Every person's Lineage Factor is unique. Among them, after a user eats a Zoan Devil Fruit, their Lineage Factor will physically change because of the fruit's influence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Caesar paused to check Cyrus's expression, but seeing that the man had no intention of interrupting, he continued his lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a mysterious substance that is only born within the body of someone who has eaten a Zoan Devil Fruit. However, it cannot be created entirely from scratch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, aren't you collaborating with Doflamingo to create artificial Devil Fruits? Are these all extracted from actual Devil Fruit Users?\" Cyrus asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is the unknown substance. It's just that after being extracted, it can be artificially replicated, but the process requires a large number of test subjects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Caesar heard Cyrus ask about this, he answered honestly, knowing he couldn't hide anything from this monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So those demi-humans are the result of this experiment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Caesar's confirmation, Cyrus squinted as he sized up the floating gas man, causing Caesar to instantly tense up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop this research. I will send people to take those children away later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Caesar breathed a massive sigh of relief upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being smart, he understood that by giving this order, his life was safe—at least for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what happened later, it would probably depend entirely on this man's mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides your connection with Doflamingo, you're also in contact with Big Mom?\" Cyrus asked, setting the Devil Fruit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't very interested in this fruit himself, but it could definitely be used as a high-tier prize for a future Hunter Exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he wouldn't leave it here for Momonosuke to eat it in a few years, as who knew what this island would become by the time Kozuki Toki's prophecy came to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Cyrus turned back to look at Caesar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the heavy gaze, Caesar took a deep breath and forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right. Besides collaborating with Doflamingo, Big Mom's son, Katakuri, has also contacted me. Big Mom wants some giant family members, so she asked me to conduct some gigantification experiments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That certainly sounded like Charlotte Linlin, the woman had a massive obsession with giants. Cyrus stroked his chin in thought and nodded lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be staying here for a while. Before that, stop the experiments. If Doflamingo or Big Mom's people ask, just tell them I'm here.\" Cyrus waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Cyrus-sama.\" Caesar immediately nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Caesar and his group of subordinates leave, Cyrus's gaze fell back on the Devil Fruit resting on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Caesar did was indeed heinous, but this guy—along with Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge, and even Stussy—were all exceedingly rare talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was simply like that. the intellect of these people was completely out of sync with the era they lived in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If used well, they could be of great use in the future,' Cyrus thought. 'Even if they aren't useful now, they will be eventually.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting the matter aside, Cyrus called up his status panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gains from this battle were not small, and the biggest gain naturally was another breakthrough in his constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Constitution: 201 (Undergoing continuous transformation due to certain influences)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flame (Black Blade): ... (89%)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His constitution had broken through, and the refinement progress of Flame into a Black Blade had also suddenly jumped by more than 20%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It is probably because after I swung that massive slash, I used Haki to solidify the blade just as it was about to dissipate.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the blade had completely turned a dark red, and even without imbuing it with Armament Haki, the steel remained this color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and drew the sword at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the blade's surface, a dark red luster rhythmically flickered between light and dark, showing that the sword had indeed undergone a tremendous change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were many Good Grade and Great Grade swords in the world, this one was, after all, one he had personally refined into a Black Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It will certainly be much more comfortable to use than a Black Blade refined by someone else.' Cyrus could sense that the sword could now withstand his power far better and could even amplify a portion of his physical strength, realizing this was probably what swordsmen meant by a weapon's true compatibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sheathing the sword, Cyrus placed it on the table in front of him, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way things had unfolded at the Sabaody Archipelago had actually exceeded his own expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer killing intent had arisen after his clash with Kizaru and Akainu, and once it emerged, it grew stronger and stronger until it became irrepressible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, he had been controlled by that killing intent at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp blade in hand, a murderous heart naturally arises on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as for the final result, Cyrus did not regret what he had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it wasn't without its gains, as at the very least, he had figured out a part of Imu's mysterious power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Imu's ability couldn't effectively counter pure Haki and physical strength, but its suppression of Devil Fruit abilities was immense.' Cyrus believed that when Imu blocked his ability-based attacks, the cost to the ruler must have been considerable as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, who knew what other trump cards a centuries-old monster like Imu still held in reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus quietly contemplated the gains and losses of this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This event was undeniably a good thing for the Hunter Guild, as the organization had now entered the sights of almost everyone in this world, meaning its development might be much smoother from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn't know about that fellow Crocodile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Cyrus took out a fresh Den Den Mushi and contacted the Warlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President!\" Crocodile answered quickly, speaking first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're being monitored, but they haven't taken any action against us,\" Crocodile replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Send a group of people to Punk Hazard to pick some things up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? That World Government research facility?\" Crocodile's tone was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know about it too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I've heard some news about it before. President, are you at Punk Hazard now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. I'll be staying here for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The World Government is probably searching frantically for your whereabouts right now,\" Crocodile reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I care about that?\" Cyrus asked, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll arrange for people to go. However, the route to Fish-Man Island is currently blocked. Because of what you did to the Red Line, the debris that flew out has piled up on the seabed,\" Crocodile explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? In that case, doesn't one have to go through Mary Geoise to get to the New World?\" Cyrus was stunned, his tone strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that slash of yours created a brand new passage right through the Red Line,\" Crocodile said in a peculiar tone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1204,"2026-06-05T17:57:20.376Z",1,"novelbin.me","12ea67441602b0572fcd1822a64987c93fc12007efcdd5cc93a28a60084507f5","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-210","one-piece-bounty-hunter-king-chapter-208",263,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-bounty-hunter-king-cover.jpg"]
