If the World Government didn't intervene, it was unlikely they could defeat Lan Luo's group. This group, forcibly designated as Pirates by them, had acted with extreme purposefulness over the past year. He also suspected that Vegapunk was not dead; otherwise, how could they have the ability to plunder Devil Fruits? However, based on the analysis of their actions before sailing, the only thing they could confirm was that Lan Luo's group had been seizing others' Fruits since they set sail.
The results of Sengoku's intelligence analysis report were not as supportive as they had imagined; instead, he was criticized for the Marine's incompetence causing all of this. It was also said that the trash within the Marine allowed Lan Luo's group to become Pirates, thus turning such powerful individuals into adversaries of the Marine.
Although the World Government also had many dark sides, they did not want to bear this blame. Sengoku, hearing this, gritted his teeth. He had agreed to the bounty on Lan Luo's group back then. He had thought that dispatching an Admiral in the first half of the Grand Line would solve the problem, but subsequent events far exceeded Sengoku's imagination. Their rise was too rapid; by the time Aokiji found them, they already possessed the strength of an Admiral.
Their subsequent actions became covert; their ship was not discovered. Then, they made a shocking debut, directly defeating the Kaido Pirate Crew in Wano Country with an overwhelming display of power.
The New World also became more turbulent because of this major event, like an unstoppable torrent that made people unable to resist.
...
On the future whale, Lan Luo immediately went to a deserted island the moment he obtained the Momo Fruit.
He activated his left eye ability, "Amenominaka," and began to analyze the abilities of various Fruits.
After transmitting the abilities to Daji via brainwaves, he instructed, "Help me load all the obtained abilities."
"Yes, Master," Daji said before transforming into metallic liquid and re-merging with Lan Luo's body. Unlike before, there was no great pain. After obtaining several Mythical Zoan Fruits, Lan Luo's stamina and recovery ability, combined with the energy modification provided by the Infinity Energy Gem, allowed his body cells to be perfectly transformed in a short time.
After gaining the Momo Fruit's ability, Lan Luo felt he could easily shatter spatial barriers. Of course, this might be an illusion, but he could genuinely crush that person on the Red Line with the current power of the Pirate World.
And the Combine-Combine Fruit's ability allowed Lan Luo to easily modify the future whale spaceship. Many areas he had wanted to change before could be easily realized through the Combine-Combine Fruit, including the weapon system and puppet system he had previously desired.
Once Lan Luo had assimilated all the Devil Fruit abilities, he planned to forge his gun and sword. Unlike Kuina's sword, the soul of his sword, with the ability of the Scythe-Scythe Fruit, could easily unleash slashes; the Doku Doku no Mi's ability could weaken enemies; the Hurricane Fruit amplified the slashing ability; the Mera Mera no Mi's explosion gave the slashes an explosive side effect, and he specifically added the Bomb Fruit's ability. The hilt of the sword possessed the Haki amplification of Enma and the Heat-Heat Fruit's ability amplification. Rune for amplifying abilities and the Momo Fruit's ability were carved onto the guard, and an Infinity Energy Gem was embedded at the end of the hilt.
When Lan Luo fused all the souls together, the scorching aura in the air instantly warped the space.
He fused this soul into the uru metal blade crafted by Lan Luo, and the soul, which had turned into metallic liquid, transformed back into a pure black blade. Only the edge emitted a chilling, faint glow.
Lan Luo then carved the illusion technique of Realm of Illusion and the succubus's ability to create illusions into the blade. Only those with Dōjutsu and succubus bloodline could use it.
He gently reached out and grasped the sword in the air. A stream of blood permeated the blade, changing it from its original pure black to a black-red color. This was dwarven technology, like a form of recognition; as long as it was summoned, it could fly to his side at any time, no matter how far away.
When the island returned to tranquility, the entire island had become a crystal-like world. This was due to instantaneous crystallization caused by extreme heat, and the extremely high temperature resulted in high-purity crystals.
When Kuina docked the spaceship, her eyes eagerly looked at the black-red straight sword in Lan Luo's hand, which somewhat resembled a cursed holy sword.
"Is it a Black Blade when forged?" Kuina asked curiously.
"It definitely surpasses a Black Blade now. Although yours isn't a Black Blade, its hardness exceeds a Black Blade," Lan Luo patiently explained. The forging temperature for swords in this world was over a thousand degrees, but their forging temperature was nearly ten thousand degrees, and they only began forging after injecting souls into the materials.
"Can I try it?" Kuina was very curious about this sword. They had collected many Devil Fruits along the way, all for forging swords.
"Not yet. It has my bloodline imprint and ocular power on it, as well as the Doku Doku no Mi's ability. Your cells haven't evolved yet, but you should be able to later. If we can obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability, then this sword, when it touches an ability user or unleashes a slash, will prevent the ability user from using their Devil Fruit abilities." Lan Luo was also an ambitious person, but he did not harm civilians or kind-hearted people, though such people were too rare in the Pirate World.
Robin, hearing Lan Luo's words, spoke up, "So Captain gave Marco and the others magic rings because you saw from the scrying orb that the Dark-Dark Fruit would definitely appear on Whitebeard's ship?"
"You're very sharp, Robin. But it should be soon. This sea has become more turbulent after our invasion of Impel Down. I don't know how long it will be before it goes berserk. It's like a powder keg now; with just a spark, the World Government's eight-hundred-year reign will turn to dust. But I can eliminate the Celestial Dragons anytime. Do you need me to act, Robin?" Lan Luo spoke with a commanding tone, as if the Celestial Dragons, who were high and mighty to others, were mere ants to him.
All the crew members looked at Robin, waiting for her to express her stance. They all knew Robin's past. While their strength alone couldn't overwhelm the Red Line, with Lan Luo, it was certainly possible.
Seeing this, Robin covered her mouth, moved to tears. Why did Lan Luo always make her cry? Yet, she said, "I'll do it myself once I have the ability."
Nami, hearing Robin's words, didn't want her to remain sad and continued, "Brother Lan Luo, where's the gun you forged? And our weapons?"
Lan Luo rolled his eyes at Nami and said, "I gave the spaceship's energy core to Kuina's sword, and forged this sword with my own energy core. I need to remanufacture an energy core. This time, I can incorporate the Momo Fruit's ability using the regeneration cradle technology."
Perona, hearing this, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Heh heh heh, can my toy Kumashi start being manufactured?"
"And my weapon," Nami also spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone present raised their hands simultaneously, indicating they also wanted one.
Even Vegapunk, who spent most of his time in the laboratory, wanted an assistant like Daji. Chopper, hearing this, also jumped out and said he needed an assistant.
