Transcend!

"Congratulations!" 2x

Robin and Carina looked at Shinra happily as he finally gained the power that he sought the most. 

"Thanks." 

Shinra hugged the two, then brought them out by flying, as it was too dusty, dirty, and stuffy inside the maze, yet without a doubt, the two were curious about the abilities that he had gained from the Devil Fruit. 

How strong had he become after he gained this Devil Fruit? 

They were all curious, especially when he started his journey far away from the Jaya Island, Arabasta Kingdom, Saobody Archipelago, Fish-Man Island, the Punk Hazard, the Dressrosa Kingdom, and finally, found the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire. 

Was it so powerful? 

"I have heard the Zoan-Type Devil Fruit will make the user more powerful in physical ability and recovery, right?" Robin asked as she gazed curiously at Shinra's lower body. 

"Oh..." Carina felt her legs go weak, as Robin was pregnant and she was the one who had helped Shinra in that area; frankly, it was tough.

Fortunately, Robin could help Carina with her Devil Fruit's ability, as the Hana Hana no Mi was one of the most perverted Devil Fruits! 

Yet, well... Carina had to admit that being with him felt good, though~!

'Should I get pregnant, too?' 

Still, as Robin was pregnant, Carina wondered whether she should get pregnant, too, as it felt wonderful to think that she had his children. 

However, let's do that later since the two of them knew well that they needed someone who could help them. 

If possible, someone with a strong physical ability! 

Big Mom? 

Definitely not! 

"Well, the overall improvement in my power due to this Devil Fruit is great, but it is far from the artificial Devil Fruit that I have eaten." 

"Is it?" 

"Yes." Shinra nodded. Compared to other Mythical-type Zoan Devil Fruits, this Devil Fruit is at best mid-level in terms of improving physical ability." 

Compared to the Artificial Devil Fruit, Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Dragon, the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire was lower. When compared to other Mythical-type Zoan Devil Fruits, it couldn't be said to be the most exceptional in terms of physical ability. 

"However, in terms of recovery, it is the best. It is even better than the Phoenix." 

Yes, what made the vampire better than others was the recovery. 

The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix might have a better regeneration as it could heal the user instantly. Meanwhile, the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire was almost instant, a slightly lower, but in terms of recovery, it was far better since as long as he consumed blood and life force, he could continue to fight forever. 

On the battlefield, would he lack blood?

The blood of his enemies, friends, and everything, as long as one was living, would all become fuel for his energy. 

Luffy with the Nika Nika no Mi might be powerful, but to use this Devil Fruit, he would use a lot of energy and would become old, shrink, and frail due to the excessive energy consumption, but Shinra had no such problem, as he could gain more energy by consuming the blood and life force. 

The key to every power was energy. 

The more energy one had, the more powerful they were. 

This was why Shinra sought the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire. It might not give him unlimited energy, but as long as his opponents were living beings that had flesh instead of incorporeal beings like ghosts, spirits, gods, or mechas, then they all would have become his source of energy. 

The ability to absorb the blood of others as a source of energy, this was why he sought this Devil Fruit! 

Yet, even without such an ability, this Devil Fruit was one of the best abilities, as he could do many things that a vampire in legend could do. 

Such as becoming a bat, manipulating bats, blood manipulations, flight, intangibility, mist manipulations, and many others. 

All the legends about the vampire and its abilities, after Shinra ate this Devil Fruit, were possible. 

Still, without a doubt, the ability to suck other life-forces to regain youth was the most buggy ability as it made him an immortal creature as long as all living beings existed in this world. 

"..." Carina and Robin. 

"...immortality?" 2x

"Yup." Shinra nodded. "Even if we can't defeat our enemies, we can outlive them, and when they are old and weak, they are at our mercy." Naturally, he could share the lifeforce that he had absorbed with his lovers, families, or allies, which made them able to heal faster and live forever. 

"I wonder whether I can turn you two into vampires."

"..." 2x 

Vampirization. 

The ability to turn others into vampires. 

If Robin and Carina could become vampires, then... wouldn't it be better that way, so they could get the life force by themselves. 

"Can you?" Carina asked excitedly. 

Robin didn't say anything, but her eyes showed the same excitement. 

The two of them had been a burden for him, and if they gained the power of vampires, then they could become stronger, too. 

"I will develop it, but it is better to test it on something else first." 

"You are right." 

It was too risky to test this ability on them, but the two of them trusted him as they loved him. 

"By the way, do you need to drink blood like those vampires in the story?" Robin asked. 

"Er..." 

Before Shinra could say anything, Robin bit her index finger, causing it to bleed, then pointed it in his direction. 

"...." 

While he was speechless, he felt quite tempted and even got hard somehow as Robin's blood seemed to smell sweet, like the most delicious nectar, which made him subconsciously stick his tongue, licking her wounded finger, and licking it like a lollipop. 

"....." Robin and Carina. 

The two of them felt their bodies scorching in some way as they had to say Shinra was too lewd. 

While he didn't realize it, his charm was even better as he had eaten the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire. Originally, he was handsome, probably one of the most handsome in the world of One Piece, but as he ate this Devil Fruit, he had this supernatural charm that made his appearance even flawless, perfect, and the ideal form of men sought in women. 

As he took the Devil Fruit by using his Eye of Usurp, and he just took the merits and left the demerits, he didn't become an ugly character like Patrick Redfield, the original user of the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire. 

"Here, you can have mine, too." 

Carina made her finger bleed, which made Shinra speechless, but as he released Robin's finger, her finger became smooth, white, and clean from any wounds, which surprised them. 

"...there is no wound anymore?" Robin was surprised. 

Shinra ignored Robin's surprise and sucked Carina's finger like Robin, but this wasn't because of his desire to suck the blood of women; instead, it was because of another reason why he sought this Devil Fruit besides the ability to replenish his energy from blood and life force. 

What is contained within the blood? 

Naturally, it was DNA, the information of the individual, and as Shinra could ingest the blood and read information of that DNA from the blood, couldn't he also copy the talents, skills, and everything from the blood that he had ingested? 

Yes, as long as he gained the blood of others, their talents, potentials, and everything would be copied within his body! 

This is one of the most buggy abilities of the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire. 

'When I eat everything, then...' 

By then, Shinra would no longer be a normal vampire, but transcend further into a higher being, like that of a God.

Still, before he reached that stage, he had to deal with his meetings with the members of the CP0. 

"Let me be straight." 

On the Den Den Mushi that was held by the two members of the CP0 in front of him, one voice said, "Do you want to become a member of the CP0?" 

"...." Shinra.
