"Doflamingo..."
Listening to the familiar laughter from the phone, an unexpected look flashed in Mio's eyes, and he never thought that a pirate he casually encountered and killed could be related to Doflamingo.
As one of the warlords in the original book, his identity is the former Celestial Dragons. Mio naturally knows Doflamingo very well, so although he has offended Doflamingo, he doesn't feel fear.
What's more, he and Doflamingo may not be enemies, and maybe they can be friends.
"Right? No, no, no, I don't think the Donquixote family is willing to add an enemy like me."
With a smile on his face, Mio said slowly, "Perhaps we can be friends, can't we? The benefits of being friends are far greater than being enemies, what do you think?"
"That's right." The expression on Doflamingo's face condensed, and then he smiled. The eyes under the glasses flickered and the corners of his mouth rose.
"But without sufficient strength, one is not qualified to be friends with the Donquixote family."
"You will see."
"Then I will wait and see. Three days later, Cazorla Island, hope I can see you and my friend, eh, eh."
The phone was hung up.
Mio put away the phone, chuckled and shook his head, "Island Cazorla... It looks like I'm going there."
He still has to borrow Doflamingo's power. After all, Doflamingo's strength may not be strong now, but there is also a bit of intelligence network in North Blue, which can help him find what he wants.
Especially Devil Fruit.
With Devil Fruit, he can extract the genes of the monsters from the heavens and the world through the gene system to cultivate powerful creatures.
"The next Insect Island, I hope it won't let me down. It's best to meet a good creature worth cultivating." Mio murmured, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
After all, only by showing great strength and potential can the Donquixote family take him seriously.
...
After one day.
On the shore of Insect Island.
After parking the boat, Mio and Warwick got off the boat.
"I don't know if it will smell. If it does, it will be difficult."
He was talking about the heads of the pirates on the ship. After all, the weather on the sea is volatile, and there is no freezing setting on the ship. It is impossible to put that thing in the refrigerator, otherwise it will feel strange, because the refrigerator is for food.
Shaking his head, Mio stopped thinking about it.
Stepping on this uninhabited island, Mio can easily hear the sound of insects from the island.
Before coming, Mio also learned about this island.
The Insect Island, as its name suggests, is an island with many insects.
Most of the insects on this island are very powerful, with a larger size and power than ordinary insects.
In addition, this island is actually an ancient island.
Many insects on the island are ancient lifeforms, which is even more extraordinary.
Even with Warwick by his side, Mio still needs to be careful and vigilant when entering this island.
Entering the forest on the island
In an instant, Mio saw a lot of insects, even including a hornet nest on a tree. The hornet here is obviously not comparable to the hornet outside. The size of any hornet is ten centimeters long.
"Warwick, be careful, let's get around here."
Mio said softly, leading Warwick to the other side.
And at this moment.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and then a green figure suddenly attacked Warwick.
"Huh?" Warwick turned to look, his right hand was not slow, and he snapped into the air.
A green mantis with two silver mantis knives was firmly grasped by Warwick and almost killed.
"Warwick, don't kill it, leave it to me." Seeing this, Mio said suddenly, took the praying mantis from Warwick's hand, and then pulled the mantis with both hands and tore it in half.
[Congratulations on your inclusion of the Ancient Praying Mantis gene!]
"Ancient Praying Mantis?" Mio murmured, and then moved on.
Along the way, Mio saw the elegance of this island such as all kinds of insects.
Some of them are highly toxic, almost as long as he saw it, Mio chose to take a detour.
In addition, Mio also got a lot of genes.
Ant genes.
Beetle genes.
Mantis genes.
It also includes a large longhorned beetle gene.
The reason why these genes can be included is also because these insects take the initiative to attack Mio.
"The insects on this island are too warlike." Mio muttered as he walked, basically he hadn't made any shots. Since going to the island, he has been attacked actively.
"Huh? What's that sound?"
Suddenly, Mio stopped, his ears trembled slightly, and he heard a very clear rustling sound from ahead.
"Master, Warwick saw the ant." Mio was cautious, and Warwick couldn't help but cautiously say in a very soft voice beside Mio, and pointed to the ground in front of him.
Looking down, as Warwick said, Mio saw a lot of huge black ants crawling in one direction.
The sound just now was obviously also made by these ants.
Lifting his foot, Mio gently approached, and pushed aside the grass in front of him, suddenly surprised.
On the ground in front of him, a crazy number of black ants piled up to form a circle, and in that circle, there were two larger black ants, almost the size of a keyboard, facing each other.
The two ants are golden and silver respectively.
They all look extraordinary, like upgraded types.
However, it seems that these two ants are going to confront each other, fighting in general.
"Competing to be the ant king?" Mio muttered curiously, causing Warwick to squat down and watch quietly.
A very interesting scene, and the two ants really aroused his interest. He came to this island to look for creatures suitable for him to cultivate. These two ants looked very suitable.
It's just that it's impossible to cultivate two, and there are not enough genes, so he can only choose one.
Now he just looked at these two ants, which will win.
The golden and silver ants, after waiting for a short time, rushed towards each other, using their sharp teeth as weapons, to bite each other, but whether it was the golden ant or the silver ant, The armor on their body is obviously very hard.
Mio even saw that when the two ants were biting on each other, a tiny spark actually flashed.
The tentacles on the heads of other ants gathered around kept trembling, as if cheering on these two ants. Whoever wins is their king.
