Shaking her head slightly, Nami said nothing more and simply left the room. She believed that Weiwei, the princess who was not stupid, would give the best answer.

The reason why Nami decided to speed up her steps was also very simple.

"B...BOSS! You are here!"

The jailer who reluctantly spoke was obviously in a very bad mood, and the reason for this mood was not that he lost money in the casino or anything else, but because of... fear.

Nami's red eyes narrowed slightly. Not everyone can be a jailer, so of course those guarding the cells are not ordinary Baroque members, but thugs who are recognized as capable and hard-hearted. What the murderous guy was afraid of was obviously not something ordinary.

In fact, there is no need for these jailers to say anything more. The smell of blood in the air is so strong that it is almost indistinguishable. It is enough to explain what happened in these cells in just one day and one night.

Sure enough...the consequences of losing control mean death and destruction, and not just your own.

After seeing clearly the situation inside those cells, even though she knew that those people were experimental subjects destined to die, Nami still sighed subconsciously, not pity for the lives of these people, but pity that the fragile species of human beings cannot control themselves. everything that may result.

There is no doubt that there are no living people anymore, and even...the bodies of these people are not left behind. Inside the entire cell, apart from the blood and brains splattered on the floor and walls, there were only some tattered strips of clothing and... a few monsters living based on the cell.

However, they are both monsters, but the forms of the flesh are obviously different. This is also the purpose of Nami's experiment: she wants to see how many mutations humans have after being infused with her own blood.

"They... started last night... uh, that is to say... they... ate their own companions..."

The jailer following Nami stammered and tried his best to convey what he had observed, but it was not difficult to tell from the pauses in his sentences that this was his best effort.

The monster in the first cage is a thing that looks like it has been peeled off, just like the posture of a human being with its limbs spread out, and its head is no longer the head of the human body, but is located on the spine of the human body. In the center, it looks like it has turned into a twisted and deformed four-legged spider. However, this ugly form is obviously not just ugly, the deformed but symmetrical four legs are undoubtedly capable of bursting out with frightening jumping power and agility.

However, the price for the formation of this monster was undoubtedly heavy. There were at least twenty pieces of broken clothing scattered around it, which were obviously the disappeared pirates. In other words, in order to eat these former companions, the one who was Na The body of a pirate contaminated by American blood has been deformed into this form that is specialized in physical combat. Of course, it may also be because this is a closed environment, so the most effective and direct distortion posture was chosen.

"So, this is the first type: a practical distortion that focuses on physical combat. It seems that it is the natural distortion of biological instincts after fighting."

Observing the four-legged monster in the cage carefully, Nami easily discovered the fact that it was trembling in front of her. Although it was difficult to say whether such a monster had any emotions, it was indeed showing off in front of Nami. Not daring to move, this discovery made Nami's gloomy face finally relax a little more. As long as these monsters still know how to be afraid of themselves, they are not a threat to themselves.

Nodding, Nami also turned her gaze to the second cage on one side. This cage was a separate cell, and inside it was the strongest captain among the pirates. But at this moment, it seemed that the only thing left there was An empty piece of clothing. Naturally, such a disguise could not be hidden from Nami. She just raised her hand slightly, and as the blood fruit ability user's control force was activated, the thing that looked like clothing suddenly twitched and twisted violently, and even It made a blood-curdling hissing sound, and even the sharp and dense teeth inside the mimic collar were clearly visible.

"Interesting. Because food resources are scarce, is it disguised in a form similar to clothing to lure new prey that may be interested in it?"

Nami's eyebrows raised slightly, and her words made several jailors on one side break into cold sweats instantly. Yes, they were very interested in sneaking that piece of clothing that looked like a good fabric. After taking what was sold, it seemed that if they hadn't strictly followed Nami's orders and not opened the cage without permission, then they might have been the prey of this mimic monster.

It was determined that these blood-induced distortions were not a single type, but were adaptive distortions based on the environment and the abundance of prey. Moreover, regardless of whether the experimental subjects stimulate the blood in their bodies, their bodies will change, it is just a matter of time.

After looking at several other similar monsters, Nami finally fixed her sights on the last and most special monster.

It was an existence that looked like a girl. Whether it was the white and naked body or the graceful curves, it could profoundly demonstrate the beauty that female human beings should have. At this moment, it was curled up with its hands on its knees. On the ground, the long black hair scattered on the back can even be seen trembling due to fear.

And this cell is basically the cleanest one, because there is no blood or body fluids spilled on the ground. There are only dozens of complete sets of pirate clothes piled around the body of this girl-looking monster. In other words, there was no massacre like the others in this cell, but under some strange circumstances, the pirates lost their lives and bodies.

"This cell is the only cell with women yesterday. That means..."

Staring at the monster that was trembling because of her arrival, Nami did not wait for the guard on the side to answer, because she knew the answer very well. She even more or less guessed what happened in this cage. In other words, how did this monster that looked exactly like a human eat all the pirates around it without resisting?

Well...it seems that the situation that worries Nami the most has happened, that is, these blood aberrations may indeed produce the most special kind of aberration, which is to maximize the camouflage for the human group. Aberration, because for a species, the greatest means of camouflage is not to become something they cannot imagine, but to become like them.

(PS1: Well, there are many changes that abilities may cause, but it is not that easy to pick out the change results that suit the user's wishes. It requires rigorous experimentation and exercise.)

(PS2: Autumn is here~~yawn~~)

inspection

"Keep your head up."

Looking at the seemingly weak 'girl' in the cell, Nami's tone didn't have the slightest warmth. Because she knew very well that no matter how beautiful and harmless the things inside were, the roiling desire for prey underneath could almost be smelled. Taking things like this lightly was like being intoxicated with demons in the deep sea. Like the colorfully changing skin of an octopus.

"Woo~"

The female monster inside the cage did not respond to Nami's words, but still maintained the trembling posture, and could even hear the faint whimpering sound. With its petite and weak appearance, it could indeed make any ordinary person There is an existence where people let down their guard.

"I see, it seems like I can't understand human speech..."

This reaction somewhat relaxed the arc of Nami's brows. She stopped talking and suddenly raised her hand. As the control power of the blood fruit was released, the female monster who was originally huddled on the ground couldn't help but let out a cry. She screamed, and then was dragged directly to the cell door as if being pulled, revealing her hidden face.

It was a face with no normal facial features at all. There was only a huge blood-red pupil in the center of the original face. But other than that, other parts of its body, whether it was a tall and plump chest, or a slender and flat The lower abdomen is almost as perfect as female beauty can be. At this moment, perhaps it felt the huge threat Nami posed to it. While the monster was struggling hard, a strong substance was also released from around its body, making the air in the prison seem to be hazy in an instant.

"Ah...Sally..."

The jailers behind Nami were almost immediately affected by this substance. One of the jailers stared blankly at the monster's huge eyes, with only memories and pain in his eyes, which made him His footsteps walked towards him involuntarily.

? ! So it turns out that releasing pheromones to confuse the surrounding humans, with a perfect body and a face that can be freely associated and beautified, makes the surrounding humans intoxicated and regard it as their most perfect dream lover, so those sea creatures in this cell Only thieves will die without any resistance.

After a moment of doubt, Nami figured out what was going on, but unfortunately, she was sure that she was not affected by these pheromones. This was not because she was the body of the Blood Fruit, but because she was the original body of the Blood Fruit. Because there is only one female pirate in this cell who was used as a test subject, the monster that developed from her body only mastered the methods and abilities to confuse men. Although Nami's heart is different from that of a woman, her body at the moment is As a pure woman, it is no surprise that the pheromones that attract her physically are ineffective for her.

"But, this means...your disguise ability is not perfect, and...I don't think those fools will be attracted to such a method."

With a casual intravenous shock, all the confused jailers around him were brought down, and Nami was somewhat relieved. What she was most worried about before was that these blood monsters would evolve too perfectly to the point where they would be almost the same as 'human beings' in appearance, but currently, it seemed that these blood monsters were far from reaching that level.

In other words, their instinct alone is not enough to perfectly simulate an overly complex creature like human beings.

According to this idea, even if the blood in Keya's body really mutates Keya, it will not cause harm to Luffy and others. This kind of half-baked charm distortion may be effective on ordinary people. But for those strong-willed people, this can only be regarded as a little trick that cannot be put on the table.

What's more, Nami always has a vague feeling that Keya may not be the same as these pirate aberrations. After all, there is a completely different gap between things that develop under control and things that grow randomly without control. The reason why these pirates quickly turned into monsters is completely linked to their complete inability to resist their bloodthirsty desire, even if It's the same thing with the monsters in the single cells.

The images recorded by the surveillance phone bug are very clear. The monster turned into a mimic suit. Its host had a fanatical and greedy attitude and completely ate its own arms, legs and feet alive in one bite. In order to satisfy that kind of The act of self-cannibalization probably caused the blood in his body to stimulate some kind of powerful narcotic pleasure, and the pirate captain, who had never thought about or could not resist that pleasure, just completed that kind of 'from... It uses its own materials to supply the blood in the body to carry out distortions.

Plants of the same species that grow randomly according to their temperament are called weeds and can only be disposed of as garbage. But with careful cultivation and pruning, it can be called a bonsai, and it has entered the expensive luxury market.

Although Nami can continue to follow this idea and continue to conduct this kind of distortion experiment with carefully trimmed and controlled methods, she herself is just sincerely disgusted by this behavior, as long as she knows that there are indeed countless possibilities for distortion. , which is enough for her. After all, to her, a world full of brainless zombie flesh is not a world worth looking forward to.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work, now you can go die."

Leaving behind the monster that was still releasing pheromones indiscriminately, Nami no longer had any unnecessary words. The orange-haired queen's red eyes lit up instantly, and the powerful ability that was activated swept through violently in an instant. The whole prison was covered, and the blood monsters in all the cells had no room to resist, so they exploded into scattered pieces of flesh amidst the tragic splashing sound. As fragments of power from Nami, they couldn't have any room to resist.

"Pour in kerosene and burn these things clean, unless you want to eat them all as food one day."

After giving a cold warning to the jailers who had woken up, Nami turned around and left the prison. Now that she knew that people who were infused with her own blood would undergo such changes, the most important and most curious thing about her was The question then surfaced, that is: What did Keya become?

————————————

Inside the palace of the Drum Kingdom, Kosha, who is sitting on the throne of the king, is still working hard. As a qualified military leader, although his personal force is hardly worth mentioning in this world where monsters are rampant, his perennial Combat experience and command experience still allowed him to easily secure the position of king. What he is doing now is designing and consolidating the coastline defenses of the entire Drum Kingdom.

"Building two watchtowers at these two locations will prevent large-scale pirate ships from being monitored, and the soldiers can also get good early warning."

Determining the two fortifications on the coastline with a sophisticated eye, Kosha's words were also supported by Dalton on one side. Over the past few days, he had also observed this young man of unknown origin, and what he saw in his eyes The young new king has no bad habits of oppressing his people, and he has no extravagance or waste in personal food and clothing. He is working hard to handle political affairs for the stability of the country. This way The king has undoubtedly passed Dalton's inspection, and not only him, but also those who were originally doubtful about the new king have also seen the true nobility of the other party, so the situation in the Drum Kingdom can be said to be quite stable now.

"Your Majesty has good vision. This is the only area nearby that can park large ships. In this way, even if there are pirates attacking from the sea, we can effectively prevent them."

He agreed with Kosa's order, but Dalton's brows furrowed slightly, and this hesitant behavior did not go unnoticed by the smart new king. Raising his head, Kosha's tone became more majestic: "What's wrong? Dalton, I can see that you have something to say."

Although he had no attachment to the throne that fell from the sky, Kosha was, after all, a qualified leader capable of commanding more than 100,000 rebel troops. Naturally, he could see that Dalton seemed to have some doubts, and nodded gratefully. Dun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes! His Majesty's idea of ​​guarding against those large pirate ships is indeed correct, but... In this world, especially for pirates, it seems that the number and fleet The size...is not the basis for classifying strength and weakness.”

It makes sense for Dalton to say this. After all, the last time the Blackbeard Pirates came to plunder the Drum Kingdom, their number was less than ten people, and their ship was just a pitiful raft, but that's it. A few of his men even scared away Wapol and all his Praetorian Guards. Although Dalton did not fight these pirates head-on, the people who had seen the strength of these pirates had a good conveying effect.
