But the others didn't care about any of that. With the idea of "better to die than to die myself," they immediately dragged him over.
"Gudong..."
Another victim has emerged, though not yet fully formed.
Because he succeeded, he didn't smile; instead, his body began to deform!
Wow!
Suddenly, a pair of enormous bat wings unfurled from his back.
Its ears also turned into bat ears.
The artificial Devil Fruit, Bat-Man, was born!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, clearly stunned by this miracle.
Even Jack couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, then picked up the last fruit and examined it in his hand.
He initially thought the other party was lying, since Devil Fruits couldn't possibly be created by humans.
But now that I see it, it's actually true?
"Return!"
Jack immediately gave the order to hand this over to Kaido.
I'm sure Kaido will be very happy!
The Beasts Pirates – you can tell from the name itself what kind of force Kaido wants to build!
However, this process was too difficult, since even ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits are not easy to find.
But now, it seems there's been a turning point.
As for the son of that loan shark king, he might as well be handed over to Kaido to deal with as well.
Meanwhile, Doflamingo, far away on Ula Island, was unaware that he had been targeted by one of the most terrifying forces on the high seas.
He is still preparing for the next auction.
Having finally gotten such a good opportunity, he naturally wanted to maximize his profits.
Don't forget, there are a total of ten artificial Devil Fruits, and six are still left!
Even if all three are sold together, two more auctions can still be held.
This opportunity not only allows him to make a fortune, but also significantly increases his personal and family reputation and influence.
This is one of the reasons why he didn't care that his things were bought by the son of the loan shark king.
However, things may not develop as he wishes.
Chapter 593 Demon Island
Oni Island, located near Wano Country, is shaped like a giant horn of a demon.
It is the New World base of Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates.
Kaido, who was enjoying a good drink, suddenly received news that his top lieutenant, "Drought" Jack, was returning to port ahead of schedule.
He didn't take it seriously, and just told the other party to hurry up and come see him.
However, when Jack brought a 'bat-man' and a uniquely shaped fruit and explained the situation, Kaido immediately showed interest and put the gourd with the character "天" (heaven) on it aside.
"An artificial Devil Fruit? Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"Interesting, absolutely hilarious, Worororo!"
Kaido suddenly burst into laughter, finally revealing his true face from the darkness.
He was extremely tall and robust, with long black hair, a pair of long horns like dragon horns, a long beard like dragon whiskers on his mouth, and dragon scale tattoos on his left arm.
His upper body was naked, with an X-shaped scar on his right abdomen. He wore a purple shirt with two gold chains hanging from the hem, and dark green wide trousers with a shimenawa rope around his waist. He was also wearing a purple fur cloak, looking like a "demon" incarnate.
He grabbed the trembling 'Bateman' and began to examine it, no matter how hard it struggled, it was all in vain.
Kaido, merely out of curiosity, used a little force to test the guy's strength, and nearly crushed him to death.
This somewhat diminished Kaido's interest.
He casually tossed 'Batman' back and picked up the artificial Devil Fruit again.
Having narrowly escaped death, 'Batman' quickly flew away, and neither Kaido nor Jack cared.
"Do you think eating this will kill me?"
Jack honestly replied, "There is nothing in this world that can kill Boss Kaido."
"Worororo, well said, I'll take this. Go and bring back the rest, and also the guy who can make this thing."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Jack said confidently, not taking the Seven Warlords of the Sea seriously at all.
purchase?
Too much trouble.
Since we're all pirates, we should definitely do things the way pirates do!
The winner takes all, the loser is eliminated!
Unless the other person can show a side that he appreciates, perhaps he can look at them differently and give them a chance.
……
A few days later, the Don Quixote family's second auction on Ural Island was also successfully completed.
The artificial Devil Fruit 'SMILE', which was the final item in the auction, didn't attract any suckers this time, but it still managed to fetch a high price above Doflamingo's bottom line.
More importantly, they took advantage of the rumors that had been circulating before.
This time, he didn't even need to take out another one to verify its effects; this amazing product had already been accepted by the public.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that his reputation was used as collateral.
He wouldn't risk ruining his reputation for a mere few hundred million Berries.
"I plan to hold the third auction for 'Smile' in ten days, still for three, and these will be the last three of the year!"
"Once the auction is over, we'll immediately return to Dressrosa to expand the 'SMILE' factory's production line. I need so much more... a lot more 'SMILE'!"
During the impromptu family meeting, Doflamingo was in high spirits and extremely excited.
It was as if a bright future was laid out before him, ready for him to take.
To put it bluntly, these ten artificial Devil Fruits, 'SMILE', were merely products he used to test the waters.
But the result was better than he expected.
What if he could produce 50? Or 100 per year?
A stable income of billions of Berries a year, while continuously increasing one's influence on the high seas.
When the time comes, those fence-sitters will naturally know how to choose.
“Abel, keep a close eye on Caesar Couran. Go back first later and don’t let other forces get in touch with him. That guy is no honest man.”
"Now that 'smile' is selling so well, I reckon that once we get back, this guy will take the opportunity to make some demands again."
"But as long as it doesn't cross my bottom line, I can satisfy him."
"But the prerequisite is to increase the supply of 'SAD' so that this guy can seize the time to continue researching 'SMILE', preferably to remove the existing side effects, and to develop other types of more diverse artificial Devil Fruits!"
This success has made it impossible for Doflamingo to hide his ambition any longer.
The so-called 'SAD' is actually the raw material used in the processing of artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits 'SMILE', and it is also an application based on the "lineage factor" discovered by Vegapunk.
Caesar Courland is the only one who can produce 'SAD'.
It's no wonder that Doflamingo was so careful in giving this instruction.
Abel, sitting at the lower end of the table, nodded slightly, indicating that he would keep a close eye on Caesar Courland and not let this golden goose be snatched away by someone else.
With Abel's assurance, Doflamingo felt quite reassured.
Because Abel never disappointed him, and occasionally even surprised him!
After the meeting, Abel sought out Pike before leaving.
"I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Do you want to come with me?"
Pick paused for a moment; this was the second time Abel had warned him that there might be danger.
"Did he hear something? Did he tell the young master?"
"If only there were evidence, but this is just my gut feeling. I always felt that the big shots in the new world couldn't possibly be completely unresponsive. The current silence is too abnormal, like the calm before the storm."
Then Abel continued, "Do you think Captain Dover would give up so easily with such a vague speculation?"
Pique subconsciously shook his head; it was indeed impossible, and saying it wouldn't attract any attention.
Doflamingo is such a proud person, he probably wanted to see the most powerful force on this sea for a long time.
So it's useless to say that.
Pique thought for a moment, "Then I can't leave even more. After all, the young master has been kind to me. Although my strength is not as good as yours, I can still play a role."
Abel had anticipated that the guy wouldn't leave, so he simply took out a very small box.
"It contains something that can save your life. If you are seriously injured, open it and eat what's inside. I had a hard time getting this thing, so if you don't need it, don't be so kind. Think about your wife and children. If you still don't need it, that's for the best. Remember to return it to me later."
Pique took it and nodded seriously. "I know, thanks."
"I hope I'm just overthinking it. That's all. Let's come back and have a drink together."
Abel didn't say anything more, because he wasn't sure what would happen next.
But he was certain that some things were bound to happen sooner or later, if not this time, then next time.
