"I surrender," Crocodile said, taking a deep breath to calm himself. "I was wrong. I'm willing to compensate. What do you say?"
As a pirate, Crocodile knew the value of survival. He'd surrendered to Whitebeard once, preserving his life. Losing wasn't shameful—as long as he lived, he could return stronger.
So he yielded quickly, just as he had against Whitebeard.
Unfortunately…
"I refuse," Morpheus said, shaking his head.
Crocodile was cunning and ruthless, plunging a nation into chaos for his own gain, causing countless deaths. Such a man didn't deserve to live.
Morpheus fully petrified him in less than a second.
Robin witnessed the fall of a Warlord of the Sea. Crocodile, a Logia user, was defeated like a child, unable to withstand a single move.
Unbelievable.
Who was this man, capable of instantly crushing a Warlord?
Even the Four Emperors might not manage this.
Staring at Crocodile's petrified form, his face frozen in shock, Robin stood rooted, terrified of being petrified herself.
This man was too terrifying.
After defeating Crocodile, Morpheus approached, studying the body.
Devil Fruits left their host upon death, seeking a new fruit to inhabit. Morpheus wanted to observe this.
Soon, a strange power emerged from Crocodile's corpse, attempting to flee and find a new host.
Morpheus seized it, refining it instantly.
The Devil Fruit's power tried to alter his genes, but his strength was overwhelming, rendering it ineffective. When it attempted to leave, Morpheus trapped and analyzed it.
It was a unique force, capable of rewriting human genetics to grant diverse abilities—the essence of Devil Fruits.
He also discovered their connection to mental energy, likely a manifestation of a unique psychic force. This explained why each user developed their fruit differently, shaped by their mind and will.
Using his magic, Morpheus absorbed and mastered the Sand-Sand Fruit's power, erasing it from the world.
Even if he died, it wouldn't respawn—it was fully integrated into him.
This gave Morpheus insight into Devil Fruits. With a few more, he could decipher their structure and create them himself.
His gaze turned to Robin. "Miss Nico Robin, can you summon all the Devil Fruit users from Baroque Works?"
Robin took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and smiled faintly. "Of course, Boss."
She assumed Morpheus was usurping Crocodile's position.
He didn't bother correcting her, letting her believe what she wanted.
Robin was efficient. Within a day, she gathered all of Baroque Works' Devil Fruit users.
The next day, after lunch, she entered Morpheus's office—formerly Crocodile's.
"Boss, everyone's here, waiting for you."
Morpheus stood. "Let's go."
Robin led him to a large meeting hall, where Baroque Works' Devil Fruit users awaited:
Daz Bonez, Slice-Slice Fruit.
Paula, Spike-Spike Fruit.
Bentham, Clone-Clone Fruit.
Galdino, Wax-Wax Fruit.
Gem, Bomb-Bomb Fruit.
Mikita, Kilo-Kilo Fruit.
And more.
Morpheus smiled. "Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Morpheus. I've invited you here to wish you a pleasant nap."
With that, every Devil Fruit user collapsed, unconscious.
Only Robin remained awake, her heart pounding. That Morpheus could hypnotize so many with a single sentence made her wish she'd fainted too.
Who was this man? His power was absurd.
Morpheus inspected the unconscious users, analyzing their genes and the Devil Fruits within them.
His study deepened his understanding of Devil Fruits. With this data, he could now craft them—and even create new ones not native to the One Piece world.
He picked up a banana from the table, modifying it with his magic. Seconds later, spiral patterns appeared on its surface.
Robin's eyes widened. "Boss, that's… a Devil Fruit!"
Morpheus nodded. "Correct. This is the Slash-Slash Fruit, one I just created."
