The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Big Buddha Form, is an extremely rare type even among Devil Fruits, even rarer than Logia types.
And now, the power of this Devil Fruit had been contained in this room by Makima and combined with a fruit.
That fruit now held the power of a Devil, turning it into a Devil Fruit.
And Sengoku was naturally already dead...
But sometimes death doesn't matter much, because Genichi had plenty of items that could bring people back to life.
Shikon Jewel fragment...
Just one fragment could bring someone back from the dead, and now he had placed this fragment inside Sengoku's body.
Makima herself could control Sengoku and make him revive like a puppet under her command, but that kind of revival had no real value and could easily be spotted by people who knew him well.
However, using the Shikon Jewel to revive someone had a big flaw: unlike Naraku, he didn't have the matching spells to control the revived person. Of course, by now, he didn't need to be so careful anymore.
His current strength was already very high, so he no longer desperately needed an Admiral-level fighter like before.
Anyway, his main goal now was in hand: the Big Buddha Devil Fruit.
He picked up that Devil Fruit and walked out.
Pushing open the door, he unsurprisingly saw Zephyr and Sora waiting eagerly outside.
"Don't worry, I've already taken out the Devil Fruit. Admiral Sengoku should wake up within a day. But he can't eat this Devil Fruit anymore, so you two decide what to do with it."
Makima crossed her arms and said to them, "During this time, please take good care of my future subordinate."
Zephyr rushed straight into the house, while Sora, as Fleet Admiral, held back and thanked Makima politely before adding,
"I'll also apply to the World Government to explain this matter. By the way, the Five Elders are already urging us to head to Mary Geoise."
Of course they were urging, the gains from this trip were quite a lot.
Monster cells, some bodies of superpowered people, and most importantly, the super ability training boxes – the World Government must have been drooling over them already.
"I'll go prepare." Makima handed the Big Buddha Devil Fruit to Sora, then walked off into the distance.
As for who this Devil Fruit would go to, Makima didn't need to guess.
They would surely ask Sengoku's opinion, and once Sengoku learned he couldn't eat it himself, he would definitely pass it to Ah Xing. That would greatly boost Ah Xing's strength and help him become a Marine Admiral in the shortest time possible.
Because they already saw Ah Xing as the hope for the future of the Marines, especially after the huge setback the Marines had just suffered – it would only make them value Ah Xing even more.
Besides, Ah Xing himself had a deep connection to Buddhism. If Sengoku didn't give the Big Buddha Devil Fruit to Ah Xing, that would be the strange part.
Though they had only spent a short time together, Genichi had already figured out their personalities pretty well.
All of this was under his control.
Thinking about it, he really was a villain...
When leaving the hospital, Makima saw someone rushing in urgently, and she felt a slight stir.
That person...
It was Dragon, Monkey D. Dragon, Garp's son, the future leader of the Revolutionary Army, and even further in the future, the father of the Pirate King. It seemed he hadn't left the Marines yet at this point.
But that made sense – how old was he now anyway?
Makima didn't put much thought into this man for the moment and just kept walking forward.
Later, she would head to Mary Geoise with Marine Fleet Admiral Sora. For now, she might as well stroll around the Marine headquarters and see if any familiar faces from later times were still around.
But at this time, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji probably hadn't joined the Marines yet, right?
As she walked and thought, the things she was bringing to the World Government this time were plentiful, but turning them into real gains might take some time.
First up were the monster cells. Having people just eat them to boost strength would be too wasteful. His main idea was to have the World Government research if there were other ways to mass-produce them.
Using Heartweed to breed them was way too slow – basically one per week. If there was a more scientific and easier breeding method, that would be great.
And such technology and research ability was something the pirates definitely didn't have, so he had to rely on the World Government for help.
Next was the super ability training box. He could have his artificial humans use this, but items that belonged to Genichi wouldn't give him emotion points even if improved – they would just create more fighters, which would be a waste.
If the World Government could train a large number of super ability users, that would not only produce a good amount of fighting force but also increase the emotion points from people, which had no downsides for him.
And besides...
Was there any difference between placing things with the World Government and keeping them by his side?
The Marines had taken a heavy hit, so the world's main focus next would be dealing with Aatrox. His The Black Order would be far more useful than the Marines.
That meant Makima had even more leverage.
After wandering around the Marine headquarters, she didn't find anyone else interesting. The only somewhat useful one was Dragon, whom she'd seen when leaving the hospital.
By the time she got back to the ship, Sora had arrived too.
With such a big incident in Jaltzburg Kingdom, of course the two Fleet Admirals had to go report to the Five Elders in person.
The trip from Marine headquarters to Mary Geoise was very short, since one of the Marines' main duties was to guard Mary Geoise. During this time, Makima walked to the deep prison area of the ship.
"It seems you've already woken up."
In the depths of the warship, Makima entered a dim room and pulled up a chair to sit in front of the prison.
Inside the prison was Barrett, who had already woken up.
His body had quite a few red patches on it, and even some flesh stuck to him. He just sat against the back wall of the prison, silent.
Even seeing Makima arrive, he didn't say a word.
The will of The Darkin Blade Aatrox had once taken over his body. Even though Makima had driven it out now, he still hadn't recovered from the previous effects.
His mind had suffered severe damage and become extremely unstable.
"The Black Order needs generals too. If you can recover a bit, come be a general for The Black Order."
Makima said to him.
Of course, the World Government wouldn't let him go easily either – after all, with such a rare Devil host, how could they not study him thoroughly?
But that didn't matter much.
Barrett didn't speak, so Makima just stayed there and started checking out his condition.
