In the center of the Groseade, on top of a huge plant rhizome, Basire stood on the observation deck at the top, overlooking the people below who were renovating the battleship fortress.
"Lily, can you completely control a human now? And use the Host's Devil Fruit ability?"
Basire finished expressionlessly, and began to prepare several plans in his mind to deal with Blackbeard, the Dark Fruit ability user.
In addition to letting Wapol devour and fuse Blackbeard to gain the Dark Fruit ability, letting Lily Carnation host Blackbeard is another alternative.
Because Basire didn't know if Wapol, that loser, could suppress the strong Blackbeard even if he was weakened.
Moreover, it is not known whether the Munch-Munch Fruit can completely use the Dark Fruit's ability, and whether there is a higher or lower level between the two.
In fact, Basire has one last plan, which is Trafalgar Law. He was wondering if he had already developed the mind-switching technique.
After using the Op-Op Fruit to switch people's bodies, they can also use the new body's Devil Fruit ability.
Basire remembered that in the original work, after Franky and Chopper exchanged minds, Franky's consciousness could use Chopper's abilities at will, and even directly transform into a monster.
"The more powerful the ability user is, the more time I need to host and control it, and it cannot be resisted in the early stage. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to host a strong person who is both powerful and has a sense of resistance."
Under the control of the little yellow flower Lily Carnation, Baron Omatsuri, who had been completely corroded, slowly spoke.
The Baron is a Paramecia Bow Fruit user, but even a user with this ability must be willing in order to be controlled by Lily Carnation.
Back then, in order to 'resurrect' his dead crew members, Baron Omatsuri surrendered his body, mind, and will to this flower of life and death, and became Lily Carnation's Host without any resistance.
"How long will it take for you to lodge a strong man who is completely unconscious and has no ability to resist?"
Basire asked softly. It seemed that Lily's boarding plan was not 100% successful and it looks like hunting Trafalgar Law was still necessary.
Among these three plans, Basire is sure that at least one of them will be successful.
"It only takes three days to grow roots all over a person's body, but it may take a week or two or even longer to control a person's consciousness, depending on the intensity of the goal!"
Lily Carnation thought for a moment and then said honestly, in fact, its consciousness is also very fragile.
If the Baron had resisted, it wouldn't have been able to take hold of him so easily, and it even completed the final trick of controlling his consciousness.
Moreover, it can only host one Host at a time. Now it is very accustomed to using the body of Baron Omatsuri. If it changes to a more powerful Host, she wasn't sure if there would be any problems.
After all, according to Basire, the guy he wants her to control this time may be a real strong man.
If it encounters resistance during the boarding process, it can easily be injured or even killed.
Unless the Host remains comatose and unconscious until its fibrous roots grow all over the Host, and then slowly controls the Host's consciousness until it is completely controlled.
It is also unable to lodge in Basire and other strong pirates who have a strong defense, because its fibrous roots cannot penetrate their skin.
"Very good! If you are needed, you can change to a more powerful Host!"
Basire smiled softly and said, Wapol, Lily Carnation, and a Trafalgar Law will all be the people he prepared to deal with Blackbeard!
"Yes, Master!"
Lily Carnation said respectfully, now its body is rooted in this island ship, and its fate with Basire has been bound together.
Basire looked at the vast sea. Just when he was about to order a new expedition to defeat the Heart Pirates, an uninvited guest appeared, making him frown and become wary.
That guy has actually touched Basire's base camp, which is a bit bad. After all, this guy's ability is very difficult to deal with.
In the future, his island ship may become his back garden. And Basire didn't want to see this big guy in his base camp.
His face became a little gloomy, he didn't know who the bastard that exposed the information about the Big Daddy Pirates was.
However, underworld emperors such as Lu Feld, Umit, and Joker have already transported so much supplies. So it's normal for the locations of Mecha Island and the Groseade to be exposed.
After all, the World Government has many spies planted in various underworld forces.
These forces will even directly sell the information about the Big Daddy Pirates at high prices. After all, they are all profit-oriented bastards.
Basire immediately went down from the observation tower, appeared at the port of the Groseade, and stopped this 'colleague'.
A huge figure wearing a bear hat and holding a book in his hand actually appeared on the island ship's port on a World Government warship, and he also brought some CP agents into Basire's territory.
Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma, a great pirate known as the Tyrant, and also the user of the Paw Devil Fruit.
His strength is unfathomable, even Basire doesn't know his true strength, and his devil fruit ability is quite overpowered.
His arrival this time seems to be to act as a bodyguard for the CP agents. Of course, it may also have other purposes, whether it is a World Government mission or a Revolutionary Army mission.
Basire did not expect that not long after Kuro finished negotiating with the World Government, they had already sent the CP agents over, and they also brought this big guy with them.
What kind of terrifying speed is this?
Is this a warning to Basire?
Or are they secretly saying that the World Government has taken control of the position of the Big Daddy Pirates and asked him not to play any tricks?
Basire squinted his eyes and looked dangerously at Bartholomew Kuma. This guy had probably marked the location after landing at the port of the Groseade.
Basire didn't know the principle of how the Paw Devil Fruit marked a location.
But Gecko Moria's moving Thriller Bark, and the weather island Weatheria that keeps shifting positions, have both been marked by Kuma.
Kuma can appear in these moving places at any time, and can also shoot others away to these marked places.
That means Basire's island ship has also been marked.
He even suspected that the 'book' in Bartholomew Kuma's hand contained the coordinates of his marked locations around the world.
Thriller Bark, Moria's home base, Kuraigana Island, the home base of Mihawk, the island of the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, Kuja Island, Weatheria, the Okama Island Kamabakka Kingdom...
These locations are places that Bartholomew Kuma has already visited.
