The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

It's his Observation Haki... It just has a wide range and can hear people's thoughts, but its strength is rather average.

It is becoming more functional.

"These eyes are a great help!"

John stepped off the operating table and went to the full-length mirror in the corner, turning left and right to admire his new body.

Although this body was cloned based on the bloodline of the Lunaria race, it lacks the race's signature dark skin and wings.

It was completely identical to his previous body; no one else could tell the difference.

As he clenched his fists, the air around him cracked with a loud "pop," and the continuous power made John feel like he could smash the research institute to pieces with a single punch.

"Great! Fantastic!"

"So what did you do with your old body? Throw it in the trash?" Bergabank asked casually.

He was actually somewhat dissatisfied with John; if he were to get a new body, he would want to have a beautiful young girl.

And she has to be the kind with big breasts and a big butt!

He originally wanted to persuade John to change to the body of a charming and mature woman, but John was very resistant and almost got into a fight.

What a boring guy.

"no!"

John took clothes from the wardrobe next to the full-length mirror while outlining his plan.

"I must preserve my original body. Once I find 'SIQ,' I will use the most ordinary bloodline to undergo infinite evolution."

"I will create a completely new bloodline!"

Chapter 104 Somaz's Journey to Win Hearts (2)

“Good idea, but when can you get me 'SIQ'?”

Begabank crossed his arms and glared at John.

This guy keeps talking about "SIQ," but he's never actually shown the product to him.

He was also very curious about what kind of magical plant could help organisms quickly adapt to their environment and evolve at an accelerated pace.

"It's coming, it's coming soon."

John dropped his promise, strode out of the operating room, walked down the long corridor to the laboratory, and picked up a metal heart from the instrument table.

Mary Geoise

In the sacred and noble hall of the mansion, a mermaid chases a piranha in a huge fish tank, her terrified pupils reflecting the maniacal smile of the orange-haired man standing in front of the tank.

"Run away to survive, experience the true meaning of life, and pay the highest tribute to God with your blood!"

The naked Somaz Saint, looking sickly, was extremely excited as he watched the mermaids desperately trying to survive in the fish tank.

Suddenly, Somaz was struck dumb as if by lightning. His legs went weak and he knelt on the expensive carpet, clutching his left chest and his pupils trembling.

"My heart, how could this happen!"

He clearly learned from one of the captured pirates in the Pete Pirates that the group did not obtain Captain John's treasure after killing him.

His heart, too, should have been left behind forever in some unknown corner of the world along with Captain John's death.

But now, why is his heart being electrocuted?

"Damn it, did someone find my heart?"

Somaz quickly got up, put on his clothes, and hurriedly left Mary Geoise, following the faint electric current.

Dressrosa, G-10 branch base.

Barrett was sent flying backward, crashing into the corner wall of the corridor with a thud. He slid to the ground, gritting his teeth as he looked at the white-cloaked figure walking towards him.

Damn, those guys called CP0 are so strong!

"Little brat."

The CP0 leader, wearing an Easter bunny mask, looked down at Barrett with cold eyes.

"You have great potential. Here's a chance for you to join CP."

"Tch! What do you take me for? I'm going to become the strongest man in the world, why would I bow down to you!"

Barrett struggled to his feet, his body nearly falling apart, and clenched his fists, assuming a fighting stance.

Upon seeing this, a hint of contempt appeared in the eyes of the CP0 rabbit mask, and his figure transformed into a blur, suddenly appearing in front of Barrett, raising his index finger to stab at Barrett's shoulder.

Finger gun!

puff

The index finger pierced through flesh and blood as easily as a bullet, penetrating deep into Barrett's shoulder, and then spurted blood from the wound as the finger was withdrawn.

The intense pain caused Barrett's pupils to roll upwards, and he could no longer hold on, losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground along the wall.

"Take this brat back and train him well so he can serve the Celestial Dragons in the future."

Rabbit CP0 tossed out a sentence, turned around, and walked into the next corridor.

Behind him followed three figures in white cloaks, each wearing an Easter mask representing a sheep, a chicken, and a monkey. The largest of these, a sheep, lifted Barrett up and tucked him under its arm.

As they entered the next corridor, the scene that unfolded at the end of the corridor revealed rows of marines lying in pools of blood.

After navigating through corridors, the group finally arrived at the base commander's office, whose door was tightly shut.

Rabbit CP0 kicked the door open, startling Reed, who was sitting behind his desk. Reed then stood up and forced a smile to greet him.

"Sirs, what brings you here?"

CP0 ignored Reed, his gaze fixed on the three corpses draped in white cloaks lying on the floor in front of his desk, his pupils flashing coldly.

"Where is the criminal John?"

"Sir, that's exactly what I was going to say."

Reed pretended to rummage around on his body, and after a while, he finally pulled out a permanent pointer from the right pocket of his Justice Coat.

“I was trying to trick him into revealing information, but he saw through my plan. Then he told me that he had this in his desk drawer and that I should use it to find him.”

Rabbit CP0 snatched the permanent pointer and saw that the label on it read Dressrosa!

"Is the criminal John hiding on this island?"

"Uh……"

Reed scratched his head, pretending to try to remember, and then nodded.

He said you don't need to look for him, he will come to you.

"Ah!"

The rabbit CP0 was amused, crushed the permanent pointer, and squatted down to examine the corpses of his three comrades on the ground.

However, the cause of death he saw made him unable to laugh anymore, and his face turned solemn.

If these three bodies had not been moved, then they were standing together without any resistance, waiting to be slaughtered by the criminal John, who ripped out their hearts.

Is he a Devil Fruit user?

"No, the marines from the branch and the people of Dressrosa have all seen John swimming in the sea."

When questioned about intelligence, Reed was very cooperative, saying whatever he knew without hiding anything.

The rabbit CP0 was professionally trained, and from Reed's unwavering gaze and steady heartbeat, it could be determined that he was not lying.

"I just hope that the criminal John ate the Devil Fruit in the last few days, otherwise it will be troublesome."

He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if he hadn't used his Devil Fruit powers...

Instead, he killed three colleagues in an instant with just his domineering aura and physical skills, leaving them no time to resist. How terrifying must his power be!

"Should we issue a bounty?" asked the "sheep" standing at the back.

The rabbit didn't respond to him, but instead looked at Reed:

Do you have a picture of John?

“No, he never takes pictures, and all the recordings from the surveillance Den Den Mushi in the base were deleted when he left.” Reed shrugged helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Rabbit felt increasingly uneasy; John's emphasis on his intelligence was beyond imagination.

It seems that a huge secret was already hidden before the events in the country of endless war!

"Then we can have anyone who has seen John draw a portrait based on their memory and offer a reward," Yang suggested.

The rabbit pondered for a moment, realizing this was "a last resort," and finally nodded.

"Major Reed, then I'll have to cooperate, but if you try anything underhanded..."

The threat wasn't explicitly stated, but he believed the other party understood its meaning.

"Don't worry, I'm a righteous navy officer, I would never protect criminals!" Reed patted his chest, his face full of loyalty.

After a long time

The CP0 team left the G-10 branch base with Barrett and an exaggerated human face portrait.

After seeing them off, Reed rushed back to the base and took pictures of the marines lying in pools of blood in the corridor.

In fact, these marines did not resist at all, nor did they prevent CP0 from entering the base.

But those guys deliberately showed off, directly attacking the marines who were a little slow to react or hesitated when answering questions.

When the marines saw their brothers, with whom they had shared life and death, being attacked, they naturally rose up in retaliation and fought the arrogant CP0 to the bitter end.

"Damn it, where are the medics? Where are they?!"

After taking the photos, Reed ran around the base shouting for help to rescue the wounded.
