A subtle look appeared in his eyes.

The Wavebreaker was anchored in a cave-like harbor directly below the island, separated by the sea. At that moment, a ship on the sea slowly and fearfully looked towards Tote's ship.

"Bajs, Zoro, you two take care of them."

Soon, Bages, grinning savagely, charged forward with the calm Zoro.

Tote and his companions arrived at the innermost part of the port, where a huge gear elevator appeared, large enough to carry the Wavebreaker, leading directly to Clockwork Island.

After examining it, Thoth sighed helplessly, and Karina complained:

"The control switch is on the main island above; you can't get up there from here."

Leaving Van Augur and the others to watch the ship, Nami transformed into a white tiger and led Thoth and the others into the sky, heading towards Clockwork Island.

Nami quickly boarded the Mercedes and ascended into the sky. The wind howled overhead, and soon they arrived at Clockwork Island, where a spiral island shaped like a conch shell appeared before them.

The island is dotted with windmills that generate electricity, and uniquely styled spiral-roofed buildings are constructed on the hillsides along the island's edge.

A peaceful town appears here, and at the very top of the island stands a huge, pointed castle, though its walls are covered in graffiti of PokerStars' card flag logo.

It destroyed the castle's magnificence.

It gives people a clownish feeling.

On the back of the white tiger, Nojiko sighed with a helpless expression:

"Just like we Cocoyasi used to be, we are ruled by these sea monsters."

Thoth smiled and patted Nami's neck. "Go straight to that castle."

Nami responded, and with a sonic boom from beneath her four feet, the white tiger's figure transformed into a blur in the sky, rapidly approaching the castle.

At the same time,

Inside the castle's main hall, a scantily clad blonde woman was hosting a sensual party with a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

Both extravagant and unrestrained

Sweetheart Queen, her beautiful face flushed and her eyes glazed, curled up in the arms of a handsome, drunk man with a bare torso.

For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Ever since Big Bear King and Pig Jack were killed by Dragu, she had been captured by that pervert. But less than two days later, that guy disappeared without a trace.

And soon, people from the King of Loans came to question her. It turned out that the devilish Drago who terrified her had been killed by the Weapon Master.

This is truly gratifying.

She secretly ran back. Although the Great Bear King was dead, her immunity to physical paste allowed her to still be a local tyrant on the island.

She took over the original arms business and became the new boss of PokerStars. However, the outside world was too dangerous, and she no longer wanted to go out. The pressure in her heart was too great, so she simply let go completely and built her own harem here to completely let herself go.

Life is meant to be enjoyed.

What weapons, what underworld bigwigs? She can just stay in this secluded sky city and enjoy life.

"Wow! That's some fancy moves!"

Nami sensed their presence with her Observation Haki, but they didn't come in. Thoth appeared in the spacious hall, and at that moment, a sudden, calm sound came from inside. Sweet Queen looked over, and the confusion in her eyes was quickly replaced by terror. She instinctively turned into a madwoman and ran away in an instant.

Thoth's gaze was calm, and an invisible aura of dominance was released in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the whites of everyone in the castle rolled back and they all fainted.

Sweet Queen's slender figure appeared slumped against the window, her fair and round breasts protruding. Thoth's eyes were calm, but he looked at the fruits and wines in the hall.

Thoth walked over and picked up a cantaloupe that resembled the pulpy fruit in his memory and in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

Thoth didn't know whether different Devil Fruits would choose similar fruits to rely on when they were reborn, so he simply chose to use these similar fruits for the experiment.

However, after thinking about this, Thoth took a few more different fruits.

At this moment, he manipulated the wood spirit vines to wrap around Sweetheart Queen's body and dragged her straight outside the castle.

Nami and the other two looked at each other, watching Thoth bring out the scantily clad woman.

"Thoth, what's going on?"

Karina looked surprised; she knew, of course, that Thoth wasn't the kind of person to act casually.

Thoth knew Sweetheart Queen. His eyes were calm as he looked at Namino Kiko and said, "You two go find the person in charge of this island. Karina and I have a little research to do."

Nami gave Sweetheart Queen a disdainful look, then turned to Karina with a warning glance, her eyes conveying a clear message.

Karina made an OK sign with her right hand, promising that Thoth would not be allowed to come into contact with this promiscuous woman.

The two sisters quickly left the area.

"Let's begin!" said Thoth.

Karina nodded, and the card absorbed Thoth. As the two merged together, Thoth took control of the body, looked at the Sweet Queen in front of him, and threw several fruits at her. In an instant, a sharp wood spirit spike pierced through her heart.

Immediately afterwards, a blank card appeared on her, absorbing her and the fruits into it. In the blink of an eye, the card was stored in Thoth's card space.

Thoth closed his eyes and sensed the changes in the [Queen Card] within the card space. As all things breathed, Sweetheart Queen died.

In Thoth's perception, the hazy, elusive pulses of the pulpy fruit seemed to become more active.

Thoth observed quietly, anticipating the magical change he desired.

Due to the Devil Fruit's rebirth mechanism and the unique dimensional rules of the space stored within the card, the Goo Goo Fruit's existence cannot escape the card space's continuum...

As time passed, a bright light appeared in Thoth's eyes. The shape of the melon among the fruits on the card changed, and spiral arabesque patterns suddenly appeared on it.

After a few breaths, the outer skin of the fruit appeared in the card.

Thoth's eyes widened in surprise. "Could it be that different demon fruits are reborn and choose to be from specific types of fruit?"

"However, the current data is too limited and can be further verified later."

The 【Sweetheart Queen】 card appeared in my hand, and with a snap, it shattered. Accompanied by blinding white light spots, thick, dark blue vines pierced the earth, tearing up the soil and burying the corpse inside.

Tote held a pulpy fruit in his hand.

'Looks like we succeeded!'

Karina's thoughts echoed in his mind, and Thoth calmly said, "Good, we succeeded."

'The gooey fruit is quite interesting, except that it seems that after the body transforms into a fluid, the clothes on the body don't gooey along with it.'

'Or perhaps Sweet Queen's development of her abilities is just too poor.'

Thoth said in his consciousness.

Looking at the pulpy fruit in her hand, Karina asked curiously, "Are you planning to let one of Baggios and the others eat it?"

'No, the power of this Pus-Pus Fruit isn't really a good match for them.'

However, as he said this, a thoughtful look appeared in Thoth's eyes. In the blink of an eye, his right hand transformed into a wood spirit, and the plant grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a lifelike wood spirit form of Karina appeared.

—Wood Spirit. Living Doppelganger.

During this period, Thoth developed a special active clone technique based on the Wood Release: Wood Clone from his previous life in "Naruto".

—Wood Spirit. Existence Transformation.

Under Thoth's control, the inside of the Wood Spirit Karina's body transformed into flesh and blood, but her outside was covered by a dark blue-black, form-fitting Wood Spirit skin.

It is a wood spirit scale pattern armor that grows on the skin, just like wearing a set of dark blue, close-fitting plant-based leather armor.

What are you trying to do?

At this moment, the chest cavity of the Wood Spirit Karina opened, revealing a stomach inside that was a fine semi-implant, semi-flesh structure.

Thoth stuffed the pulpy fruit inside, and then, as his chest cavity closed, Thoth manipulated the roots of his stomach to take root in the pulpy fruit, devouring and absorbing it.

At the same time, Thoth severed his connection with the wood spirit, Karina.

If a body with flesh and blood absorbs the slurry fruit, will it become a user with abilities similar to the Living Fruit?

Thoth sensed the pulpy fruit inside the Wood Spirit Karina's body, which had been completely devoured and decomposed. At this moment, he reached out and placed his hand on the Wood Spirit Karina's shoulder, establishing a connection between the Wood Spirits. A surge of consciousness rushed in and instantly flowed throughout the entire body of the Wood Spirit Karina, controlling her.

At that moment, a strange instinct arose in his heart. Relying on the principle of the "life artifact's" characteristics, he poured his consciousness into it, and his body instantly transformed into a pool of water, rapidly traversing the ground.

The power of the Pulp-Pulp Fruit manifested freely in Kodama Karina.

The resulting fluid paste can have high viscosity and can also be released as a powerful fluid impact.

Thoth's body emitted a burst of light, and Karina's figure appeared in the outside world. At this moment, Thoth manipulated the "paste" to restore his human form and severed the connection between himself and the wood spirit.

Thoth did not intend to retract this Wood Spirit flesh and blood clone into his body. If it were to merge back into his body and bring back the Paste ability, then Thoth would have nowhere to cry.

"I'll give you a body; absorb it as a card and merge it with yourself."

Karina was taken aback, and then realized that Thoth had done this for her.

A sweet smile appeared in her eyes as she stared intently at Tote. She took a step closer to him and kissed him on the lips.

After a period of enthusiasm.

Karina smiled and said, "Thank you, darling, I love this gift!"

A card is affixed to the living Wood Spirit plant, absorbing and storing itself in the card space.

Karina blinked, and with a thought, the card merged with herself.

As the fused white light disappeared, Thoth looked at the girl who appeared before him. She was still wearing his clothes, but her skin had turned into a bluish-black wood spirit structure.

Karina raised her hand to examine herself, and in the blink of an eye, her body transformed into a liquid form. Her clothes fell off, and in the blink of an eye, her fluid form reformed into a human shape.

The Karina who appeared before me was wearing a lifelike plant suit made of wood spirits that fit her body perfectly.

"Thoth, what do you see?"

Karina suddenly spoke, and the wood spirit skin armor on her body suddenly retracted back under her skin, instantly revealing a delicate and fair figure.

In the blink of an eye, fine wood spirit fibers grew and wove around Karina's body, creating a form-fitting, dark blue wood spirit bodysuit covered in scales.

The girl's graceful figure was tightly covered by a plant-based garment, her body's lines rising and falling evenly. A flicker of excitement appeared in Karina's eyes:

"After merging with the living wood spirit clone you created, I can inherit some basic plant manipulation skills from the living clone."

Just like this, clothes are woven from the fibers of the tree spirit root, and because it is a living plant, it can also be gelatinized.

Thoth stroked his chin, looking at Karina's slender figure, a smile appearing in his eyes: "Just as I guessed. So, how long do you think you can remain fused with the Wood Spirit clone?"

Karina blinked and looked up at the sun in the sky. "I feel a warm energy slowly emerging in my body. It's the photosynthesis that the Wood Spirit plant possesses."

Although their energy is constantly being depleted after merging, it is replenished through photosynthesis.

I think that barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to integrate for a long time.

In this state, my energy is constantly being depleted and replenished, which should allow me to continuously and effectively exercise my body.

At this point, Karina's body suddenly turned into a liquid paste, flowing into her clothes on the ground beside her, like a beautiful snake, her graceful figure slowly unfolding between her clothes.

After she straightened up, she found that her clothes were already intact.

The wood spirit fibers in the skin also retracted back into the body.

As she dissolves the fusion, the Wood Spirit Karina appears beside her in a flash of white light, but is immediately absorbed back into the card's body.

Karina stuck out her tongue: "That's the troublesome part. To break the fusion, you have to absorb and store it again using cards."

"Once your card abilities are awakened, you should be able to permanently create this type of card."

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it, so I'll work even harder to develop my abilities."

Using his Observation Haki, Thoth sensed that Nami and the others were approaching with two distinct auras.

Thoth laughed and said, "Let's go, Nami and the others are here with their people."

The two of them immediately went to look for it.

Soon, Nami and her friends arrived with a middle-aged couple.

Upon arriving and seeing their excited expressions, after talking with them, I learned that they were the mayor and his wife of the town on this clockwork island.

They were already familiar with Thoth's reputation and were sincerely grateful to him for rescuing them. After learning the purpose of Thoth and his group's arrival, they became even more aware of his true intentions.

The mayor said solemnly:

"Mr. Tote, rest assured, I will go and gather the best craftsmen in our area right away. With your assistance, we can help you."

Within ten days, we can build you a technologically advanced ship.

Thoth nodded his thanks, "Just tell me what materials you need for shipbuilding."

And you don't need to worry about things like shipbuilding costs at all.

"No, no, no, we can't accept your money to build you a boat. This is just a small token of our appreciation from the entire town."
