North, West, South
After returning to the ship, Max remembered something and went back to Rayleigh. Upon reaching there, he called for Saga. Using the Focus, Max had already launched his communication satellite into the One Piece space. It wasn't only a communication device but also a weapon, containing 30 vibranium Rods. These rods could be dropped from space to a designated location, harnessing gravity to create a blast comparable to a nuclear explosion. Currently, there were four such satellites orbiting around the One Piece world.
"Did you forget something?" Rayleigh asked upon seeing Max reappear.
"Yes, I called Saga here. Just wait, I will explain," Max nodded and replied.
"Hmm, did you get a Devil Fruit for him too? After all, that kid doesn't have much talent," Rayleigh nodded and asked.
"No, but it's something else," Max smiled slightly as he replied.
After a few minutes, Saga arrived at Max's location. "Captain, you called?"
Max nodded and handed him a small capsule. "Take this, and you'll gain some talent."
The capsule he gave to Saga was essentially a super soldier serum optimized for the people of this world. It had no drawbacks other than a huge demand for life force. But meeting this demand is easy for Max, with the Vampire Necromancer fruit now in his arsenal.
Saga looked at the small blue capsule in his hand and then swallowed it. Max then instructed him to lie down on the ground, using binding magic to prevent any movement. He inserted his index fingernail into Saga's neck, supplying him with life force.
Saga gritted his teeth as the capsule started its work, rearranging his muscle tissues, fortifying his bones and organs, and even cleansing his body of unnecessary muscle mass.
After half an hour, the process was completed. Max removed his finger from Saga's neck and released the bindings.
"This... is too strong," Saga said, feeling his increased strength by clenching his hands and stretching.
Max nodded, seeing the super soldier serum enhancing Saga's abilities by 200%.
"Now you also have talent. Work hard, and don't let me down," Max said to Saga.
Upon hearing Max's words, Saga raised his head and genuinely thanked Max.
"This is some....drug you developed," Rayleigh remarked after Saga left to resume training.
Chuckling, Max replied, "Do you also want it?"
"No, making me young is enough. But can it be used on females?" Rayleigh asked, shaking his head and denying the serum. He then inquired about using it for females as he want powerful protectors like Boa Hancock, considering that Amazon Island didn't have many.
"It works on females too," Max replied as he passed some capsules to him.
"thanks, I will call you when I will be going to use it" Rayleigh thanked Max as he took the capsules and remarked.
"Okay," Max nodded and returned to the North Blue.
Arriving in the North Blue, he resumed his usual activity of inspection. Together with Shiki, he had destroyed many kingdoms and saved some. Max also acquired a good amount of loot, including a Thunder Dragon Mythical fruit.
He granted Law, the future Death Surgeon, access to the Infinity Tower. The more worthy challengers trained in the Tower, the more skills Max could copy.
Max then repeated the same cleaning procedure in other seas and this time no Hunter Organisation person came to stop them, not even navy.
Having combed through the South, East, North, and West Blues, Max and Shiki embarked on their journey to the Grand Line.
Kidd, a future Supernova with the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, joined Max's Hunter Organization after a forceful yet enlightening encounter. Through Kidd's memories, Max learned that Kidd turned to piracy due to his kingdom's destitution caused by Heavenly Gold. Kidd's family and many others perished, driving him and his friends to become pirates. Unfortunately, Kidd met Max, who bested him and later sent him to the Hunter Organization along with his crew.
Crossing the Upside-Down Mountain, Max opted for the Whiskey Peak route en route to Alabasta.
As they sailed toward Whiskey Peak, turbulent weather greeted them with dark clouds and fierce winds. The ship swayed amid surging waves.
Max stood resolute at the helm, squinting against the rain, while Shiki swiftly secured the sails, preventing them from tearing apart.
"Captain, this storm isn't an ordinary squall," Shiki shouted over the gales.
Max nodded grimly, gripping the wheel firmly. "I sense this is more than rough weather. Stay vigilant, Shiki."
Navigating the tumultuous seas, they glimpsed Whiskey Peak's lights through the rain. But something felt amiss—the island's welcoming atmosphere seemed too serene for such a tempestuous night.
"Whiskey Peak appears too calm given this weather, plus who welcomes Pirates" Shiki remarked, eyeing the shore.
Max smirked knowingly. "It's indeed a trap."
Docking calmly, their powerful personas masked, they were welcomed by seemingly genial townsfolk, inviting them to a grand celebration.
"Welcome, travelers! You must join our banquet and revelry," a townsfolk cheerfully declared.
Max exchanged a subtle glance with Shiki. Despite suspicions, they played along, concealing their identities. As night descended, the celebration commenced, slowly revealing the town's true intentions.
The seemingly friendly residents were covert bounty hunters, aiming to feast and capture unsuspecting pirates for their bounties.
Remaining composed, Max and Shiki calmly observed. The bounty hunters' strength wasn't enough to rattle them. Still they maintained their guard while engaging in the banquet, awaiting the right moment to reveal their true prowess.
As the night wore on, emboldened by revelry, the bounty hunters attempted to strike. Max and Shiki swiftly unleashed their formidable abilities, overpowering the hunters.
Max harnessed his Vampire Necromancer powers, summoning skeletal warriors to defend and attack, all while calmly sipping wine. Shiki showcased his mastery over his fruit, creating powerful attacks that overwhelmed the opposition.
The townspeople were astonished by their unexpected guests' strength and skill. Realizing their blunder, the bounty hunters were swiftly overpowered.
With the skirmish won, Max and Shiki swiftly boarded their ship, leaving Whiskey Peak as the storm abated. Alabasta awaited their next adventure.
Next destination for them is Little garden, where they will meet the two giants.
Max sitting in his cabin is synthesizing the devil fruits while Shiki is going through the Infinity tower, Shiki got a interesting class of Psyker Swordsman, it's basically a Psychic power swordsman.
Max looked over the details of the Devil fruit he has combined :-
[The Soul King fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the user the power to manipulate and dissolve the essence of souls.
Ability : Soul Annihilation, Soul healing, Soul Manipulation, Soul Extraction, Soul-Driven Constructs, Soul Perception ]
[Meru Meru no Mi, Model: Siren or fish fish fruit model : Mermaid
Ability : Transformation into Siren Form, Aquatic Prowess : Bio luminescence , Water blessing, Enchanting Voice, Enhanced Durability, Bio Electricity ]
"Good fruits, especially Mermaid one" Max thought happily as Mermaid fruit in One Piece world is big killer. As instead of weakening the user when it's eater came in contact with Sea Water, it will enhance their overall capabilities by 100% due to water blessing of it's.
