Snow-Snow Fruit

After a year after being founded, various buildings have been built on Lilith's Egg, and as per Makima's requests, the place had a religious vibe to it.

Moreover, through the World Government's publicity, many people were interested in joining Black Order. Of course, some of them were spies from other forces that blended in, but Makima didn't really care.

Her power could ensure that they all would be loyal to her. Besides, keeping these people as double agents was a pretty good idea.

Just like the Marine, Black Order's supreme commander, Makima, was an equal to a Fleet Admiral. Even though on paper Makima had to obey the orders of the World Government, she actually had a fairly high freedom. The contract that Makima signed with the World Government was to deal with the demons and monsters. In other words, Black Order wasn't obligated to deal with everything else.

In the past year, Genichi would occasionally use Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments to create a monster for Black Order to vanquish so that Black Order's reputation would get better, but it wasn't that efficient.

In the story that Makima made up, the demons were actually in the form of a soul, and they needed a suitable body to materialize in this world, so it did not arouse much suspicion in the past half year.

In addition to this, Toguro became the most famous monster.

In this year, Toguro also caused quite a ruckus in the New World. From time to time, some pirates and nobles would mysteriously obtain Jewel of Four Souls' Fragments, but then Toguro knocked on their door and took the fragments away.

Because of this, people all over the world came to think that he was a monster. During the past half a year, a horde of pirates would often ambush him.

But because no one could predict Toguro's movement, and he did not need a ship to travel on the sea, those pirates could not catch him even if they wanted to.

Toguro was known to be a monster that could stand toe to toe with Roger and Whitebeard.

A month ago, the World Government also issued an order to Black Order to capture Toguro.

Since Toguro was a monster, Black Order naturally could not refuse. Therefore, under Makima's order, Thor went to the depths of the New World to find Toguro.

Of course, Toguro would never be found if he didn't want to be found.

And today, Makima was talking with the messenger sent by the World Government.

At the center of Black Order's headquarters, there was a huge building that resembled a chapel. Makima sat in the office on the top floor with a masked CP0 agent sitting across her.

"Regarding the half-demon Toguro, Five Elders is not exactly in a hurry to deal with him. After all, Toguro is powerful. I'm afraid we have to mobilize the powerful force that we used to deal with Shiki if we want to deal with Toguro."

At that time, two Admirals and Thor were dispatched to deal with Shiki. Although the battle didn't go that smoothly, it was clear that the World Government was serious in dealing with the big pirates.

And if Thor went by himself, Toguro might be able to escape even if he managed to overpower him. Therefore, the CP0 agent said that Five Elders was not in a hurry, because this was not something that could be dealt with in a hurry.

Makima said casually while resting her chin on her hands, "Thank you for the World Government's understanding. After all, it has only been a year since Black Order was founded, and a lot of things haven't been sorted out yet."

"However, Five Elders has a request. Since Black Order is an organization that belongs to the World Government, it should follow the World Government's order. If demons and monsters insist on going against us or commit severe crimes, then it'll be the Black Order's duty to execute them. However, if they didn't pose that much of a threat, please send them to Impel Down instead. Because Impel Down is opening additional cells to imprison demons. You should understand what Five Elders means, right?"

What the CP0 agent implied was very simple. They did not want Makima to be the only person who had the power to deal with demons. They wanted to study the demons, and hopefully came up with a way to deal with them or manipulate them. That way, the World Government wouldn't have to rely on Makima all the time.

Makima naturally understood what the CP0 agent meant. The corners of her mouth rose slightly. "I understand. I will do as Five Elders ask. Is there anything else?"

Judging from the World Government's habit, they would experiment with the demons. She had investigated this year and discovered that Vegapunk had been nabbed by the Marine and became their scientist.

Moreover, even without Vegapunk, they had studied the giants for hundreds of years. Human experiments and so on should be common for them.

They learned from Toguro that humans could turn into half-demons. Although they were not real demons, they could restore their body back to their youth.

From this perspective, there were very few people in this world who could resist this kind of power. It was not strange if it piqued the Five Elders' interest.

On the other hand, the CP0 agent was a little surprised that Makima actually agreed so easily. In the past half year, they had dealt with Black Order a lot, and how should he put it? Although Makima did not seem that overbearing that people would feel scared just by looking at her, the air around her just made people feel inferior.

And Makima's answer to the World Government had always been completely laid-back and loose. However, she actually agreed so easily this time, which made the CP0 agent a little weirded out.

"That will be all. Since you've got my point, then there is no need to prolong my stay here."

It was a strange feeling. When he saw Makima, he always felt a vague sense of inferiority. The CP0 agent really did not want to stick around if it weren't for an order, so he immediately excused himself now that his business here was done.

After the CP0 agent left, Makima leaned back on her chair.

Not long after, the door to the room was opened again. Thor, dressed in a black suit and wearing a blue mask, walked in. On paper, he was chasing Toguro, but in fact, he was doing something else.

And now, his task had been completed.

Thor respectfully placed a Devil Fruit in his hand on the table. This was the only Logia Devil Fruit they had found so far, 'Snow-Snow Fruit'.
