Pirates Never Work Overtime

And the record left by the last writer just solved all his previous doubts.

The person who left the records behind Yukine Kiri, a professional historian, can be seen from the handwriting alone that he is not a professional. Compared with Yukine Kiri and all the previous historians, the neat and beautiful carvings

Compared with the fonts, what the last seal-carver who worked miracles with great strength just looked like something ants had crawled over. It was scrawled in a panic, and it didn’t look like it was left by a serious historian.

It was this last record that delayed Morse for a long time. If the content in it were not so exciting, he would have given up several times.

The content inside is sorted out, and the general meaning is:

"Hello, the destined person who has obtained the national treasure of the Fredo Empire. I am the last king of the Fredo Empire, Emperor Patricia XVIII.

When you read this message, I think my empire has been destroyed. Even if it is not destroyed, it is definitely no longer the Fredo Empire that I said I knew. After all, I witnessed with my own eyes the descendants who have the blood of my royal family.

Died one after another.

Our faith no longer exists. Maybe one day someone will be able to pick up our faith again, but all this has nothing to do with me.

It's ridiculous to say it. Not long ago, I was reprimanding that rigid idiot Keely for actually engraving my self-proclaimed wise decision on a national treasure as a warning to future generations. Only now do I understand whether he meant what he said.

Wrong, I am indeed stupid and ignorant.

All of this is my fault. As the king of the empire, I ignored the dissuasion of my officials and made a wrong decision that I will regret for the rest of my life.

I shouldn't support those scholars. In the face of endless exploration of science, those scholars are simply madmen and have no regard for any risks. Especially after learning that the Holy Stone can contain Devil Fruit, they unreasonably proposed to enter.

The request to conduct research in the Holy Land is just to bet on the one in ten thousand chance of success.

You must know that the Fredo Empire where I am located is definitely the best in the world in terms of research on superhuman devil fruits. Even in the endless sea, no country can match us. If it were not restricted by navigation,

If we were technologically backward, we could have ruled the entire world long ago.

It is for this reason that the empire has always called the superhuman Devil Fruit the 'inherited sacred object'. It is precisely because of it that we can gradually develop from a small marginal country to the overlord of the South China Sea.

Just when I was leading my subjects to quell rebellions at home and enemies outside, and implemented benevolent policies to bring the Fredo Empire to its strongest period since its founding, my close friend Dr. Heenan, the chief scholar of the empire, told me that he had been working under the Holy Stone.

With help, he discovered the secret of the Devil Fruit.

If his research is successful, the people of the empire will be able to obtain the abilities possessed by their fathers without eating the 'inherited sacred objects'.

Moreover, the Devil Fruit can be perfectly deprived of the ability user before his death, so that the kingdom will not lose this ability due to the death of the ability user.

In other words, as long as the 'inherited holy relics' appear in the Fredo Empire, they will no longer flow outside.

After learning the news, the entire imperial capital's senior officials were shocked. You must know that the reason why the royal family and nobles can become the leaders of this empire is because we have been able to maintain the 'inherited sacred objects' that we want.

Our strength will not suddenly decline.

In fact, Xinan's first experiment was indeed successful. With the help of the drug, the first batch of noble offspring who actively accepted the experiment actually inherited some of their parents' abilities after they were born.

But it didn’t take long for us to discover that there was an inevitable flaw in this drug, and the horrific addiction and dependence made us decide to give it up.

However, Dr. Heenan did not give up his research on the 'Inherited Sacred Artifacts' because of this. In order to solve the side effects of his research results, he became even more crazy.

Finally, one day he found me and expressed his thoughts to me sincerely and seriously.

To be honest, I was shocked after hearing his unconstrained and almost dreamlike idea. But if it succeeds, the empire's strength will undergo a terrifying qualitative change. The huge benefits blinded my eyes. I really want to

The wishes of our ancestors have been completed.

The theory that Dr. Heenan has studied for many years is that the "demon" in the "inherited sacred object" can be restrained and controlled for his own use.

Why can’t we negotiate with Devil Fruit ‘souls’ and even use them for our own use? If it really succeeds, wouldn’t it mean that all of our citizens can become espers, and even all abilities can be freely chosen by us?

At that time, I had been blinded by this huge benefit, and I readily agreed to Dr. Heenan's request, using all the resources available in the kingdom for him, and even emptied the holy places where the secrets of our royal family were hidden, so that

The base he used for experiments.

Five years, a full five years, amidst the doubts of all the subjects and the descendants of the royal family, Dr. Heenan told me with excitement that he succeeded. He actually succeeded in developing a method to renew the contract with the 'Demon Soul'

.

But as the king, of course I cannot allow outsiders to conduct experiments. If they really succeed, the empire will change. So I found my relatives and asked them to sign up on a voluntary basis.

In order to stand out, my descendants agreed to this experiment one after another. From then on, the experiment began smoothly, and the nightmare of the empire also began.

At the beginning, the relatives who conducted the experiment greatly increased their strength. Without eating the 'inherited sacred objects', they actually obtained the abilities they wanted. It even appeared that the same portion could be used by multiple people, and one person had multiple abilities.

A terrible situation of medium ability.

In just one year, thanks to the help of this group of juniors, there were no more sea monster attacks in the imperial waters, and the stability of the kingdom instantly rose to several levels.

But a year later, I began to discover abnormalities. A terrible genetic disease suddenly appeared in the royal family. The bodies of everyone who participated in the experiment began to weaken rapidly. Those children with multiple abilities even began to

Bit by bit it collapsed and dissipated.

After discovering this situation, I immediately set out to find Dr. Heenan to find out what happened, but when I found him, I found that he was full of holes and bleeding in an independent laboratory in the Holy Land.

Only then did I know that he had done this experiment on himself early in the morning. When he discovered that the gene had lesions, it was already too late. The collapse of the genetic bloodline was uncontrollable. He just held on for me in the end.

He left a last message.

In his last words, I learned that his so-called contract with the 'Devil Soul' was just an upgrade of the drug, and Dr. Heenan conducted human experiments based on pure luck.

After learning about this situation, I immediately ordered the entire Holy Land to be sealed off, but it was already too late.

The genes of those royal families had begun to collapse. What was even more frightening was that the nobles of the empire also secretly took this drug. Everything became out of control. When I realized it, people who had taken the drug began to develop a terrible...

of infectious viruses.

This kind of virus has no impression on ordinary people, but for us who are also 'inherited sacred objects', it is completely fatal.

But in my empire, because of the first phase of the experiment, all the people in the center of the imperial capital have more or less the ability to eat. In just one week, the empire has already fallen into the cholera virus.

As for me, I was not infected by this virus because I inherited the animal type, phantom beast type, and fire giant devil fruit.

It's ridiculous to say that in an empire that regards Superman-type Devil Fruit as a sacred object, the royal family is actually a user with the ability of an animal-type Devil Fruit. However, this is the secret of each of our emperors. Even the ordinary children of the royal family don't know it.

.

And this is also the fundamental reason why Dr. Heenan dared to start the experiment, because as a royal, I actually succeeded in inheriting the Devil Fruit.

Blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. Not only did the people of the kingdom undergo devastating changes, but even the environment on the island began to change.

Various creatures began to return to their ancestors one after another, and the most serious among them were the various beasts secretly cultivated by various families in the imperial capital. After being infected by the virus, each of them grew in size and increased tenfold in strength, making them terrifying and abnormal.

Seeing this, I could only call back all the royal children who were still outside, and at the same time ordered the imperial capital to be completely sealed off to prevent this virus from spreading.

In just three months, the originally beautiful forest in the imperial capital has turned into a death zone, and the warriors of the kingdom have also become more and more crazy. The long period of killing and the impact of the virus have simply made it impossible.

Unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, they began to kill each other.

I knew at that time that my empire was destroyed.

We are invincible, and the "Fredo Empire" that dominates the South China Sea will disappear in the long river of history, and I will also become a sinner of this kingdom.

At the end of my life, I chose to sacrifice myself and roll up the boundless sea water to try to submerge the imperial capital, hoping that I could succeed.

——Emperor Patricia XVIII. Sin"
