Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

When Rod was halfway through his meal, Yamato walked in.

"Not bad! You've recovered pretty quickly." Rhodes looked at Yamato and said with a smug expression.

This was the first time he had defeated Yamato using sheer strength.

"Tch, you bastard, your fighting power has increased a lot! Did you have some kind of lucky encounter?" Yamato sat down in front of Rhodes, picked up a piece of Sea King meat and started eating.

"Hahaha! Here's the thing. So now you have to call me, the great demigod, the immortal demigod," Rhodes said with a smug look on his face.

It feels so good to have a powerful backer, wait! Wait a minute!

Right now, Azeroth is protecting me, but once I grow stronger, it will be me protecting Azeroth.

"You, you actually! You became a god so easily? An immortal god! This, this is too unbelievable!" Yamato said in disbelief.

My own man, my own bedmate, one day became an immortal god!

Even that damned bull-headed gorilla has gained a long lifespan, so what am I?

Will I still be by Rhodes' side a hundred years from now? It won't even be a hundred years. In just a few decades, my appearance will have aged. Thinking of this, Yamato felt a little sad.

The sense of loss can be immense when your partner is an immortal being.

“You will always be by my side, Yamato, don’t worry. Soon you will also receive this blessing. I assure you, you will stay young forever and live forever,” Rhodes said.

Kaido has already gained life essence, how could I let you miss out? It's just that we need to wait a while, until I transfer some energy to Ai-chan.

"Tch! What you're saying is really cheesy, but I've been waiting for this day, Rhodes. You've never disappointed me," Yamato said.

While the two were chatting, Sylvanas, rubbing her head, came over to them. After resting for a while, the Queen regained her strength.

She sat gracefully at the dining table, picked up a pastry, and began to eat. Since the relocation from the Kingdom of Nations, many top pastry chefs had come. During this time, Sylvanas had tasted a variety of excellent desserts.

Moreover, since I am currently in a special undead state, I don't need to worry about gaining weight at all, so I can eat whatever I want without worry.

“Great! Rhodes, I’m growing more and more fond of you. It seems your stamina is ridiculously strong now.” Sylvanas said, eating a piece of cream cake and drinking black tea.

Now it's not just her, the Forgotten Queen, but also some Dark Rangers and Terror Guardians who have consumed artificial Devil Fruits.

Those who successfully gained the ability have regained their sense of taste and can now eat.

After successfully obtaining the power of artificial Devil Fruits, the power of death will be transformed through the power of life, turning them into a kind of life similar to the Shadow Realm. Although they are still undead, they have the feeling of being alive.

"Haha! Thank you for the compliment. By the way, where's that little girl, Pudding? Is she still not awake?" Rod asked.

"I reckon she'll be sleeping all day. I'll have my Dark Rangers take care of her."

"Oh, right! I've already given the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to Verona. I just wanted to let you know," Sylvanas said.

During Rhodes's absence, she was not idle. Veronara, the most powerful female dark ranger under her command, had consumed a Devil Fruit, and it had an unexpected effect.

Because the Dark Gate is nearby, as long as you are within the vicinity of Undercity, Devil Fruits will remain as they were in the One Piece world and will not become special fruits.

After the two worlds are connected, you can eat a Devil Fruit directly in Undercity.

"How was the result?" Rod asked.

"Well, Verona's appearance has changed slightly, but her strength has improved a lot."

She can control shadows, and even enter them herself. However, unlike Gecko Moria, she can use her death power to create zombies.

I had her resurrect some dead spirits in the tomb, and with the help of my death power and the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Yellow Spring Fruit), I successfully turned them into free spirits with self-awareness.

"Now my Forsaken race has finally gained some new members," Sylvanas said.

During the time Rhodes was away, besides settling the Beasts Pirates in here, Sylvanas was busy with this matter.

The Forgotten Ones are now slowly showing signs of becoming a new race due to the artificial Devil Fruits and the ability to add new members.

"That's good. Your position as queen will be more secure. By the way, I have some good news for you."

Because of this baptism of the life force, my life has undergone a transformation, and the Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability has directly become part of my bloodline.

"Now that I can take a second Devil Fruit, what do you think would be the best choice for me?" Rhodes asked.

Before consuming his second Devil Fruit, Rod had considered that elemental types could be ruled out, given Shenron's abilities, even in human form.

Rhodes can also manipulate fire, frost, storms, lightning, earth, and many other natural forces.

In terms of both attack range and attack power, it is not much inferior to Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Because of the infusion of Azeroth's life force, Rhodes now possesses the power to manipulate the earth and the natural trees.

In terms of destructive power, the benefits that Logia-type Devil Fruits provide to themselves are negligible.

The elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruits can only defend against ordinary physical attacks. It can be detected by Armament Haki or by things that are countered by it. For example, Luffy defeated the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, and Crocodile used elemental counters.

Therefore, Logia-type Devil Fruits were the first thing Rod ruled out, because they were completely unnecessary and would not provide any benefit to him.

Rhodes will no longer consider Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, whether Mythical Zoan or Ancient Zoan. After all, the Azure Dragon Fruit is the top-tier Mythical Zoan, and he is even above that, so there is no need to improve his bloodline further.

“You already possess powerful spatial abilities, so all Devil Fruits of the spatial type can actually be ruled out. You might as well develop your own abilities!” Sylvanas said.

Rhodes now possesses extremely powerful spatial abilities, but he just doesn't know how to use them yet. He can travel between worlds, so why can't he use some spatial abilities?

Therefore, Rhodes's future spatial attributes are already maxed out and do not need to be enhanced.

After hearing the Queen's words, Rhodes nodded. Space-type Devil Fruits were indeed powerful, but he already had one.

“I plan to eat a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, preferably one related to the six Forces,” Rhodes said.

"What about the Paramecia-type rules? For example, Shiki's Float-Float Fruit, and one of the Supernovas, I remember there's a Magnet-Magnet Fruit user, or right now Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, these are all options," Yamato said.

Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability is undoubtedly top-tier.

Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit ability is also top-tier, and as for the other Supernova's Magnet-Magnet Fruit, it's just an alternative.

It doesn't matter if we kill her now. The Charlotte family children have more fear and awe of their mother than any affection for her.

Actually, there weren't many. In fact, Yamato even asked Pudding privately, and they said that they were very afraid of this mother.

“Personally, I think the Soul-Soul Fruit is better,” Sylvanas said.

Sylvanas supported the Soul-Soul Fruit in response to these three proposals, as she had no other choice before.

But if Rhodes could eat another Devil Fruit now, then there would be no need to try to subdue her.

Furthermore, Sylvanas also hoped that Rhodes would eat the Soul-Soul Fruit, as this fruit possesses the power to manipulate souls, which is indeed very good.

After hearing what Yamato and Sylvanas said, Rhodes fell into thought.

Golden Lion's Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Float-Float Fruit, can be ruled out for now. It's not that the Float-Float Fruit isn't strong, but it's not very useful to him right now.

The flame clouds he is currently generating can exist indefinitely as long as Rhodes wants, and he can create a massive amount of flame clouds with a wave of his hand.

Flying is a piece of cake for him. The Float-Float Fruit has been developed to its fullest extent by Shiki, which means he can make himself fly and make the island fly. Rhodes can do that now too.

Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit is indeed a very powerful ability. The Homies she creates are very useful, as they control the power of souls. Perhaps in the future, she can even try to obtain the Crown of Domination.

The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit should be able to further enhance his soul strength. The Warden couldn't even control Arthas, let alone himself.

The Lich King's power is still very strong, and Rhodes has used it to master the power of the Law of Death, which is indeed very useful to him. Rhodes would never have thought of taking the Lich King's Crown of Domination before, but now it's different.

Times have changed, Warden. Hand over your power of domination and your power of death.

The Magnet-Magnet Fruit is actually worth considering. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental principles of the universe, and gravity and repulsion are essentially applications of electromagnetic force.

Kid uses the Magnet-Magnet Fruit to create machines; this crude fighting style is a complete waste of the fruit's power.

To some extent, Shiki's Float-Float Fruit and Fujitora's Gravity Fruit are inferior to the Magnet-Magnet Fruit. If electromagnetic force is developed well and repulsion and attraction are controlled, there are simply too many things that can be done, even to reverse the magnetic field of a planet.

Just imagine how terrifying it is. Reversing the magnetic field of a planet can easily destroy the entire planet's structure. This fruit is also a top-tier ability.

"I currently have my eye on two fruits: Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit and Kid's Magnet-Magnet Fruit. Both fruits possess extremely powerful rule-based power."

"The soul and magnetism are the most powerful forces, so I've put these two fruits as options. Which one do you think is better?" Rhodes asked.

There's no other way; I can only eat one more fruit now, and I have to give up one of these two. Big Mom's fruit is the Magnet Fruit, and I still need to go and capture the person back.

“Rhodes! I think Charlotte Linlin’s Soul-Soul Fruit is better. You can already control lightning, so the Magnet-Magnet Fruit would just be icing on the cake for you,” Sylvanas said.

“I think so too. The Soul-Soul Fruit is better,” Yamato nodded and said.

The power to manipulate souls is indeed very useful to Rhodes, and it's also very useful for creating those Homies!

“Then it’s decided! I’ll eat Charlotte Linlin’s Soul-Soul Fruit,” Rhode said.

After eating Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, one can create a large number of Homies, allowing them to come into contact with the primal power of death.

In the future, he could also wield the power of the Lich King, which would be the best choice for him.

Chapter 126 A Choice? I Want It All, Kaido: I Want to Kill Linlin with My Own Hands

Rhodes decided to temporarily forgo the Magnet-Magnet Fruit and not choose this overpowered Devil Fruit as his second option.

This fruit's power is indeed very strong. If developed properly, it would definitely be among the strongest. Kid, that idiot, just casually developed an electromagnetic cannon.

Assemble a steel robot and it will have that kind of combat power; this is just the most rudimentary and crudest use of this fruit.

However, this does not mean that Rhodey will give up the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, which represents one of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism!

He received an infusion of life energy, which increased his life level, allowing him to eat the second Devil Fruit.

Then, when one's death power is further enhanced, for example, by wearing the Lich King's Crown of Domination and gaining the power of domination.

The Soul-Soul Fruit will be completely absorbed by him, and the fruit will disappear, truly becoming Rod's own power, rather than the power of a Devil Fruit.

At that time, Rhodes could have eaten the third fruit, which is why he chose the Soul-Soul Fruit, not because he wanted to give up the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

I want the Soul-Soul Fruit! I want the Magnet-Magnet Fruit too! Only children make choices; I want them all.

Once that idiot Kid appears in the New World, Rhodes plans to capture him and extract the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

"Then let's get started without delay!" Rhodes said after finishing his meal and standing up.

No sooner said than done, I'll take out the Soul Fruit today.

With the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, I might be able to solve the werewolf curse problem. After all, it's a matter of spiritual energy, and a fruit related to the soul should be able to help.

"Should we wake that little girl up? After all, we're going to kill her mother," Sylvanas suggested.

"Hmm! Forget it! Don't call that girl anymore. Once she wakes up, everything will be settled." Rhodes said.

Killing someone's mother and then inviting their daughter to watch is going too far.

After the three finished eating, they went to Kaido's place and told him that they were going to retrieve the Soul-Soul Fruit.
