[Human (ancient monitor lizard) gene: A special gene that possesses human intelligence and the ferocity and strength of ancient beasts, but it also contains a trace of flaws. It seems to be afraid of the sea?]
"Defect?"
Looking at the gene introduction on the panel, Mio's eyes flickered, and he was suddenly surprised.
Unexpectedly, after killing a person with a Devil fruit ability, the gene he got was actually this.
Even if he gave this gene to a creature, they would have the same defects as if they had eaten a Devil fruit, but it still seems...very useful.
After all, there is a function of 'gene fusion' in Mio's Cheat.
The so-called 'gene fusion' function is to fuse different genes and bring together the powerful abilities contained in these genes.
If he kills a few more people with Devil fruit abilities, and gets more such genes and fuses them all to cultivate a creature, that creature would be like an upgraded version of Blackbeard.
Although it would still be afraid of seawater after successful cultivation, it would be able to become a person with multiple devil fruit abilities like Blackbeard.
"Tsk, unexpected joy." After Mio murmured, the corners of his mouth raised, and then he closed the panel.
"Let's go." After speaking to Erica, Mio was about to leave.
In the tavern, the only place that was considered unspoiled may be the bar.
Mio came to the bar, looked at the old man, scratched his head and asked, "Is the rum ready?"
"Ready." The old man was stunned, and then nodded quickly.
He didn't seem to expect that Mio who had just killed a powerful pirate of North Blue would be so kind to him.
Looking around the tavern, Mio took out one million Berries, handed it to the old man, and said, "The money for the rum is here. The rest is compensation for destroying the tavern. Let's go."
Although this old man had opened a tavern on Pirate Island, it didn't mean that he was a pirate himself. Mio still wanted to pay for tge things that he had broken.
After leaving the money, Mio left the tavern with Erica. He carried two barrels of rum, and walked towards the port.
Along the way, the gathered pirates took the initiative to make way for Mio.
Soon, the two returned to the port and saw that some pirates had gathered in the port.
Mio caught a pirate and asked which one Anderson's pirate ship was. Then, all the treasures on Anderson's ship were taken by him.
Mio was deciding on the next route and thinking about whether to go to impel down if he had time.
After all, people with Devil fruit ability are the most easy to come across in Impel down.
And to be honest, Impel down is easy to go, but the hard part is getting out of there.
Mio was not 100% confident that he could get out after going in.
But if he had the strength in the future, Mio felt that he would definitely go to Impel Down.
After all, it was a bit unrealistic to meet those with Devil fruit abilities on the sea, even in the Grand Line, these people were not so easy to encounter.
And most of them have only eaten an ordinary Zoan devil fruit.
Really good abilities are mostly in the hands of some strong people, and there is no shortage of strong ones in Impel down.
"It's a pity that the time of the beginning of the story is not now, otherwise I would go there right away." Mio murmured.
During the period of the beginning of the story, many of the pirates imprisoned in Impel down had good possessions.
As for which criminals are still being held in Impel down at this time, Mio really doesn't know.
Maybe Douglas Bullet is already in Impel down, but he is not clear about the others.
While thinking about it, Warwick came back. He was carrying a treasure chest on his shoulders.
He placed it in front of Mio, and said happily, "Master, a lot of gold coins."
"Oh? Really?" Hearing that, Mio opened the treasure chest with a smile, and suddenly golden light appeared in front of his eyes.
Mio grabbed a handful and watched the gold coins slip from his palm, and then he shouted towards Erica, "Erica, come here quickly."
"Master, I am here." Erica trotted over immediately, looking at her master suspiciously.
Mio picked up a necklace inlaid with blue crystals and diamonds from the treasure chest.
He took off Erica's cloak, and put it around her neck.
After touching his chin, he nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, it's so beautiful. I'll give you this necklace."
Hearing this, Erica looked down at the necklace. She was stunned, and then she squinted her eyes and nodded happily.
"Thank you Master, I will take good care of this necklace."
As she spoke, Erica held up the necklace with her two white tender hands, with a cautious expression.
Rubbing Erica's head, Mio smiled without speaking.
With a sudden suspicion, he tossed aside the gold coins in the treasure chest and saw a book.
It was said to be a book, but it was actually a scrap to be exact, with only a dozen pages on it.
When Mio opened it, he was suddenly surprised, "Devil Fruit Illustration Book?"
Yes, this thing is indeed the Devil Fruit Illustration Book. Each page introduced the name and ability of a Devil Fruit.
This thing was precious but not that precious. Many people use it, but it is really rare.
Because the people who own this thing are basically strong or some kings or nobles.
Mio didn't expect to encounter a Devil Fruit illustration book here. Although it was just a scrap, it was not a bad harvest.
Holding the fragment of the Devil Fruit illustration book, Mio asked Warwick to take the treasure chest to his room.
Then, he set sail, and the boat left the island. He sat on the bow of the ship, looking at the Devil Fruit illustration book.
There were more than a dozen pages of illustrations. Mio looked over page after page.
In the above content, there were not only Devil Fruit's name and ability introduction, but also pictures, as well as some powerful people in the sea who had used this Devil Fruit ability.
The Devil Fruit abilities described on the pages were all ordinary abilities, such as some Zoans, Paramecias, and Logias.
But he saw something special on the last page... Dark Fruit.
He saw the picture and the name of the Devil Fruit. The introduction beyond that was only one sentence.
"Logia Devil Fruit, the Devil Fruit of the previous Pirate Overlord Rocks. It is called the strongest devil fruit by Rocks. The reason is unknown!"
Looking at the introduction, Mio was suddenly surprised.
"Rocks ate the Dark Fruit?"
As the pirate overlord of the generation before Roger, Rocks was undoubtedly a legendary existence.
Even, the traces of Rocks had also been erased by the world government just like the blank 100 year old history.
This showed the importance that the World government had paid to Rocks.
Such an existence was finally terminated by the joint effort of Marine hero Garp and Pirate King Roger. This was really weird.
