"In this ocean, going out to sea is the trend. Or rather, because the world is made up of small islands and there is no complete supercontinent, every ambitious person wants to go out to sea and explore."

"This is not a mistake, but a normal human desire for the unknown."

"Of course, there are also people who were oppressed by local evil forces and, after killing people, embarked on a path of no return."

"Because I killed someone and got a wanted warrant, I can only become a pirate."

"What is a pirate? There's no unified standard for this."

"So, many people started to do whatever they wanted at sea. Of course, maybe it was because they gave up after losing everything, or maybe it was simply because no one told them what to do."

"I once thought about creating a pirate code that tells everyone what they should and shouldn't do. The obedient ones will be kept, and the disobedient ones will be killed."

"But when I think about it, that's too much trouble. I'm too lazy to meddle in things I can't see."

"But if I do nothing, I feel really bad."

"Next, I plan to deal with the Big Mom Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, but the New World is not small. Both sides have a large territory. Even if I kill them all, all that's left is a pile of devastation."

"So, I plan to establish a force and take over the territories of those two major pirate groups after clearing them out, so as to prevent the local area from becoming chaotic."

"Whether from the perspective of interests or conscience, I think this is a very necessary thing."

"Thus, I came up with the idea of ​​establishing a hunters' guild."

"My conception of the Hunter's Guild is this..."

Chapter 213 Artificial Devil Fruit Project

After finishing all the plans in one breath, Baimu turned to look at Doflamingo and Crocodile.

"I sincerely invite you both to join the Hunter's Guild. I can offer each of you the position of Vice President."

"Heh...boring."

Crocodile had a look of disdain on his face, but due to the strength of the few people, he didn't dare to refuse directly. He just silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Then what do you think is not boring?" Bai Mu chuckled and asked back.

"I have more important things to do. I don't have time to get involved in your childish plans."

"Using the Dancing Powder's plan, will they make Cobra lose all its people and steal the Kingdom of Alabasta? Then search for the historical text and find Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons?"

Crocodile stood up instantly and stared at the white screen.

After a few seconds of silence, he sat down again, but with a little more anger on his face.

"How did you know? I think I hid it very well."

"Haha... If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Bai Mu smiled and shook his head.

"This is really... a crazy plan, fufufu..."

Doflamingo was smiling, looking at Crocodile as if he were a fool.

Yixiao put his hand on the hilt of the sword with murderous intent on his face, but after hesitating for a moment, he let go of his hand again.

"Hmph...! You're so stupid. No wonder you can't even use your Haki now." Barrett sneered, his face full of disdain.

Rayleigh didn't say anything, but just looked at Crocodile speechlessly. He didn't know where he got the courage to touch ancient weapons.

Moreover, it is really stupid that its strength has dropped so much after so many years.

"Ugh……"

Bai Mu sighed lightly and shook his head slightly:

"If Pluto were a weapon or something, I wouldn't say anything, but it's just a ship. Even if you find it, how can you be sure it won't be stolen?"

"What if someone with the Transparent Fruit ability sneaks aboard and poisons your food, or secretly dismantles important parts of the ship?"

"There are so many people with Devil Fruit abilities. Some can swim in the ground, and some can instantly appear dozens of miles away. What makes you think you can save the ship?"

"Also, what's recorded in Alabasta is just some trivial history. There's no mention of Pluto. Even if it does exist, it's meaningless. If I remember correctly, Pluto has been sleeping on the seabed of Wano Country. Can you defeat Kaido?"

"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of hiding his own secrets. Even Kaido would be attacked by the whole world if he revealed the existence of Hades."

"You want to conquer the world with just one ship? You're probably dreaming."

"Even if you get the blueprints for Pluto, make a million copies, and scatter them across the ocean, the world situation won't change at all. If everyone has it, then no one has it."

"By then, the battles between pirates will simply become more brutal."

The more Crocodile listened, the more disappointed he became, and his brows furrowed.

At this moment, he also realized the problem and inexplicably felt as if he was awakened.

Indeed, Pluto is just a ship.

As a pirate, robbing ships is a normal thing to do.

What's more, the world government cannot sit idly by.

Even so, he still felt a little dissatisfied with being criticized for being useless, and couldn't help but say:

"What about you? There's not a single expert among the bounty hunters. Even if a group of ants gather together, they are no match for an elephant."

"This is related to my other plan. Before that, let me show you what I have prepared."

Bai Mu waved his right hand lightly, and a drawer behind the counter in the hall opened automatically, and several copies inside flew straight towards him.

"Mr. Yixiao, you can't see the words, let me read them to you."

"The general idea is that the Hunter's Guild will be self-sufficient, but will still be an independent department under the World Government. After review, pirates who have never killed civilians can apply to join the Hunter's Guild and have their wanted notices removed."

"It has the signatures of the Five Elders. Even the Navy would have to acknowledge that Hunter is a legitimate profession."

"Fufufu..." Doflamingo put down the copy and used a smile to hide his shock, envy and jealousy. "I didn't expect that you are a Celestial Dragon. This is really surprising."

"you…!"

Hearing this, Crocodile, who realized it belatedly, widened his eyes and looked up at the white curtain.

"Since you have such an identity, why did you come to us? Wouldn't it be better to just ask the government or the navy to send someone to help you?"

"In that case, the Hunter's Guild wouldn't be a Hunter's Guild anymore, but an organization no different from the CP organization or the Navy. In my mind, Hunters should be an organization with more rules than pirates, but more loose than the Navy."

Bai Mu paused and said with a smile:

"I once heard someone say that the Pirate King is the freest person in the world."

"To that, all I can say is, it's nonsense."

"Pirate King? That's just an empty title. I'm constantly being hunted by the navy. If I don't rob, I barely have enough to eat. I always have to compete with my peers. If I have a child, it's even worse."

"If so-called freedom is built on the suffering of others, it is not freedom at all, it is just lawless mob rule."

"Many people only think about going to sea, but never consider what they will do after going to sea. They can only choose between the navy and pirates."

"But honestly, neither of these is the best option."

"Hunter provides everyone with a new option."

Seeing Crocodile's face full of disapproval, but a little expectation appeared on his face, Bai Mu smiled and said:

"In that case, let me talk about something that you and Doflamingo might be interested in. Do you know anything about artificial devil fruits?"

Doflamingo's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly reacted.

Yes, the other party is someone who can travel through time and space, and it is very likely that he knows the future.

The deal between him and Kaido certainly cannot be hidden from him.

"I can terminate the deal with Kaido, but if Kaido attacks, you must come to help."

"That madman Kaido, I really can't do anything about him."

Crocodile was stunned, and then he thought of a possibility and asked tentatively:

"Do you have the technology to create a man-made devil fruit?"

"It's not perfect yet. Currently, it can only produce animal-type creatures. Also, anyone who eats the fruit will lose all expressions except for smiling."

"...So that's how the Beasts Pirates' animal-type army came about."

Seeing this, Bai Mu took the initiative to speak, interrupting the two people:

"I said that's not it. This artificial fruit can only be considered a replica. Even the one created by Vegapunk is still somewhat different from the original."

"Although there is a lot of potential, the gap between Vegapunk and other scientists is too great, so there's no need to think about it for now."

"The artificial fruit I'm talking about is a different approach."

"Speaking of which, do you know the origin of the devil fruit?"

Seeing that several people looked confused, only Rayleigh's eyes flashed a glint, and then he quickly lowered his head. Bai Mu spoke again:

"Some say there's a devil fruit tree in this world, and all devil fruits grow from that tree."

"Some also say that devil fruits are treasures created by ancient people, and that the technology used has long been lost."

"But from what I understand, Devil Fruits are actually other possibilities of human evolution, born in response to people's wishes."

"In people's imagination, what humans should look like and what abilities they should have in the future."

"And every imagination is a new possibility, which will form a new devil fruit."

"The proof is that throughout history, no one has ever collected a complete Devil Fruit encyclopedia. Every time people think the encyclopedia has included all the Devil Fruits, a new Devil Fruit appears."

"Because devil fruits bring supernatural powers, they are naturally rejected by the sea. This is also nature's punishment for human greed."

"So, I have an idea."

"There are countless varieties of devil fruits, but at the end of the day, the imagination of ordinary people is limited to that extent."

"If we make up some stories, setting up the protagonists in the stories to have various magical powers, and spread the stories across the sea, perhaps many very powerful fruits will soon be born."

"For example, after the protagonist of the story dies, he can return to a previous point in time. Every time he dies, he will be reborn. This may give rise to a fruit of rebirth."

“The protagonist can travel into the storybook, communicate with the people in the book, and take out the treasures inside.”

"The protagonist can absorb sunlight to infinitely strengthen his body, and can also transform into the sun and burn the world."

"The protagonist can make a wish to the world, and one wish will be granted every day, just like a lottery."

"The protagonist can clone himself infinitely, and each clone can eat a new devil fruit."

"The protagonist can draw strength from the earth. As long as they stand on the earth, their strength will be endless, they will never tire, injuries can be instantly healed, and they will never die."

At the end, Bai Mu chuckled:

"Devil fruits are miraculous. Since there are natural fruits that can control nature, and mythical beast fruits that can transform into imaginary monsters, why don't they have the ones I mentioned?"

"In the final analysis, it's just that people don't dare to think about it, and haven't thought about it."

Doflamingo stared blankly at the white screen, unable to recover for a long time, thinking unconsciously:

Is this true or false? Could it be that the origin of the Devil Fruit has already been determined in the future?

However, he does have some truth to him.

If such a devil fruit really existed, it would be ridiculously powerful just thinking about it.

Just, is this possible?

"Suppose, suppose... what you said is true, and such a devil fruit really is born, the person who eats it will become unimaginably strong."

"Besides, no one knows where the devil fruit will be reborn. This is just making things easier for others."

Bai Mu shook his head slightly, and a ball of dark mist burst out from his right hand. He slowly spoke:

"I ate the Nature-type Dark-Dark Fruit. The essence of darkness is devouring. Anyone touched by my black mist will temporarily lose the ability of the fruit."

"At the same time, anyone killed by me with one move will have their fruit power trapped in the black fog and unable to escape."

"As long as you prepare the same type of fruit in advance, the ability will enter the fruit and form the corresponding devil fruit."

"In other words, I can kill the Devil Fruit user and have the Devil Fruit regenerate in the same spot, with a 100% success rate."

Doflamingo's eyes became unusually bright, and even the sunglasses on his face could not hide his excitement at the moment.

"Fufufufu... I see. That's not surprising. No wonder you made such a decision."

"That's right, please allow me to participate in the Hunter Guild's affairs!"

What a monster!
