Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Matthew is gone, but the aftershocks he left behind continue to reverberate in the town of Maggrave.

Besides Kleiner, the police chief and his family, including his wife and a 20-year-old son, were later found dead in their home.

There were also two police officers.

Rachel, Roseco, and Finley all knew perfectly well who was behind it.

Matthew's revenge was resolute and thorough, and none of those involved could escape death.

However, the revenge implicated his innocent family members, and although Finley was somewhat dissatisfied, he was powerless to do anything about it.

This incident, involving the deaths of dozens of people and the unusual methods of killing behind it, has drawn the attention of the state government and multiple agencies.

The joint investigators quickly arrived in the town of Margrave to begin their investigation, but Reicher handed them over the documents Daniel had investigated before his death, as well as the confidential documents Matthew had taken from the safe at the Kleiner Estate, successfully shifting the focus of the investigation.

These documents involve a range of major criminal activities, including smuggling, human trafficking, arms dealing, and drug trafficking, attracting even the Narcotics Control Bureau.

Several agencies joined forces to crack these crimes and divided up Kleiner's vast assets, making a fortune from it all.

Of course, Rachel also gained some benefits in the process, but we will not go into details here.

Driven by self-interest, the top officials of various organizations colluded and reached a tacit agreement to quietly cover up the incident.

Matthew, who sparked this storm, inevitably attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives, but he was unaware of it, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

He had already left Magreve, but did not choose to go to other major cities.

Considering the need for further development of the Glitter Fruit, Matthew chose to go to the remote Black Mountain region, which is located in southwestern South Dakota, extending in a small part to northeastern Wyoming.

Black Mountain gets its name from the dense pine forests that cover an area of ​​approximately 15000 square kilometers.

The forests here are mainly composed of pine, spruce and fir trees, forming a unique ecological landscape. There are also many rivers and lakes, the most famous of which are Xiong'er Lake and Wind Cave Park.

Matthew found a spot in the mountains near a natural lake and waterfall, and then bought a large RV and parked it by the lake.

At the same time, he also bought a freight truck and parked it in a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain. He would use this truck to purchase daily necessities from nearby cities and then transport them back.

It must be said that Matthew thoroughly enjoys this solitary life close to nature.

Besides his daily high-intensity training and developing his Devil Fruit abilities, he also reads books when he feels bored, such as books on physics.

Matthew looted three million dollars in cash and several pieces of gold from Kleiner's safe. At the time, he also obtained information about Kleiner's secret overseas private account, which contained twenty million dollars.

He doesn't need the money in this overseas account for the time being.

Because the money cannot be withdrawn directly, it involves specific rules and requirements for bank transfers and withdrawals. Fortunately, Matthew can find a professional money laundering agency to launder the money, which is well worth paying a commission, even though it will cost a certain percentage.

During his first month in the mountains, Matthew didn't rush to sign in. Instead, he waited another month, accumulating two months' worth of attendance before starting to sign in.

This reward delighted Matthew; its value was in no way inferior to the Glitter-Glitter Fruit.

This reward is none other than the physical talent of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors and the strongest fighters in the One Piece world, known as "Big Mom"—the Steel Balloon.

How high is this middle-aged woman's physical talent?

She was originally a giant baby born to a human couple, whose physical development far exceeded that of ordinary people. At the age of 5, she was exiled by her parents to "Elbaf," a place inhabited by giants, because her size was too large and she caused serious damage to her hometown.

This person was born with superhuman strength. When he was 5 years old, he killed a bear with one punch. He tried to help the giants get rid of the mosquitoes on their bodies, but ended up breaking several of the giant soldiers' ribs with one slap.

At the same time, she also possesses an extremely resilient body with terrifying defensive capabilities—the blades of the giants would only shatter upon striking her at the tender age of 5; even amidst a hail of bullets, they could not leave a single mark on her body. This innate defensive power makes her like an "iron balloon."

It can be said that if it weren't for weaknesses such as food cravings, even if Lingling hadn't eaten the Soul-Soul Fruit later, she would definitely have reached the top of the world.

In terms of physique alone, Linlin is perhaps even more exaggerated than Kaido, who is known as the strongest creature in the world.

The old lady basically spent her days holding tea parties, eating sweets, sleeping, and having children. She didn't do any cultivation at all. Even with this kind of lazy lifestyle, she still grew to the level of a Yonko.

This talent is absolutely unparalleled in the entire One Piece world.

More importantly, the specific marker after signing in to reward the talent indicates that the talent fusion is adaptive, which gives him subjective consciousness.

This means his height won't reach the exaggerated 8.8-meter height of that middle-aged woman.

The fusion of the old lady's monstrous talent allowed Matthew, whose physical training had slowed down after two months, to enter a period of rapid growth again.

However, a problem, or rather a hidden concern, has emerged.

The power of the Glint-Glint Fruit allows him to become a Glint Man, initially breaking through the genetic threshold of ordinary people and enabling him to become stronger in a short period of time through training.

However, Logia-type Devil Fruits cannot transform someone with poor talent into a top genius; there is a limit to their potential.

Matthew's two months of intense training, including running with heavy loads and punching rocks, only resulted in a slight increase in his physique. This suggests that Matthew has reached his limit in this area and cannot break through his ceiling no matter how hard he tries.

If no other factors are present, then even in ten or twenty years, Matthew's physical development will remain stagnant, as his genetic limits will cap his physical growth.

The auntie's talent completely shattered Matthew's genetic limits, and his physique improved by leaps and bounds with his high-intensity training.

In just one month, his growth allowed him to break through the limits of human physical strength, even surpassing Captain America Steve Rogers, who was enhanced by injecting the Super Soldier Serum. He also grew five centimeters taller, reaching 185 cm, and his weight reached 220 pounds.

With the strength of a single arm, he can lift a boulder weighing about four tons. He can sprint at full speed at a speed of more than 30 meters per second and can sprint at full speed for an hour without feeling tired. His physical strength is exaggerated. He can stay underwater for several hours and jump vertically more than 10 meters.

The wound heals extremely quickly and has a certain degree of self-healing ability.

His powerful physique also facilitated the development of the Glint-Glint Fruit. He tested firing lasers, the power of which could easily shatter anything within ten meters, leaving a crater about one meter wide.

Of course, it's far from being as powerful as Admiral Kizaru's laser beam that easily destroys an island.

But it's important to understand that only a month has passed.
