In the ensuing time, Chiba conducted a comprehensive study of Ace's body and extracted the purest blood factor for in-depth research.
Half a month later, Chiba's efforts bore fruit.
[You have conducted in-depth research on Ace's physical blood and the changes in blood factors before and after Ace uses the Devil Fruit. By combining your previous life's experience, you have created the Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow Form.]
[Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow Form: With ordinary true energy, it allows control over countless flames without harm, wielding powerful fire. With spiritual energy, it transforms into a golden crow, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, wielding immense power. With even more potent spiritual power or pure divine power, the Golden Crow burns the world, sacrificing itself to unleash tremendous power, capable of incinerating an entire world.]
Majestic information flooded into Chiba's mind as he organized the data and information.
The Mera-Mera Fruit's Golden Crow form was incredibly powerful. If someone could cultivate spiritual power, the resulting flames could match or exceed those of a Marine Admiral.
More importantly, those who consumed Chiba's artificial fruit would not be forsaken by the sea and could swim freely.
This artificial fruit was more attractive than the real Mera-Mera Fruit.
Chiba spent another three days extracting Ace's purest blood factor to create a Devil Fruit in the Golden Crow form.
The power of this Devil Fruit was comparable to the Snow-Snow Fruit Ice Queen form he had previously created.
Naturally, Chiba was concerned about entrusting such a powerful fruit to Doflamingo, fearing it might affect his brand's reputation.
Chiba approached Doflamingo and said, "Mr. Doffer, I'll keep this Mera-Mera Fruit until the competition concludes. I will personally deliver it to the winner."
Doflamingo eyed the blood-red fruit with milky white patterns in Chiba's hand and asked, "How does this Devil Fruit compare to the previous Snow-Snow Fruit Ice Queen?"
"This Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form took significant energy to produce, requiring a year to recover and a large amount of materials. It's on par with the Snow-Snow Fruit Ice Queen form."
"Equal?" Doflamingo's eyes gleamed with greed. Having witnessed the power of the Snow-Snow Fruit in the Snow Queen form, he knew consuming it could elevate his strength to a Yonko's level. He coveted the fruit and didn't want to offer it as a prize.
"Mr. Chiba, we don't need to offer such a powerful Devil Fruit for our business. I'll buy this Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form at any price you name. We can use other fruits as rewards."
Chiba shook his head, "Dover, to do big business, one must invest significantly. The stronger the fruit's power, the greater the impact, doubling the value of our Devil Fruits. Don't you see?"
"That's true, but this fruit is stronger than the Mera-Mera Fruit. I'm hesitant to use such a powerful fruit as a prize," Doflamingo mused, plotting to have his cadres seize the fruit.
Ace, observing the artificial Devil Fruit in Chiba's hand, asked, "Chiba, is this the Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form you made from my Mera-Mera Fruit? How can it be stronger than my Mera-Mera Fruit?"
Doflamingo smiled, "Fuffuffuffu, Ace, believe it. Mr. Chiba's Devil Fruit is undoubtedly stronger."
"Heh, don't trust a defeated foe," Ace retorted, unimpressed by Doflamingo's newfound strength.
Doflamingo sneered, "Fuffuffuffu, find out whether the Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form is stronger by fighting its user."
"Alright, I don't believe this artificial Devil Fruit is stronger. I'll go with you."
"Chiba, I want to go too," Peacock interjected, hugging Chiba's arm before Hina pulled her back. "What will you do, cause trouble?"
Peacock pouted quietly.
Chiba reflected, "If we separate, the Five Elders might use you against me. Stay with me."
"Oh yeah," Peacock cheered, and Hina smiled, pleased to accompany Chiba at sea.
Marco and others were intrigued by the Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form, especially Vista, eager to see who would claim it and whether Ace or the new user would be stronger.
Thus, Chiba's group, Ace's crew, and Doflamingo's forces set sail together.
Hancock refused to leave Chiba's side. As a Shichibukai, Marine wouldn't target her, and with Margaret guarding Daughter Island, she felt secure leaving.
The sea was tumultuous, and the pirate ship seemed like a leaf on the waves, yet the pirates were exhilarated, shouting into the wind.
In the distance, a towering wave loomed, threatening to capsize the ships.
The navigator shouted to Ace, "The waves are too high, Captain, open a path!"
Ace responded, "I'm not the captain now. Chiba, it's your job."
"No wonder you made me captain, just to shirk duties," Chiba said, standing on deck, facing the massive wave, and clenching his fists.
With Armament Haki, Chiba pulled back his right arm, muscles tensed.
"Hah!"
Chiba roared, unleashing a devastating punch, collapsing the wave. The sea remained turbulent, but the massive wave was gone.
"Awesome, Captain!" the crew cheered, their admiration for Chiba deepened by his display of power.
Ace watched, impressed. He could only carve a path, not obliterate the wave entirely.
Doflamingo pondered whether he could withstand such a punch and resolved to avoid confrontation with Chiba.
A month later, they arrived at Doflamingo's stronghold, Dressrosa.
Dressrosa, a land with a rich history, once ruled by the Donquixote Family before joining the World Government, then governed by the Liku family, fell into chaos before Doflamingo seized control using Sugar's powers.
Dressrosa was renowned for producing lifelike dolls, a testament to Sugar's influence over the land.
Chiba was intrigued by Sugar but knew Doflamingo would never offer her for research. To study Sugar, Chiba would need to act covertly or defeat Doflamingo.
Despite Doflamingo's misdeeds, Chiba remained indifferent, as long as his interests weren't threatened. In a world of pirates, strength was essential for survival and fairness.
Chiba's group reached Dressrosa, where flowers bloomed, and architecture was Western European in style. The streets were filled with joyful people, living as if in a peaceful era.
Hina admired the scenery, "It's a beautiful place."
"Fuffuffuffu, Miss Hina, if you like, stay longer. Dressrosa is famous for its dolls. I'll gift you some," Doflamingo offered with a smile.
Hina noticed the autonomous dolls, interacting with children, directing traffic, aiding the elderly, and bargaining in markets.
"Incredible, these dolls are like real people. Mr. Dover, how are they made? They're just like humans, astonishing," Hina marveled.
"My factory can produce Devil Fruits, mere dolls are nothing," Doflamingo replied. "What type do you want, Miss Hina? Girl dolls or..."
"She doesn't need any," Chiba interrupted, warning his group, "Don't consider these dolls."
"Yes," they conceded, abandoning the idea.
Hina, Peacock, and Hancock were puzzled but didn't press further. Hina declined Doflamingo's offer, "No, I'm not interested."
Doflamingo wondered if Chiba suspected the truth, probing, "Mr. Chiba, these dolls are a local specialty. Handy for storage."
Chiba smiled, "If you share your doll-making technology, I'm interested."
"Fuffuffuffu, not impossible. Trade me your Devil Fruit technology, and I'll share mine."
Chiba laughed, "Dressrosa's scenery is lovely."
Doflamingo sighed, realizing Chiba wouldn't trade.
Doflamingo led Chiba, Ace, and Hancock to the palace, arranging for maids to serve them.
Hina dismissed the maids, massaging Chiba's shoulders, "Chiba, why didn't you want a doll today?"
"They seem odd, unsettling," Chiba replied, keeping the secret that the dolls were people.
Hina didn't pursue it, continuing to massage Chiba.
Meanwhile, Doflamingo announced a competition with the prize being Chiba's Mera-Mera Fruit Golden Crow form.
The news spread rapidly across the sea.
One day, Red-Haired Shanks' crew docked for supplies. Benn Beckman handed Shanks a newspaper.
"Captain, look."
Shanks read, surprised, "How is this possible? Man-made Devil Fruit, and Chiba made a Logia? Incredible."
Shanks knew about artificial Devil Fruits, which often resulted in death or monstrous transformations. Logia types were unheard of.
"Captain, do you believe it?" Benn Beckman asked seriously.
"Impossible," Shanks scoffed. "Even if Chiba's powerful, he can't make Logia Devil Fruits, or his crew would wield them and topple the World Government easily."
"What's Chiba planning?"
"Let's join the fun."
