Inside the seastone prison of the Groseade.
Shiki, Crocodile, Enel, Capone Bege, these devil fruit users, looked at a man with yellow hair and pink face being dragged away directly by Lafitte who had a joking smile.
"Why me? I'm just a weakling, I have half an appendix. Captain Shiki save me!"
"No, Lord Lafitte, I truly surrender. From now on, I will be a slave of the Big Daddy Pirates, and I will no longer dare to pretend to be aloof."
"In fact, I have long admired the Big Daddy Pirates. I can't wait to leave the Golden Lion Pirates. Please let me join you!"
The Stick fruit user was begging for mercy while crying his eyes out. The rest of his body seemed as soft as a slug as he was carried away by Lafitte.
"Shiki, the garbage you collect is disgusting!"
Crocodile looked at the Stick Fruit user with disgust. He pursued the concept of conquering the world by himself, and his subordinates were all tools.
But the tool must also have some backbone and character, otherwise he will still look down upon him.
"Humph! These garbage are just random waste! However, who are you to talk? I heard that all of your men have joined Basire's pirate group."
Shiki was also very unhappy now. Whether it's the Stick fruit user's rebellion and begging for mercy, or Crocodile's taunt, they all made him very angry.
"Hmph~!"
Crocodile turned around with a cold expression and fell silent with a gloomy look on his face.
Capone Bege seemed to feel that death was coming. After the Stick fruit user was taken away, he felt that his time was not far away.
He couldn't understand why Basire refused to accept his surrender, which made him extremely unwilling and frightened. He really didn't want to die here silently.

Groseade's science laboratory.
The user with the Stick fruit ability looked frightened as he was brought by Lafitte.
"Captain, I am very much looking forward to your experiment."
Lafitte's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. He knew that this attempt was related to the future plans of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Nami, Burgess, Van Augur and other crew members were very excited to plunder devil fruit's abilities, which was an idea they had never thought of before.
If successful, will they still lack top-level devil fruit abilities in the future?
After all, there are a lot of top-notch devil fruit powers in Impel Down, waiting for them to choose from.
Captain Basire captured so many devil fruit users but refused to give them to the Marine. It turned out to be for this reason.
Now they just heard that even after eating a devil fruit there's a possibility that they might still be able to take advantage of this huge boon.
Thinking of this, Nami and Burgess were already grinning widely.
And Trafalgar Law seems to have seen the birth and rise of a super power.
If the experiment succeeds, it will be almost certain that the Big Daddy Pirates will become the new Yonkō crew, and even the possibility of becoming the Pirate King's crew will skyrocket.
While all the crew members were looking forward to it, Basire was carefully studying the dozen versions of Devil Fruit illustrations he had collected.
These devil fruits come in various fruit shapes. According to records, a devil fruit looks almost the same every time it is reborn.
This is also the reason why the Devil Fruit illustrated book can exist. After all, if the devil fruit looks different every time it is reborn, there is no need for the Devil Fruit illustrated book to exist.
Does this mean that these devil fruit abilities can only be randomly reborn in specific fruit types?
Among the known reborn devil fruits, Basire has only seen the Zoan Salamander Fruit that Caesar experimented with, which was transformed from an apple. Most of the artificial Zoan Devil Fruits are apple-shaped as well.
'The Devil Fruit may really require a specific type of fruit to be reborn!'
Basire looked at the Devil Fruit illustrated book and thought deeply. He remembered that Blackbeard personally said that he clearly remembered every devil fruit's appearance in the Devil Fruit illustrated book.
This may also be a dark explanation. In addition to Dark Fruit's black hole gravity, it is also necessary to find the type of fruit corresponding to the devil fruit's ability in order to regenerate it on the spot.
He doesn't believe that just finding an apple will regenerate any devil fruit.
At least, he would not believe that the Zoan Giraffe Devil Fruit would be reborn in an apple, and then turn into a row of bananas, or even a banana-shaped Devil Fruit that could be peeled.
In the original book, when Burgess went to Dressrosa to snatch the Flare Fruit, he also brought a bag of fruits, as if he was going to hunt Straw Hat Luffy to seize the Rubber Fruit.
Blackbeard has seen the entire Devil Fruit illustrated book. So he might know the shape of the Rubber Fruit, but it's not known if he has ever gotten the secret of the Nika Fruit.
After all, he is also a member of the D family. The inheritance of his family may be more complete than that of the Gol D family and the Monkey D family, and he may have some secret information.
Some of the rare devil fruits are strangely shaped, and the special fruit types are also very rare.
This may allow the Devil Fruit ability to search for specific fruit types to be reborn around the world after the death of the previous Host.
This also results in some devil fruits randomly regenerating around the world.
If you find the type of fruit that's compatible with the devil fruit ability, then the possibility of inducing the devil fruit ability to regenerate nearby will become greater.
In Alabasta, the abilities of the two guardian spirits, the Zoan's Jackal Fruit and Falcon Fruit, seem to have been passed down in this country for hundreds of years.
Every time these devil fruits are reborn, it is almost always in their country and passed down from generation to generation.
There may be other specific conditions, or it may be a matter of luck and probability.
It shouldn't be that simple anyway, otherwise the World government would have already recycled all kinds of devil fruits.
···
Basire folded the Devil Fruit illustrated book and ordered people to bring all the prepared fruits up.
Especially fruits like cucumbers that are very similar to the Paramecia Stick Devil Fruit.
Basire feels that this should greatly increase the success rate of the experiment.
Seeing his actions, the three Teach had their eyes widened. They did not expect that Basire really knew the secret of plundering devil fruits.
They couldn't believe that someone else would know this secret that had been lost for hundreds of years.
"You guys look so shocked. It's so cute!"
Basire controlled Blackbeard's body and walked towards the three children with Teach consciousness, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He seems to have successfully guessed part of the secret behind the devil fruits' ability to regenerate.
