Ship-Ship Fruit.

Hull control and spatial shaping.

The ship was originally made from the life metal of Messer and Nami.

In addition, the Soul-Soul Fruit gives life to souls.

Now, Radiance and Mercer instinctively share a deep sense of connection.

It's similar to a mental ability.

Therefore, the power that Messer sensed at this moment can also be comprehended.

Moses laughed and said, "It would be quite interesting to develop this fruit's ability properly."

His radiant eyes were filled with reverence:
"Glory will remember this, Admiral."

Pepe walked over and poked Glorious's body. Hmm, how should I put it? It had a steely feel, but also the softness of a living creature.

"Mercy, she's amazing. Is she even human now?"

Moses laughed:

"Illustrious is not human; she is a ship's metallic life form, or ship girl for short."
