Ten days later.
Ten thousand meters high in the sky.
Above the vast white sea, an "Air Kingdom" was currently under construction.
At the sealed laboratory entrance, Niji, Yonji, and Ichiji were waiting outside.
"It's already been almost three days. It should be over soon, right?"
Niji looked at the clock hanging on the wall and couldn't help but frown. "With Germa's technical support, although Law's ability isn't fully developed yet, there shouldn't be any problems..."
These past few days, he had gained some understanding of the Op-Op Fruit's ability. It was powerful, but with that special ROOM space active, stamina drained like an open faucet, at a terrifying speed.
Even when stamina consumption was severe, it was possible to deplete the user's lifespan.
"That Ichiji is really crazy. He's not trying to get an 'exoskeleton' like us, is he?" Yonji chuckled.
"Although I don't know why, His Highness must undergo this kind of modification..."
Unlike Niji and Yonji, Ichiji, the beautiful maid who had been waiting here for three days without moving a step, had a hint of fatigue and worry on her fair face. She prayed silently, then softly said, "But it's come to this, so all we can do now is wait!"
With the heaven-defying ability of the Op-Op Fruit coupled with Germa's technical support, it still took so long. It was clear that this kind of human body modification surgery was quite difficult.
But Ichiji was still somewhat puzzled as to why Ichiji had to do this.
After all, modifying one's own body was no laughing matter.
"After all, this kind of surgery has far exceeded the limits of current medical science. One could even say it's a fantasy. Time was on his side..."
As for Basil Hawkins and X. Drake, they were not here.
According to Ichiji's arrangements before officially performing the surgery, he clearly didn't intend for them to come into contact with these secrets.
"Whoosh..."
Half an hour later, the laboratory door opened.
Vinsmoke Judge walked out from inside with several scientists from Germa's research team. All of them had beads of sweat on their heads, and their eyes were bloodshot, looking somewhat terrifying and exhausted, extremely tired.
"Your Majesty, how is His Highness?" Looking at the laboratory where the situation inside was invisible, Ichiji anxiously stepped forward to ask.
"Although the process had some twists and turns, it was ultimately successful. He will wake up in half an hour!"
Vinsmoke Judge, who hadn't slept for three days, patiently replied to the somewhat impolite Ichiji: "Don't disturb Ichiji yet. Let him wake up naturally."
"That's great!"
Ichiji's fair face showed delight, and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was truly worried about any unforeseen incidents.
"Huh? Father, what about that kid Law?"
Not seeing Law come out, Yonji raised an eyebrow and asked with some doubt.
"During the modification process, an unexpected deviation occurred. Law consumed far too much, even to the point of overdrawing five years of his lifespan to barely make the surgery successful. He completely collapsed inside..."
He gestured for the scientists to go and rest, then stretched his muscles slightly. Vinsmoke Judge said with a sigh, "We're giving him nutrient solution now. He won't wake up anytime soon."
Unlike Niji, Yonji, and the others, who were still unaware, he had already learned from Ichiji why that guy insisted on undergoing such a modification surgery.
This idea was indeed a bit crazy, but he had specifically researched and discussed it with Germa's other scientists, specifically studying the body of Donquixote Doflamingo. Theoretically, it could completely succeed, which is why he nodded and agreed to support it.
He wasn't in a hurry to rest, but continued to stay there, waiting.
However, Vinsmoke Judge wasn't in a hurry to tell Ichiji, Niji, and the others the news. Because if Ichiji woke up, and there were any accidents after eating that Devil Fruit, the consequences...
In less than half an hour.
Inside the spacious laboratory.
Ichiji opened his eyes and woke up.
Beside him, lay a deep purple, apple-shaped Devil Fruit with a strange spiral pattern.
"There really has been quite a change. It seems to have succeeded!" Ichiji felt the changes within his body, couldn't help but clench his fists, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
If it had failed, Vinsmoke Judge certainly wouldn't have placed that fruit beside him, and he would have arranged for people to guard him until he woke up!
He looked at another operating table nearby, where Law lay pale, eyes tightly shut, unconscious, receiving nutrient solution.
"Looks like he's quite desperate; it doesn't seem like he simply overused his stamina..."
He directly stood up. Ichiji looked at Law, who was as pale as paper, and somewhat guessed that Law must have paid a considerable price to become so weak: "If it succeeded, I owe you a favor!"
If anything unexpected happened later, His Highness would be completely helpless.
However, the body of Donquixote Doflamingo had already directly succeeded after he fed it a Zoan-type and a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. There was no reason for him to fail!
Otherwise, even if Ichiji was desperate to become stronger, he wouldn't gamble with his own life!
"Mythical Zoan: Bat-Bat Fruit: Vampire Form..."
He picked up the Devil Fruit that had already been placed beside him. Ichiji looked at it with anticipation, fervor, excitement, and madness: "Will it be a soaring success, or an absolute hell? Give me the answer!"
He muttered to himself, completely unrestrained, and bit directly into it!
"Ugh!"
This was his second time eating this thing. There was absolutely no so-called resistance. He dry-heaved, his face turning green.
"Ha~~~hahaha~~~"
A moment later, Ichiji, having recovered, directly emitted a suffocating pressure.
The fact that he didn't explode and die immediately proved that he had succeeded.
"Whoosh—" A blood-red glow, like silk, lingered and danced, disappearing like lightning.
The metal main door outside was directly forced open.
In Vinsmoke Judge's sigh of relief, combined with the shocked gazes of Ichiji and the others, a blood-red figure directly soared into mid-air.
"Hahaha..."
Like a demon from hell, a ferocious fleshy wing suddenly sprouted from his back. His entire body, covered in dense black smoke, shot towards the sky, immediately darkening the surroundings and filling them with an eerie aura that made people shiver without cold.
The originally somewhat bewildered fleshy wing was directly covered by endless darkness.
"This exponentially increasing, constantly surging power..."
The entire person remained suspended in mid-air like this, clenching his fists, with undisguised excitement: "I've planned for so long, and finally, it's paid off!!!"
"Your Highness, those....."
"Wings? This guy isn't...?"
Ichiji, Niji, and the others looked up at the figure in mid-air with disbelief, all of them couldn't help but freeze..... nine...
