Castle Fruit

As the darkness dissipated, Capone Bege also died. All the important prisoners in this seastone prison except for Crocodile died.

"Noko, I give you this Castle Fruit! From now on, you will stay with me." (Although Noko has the sleep devil fruit originally, here his memory and hypnotic powers are natural and doesn't have a devil fruit for convenience's sake)

Because it is possible to go to Impel Down once, he wants to use the Memory Seahorse as a troop transportation method, which will not instantly attract the attention of Impel Down guards like Capone Bege who is a wanted criminal.

Moreover, Noko can also be used as a storage space for Basire, allowing him to enter and exit a private space without the need for an ugly man like Capone Bege.

Under Basire's arrangement, the Seahorse also quickly took a bite of the Castle Fruit. After gaining the fruit's power, he stopped eating the disgusting fruit with a look of discomfort on his face.

As each powerful Devil Fruit got an owner, the crew members who did not get a devil fruit were a little disappointed, but they were full of hope for the future.

Because there are not many cadres behind them to compete with them for a devil fruit ability.

Burgess was still looking at the injured Crocodile helplessly. He now hoped that he would act tougher and let his Captain chop this guy to death.

"I only give you one last chance to speak!"

Basire looked at Crocodile with a cold expression. He didn't know why he gave this guy so many chances.

Perhaps it's because of Crocodile's gender mystery, and it's also really incredible that this guy's bounty soared to 1.965 billion beris after the war at Marineford.

Is this guy really stronger than the Four Sweet Commanders and Three Disasters?

Basire was very confused. Oda sometimes gave bounties randomly, causing the entire bounty system to collapse.

"I want to be your first mate!"

The weak Crocodile only said one sentence and then looked at Basire, even if he surrendered, he would still stand on the shoulders of others.

"Bahahaha! There is no deputy captain on my ship, and each of them determines their status based on their strength!"

When Basire heard this, he did not kill Crocodile immediately. Instead, he explained this because he knew that this proud Crocodile had already put down a little dignity in the face of death.

The other crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates immediately looked at the rude prisoner with evil eyes.

"That's fine with me."

Crocodile finally surrendered. Whether it was fighting the Whitebeard Pirates or witnessing the appearance of Pluton, he had to survive.

"On my ship, obeying my orders is the first rule, so I hope you won't make any mistakes."

Basire smiled lightly and said, after thinking about it for a moment, he chose not to ask Trafalgar Law to take out Crocodile's heart, but directly untied all the seastone chains on his body.

If this guy really dares to run away, then the whole sea will search for him, just a lonely man.

And without Basire's approval, he couldn't even leave the Groseade.

What's more, Basire has already reached in-depth cooperation with several underworld organizations, and all kinds of information can be easily obtained.

If Crocodile dares to escape to the sea, he will soon be wanted by the forces led by the Marine and Basire.

It's better if he doesn't show any signs of defecting, otherwise he will face real death if he is spotted by Lily Carnation on the island ship.

After this Devil Fruit plundering experiment, Burgess was the only one with a bitter face. This time, he got nothing, which was really annoying!

"Don't make such a bitter face, I won't forget your devil fruit ability."

Basire comforted this loyal crew member, handed the wanted notices of Urouge, Diamond Jozu, and Juli Piot to Burgess, and told him about the advantages and disadvantages of the Karma Fruit, Twinkle Fruit, and Strong Fruit.

Finally, Fire Fist Ace's Flare Fruit ability was used as a guarantee, which made Burgess look forward to it again.

Basire promised that even if Ace dies and his devil fruit is reborn elsewhere, the Big Daddy Pirates will take it back.

…

Inside the laboratory of the Groseade.

The consciousness of the three Teach who lost their memory has returned to their original state, and the three children have returned to their bodies, but their memories of this day have also been swallowed by the memory seahorse, forgetting everything that happened today.

Basire returned to his body again, and the familiar feeling was soothing. Although he did not have the ability of the Dark Fruit, the powerful Conqueror's Haki and Barrier Fruit abilities made him feel more comfortable and at ease.

As for his Dark body, Basire put seastone handcuffs on him and asked people to take good care of this body.

He can use him next time to rob the next Devil Fruit ability.

Law, Noko, Gin, and Foxy have been organized into a guard team by Basire, ready to use their Devil Fruit abilities at any time.

Dark Basire's body has been placed inside of Noko who now has the Castle Fruit, and is being taken care of by Gin, Foxy, and Basire's women in turn.

The various officers and crew members of the Groseade have once again entered into a high intensity training, because a war is about to come.

This island ship was speeding towards Gum Island. The Big Daddy Pirates are still in contact with Naval Headquarters and the underworld, constantly obtaining information about the Kid Pirates, and are ready to hunt down the Supernova Pirates at any time.

And Eustass Kid seems to also be looking for information about the Big Daddy Pirates, trying to cause trouble for the Shichibukai, and wants to use Basire's reputation to rise to power.

What kind of battle will break out when the two groups actually meet?

Basire didn't pay much attention to Kid. He was now planning to send Fire Fist Ace to Naval Headquarters.

'Give this guy a big credit! This guy can definitely push Ace into Impel down quickly and won't give Garp a chance to intervene! And with this rat shit around, CP elites like Rob Lucci will always be suppressed.'

Basire chuckled and was ready to give the Ace to the stupid villain Spandam to attract a wave of firepower.

If he leaves it to a Marine, there is a slight possibility that Garp will intercept him and let him go secretly.

You should know that Garp, this old bastard, dared to blatantly let Straw Hat Luffy and his crew go.

In the original story, after Lafitte broke into the Marine's meeting, the Blackbeard Pirates personally escorted Fire Fist Ace to Marineford in exchange for the position of Shichibukai, so Garp had no chance to intervene.

'After picking up Ratchet and dealing with Kid, it will be time to send Ace to Enies Lobby. By the way, where is Straw Hat Luffy? No matter what, this war will also drag him into it.'

Basire thought that if Straw Hat Luffy appeared on the battlefield, Garp, Shanks, and Dragon would have a similar reaction.

In short, the more chaotic the Summit War, the better, so that he can fish in troubled waters, plunder Impel down, and seize the Tremor Fruit ability.

There are also various devil fruit users that will be in the Summit War and Basire wants to use the chance to catch them.
