Hearing this, Wayne laughed in anger.
"Oh, Admiral Sengoku, how did you know I was here?"
"Huh?" T-Bone subconsciously opened his mouth wide, following Wayne's gaze.
Wayne, quick as a flash, shoved the Mera Mera no Mi directly into T-Bone's mouth.
"Blech! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" T-Bone tried to resist, but it was too late.
"Spitting it out is useless. Since you've already swallowed the Devil Fruit's juice, its power has entered your body. Your esophagus is like a high-speed channel, and the Devil Fruit's power is rapidly transferring throughout your body at 180 kilometers per second."
"Congratulations, the devil lurking in the fruit is transforming your healthy cells. A brand new ability user has been born!"
T-Bone's face was incredibly grim, partly from anger and partly because the Devil Fruit genuinely tasted awful.
"You, what exactly do you want from me?"
Wayne patted T-Bone's shoulder and said lightly, "I don't need you to do anything. You just need to uphold the justice in your heart and use the power I've given you to protect those who need protecting, nothing more."
"You can leave now, Captain T-Bone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the furniture that had enveloped T-Bone sent him out of the Sky Mansion and released him.
The sound of wind roared in T-Bone's ears, and his vision was instantly filled with swirling clouds.
"Ugh ah!" T-Bone flailed his arms in the air in vain, trying to grab onto something, but it was useless.
Driven by his will to survive, T-Bone's body transformed into a fiercely burning orange-red flame, constantly twisting and deforming in the strong wind, eventually coalescing into a blurry human silhouette.
"I… Is this the Mera Mera no Mi?"
T-Bone instinctively looked down at his legs, formed of flames, and with a slight thought,
Whoosh!
Two streams of scorching flames shot out, leaving a charred trail in the air from the hot air current.
T-Bone took one last look at the Sky Mansion gradually disappearing into the depths of the clouds, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Immediately, he transformed into an orange-red meteor and plunged towards the sea below!
"Ding ~ [Commission Order: Power Chasing Justice – T-Bone] has been completed. Acquired Logia Devil Fruit Detector, Chaos Degree +2%, Commission Points * 20000."
Wayne nodded with satisfaction. At this stage, the commissions he could complete were finally cleared. Now he just waited for the next commission to be dispatched.
Wait, he almost forgot, he seemed to still be a reporter. It was time to release the full report on this event.
Wayne took out the pluton blueprint, thinking about how to divide it into three parts according to a 45% + 45% + 10% ratio.
Because he would send 45% of it directly to the World Economic Journal in Bullet's name, another 45% would be put into a message in a bottle and fed to the Sea Kings, and he would keep the remaining 10%.
This way, even if someone obtained 90% of the pluton blueprint, they still wouldn't be able to build Pluton.
Because the remaining 10% was the design for Pluton's main cannon. Without that, Pluton would at most be just a big ship.
Just thinking about it, Wayne felt like such an animal.
But then he remembered Roger, who, despite knowing that the "treasure" of Laugh Tale could only be opened by the Nika successor, still tricked people into searching for Laugh Tale, claiming it was full of gold and silver.
Compared to that, he was practically an angel. At least others still had a chance to get 90% of Pluton, didn't they?
Soon, Wayne drafted two sets of materials: one was Bullet's self-exposure + 45% of the pluton blueprint, and the other was the full account of the Enies Lobby Buster Call incident + photos…
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
"Sengoku, this time it's not your fault. If it were me, I would have done the same."
Sengoku sighed deeply: "Kong, must we really be threatened by this guy like this?"
Kong rubbed his temples: "Unless we are absolutely certain of victory, we have no choice. Alas, let's not talk about this, it gives me a headache."
After learning that Sengoku was threatened into releasing Bullet, the Gorosei were indeed angry at first, but considering the safety of the Celestial Dragons, they had no choice but to grudgingly admit that Wayne's threat indeed possessed powerful destructive force.
Unless they were willing to let the Celestial Dragons hide in some safe place and not show their faces, but that was clearly impossible.
So, there was no choice. Until they found a way to deal with Wayne, they could only maintain the status quo.
The next day, the reports were hot off the press.
"Shocking Secret! pluton blueprint Revealed! Ancient Weapon's True Form Exposed for the First Time!"
"Devil's Heir Bullet Announces Joining the 'Chaos Ladder'! New Identity as 'War Knight'!"
"Full Analysis of the Enies Lobby Incident! War Knight Bullet Battles Full Marine Lineup for 20 Hours! Defeated Yet Glorious! And Was Ultimately Rescued by That Man ?!"
"Searching for the Lost Half! Guesses on the Location of the Other Half of the pluton blueprint! The Answer Will Absolutely Subvert Your Imagination!"
New World, Moby Dick.
Whitebeard held the newspaper, letting out a "Gurararara" laugh, "This guy sure knows how to stir things up. To get people to set sail, he's even willing to take out the pluton blueprint."
"Pops, we already have half. Should we go look for it too?"
Whitebeard shook his head: "No, having you foolish sons is already enough for me."
"Pops!"
Totto Land.
Charlotte Linlin looked at the scaled-up pluton blueprint rubbings her children had just made, her eyes gleaming with greed:
"Mamamama! This is the Ancient Weapon Pluton! If I can find the other half of the blueprint and build Pluton, I will definitely become the Pirate King!"
"Katakuri, always keep an eye out for news of the pluton blueprint from now on, understand?"
"Yes, Mama."
Meanwhile, Bullet, recuperating on a deserted island, read the newspaper and fell into deep thought. So he went from Devil's Heir to War Knight?
Impel Down, Infinite Hell.
"Garp, you're here again. What, is the World Government also preparing to publicly execute me?"
Garp shook his head: "No, your ability is too dangerous. We've decided to put you in a frozen, suspended animation state to prevent the Float-Float Fruit's power from spreading across the sea."
"Jiehahaha, too late! I already gave the Float-Float Fruit's power to another kid. Hmm, let me think, what was his name…"
"Wade?"
Shiki's eyes lit up: "Right, right, right, that's the guy. What, has he caused you a lot of trouble?"
"How did he do it? Can Devil Fruit abilities even be transferred?"
Shiki shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, he said if I gave him my power, he would cause a big ruckus in Mariejois ."
"I figured since I don't need it anymore, I might as well give it to him."
"So, has he caused you a lot of trouble?"
