Pirates Never Work Overtime

When Mers woke up again, it was already three days later. He only felt a little wet on his face. He slowly opened his tired eyes and saw Xiong Er squinting his little bear eyes and looking at him nervously.

"It's you Xiong Er! Thank you very much. I'm fine. You should also take a good rest!" Seeing Xiong Er's listless look, he guessed that the other party had not rested for many days in order to take care of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Er opened his mouth and smiled happily, and then slowly fell on Mers's chest. It made him feel very distressed. At the same time, he secretly determined that as long as he was around, no one would bully this little boy.

Guy.

Although he had just woken up, Mers still felt sore all over, and a feeling of exhaustion came from the depths of his soul. He didn't bother to check his surroundings, slightly adjusted his posture to a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

After a night, Mers finally felt that his body had completely recovered. Although his head still hurt a little, it was still bearable.

Carefully holding Xiong Er in his arms, he remembered that his Senbonzakura seemed to have been swallowed by that damn box.

Ignoring the others, I stood up and quickly looked at the box. I saw that there was nothing inside except an extremely dark stone and a book page made of the same material and the same size as the Fredo Empire's national bag. Where could I find myself?

The traces of my beloved sword Senbonzakura.

Picking up the metal page, I saw this message engraved on it:

"To my only true friend Rondo, I'm sorry! I ruined everything because of my ignorance and audacity.

In the end, I can only leave you this treasure that can contain and strengthen the devil fruit. I hope you can lead the empire to rise again! The empire cannot live without you! - Sinner Heenan."

Heenan? It seems that this guy is the mad scientist who tried to take the devil for his own use. It seems that this is the relic of his attempt to control the devil's soul.

But it seems that the king of the Fredo Empire did not take a step here until his death. Will he not be able to forgive his good friend until his death?

After thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific problem, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued reading with the last words. He was curious about what horrible treasures this crazy doctor left behind.

'My dear friend Patricia XVIII, when I see this, it is no surprise that I should have been taken away by the devil. My ignorant soul should have been taken away by the devil. I know that you did not believe that humans can control the soul of the devil from the beginning.

This is a fallacy, but because of my self-confidence and the 40-year friendship between you and me, I still chose to support me in this absurd research without any hesitation.

But you must not know! Where does my confidence to challenge the devil come from? This is the only secret I hide from you. Unfortunately, I still underestimate the soul in the 'Inherited Sacred Artifact'. If I had not taken it

It would be great, maybe there is still a slim hope.

It's a pity that I, who has been permanently inhabited by the devil, have signed an unknown contract with the devil a long time ago. As the party being contracted, I actually tried to tamper with the contract. You think it is ridiculous. When I discovered all this, everything was irreversible.

.

The more I talk, the more verbose I become. It turns out that I am still just a small human being, and I still want to shrink back in the face of death.

The unknown meteorite in Rondo's box is the trump card that supports me in carrying out this research to challenge the devil. I have been researching it from the moment I got it. Unfortunately, up to now I have only discovered that it can achieve the goal by absorbing the ability of Devil Fruit.

A downgrade effect.

You guessed it right, it's a downgrade.

If Devil Fruits are divided into levels, you can imagine that you cut a small opening on a Level 5 Devil Fruit that has never been eaten by anyone, and put a fresh fruit of the same type next to it. After 3 days, you will

You will get a new level 4.5 Devil Fruit.

Do you think its effect is just like this? No! Of course it's not just that. The most terrifying thing about it is that if you put it on the wound of a dying ability user, you can get a downgraded Devil Fruit after 3 days.

.

If you put two or more Devil Fruits together, they will eventually mutate. This is the origin of the medicine I produce. Because the process is too bloody, I call it - the rough stone of desire.'

When I saw this, I have to say that Morse was really shocked. He couldn't help but think in his mind: Damn, isn't this the main source of krypton gold in the various games I played in my previous life - the forging and strengthening device!

I didn’t expect this thing to be as horrifying as it was in another world. A whole country lamented that it was gone. Fortunately, it was hidden here. Otherwise, the world of One Piece would not know where it would go. At least Blackbeard’s multi-power and fruit-depriving ability.

It won't look so unique.

However, it has also been confirmed that whether it is a non-chief, a liver emperor or a krypton gold boss, encountering a strengthening stone is destined to ruin your life. I have to say that Heenan and the Fredo Empire are quite lucky, and the ones they meet are 100% successful.

Strengthening stones, at least they won't explode, right?

But it seems that it is precisely because of this that the Fredo Empire can continue to crazily attack Krypton. Otherwise, if they were to explode several times in a row, they would have given up long ago and would still research a hammer demon soul.

He smiled and continued reading to see what kind of tricks this Dr. Heenan could do with a kryptonite from another world.

'The empire should be in endless panic now because of! I really want to thank you! My dear friend, even at this time, you are still willing to believe in me, protect me, and believe without reservation that I can help you quell this virus.

.

It's a pity that I really couldn't do it, everything was irreversible, but fortunately I only chose to use the 'Inherited Sacred Artifact' for research at that time, and did not use any animal or natural devil fruits.

So as long as you carry this gem with you, all viruses will have nothing to do with you. As long as you are here, the Fredo Empire will never die, because you are my best friend and the wisest king in the history of the Fredo Empire! Empire

Because you will continue to be on top of the world with perseverance.

Wear it and wait for the passage of time, and you will find that the Flame Dragon Fruit will become stronger and stronger until you become the strongest in the world.

The empire will be strong because of you - Sinan Conan's last words!'

At the end of the day, Mers realized that apart from knowing that this strengthening stone seemed to be able to silently strengthen the wearer's strength over time, it had no use for him. What was even more egregious was that his Senbonzakura was swallowed by it as a devil fruit.

Lost!

Wait! Swallow it!

Mers suddenly remembered the enhanced properties of this stone, and quickly rummaged through the whole house trying to find the Senbonzakura generated from the heart, but unfortunately there was nothing except the contents of the box.

In the end, I could only grab the strengthening stone in the box with a little disappointment. I wanted to change his shape and find a top blacksmith to add some materials to create a Senbonzakura from his heart. It was regarded as revenge for the Senbonzakura that was swallowed by it.
