Chapter 61

"Luo... Luo Xing, my lord..."

Caesar Clown shrank his head, his face full of fear.

How could he not be afraid?

Even the powerful Doflamingo was easily killed by the man before him, let alone him?

The man before him was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than his former boss Doflamingo, in both strength and power!

Luo Xing said indifferently: Group

"Demonstrate the process of making artificial Devil Fruits for me."8

"Y-yes... yes." Caesar Clown, though confused, did not dare to ask. 9

He obediently demonstrated it once. Three

After Luo Xing finished watching, he said directly: 9

"Devil Fruits indeed grant abilities at the Unified Factor Layer. However, there are many errors in your production process, and some parts are completely wrong, greatly reducing the success rate of Smile fruits!"6

Upon hearing this, Caesar Clown almost jumped up. 4

The thing he was most proud of in his life was his research ability; he even did not obey Vegapunk, and what he could tolerate least was others questioning his science. 4

But before he could jump, Caesar Clown suddenly remembered who the man before him was. 6

What was most terrifying about Luo Xing was not the power backing the Beasts Pirates, nor the strength that crushed Doflamingo, but precisely his scientific research ability! Zero

Luo Xing was a greater genius inventor than Vegapunk!

The Ope Ope no Mi cells, the Senzu Beans, were all heaven-defying inventions!

In comparison, the poison gas bombs he, Caesar Clown, invented, including the Smile fruits with only a one-tenth success rate, were all weak!

Having figured this out, Caesar Clown immediately nodded like a primary school student facing a teacher.

"Yes, yes, what Luo Xing, my lord, says is correct!"

Luo Xing stepped forward, operated the equipment with both hands, and said to Caesar Clown:

"Watch clearly, this is the most correct method and steps for manufacturing artificial Devil Fruits. You must remember them firmly; not a single step can be missed!"

"Otherwise, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Caesar Clown shuddered violently, his eyes wide open, wishing he could copy Luo Xing's movements.

After Luo Xing finished demonstrating, he said, "Did you remember?"

Caesar Clown patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, Luo Xing, my lord, I remember it clearly; there will absolutely be no mistakes!"

Foxy, who was standing aside, asked curiously:

"My lord, what use are these steps you taught?"

Luo Xing said casually, "At least it can raise the success rate of Smile fruits to eighty or ninety percent."

Raise it to eighty or ninety percent?!

Isn't that close to one hundred percent?

It would be equivalent to naturally born Devil Fruits!

Caesar Clown simply could not believe his ears.

Foxy, on the other hand, rubbed his hands excitedly and said:

"If Kaido the boss finds out, he will definitely be very happy. With the success rate of Smile fruits increased so much, the number of our Gifters army can be increased rapidly!"

Before,

ten artificial Devil Fruits could only create one Gifter; now they can create eight or nine.

If Kaido knew, he would surely go wild with joy.

The strength of the Beasts Pirates will increase even faster!

And this is the main reason Luo Xing wanted to eliminate Doflamingo and occupy Dressrosa.

Luo Xing believed that instead of spending money to buy Smile fruits with only a one-tenth success rate, it was better to control the raw materials, factories, and so on himself.

With his inventor skills, he could also completely improve the production process.

As expected, Luo Xing, who could create higher-level Ope Ope no Mi cells, understood the technology for making Smile fruits at a glance.

Improving it didn't even take much time at all.

A group of little people suddenly surged over.

"Benefactor, that is Benefactor Luo Xing Lande!"

The little people surrounded Luo Xing's feet, chattering words of gratitude, and even called Luo Xing "Luo Xing Lande."

Because Wapol Lande was the hero of the little people, when they truly thanked someone, they would add "Lande" after their name.

Luo Xing showed a kind smile on his face; the little people were very simple, and still a very good source of free labor.

Suddenly, Luo Xing spotted a tiny one, reached out to lift him up, and said in a gentle voice:

"I remember, you are the user of the Heal-Heal Fruit, right?"

The tiny one was indeed the little people's princess, Mansherry.

Mansherry obediently said, "Yes, does Luo Xing Lande, my lord, want me to heal your injuries?"

Luo Xing smiled and shook his head, "Not me, it is Viola and Rebecca; they are both in the Wang Gong right now."

The kind Mansherry immediately went to the Wang Gong.

Seeing Viola and Rebecca, who were so injured they could only lie in bed, Mansherry couldn't help but say with full concern:

"Luo Xing Lande, my lord, sent me to treat you; I will definitely try my best to heal you!"

Viola and Rebecca were both stunned.

Viola reacted first; understanding what "treatment" meant, her face immediately turned bright red, filled with shame and anger.

In the end, she only spat and said, "Bad person!"

In his heart, he couldn't help but subconsciously wonder: Can that wound really be healed?

On the way back, the Immortal Bird Ma Erke kept thinking about Luo Xing's words. He harbored a hidden worry.

And when he returned to the Moby Dick, that hidden worry suddenly expanded tenfold!

"Did something happen?" Ma Erke asked, his heart giving a thud.

The Moby Dick, usually filled with constant laughter and joy, now had an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

On everyone's face, sorrow was written all over.

Ma Erke looked around, feeling even more uneasy, and asked again:

"Why can't I see Ace and Thatch? By the way, what about Teach from Ace's squad, the one who never sleeps?"

Upon hearing Thatch's name, a trace of sorrow appeared on the faces of all the Whitebeard Pirates' commanders.

Jozu, commander of the Third Division and the Diamond, stepped forward, patted Ma Erke's shoulder, and sighed mournfully: "Thatch is dead. He was killed by Teach. Ace went to chase Teach."

A single, brief sentence left Ma Erke frozen in place.

After a long, long time, he asked, his throat slightly dry: "Why?"

Jozu knew Ma Erke was asking why Teach killed Thatch, so he said:

"Because of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Remember the day you left the ship? Thatch happened to return from outside, saying he had obtained a special Devil Fruit and wanted to show it to you. You didn't look, and none of us paid any attention."

That fruit was the Dark-Dark Fruit, and that bastard Teach had been on the ship all these years for the sake of that Devil Fruit!"

Blackbeard Ma Xieer D. Teach, when he was a child, met Bai Huzi, knelt down on the spot, and begged to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because he believed that only within the powerful Whitebeard Pirates was there the greatest possibility of finding the Dark-Dark Fruit.

That is to say, Blackbeard, at only a few years old, already possessed an enormous ambition completely disproportionate to his age!

Blackbeard was undoubtedly an ambitious man even more patient, even more terrifying, and even more unscrupulous than Doflamingo!

Ma Erke closed his eyes in grief, his fists clenched tightly.

"That damn bastard Teach!"

Ma Erke then suddenly remembered something: "Why let Ace go after Teach alone?"

Jozu sighed: "You know Ace's temper. If he wants to chase, we can't stop him."

Ma Erke's worry in his heart instantly expanded infinitely.

For some reason, he had an intuition that Ace going after Teach and the suspicious words Luo Xing said in Dressrosa might have some connection.

But what exactly that connection was, Ma Erke couldn't figure out; he could only take it one step at a time.

He took out the Senzu Bean from his pocket and walked towards Bai Huzi:

"Old man, no matter what, your health is the most important thing. Eat this Senzu Bean."
