Chapter 4

"Why have you come? Want to drink together? Come, come, I haven't had enough yet."

Luo Xing looked at his cheap father-in-law, the strongest land-sea-air creature.

Over seven meters tall, his body was like a mountain; even sitting on the ground, he radiated immense pressure.

"Boss Kaido, we didn't come to drink; we're here to report something important to you!" Queen shouted.

"What?" Kaido was still half-drunk, his eyelids drooping.

"Billy, you know him, right? Just a small grunt in the Beasts Pirates' Gifters army. He ate a Devil Fruit cell invented by the Imperial Son-in-Law and actually defeated a True Commander!"

"What did you say!"

Kaido's bell-like eyes suddenly widened, and his drunkenness vanished instantly.

King and Jack also wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Jack said uncertainly:

"Billy seems to be a grunt under my command, as thin as a monkey. How could he possibly defeat a True Commander?"

Queen said:

"At first I didn't believe it either, but it happened just now. Four or five hundred members of the Gifters army can all testify."

As one of the Three Calamities, Plague Queen could not possibly lie, nor did he have any reason to.

But what he said was truly hard to believe.

Therefore, King and Jack still wore expressions of doubt.

4. Ecstatic Kaido

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law knows you find it hard to believe. I am willing to create another Devil Fruit cell so you can witness its effects with your own eyes."

Luo Xing spoke.

Kaido stood up full of expectation and declared:

"Good! If it truly has such an effect, I will certainly reward you heavily!"

Luo Xing suddenly hesitated slightly: "It's just that creating a Devil Fruit cell is quite expensive..."

Kaido waved his large hand: "However much money you need, just take it!"

As long as it could boost the combat power of his subordinates' army, what did money matter?

Luo Xing secretly rejoiced and said:

"Creating one Devil Fruit cell probably requires two hundred... no, three hundred thousand Berries."

A mere three hundred thousand Berries; for ordinary people, it might be a huge sum, but in the eyes of the Emperor Kaido, it wasn't even worth a hair.

Kaido ordered King to get money for Luo Xing.

Among the Three Calamities, Queen oversaw the scientific research unit, the iron-headed Jack only handled combat, while King, the most level-headed and the one who had followed Kaido the longest, managed the Beasts Pirates' treasury.

After receiving the money, Luo Xing immediately ordered people to buy the resources needed to create the Devil Fruit cell, then entered the laboratory.

Half an hour later.

Luo Xing walked out holding a strange purple lump of flesh.

"This is the Devil Fruit cell that can double one's strength? It doesn't look particularly special."

Jack muttered.

Simple-minded and strong in limbs, he believed strength could only be gained through one's own cultivation; everything else was a side path.

Because Kaido had personally come to watch, it aroused the curiosity of the entire Beasts Pirates.

At this moment.

Gathered outside the laboratory door were almost all members of the Beasts Pirates.

Among them were the six strongest True Commanders beneath the Three Calamities, the Tobiroppo.

Page One, the youngest of the Tobiroppo, walked up to Luo Xing and sniffed the Devil Fruit cell.

"Smells good. It must taste pretty good, Imperial Son-in-Law?"

Luo Xing smiled slightly: "What, do you want to try it?"

Page One looked eager to give it a go.

His sister, Black Maria, suddenly shouted loudly: "No, you can't eat it! This thing looks poisonous!"

Page One completely ignored his sister's words and asked Luo Xing:

"Imperial Son-in-Law, can this thing really increase combat power?"

"Of course," Luo Xing said. "However, how much combat power it increases depends on each person's constitution. One more thing I must remind you of: if you cannot endure the pain brought by the Devil Fruit cell, you will not only fail to enhance your strength but might even die."

Pain?

Page One didn't take it to heart. As a user of the Ancient Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Spinosaurus Model, his powerful recovery ability made him fearless of most physical pain.

"Boss Kaido, let me eat this Devil Fruit cell!"

Page One requested permission from Kaido.

Kaido hesitated a bit.

After all, he had never heard of any Devil Fruit cell. If an accident occurred, he did not want to lose Page One, a subordinate full of potential.

Although Kaido was ferocious, he was a man who valued his subordinates and cherished talent.

In the original story, Kid and Luffy were not killed by Kaido precisely because of this trait.

"Very well, Luo Xing is not an impulsive person, and with Queen vouching for him, let Page One try."

Thus, Kaido nodded and agreed to Page One's request.

"Everyone step back a bit; there will likely be quite a commotion soon."

While speaking, Luo Xing handed the Devil Fruit cell to Page One.

Page One ate the Devil Fruit cell drop by drop, as if savoring a delicacy.

"I don't feel anything..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Page One's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He felt a ferocious beast within his body, as if it were about to burst out of him!

"Ah!"

Page One could not help but let out a painful roar.

His limbs twisted, his skin began to swell like foam, his hair stood on end, and his teeth became even sharper!

Seeing this scene, Ulti's eyes immediately turned red.

Had it not been for Queen holding her back, she might have gone to fight Luo Xing to the death.

Fortunately, Page One's pain did not last long.

The immense regenerative power of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit made Page One's tolerance far superior to Billy's.

When Page One finally stabilized completely and returned to human form, even Kaido's eyes widened in shock.

"This..."

It was no wonder Kaido was shocked; Page One's transformation was simply too immense.

His height, which had been at most one meter seventy, had now shot up to five meters!

Those towering muscles, the chilling claws, and the sharp fangs were enough to make anyone tremble at the sight!

Jack the Drought stood with his mouth agape, unable to believe that a tiny cell could cause such a change in Page One.

"L-Little Pei, are you okay?"

Ulti could hardly recognize her own brother.

"Sister, I feel great right now, very great!"

Page One clenched his fists and suddenly let out a deafening long roar to the sky.

"My body is filled with power; even if you gave me a Great Mountain, I could knock it down with a single punch!"

An unparalleled, overwhelming aura radiated from Page One.

Kaido's eyes gleamed with wild joy as he laughed heartily:
