"Swish!"
The blood-red figure was as fast as lightning.
In an instant, it had moved over ten meters away, making it impossible to capture its figure.
"Roar—"
The gigantic monkey struggled in terror.
Its entire body visibly withered at a terrifying speed. Its fur turned greyish-white, its skin became dry and rough, and it began to shrivel...
"Hmph!"
His right hand relaxed, and the gigantic monkey, over three meters tall, fell heavily.
"Even without directly sucking blood, it can directly age the target and steal their life force..." Ichiji said with a faint smile, feeling the perfect state within his body. He clenched his fists: "Excellent ability!"
After Ichiji mastered the ability of the Mythical Zoan: Cat-Cat Fruit: Nekomata Form, he could also directly use those black flames in his human form, but he did not possess the ability to fly.
The Mythical Zoan: Vampire Form was also similar; in human form, he could directly deprive targets of their "youth" with terrifying power, and he didn't even need to suck blood!
Whether he could live forever, he didn't know, but one thing was certain: after absorbing the target's life force and being replenished, his own state would become better and better, and his spirit would be full.
A truly perverse ability!
"Meow..."
The gigantic Two-Tailed Monster Cat, bathed in black flames, directly surged from the sky, instantly transforming into a beautiful figure.
"Your Highness is truly amazing. In such a short time, you've completely mastered the ability of the Mythical Zoan..." Ichiji, wearing a flamboyant military uniform and looking somewhat heroic, gazed at Ichiji with undisguised admiration and reverence.
But in her verdant eyes, there were clearly some bloodshot lines, an undisguised fatigue.
"Ichiji, didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you come here?" Ichiji couldn't help but frown, his gaze filled with indulgence.
This girl hadn't slept or rested for three days, waiting outside the laboratory for him. He estimated she hadn't even closed her eyes.
He had already told her to rest before coming to this Beast Island to test his abilities, but he didn't expect her to follow him here.
"Swish!"
He directly brought her with him, leaping onto a giant tree trunk and leaning against it.
"Your Highness, I'm not tired..."
On Ichiji's beautiful face, a faint smile blossomed.
These past three days, she was genuinely worried.
After all, human body modification was no laughing matter. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even dare to think about it.
She never expected that His Highness's huge determination was actually to possess a second Devil Fruit. If this news were to spread, the entire world would probably tremble.
Dual Devil Fruit users were simply unheard of.
"Is there something you need to report to me?"
Earlier, he was in a hurry to verify his fruit ability, so he briefly gave a few instructions, then directly rushed from the Air Kingdom to this island. He wasn't clear if anything had changed in the Grand Line situation over the past three days.
Before Germa and Law, and others, discussed and researched a specific plan and formally began the modification surgery, due to time constraints, besides the Seven Warlords of the Sea being forcibly summoned to the New World G-5 Branch, "Marine Commodore" also couldn't go due to serious injuries, and the unexpected appearance of the Thriller Bark in the middle of the New World three days ago, sinking several Marine warships and other news, the two sides had actually already begun a fierce war.
"Replacing" Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, naturally had to go to the New World since he didn't want to give up his position as a Warlord.
Fighting the Whitebeard Pirates was indeed quite dangerous.
But he didn't necessarily have to fight to the death with the other side. At most, he would just show up without exerting himself.
However, the world was so vast, it was naturally impossible to fly directly from one end of the Grand Line to the other end of the New World in a day or two.
It wasn't until five days ago that Doflamingo just boarded the warship sent by the Marines from the nearest Marine branch to "Little Garden." There was still a considerable journey to the Grand Line.
"Your Highness, news from Perona..."
Ichiji continued, "Early this morning, the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly appeared near the G-5 Branch, directly triggering a huge tsunami that almost submerged the G-5 Branch, but Vice Admiral Aokiji timely used his ability to freeze the tsunami..."
"It's to be expected. No matter how angry Whitebeard is, before clarifying the situation, a proud man like him naturally wouldn't willingly be used by others..."
Ichiji didn't feel surprised, rather he chuckled: "Retaliatory attacks against the World Government are inevitable, and it's impossible to end it so easily. But he definitely won't gather thirty or forty pirate captains under him and directly launch an all-out war against the Marines."
He originally didn't expect a truly unpredictable major war to break out between the World Government and Whitebeard. After all, in the matter of Donquixote Doflamingo's capture, there were subtle hints of scheming both internally and externally.
Neither the World Government nor Whitebeard himself was the type to be led by the nose.
His goal, from the very beginning, had only been one: to capture Donquixote Doflamingo and research the "abnormal" structure of the other party, allowing Law to use the ability of the Op-Op Fruit to modify himself, enabling him to possess a second Devil Fruit, and even... a third Devil Fruit!
And now, the goal had been achieved.
What kind of situation this storm would ultimately end in was irrelevant to Germa.
Because next, he still needed to undertake other plans.
In Germa's current laboratory base, at least fifty thousand ordinary soldiers were being cultivated.
It was estimated that tens of thousands of artificial soldiers would be "fully cultivated" this year alone. In the next three or four years, even more artificial humans would successively "complete."
Adding the conscripted natives from Sky Island 1.1, the Air Kingdom would no longer lack ordinary military strength.
And now that he had gained the ability of the Mythical Zoan: Vampire Form, even if he hadn't had time to develop it deeply, his current power increase alone gave Ichiji the confidence to face even the highest combat power of the Marines.
It was time to bring that "sample" back and let the research team begin conducting super-intensive research and cultivation.
"Currently, 'Heavenly Yaksha' Donquixote Doflamingo, 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Kuma, the 'World's Greatest Swordsman' Mihawk, and 'Moonlight' Gecko Moria, these Seven Warlords of the Sea, have all gathered at the G-5 Branch. And Doflamingo is expected to arrive tomorrow!"
"'Marine Commodore' goes without saying, only 'Empress' Boa Hancock's side is still unclear..."
